Chapter 422： Stupid Group of 4

"where are we going?"

Seeing the commercial vehicle driving out of the studio, Taylor asked curiously, "Didn't you just come back from Northampton?"

"My dear, are you going back to the hotel? Or go to the airport with me?" Although Taylor's mother did not follow, Ryan had a special housekeeper to take care of her in the presidential suite reserved for her at the Hilton Hotel.

As for the car and driver to pick her up, George arranged it alone. As long as she doesn't make trouble, safety and life are not a problem at all.

"What are you going to do to the airport?" The little girl realized that she had asked a silly question, and immediately changed her words, "Who is it going to pick up? Is Nicole here, or Nat has come to London?"

The person Ryan picked up at the airport was neither Nicole nor Natalie. Not long after the business car stopped at Heathrow Airport, Chen Jiazheng, Darren Bowsman and other four people, under the guidance of George’s phone call, found Here.

"Wow, our treatment is not even enjoyed by the President of the United States and the Secretary-General of the United Nations." After the most active Reese got on the commercial car, he made a strange call, "Our dear Ryan Jenkins came to pick up the person in person. It's an honor."

"Shut up, Reese." David pushed him, after all, this is not when their classmates are alone, there are bodyguards here, "You don't talk, no one treats you as an egg."

"Is there an ugly egg like Reese in the world?" Taylor curled his lips in disdain.

"Hi, Tyler, you have grown taller again..."

"Wow, our lovely princess has grown up..."

Four people greeted her, and Taylor also showed a warm smile. "Hello, idiot group of four!"

Stupid Foursome? Chen Jiazheng and Darren Bosman looked at each other. It seems that the four of them are the best batch of students at the Film Academy of Southern California, right?

"Naughty." Ryan flicked the little girl's forehead lightly.

Then, he looked at Chen Jiazheng, "Chen, have you found a partner for the entrusted matter?"

"Yes." Chen Jiazheng nodded solemnly, and after Ryan made an okay gesture, he continued, "We are through Mr. Xu Ligong's relationship. We contacted a Chinese film company, and the other party has a stronger relationship. The current company’s head of China is currently negotiating with them."

"Ryan, will China's film market really show explosive growth?" He asked again.

"It won't take a few years for you to see its potential." Ryan didn't elaborate, and any words could not be more convincing than facts. "I will let Mario pay attention to the progress of things, this time thank you very much."

This kind of negotiation, if there is an authentic Chinese as a bridge, although it will not be a harmonious group, it should always be more convenient.

"Ryan, do you really want to choose a Chinese actor for Zhang Qiu?" Darren Bowsman knew a little.

"I will answer for Ryan." Tyler raised his hand. Seeing that Ryan had no objection, he deliberately pretended to be an adult, "Because I want to use this candidate to open up the entire Chinese market for the Harry Potter series."

"I'm right, Ryan?" She smiled and looked over.

"My dear. Maybe it's the biggest mistake not to let you play Miss Know-How." Ryan also knows. She and the tomboy spend a lot of time wandering around in Jenkins Pictures. The degree of gossip of the two little guys, plus the fact that the entire company has no restricted area for them, always get a lot of news.

"Oh, now you can't make up for this mistake." Taylor shook the golden retriever and said seriously, "Emma is now my friend. If I steal her role, she will definitely be very sad, so I decided to give up Hermione Granger forever."

Although many friendships cannot last a lifetime, they need to be cherished while they still exist. This is one of the most beautiful feelings of mankind.

The little girl who has always been naughty and can understand the preciousness of friends, Ryan felt very pleased and rubbed Taylor's head affectionately.

Then he asked the other four people, "Have you thought about it, do you want to go to the "Gladiator" crew or the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" crew?"

"Of course it is "Gladiator"." They made the choice without hesitation, Darren Bousman explained, "We will not choose family carnival movies as our own path in the future."

"Actually, after shooting last year's short film, we had an idea for a new movie." David, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and Reese next to him continued, "We plan to cooperate again after graduation this year to produce a new film. A horror movie."

"Ketchup or something, it's the most annoying." Tyler stuck out his tongue at them.

The four of them didn't mind, Reese continued, "Darren really wants to use more tomato sauce."

"To be precise, he wants internal organs and severed limbs to fly everywhere..." Chen Jiazheng just said here, and saw Taylor making a grimace, and quickly shut his mouth, "Sorry, let's talk about it on another occasion."

"I've seen "Reaper Is Here", it's no big deal."

