greeted Spielberg, then called Natalie, and the group returned to the hotel and went directly to the living room of the Ryan suite.
Under Nicole's introduction, the two sides knew each other. The three people who came with her were French Jean Renault and Luc Besson, as well as his assistants.
"Sit down for a while, I have something to talk to Ryan."
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 tended to turn into an iceberg.
"What happened, Nicole?"
Close the bedroom door, and see the Australian girl when it turns overcast, there is a little drum in his heart.
"Ryan, what are you thinking? Why did you write such a script? God, what did you think of a twelve-year-old girl falling in love with a middle-aged killer?" Nicole pressed him on the small sofa. Staring at him condescendingly.
"I..." Without waiting for him to explain, she said again, "Or do you start to enter the rebellious period, full of thoughts? Do you know that such works will cause huge controversy."
"A box office can only be obtained if there is controversy." Ryan whispered, noticing a knife-like look in his eyes, he quickly closed his mouth obediently.
"Box office? What Nat's said is right. At a young age, you are all alone..." Nicole hadn't studied Chinese specifically, and obviously couldn't remember how the smell of copper would be said. "Also, this is what you did for Nat. A specially prepared script? This puts her under tremendous pressure."
"Well, Nicole, arguments and pressure will only be against me. Besides, this is just a fairy tale about a killer." Ryan didn't understand, but she made some changes to the plot, and Mrs. Shelly watched it. After that, there was no objection, why did Nicole make such a big fire.
"Fairy Tale?" Nicole's eyes widened and widened, "The little girl and the killer slept with each other, and the middle-aged man took a bath for the girl, God! Ryan, did you peek at Lolita..."
"Wait!" Ryan's eyes opened wider and wider, "I didn't write such a plot..."
These are obviously plots in the previous life movies, and even the plot of bathing was cancelled under the strong opposition of Natalie, but I removed these overly sensitive things, how...
Nicole moved quickly and took out the script from her handbag. Ryan quickly flipped through it, and her face became darker as she looked at it.
The script is not a copy of his mailing, but a machine-made version. Many plots have been added to it. Even the relationship between the girl and the killer that he specifically changed has been changed back. The most excessive thing is that there is also a paragraph about Leon as Marriage. Tilda taking a shower.
Damn it! Ryan cursed, without asking, he also knew that Luc Besson must have changed the content of the script without authorization.
Not to mention that there is no infringement involved, as long as he shakes his head, none of these plots can be realized.
What are these French people thinking? Wouldn't it be dead without those shots in the movie? He doesn't understand that if such a film is made, it is likely that it will be designated as NC-17 if it wants to be released in North America, which will cause the person who starred in Matilda and his author to face a huge turmoil.
"I didn't write this..." Ryan explained to Nicole quickly and simply, and the Australian girl's face looked a lot better.
It's just that when the two of them walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, the way she looked at Luc Besson changed.
Speaking of, for several years of living together in this world, Ryan and Nicole Kidman have influenced each other, and their personalities have changed a lot from their previous lives.
was sitting on the sofa surrounded by people, and the atmosphere in the crowd was a little embarrassing. After taking a sip of coffee, Luc Besson set his eyes on the boy opposite.
He has heard of him, and he has watched both "Sixth Sense" and "Terminator 2", and was very impressed with his performances, especially the peculiar structure of "Sixth Sense", which suits his appetite better.
At first, he was a little surprised when he learned that the script was written by a boy. However, he didn't care too much. There were too many geniuses among Jewish people.
Besides, since the "Sixth Sense", the other party, like most Hollywood film practitioners, has focused on business, whether it is "Home Alone", or later "Terminator 2" and "Bodyguard". "And so on, they are all completely commercial productions.
Luc Besson is different from most directors on the European continent. He knows that Hollywood's business operation model will have an increasing impact on the European film market, and it will take a few years to completely conquer the European market.
What about my colleagues in Europe? It only keeps criticizing Hollywood for nothing but business and self-righteousness, but is it useful?
Besides, who is the real self-righteous person? I'm afraid they are those who shoot self-talking works 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 you want to open the American market, you need a work that meets his own tastes and American concepts. Since shooting "Atlantis," he has been conceiving but has never been able to find a suitable idea. .
