Chapter 352： December

After entering December, as popular movies were released one after another, the market competition became more and more fierce. Although "Blade Warrior" won nearly 28 million US dollars in the second week of the box office, it did not keep the box office leader's throne, 40 million. U.S. dollar investment is obviously not competitive when faced with a super giant system of 130 million U.S. dollars.

The success of "** Day" made Roland Emmerich, like Michael Bay, one of the hottest commercial film directors. Sony Columbia Pictures saw this and spent huge amounts of money. He served as the director of "Godzilla".

Sony Columbia Pictures is clearly confident in the monsters from the island country. Not only did it hire a director who specializes in special effects, but it also paid $130 million in production costs and more than $50 million in promotional and marketing expenses. Obviously, it wanted To use this to completely turn around, change the situation in the seven major Hollywood studios, which is only slightly better than MGM.

The film did not disappoint Sony Columbia Pictures in its first week. With a box office of more than $44 million, it not only firmly occupies the top position of the weekly box office rankings, but also brought a little monster craze.

Sony Columbia Pictures naturally hopes that "Godzilla" will continue to be hot. If it can cause a continuous sensation like "Jurassic Park 2", it would be ideal. Even if the box office alone cannot be profitable in North America, how can it be? Should the cost be recovered?

However, most people in the Hollywood industry are watching this movie. Firstly, Godzilla is a foreign object. Secondly, one week after the release of "Godzilla", Ryan Jenkins' latest masterpiece "Remains of a Deserted Island" 》Will be fully landed on North American theaters!

The reaction of the North American film market after entering the 1990s fully proved one thing. Whether it is a monster or an alien, when facing Ryan Jenkins, they are all vulnerable...

Out of the Disney office building, Gene drove back home. Before you know it. He has been working at Disney for four years, watching Walt Disney and his idol with his own eyes. From a close cooperative relationship, it became a competitor.

No matter how Walt Disney changes, his support for Ryan has not been shaken.

Back home, had dinner with his father who made a special trip to Los Angeles to visit him. He simply cleaned the table and went back upstairs to change his formal clothes.

"Dad, I got the tickets, we should go now."

Hearing his son's words, Old Gene smiled brilliantly, "Hurry up. This is the first time I have participated in a movie premiere."

Leaving Burbank. Gene's car drove into Hollywood and drove several laps near the Chinese Theater, but did not find a suitable parking lot, so he drove further.

"Too many people come to see the red carpet." He explained to his father.

"I know. Ryan..." Old Gene showed a clear look. "Your father hasn't become an antique yet. He knows who Ryan Jenkins is. Not only you young people like his movies, but our age. People like it the same."

Finally found a suitable parking lot. Although it was a little far away from the Chinese Theater, it was still early, so just walk over.

"Dad, how do you watch this movie?" The father and son talked about the upcoming movie as they walked to the theater.

"I don't know, the trailer doesn't see too much." Old Gene shook his head and said suddenly with certainty, "But I believe Ryan, his movies have always been synonymous with greatness."

"I believe him too." Gene clenched his fists.

"In the eyes of you guys, he is your God." Although Old Jean, like most people in this country, likes the young man very much, he is not crazy yet, "You worship him too much. "

"Ryan is worthy of our admiration." Gene opened his hands to his father and began to tell the basic things. "He is kind, humble, and possesses talent and talent, but at the same time he has never given up on his efforts, even if he now has billions of wealth. I can't think of anyone more suitable to represent the American Dream than him."

Old Gene nodded unconsciously.

When he came to the red carpet of the Chinese Theater, Gene found that there were too many people gathered on both sides. At this time, he couldn't get a position slightly forward. In fact, he had no plans to squeeze in the past. If he wants to be in Ryan The premiere occupies the front row of the red carpet, and I am afraid I will be lining up here since last night.

At this moment, screams that could almost cover the entire Hollywood area erupted around the red carpet. There was no need to look. Gene also knew that Ryan must have been on the red carpet.

He raised his head and glanced at the giant movie poster hanging above the theater. It was a mature face that had experienced vicissitudes of life.

Through the gap between the crowds, I saw Ryan himself again. On the firm face of the youth sunshine, there was a warm and kind smile, and the characters on the movie posters were completely two people.

Like everyone standing on both sides of the red carpet, Gene always believes that Ryan can play every role even if it is difficult.

"Let's go in?"

