The last person to ask the question was not an ordinary reporter, but an NBC presenter.

Just like the premiere of "Jurassic Park", Ryan sold the rights to the red carpet and the press conference behind it to NBC, and the film invested so much money that it couldn't be placed in advertising, and of course it had to do everything he could to recoup his investment.

He is not only an actor, but also a well-known film investor in Hollywood, an investor who does not pay attention to profits and earnings, and is definitely not a qualified investor.

Moreover, with "Jurassic Park" first, the contact between the crew and NBC TV can be described as an instant hit.

You must know that the crew and the film companies involved in the investment production, as well as the major studios, have done their best to invite a large number of celebrities, and it is no exaggeration to say that if someone blows up the Chinese theater, Hollywood will definitely fall into a trough, and it will even be difficult to turn over for several years.

Since it was a question asked by a partner, Ryan would naturally cooperate.

"In my opinion, the so-called historical record has only one function." He paused, waited for the surroundings to be completely silent, and then said, "That's what someone later came to break." ”

"So you think Titanic can break the record of Jurassic Park?" The eyes of many reporters lit up.

"Of course! Undoubtedly. ”

Confident in his strength, Ryan grabbed Nicole's arm and turned around and walked towards the theater.

"Ryan, how much do you think you can get at the box office in the first week?"

"My bottom is ......" Ryan raised his hand behind his back and stretched out a slender finger, "One hundred million dollars!" ”

"Wow~"

As much as they thought he might say that, Ryan's voice sent the reporters into a frenzy, and they didn't care about anything else to get more exciting news out of his mouth. Nearly a hundred people fanned out, like half of the sea at high tide, rushing towards Ryan and Nicole.

Without looking back, Ryan knew what the effect of his words would be, and took Nicole by the hand and hurried a few steps into the human wall set up by the security guards.

Although the human wall blocked the reporters, the chaotic scenes made the entrance of the theater chaotic, and the crew had to cancel the routine group photo and withdraw into the theater as much as possible.

"Ryan. You messed up our photo and should be compensated. ”

Kate in a fancy dress? Winslet joked as she walked, "We were like a bunch of deserters, or deserters who were defeated by reporters." ”

"Can we make up for it later, or can you go and get rid of them?" Ryan's words. caused the entire crew to laugh.

Enter the foyer of the theater, which is full of celebrities. There are big stars in front of the stage. There are also behind-the-scenes producers, as well as the top management of the film company, even Michael? Eisner, who didn't quite deal with Ryan, accepted the invitation.

After all, this is an unprecedented masterpiece of feedback from all sides. There is a good chance that it will be an unprecedented success!

What others think and think, Ryan can't care, but he himself is full of confidence.

The movie is good enough. is not inferior to the previous life, he also deliberately put the premiere on Wednesday night, in terms of publicity and marketing, not only invested a lot of money, but also almost achieved the ultimate now, whether it is the North American market, or the main overseas market, the shadow of the Titanic can be seen everywhere.

The crew also has several other advantages, the most typical is Ryan himself, and the influence and appeal he has now are definitely not comparable to Xiao Li in the same period in his previous life.

Having said that, one of the reasons why Ryan wanted to shoot "Cat and Mouse Game" before this movie was to restore his popularity and strengthen his appeal.

Since others are willing to come to cheer, whether it is sincere or not, Ryan, as the host, has to be polite, and when he roughly turns around the hall and returns to Nicole, the Australian girl is with Linda? Hamilton chatted about something.

From Linda? It could be seen from Hamilton's expression that she didn't seem to be very happy, and was just forcing a smile.

Actually, Ryan can guess a little, the crew is a lot of mouthful, and some situations will inevitably come out, probably she noticed James? Cameron's affair has endured until now, and it is estimated that he also wants to save this relationship for several years.

It's a pity that liking the new and hating the old is a common problem for all men in the world.

Nicole talked to the other party for a few words, and when she saw Ryan, she took the initiative to come over and asked with a smile, "Are you tired?" ”

"A little bit."

Socializing was a laborious activity, and Ryan simply pulled Nicole into a quiet corner, "It's okay, we're just one of the hosts." ”

Movies are co-investments, and it's not just Jenkins Films that invites guests.

It seems that Ryan's words were not heard, and Nicole's eyes fell on James not far away? Cameron vs. Linda? Hamilton's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Something seems to have gone wrong between Linda and Jim."

"It's normal, after all, the men who can withstand the temptation are in the minority." Ryan doesn't care much, Hollywood's division and integration are normal, "Jim is talented and capable, and he is still one of Hollywood's great directors, and there are women who take the initiative to pursue him......"

