Chapter 58: Declaration of War
The film company is over, for the four of them, even if all the tens of millions of dollars are lost, it is not a disaster that can no longer be turned over, if the investment can be profitable, just like Ryan's previous works, it will bring a steady stream of income.
Ryan went to the car to retrieve his backpack and handed one of the file bags to Pie Kingsley, the script for "The Bodyguard" that had been revised, and ten songs including "I.Will.Always.Love.You" and "I.Have.Nothing".
The script, like his previous works, is mixed with many storyboard drafts, and Ryan also notes that it is best to invite Kevin Costner to play the leading role, of course, it doesn't matter if the film company doesn't agree, Hollywood will play the same way if everyone is missing.
Besides, as long as this kind of movie finds a qualified commercial film director, and the other party does not have head cramps and makes a literary fan, the possibility of losing money is infinitely small.
The eight songs that were added to the creation cost him a lot of time and energy, after all, there is such a thing as inspiration, not that you want it to have, but Ryan is confident that these songs will definitely not be inferior to the original.
In addition to that, there is a small folder, and after Kingsley takes it, Ryan said, "Pat, after the company is established, try to win the film adaptation rights of these books and novels, "Sugar Coated Trap", "Forrest Gump", "The Identity of Bourne", "Interview with the Vampire" and "A Kind of Catch Me: The True Legend of the Most Extraordinary Liar" Do your best, and you can do the rest." ”
"This is ......," Kinsley frowned, "and Chinese novel?" ”
"Hmm. You know, I'm interested in Eastern culture. Ryan replied and said, "If you have time, you can go to Taiwan in person." ”
In fact, Ryan made a big list of lists, except for the four articles he said, the others can win the best, it doesn't matter if he can't win, originally, he also wanted to include Stephen King's "Different Seasons" in the scope of his best efforts, but then after thinking about it, he gave up.
Yes, "The Shawshank Redemption", based on one of them, is so wonderful and classic that it's one of the best movies of the 90s, but does it really deserve the two-word review of perfection? What's more, it lost a lot at the box office, for the simple reason that in this era, prison-themed movies are not liked very much by both the audience and film schools.
Later, a lot of success in the video tape market came from the sympathy points after the defeat of the Oscars, if you get it out yourself and get one or two statuettes at the Oscars, then there will really be no place to cry with tears.
It's a very realistic Hollywood, and if you mess it up once, you'll throw away more than half of your previous aura, especially for screenwriters.
If this happens, do you have to wait ten years later, when the media goes back to commenting on classic movies, and then justifies "The Shawshank Redemption"?
It's better to own who's things, so it's no surprise that "The Shawshank Redemption" will still be a classic.
After the business was over, several people chatted, and soon the topic turned to Ryan.
"Ryan, what happened yesterday isn't normal." After all, Jin Sili has been in this circle for a long time, and she subconsciously feels that something is wrong.
"That's right." Ryan nodded, "It's a long way away, but I see Tom Cruise sitting in the car across the street from the school. ”
"Him?" Nicole clenched her teeth, as if she was going to choose someone to devour, "Is it him again?" I'll see ...... next time."
"Nicole, don't worry." Ryan squeezed her hand hard and slowly broke her clenched fist apart, "Pat, inform us that I'm going to hold a press conference. ”
……
It's another weekend, and many reporters are gathering at Disneyland headquarters in Burbank, many of whom are well-known figures in the media industry, and it is a big task to get them out en masse.
Just a few days ago, the media, including the Los Angeles branches of the three major newspapers in the United States, received a notice that Ryan Jenkins was going to hold a press conference.
It wasn't just the print media reporters who arrived, they also saw the Fox OB van.
In fact, this was Ryan's idea, he borrowed Disney's press room, and simply gave Disney the TV rights to the press conference, anyway, his original intention was to make as much noise as possible.
Unexpectedly, Disney not only gave the broadcast rights to Disney TV, but also sold it to Fox TV, which made Ryan speechless, but this is fine, after all, Fox TV's influence is far greater than Disney TV.
It seems that in order to cheer Ryan up, not only Jinsili sat next to him, but even Nicole sat on the other side, as for the reporters in the audience, it was quite orderly, at least it didn't turn into a messy vegetable market.
"I think everyone knows about the events of the other day...... Ryan briefly recounted what happened after school that day, and said, "I don't know who they are, and I don't want to know who they are, my lawyer has sent a lawyer's letter, their behavior threatens my personal safety, I will apply to the court for a restraining order!" ”
"But ......," one reporter couldn't help but stand up, "they said there was evidence for ......"