As soon as Tyler finished speaking, he was picked up by Ryan and sent to George. Mr. Bodyguard took the headset and put it on her ear, "Listen to what song?"

"Ryan's childhood album..."

Ryan and others no longer care about the people in front, and can speak freely without the presence of minors.

"A few of us have recently watched horror films from all over the world and have some new ideas." Darren Bousman said while considering the wording, "Just like Chen said, we plan to shoot a traditional movie. The American horror films of the past are still very **** ones."

Nodded, Ryan made a continue gesture.

"We plan to design some special machinery and mechanisms, and then, like a game of clearance, let people be tested, and those who fail to pass will die. The methods of death will be varied and very bloody..."

Listening to Darren Bosman's words, Ryan couldn't help but have a strong sense of immediate sight. The movie of the organ killing show, right?

"What about the script?" Ryan asked.

"We are only preliminary planning, and the script will only be written recently." said David, who is good at writing scripts among the four. "The movie will be completed in a few small scenes. We need to control the cost."

"Speak up if you need it." Ryan nodded.

Now he doesn't even have the most basic script, and he doesn't have much to say. If it is really similar to some movies in the previous life, he can also make some comments.

These four people will graduate from the USC Film Academy this summer. Chen Jiazheng is determined to return to China after accumulating enough experience. The other three people, under the influence of Darren Bosman, gradually become interested in horror films. With their identities as pure newcomers like graduates of USC, it may be a good choice to practice in low-cost horror films.

After sending the four of them to the hotel where the Northampton "Gladiator" crew stayed, Ryan returned to London. Now he is more trained as a gladiator, and it will take some time before the official filming.

Back at the Hilton Hotel, Ryan had dinner with Taylor and went to the presidential suite on the top floor. He took care of the work at hand, and the little girl had time for her routine instrument practice.

Taylor was sitting in front of the black piano, pressing the black and white keys earnestly, and the music that popped up was not so smooth. Compared with the guitar and banjo, her piano attainments can only be described as just getting started.

"There were **** errors in the first, third and fifth bars."

Ryan's appreciation level was still there, and after the little girl had finished playing for a while, she immediately pointed out her mistakes.

"I just started to practice this piece. It's normal to make mistakes." Taylor wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction. "You guy who throws the music away will make mistakes if you come over and play now."

"Well, you go on." Ryan raised his head and returned to the back of the laptop.

This is the latest box office report from Jenkins Pictures, focusing on "Reaper is Coming", "Toy Story 2" and "The Pianist".

Although "Reaper Is Coming" won more than 30 million US dollars in the box office in the first week, the genre cannot be as popular as a commercial production. The box office in the next few weeks has been showing a state of plummeting, and finally it is offline in North America At the time, the box office of more than 110 million US dollars was enough to make Tom Hanks and Jenkins Pictures profitable. If you add the overseas market that is still in theaters, it can be described as a big sale compared to investment. Not an exaggeration.

"Toy Story 2" was officially downgrade in North America this week. Although a little more than $300 million is still far from the box office of "Star Wars 1", it is enough to overwhelm other movies and become the North American box office last year. Runner-up in the leaderboard.

It is also popular overseas, and the current global box office has exceeded $500 million.

As for "The Pianist", shortly after it landed in North America, it was released in Europe one after another. Both North American film critics and European media gave this film unanimous praise, but it couldn't change the awkward situation of the film's applause. .

Even though Ryan’s appeal drove the North American box office in the first week, the slow pace and cold atmosphere of the film meant that it could only be a niche movie. Starting from the second week, the film’s The box office is tepid, and there are no more than 800 theaters in North America.

If you only talk about investment and the box office ratio, this is definitely a movie that hits the street. Even if the starring role is called Ryan Jenkins, it still cannot save it from the box office.

So far, the film has been released in North America for more than a month, and it has only won a box office of less than 30 million U.S. dollars. Together with the European regions that have already been shown, the global box office has been close to 50 million U.S. dollars. This is also a small comfort.

Of course, Ryan had already anticipated this situation, and it was unrealistic to expect "The Pianist" to make money.

In the following week, in addition to handling some tasks through satellite phones and the Internet, Ryan devoted most of his energy to the training of gladiators. The swordsmanship training and the shooting experience of the Lord of the Rings in the past year gave him a huge help. Gradually Found a state belonging to the gladiator.

However, just before the filming of his part started, unexpected news came from the North American side. (To be continued.
