Chapter 159： Show time conflict

The large conference room was silent, and the thick curtains blocked the small windows tightly. More than a dozen people sat in large chairs, staring attentively at the silver-white curtain, and a small projector was playing. Thrilling images.

Although the people present here, including Ryan, are considered veterans in this industry, when the giant Tyrannosaurus appeared in the picture, they still couldn’t help showing a look of surprise. There is not much difference between real dinosaurs.

Although there is no soundtrack, and even some of the voices of the characters are not added to it, this Tyrannosaurus is enough to kill everything in seconds.

Its huge head easily knocked over a Ford off-road vehicle, opened its blood bowl, bit two tires with great flexibility, and stepped on the car. The sturdy off-road vehicle was as flat as paper. Go down.

It was "Jurassic Park" that was shown on the screen. This was a small preview. The people sitting here were basically investors and producers.

The film is just a sample after the initial editing. There are no front and back letters and soundtrack dubbing. Except for a few clips, even special effects have not been added. Even so, a limited number of dinosaur images are still for most people to watch. The tuts are amazing.

Just an hour later, the trial meeting was over. Ryan was the first to clap his palms. As long as the remaining special effects maintain the level of Tyrannosaurus, this "Jurassic Park" will still sweep the world's movie market.

"Stephen, it's excellent. That Tyrannosaurus is even better than I thought."

When he approached the Jewish director, Ryan gave a small compliment. Although Spielberg was smiling brightly, he couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face.

"Thank you, Ryan, to get the compliment from you as the original author. I think this is the greatest success."

During this time, Spielberg has to take care of the later stages of the two films. The pressure is indeed very high, even if the latter part of "Jurassic Park" is mostly in charge of George? Lucas.

"Trust me, this movie will create an amazing record."

Ryan greeted Catherine Kennedy, and looked at Ron Meyer who came by, "Ron, is the movie release date set?"

"Definitely in the summer file, I would like to ask for your opinion on the specific date."

The publicity of the film has been in full swing since the day it started, and Ron Meyer has no pressure on the summer release.

"The first week of June." Ryan had thought about it a long time ago, even if they didn't ask. He would also take the initiative to suggest, "Throughout the summer, all movies can only tremble in the shadow of "Jurassic Park"!"

"Hmm... there are still three months, Stephen, can you finish it later?" Ron Meyer looked at the other side.

"There is no problem."

Spielberg said vowedly.

"Also." Ryan said again, "Do you think, how about putting the premiere screening location in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington?"

"Good idea, we can also invite some naturalists to participate in the premiere. This is very helpful for the promotion of the film."

Ryan just gave some suggestions, and he was not good at specific tasks. After a little discussion with Spielberg on other aspects of the film. I left Universal Studios.

Time entered March. After close preparations by Miramax, "Sugar Coated Trap" was officially launched in the Cayman Islands. Ryan Brad Pitt starred in the leading actor-the Michelle lawyer-Nicole Although there are not many scenes. It was the first time to rush to the crew.

When we got home, it was getting late, and Ryan simply had dinner. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, changing TV channels back and forth.

Scott Swift has been in contact with Steve Jobs several times, and the other party offered them a sky-high price of $80 million, treating them as fat sheep.

However, the sky-high asking price to pay back the money on the spot is the principle that is applicable to all shopping malls. After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides are seeing the price of 55 million U.S. dollars. Since there are no competitors, Ryan is not in a hurry. On the other side, Jobs' next computer company is in distress, and he needs a lot of money.

Steve Jobs is now at the lowest stage in his life.

Just after switching to cbs, Ryan was attracted by the picture on the TV, which was a trailer for an action movie.

"In this summer, we will witness the return of the superstars. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore Lianyang starred. Columbia Pictures and Cruise Pictures invested 70 million US dollars to create it. It’s dazzling. The super action giant "Raging Flames" will land in North America on June 4th, and spend the hot summer with you..."

In the picture, the scenes of the helicopter crashing and the car colliding appeared one after another, and the blazing flames lit up half of the night sky. However, in this trailer of less than two minutes, whether it is the coquettish and **** Demi Moore, or The action scenes, large and small, are all foils, all to set off Tom Cruise's handsome face.

