While Natalie was sitting in the classroom, looking at the New York Post given to her by reporters, Ryan was reading the same newspaper in his hotel suite, his face calm, only with a slight mocking smile.

"Shameful love!"

That's the title of the article, which directly characterizes the movie, which is very shocking, but Ryan just took it as a joke...... Well, every issue of the New York Post is actually a collection of American jokes.

“…… Although the film is secretive, it is clearly praising the love affair between the killer and the underage girl, which is very immoral, such a film should be restricted, in addition, there are several scenes of minors with guns in the movie, I don't know how the MPAA got it approved, such a film should be rated NC-17, not put in the cinema and let people watch it in a grand manner, which is a challenge to the American value orientation! ”

"We don't understand, as a teenage genius, a Hollywood gold medal screenwriter and famous child star, Ryan? Why did Jenkins choose such a sensitive subject, could it be that his past achievements have carried him away, or does he not understand what a sense of social responsibility is? No matter how good this movie is, it's a shame! ”

There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, and the tabloids will naturally look at this movie with the worst eyes, and the New York Post has always liked to contradict it, and it would be strange not to attack "Killer Leon" and not to attack itself.

Ryan also wondered why the New York Post had been so quiet for two days, and it turned out that it was a little slower to react.

It's good now. The sky is blue, and the light is bright. The air was fresh, and the tabloids began to spray feces. The world is back to normal.

Anyway, he has long been used to it, and Ryan will not care, now he has neither the ability nor the energy to care about these trivial things, just make an account in his heart.

As for restricting the film or removing it early, the New York Post can only shout, and even the federal government can't take the movie down at will without enough excuses.

It may not be too difficult to take an unpopular movie down, but it is necessary to force a popular movie to be downgraded. That needs a convincing reason.

Behind the hit movie, it is not only the interests of the producer, but also the interests of the theater chain, and the interests of advertisers, which represents more than just the box office.

As long as they can benefit from "Killer Leon", the media group that controls the cinema chain will ignore the clamour, in the eyes of capitalists, money or something is the cutest thing.

Ryan took Harvey? Weinstein had the first-week box office stats sent over, looking at the numbers above. I couldn't help laughing, and I didn't waste my own revisions.

In the first three days, it was released in more than 2,500 theaters and grossed $30.44 million in North America. firmly sat on the throne of the weekly box office chart, not only surpassing the total North American box office in the previous life, but even catching up with the global box office.

"Killer Leon" is indeed a classic. But in the previous life, it was not much success in North America, and the investment of about 20 million only returned to the North American box office of less than 20 million US dollars. Thanks to its popularity in Europe and the Far East, the genre eventually grossed more than $45 million worldwide.

Now I have my own joining. The fate of this film has been changed.

Of course, it's not just the movie, as far as Ryan knows, Miramax has already contacted the manufacturer, and Evergreen, the bear doll, the bowler hat, Matilda's costume, and the classic pendant have all been developed into peripheral products.

Even, Harvey? Weinstein also contacted Marvel about publishing a comic book version of Killer Leon, but unfortunately, Marvel is now in trouble and doesn't have the energy to take on the business.

Like other popular movies, there is a whole chain of interests in this, which affects the whole body.

Ryan is well aware that he is now underage and has limited strength, and being able to be cared for by the giants is nothing more than providing them with huge benefits, and he has been trying to tie the allies to the same chariot of interests.

However, seeing the following news, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head, there was really no simple character among the women who became famous in her previous life.

A few days ago, the reporter got the news that Liv, who had auditioned for "Killer Leon"? Miss Taylor claimed that the original big audition was just a hype, and there was a strict injustice, and she would have been the one who won the role of Matilda, but she didn't expect it to be Natalie in the end? Miss Portman, which has a dark box operation ......"

"Liv is down there? Miss Taylor's exact words - on the day of the second audition, I was dining at an Italian restaurant and saw Ryan? Jenkins and Natalie? Portman, they sat together talking and laughing, obviously not what they had just met, they should be old friends, and sitting together were Natalie's mother and Ryan's agent, they were celebrating, I was disappointed at the time, I thought it was a fair audition, but I didn't expect it to be like this......"

