"You promised him?"

Hearing Ryan's question, Charlize shook his head directly, "No, I refused." ”

She continued, "I think 911 is a scar that will never be erased in the United States, and we should choose to forget rather than uncover it again and show the pain to everyone." ”

"Dear ......"

Pulling one of Charlize's hands, Ryan kissed the back of his hand gently, "You're getting smarter." ”

"...... so"

The golden eyebrows were raised high, and Charlize glared and said, "You think I used to be a fool?" ”

"How could that be?" Ryan didn't even think about it, and said directly, "I think you're the smartest person in all of Africa." ”

"That's pretty much it."

She shrugged gracefully, as happy as the African savannah welcoming the monsoon's rains, but asked with a little confusion, "In that case, why Oliver?" Why did Stone choose such a highly controversial subject? ”

"Honey, have you forgotten that this is his usual style." Ryan gestured to Charlize as a reminder, "From JFK to Natural Born Killer, have his films sparked less controversy each time?" ”

"It seems ......," Charlize recalled, "that is. ”

"Only when there is controversy can there be a topic, and only when there is a topic can it attract attention."

After so many years in Hollywood, Ryan knows that there is a group of people who like to use controversial themes the most, "but controversy sometimes makes a movie, and sometimes it ruins a movie." ”

"And what about ...... Alexander the Great?" Charlize asked, after looking around.

"I didn't attend the Warner Bros. auditions, so I don't know what to do, but ......," Ryan said in a voice that only they could hear, "if there were some controversial plots in an epic like this, or even too sensitive or distinctive." Movie ......"

At this, he shook his head.

Engage in base, love. Mother, bisexuality and other plots, in this era is almost looking for death, this is not a niche literary film, but a commercial film aimed at the mainstream market, as well as rhythm and narrative techniques, etc., the movies in the previous life all have the problem of zài strict zhòng.

If this movie in this world is like the previous life, the box office reputation fiasco is an inevitable result.

Take Oliver? Will Stone's shooting style change? The answer doesn't have to be thought about at all, certainly not.

And Warner Bros. adjusted the film from the originally competitive December schedule to a relatively less stressful October. It also shows that there is not enough confidence in the film internally.

At the end of the pie, Ryan said goodbye to the organizers, and on the way out of the banquet hall, he also met the two leading actors in "Alexander the Great".

"I've been looking forward to working with Disney."

Angelina? Julie holding her new love party? Kilmer, said to Ryan, "Ryan, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. ”

"You're welcome." Ryan nodded at her, "We still have a lot of opportunities to work together in the future." ”

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is still in preparation, and it is not far from starting. Maybe something interesting will happen, Fang? Kimo and Brad? Pete's female companions will be replaced, right?

Despite the impact on Angelina? Julie's perception is not very good, but as long as she can create value for herself, Ryan doesn't mind Disney working with her.

And the party? Kimmer. The former Batman was once amazed for Tony? Stark's first choice, and later, with Ryan's intervention, was replaced by Robert Jr.? Downey.

After just a few words, Ryan took Charlize and left the banquet hall. Take the elevator back to the private room on the top floor of the hotel.

"I'm a little tired."

Charlize kicked off his heels and sat down on the couch as Ryan hung his coat on a hanger. Asked, "Honey, would you like something to drink?" ”

"No need." Charlize shook her head, lazy like a Persian cat, she stretched out her arms to Ryan, "Can you take me back to my room to rest?" ”

"Willing to help"

Striding over, Ryan picked up the beautiful diamond, entered the bedroom, and placed her on the soft goose down quilt, "I'll go take a shower first......

"Don't ......," Charlize interrupted, wrapping his arms around his waist, "Lie here with me, okay?" ”

"Of course."

Ryan kicked off his shoes and took Charlize, who was still wearing a red evening dress, into his arms, "Okay, I'll take a shower when you fall asleep." ”

"Ryan......" Charlize suddenly looked up at him, biting his lip lightly and stopping, Ryan couldn't help but kiss her smooth white forehead, and asked, "What's the matter?" Just say yes, Charlie. ”

"I want to shift my focus to fashion in the future." Charlize seemed to have made up her mind.

