Chapter 169: Regretful Box Office

Meticulously arranged plots, fun-filled journeys, just the right plot twist, ups and downs in character building, and always a happy ending. This is the typical Ryan Jenkins concept and script, and he's always ingenious. The perfect fusion of various elements, the implementation of almost strict standardized production with a scientific research attitude, he is simply the most precise and perfect instrument on the Hollywood assembly line, and can always be easily grasped. What the audience wants to see! From a commercial screenwriter's point of view, there is no one better than him.

--Kenneth Duran, Los Angeles Times

When we first saw the behemoth that had disappeared for tens of millions of years on the screen, the excitement was still beyond words. Prehistoric monsters like dinosaurs were once the overlords of the earth, but finally because of the earth's environment Change and extinction itself is a puzzle that fascinates countless people. So the moment when the lifelike Tyrannosaurus rex screamed in the sky on the screen, the hearts of people all over the world trembled. This shock is not only a movie What the film can bring is the throbbing that primitive life brings to us, transcending time and space and reaching the bottom of our hearts, allowing us to truly feel the greatness of life.”

To a certain extent, this movie has achieved the current extreme. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg teamed up to restore the world of Ryan Jenkins' whimsy. This film The film will definitely make a great mark in the history of film!

--Irving Graberman, Entertainment Weekly

This is the best of times, and it's the worst of times. With the rapid development of computer technology, technology has brought infinite hope to filmmakers, but on the other hand, with the gradual streamlining of Hollywood, movies are the most The core part - creativity - is showing more and more decline. Although Ryan Jenkins is still unable to escape the shackles of the Hollywood assembly line, he can always use the latest ideas to fit the stereotyped plot into it, constantly bringing surprises to people .

In Jurassic Park, you can see Hitchcock-esque plots everywhere, but he combines them perfectly with his own. Dedicating a thrilling story to us! Even if you remove the dinosaurs Surprise, the plot of the movie is still brilliant, and now Ryan should think about how to get rid of the limitations of the Hollywood model.

-- Time Richard? Chris

Please go on, Nat!

In the luxury suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Natalie is sitting at the dining table, reading movie reviews from the newspaper, while Ryan and Nicole are enjoying breakfast.

After the crew left Washington, the first stop came to New York, after a wild weekend of publicity. Are a little tired. Either Ryan or Nicole. Not only does he have a large number of fans, but he is also the focus of the media. After two days, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

A little late today,

Unexpectedly, Natalie asked George to pick her up early. Also brought a lot of newspapers.

I'm thirsty~ Natalie put down the newspaper, and Ryan had no choice but to fill a glass of milk and push it over, Okay, dear Nate, is this okay?

Ryan!

Nicole glared at him. In her mind, Natalie was a strict vegetarian, and this kind of non-fat milk should be a taboo food.

It's okay, Nicole. Natalie took the milk. He took a sip and didn't really care.

Looking at Natalie, Nicole looked at Ryan again, the beautiful eyebrows were twisted together, the two had a secret from her!

Nicole. Don't tell Mrs. Shelly, okay? Ryan leaned over and whispered in her ear.

What the hell are you two doing?

Even though it was a question with her eyes, Nicole believed that Ryan could definitely read it.

It's a secret! Ryan also winked.

Do you still want to listen? Natalie said suddenly, interrupting the two who were winking.

Of course, please continue, Nat.

When Ryan was writing, he obviously added feminist ideas to the film, and Dr. Ellie Settler was the spokesperson. Miss Nicole Kidman's character, there is a line that appropriately reflects this. , 'Dinosaurs eat men, women occupy the earth'. Strictly speaking, there was such a thought in the original Chinese. In Jurassic Park, humans played the role of God, killing the possibility of the existence of male dinosaurs and letting female dinosaurs dominate the whole island...

Stop~ what is this...

The corners of Ryan's mouth trembled. If Settler's lines had a bit of feminist flavor, then the meaning behind those who can be interpreted by others, how strange the thinking of the person who wrote this thing? ?

Nate, do you have a movie review for Raging Fire? Nicole asked after drinking the milk in front of her.

Forget it, Nicole, don't embarrass Nat, the film critics are about to call that movie a Tom Cruise show, what's there to hear.