Ryan feels a toothache, as if this movie has been in production for more than a year, right? Sony actually put it in this summer file? The time just clashes with "Jurassic Park", I really don't know if I should say I have good luck or they are bad.

"Raging Flames" may surpass "Terminator 2", but is it possible? Ryan looked at the director’s name on the subtitles and couldn’t help shaking his head. Tony Scott is an excellent director, but he has more than one difference in commercial film production from James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Grade.

After thinking for a while, Ryan called Pie Jinsli’s phone, and the ringing sound rang for a long time before Ryan heard the call connected there. Who knows it’s not Jinsli that came first. the sound of.

"It's really annoying. Why did you call me at this time and told you to shut it down?" A man's complaint came.

"Sorry, Ryan..."

Listening to Jinsli's voice, Ryan had some enlightenment, and he seemed to be interrupting others' good things. It was a sin.

"Um...Pat, if you're busy, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"It's ok."

Ryan tried to use short words to ask the question in his mind, and after receiving the answer from Jinsli, he hung up the phone quickly.

It's not easy to be a strong woman! Ryan is very general. As far as he knows, Pai Jinsli has parted ways with three boyfriends since 90 years. It seems that if she continues to be busy now, it may not last for a long time.

However, he got the answer he wanted in the phone call just now, and Sony Columbia has indeed established a very close cooperative relationship with Cruise Pictures under the name of Tom Cruise.

Frankly speaking, his appearance in Hollywood has brought a lot of changes to the major film companies. For example, Sony Columbia has lost the distribution rights of movies such as "Terminator 2", which is more difficult than the same period in the previous life. If you continue to mix it up, say no Someday it will go bankrupt like Lianmei.

Its Toyo owner is eager to change the status quo and adjusted the management of the film company. It is said that there are a few more hoops in the executive directors, and they are leading the project "Raging Flames".

And the movie has been in publicity for a long time, but I didn't notice it.

But do these guys know how to play in the North American entertainment market? Sony has acquired Columbia Pictures for so many years, and it is still paying tuition fees. Is it possible that those hooligans really regard this place as their domestic entertainment circle, and they can let them make trouble?

Ryan has heard that after Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, he was dissatisfied with the fact that there were more Americans than Japanese in the management of the film company. The poor performance of Columbia Pictures in recent years just gave them hands-on adjustments. Reason.

Although Tom Cruise's reputation has been getting worse in the past two years, he still has a lot of box office appeal. Sony has enough capital, and it seems that the two sides hit it off.

If Sony Columbia is willing to drag Tom Cruise into the pit and can't climb out, Ryan is still happy to see it happen, even if these guys should want to share a big piece of cake from the North American entertainment market.

In addition, Tom Cruise is not only the starring role. According to Jinsli, Cruise Pictures has invested more than 15 million US dollars in it. He also served as the producer. Have considerable right to speak.

Originally, Ryan hadn't had a good way to deal with Tom Cruise. The plan was to wait until he became an adult when his foundation was solid, and then he could find a way to start.

Fifteen million dollars is not a small number. If the other party loses his money, it should be painful, right? Let Tom Cruise not make money, or even lose moneyRyan will naturally be very happy.

If it's another movie, Ryan may still be scrupulous about one or two, this is "Jurassic Performance"! It’s a super big production that kills young and old, not to mention the "Raging Flames" that I have never heard of in my previous life. Even if "Terminator 2" encounters it, James Cameron will shun it.

Ryan just watched the sample film in the afternoon. Due to more sufficient funds, the completed special effects clips are slightly better than the previous life. Also, this film has a large number of book fans as the foundation, and in terms of distribution channels, Universal The film industry has an advantage over outsiders like Sony.

The market share of North American movies is there. Among the movies released in the same period, if there is a big hit, the box office of other movies will naturally be affected. As long as "Jurassic Park" can show the momentum of the past life, now In this era, R-rated action movies can almost be crushed.

If you want to sell movies, you have to increase your publicity. It seems that you should cooperate with the crew's publicity plan.

In just a short time, a lot of thoughts passed through Ryan’s head. The premiere of "Jurassic Park" on June 3, and its full release in major theaters in North America on June 4, was really an order. The day people look forward to. (To be continued...) ()
