Chapter 592： Questions about the new script

Although it is mentioned in "Finding Nemo" that the clownfish is a saltwater fish, and the cleaning and maintenance of the saltwater aquarium is troublesome and expensive, it is still popular in the United States after its release due to its high popularity. There is a boom in the purchase of pet clown fish, and many pet shops have placed this fish in the most prominent position of the store.

In cities with large populations such as New York and Los Angeles, clownfish are sold out of stock.

Faced with the sudden rise of clownfish farming among teenagers and the consequent shortage of supplies, pet shop owners in North America have seen huge business opportunities. They tried their best to contact fishmongers in the South Pacific to help them get better. Sufficient profits were made in the boom.

In North America, the price of pet clownfish has directly increased three to five times.

High profits naturally urge people's enthusiasm. In several areas near Australia, schools of clown fish have been caught and sold in large numbers for the pet demand brought about by this movie.

Fortunately, this is not about cherishing fish, otherwise there is a real possibility of extinction, but this has also attracted protests from many animal protection organizations. Some guys who love animals more than humans also ran to the Burbank Pixar studio. Sit in protest.

However, even if their protests have never stopped, in the face of huge interests, businesses will only choose to ignore them.

Ryan will certainly not let go of any opportunity to promote the movie. Disney's follow-up promotional activities have never stopped. With the help of negative or positive news, "Finding Nemo" continues to advance in the animated film market. There is an ocean boom all over the world.

In the following three weeks, the film received 45.3 million U.S. dollars, 35.6 million U.S. dollars and 19.72 million U.S. dollars in North America. In just over a month, the North American box office totaled more than 250 million U.S. dollars!

At the same time, the global box office totaled close to 500 million U.S. dollars, and regions such as South America, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Eastern Europe have just begun to show. There is still huge potential for box office to be tapped.

Like New Zealand during the time of "The Lord of the Rings", the worldwide popularity of "Finding Nemo" has driven Australia's tourism industry.

Over the course of more than a month, the tourism income of the east coast of Australia has increased by 155% over the same period. Most tourists visiting Australia want to go to the east coast of Australia to scuba dive, to find Nemo. '.

In addition, through Nicole’s relationship, the Australian Tourism Commission quickly reached an agreement with Disney to buy out the travel use copyright of "Looking for Nemo" at a high price. In the next few months, it will promote tourism and tourism in China and the United States. , Will use these clips to promote tourism in Australia.

These news were quickly learned by the media, and they are also willing to hype such news to attract attention. A famous travel magazine also wrote about it in the report.

"Are the scenic but not well-known tourist areas still worrying about the lack of tourists? Go to Ryan Jenkins, as long as he can conceive a movie related to it, these will not be a problem!"

Although these hype is a bit exaggerated, "Finding Nemo" has indeed driven Australia's tourism industry.

In addition to the film’s praise of Pixar Studios, many media also focused on Ryan, such as the "Hollywood Report."

"Think about the reason why Ryan is great, in addition to the establishment of the prestigious Jenkins Pictures and the creation of the youngest Oscar actor legend, there is also his foresighted purchase of Pixar Studios, and together with them became a 3D computer animation The pioneer, Ryan’s unique and discerning personal charm like a prophet makes people sigh! His one-handedly promoted "Toy Story" and other animation films created a precedent for 3d animation. Since then, this 3d whirlwind has swept the world, all ages, and captures. The hearts of thousands of children's parents and animation fans!"

Compared to the warm summer vacation atmosphere, during the period after "Finding Nemo" was released, Ryan almost buried himself in the data pile in addition to dating and handling necessary work.

Disney’s authorization negotiations with the Central Intelligence Agency came to a final result. The other party agreed to adapt the Iranian hostage rescue incident to a movie, but the movie must accept their relevant suggestions.

Ryan happily agreed. After all, this is almost the most classic case. It is also a masterpiece of Hollywood and the CIA. The most important thing is that the other party will not only send professional consultants throughout the filming process, but also not Charge any fees including the right of adaptation.

You must know that the 9-11 incident made the CIA become a media discussion resource. For some time, the CIA has been frequently attacked in the United States, and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security has weakened their position.

The CIA urgently needs to reshape its image in the eyes of the public. In their opinion, it is definitely a wise choice to cooperate with Ryan on the film.

