Chapter 577: Meaningful Movement
"Hey Charlie, is your scene done?"
Dialing Charlize's phone phone, Ryan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the suite and looked at the London Eye, which had only appeared for a few years, "Are you still in the Philippines?" ”
Charlize's voice came from the earpiece, "Hmm...... I'm still in Manila, and my role is done? Honey, are you in London? Then I'll let the plane fly directly to London. ”
"Don't come here just yet."
As soon as he finished saying this, Charlize asked, "Why?" ”
"I'm going to China with the crew soon."
Switching the phone to another hand, Ryan thought for a moment and continued, "Well, Charlie, you let the business jet fly directly to Hong Kong or Taipei, and then transfer to Guilin, China, and we'll meet at the hotel we booked." ”
He gave a general location and the name of the hotel.
"That'...... All right. Charlize answered, and asked, "Don't you want to premiere "The Lord of the Rings" in China?" It just so happens that I'm going on vacation, how about going with you? ”
"No problem."
Ryan answered, hearing footsteps coming from behind, and when he looked back, John gestured to this side, he nodded, and said to the phone, "It's time for me to leave here, and I'll get in touch later." ”
"Well, goodbye, dear."
Hearing the beep of disconnection from the phone, Ryan left the study, and his luggage had already been packed.
Descending to the lobby on the first floor, met George? Lucas and others, the group rushed to the airport by car, most of the people would take Ryan's private jet, and the equipment had already been checked in by air.
It involves a lot of electronic products, and there are already special personnel who have gone over in advance to handle the relevant procedures.
And the FBI agent team that has been following Ryan in the past few months has also withdrawn to the United States, he is going to shoot movies and negotiate business, if he brings such a team. In the future, he will definitely be blacklisted, and maybe he will be deported.
It has been almost half a year since Al-Qaeda issued the threat, and Ryan has not encountered any dangerous situation at all, and as a public figure in Hollywood, he does not have to think about security and terrorists at all, not to mention that he will not stupidly run to the west.
"Twentieth Century Fox is also negotiating with China's film industry."
After the plane took off, Ryan and a few others sat in the front cabin and talked about opening up the Chinese market. Lucas also talked about the movie being filmed. "If nothing else, "Revenge of the Sith" will premiere at the same time."
"When are you going to release it?"
After the flight attendant poured coffee, Ryan said to George? Lucas and Ivan? McGregor made a gesture of please, "Last year's Blue Mountains." ”
"It tastes good." George? Lucas took a sip and continued the topic, "It's 2005 at the earliest, and there are too many special effects shots that need to be used in this movie. ”
"That's true." Ryan nodded in agreement.
At this time in his previous life, he had entered the theater and became a projectionist. For the subsequent Hollywood films released in China, there are naturally some memories.
"Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" was released at the same time in China and the United States at that time, and because of the time difference, China was even earlier than the United States. The film also set a box office record for its opening day in China at the time.
Ryan has always had a detailed investigation into the Chinese film market in the present world, perhaps because he began to intervene in the relationship in the early nineties, especially the huge impact brought by "Jurassic Park", "True Lies" and "Titanic". It seems that there are more screens than in the vague impression of the previous life, and the market is a little larger.
However, at a time when he and other major Hollywood companies were still working on simultaneous releases on both sides of the Pacific. As early as last year, a Hollywood film called "The Woman in the Courtyard" had already done this.
The other party has an innate advantage - a producer from China, all the exterior scenes are from Suzhou gardens and Zhouzhuang water features, and tells a story about Chinese - these Walt Disney certainly can't do it for the time being, after all, the North American market is still the mainstream now.
A group of Chinese actors were used to shoot stories that had nothing to do with Americans, and the film would basically hit the streets.
Even "Hero", which is being released in North America, seems to have brought the climax of Chinese martial arts films, and movie posters even appeared on the cover of "Time Magazine", but more than 70% of the theaters released are in or close to Chinese and Asian communities.
Only in this way can sufficient attendance and box office figures be guaranteed.
Because of the government's proper handling, SARS ended early, and the World Health Organization has been canceling the SARS alert in China for a while.
