Chapter 574: To make money after all

No matter how flashy and vanity the party is, the people participating in the party always have a certain spirit of integrity on their faces. Those grand or subtle emotions can always be controlled just right. Everyone is well dressed, expecting people to feel it. Their temptation, if you have the heart, can even see the stigma of war and politics, the colors of popular culture and fashion in them.

This is the Vanity Fair party of the Oscar night. In the outside world, it is synonymous with drunken fans, like a mirror, which contains everything about Hollywood.

Whether it is an anti-war or a supporter of the war, after sitting in the same theater, they will also appear at this party. As for the life and death of Iraqi civilians in the war, how many people on both sides will really care?

Compared to Iraq, they hope to congratulate the best actress tonight, and by the way have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins who is standing next to her, so that the future development in Hollywood will definitely be smoother.

Even if you missed the awards, you can also star in those high-return commercial movies. A small supporting role in "Captain America" ​​turned the previously unknown Ryan Gosling into a popular star, and the pay has soared to the point. Eight million U.S. dollars; a series of "X-Men", which brought Hugh Jackman to the throne of the first-line star, and Universal paid 18 million U.S. dollars for his new film...

And that Orlando Bloom, besides being a little more handsome, what else? But through the "Lord of the Rings", it is said to be shooting another big production trilogy series.

Ryan seems to have infinite resources in his hands, but unfortunately the lucky ones are extremely limited, and they all want to be the next.

It's just that after spending more than ten minutes at the party, Ryan can't remember how many strange faces he has shook hands with. If it hadn't been for Nicole to come here enthusiastically, I'm afraid he would not be here.

"Okay, dear." Ryan pulled her arm, and Nicole, who was talking with someone, turned her head. "Is there a problem?".

"We should go back." He pointed to the watch on his hand.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Nicole quickly turned her head and said to the person opposite, taking Ryan's arm and snatching the best actress statuette in his hand, "Okay, Let's go home quickly, Alison is still waiting at home."

"She should complain again."

Enter the elevator, go directly to the parking lot, the driver and bodyguards have been waiting here. Ryan and the two got in the car and left the Hilton Hotel.

It's been half an hour since I got home, and just walked into the villa, Taylor ran over and gave Nicole a big hug.

"Congratulations, Nicole." The little girl took the little golden man in Nicole's hand, and when she took her to the living room, she didn't forget to turn her head and sway Ryan, "This is Nicole's first Two Best Actresses. Dear Ryan, when will you get your second Best Actress?"

"A few years later." Ryan walked into the living room and replied casually.

Strictly speaking, he took the actor or queen three times in a row. Even if it is based on the balance of the cake, it is difficult for the college to consider him in a short time.

Unless there is a role like Forrest Gump that not only conforms to the mainstream, but also allows actors to shine.

I've already taken it once anyway. Ryan is no longer in a hurry, and the time will be long.

"Nicole, you didn't thank me."

Waiting for Nicole to sit on the sofa. Taylor hugged her like a little girl begging for candy, "I helped you too. I once told George, Stephen, and James, if they don’t vote for you, I’ll take them All his beards are shaved."

"Honey, do you want the reporter to turn you out now?" Nicole pushed her back and said to Ryan, who hung up her coat, "Honey, pour me a glass of water."

"Coffee or black tea?"

"Clear water will do."

Bringing three glasses of water and placing them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Ryan took Nicole's golden figure from Taylor, opened the glass showcase and placed it in the center of a pile of trophies.

It contains a variety of film awards from Europe, Hollywood and Australia, among which the most important are naturally the two Oscars for best actress statuettes.

"In a few years..."

Taylor also came over, looked at the large and small trophies in the showcase with his arms folded, and said with a pouting, "I must have collected more phonographs than these."

"Do you need me to hold a celebration party for you?". Ryan rubbed her braided blond curly hair, "It's getting late, you should go to rest, dear."

"Okay." The little girl nodded, and when she walked up the stairs, she turned her head and said deliberately, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you."

Afterwards, Ryan and Nicole also went back to the second floor. After a busy night, they were indeed a little tired.

"Are you leaving Los Angeles again?"

After Nicole came out of the shower, she found Ryan in her pajamas and was checking the schedule, "About how long?"

"It's hard to tell, it depends on the specific shooting situation." Ryan put down the file and clapped Nicole who was standing in front of the bed. "Come here, dear."

The pale blue eyes turned upwards, and Nicole circled around, walked to the other side of the bed, sat cross-legged on it, and then asked for Ryan's schedule and scanned it roughly.

