Chapter 291： School and studio

"This is the academy's recognition of "Titanic" and the entire crew. It is a great honor no matter how many statuettes you can get in the end."

Faced with dozens of entertainment reporters, Ryan finally made a simple response to the Oscar nomination list, "Myself? At this age, it is very rare to be nominated for Best Actor in a row, I don’t think. I have the qualifications to win that little golden man."

After speaking, Ryan turned his head and walked into the school under the protection of several bodyguards.

After entering mid-February, USC Film Academy ushered in a new semester. Walking on a quiet campus, there were no reporters and paparazzi riots around. Ryan strode towards the office area of ​​the college, occasionally familiar with it. The people say hello.

Nowadays, the entire USC has long been accustomed to the existence of his star student. Even though someone will come to say hello from time to time, very few onlookers happen, even if a girl who commits a nymph sends love letters or other gifts. Also rarely entangled for a long time.

Before arriving at the tutor's office, after Ryan knocked on the door lightly, Professor Gret's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

"Hello, Professor Great." Ryan greeted respectfully.

"Sit, Ryan." Professor Great gestured to the chair opposite the desk. After Ryan sat down, he said, "I heard the assistant say that you are going to ask for leave again? It's not long before school starts."

"Sorry, professor." Ryan scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "A movie I starred in is in preparation and will start soon. I have to produce several other movies. The time is really tight."

"Ryan, go on like this. It's hard for you to earn enough credits." Professor Great thought about it and said suddenly.

"I understand that I will take the time to complete my studies as much as possible."

After a brief conversation, Ryan came out. Currently entering the preparatory period and there are too many movies being produced, such as "Leaves of a Deserted Island", "Blade Warrior", "American Pie", "Mission Impossible", "The Matrix", and "Toys". "Story Mobilization 2", "Insect Agents", "Jurassic Park 2" and so on. Even if he devolves most of the power, he always has to intervene occasionally, lest the film deviates too much.

Fortunately, the most troublesome special effects productions are currently being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer or Catherine Kennedy.

After ordering a few hot takeaway drinks from the open-air cafe of the Film Academy, Ryan returned to the temporary dormitory. When he opened the door and walked in, only a few people in the living room were sitting around the sofa. Drinking canned beer while discussing things.

Seeing Ryan coming in, a few people beckoned to say hello, Darren Bousman was also polite, and took the hot coffee in Ryan's hand and distributed it to several other people.

"God. Ryan, you finally showed up. We thought you were going to graduate early."

"It should be a dropout." Someone added.

"I've been a bit busy lately. What are you discussing?" Ryan grabbed a cup of coffee and sat on the solo sofa.

"What else can be, of course, our experimental feature film." Chen Jiazheng explained casually, "Last summer and just past New Year's holiday, we all worked part-time in the crew you introduced, accumulated a lot of experience and made money. With the subsidy from the college, it is enough to make a simple experimental feature film."

"Have you decided what type of feature film to shoot?" Ryan asked.

Co-production of experimental feature films is a course that students of their major must complete. Those students in the past shot mostly experimental films of about forty minutes.

However, Ryan knew. These guys want to shoot a standard length feature film.

"Of course it's a horror movie." Darren Bousmanli added, "A standard length of about 90 minutes."

"It's better to be screened in theaters." Reese took it.

"What about the script, are you ready for the script?"

Student experimental feature films want to be shown on regular theaters. The difficulty is not so big. Ryan can't help but wonder, what do these guys want to shoot?

"not yet."

"We are waiting for your idea."

"Ryan, you can provide an idea."

Of course, these guys are obviously joking. They are not ideal students. In the past few years, under the introduction of Ryan, they have participated in many film crews. Although they are only doing chores, they have gained a lot of experience in Hollywood. Some intuitive understanding.

What does Ryan Jenkins' creativity and script represent? Now in the entire movie circle, how many people don't understand?

You know, many small and medium-sized filmmakers who want to cooperate but have no way out, after hearing about the relationship between their classmates and friends, even approached them for public relations.

However, none of these people are idiots and understand how to choose.

"In fact, we already have a rough idea."

The most stable of the few, David spoke, "We are going to shoot a girl... well, a young girl, suddenly saw the reflection of the ghost in the middle of the night."