"The Lord of the Rings 1" got a box office of 72.5 million yuan here, which was the second place in the box office of imported films second only to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that year, and "The Lord of the Rings 2" landed in theaters here last year, and did not hit SARS as unlucky as in the previous life, and became the box office champion of China's imported films last year with 79.9 million.
The first two parts of the series have already shown great appeal and influence here, and Ryan believes that he will definitely create a new peak of Zào introduction films by carrying the chapter of the end, although it will certainly not be able to break the record of "Titanic", but it is thought that it can further attract the audience's attention to Hollywood films, so as to carve up more market share.
He came to China for business, and for the fantastic task of saving the film industry and supporting Hollywood, the filmmakers here are more suitable than him.
Besides, can a country's film industry be completely internationalized if it does not have a dominant or universally recognized culture in the world?
After arriving in Guilin, on the way from the airport to the booked hotel, Ryan also made a special observation, the cars were crowded with people, and the several squares passed by were also crowded, and the qiē looked normal, and the disease that was suppressed before it formed enough power did not seem to have too much impact.
This also reassured Ryan.
I don't know if the news was leaked in advance, or if it was specially arranged by the crew, when I came to the booked hotel, a large number of reporters gathered here, and many fans holding Star Wars posters could be seen among them.
After signing a few names and waving to them, Ryan walked into the hotel, escorted by several bodyguards.
On the booth next to the lobby, a blonde stood up, and after a few steps, she walked over, and she occupied the opposite side of him.
"Are you happy to see me, darling?" Charlize was stuck in his sunglasses and looked at this side with his hands on his chest.
"You're so fast." Ryan stepped forward and hugged her hard, "When did you arrive?" ”
"It's been a few hours." Charlize kissed him without hesitation, "After getting off the plane, I came directly to the hotel you booked." ”
"Let's go back to our room." Ryan had already noticed some people in the hotel looking over, pulling up Charlize and walking towards the elevator, while introducing some of the crew to her.
The crew chartered two floors in this hotel, as if they were given some instructions, and the hotel also designated fixed service personnel for these two floors, and in the envious eyes of some people in the crew, Ryan pulled Charlize into his room.
"On the way to the hotel."
Charlize put their luggage away, sat down next to Ryan and said, "Those two taxi drivers actually know me and ask me for autographs." ”
"Honey, don't forget that you are an Oscar-winning actress." Ryan shook his head, opinions like Charlize are too normal among Hollywood stars, "Did you give it?" ”
"Nope." Charlize took off his heels and curled up on the couch with his legs, "I don't take my photos with me, I just sign them." ”
"Do you need jet lag?" She suddenly leaned over and blew, her stockinged feet shaking in front of Ryan's eyes.
"It's okay now." Ryan stretched and yawned again, "On the way here, I talked to George and Ivan, and the rest of the time I was pretty much sleeping. ”
After speaking, those sky-blue eyes suddenly became sharp, and he grabbed the slender calf that was swinging in front of him like lightning, and touched it upwards along the leggings.
"I want to do something meaningful more than sleep." Ryan slapped hard in the upright place, making a crisp sound.
"Really?" Charlize broke free of his grip and pressed one foot against Ryan's lower abdomen at some point, "Wow, honey......"
"You can't escape, Charlie!"
Ryan grabbed Charlize's two long legs and stood up, put them on his shoulders, pressed the beautiful diamond directly into the couch, his hands nimbly swiped from her hips to the front, and expertly pulled the belt on his pants and poked it down.
"I want the most violent, intense, hardest kind of ......" Charlize kissed Ryan as he frantically undressed him.
The two then rolled together onto the thick carpet, and Ryan flipped Charlize underneath and pressed against her body from behind.
Like all intimate lovers, the two tossed and turned, using all kinds of tricks, trying to make each other feel the greatest happiness.
After a qiē returned to calm, the two didn't bother to go out, and they wanted to have dinner and sit together affectionately, enjoying a rare sweet moment.
"I only have a handful of shots."
Snuggled up in a single couch, Ryan fed Charlize a special snack as he talked about the rest of the trip, "These shots will be shot first, and it will be over in about two to three days, and then we can get out of here." (To be continued......)
