Chapter 171 $200 Million Investment

When the third week passed, the weekly box office of Jurassic Park finally showed a significant decline, but the box office figure of less than 61 million US dollars still sat firmly in the position of the weekly box office chart, so far it has broken A series of records in film history.

The highest box office figures in the first week, the fastest breaking 100 million, the fastest breaking 150 million, and the fastest breaking 200 million were all included in Jurassic Park.

In fact, people in the industry know that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the total box office champion of film history.

After entering the fourth week, Jurassic Park finally slowed down its momentum. The previous long queues to buy tickets to watch the movie gradually decreased. Other film companies were relieved, as long as Jurassic Park did not break out again, they would The movie still holds great promise for a slice of the pie from this summer.

After 20 days of intensive publicity, the crew returned to Los Angeles. At this time, in addition to exhaustion, everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement. After all, they created a miracle together, and the miracle is still going on. !

Now is not the time to relax. In late July, Jurassic Park will go out of North America and fully land in overseas markets. After a short rest and adjustment, the crew will split into two groups and head to Europe and the Far East respectively to launch a new round of publicity. .

If the movie is to sell well overseas as well as the box office, a violent publicity campaign is an indispensable means. The income of this movie is closely related to him, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.

“It feels so good to be at home!”

Back at the villa in Beverly Hills, Ryan took a long breath, and the exhaustion on his face disappeared.

Lisa, let someone put your luggage upstairs, call Mr. Zhou's restaurant, and order a Chinese lunch. It's the old rules.

Nicole told the housekeeper, Also, Tyler will come over soon and order a few meals she likes.

After getting out of the car. Ryan called Scott Swift and asked him about investing, only to have his increasingly sharp-edged daughter clamoring to come over when he heard that he and Nicole were back .

Long before the release of Jurassic Park, Ryan received detailed information about Blue Sky Studio. He is not a computer. He knows Pixar because Steve Jobs' resume is too famous. He only knows the name of Blue Sky Studio. Just like those few animated movies, it can only be explored in other ways.

Fortunately, because of Pixar's relationship, he knew that there was a friend of John Lasseter in Blue Sky Studios - Chris Wedge. Only then did it confirm that this Blue Sky Studio was the Blue Sky Studio.

Although it took a lot of money.

Scott still comes at an irresistible price. After acquiring more than 80% of the shares of Blue Sky Studio, the rest will naturally be left to a few founders. Without them, would a layman like Scott run the studio?

Ryan!

A clear girl's voice came from the door of the villa, and Ryan didn't even think about it. replied, I'm not here!

where's my gift!

In the dense footsteps, a small hand with an onyx bracelet stretched out in front of him.

Gifts? Well... in the gift shop, of course.

Ryan pouted. He knew very well that the little girl in front of him often talked with Natalie on the phone and had been taught badly.

Hmph~ cheapskate.

Tyler pouted, looked at Nicole very politely, and greeted obediently, Hello, Nicole.

Hello. Tyler, how did you get here? Nicole hugged her on the sofa.

The driver brought me here.

The Swifts are now standard rich, with not only the commissions paid by Ryan, but also the dividends from Jenkins.

Ryan, bring the gift I prepared during the salute. Nicole still likes children very much. In particular, the relationship between the two is not normal.

Of course, if the other party rolls the golden beans without moving, Ryan will also like her very much, but if this guy is not as good as she wants, he will cry to you and make one head turn into two big ones.

Ryan went to Nicole's room first, found the latest version of Barbie from the suitcase, then came to his room and took out a set of limited-edition dinosaur models from the glass cabinet. This is not on the market. It's a bargain, but ILM's souvenirs specially made for key members of the crew.

I am a jerk! Ryan sighed with emotion that every time the little guy downstairs came here, he was like a mouse in the barn, even eating and taking it. Most of his limited edition things were cheaper for her.

After dawdling from upstairs for a long time, Ryan walked down the stairs and found that Nicole had brought Tyler into the restaurant, and the ordered lunch was placed on the white table.

Is this for me, Ryan?

The first thing the little girl saw was the two big boxes in Ryan's hand, her smiling eyes were bent, and she pointed to the chair beside her, Just put it on this, I will open it myself.

Well, you're a privileged class now, I won't care about you! Ryan put the gift box down and went around to the other side of the dining table, so he didn't want to sit with the troublemaker.

Oh, what a beautiful doll, thank you, Nicole.

In just a short while, Taylor flexibly opened a box, holding a Barbie with a wide smile, and then she opened another box. After seeing the realistic dinosaur model, she smiled even happier.