"Ryan? Jenkins is known as a role model for teenagers in the United States, and he used to be my idol, but it was very disappointing, and this audition was just a show for him to hype, and I regret participating in such an audition very, very much, Natalie? Portman deserves so much credit, she got the role by dishonorable means, and the Screen Actors Guild should be investigating it......"

"I'm a model who had the opportunity to be an actor, but now I can only appear in the music video, which is not fair, and it is not fair to all the girls who participate in the audition......"

Is it really uneven? It's just self-hype. Ryan simply tossed the newspaper aside, and as his fame grew, there would be no less of this kind of hitchhiking in the future, so it would be good to ignore it.

Are elf princesses really innocent? That's just the image in the movie, maybe it's not clear to others now, but Ryan knows that this girl has lived in such a complex circle since she was a child, and her mind will be simple?

Of course, her hype is hype, as long as she doesn't touch the bottom line, Ryan will only fall on deaf ears.

However, he didn't care, but someone did, and around noon, Natalie's phone called.

"Ryan, that Liv? How can Taylor say that, I also said hello to her when I auditioned, you should know that I got this role on my own! ”

"Hey, Nat, don't get so excited, okay?" Ryan persuaded.

"I really don't deserve so much praise for my performance? Or is her acting better than mine......"

Acting? Ryan rolled his eyes, Liv? Taylor's acting ...... Well, it's sunny today.

"I got the role of Matilda by dishonorable means, what dishonorable means did I use? We're good friends, but was Luc the one who decided the role? Besson. "Natalie is just venting her frustration." Ryan, if you want me to do something, she's criticizing you too. ”

"No, Nat." Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Remember what I told you about self-hype?" ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, Nat, ignore it. Also, do you think her opinion matters, or does it matter to the mainstream media and well-known film critics, who praise you almost unanimously, and don't forget, even God can't win everyone's affection. ”

"I see." Natalie was very clever and quickly regained her composure.

I have to say that Ryan has a great influence on her, this little girl's heart is far stronger than in her previous life, and after a moment of anger, she can then regain her calm mind.

"Yes, there's one thing, I ...... I don't know who to say to. Natalie seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Did something happen, Nat?" Ryan frowned, "Could it be that the paparazzi are making things difficult for you?" ”

Probably not, both herself and Jinsili have taught her a lot in this regard, and Natalie has long been mentally prepared.

"When I was out of class just now, I was in the locker and found a letter."

"Letter?" Ryan tightened the microphone.

"Yes, a letter written by a man, it is full of obscene language, saying that I miss your tender body and want to ......"

Although Natalie didn't say any more, Ryan guessed what was going on, and the person who wrote the letter was most likely Lolicon.

"What should I do?" Natalie is still a kid after all.

Ryan scratched his head for a while, he remembered very well that in his previous life, Natalie had such an encounter, but now this person is very likely to be someone from her school, just harassing that is okay, if it is John? Hinckley like that......

After patting his head, Ryan secretly scolded himself for starting to think crankily again, and hurriedly said, "That's it, Nat, you can take a leave of absence for the time being, anyway, you will go to France in a few days to participate in propaganda." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed, this circle is disturbed, and it is not a simple matter to protect the people he wants to protect, maybe there should be more actions.

Money and time! Ryan covered his forehead, this is what he needs most, money represents powerful capital in this country, and time can make him an adult!

The hype of tabloids is sometimes a bad thing, sometimes a good thing, and it can keep the movie hot enough to keep people hooked up, which can drive the box office.

Even, some of the hype is Miramax manipulating behind the scenes, and the entertainment industry has developed to the present, and the weight of publicity in it is getting heavier and heavier, and sometimes it can be equated with box office figures.

Before going to France, the crew also gave an interview to NBC TV, and when asked by the host, Ryan made no secret of it.

"Natalie is my best friend, we've known each other since '89, and even though she's in New York and I'm in Los Angeles, it hasn't affected our relationship, in fact we talk to each other at least once a week, more than twice a week."

"Some people questioned the audition, but I want to say, after watching "Killer Leon", what do you think of Nat's performance? I can't describe how brilliant I am, she's my Matilda! (To be continued......)
