Chapter 105 With the French

After saying hello to Spielberg and calling Natalie again, the group returned to the hotel and went directly to the living room of Ryan's suite.

Under Nicole's introduction, the two sides got to know each other. The three people who came with her were the French Jean Reno and Luc Besson, as well as his assistant.

You sit down, I have something to talk to Ryan about.

After the waiter brought coffee and hot tea, Nicole directly pulled Ryan into the bedroom, but the original bright smile disappeared without a trace, and the beautiful face had a tendency to turn into an iceberg.

What happened, Nicole?

Closing the bedroom door, seeing the Australian girl turn cloudy and sunny, he felt a little drum in his heart.

Ryan, what are you thinking? Why did you write such a script? God, what did you think when a twelve-year-old girl fell in love with a middle-aged killer? Nicole pressed him on the small sofa, Staring at him condescendingly.

I... She added without waiting for him to explain, Or is it that you have entered a period of rebelliousness and are full of crazy thoughts? Do you know that such works will cause huge controversy.

The box office can only be achieved if there is a dispute. Ryan muttered in a low voice, and when he noticed the knife-like eyes shot, he quickly shut his mouth obediently.

Box office? Nat is right at all, at a young age, you are all in one... Nicole has never studied Chinese, and obviously can't remember how to say the smell of copper, Also, this is what you do for Nat. A specially prepared script? That would put a lot of pressure on her.

Okay, Nicole, arguments and pressure will only be against me. Besides, it's just a fairy tale about killers. Ryan couldn't understand, he made some changes to the plot, Mrs. Shelly read it. There was no objection afterward, why did Nicole make such a big fire.

Fairy tale? Nicole's eyes widened, The little girl sleeps with the killer, the middle-aged man bathes the girl, God! Ryan, did you peek at Lolita...

Wait! Ryan's eyes widened, I didn't write such a plot...

These are obviously plots from previous life movies, and even the bathing plot was canceled due to Natalie's strong opposition, but I have eliminated these too sensitive things, why...

Nicole moved quickly, took the script out of the handbag, Ryan quickly flipped through it, and the more he looked, the darker his face became.

The script is not a copy that he mailed, but a machine-typed version. There are many plots added to it. Even the relationship between the girl and the killer that he specially changed has been changed back. The most excessive thing is that there is also a section of Leon for Ma. Tilda taking a shower.

Heck! Ryan cursed, no need to ask, he also knew that it must be Luc Besson who changed the content of the script without authorization.

Not to mention the issue of whether or not infringement is involved, as long as he shakes his head, none of these plots can be realized.

What are these French people thinking? Could it be dead without those shots in the movie? Does he understand that if such a film is filmed, it will likely be set as NC-17 if it is released in North America, which will make the person who plays Matilda and his author face a huge storm.

I didn't write this... Ryan explained it to Nicole briefly and quickly, and the Australian girl's face looked much better.

It's just that when the two walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, the way she looked at Luc Besson changed.

Speaking of which, the years of living together in this world,

Ryan and Nicole Kidman influenced each other, and their personalities and previous lives have changed a lot.

Sitting around on the sofa, the atmosphere among the crowd was a little awkward. After taking a sip of coffee, Luc Besson turned his attention to the boy opposite.

He had heard of him, he had watched both The Sixth Sense and Terminator 2, and was impressed by his performances in them, especially the peculiar structure of The Sixth Sense, which was more to his taste.

Back then, when he learned that the script was written by a boy, he was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much, there were too many geniuses from Jewish descent.

Besides, since The Sixth Sense, the other party, like the vast majority of film practitioners in Hollywood, has focused on business, whether it is Home Alone, or later Terminator 2 and Bodyguard ”, etc., are all completely commercial productions.

Unlike most directors on the European continent, Luc Besson knows that with the Hollywood business model, the impact on the European film market will become greater and greater, and it will take a few years to completely capture the European market.

What about your European counterparts? Just keep criticizing Hollywood for nothing but business and self-righteousness, but does it work?

Besides, who is the real self-righteous person? I'm afraid it's those who shoot works that talk about themselves regardless of the audience's feelings.

He is a very ambitious and courageous person. Since Hollywood movies can flourish in the European market, why can't his works enter the North American market, and why can't he enter Hollywood?

If he wants to open the American market, he needs a work that not only suits his own taste, but also suits the American concept. Since the filming of Atlantis, he has been thinking about it, but he has not been able to find a suitable idea. .