"You know, Charlie." Ryan cupped her face and said seriously, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”

"Really?" Charlize rolled over and rode on his lap, crossed his hips to find the right position, and said in a joking tone while squeezing slowly, "What if I want to leave you?" ”

Ryan knew that this was just a joke, and deliberately lowered his face, "I will tie you up and torture you with the most cruel punishment!" ”

"Oh, what punishment?" Charlize's hand reached under the red evening dress, and the smile on his face gradually turned into excitement, "Honey, hurry up and sue me, how are you going to torture me......"

At such a moment, no words can be more direct and powerful than actions, Ryan rolled over and pressed her underneath, and in just a few pulls, a luxurious Dior evening dress became a rag on the carpet, and Charlize cried out excitedly to meet the long-awaited punishment.

In the days that followed, Ryan accompanied Charlize to the catwalks of other brands and some well-known designers, and then returned to Los Angeles, while South African diamonds stayed in New York to continue her fashion career with the help of Ryan's commercial team that had been specially assembled for her.

In their past lives and in this life, they are all wonderful women, and Ryan has never had the idea of making them his vassals, and he has always supported the career they want to develop, and even Nicole has long been one of the richest women in the United States.

Nicole is different from Charlize, she likes the glamorous luxury life of Hollywood more, and while continuing to star in movies, she has gradually transformed into the direction of making people, and has also invested in several movies in recent years, but unfortunately her vision can only be said to be average, although she didn't lose much money, but basically didn't make any money.

Her latest investment is "Paddington Bear" with Miramax, which has completed most of the post-production, and the only work that is still in progress is to commission Pixar Studios to deal with the bear's hair problems, and now throughout Hollywood, Pixar has an absolute advantage in this regard.

Some time ago, I don't know if it was luck, or Nicole's character that she had been saving for a long time finally broke out, she actually fell in love with the graphic novel "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and personally came forward to persuade Flac, the original author who claimed that he didn't want to visualize the work? Miller got the film adaptation rights for this work.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this qiē is just a matter of money.

It's like in a previous life, a certain director borrowed so many of his ideas and made a dark version of Batman, Frank? Miller didn't stand up and say more, but sang the praises of the movie, wasn't Warner paying enough?

In comics, Frank? Miller is a true genius, having worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, working on works such as Spider-Man, Daredevil and Black Widow, Wolverine, Superman and Batman, as well as independently creating titles such as Sin City and The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.

"Dear ......"

Sitting under a palm tree in the garden, Ryan flipped through the graphic novel and asked Nicole curiously, "How did you like this work?" ”

"When I went to see Harvey some time ago."

Nicole placed a cup of black tea on the table in front of Ryan, "I heard him say that Miramax was making Sin City, so I specifically asked Frank?" Miller looked at the work and decided that the graphic novel was not bad, so he bought the rights to the film. ”

"Have you figured out how to make zuò?" Ryan put down the comic and said very seriously.

This film is a film with a strong personal style, and if it were shot in a normal way, in today's environment where epic films have been given a cold reception one after another, the possibility of failure far outweighs success.

"Try to restore the style of the original work." Nicole was clearly well thought out, "like Sin City, which was being made." ”

"I've thought about it too......" Nicole held the black tea, her brows tightly twisted together, "Harvey said Frank? Miller would be the director of one of the Sin City stories, and I thought he would direct the film himself, if I could. ”

The original author is certainly the person who knows his work best, but a genius cartoonist is not necessarily a great director, Ryan thought for a moment, "Honey, if you don't mind, I can recommend a director for you." ”

"Please." Nicole took a sip of black tea and said with a smile, "If it's suitable, I'll pay you a hundred dollars as a referral payment." ”

"Have you seen last year's remake of Dawn of the Living Dead?" Ryan can remember the director, not only the relationship with this film with a strong personal style, but also the other party who later became the director of the Justice League series, "The director of the film is called Zack? Schneider, a newcomer, but his handling of color is excellent. ”

"Okay." Nicole put away her joking tone and nodded seriously, "Although I haven't seen the movie, the person you recommend must have something unique in mind, and I will let people contact him as much as possible." (To be continued......)
