Since buying Blue Sky Studios, except for seeing George Lucas, Ryan has spent the rest of the time in the crew of "Saw 2", as if he had forgotten the Blue Sky Studios he had just bought.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to Blue Sky Studio, but Ryan himself knows that he doesn't understand the production technology of animated feature films at all, let alone a 3D animated feature film, and can only leave these things to professionals.

Generally speaking, animated feature films are almost always for audiences of all ages, or are biased towards underage children.

Ryan really doesn't understand this aspect, he hasn't seen a few cartoons in his previous life, unless it's a havoc in the Heavenly Palace, a gourd baby, and the like.

As for the animated feature films produced by Blue Sky Studio, he knows the name at most and has never seen it.

In this way, it is better to focus on Saw 2.

In reality, Ryan doesn't have a lot of work as a producer, and since Sophia continues to serve as an executive producer, a lot of things are in her hands.

But compared to "Saw 1", Sophia's work is obviously much easier, and the preparation of the crew is all in charge of Twentieth Century Fox, which is fast and scary.

During this period, she hardly encountered any problems except for contact with the head of Twentieth Century Fox and some disagreements on the selection of actors.

Even Grigory Hobritt, the director of the crew, rarely asks about Sophia's work unless necessary.

Grigory Hobright is very clear about his status, Ryan is the main investor of the film, and he is also a producer and screenwriter, and in many things, he can only shoot according to Ryan's wishes.

Sophia is acting as Ryan's spokesperson a lot of the time, so he doesn't dare to say anything.

What's more, no one in the crew knows that Sophia's father is the famous director Coppola.

To put it bluntly, Gregory Hobright's directorial identity is somewhat unrealistic, or to be precise, Ryan's filming work.

Everything related to the filming method and plot of the film was set by Ryan himself, and he could only shoot in this framework.

Scenes like this are not surprising in Hollywood, where many crews are in the hands of producers, not film directors.

In this regard, Twentieth Century Fox, instead of hiding anything, wished that Ryan would shoot it himself.

As for Gregory Hobritt's idea, no one cares.

For Twentieth Century Fox, the core of the "Saw" series will always be Ryan, not Gregory Hoblit, or another director.

As time passed, the filming progress of "Saw 2" was very fast, and after more than a week, most of the footage had been filmed, and it is expected that the filming will be announced in another week or so.

Start the next part of the editing video, from a bunch of shots, and finally cut out more than 100 minutes of content.

In terms of editing rights, Ryan had a fierce conflict with Twentieth Century Fox.

In the face of the person in charge of Twentieth Century Fox, he even made it clear that he could no longer care about the producer's remuneration, and he could also make concessions in the selection of actors, and the only thing that could not be compromised was the editing right.

Ryan's producer fee is not very much, or it does not fit his current status.

But then again, the production cost of "Saw 2" is only $4 million, which seems to be more than three times higher than the production cost of "Saw 1".

But Ryan asked for more plasma, props, and the increase in the actor's salary, which is really not a lot in general.

He can't just open his mouth and offer a million-dollar producer's fee!

Divide into!

It is even more unlikely, even if many gold medal producers in Hollywood have difficulty getting a share of the box office of the rest of the films except for the share stipulated by the producers league.

So Ryan simply asked for a small producer's fee only symbolically.

After some negotiations, Twentieth Century Fox had no choice but to give in to him the final editing of the film, and only retained the right to suggest.

Sofia Coppola, on the other hand, received a handsome executive producer's salary this time.

It seems that Ryan has suffered a little, but in fact, he doesn't feel anything, anyway, the film's investment in Twentieth Century Fox only accounts for one-third, and he is the main investor.

Just after filming a scene, Sophia walked up with a cup of hot coffee, "Do you have time in the afternoon?"

"A small fair requires you to go there, and Spielberg invited it. ”

"Exhibitions?"

"Something. ”

Ryan suddenly thought of Spielberg's background, and his heart moved slightly, "Could it be related to the ** aspect!"

The whole Hollywood, or most of the people in the world, know that Spielberg is a staunch anti-**, and "Schindler's List", which was released last year, directly set ** on the shame column.

