After deciding on the director, Jenkins Pictures began to look for suitable staff to form a crew. This series has its particularities. The main cast and crew in the future are likely to live in London for a long time. Therefore, in addition to Chris Columbus’s team, Priority will be given to British staff.
Ryan specially recruited Michael Barnason from Warner Bros. to serve as another producer to assist Chris Columbus with the chores of the crew.
In addition, Jenkins Pictures has contacted the British media under News Corp. After the New Year, an advertisement for audition actors will be issued. With the hype ability of these guys, the selection of Harry Potter actors will definitely become the best in British life next year. Things to care about.
Ryan is prepared to spend more than half a year next year to complete the audition of actors. Even the Harry Potter series, because of his relationship, is famous in the world, especially in the western world, far surpassing the previous life. Propaganda is still an essential tool.
The focus at this stage is naturally "Remaining on a Deserted Island". After the trailer was released, this movie became the most eye-catching focus of the Christmas file. Who made its screenwriter and starring Ryan?
In particular, the character in the trailer is completely different from the past, and many media believe that this will be Ryan's work that breaks through the inherent acting skills and transformation.
Although there are a lot of movies released this year and they have achieved huge profits at the box office and derivatives, in fact, the scale of Jenkins Films has not expanded much, and the increase in staff is also extremely limited. It originally belonged to the three-story ** office of Carlock Films. The floor is still spacious and empty.
Probably inspired by the Pixar studio, Julius Stewart and Mario Casa converted the huge warehouse on the first floor into a staff paradise, which not only has a small pastry shop and a coffee shop, but also specially An exhibition area for the company’s films was established to place commemorative posters and props.
After finishing her work, Ryan did not find Natalie and the others in the editing room. I asked briefly and found them. The three girls were sitting on the rattan tables and chairs, tasting the Black Forest cake, and gesticulating at the exhibition area in front of them.
"Have you seen that necklace? It is the famous'Heart of the Sea'."
Since I was a child, I played with Kristen Stewart here. Taylor is very familiar with Jenkins Pictures. "Unfortunately, such a beautiful necklace is the big beard of James. It was synthesized by chemical means."
"And that drawing." Scarlett Johansson gave Natalie a weird smile, "That's the ** sketch drawn by Ryan for Ruth..."
"Dear Scarlett, that was drawn by James Cameron against Miss Winslet's bikini photo." Ryan picked Taylor up, regardless of the little guy's objection, put her on the other side, and then sat down. She stood beside Natalie, "Scarlett, if you talk badly behind your back, your nose will get longer."
"I didn't say anything." Scarlett stuck out her tongue playfully.
A few people are out of sight. Miss Taylor Swift touched her nose subconsciously, as if worried about the sudden lengthening.
"Want something to eat? I'll get it for you." Natalie stood up.
"Just like you."
After Natalie left, Ryan took the juice that Taylor hadn't opened, and poured himself a full glass. In return, the little girl murmured dissatisfiedly, "When did Ryan become a thief?"
After Ryan habitually rubbed her curls, Natalie brought the black forest cake and placed it in front of him, asking caringly. "You are on a diet, is it okay to eat these?"
"It won't matter if you taste it a little bit." Ryan took a small taste, and the taste was very similar to that in Pixar's restaurant. It seems that the pastry chef here has gone there to study specifically, "It tastes very good."
"It's better than what you and Nat did." Tyler wiped the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Didn't the filming of "Remains of a Deserted Island" have finished filming, why did you start dieting again?"
"Because his next role is a pianist who has been hungry for a long time, and he may even starve to death at any time." Natalie pulled Tyler to her side and carefully wiped off the remaining food scraps for her. "Wait for next year. After he returned from Europe, he might be blown to Nevada by the California sea breeze."
"Poor Ryan." Taylor showed sympathy and looked at Scarlett. "My dear, you should learn more from Ryan."
"Shut up, Alison!" Scarlett gave her a pair of white eyes directly.
"Alright alright."
Tyler jumped back into his seat, rarely sneered, but exclaimed, "It seems that it is painful to be an actor. I will be a singer obediently in the future."
"My dear, what have you been doing recently? It's been a long time since I came to see me on the set." Natalie looked at the little guy curiously. When she came to Los Angeles before, the other party would come to the crew almost the next day, but this time She visits classes significantly less frequently.
