Chapter 41: Pizza Advertising
At the age of eleven, whether it is unprecedented to receive two Oscar nominations, Ryan does not know and does not care, but he knows that his value has risen for a certain time.
Take advantage of the time he's resting, Pie? Kingsley quickly negotiated an advertising contract, and Pizza Hut's pizza ad could get $500,000 for just two commercials, which was a good deal for Ryan, after all, it didn't take long.
Originally, Espree wanted to ask him to endorse children's clothing, but Ryan's spare time was either given to music, or spent on scripts and creation, and did not have so much time to stand on the platform for merchants.
In order to shoot the ad on the weekend, Ryan sat in Kingsley's car and was rummaging through a stack of documents that had been interviewed by the agent's wife.
"Ryan, you want one person to be your driver, bodyguard, and assistant at the same time, it's unrealistic!" Kim Sili clearly had a headache.
"Isn't there anyone who does double pay?" Ryan scratched his head, "Alright then, get a driver--bodyguard first, assistant later, I'm really fed up with those guys." β
Since the film school announced the list of nominees, Ryan has enjoyed the treatment of a superstar, reporters and paparazzi chased and intercepted him at home and school, and there was a lot of 'if you can't prove that you are not a Martian' will not let him go, and even many media have turned over his past, from his life to personality analysis one by one, and there is a long serial in the newspaper "How a genius or a monster is made".
What's more, he also has a beautiful female celebrity sister who doesn't talk like a woman, they stay in one place, but they can catch two fish in one net, which is very cost-effective.
The commercial was filmed in the studio of Universal Studios, and he also had a little girl partner during the shooting, and when he saw the little girl introduced by the director, Ryan grinned and said that it was too coincidental.
The little girl's face was dotted with freckles and had fluffy brown-red curls, which was none other than Lindsay Lohan, whom he had met once.
"The guy who can only NG!"
Ryan beckoned to her, but she didn't expect the response to be such a sentence.
"Hello, Mr. Jenkins, I'm Lindsay's father, Michael? Rohan. A middle-aged man walked over, and despite the strong smell of cologne, Ryan still smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
"Hello, Mr. Rohan." For this superb, he didn't want to have anything to do with it, just said hello, sat down and read the script.
The ads are very simple, far less complicated than the Pizza Hut commercials of later generations, and what Ryan wants to show is the big smile in Home Alone, which is too simple for him, oh...... And then there's eating pizza.
It's a pity that he has no interest in these foreign fast foods, whether in his past life or in this life, even if his stomach has long adapted to the Western diet, he still can't taste the taste of pizza, and as a result, there was a problem in the first test shooting.
The seafood pizza that was obviously specially processed, the moment it was eaten, Ryan frowned, and the director could only shout to stop.
"Pat, water." Ryan quickly spit out the weird-tasting food, took the water cup handed by Kinsley, and rinsed his mouth twice in a row, only then did he feel better.
"What's wrong, Ryan?" Send? Kinsley asked.
"I've never eaten anything so unpalatable, and even the food in the orphanage is better than this." Looking at the people around him, Ryan said in a low voice.
"Humph! Sure enough, it's a guy who can only NG. The little girl sitting across the table let out a disdainful snort.
Ryan glared at her fiercely, but he couldn't say anything, after all, it was ungraceful to deal with a little girl who was only five years old.
Jin Sili couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only comfort a few words, but fortunately, Ryan was not a person who didn't know the severity, pointed to the newly replaced piece of pizza, and said, "I haven't eaten this kind of thing before, I didn't expect the taste to be so bad, but now that I'm mentally prepared, it's definitely okay." β
The next shoot is like Ryan said, he rarely has any more problems, a few shots at once, and the little girl Lindsay is obviously a veteran of shooting commercials, although NG a few times, she is not like ordinary children in all kinds of situations.
It's just that the crew ran into trouble again when they had lunch at noon, since it was an advertisement shot for Pizza Hut, the lunch can be imagined, looking at the boxes of pizza, Ryan only felt unappetizing, no appetite, this is simply bad food except for KFC and McDonald's, which can't be worse than bad food.
Fortunately, Universal Studios not only has a studio area, but also a huge play area, Ryan simply said hello to the crew, and walked towards the restaurant in the play area with Kinsley, but just walked to the door of the studio, and was blocked by the little girl again.