"That's right, it was the exhibition about the **persecution of Jews during World War II. ”

"Spielberg or other Jews hold similar exhibitions almost every year, inviting some public figures, but you can rest assured that there will be no special media interviews. ”

After speaking, Sophia subconsciously glanced at a certain place in the crew and continued: "You can take your little lover with you, it should be a date." ”

Regarding Ryan and Monica Bellucci, almost the entire crew knows it.

In Hollywood, it is very common for directors and actresses to get together.

Not to mention an unmarried man and woman, or even more shocking messing, it is not news to Hollywood.

"It seems that I want to remind you that it doesn't hurt to find a sexual partner, but the other half, then you'd better stay away from Hollywood actresses, or you'll regret it in the future. ”

Ryan was speechless, and he couldn't wait to refute it, but when he thought that Sophia hadn't met Spike Jones yet, and couldn't talk about marriage or ex-husband, he could only hold back.

In her previous life, Sophia's dating partners seemed to be Hollywood practitioners.

At noon, after a brief lunch, Ryan took Monica Bellucci and drove away from the filming set to the exhibition in North Hollywood.

Facing the photos of the murder of Jews on the exhibition, Monica couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, deeply shocked.

She is an Italian, and in her intuitive understanding, she is not very clear about the crime of **, and she can't believe the picture in front of her, such as the unburned corpses in the crematorium, and the piles of dead bodies in the gas chamber.

On the contrary, Ryan was a member of the other side of the Pacific Ocean in his previous life, and he didn't know how many crimes left by the Japanese army back then, compared to these photos in front of him.

"The plight of the Jews is indeed worthy of sympathy, but the Jews are also a forgetful people. Ryan's tone was very flat, as if he didn't see the pictures in front of him.

Just as Monica Bellucci looked confused, an angry voice suddenly sounded behind the two.

"Young man, you must give me an explanation today and apologize for what you just said. ”

An old man in his sixties and seventies looked at Ryan coldly, if he was ten years younger, he would have rushed forward long ago.

Jewish!

Or a Jew!

Monica Bellucci immediately had a bad premonition, and secretly pulled Ryan to show that he had better apologize immediately, don't get into trouble, and know that no one dares to underestimate the influence of Jews in Hollywood.

Ryan nodded, telling Monica not to worry, and then turned to the old man who suddenly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think there was anything wrong with what I said just now, the Jews are originally a forgetful people. ”

"As far as I know, during World War II, an Austrian consul general opened his doors to thousands of Jews who were turned away from more than 50 countries, and he was even kicked out of the consulate without giving in. ”

However, such a heroic figure seems to have been forgotten by the Jews, who only remember Schindler and Schindler's list, but do not know that during World War II, there was another Chinese who had rescued a large number of Jews, far more than Schindler's list. ”

Ryan's tone was unceremonious, and he was not even afraid of being known by the Jews, because what he said was the truth, and even for "Schindler's List", which was released last year, it was difficult to let go, and these Jews owed He Fengshan an apology.

He Fengshan is a very common name, but he saved thousands of Jews during World War II, but only a few people know it now.

In his previous life, until September 28, 1997, He Fengshan died of illness in San Francisco, USA, and when his daughter He Manli was packing her luggage, she accidentally found He Fengshan's diary when she issued visas to Jews.

He Fengshan's deeds back then were only announced to the public.

For a moment, Frank Pearson's eyes softened, he looked at Ryan deeply, and said, "I will personally investigate this matter, and if it is true, then I will publicize his deeds to all Jews, and personally apologize to you." ”

"If it were just a lie, I would let you know how powerful it is to offend an old Jew. ”

"No one can slander the Jewish race. ”

"I hope so. Ryan shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't care about it, "His name is He Fengshan, a Chinese man who should live in Los Angeles now, and you can go investigate or look up some historical materials." ”

"I will. With that, Frank Pearson turned away without hesitation.

Seeing this, Monica Bellucci finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now she was really afraid that Ryan and the old man would rush out, which might provoke the hostility of the entire Jewish circle.

"Listen to me, don't do this next time, don't offend any old Jew. ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm telling the truth. Ryan told her not to worry.

Unless history changes, he is just telling a fact.