"It's not time to ask questions." Ryan interrupted unceremoniously, then looked to the side, "I repeat, on this shijie, I only have one relative, and her name is Nicole Kidman!" ”
Ryan's eyes then left the Australian girl, only the tenderness in it disappeared, replaced by a sword-like sharpness, "For me, they never existed in my life, they didn't exist in the past, they don't exist now, they will ...... Still non-existent. ”
The reporters in the audience naturally understood that they were the ones who abandoned him.
"Also, you know what kind of experience I had in my childhood, for me, the person who provides sperm and eggs does not mean that they are relatives, even if they do appear in front of me in the future, I will not admit them!"
This sentence, which is destined to become a classic Hollywood quote, came out of Ryan's mouth, and many reporters present had dealt with him, and it was the first time to see the boy's passionate and full of personality.
However, before Ryan finished speaking, he looked for the TV camera, pointed to the camera with his right hand and said, "I know it's you standing behind, since you want to go to war, well, war...... Let's go! ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and a reporter who reacted quickly immediately guessed the meaning of Ryan's words, and vaguely understood who he was referring to!
War? A blatant declaration of war?
Just as the audience was stunned, Ryan pulled Nicole up and left the press conference without looking back, leaving Insley alone to deal with the guys who blew up the nest.
"Ryan, you ......" Back in the lounge, Nicole didn't know what to say, in this circle, even if there is a big contradiction, there are very few people who openly choke.
"Nicole, don't worry, don't forget, I'm a kid under twelve, rebellious, fierce, not many people are more accountable." Obviously, Ryan has long thought about it, and age is sometimes a disadvantage for him, and sometimes it is a great advantage.
Adults will always tolerate minors, not to mention, Ryan didn't say who the other party was, nor did he say anything too excessive.
"Okay." Nicole could only sigh, and before she knew it, she always treated him like an adult.
Nicole's mobile phone rang at this time, she looked at the number in New York, and immediately understood who was calling, "Ryan, Nat's number." ”
Nat? Ryan was stunned for a moment, isn't this the time for the two of them to talk on the phone? I think Natalie watched the live broadcast of the press conference just now.
"Nat, what's wrong?"
"Ryan, did you mean Tom Cruise?" Natalie on the other side asked.
"That's right, the things that have happened these days have nothing to do with him."
"Then will it cause unhappiness if you say this?" Natalie was visibly worried.
"Don't worry, Nat." Ryan let out a hard breath and continued, "He can't all hit me in the face, I don't respond yet." ”
"Ryan, I know I can't help you right now, what I want to say is that I will always stand with you and fight back in any way you can think of!" Obviously, Natalie was somewhat influenced by Ryan, and sometimes a little lawless.
"Fight back? Definitely, I must ......" Ryan suddenly remembered something, froze for a moment, and continued, "Nat, wait until I get home, I remember something. ”
"Okay, Zaijian."
Ryan hung up the phone, stuffed it to Nicole, and found it in the break room, when the door to the break room opened, and Carter Eisner entered.
"Ryan, no matter what, Disney is on your side!" He shouted.
Ryan rolled his eyes, Disney had nothing to do with Tom Cruise, and at this time he had to stand on the other side, unless his head was in the water.
"Nicole, where's my backpack? xiexie。 ”
He didn't care about Carter, so he took the pen and blank sheet music from his backpack and sat down, trying to remember the tune of the song.
Carter Eisner obediently closed his mouth at Nicole's signal, stood aside and scratched his ears and cheeks, he had seen this situation, obviously Ryan was inspired, but looking at the current appearance, it seems that it is written in a musical score?
Frankly speaking, in addition to taking away the works that belong to Tom Cruise in the future, Ryan is not more likely to fight back now, don't look at his ruthless words, in fact, he understands that this is just to show his attitude, as for others, I am afraid that it will only be regarded as angry words after being wronged by children.
But Natalie's words just now reminded him of Taylor's way to deal with his ex-boyfriends in his previous life, yes, he can also write a song, a song that is very popular, and can even be on the billboard, without swearing words, without naming names, but it can make everyone understand, and ridicule and ridicule him fiercely.
This can make him the laughing stock of the whole of North America, and even the whole of Shijie, even though he is already the laughing stock of the whole of America.
I'm a genius! Ryan hahadaxiao looked up, then looked at Carter Eisner, "Carter, can we go to Hollywood Records now?" ”
…… The second watch is sent, and I am overwhelmed with collections and tickets, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the state has dropped significantly...... Thanks to the tips of a few friends ~ I am grateful......
