Chapter 358 Auction
Regional concepts are not lacking in any country or nation, and Russians are no exception. Since the film market opened its arms to Hollywood, this vast land, like other parts of the world, has been quickly embraced by Hollywood's commercial productions. Fallen.
In a movie from Hollywood, many images of one's own country can appear, which is definitely something that audiences love to see, and the fact that Rest of a Deserted Island quickly occupied major theaters after entering Russia also proves this.
Red Square, the Volga River, Lenin Cemetery, and the ice and snow in Moscow, these, like Ryan's powerful appeal, attracted a large number of Russian audiences into the theater.
However, no one expected that at the latest regular press conference of the Russian Duma, the congressman who served as the spokesperson would openly speak to Rest of a Deserted Island, to Ryan? Jenkins lodged serious protests, even bombarding the film.
Hollywood movies always vilify the image of Russians. This time, they describe Russians as lazy people who procrastinate and have no sense of time. This is slandering the whole of Russia. We should boycott Ryan Jenkins' movies and Cast Away
This is what the congressman said in front of the media. He even called on the Russian authorities to intervene directly to make The Rest of a Deserted Island be withdrawn from the theaters in advance.
The news quickly spread back to North America. Although Russia was not considered a very important market, Ryan would not let this happen, and the necessary public relations work was carried out quickly. .
Use what he did to Julius at the time? In Stewart's words, that is, 'We can't make trouble with anything, and we can't make trouble with money, even if it is a ruble that is not very valuable. '
The other party obviously inherited the excellent traditions of the Soviet Union, and they went online at every turn, elevating the incident to the height of the entire country and nation.
Ryan is keenly aware that the Russian side reacted so aggressively, and it is very likely that it has something to do with the two Faberge eggs brought back by Julius. After all, to a certain extent, this is the most representative of Russia. one of the works of art.
The problem is, those people dare to sell the whole country for the sake of money. How serious are the two little easter eggs?
The Zhengfu is a powerful organization after all, and Ryan would not be so stupid as to confront the Russian Zhengfu head-on. Jenkins Films held a press conference as quickly as possible, and specially invited reporters from Moscow, expressing that in the movie, Chuck reprimanded The plot of Russian employees procrastinating is actually a satire on those workaholic Americans, and it does not mean to belittle the Russians at all.
Today's Russia is no longer the former Soviet Union, and the influence of Zhengfu has greatly weakened.
Coupled with the quick response of Jenkins Films, after this self-deprecating statement was released, the Russian market did not bring too many adverse reactions, and Cast Away almost dominated the polar bear winter movie market.
In the entire Western world, this film can be said to be both popular and well-received. The perception of life it brings out even exceeds that of Robinson Crusoe. One exception was the box office champion in the region where it was released.
In the Far East, it is no exception. After Titanic, Ryan became the most well-known and box office Hollywood star in this region.
Even in Ben, the place where Godzilla was born, after Godzilla maintained its top spot at the box office for a week, it was pulled down by Rest of a Deserted Island released later. Reprinted, there has been serious polarization between the two sides.
Sony Columbia Pictures, in the Godzilla project, can be said to have made a lot of mistakes. It not only failed to please the American audience, but also lost the support of the place where it originated. The huge production cost and publicity budget, passed the box office It is difficult to recover, and we can only count on the follow-up derivatives market.
Of course, limited to the subject matter of the movie and the Western-style values of the response, although Cast Away has achieved great success in the Far East, it is far inferior to Jurassic Park 2 in the summer. Fortunately, the response in North America It's getting hotter, and the box office is stacking up almost at very steady numbers.
Some professionals can't understand why such a clichéd and simple story-or Tom, who has no talent in screenwriting? The idea that Hanks came up with - why Ryan? In the hands of Jenkins, will there be a completely different effect?
Even though they overrated the movie, the buzz was far greater than expected.
The hottest topic in North America during the Christmas period is the discussion about Cast Away. From the plot of the movie and from the protagonist Chuck, it seems that every audience can experience different feelings that are unique to them.
Even those young students who lack life experience express their views on movies on the Internet.
If you had what happened to Chuck, would you survive?
This is the hottest topic of discussion. Although they are a rebellious and confident generation, after rational analysis, they found that they might be able to be like Chuck, relying on the existing conditions on the desert island, and would not die of hunger and thirst , but how to bear that kind of loneliness?
