Chapter 227: Who's the Cat and Who Is the Mouse
In retrospect, Carter? Eisner felt that there were some things that neither he nor the whole of Disney had overlooked, and the two sides had indeed achieved satisfactory benefits in their previous cooperation, but Ryan had never considered Walt Disney in terms of the most important film distribution channels and several big productions with budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars.
To be exact, he has never tied himself to any studio, especially with Disney, where there is hardly a deep collaboration other than two records.
The record is a one-sign, and the film has temporarily stopped cooperating since "Jumanji", and the distribution channels include Warner, Universal, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox waiting to release the film for him, not to mention, after Jenkins Pictures acquired Carlock Films, it already has North American distribution rights, even if it cannot release its own films.
All of that, summed up, Carter? Eisner has only one feeling, Ryan? Jenkins has been eyeing Pixar for a long time, and has always had a back hand for Disney, and even after "The Lion King", so many voices praising 2D hand-drawn animation are inseparable from him.
The other party's eyes are sharp, and the mind is complex, far beyond most people's imagination, I really don't know Nicole? How did Kidman, that woman, teach such a genius monster?
Carter? Eisner could only sigh in the end, Ryan? Jenkins is no longer the gentle teenager he once was, and no one dares to underestimate a sixteen-year-old billionaire.
Cat and Mouse Game! Carter? Eisner came up with the name of the movie, Ryan? Isn't there an alternative cat-and-mouse game between Jenkins and Walt Disney? But who can tell who is a cat and who is a mouse.
"Nicole, this is Darren. David, Reese, and Chen, my classmates. ”
After saying hello to several mentors, Ryan walked up to Nicole with the four classmates and introduced them one by one, Nicole understood that the classmates that Ryan introduced to her must have been recognized by him to a certain extent, and shook hands with the four of them.
"My short film was made with their help." Ryan added.
"Then I'm going to say thank you?" Nicole said with a smile.
"No, I don't. We are collaborative. ”
In the face of so many celebrities and celebrities, the four of them are still a little nervous.
"Hey, a few big directors and big producers in the future, you should get used to this atmosphere early." Ryan deliberately joked to ease their mood.
"Oh. God, that's David? Finch. His films "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Scream" are my big love! "Darren? A green glow gleamed in Bausman's eyes. It's clearly a fan who has seen an idol.
"Need I give you an introduction?" Ryan made a gesture of please, first to David? Finch walked over, "Darren, David is preparing a new film, if you can get his approval, you can go to the crew to do odd jobs during the New Year's holiday." It's a great opportunity to get hands-on. ”
"Really?"
"Of course."
Ryan did what he said, and after a simple introduction, he left, as for whether the four of Darren wanted to impress David? Finch. That's up to them.
"Looks like you're very attentive to these four people?" Nicole grabbed Ryan's arm and asked curiously.
"Four very talented people, and they are willing to work hard, and they are not bad people." Ryan stared at Nicole and smiled.
"It's really rare, you are willing to take the initiative to help others and take the initiative to make friends." Nicole gently pinched the crook of his arm, and her tone was a little strange.
"Could it be that I haven't volunteered to help people before?" Ryan snorted dissatisfiedly, "Do you need me to list them all, dear Nicole?" ”
"Come on, Ryan." Nicole didn't bother to pay any more attention to him, and when she turned her head, she saw another blonde woman walking over, "Honey, someone has come to thank you." ”
"Who?"
Ryan followed Nicole's gaze, Charlize? Theron, dressed in a gray and white one-shoulder evening gown, had already stepped closer.
"Hello, Miss Kidman." Charlize shook hands with Nicole and then said to Ryan, "Thank you, Ryan." ”
"You're welcome, Charlie, I just recommend you to audition, and being able to get that role shows that you have enough strength in yourself."
Just last week, Charlize? Theron passed the third audition for the title of lead actress in Jurassic Park 2.
"No, Ryan, I really should say thank you."
Charlize? Theron is a smart man, she vaguely knows, Stephen? Spielberg's original preference was Julian? Moore, who later learned that he was recommended by Ryan, had a third chance to audition.
"Do you have time this weekend? Can I invite you to dinner and express my gratitude? Her smile was unusually sweet.