This is the fact, at least on the surface, it is completely positive in this case.

After the cooperation agreement was reached, a large number of declassified materials were escorted from the headquarters of the CIA in Virginia to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. Antonio Mendez, who personally participated in the formulation and implementation of the plan that year, was escorted to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. It was also received by Ryan, and the first draft of his memoir was also handed over to Ryan.

In the past month, in addition to leading several important members of the screenwriting team to consult these materials, Ryan also talked to Antonio Mendez no less than 20 times. After all, he was going to play the nameless or otherwise. Legendary heroes will also be staged in the most incredible rescue operation-disguised as a Hollywood film crew, went to Iran to rescue the trapped Americans, and finally succeeded.

And the name of this movie was named after the name of the script bought at the time-"Argo"!

Movies are not reality, and neither Antonio Mendez understands this, and some changes and processing are also necessary.

The current Iran is undoubtedly one of the hostile countries of the United States, which determines the most basic position of the film. On this position, using some sympathetic or relatively fair perspective to treat this incident can also highlight The tolerance of a big country.

As for the opinions of the Iranians, who cares about them, it is basically impossible for Hollywood movies to enter that market anyway.

And the movie must meet the tastes of North American audiences and Hollywood. In this case, Antonio Mendez, as the protagonist, must become a lone hero living in the secret front, especially after entering Iran, he must highlight this point, personal heroism. It will never be out of date in North America and even in movies around the world.

In addition, there are also a few pig teammates, who always make trouble at critical moments, um...It seems that there is no more suitable target than the staff around the president, right?

The plot also cannot be as plain and unsurprising as the information reflected, it must be tense and exciting enough to escape from the evil armed men at the very moment of breaking out.

You can also add some Hollywood-style self-deprecation. These are also plots that audiences love to see.

Of course, the theme of the film must be clear, and the most basic political correctness must be maintained.

It took about two weeks for Ryan to determine the theme and ideas of the movie, and sorted out the outline of the script. Although some simple scenes were handed over to other screenwriters, he would complete most of the main content himself.

The Jenkins Manor was extremely quiet at night, except for the footsteps of the security personnel who frequently patrolled, almost no other sounds were heard.

On the brightly lit terrace, Ryan sat in a wicker chair. After occasionally thinking, his hands would fall on the laptop keyboard and type a line of text.

Scene: Embassy visa hall.

When the people waiting for the visa were at a loss, six Americans walked into the lobby. Their goal was the back door, where there were no Shia Iranians...

At this point, Ryan paused, thought about it for about half a minute, and then revised it again.

After the six Americans entered the lobby, the embassy assistant who knew Iranian language shouted to the Iranians who were waiting for the visa, "Evacuate the embassy building, immediately evacuate the embassy building!"

Another person helped to maintain order while saying, "Let the Iranians go first."

He pointed to the passage of the back door, "Hurry up and get out of here now!"

Scenario change: The Iranians were in front and the Americans were behind, and fled the embassy through the back door.

This kind of movie, which is deeply involved in politics, can show Great Americanism in some appropriate places. Consider it in a different way, that is, the big brother will definitely shelter the younger brother behind the ass.

Looking at the time on the laptop screen, Ryan turned off the script of the script and thought about other issues.

The most important thing is the director, the actors and the investment in props, etc., for him and Disney, it is not a problem at all. Choosing a suitable director is undoubtedly the focus of the next work.

In the past week, Ryan has brought the script outline and some drafts of Antonio Mendez's memoirs to try to contact several directors.

For example, David Fincher, who is preparing for "Terror Space", which was postponed because of the directing of "Captain America", will take over this job is still unknown.

There is also Martin Scorsese. The old Martin is really interested in this subject, but he has doubts about the cooperation with Ryan. It is not whether it can be successful, but he does not want to face such a strong actor and producer in the crew. .

Then there is Stephen Soderbergh, but this is the last choice. Now Soderbergh's filming style tends to be more experimental, and there is a clear distance from Ryan's goal.

Maybe Ben Affleck can try it?

As soon as this idea came up, Ryan himself rejected it. In that case, it would be better to find Natalie directly.

The people on his team have not only contacted these people. Anyway, the script has not been completed, and there is enough time to find a suitable director. Ryan is not too anxious, and the three main candidates have not explicitly refused until now. rs
