Chapter 487： Tacit understanding

Movies are about talking about the box office frankly. Why is it necessary to be ashamed? Ryan has never felt that film is separated from business and money, and can become a popular entertainment method around the world as it is now, and his article also does not shy away from this point.

"Film must talk about the box office. This is determined by the nature of the film. In the final analysis, film is just a cultural product that is governed by the principle of cost-benefit and meets the entertainment needs of consumers."

"Why should investors invest in a movie? Of course, it is to make money, but also to make the most money. The film is not made for self-appreciation, but to face the market and strive for the largest audience and the greatest influence. Of course, the result must be reflected in the box office. "

"Some of the recent remarks deliberately oppose the literary film and the commercial film. It seems that the literary film is contaminated with money and it is unbearable, and it loses the feeling of lofty. This is simply coy. Let me ask the back of every publicly-released literary film. The producer, really doesn’t care about the box office?"

"As for the phenomenon of'bad movies win the box office', it is more necessary for movies to have the courage to talk about the box office. The more'bad movies win the box office', the more you need to use good movies to win the box office. The reason why bad movies win the box office is not because bad movies are bad enough. , But because there are too few good movies, Hollywood needs a win-win movie like "Gladiator" at the box office and word of mouth to win the entire world film market for us!"

"Therefore, we should not focus narrowly on the disputes over money and art, and use the big-selling movies to expand the influence of Oscars and Hollywood, so as to win us the audience of the whole world. This is the first focus of the filmmakers. !"

It’s too easy for Ryan, who has experience in the previous life, to go online. He faintly compared "Gladiator" to Hollywood’s assault film in the world, and contributed a huge overseas market. But the common interest of the whole Hollywood lies.

This anonymous article is like a charge. Once it was published, many media outlets successively issued consensual remarks. After all, this is Hollywood, where business is the most important place. Money and box office were originally the greatest interests pursued by the film industry.

Art is also a banner advertised by some people. What Ryan didn’t expect was that after the publication of "Movies Must Be Confidently at the Box Office", it triggered a controversy about art and commerce across the United States. Although this controversy The duration is not long, but the scale spread rapidly, and even Fleet Street, which has always liked to join in on the other side of the Atlantic, has joined it.

However, the topic has gradually deviated from "Gladiator". To a certain extent, Ryan has achieved his goal.

The topic of Oscar nomination has just cooled down. This controversy has undoubtedly provided the media with an opportunity for hype. Even several of the most famous talk shows have discussed related topics. As for this kind of one hundred years, it may not be possible. The media doesn't care about whether the result of the argument is meaningful or not. What they care about is whether they can profit from it.

Valentine's Day is coming soon. This holiday is undoubtedly the best time for a love movie to be released. At the premiere of "Man Hundred Percent", Ryan met the long-lost Nicole Kidman, and she was talking and laughing in front of others. When he looked at him, he still had a cold face.

However, the little blond girl she was holding in her hands quickly found her. Taylor had just finished her study career in London and returned to Los Angeles.

"You are still the same?"

The little girl who used to be naughty and mischievous has gradually grown up. Although she still plays nonsense most of the time, she has become a lot more sensible, "Is there anything I need to do?"

"My dear, you just need to stand aside and watch." Ryan rubbed the girl's curls fondly, and took her hand again, "There are things you shouldn't know about."

Although he grew up a little bit, Tyler was still a girl, and some of the silent understanding between him and Nicole shouldn't be known to her big mouth.

"After returning to Los Angeles, I found it was so boring."

Taylor followed Ryan to a quiet corner, complaining about the recent boring life, "When I was in London, at least Emma was with me, now? Christine went to film a new scene, Nat Yuan At Harvard, Nicole’s newly-accepted goddaughter is still a naughty bag who can only cry. Even the fat girl Scarlett went to Europe to film "The Princess Diaries"..."

"Oh, God." She covered her forehead like Nicole. "Scarlett Johansson can become a princess. It's incredible..."

"Okay, dear." Ryan knew she was just complaining to herself on purpose, "If you are bored, you can come to me anytime."

This is the Valentine's Day highlight event jointly launched by Jenkins Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox. The premiere attracted many celebrities. When Paris Hilton walked into the theater, Taylor immediately found suitable playmates. These two The guys who like to make trouble, sometimes there are many common topics.

Not long after it was quiet, Drew brought a black-haired girl who was only five feet long.