Until some time ago, his ** actor and friend Jean Reno brought the script Leon the Killer, which was mixed with several setting drafts. It can be seen that Leon used the image of Jean, that little girl...

He looked at Natalie sitting next to Ryan, is this Matilda? He's too young and too thin, and he doesn't even have a small bag on his chest. It's completely an airport.

Luc Besson directly rejected Natalie's image. If Ryan knew what he was thinking just now, he would definitely wash his face with hot tea.

Ryan sat on the side quietly. As for the negotiation, it was better to leave it to the professional Jinsili. He just kept looking at the script that was printed on the computer.

After a long time, Nicole tugged at him, Ryan smiled apologetically to the opposite side, and said, Mr. Besson, I can give you the operation of Killer Leon, and I can also help you with the American system. The film parties match up.”

After all, with the experience of the previous life, Ryan knew that this guy was not popular with European filmmakers, and he always wanted to go to Hollywood to develop.

Luc Besson made a gesture of please say. In addition to being a film director, he was also a businessman. He would not be stupid enough to think that the other party was really an innocent boy.

At that time, there were several setting drafts that were mailed along with the script. I wonder if you have seen it. Ryan asked.

Of course, I can see that Leon is modeled on the image of Jean.

Yes, after I watched Nikita, I was deeply impressed by Mr. Reno. Ryan unconsciously looked at Jean Reno's big nose, and the other party smiled kindly.

He returned the same bright smile, looked at Natalie this time and said, Two aspects, one is that this script was written for my best friend, and Matilda's idea came from her, and the other is that this script was written for my best friend. …”

Ryan put the machine version of the script on the coffee table, Remove those plots added in it!

Luc Besson's face is very ugly. The changes and additions in the script come from him. Being asked by a boy so much younger than him in public will naturally not be happy in his heart. If this script is not really attractive , the other party is almost a box office guarantee in North America, and he really wants to leave directly.

As if he knew what the other party was thinking, Ryan continued, Mr. Besson, if I'm not mistaken, you want to use this movie to open up the American market, right?

That's right. It's no secret, no one in the European film circle knows that he wants to enter Hollywood.

I don't know how you view the American audience. Compared with the current society in the United States, this subject is a bit sensitive. It may be placed in Europe. This kind of Lolita-style love will not arouse the audience's disgust, but in North America, it is very sensitive. It’s different. The United States is indeed very open, but it is limited to a few coastal states. If the text of the script is turned into a picture, it will cause huge criticism. In case the film is rated NC-17 by MPAA after the production is completed, then It's over.

The most moving part of this story is the feelings, but there are many ways to express feelings, and sometimes the obscure and hazy feelings can move people's hearts more.

Luc Besson showed a thoughtful expression. He was not someone who didn't know how to work around it, but he gave up on those plots, really...

Don't forget, a girl in her early ten years will be involved in the filming! In front of Natalie, Ryan had some words to say, and if Luc Besson really insisted on doing this, he would withdraw the script All right.

Without him, the film would not necessarily fail. There are many film companies in Hollywood waiting to invest in the script he created. His past achievements have given him a lot of confidence.

Of course, that's only the last option, as long as possible, keeping the same team is the first choice.

How to choose between ideas and interests? For a director who runs a film company, it's not difficult.

What's more, although the other party has some connections in Hollywood, with Ryan Jenkins and their own people, it will definitely be a lot more convenient.

Okay. Luc Besson chose the market.

However, the Frenchman's little personality then emerged, I hope to hold an audition in New York for the role of Matilda.

This time, Ryan's face turned ugly. If it wasn't for his friend, why would he waste so much saliva with him? If Natalie couldn't play Matilda, he would rather let the movie disappear forever.

Luc Besson is obviously not a vegetarian who grew up, his counterattack is sharp, I just talked with Miss Natalie a few words, I know she has a lot of acting experience, I think Miss Natalie will not Mind auditioning and getting the role on your own, not because of Ryan Jenkins' good friend.

This is a very obvious run and aggression, but Natalie is competitive and has her own pride. Just as Ryan was about to say something, she pulled her arm hard and almost fell on the sofa.

Ryan... Natalie looked over, Ryan opened his mouth, and finally closed it.

I agree to audition. Natalie showed her chin.

Forget it, Ryan shrugged, just to maintain Natalie's self-esteem, with her acting skills, it's easy to get this role, isn't it?

Besides, he'll find someone of his own to be the production manager.