The continued popularity of the topic will inevitably bring about a bumper harvest at the box office. The North American box office of the third week of Cast Away was fixed at a figure of just over 59 million US dollars, beating the Rush Hour released this week, three consecutive Weeks topped the North American box office charts.
strangeness.
Ryan was thinking about the just-released North American box office rankings, and Taylor, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help asking curiously, Strange? What's so strange?
Ah, nothing. Ryan shook his head.
He couldn't tell the little guy that the former Rush Hour should have been released long ago, instead of directly facing his own movie in this highly competitive Christmas file.
Forget it, who cares, anyway, he doesn't have much interest in this series, otherwise he won't get a new line.
What are you thinking about? Ryan, if you don't make a move again, I will call your number. The little girl's eyes fell on the number plate in Ryan's hand, Don't forget, you promised me.
Honey, patience is a virtue. Ryan shook his finger at her and lowered his voice, It's only three thousand dollars now, do you think Mr. Wilson is worth such a little money?
What is going on now is a charity dinner where celebrities gather, and the charity auction is an essential event. The best supporting role volleyball 'Wilson' in the minds of countless people is the item being auctioned.
Five thousand dollars, five thousand dollars now...
Six thousand dollars, the tenth bid is six thousand dollars. The hostess, who was temporarily acting as the auctioneer, showed off her lips and joked, This is no ordinary volleyball, 'Wilson' might be able to win this year's Oscar Best Supporting Actor.
Her words drew laughter from below, and then more number plates gathered.
Seven thousand dollars...
Eight thousand dollars...
Ten thousand dollars...
Fifteen thousand dollars!
When this price tag appeared, the venue suddenly fell silent, saying that Wilson is just a movie prop, and the price is already very high.
Seeing the anxious look on the little girl's face, even though she was obviously faking it, Ryan still stuffed the number plate into his hand.
Sixteen thousand dollars!
The little girl's crisp voice was extremely eye-catching. After noticing the diverted gaze, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.
At first, some people thought she was messing around, but after seeing who she was and who was sitting next to her, they immediately understood that it was definitely not the little girl who was mischievous on purpose.
Whose child is this? Why are you here to join in the fun?
Perhaps it was because the scene was relatively quiet, and a girl's voice came from the other side, causing Taylor to glare, but there were too many people in the banquet hall, and it was impossible to see who it was.
Twenty thousand dollars! It was the same female voice just now.
Twenty-one thousand dollars! Taylor showed no sign of weakness.
30,000 U.S. dollars! This was clearly an act of vindictiveness.
Ryan couldn't help but be a little curious. This kind of charity auction rarely has tit-for-tat scenes. When the original owner of the item wants to buy back the item he donated, the rest of the people will basically not compete. This is the default rule in the celebrity circle.
Whose girl is this? Listening to the sound should not be too old.
Thirty-one thousand dollars. With a rich man sitting beside him, Taylor would not hesitate.
Fifty thousand dollars!
As soon as the sound came out, there was some movement in the field. The money was not too much, but it was a bit of a loser to use such a figure to buy a volleyball prop.
Many people looked in the direction of the sound, but Ryan followed the eyes of most people and saw the girl who was obviously in the rebellious stage and had a rebellious face.
The girl was also not alone, and there was an older young man sitting beside her. Ryan looked at him familiarly, but couldn't figure out who it was.
Really annoying!
Taylor has indeed restrained a lot recently, but it is only in front of Ryan and others, and she is not polite to strangers. Her voice seems to be muttering, but it is clear and clear.
Fifty-one thousand dollars! Although she couldn't see the person on the other side, she stuck out her tongue on purpose.
Sixty thousand dollars!
Sixty-one thousand dollars!
Seventy thousand dollars!
Seventy-one thousand dollars!
Eighty thousand dollars...
Ryan, what should we do? The little girl looked over for help, but Ryan didn't speak, but gave him an encouraging look.
Five minutes later, the staff brought Mr. Wilson over. The little girl hugged the volleyball, pointed at the direction of the sound, and wrinkled her nose vigorously.
Is it worth $100,000 to buy a volleyball? Ryan didn't care at all, Taylor was his most beloved sister, as long as she was happy.
Who is that person? He doesn't understand any rules. After all, he grew up in the upper class. Although Taylor is young, he knows a lot of things.
I don't know. Ryan shook his head.
Those are the sons and daughters of a madman. It was a director of Paramount next door who spoke, With such a father teaching them, can we expect them to know the rules? (To be continued.) ()