Honey, you should say thank you to me!

After waiting for a long time, Ryan found that she had no sense of gratitude at all.

Really? I seem to have said it...

Soon to be four years old, she not only speaks fluently, but also has a smarter head.

Okay, Ryan, let's eat.

Nicole spoke, Ryan shrugged, picked up the knife and fork, and concentrated on the food in front of him.

The three chatted while eating, and most of the time Nicole was coaxing the child. Taylor seemed to like her and always greeted her with a smile.

I don't like little brats, Austin is too crying, always sick, he's too loud at times.

When Nicole asked about her brother, Tyler said, and Ryan only curled his lips, as if she was talking about herself except for being sick?

I'm stuffed.

Soon, the little girl put down the spoon in her hand, rolled her sapphire blue eyes, bent over and got under the dining table to Ryan's side, I want to listen to the guitar! I want to listen to the guitar!

Then I have to wait until I finish eating, right?

Ryan pulled back the hand she pulled over and rolled his eyes helplessly.

Okay then...you must play after eating. No conditions are allowed!

However, not long after Ryan and Nicole walked into the living room after lunch, someone came to visit, and it was James Cameron.

Jim, why are you here? Nicole asked strangely after asking him to sit down.

Yeah, why didn't you make a phone call before you came, we just had a hearty lunch. Ryan was joking deliberately.

I'm in Beverly Hills on business and just heard you guys are back. Stop by.

Both are old friends. James? Cameron is not polite. Congratulations not yet, Ryan, Nicole.

Oh, and this little lady. Can you tell me your name? Cameron looked at the little girl sitting beside Nicole.

Taylor, Taylor Swift, nice to meet you, Mr. Cameron!

When facing outsiders, Tyler seemed extremely polite and well-bred, not at all naughty and mischievous.

Do you know me? In the face of Cameron's question, Taylor explained calmly, Hmm~ Ryan's album contains photos of you and many people.

Is that so... Cameron smiled at Tyler and looked at Ryan and Nicole. I'm here to remind you, don't forget to attend the premiere of True Lies.

You are really a responsible producer! Ryan said teasingly.

There's no way, if I screw up the $130 million investment, I'll have to leave Hollywood. Cameron raised his eyebrows. Ryan, I will definitely kidnap you before I leave!

Don't even think about it, Jim. Nicole glared at him.

True Lies came out on Independence Day, and Jurassic Park's momentum must have dropped by then, nothing to worry about. Ryan shrugged.

Also, Ryan! It seems that the next words are Cameron's real purpose, True Lies is about to be released, you promised me the idea at Arnold's party, I'm still waiting Go with you to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see that giant ship with your own eyes!

Well, wait a minute!

Ryan got up and walked upstairs, entered his room, dug out several thick file bags from the suitcase, took one of them, put the rest in the bookcase, and returned to the living room .

The few months after Oscar included the leisure time during the promotion. He didn't have any spare time. The several scripts he started at the beginning of the year were basically completed, and even the new Harry Potter episode was almost ready.

Jim. Ryan handed over the file bag and said while Cameron was flipping through it, I suggest that we spend two years in the preliminary preparation, building a one-to-one model ship is a must, There are also various utensils on the ship, it is best to go to the original manufacturer to order.

He gave James Cameron the Titanic, which he had already mentioned, and the classic My Heart Will Go On.

Cameron nodded, and Ryan continued, This ship not only has to show disaster, but also the power of industrial civilization. These are what you are best at, aren't they?

certainly!

James Cameron is not polite at all.

I've written all the relevant suggestions in it. As for whether to take it or not, it's up to you, Jim. What Ryan wrote was just some repeated productions in the previous life, such as the tableware that forgot to engrave the name of the White Star Company, etc. It will save a considerable amount of money and put it into post-production. The last point, Jim, Jenkins Films can invest 100 million US dollars for this movie, and the remaining 100 million US dollars will depend on you to pull the investment!

what?

Cameron and Nicole exclaimed at the same time, although they are used to seeing big investment and big productions, the production budget of 200 million US dollars is too crazy.

Don't forget, Jim, we're going to build a one-to-one Titanic! Ryan emphasized, As long as True Lies doesn't encounter Waterloo, with the combined strength of the two of us, we can pull it to the next level. The investment of 100 million US dollars is not a big problem!

That's right!

Cameron nodded, whether it was Ryan or himself, he had strong confidence, That's it for now, don't forget to attend the premiere of True Lies in a few days. ( )