"Going to so many places for shooting?" She frowned.

"This is the final chapter of George's Star Wars." Ryan put the goose down quilt on her. "He definitely wants to make something better. A few days ago, George even told me that he wanted to retire. ."

"This series has made George, but also restricted George." Nicole returned the schedule, tilted his body, and lay in his arms. "Is he really willing to retire?"

"It's just this intention." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "It is estimated that if it is implemented, it will take at least five years from now."

Nicole moved a bit and found a more comfortable position. "When I went to Disney a few days ago, I heard Robert said that you are in contact with the Chinese side and want to hold a premiere for "The Return of the King" in China?"

"Yes." Ryan turned to kiss her on the cheek, "You know, Nicole, I had this idea when "Captain America" ​​was released, but it didn't come true. Now "The Return of the King" has passed them The approval over there can be released at the same time, and the North American market has gone through the first two films, and there is no need to spend too much effort in publicity. I want to use this film to further open the Chinese market so that the audience over there can see What is a real big production."

Sniffing Nicole’s hair, he clamped a strand of blond hair between his fingers, and he continued, “I want them to understand, a movie like "Hero". There is nothing in front of "The Return of the King". Chinese movie fans look for Jenkins Films and Ryan Jenkins as the name, it is best to form a huge brand effect."

The advantages of the first mover are huge, and if you wait until the next few years, the previously established advantages will not be left.

However, Nicole is the person who knows him best after all, pointing to the essence of the matter, "My dear, there is no need to explain in such a detailed way. After all, I just go there to make money."

"I never denied this." Ryan said of course, "I also want to talk to their government about Disney's amusement park project by the way."

Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. After a few years, the relationship between the two sides of the Pacific will become cold, and it will definitely be more troublesome.

What Ryan wants to do is simple. Strive for the greatest benefit for yourself at the most suitable opportunity.

The world situation was turbulent this year, and China was also unstable, and ** also appeared.

originally. Ryan considered canceling the premiere, but only through Disney's Far East branch did he know that, although the ** had been raging for a while. But the situation is far less serious than in the previous life. Especially after the World Health Organization took the lead in issuing a travel alert internationally, the other side had to release information to the public and take relevant measures early to curb widespread dissemination. The result was caused by the epidemic. The impact is far less than the previous life.

In mid-March, the World Health Organization cancelled the relevant alert.

The Iraq War started for a few days, and the Oscars ceremony was held as scheduled. No matter how fierce the fighting between the coalition forces and Iraq is, Hollywood is still singing and dancing, and the entertainment version will not be stingy, and still report on this event on a large scale.

There is not much space about Nicole, and she won the best actress with little controversy.

The biggest controversy comes from the best director.

"Martin Scorsese is lost again! Martin Scorsese is completely lost!"

"Patience with humiliation, the hero should be declining..."

Such sympathetic remarks are pervasive in the entertainment pages of major media, and there are even some people who are more sympathetic to the old Martin, claiming that this is another teasing of Martin Scorsese by the college.

However, these have become a foregone conclusion, and one of the four major directors needs to accumulate in order to win.

Ryan will go to Tunisia to join the crew after finishing some work and continue the filming of "The Revenge of the Sith".

What he pays attention to, first of all, is the box office of several films released on the Thanksgiving Christmas file last year.

"Captain America" ​​is obviously not strong enough after the initial enthusiasm It was sold off in North America as early as February, and it won a total of US$288.9 million in the North American box office, plus the overseas releases. In the region, the total box office has exceeded 450 million U.S. dollars. According to Marvel Comics’ estimates, the final global box office will be around 600 million U.S. dollars.

The box office of this movie can barely recover the cost, but it has driven a large amount of sales around it. In the past few months, only comics about Captain America, Black Widow, and Wolverine have been sold in Europe and the United States. One million U.S. dollars.

The situation is similar to "Harbi Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". The box office of this film in North America has dropped a lot from the first one, and it received about 280 million US dollars, but the bulk of its revenue has always come from the surrounding areas.

A successful movie can often rescue a company in difficulty. "Shrek" is undoubtedly a typical example. Behind its North American box office of more than 270 million US dollars, it is the same hot peripheral products.

In less than half a year, DreamWorks Animation Studio not only recovered the cost, but also achieved huge profits. The production of the second part had already begun.

If time can turn back, the Big Three of DreamWorks will certainly not easily transfer so many shares to Ryan. (To be continued...) ()
