Chapter 319： Strong competitor

ps: Four changes today~~~

After returning to Los Angeles, the USC Film Academy had already reached the holiday time. He, the most famous student, had almost missed a whole semester of courses. Facing Professor Grete’s slightly helpless remarks, Ryan promised that he would fall. Make up the homework, anyway, graduation is not a difficult task for him.

Although the time spent in school has been decreasing in recent years, Ryan has still learned a lot of useful knowledge, coupled with his rich studio experience, in the understanding of Hollywood production, he will not be inferior to any one. Classmates.

And he hung his name, and the pseudo-documentary horror movie produced by David, Darren and others has been completed. As planned, it was handed over to Flower Pictures for distribution. Ryan just made some hints. Those professional propaganda staff understood the specific operation method.

Viral marketing is not a novelty. It has been around for many years. Now that it has a sound network in North America, coupled with the first large-scale application, it should be able to achieve ideal results.

However, this kind of hurtful thing, once used once less.

Anyway, he is the largest shareholder of Flower Pictures except Drew. Most of the funds will still flow into his pockets. Of course, he is not a vampire. The people who make the film are his classmates and friends. If they can succeed, they will definitely be indispensable. The corresponding dividends.

In addition, it is the two scripts that were planned in Australia.

Although there were some surprises in the middle, generally speaking, Ryan is still going according to the original plan, and every year he will release a movie in which he plays the leading role, which is both popular and popular.

Well, it shouldn’t be a problem that the movie planned for next year is well received. It would be difficult to get a seat. According to the experience of previous lives, it’s not bad to be able to recover the cost.

This film is naturally the autobiographical novel of Varadesro Spearman that Ryan allowed him to get, the pianist who was persecuted by the German Nazis. After meeting the people who had negotiated with Pai Jinsli Pai in the past, they did not pay sky-high adaptation fees because the purchaser was Ryan, but instead asked to donate half of the movie's proceeds to several Jewish survivor organizations.

Ryan has agreed long ago. Perhaps with his name, this movie will be profitable, but how much can it be?

After all, people who like this dull movie are a minority in the world. And the icy flavor in the autobiographical novel is not as dramatic as Schindler's List.

However, in order to increase his bargaining chip, Ryan doesn't mind whether the person or work he collaborates with is an angel or a devil.

Therefore, the first director Ryan thought of was Roman Polanski, an old guy who hid in France and dared not return to North America for the rest of his life, he himself was a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp. Shooting this subject matter has a natural advantage.

As for the other movie, David Geffen once contacted Pie Kingsley in the novel about the gladiator that he published in Vanity Fair a few years ago. Wanting to buy the right to adapt the film, after being rebuffed by Ryan, he probably understood something and gave up completely.

If you follow the general idea. I would definitely shoot "Gladiator" first to increase my qualifications, and then use "The Pianist" which is so special that it cannot be ignored. To compete for the best actor.

Unfortunately, I met a Ryan who didn't like art movies very much. He would rather put the unsure "Gladiator" behind instead of using a purely so-called art film to reach the peak of his acting career.

A dull movie that will make many people fall asleep, even if you get the Little Golden Man, how many audiences will remember that character.

Because he liked popcorn too much in his previous life, he would inevitably wear colored glasses on his understanding of movies.

Of course, all these are still uncertain factors. For the movie to appear, he must first come up with a complete script.

In addition to writing the script, Ryan’s most urgent thing is to go on a diet and fitness to meet the requirements of the remaining shots of "Remains of a Deserted Island". Fortunately, he is not the Tom Hanks of the past, and he does not have the problem of wide and fat. Follow the plan made by the nutritionist and fitness trainer.

The only difficulty lies in the nutrition package. After eating too much monotonous food, it is difficult to have an appetite.

Time slowly came to June 6. Today in 1944 is the famous'd' day. The premiere of "Saving Private Ryan" in North America was specially selected for the anniversary of the landing in Normandy, such a special time. The theme that echoed it, coupled with the huge appeal of Ryan, Tom Hanks and Spielberg, immediately attracted a lot of attention.

This film participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and the media was unanimously applauded, which drove the upsurge of watching movies.