"The guy who only NG." The little girl put her hands behind her back and held her head high, "Remember?" You owe me a banana boat! β
"Banana boat?" Ryan had forgotten about the past.
"Last time, when I was filming a commercial, you kept NG ......" Lindsay's mouth was very neat, and she told her about the events of that day, Ryan had no choice but to say, "Okay, as long as your father agrees, I'll take you to eat banana boats." β
The little girl said a few words to her father, Michael? Luo Han nodded quickly, and when he came over, he wanted to go with him, but was pushed away by Ryan without a trace.
Come on! This kind of person can even curse his daughter for money, and Ryan has no doubt that as long as he goes with him, he will sell what he says and does to the tabloids when he turns around.
Speaking of which, Lindsay is just a little too lively and a little clever to see how much of a character flaw she has, but Ryan knows what she will become when she grows up, and that is more than Paris? Hilton and Britney? Spears' Hollywood No. 1 Topic Queen, drug addiction, alcoholism, and self-depravity.
Even the depraved girl Drew who is now being hyped by the media? Barrymore, too, can't compare to her when she grew up.
Of course, she will become what she will be later, maybe there is a reason for the big dye vat of Hollywood, but more because of her family, not to mention his superb father, alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, are all trivial, Zuihou finally played herself in prison, and her mother is indeed a little better than her father, but it is only a little.
Lindsay? Lohan sacrificed her childhood, began shooting commercials at the age of three, and her income was almost the income of the family, and throughout her childhood and adolescence she received not warmth and care from the family, but violence, drugs......
It is said that saving a young woman who has lost her footing is a lot of fun, but Ryan understands that unless she is given two responsible guardians, the fall is still inevitable.
After all, not every child is Natalie? Portman and Kirsten? Dunst, can understand what he wants in praise and pursuit, and continue to work hard for it, and in the same way, not every child is Drew? Barrymore, with a superstar director as his godfather and Sophia Loren as his godmother, can get back on his feet when he is addicted to drugs and degenerates to a low point.
In fact, whether Lindsay or other child stars in Hollywood, what they need most is a professional agent who can plan and guide their future.
However, how many brokers will give up their immediate interests and pursue things that may not be available in the future?
The entertainment industry has developed to the present, and the importance of a professional agent and behind-the-scenes team is self-evident. Cruise, if not pie? In his previous life, after Cruise terminated the contract with Kingsley in 2004, his career quickly fell to a low point, and finally fell to the point where he could only eat the old book of "Mission Impossible", and then think about the successful operation of Yao's team behind Yao, which shows the importance of a professional agent team.
"Okay, Ryan? Jenkins, for your sake of inviting me to eat the banana boat, I won't laugh at you anymore. Sitting across from Ryan, Lindsay was stuffing ice cream into her mouth, very generously erasing the grudge between the two.
"And am I going to say xiexie?" Ryan was dealing with ten ripe steaks, which, though a little old, were more appetizing than bloodshot.
"Xiexie doesn't have to." The little girl thought for a moment, "If you invite me to eat another banana boat, maybe I will praise you for your superb acting skills in the future." β
"Don't even think about it, Lindsay." Even though it's not cold in Los Angeles, it's February, "If You Eat a Bad Stomach ......"
Ryan froze, he almost blurted out 'Your dad is going to be on my head', and what are you doing talking to a still naΓ―ve girl?
"It's so stingy, it's just a two-passenger banana boat!" The little girl snorted heavily.
However, although this girl is young, she is a little smart, and she is not a bad person, so she lowered her head and concentrated on dealing with ice cream.
The two commercials were shot in just two days, and Ryan also watched the unprocessed dailies, and he still retains a bit of innocence and cuteness, but as he gets older, it won't take long for a cute and purely funny movie like Home Alone to insulate him.
In a few years, he will enter the most embarrassing period of child stars, when he is too young to play adult roles, and he is too old to play child roles, that is, this period of time will often become a turning point in the fate of Hollywood child stars.
Can transformation success be like Judy? Foster soared like that, and the transformation failed...... Well, that's not a big deal for Ryan.
Before returning to the crew of "Terminator 2", he still has to attend a premiere, since he provided the script, Nicole is the heroine again, Harvey? Weinstein also sent an invitation, but now there is no shooting assignment, so it is a bit unreasonable not to participate.
After all, there are contacts and contacts, and contacts are slowly accumulated.