When Old Gene nodded, Gene couldn't wait to take his father into the screening hall from another entrance, waiting for the movie to begin.

Ryan answered a few questions from the reporter casually, turned around and walked into the theater. As soon as he entered, he saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow standing near the door, seeming to be making a special trip. Wait for him.

"Hi Leon, Gwyneth."

After greeting the two, Ryan deliberately asked in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Leon, how does it feel to be a superstar and a Golden Globe nomination?"

With "Shakespeare in Love", Leonardo won a Golden Globe nomination for best comedy actor.

"It's awesome." Leonardo obviously knew that Ryan was joking, and also used an exaggerated tone. "You know, Ryan, those models look at me crazier than before."

Ryan patted Leonardo on the arm and turned to the blonde in a moon-white dress. "It's been a long time, Gwyneth."

"Yeah, Gwynne has been very busy. The last time we had a party, she refused my invitation."

Probably after seeing Ryan, Drew Barrymore came over. Her attitude towards Gwyneth Paltrow was far less intimate than that of Girls’ Generation. "Congratulations, Gwyne, Golden Globe for Best Nominated for a comedy heroine."

"Thank you!" Gwyneth's chin curled up slightly.

Ryan heard people say that in 1996, the two women had a big quarrel over the issue of the shares of Flower Pictures, and in the end they even alarmed their godfather Spielberg. In the end, Gwyneth just did something. Small shareholders have no right to speak.

Drew suddenly lowered his voice, "If the godfather and Uncle Paltrow are willing to come forward, maybe you will get the Golden Globe."

It sounded like she was mocking Gwyneth Paltrow, but she was actually helping her former sisters.

Gwyneth Paltrow's eyes flickered. As a Hollywood actress from a family, how could she not understand? Needless to say, the father will definitely help, but the godfather's meaning is not very clear.

"Sorry, I have other things."

Although his position is biased towards Drew, Ryan is not interested in the grievances between the two women, "You guys continue to talk."

"Forget it, I'll go to Paris and Scarlett." Drew took the lead.

"Ryan." Leonardo suddenly approached and whispered, "After the New Year, Victoria's Secret has an event in New York. It is said that there will be many newly signed models appearing.

"Say it then." Ryan waved his hand.

The party before the premiere is much the same, Ryan greets people as he walks, and occasionally stops to talk with people.

"Ryan, we should put "Mission Impossible 2" on the agenda." It was Shirley Lansing.

Although "Mission: Impossible" is still far from the next stage, the filmmakers will not miss the chance of a sequel to such an obviously profitable movie.

"Jenkins Pictures is making preparations." Ryan stopped and said briefly, "I have asked Julis to find a suitable director."

In fact, Baige Wu has agreed to be the director of the second episode of this series.

If the second episode can be successful, Baige Wu will further improve his status and gain more rights. It is impossible to say that the next movie will still have the final editing rights.

By the way, his next movie seems to be "The Wind Whisperer", right?

Ryan scratched his head. He couldn't remember which company made this movie, but he would definitely make investors lose the urge to jump on the Golden Gate Bridge.

"Hi, Ryan, what are you thinking about?"

A slender white hand was placed on his arm, Ryan turned his head, and the person here was Charlize Theron.

"I'm wondering if Tarzan can defeat Godzilla." Ryan joked.

"By the way, Ryan, maybe you can give some advice."

As he walked towards the quiet place, Charlize Theron said, "Director Peter Jackson sent an audition invitation to my agent."

"he?"

Ryan was a little surprised Peter Jackson has decided to let Cate Blanchett play Kellan Trell.

"Yes." Charlize Theron nodded seriously and explained, "He invited me to audition for Arwen Dusk."

"Arwen?" Ryan couldn't help looking at Charlize's blond hair.

Well, it’s too easy for a blonde to turn into black hair and gray eyes, but why did Peter Jackson choose her as one of the candidates? It doesn’t seem to be the case in the previous life?

"This New Zealand fat man." Ryan shook his head subconsciously and muttered, "I haven't given me a reply from Aragon so far. It seems I need to put some pressure on him.

He was about to show the authority of investors and producers on the basis of respecting the director, Charlize Theron's surprised voice sounded, "Aragon? Are you going to play Aragon?"

"Uh..." Ryan quickly returned to his senses, "This is just my unilateral wish. Director Peter Jackson hasn't agreed yet." ()