Unexpectedly, "Saving Private Ryan" was a big gain at the Cannes Film Festival. Although Tom Hanks lost the best actor, Spielberg won the Palme d’Or, even though Tom Hanks lost the best actor. U.S. audiences don't look up to awards outside of North America very much, which can be regarded as adding a layer of halo to the film.

In fact, it’s not a strange thing to get back the Palme d’Or. "Saving Private Ryan" commemorates the victory of the anti-fascist war. The film’s premiere location in France is Normandy, and the Cannes Film Festival is infinitely close to Normandy’s landing. Remembrance day, and anti-fascism, anti-Nazi and its humanistic ideas, but the mainstream Western values.

First of all, the quality of the movie is guaranteed. Coupled with various external factors, the judges will naturally consider carefully. Even if some people no longer like the subject matter of the movie, they are not idiotic enough to openly shout support for the Nazis in this era. .

This premiere is similar to the premieres of other movies. The only difference is that it was like the Cannes Film Festival. Many veterans who participated in World War II were invited, and many of them were veterans of the 101st Airborne Division. .

After watching the movie on the big screen again, Ryan attended a regular press conference. Many of the questions asked by reporters were answered in Cannes, but at this time he just repeated it.

"Ryan, your role and performance in the movie have changed a lot than before. From my perspective, this is an extremely successful attempt. How did you do it?" A reporter finally asked about it. The performance aspect.

"It's very simple. Play every role with your heart."

Ryan gave a standard answer. If this is not the scene of the press conference, I believe many reporters will roll their eyes at him.

Opportunity is very important for actors, but if you can play each role with your heart, then Hollywood is not all actors. Looking at the guy who turned and left, many reporters thought so.

As expected, on the second day after the movie was released, the major media gave praise. The'milestone in the history of war movies' and the'best war movie in history' have almost become "Saving Private Ryan". The pronoun, even the most critical media, will not focus on the subject matter of the movie. At most, it is only accusing the actors of the performances and a little bit of piercing scenes.

Just like in Cannes, Ryan’s performance in the film has been praised by most of the media, who believes that he is gradually breaking away from the inherent performance methods of "Cat and Mouse" and "Titanic" and has achieved extreme results. Great progress.

And Ryan left Los Angeles on this day and brought Julius Stewart's surprise from Russia to the Big Apple New York. He not only celebrated Natalie’s seventeenth birthday, but also participated in other A movie premiere.

Pixar’s second fully computer-produced 3D animation film is about to be released. Although it has a completely different audience from the r-rated "Saving Private Ryan", Pixar’s senior management decided to choose the film’s premiere location. New York far away from Los Angeles.

This movie is not "Toy Story 2" but "Insect Crisis". In this world, Disney’s constraints are eliminated. Except for a few expenses, almost all of the profits of "Toy Story" belong to Pixar, and the stock price has risen since its listing. Faster, which raised a lot of funds.

Without those messy worries, the film is made more sophisticated. Out of confidence in Ryan and Pixar Studios, Paramount Pictures as the distributor has also invested enough theater lines for the film.

Ryan certainly won't put this movie on the same week as "Saving Private Ryan", the movie will be released next weekend.

Pixar Studios is facing an extremely strong opponent this time I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional. Walt Disney put the hand-painted cartoon "Mulan" with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars at the beginning of the summer file, but With strong opposition from certain voices within Disney, this animated film drawn from across the ocean was not released on the same weekend of "Bug Crisis", but was selected in the next week of the fair competition mode.

But everyone can see that those who now hold most of Disney's power are targeting Pixar Studios. They seem to want to use this method to prove their unshakable status in animated films.

Ryan has watched these two movies many times in his previous life, and naturally knows a lot of the advantages and disadvantages of them. According to the laws of Hollywood in this era, they are based on themes of distant countries, and they will certainly not be the opponent of "Bug Crisis" in North America. However, overseas markets, especially the Far East market, will have an absolute advantage.

But what can be done even if this is the case? The decline of hand-drawn animation is an irreversible trend. In a few years, not only Disney, but even DreamWorks will withdraw their hand-drawn animation department and devote all their energy to computer animation.

After paying a little attention to this aspect, Ryan drove to Long Island. The villa he entrusted to the real estate company to purchase on the most luxurious beach in the eastern part of Long Island was in place. (To be continued ()
