Chapter 605： Explosive genius

As the "World of Warcraft" that pushed Blizzard Entertainment to its peak, it is one of the few games that Ryan has played in his previous life. Unfortunately, his level is indeed not very good. But this series has an inseparable relationship with him. The game is after all Adapted from the serial novel he wrote at the beginning.

This series, which was once serialized on "Vanity Fair", is far less sensational than "Harry Potter", but it is equally attractive, especially from the eyes of Hollywood producers.

As early as when "Warcraft" was on sale, people in the industry had contacted him and wanted to get the right to adapt the movie.

Ryan certainly would not agree. Although there are very few successful game adaptations into movies, and even if there are occasional winners, there are few big-selling genres, but when "World of Warcraft" set off a game frenzy on a global scale, the movie can always Attract some audiences.

After seeing this game that is very similar to the previous life, Ryan is also considering the possibility of film adaptation.

It’s different from the previous world view of Blizzard’s contradictory changes and changes. Because of the adaptation of his novel, the "Warcraft" series of games have a complete history, and several key heroes were challenged in "Reign of Chaos" and "Ice Throne" The shaping of the game is excellent. The names of Illidan Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind, Sylvanas Windrunner and Alsace Menethil are all widely circulated among game fans. Movies are not games. It is impossible to use a large space to create a pile of screen images. There must be trade-offs. If you want to succeed, you must erect a certain hero or a small team such as the Fellowship team to become the absolute protagonist. .

As for the appropriate choice, Thrall, Anduin Lothar, Varian Wrynn, and Arthas Menethil are all highly adaptable.

Thrall is fine. This is a movie. If the protagonist is a green-skinned orc, it will definitely become a tragedy.

Among them, Ryan is most inclined to Alsace Menethil. The prince of the human race possessed all the good qualities when he appeared on the stage, but in the end he fell into a puppet of the Lich King. Whether it is the change of identity role, or the mental journey experienced during the period. Both are very suitable to be the protagonist on the screen.

In the face of light and darkness, in the face of redemption and slaughter, a person's heart is constantly struggling. Isn't this a very good subject?

You can consider shooting into a trilogy series. If the movie is successful, you can even disassemble the characters and shoot a separate movie.

Of course, now is not the right time. The game has not yet come out, epic themes continue to appear one after another, and will bring relative aesthetic fatigue, if you shoot in a short time, it will undoubtedly increase the risk of failure. It's better to wait for Blizzard Entertainment to launch this game first. Their plan is to start commercial operations in the first half of the year, but with the tradition of Blizzard's ticket skipping, it would be nice to achieve this goal in the second half.

In the past few years, the Vivendi Group from France has always wanted to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, until after they bought Universal Pictures heavily. Only gradually gave up this plan, and with the full recovery of the IT industry, Blizzard Entertainment, whether in terms of performance or the Nasdaq stock market. The performance is extremely good.

This rising star is moving towards the ranks of the top gaming giants.

After shooting "Argo", Ryan is relatively less busy. There is no need to shoot every day, and a lot of practice during breaks to find the feeling of the role.

And the time before Christmas is not only the hot schedule for movies, but also the most active time period for Hollywood celebrities. Pull-ups, premieres, public relations parties and charity events are constantly being held. It is simply dizzying and gives the media a lot of news that can be written.

As one of the most well-known and richest people in Hollywood. Ryan also inevitably participates in some activities, except for the premiere of old friends. Naturally, they will donate generously at the charity auction.

"Tiffany Pink Diamond Necklace, the reserve price is 1 million US dollars!" The auctioneer in formal attire briefly introduced the next lot and shouted vigorously.

This is a charity auction held by the Hollywood Business Association at the Four Seasons Hotel. Unlike charity dinners convened by individuals, many businesses have responded to this activity to rescue hungry children in Africa. Some luxury brands have also put up some classic works for auction.

On the table left in the front row, Taylor, in a purple evening dress, approached and muttered a few words, Ryan raised the number plate.

"Mr. Jenkins bid 1.5 million dollars!"

"Is there anyone increasing the fare?"

The auctioneer yelled twice, but no one raised the placard again and dropped the hammer directly, "Thank you Mr. Jenkins for giving generously to the poor children in Africa."

Ryan smiled and nodded slightly.

"It's so boring."

Different from the appearance of good manners, Taylor leaned in front of Ryan and whispered, "It's not like an auction at all, and there are no people competing."