"Ryan..." Drew was not polite to him, pointing to the second floor, "I need your help for something, let's go to the upstairs lounge to talk."

"Hi, Ryan."

Shaking the hand extended by the black-haired girl, Ryan greeted the girl star who became famous at the same time, "Hello, Christine"

Although they are not familiar with each other, they are not unfamiliar. Christina Rich is one of the child stars who became famous at the same time.

Turning around the corner on the second floor, because Drew obviously had something to talk about, Ryan deliberately chose a lounge in the back, so that there is no need to worry about other people being disturbed.

After entering the lounge and sitting down, Ryan looked directly at Drew, and she looked at Christina Rich and said, "Ryan, Christine just participated in the audition for the "Devil Head" you invested in. Yes……"

"Hilby." Christina Rich took over.

Ryan was still looking at Drew, seeing her blinking and saying, "Christine, as long as there is no problem with the audition."

They are all people who have been in Hollywood for more than ten years. Some things needless to say are too direct. Christina Ritchie understands that as long as she can reach above the level during the audition, this role should be her own.

After thanking Ryan and Drew, seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, Christina Ricci hurriedly left.

"When are you willing to help others?" Ryan ran on purposely because they were all old friends.

"In 1989, Christine and I met." Drew smiled, seemingly not serious, "There are always some friendships from my childhood."

"Didn't you say that the friends you made when you were young are sometimes more precious." She added.

"Okay, Drew." Ryan knew that she must have something to pull herself to the second floor. "Just say something directly."

"Just yesterday." Drew looked back at the closed door subconsciously. "The people from Disney contacted me and wanted to buy the Pixar share in my hand."

"Do you have Pixar shares?" Ryan couldn't help but wonder.

"Ah... that's it." Drew explained with a smile, "This was bought when Pixar first went public in 1995, and it was only 0.4%."

"I didn't expect you to believe in Pixar so much." Ryan joked.

"I don't believe in Pixar." Drew held up the baby face with his hand. "I believe in your eyes. Later, I bought Blizzard Entertainment stock. I am planning to invest in Blue Sky Studio next month."

Then, the playfulness on her face disappeared, and she said very solemnly, "Ryan, they must have been in contact with other Pixar shareholders. I heard that you and Pixar's management are now in conflict..."

"It's just some differences in work." Ryan lowered his eyes. "It's not too sharp a contradiction."

Disney's actions are not concealed. This kind of acquisition depends more on strength and opportunity, and they have obviously not made any effort yet.

"Be careful with Disney and Michael Eisner." Drew shook Ryan's hand firmly, "I don't want to see my friend being kicked out of Hollywood."

Ryan smiled and nodded. After Drew Barrymore walked out, he slowly walked outside the door.

Who was kicked out of Hollywood, and how can it be known until the last minute?

Just stepping out of the lounge, a slight sound of high heels falling from the corner was heard, and then Ryan's eyelids were reflected in the red long hair and unusually tall figure.

When there were five feet, Nicole Kidman suddenly stopped opposite.

She looked at Ryan coldly, without any expression on her face, only the pair of beating pale blue eyes, showing that her heart is definitely not as calm as her appearance.

"Nicole..."

Ryan had just stepped out and heard the soft, cold voice of the Australian girl, "I'm still angry."

Spreading his hands, Ryan slowly walked closer, and Nicole's voice was as subtle as it was squeezing through his teeth, "Are you sure you want to do this? Aren't you afraid that I will drag you into hell?"

"I believe you."

"But I don't believe you Hearing this, Ryan scratched his head helplessly, but Ni may say so, that at least she has gotten rid of her anger and hysteria.

"With billions of dollars worth of net worth, let me dispel my anger. Should I be moved, Ryan?" Her face almost reached Ryan's eyes. "Unexpectedly, I not only taught a bastard, but also taught me. A fool!"

"Nicole, it's more than that." Ryan believed she could understand her intentions.

"From today, don't meet me, and George..."

As she said, she glanced at the bodyguard who was guarding the corner, turned and left, "If we disappear even the most basic understanding, there will be no need to see you again in the future."

Although he wanted to catch up, Ryan knew that for the future, staying here was the wisest choice.

After the movie started, Ryan walked down to the second floor. Even when he entered the theater, his eyes were not placed on the big screen. Now everything is gradually on track, just waiting for the opportunity to come. rs()