Ryan is telling the truth. This popular action film, which highlights the personal charm of idols and is cool and handsome, has been bombarded by most film critics. Even if Sony Columbia has launched crisis public relations, it still cannot change this. situation.

Don't think how high-end and tasteful those well-known film critics are. Except for a few film critics standing at the top who can be relatively fair, others will also be affected by various factors, and fair remarks come to them Said it was just a cloud in the sky.

The matter is very simple, Sony Columbia is in PR, Ryan, Universal Pictures, Spielberg and others are also in PR. After all, Sony is a newcomer to the North American entertainment market, and Ryan is a group of Jewish people!

Where are we going today?

Packing up the papers, Natalie asked.

Nate, what do you think it would be for me, you, and Nicole to get together and walk around the streets of New York? Ryan shook his head, he didn't want to go out and be watched.

Although Natalie has been acting in stage plays since Killer Leon, her reputation has spread long ago, and she also has a large number of supporters, except for her uncle fans.

Okay then, I'll read a book.

There was a ding-dong knock on the door, and George entered the restaurant. Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Spielberg are here.

They're here? Has the first week's box office been counted?

Ryan and Nicole looked at each other, hurriedly packed up, and walked to the reception room with Natalie.

Hello. Stephen and Ms. Kennedy.

Natalie greeted the two very politely, the two nodded to her, and Spielberg said, Long time no see, Nat.

Ryan, there is good news.

The remaining people are already familiar acquaintances who can no longer be familiar with each other, and there are not so many politenesses. Katherine Kennedy blushed, Want to know?

Could it be that the box office broke 100 million in the first week?

Ryan felt that he could make these two so excited. It must have achieved an unprecedented number at the box office in its first week.

A little bit.

Spielberg was excited. A trace of regret appeared.

How much is that? Nicole asked.

$96.8 million! Katherine Kennedy seemed to be still a little unbelievable.

Oh. God!

Nicole and Natalie, two women, one big and one small, exclaimed together. This is indeed an unprecedented number!

Damn it!

Ryan is quite different. If he knew this, several of their investors would jointly contribute. Pushed the box office over the $100 million mark in its first week.

This practice is normal in Hollywood, and according to rumors, Tom Cruise bought millions of dollars at the box office on the first day of Rage.

What a pity. Ryan could only sigh with emotion.

Sorry? Natalie looked at him at first, Come on, Ryan, how happy you are now.

Stephen, Kate, we should increase our publicity. Especially overseas, I think this movie has the potential to hit the global box office of $100 million! Ryan ignored Natalie and looked at the other two.

I will communicate with Universal Pictures as soon as possible.

These things Ryan said, involving the benefits of all parties, will naturally pay special attention.

Kate. How are our merchandise sales? Ryan asked about another big earner.

The specific figures have not yet been counted, but there have been out-of-stock situations in many places. At present, the supply of the suppliers we have signed is somewhat tight.

Although there is no clear number, this is already the best positive news.

One more good news, Ryan.

Everyone present here is a community of interests, so naturally there is no need to hide it too much. Katherine Kennedy handed over a statistical report.

Ryan glanced at it. It was last week's North American box office chart. There was no suspense. Jurassic Park topped the list, and Rage came second.

Just comparing the first horror figure of more than 90,000 US dollars, Rage is only 660,000 US dollars, including part of Tom Cruise's own pocket.

Cruise Pictures and Sony Columbia are doomed!

Rage is a cool and handsome pure popcorn movie. Unlike Jurassic Park, which has a large number of book fans as a basis, the former tends to have a higher percentage drop in the second week. That said, it has no threat.

I'm waiting for the day you go bankrupt! Ryan felt the light in his hand, and the report had already fallen into Nicole's hands. She only glanced at it, and she couldn't help showing a bright smile on her cold and pretty face.

Okay, Ryan, that's it for now, Kate will contact you if there is anything.

Spielberg and two stood up at this time to leave, I made a wise decision at the time, thank you for choosing me.

Regardless of the film's future box office, they have created an achievement that will attract the attention of filmmakers around the world, even as old as Spielberg will still be proud.

You're welcome, Stephen, we will have more and more extensive cooperation opportunities in the future. Ryan said with a smile.

I believe it! ()