"My dear." Ryan laughed. "Isn't it all about charity auctions."

Soon, someone sent the packaged pink diamond necklace. After Tyler put it away, Ryan waved his hand, and John on the table behind sent a check.

"This is your birthday present."

After the other party left, Ryan stopped taking care of the auctions below, and whispered, "Let's open it."

Tyler opened it and took a look, and quickly put it into the bag on one side, "Thank you, my dear brother."

The auction lasted for more than half an hour and raised a total of more than 23 million US dollars in charity. As for how much help the money can bring to the African region, it is not what people in the banquet hall care about.

The auction is only part of the dinner. In fact, this kind of charity party will definitely evolve into a social party in the end.

After contributing a check, Ryan has also fulfilled the purpose of this trip. Faced with the people who came to say hello in succession, he simply chose to leave early.

After leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, the latest customized Rolls-Royce Phantom has been waiting at the door of the hotel.

After getting in the car, Ryan asked Tyler who was sitting next to him, "Are you going home?"

"Go to your manor." The girl took out the necklace she had just photographed from her bag, tried it on briefly, and put it away again, "I always receive a lot of gifts every year."

"In a few years, you will have no privileges." Ryan gestured to the rearview mirror, Rolls-Royce headed towards Beverly Hills, and he raised the baffle, "You will Being in love, having a boyfriend, these have become his privileges."

"Oh okay……"

Tyler whispered in a low voice, her bright sapphire blue eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, she turned her head, put her chin on her hand and looked out of the car, silently saying no more.

"Did something happen?" Ryan couldn't help being a little strange.

"No……"

The girl shook her head vigorously and turned back slowly, "I just think that time is really fast. I grow up and you are getting old."

"Growing old?" Ryan rubbed his face subconsciously, "Honey, isn't it that serious?"

He knew that as he got older, Taylor would inevitably have his own thoughts and secrets that he didn't want to share with others, so he stopped asking, and simply said to himself, "I'm only twenty-four years old."

According to the psychological age, he is indeed old enough, but he has always maintained a young enough heart so that he can have the greatest vitality and motivation.

"But when I am twenty years old, you will indeed grow old." Taylor returned to his original appearance.

After speaking, she laughed herself first, and Ryan flicked her forehead lightly, and when she caused the girl to wrinkle her nose, she also laughed.

Every year before Christmas, Taylor’s birthday party is the most important party, and this year is no exception. After gathering all family and friends and organizing a lively party for her, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has arrived.

This movie was specially selected to hold its premiere at Disneyland. This is also the first movie premiere in Disneyland’s history. Legendary pirates from the Caribbean have become the theme of Los Angeles Disneyland on December 19 .

"I can imagine that after the film is successful..."

While standing in front of the huge poster for a photo, Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the Pirates of the Caribbean rides being rebuilt, and said to Ryan, "There will definitely be a large number of people flocking into Disneyland."

"It's better than they actually go to the Caribbean as pirates."

After the group photo was over, Ryan shrugged and walked towards the Grand Theater first, and continued to follow Jerry Bruckheimer, "As long as the movie can meet our expectations, Pirates of the Caribbean will become another Disney signature. ."

"Although I would like to say that the movie is really great."

Jerry Bruckheimer was still a little worried, and gestured and said, "You know, Ryan, a pirate-themed movie... what a painful lesson it has for us."

"This is not a traditional pirate movie." Ryan shook hands with Geoffrey Rush, who reached out, nodded to him, and asked to the side, "Jerry, I heard that Michael went to film DreamWorks." Science fiction?"

"Yes He nodded and followed Ryan's pace. "A movie about clones, your friend, Scarlett Johansson is the heroine. "

"Escape from the Clone Island" is about to appear, and DreamWorks is not far from being finished.

"I really want to continue working with Michael."

After entering the Disney Dream Theater, Ryan and Jerry Bruckheimer sat next to each other, "It seems we can only wait for this movie."

"Oh?" Jerry Bruckheimer asked with interest, "Can you know what the subject matter is?"

"Hasbro's toy." Ryan gestured with his hands deformed.

"Transformers?"

"Yes!" Ryan nodded, and then said, "Michael is a very suitable director candidate. He is a genius when it comes to shooting explosive and visually striking shots."

Of course, don't add complicated emotional dramas and reflections. ()