Until some time ago, his ** actor and friend Jean Reynolds brought the script of "Killer Leon", 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, this is Matilda? He was too young and too thin. He didn't even have a small bag on his chest. It was just the airport.
Luc Besson directly rejected the image of Natalie. If Ryan knew what he was thinking about, he would definitely wash his face with hot tea.
Ryan sat quietly. As for the negotiation, it was better to leave it to the professional Jinsli. He just kept flipping through the script made by the machine.
After a long time, Nicole dragged him, Ryan smiled apologetically to the opponent, and said, "Mr. Besson, I can leave "Killer Leon" to you, and I can also help you with the American system. The film parties match up."
After all, he has the experience of a previous life. Ryan knew that this guy was not welcomed by European filmmakers and always wanted to go to Hollywood.
Luc Besson made a gesture of "please say,". In addition to being a film director, he is also a businessman, not so stupid to think that the other party is really a naive boy.
"At that time, there were still a few setting drawings that were mailed with the script. I don't know if you have read them." Ryan asked.
"Of course, I can see that Leon is based on Jean's image."
"Yes, after watching "Nikita", I was very impressed by Mr. Renault." Ryan looked at Jean Renault's big nose unconsciously, and the other party smiled kindly.
He replied with the same brilliant smile. This time he looked at Natalie and said, "Two aspects, one is that this script was written for my best friend, Matilda’s idea came from her, and the other is ..."
Ryan put the machine-printed script on the coffee table, "Remove the plots added in it!"
Luc Besson’s face is very ugly. The plot changes and additions in the script are derived from him. He is so demanded by a boy with so many young men in public. Naturally, he will not be happy in his heart. If it weren’t for this script, it’s really attractive. , The other party is almost a guarantee of the box office in North America, he really wants to leave directly.
seems to know what the other person is thinking, Ryan continued, "Mr. Besson, if I'm not wrong, 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 knew he wanted to enter Hollywood.
"I don’t know how you view American audiences. Compared to the current American society, this subject matter is somewhat sensitive. It may be located in Europe. This kind of Lolita love affair will not arouse the audience’s disgust, but in North America, 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. If the film is completed, it will be rated as NC-17 by the MPAA. It's over."
"The most touching part of this story lies in the feelings, but there are many ways to express feelings, and sometimes the vague and obscure feelings can move people's hearts even more."
Luc Besson showed a thoughtful expression. He is not someone who does not know how to work around, but abandoning those plots, really...
"Don't forget, it will be a girl in her early ten years who will be involved in the filming!" In front of Natalie, Ryan had something difficult to say. If Luc Besson really insists on this, then take back the script. All right.
This movie may not fail without him. 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 is only the last choice. As long as possible, keeping the original team is the first choice.
How to choose between ideas and interests? It is not difficult for a director who runs a film company .
What's more, although the other party has some connections in Hollywood, it will definitely be a lot more convenient for Ryan Jenkins to match up with them.
"Okay." Luc Besson chose the market.
However, the little character of the Frenchman came out again, "I hope I can hold an audition for the role of Matilda in New York."
Now, Ryan’s face is not looking good. If it is not for his friends, why should he waste so much saliva with each other? If Natalie can't play Matilda, he would rather let this movie disappear forever.
Luc Besson is obviously not a vegetarian. His counterattack is sharp. "I just talked to Miss Natalie. Knowing that she has a rich acting experience, I think Miss Natalie will definitely not Mind the audition and get this role on your own strength, not because of a good friend of Ryan Jenkins."
This is a very obvious run and aggressive approach, but Natalie is competitive and has her own pride. Just as Ryan wanted to say something, she pulled her arm hard and almost fell on the sofa.
"Ryan..." Natalie looked over, Ryan opened her mouth, and finally closed it.
"I agree to audition." Natalie showed her chin.
Forget it, Ryan shrugged and assumed it was to protect Natalie's self-esteem. With her acting skills, it's easy to get this role, isn't it?
Besides, he will find someone of his own as the production manager.