"We plan to rent an old apartment for shooting." Darren Bousman added.

"That's it." Ryan lifted his chin and said after thinking about it, "Why don't it be like this... well, this is just my suggestion, you don't need to care too much..."

"Come on, Ryan." After Reese interrupted, he quickly retrieved the laptop and opened the document, "Please continue."

"Okay." Ryan rolled his eyes. "The protagonist is added to two people, the girl and her boyfriend. They are shot from the first point of view. To be precise, they use the method of shooting a documentary. You can use Sony. The newly released dv camera is used as a shooting tool, and the content should be completely life-like..."

Although those present here lack experience, they are no strangers to documentary filming. After Ryan said a few words, they understood.

However, Ryan also just clicked to the end, just mentioned the filming techniques of the film, not to mention the later operation, and did not even mention the specific content.

After all, this kind of film is almost useless except for the first-person shooting method and the subsequent production of propaganda heads. If the high-achieving students at the Film School of Southern California University are still high-achieving students with a certain amount of experience, they can’t even figure this out. Just drop out of school.

"If you can, you'd better complete the shooting and post-production as soon as possible."

Before leaving the house, Ryan said casually, whether he succeeded or not had little to do with him now.

Even if the effect of their shooting meets expectations, Ryan does not intend to let Jenkins Pictures participate in it. This kind of overdraft of the film's credibility is completely out of value.

Flower Pictures that can be thrown to Drew Barrymore, anyway, he is also one of the major shareholders. The lawless guy would like the publicity and marketing method that plays with the public.

Viral marketing!

After walking out of the school gate, breaking out of the reporter's siege, and getting in the car, Ryan couldn't help shook his head.

In his previous life, he was engaged in the most basic-level work of the theater. He knew that viral marketing was completely a myth. The effect of this thing will be very good for the first time, and it will only get worse and worse in the future. If you don’t understand moderation, once it exceeds After a certain degree, it will bring huge negative effects.

Human psychological endurance, like the taste of the audience, is simple to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult to grasp.

The car left downtown Los Angeles and drove towards Warner’s studio. "Blade Warrior" is being shot in the studio here. As Marvel Pictures’ first superhero movie, it has attracted a lot of media attention.

"Hi, Ryan."

After quietly walking into the studio, Ryan stood at a suitable distance and was looking at the camera. Stan Lee suddenly walked over.

"Stan, what are you..."

Ryan looked at him up and down, the old man should be wearing a costume, and it seemed that he would go to battle in person later.

"I made a cameo in a small role."

Stan Lee stuck his iconic sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "Ryan, are you interested?"

"Forget it." Ryan didn't want to be a background emperor.

There are a large number of fighting scenes in this film, and various cool action scenes emerge in an endless stream. However, to see these, you must wait for the film to be fully post-processed.

Actually Kung Fu fighting, the movements are completely routine, the speed is extremely slow, and there is no appreciation. Ryan just watched for a while before losing interest, even though the action director named Zhen in the middle went off the scene in person.

Soon, Ryan found what he was interested in. The Spanish girl stood in front of the camera. She had a tight leather outfit and an unusually hot figure, showing the natural advantages of a Latin girl.

Perhaps after noticing Ryan's gaze, Penelope Cruz would show a charming smile from time to time between shooting, and occasionally the drifting eyes would fly over his face.

"Hi, Ryan, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Probably it was after shooting his own shot Penelope Cruz, who had taken off his makeup, came over and said hello.

"Hello, Pepe." Ryan nodded to her.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, Ryan." Penelope Cruz stood beside him, looking like a familiar friend. "Four Oscar nominations in a single year are crazy, how did you do it? of?"

"Work hard, and a little luck." Ryan shrugged indifferently.

No one knows better than him that most of his four nominations are for running, especially the best actor nomination. If it weren't for the halo and the strong public relations in the early stage, there is almost no possibility of getting it.

After a few casual chats, Ryan looked at his watch, made an apologetic gesture to Penelope Cruz, walked to the other side and greeted Stan Lee and other crew members, and prepared. Goodbye.

"Ryan, I heard that you just moved to a new house, can you visit it?"

Just before Ryan walked out of the studio, Penelope Cruz chased up from behind and made an unexpected request. ()