"Weekend?" Ryan was just about to answer, but Nicole suddenly pinched his arm covertly, and had to politely refuse, "You're too polite, Charlie, don't bother so much." ”
"That'...... All right. ”
When you turn away, Charlize? Theron frowned, a woman's senses are always very sensitive, Nicole? Kidman's movements were small, but they didn't escape her eyes.
"This isn't an easy woman, Ryan." Looking at the tall figure that disappeared into the crowd, Nicole suddenly spoke.
"Come on, Nicole." Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, "There are a few women who can make a name for themselves in Hollywood. ”
"Are you talking about me, Ryan?" Nicole was dissatisfied.
"Alright, dear, it's almost time." Ryan wouldn't be stupid enough to dwell on this kind of issue, and deliberately looked at his watch, "We should go in, the movie is about to begin." ”
Although the film is about the experience of a criminal, it is not a traditional crime movie, and it shows Frank's crime in a light-hearted and playful way, and the opening line undoubtedly best reflects the theme of the film - two rats fall into the cream, one of them gives up hope and drowns, and the other struggles until the cream is buttered and escapes.
Actually, from another point of view, Frank has a traditional 'American spirit'. ’
Ryan plays this super criminal, young, wild, simple, bold, intelligent, but full of childishness, ran away from home at the age of sixteen because of the breakdown of the family, relying on extraordinary courage, superb imitation ability, and clever observation of words and feelings, disguised as the co-pilot to travel around the United States, in just two years, with fake checks to defraud millions of dollars, like an adult man wandering among the beautiful women in the car, with ease.
However, Frank did all this not for himself, he just wanted to restore the broken family to whole, to let his father regain his former honor, he was like a second mouse that fell into the cream, desperately struggling to get rid of his fate.
This reflects Frank's simple side, he never understands that it is difficult to reunite after breaking the mirror, and what he does will only lead him to a road of no return that is difficult to stop.
The liar is lonely, and Frank is also lonely, Ryan uses his own characteristics and acting skills to vividly interpret Frank's confusion, simplicity and freehand in the first half of the play.
Although all the audience knew that the face belonged to Ryan, his master showed the temperament of another person, which belonged to a genius in the sixties.
The biggest attraction of this movie is the rivalry between Carl and Frank, which is different from Ryan's chic, Tom? Agent Carl, played by Hanks, appeared as a middle-aged man with a dull personality, a bad career, and a failed marriage.
Colleagues are not welcome, and the boss doesn't treat him very well, and he only knows how to bury himself in work every day, but he is played around by a hairy boy like Frank.
Ryan and Hanks collided in the first rivalry scene, when Frank used deception, coupled with a little luck, to play this fairly shrewd agent between applause, many people were hooked, and the two actors showed Oscar-level acting skills in this short confrontation of minutes.
Frank and Carl, one is a criminal and the other is an agent, should have been natural enemies, but two people who are also lonely, but in the end, they have an alternative father-son relationship, which can be regarded as the inner main line of the film.
After a long pursuit, it is not difficult to understand the loneliness of the other party, why do two people always chat at Christmas? Because they have no one to get close to except each other.
To put it another way, Frank represents freedom, wildness and recklessness, while Carl represents responsibility and obligation, until one day, Frank looks back and realizes that his most cherished things have long been lost.
In the end, Carl swore by his daughter in exchange for Frank's trust, and in Frank's heart, Carl's loyalty to his daughter should be as indestructible as his trust in his father.
With this trust, Frank put the handcuffs on his wrists, and as Karl walked out of the church, the French police swarmed to the peaceful music of the choir, eager to tear him apart.
It was at this moment that trust was established between the two, and Carl promised to extradite Frank back to the United States, and Frank believed in his promise.
The end of the movie is as relaxed as the tone of the whole movie, after five years of overcoming his prison sentence, Fran became a technical consultant for the FBI under Carl's campaign, specializing in solving difficult cases of check fraud, and even became a lecturer for the FBI and large companies, teaching check security techniques and anti-fraud techniques, achieving a unique American dream.
The film is extremely fast-paced, like a highly trained person running around the track, with both Spielberg and Ryan removing some redundancy when writing the script to make the plot more compact.
With the rise of the Internet, the fast-paced era has come, and the kind of tepid commercial movies are destined to be eliminated by the market. (To be continued......)