"I'm practicing." Taylor said very seriously, "Smart is a talent, not a privilege, so I have to work hard!"
Several people showed encouraging smiles at the same time, and Ryan could feel that after returning from London, although Taylor was still very naughty, he was much more restrained than before, and the number of times he came out to play was significantly reduced.
Maybe it's getting older and more sensible, or maybe the last conversation in London played a role. She really worked harder than before.
"Wait, Nat." Taylor jumped off the seat and ran to the exhibition area. "I will show you something interesting."
The little girl turned a corner, turned behind a support column, and ran back soon, with a volleyball and a poster in her hand.
When Scarlett simply cleared the table, Taylor put the volleyball and poster on it, "This is Ryan’s only companion on the desert island, and there are posters. You should have seen it, my dear brother Ryan, change Uncle Cheng Ruien."
"Still a weird uncle." Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth and snickered. "I hope your fans won't be sad because of this."
"I believe they will adapt quickly." Ryan grabbed the volleyball and looked at the red face made with his hands as props. "I can't always play the roles of Frank and Jack Dawson. ."
"This is a very wise choice." Natalie's look clearly means that you are finally on the right path.
"This is the change that must be made to win the Oscar for Best Actor." Ryan's words caused Natalie to roll her eyes unconsciously and curl her mouth to say, "Well, Ryan, in your eyes, Art always serves money and individuals, right?"
"Stop, Nat!" Ryan passed the volleyball "Wilson" directly to Natalie, "If we really want to debate, we will not have a result until today next year."
"Okay." Natalie shrugged, her little hand gestured on the red face of the volleyball, "Is this the original prop?"
"Hmm~"
Before Ryan could answer, Taylor nodded and explained the gossip she had heard to Natalie, "Wilson's face is made of Ryan's palm with red dye. This is the original prop. It is said that Wilson Company paid three million dollars to obtain the copyright of this volleyball, and the movie will be released after it is released."
"My dear, maybe I should choose you to take charge of this company." Ryan rubbed his forehead. This little guy cares too much. "Where did you hear the news?"
"I'm not telling you." Taylor wrinkled his nose and moved closer to Natalie. "Tell you a secret, Nat. "Leaves of the Deserted Island" hasn't been released yet, and half of the cost has been recovered."
When it comes to making money in movies, Natalie knows that few people in Hollywood can compare to her boyfriend.
"Will Nicole be back at the premiere?"
Soon after the North Hollywood Incident in 1997, Natalie confirmed that Nicole Kidman was disgusted with her. Because of Ryan’s relationship, she couldn’t say anything, so she simply reduced the number of meetings between the two parties as much as possible. So as not to produce unpleasantness.
In her opinion, Ryan has already become mad, and the possibility of intersection with the other party in the future will be infinitely reduced.
"No." Ryan shook his head, "The Matrix is about to be closed, Nicole has no time, and she will spend Christmas with Annie in Sydney."
"Annie?"
"Nicole's sister." Taylor explained first.
The four people chatted for a while, preparing to leave the company and return to Beverly Hills. When Taylor returned the volleyball and posters, he asked eagerly, "Ryan, can I take Mr. Wilson?"
"When I go out, I will ask someone to give you one."
Hearing Ryan's words, the little girl was not happy, but drooped her head and followed him, muttering not knowing what she was talking about.
"What's the matter, Tyler?" Natalie walked over and asked the little girl by the hand, "What are you...calculating?"
"I'm calculating how much pocket money I have. UU reading "
"Pocket money?"
"Yes, Nat." The little guy wrinkled his nose. "I heard Aunt Julis say that the original Mr. Wells will be sent to a charity auction after the New Year. This is a unique volleyball. I think Buy it."
Hearing what she said, Ryan and Natalie laughed. Tyler did converge a lot. If he changed to the previous one, he would definitely leave in his arms, no matter where there would be such a performance.
This kind of performance was also specifically for Ryan and Natalie. Ryan took her other hand and said, "I promise, my dear, Mr. Wilson will be your New Year's gift."
"Leaves of a Deserted Island" will be released soon. As in the past, Ryan handed over the work of publicity to the professionals of Jenkins Pictures, and his management team and public relations team became active again, behind the traditional media and emerging websites. , You can see their shadows.
In addition, Ryan personally invited a large number of members of the film school to participate in the premiere of the film. (To be continued...) ()