"Ryan, are you talking about yourself?" Nicole interrupted him, her pale blue eyes flickering, "Or are you looking for a reason for yourself?" ”

"I'm ......" Ryan rolled his eyes and cautiously tentatively said, "Nicole, you know, this circle is very complicated, what if...... I mean, in case ......"

"There are no ifs, and no ifs." Nicole's tough character finally showed, she didn't give him any reason or excuse, "If something like this happens, you'd better pray that you can hide it from me for the rest of your life, otherwise you'll ......"

Nicole grinds her white teeth, in which the warning and severity speak for themselves.

"Ryan, I'm sure you're not going to let me down, are you?" After the stick is a sweet date, Nicole looks like I believe in you very much.

I was so dazed that I could ask such a stupid question! Ryan scolded himself in his heart, not knowing what to say.

He can deal with everyone hypocritically, but he doesn't want to deceive the two people who grew up with him, it's just the man's turbulent heart......

Nicole stared at him, as if waiting for a promise, as if trying to see something out of it.

"Hey, Ryan, and Nicole."

The woman's voice of greeting sounded like heaven to Ryan, and he quickly turned his head, "Hello, Charlie." ”

"Hello, Charlize."

The moment the two women shook hands, they frowned at the same time, and at the same time bloomed a smile of entertainment.

"I haven't seen the test screening, but I'm sure it's going to be a masterpiece." Charlize? Theron clearly didn't mean to leave immediately, "I heard Stephen say that you took on the role of his next movie?" ”

"Ryan, Harvey is here." Nicole quietly pulled his arm down.

To Charlize? Theron made an apologetic gesture, and Ryan turned his head to see Harvey? Weinstein, the big fat man, leading another fat man, was walking towards him and Nicole.

Another one who came to the door? A smile tugged at the corner of Ryan's mouth.

"Ryan, is this Peter? Jackson is a director from New Zealand. "Harvey? Weinstein introduced the two sides, "Peter, this is Ryan, this is Nicole. ”

"Let me think about it." After greeting each other, Ryan tapped his head with his finger, "I should have seen your movie, "Zombies Play Across the Line", is that the name?" ”

"Yes!" Peter? Jackson nodded, but his image of a full face and beard was indeed a little worse, "That was a few years ago in the movie, actually, I was in contact with Pie last year?" Ms. Kinsley ......"

"I know." Ryan stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "It's The Lord of the Rings, right?" Peter, frankly, I'm not going to transfer the rights to the film adaptation. ”

Only an idiot would sell the adaptation rights of this movie when CG technology is becoming more and more mature, not to mention anything else, the original seller has long regretted it, and gave up what may be a huge profit for the sake of huge immediate benefits.

"My studio can make a five-minute or so short film about The Lord of the Rings, and then you can judge, Ryan, trust me, I can turn this great novel into an equally great movie."

In a certain way, Peter? Jackson can be regarded as a brain-dead fan of "The Lord of the Rings".

"Well, Peter, I'm going to be busy with publicity lately, and I may not have time to spare, so we'll talk about specific things next month or a little later." Ryan doesn't want to make a wedding dress for someone else, "The producer of the movie can only be Jenkins Films, and I won't give up the copyright." ”

"Ryan...... "Harvey?" Weinstein was the first to speak.

"Harvey, don't be so greedy." Ryan casually joked, and then asked seriously, "Are you sure Miramax has enough money to invest in both trilogies at the same time?" ”

Needless to say, Harvey? Weinstein also understood that this must be a big investment, and unless there is a big debt to raise, where does Miramax have so much liquidity.

"Okay, Ryan, I'll wait for your call." Peter? Jackson breathed a sigh of relief.

How many times has he looked for pie before? Jinsley, the other party didn't want to talk at all, and finally caught up with Harvey? Weinstein's line, come directly to Ryan? Jenkins was the right choice.

"So, Jenkins Pictures is going to make a big move again?" Nicole thought for a moment and said, "Money may be tight. ”

"My dear, after the release of "Titanic", we will have hundreds of millions of liquidity."

It was almost time, Ryan took Nicole into the theater, and their seats were surrounded by members of the crew, most of whom had not seen the dailies, and they were nervous and expectant at this time, and if the film really set an unprecedented record, they would also be part of the record.

The lights of the canopy went out one after another, the opening credits of Paramount, Jenkins Films, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox lit up on the big screen one after another, and in the ethereal chant, a yellowed old shot recreated the Titanic and the Port of Southampton!

At that time, the world's largest and supposedly unsinkable giant ship set sail! (To be continued......)
