Chapter 640： Respective business

"You promised him?"

Hearing Ryan's question, Charlize shook his head directly, "No, I refused."

She went on to say, "I think 9/11 is a scar that will never be erased in the United States. We should choose to forget, instead of revealing it **** again and presenting the pain to everyone."

"Dear……"

Pulling Charlize's hand, Ryan gently kissed the back of his hand, "You are getting smarter."

"so……"

The golden eyebrows were raised high, and Charlize stared and said, "Do you think I was an idiot before?"

"How come." Ryan said without even thinking about it, "I think you are the smartest person in Africa."

"It's pretty much the same."

She shrugged gracefully, as happy as the African grassland welcoming the rain brought by the monsoon, but asked with a little doubt, "In that case, why did Oliver Stone choose such a strongly controversial subject?" "

"My dear, don't you forget that this is his usual style." Ryan made a reminder gesture to Charlize, "From "Assassination of Kennedy" to "Born Murderer," his movies caused less controversy every time. ?"

"It seems..." Charlize thought back for a while, "It's true."

"Only when there is controversy can there be topics, and only when there are topics can attract people's attention."

Having been in Hollywood for so many years, Ryan knows that there are such a group of people who like to use controversial themes, "but sometimes controversy can make a movie, sometimes it can also ruin a movie."

"What about... "Alexander the Great"?" Charlize asked after looking around.

"I didn't participate in the Warner Bros. preview meeting, and I don't know the specific content, but..." Ryan said in a voice that only they could hear, "If such an epic masterpiece introduces some controversial plots, even These plots are too sensitive or vivid words. The movie..."

Having said that, he shook his head.

Plots such as sex, love, motherhood, and bisexuality are almost death-seeking in this era. This is not a niche literary film, but a commercial film aimed at the mainstream market. It also has rhythm and narrative techniques. The film in the previous life All have serious problems.

If this movie in this life is like that in the previous life, the fiasco of the box office reputation is the inevitable result.

Will there be a change in Oliver Stone's shooting style? There is no need to think about the answer at all, certainly not.

And Warner Bros. adjusted the film from the highly competitive December schedule to October, which is relatively less stressful. It also shows that there is not enough confidence in the film inside.

At the end of the party, Ryan bid farewell to the organizer. On the way out of the banquet hall, he also met the two leading actors in "Alexander the Great".

"I have been looking forward to working with Disney."

Angelina Jolie held her new party Kimmer and said to Ryan, "Ryan, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome." Ryan nodded to her, "We still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Smiths" is still in preparation, and it is not far from starting. At that time, some interesting things may happen, Fang Kimo and Brad Pitt’s female companions will change, right?

Although the perception of Angelina Jolie is not very good, as long as she can create value for herself, Ryan doesn't mind Disney cooperating with her.

There is another party? Kimmer. The former Batman was once the first candidate for Tony Stark by surprise. Later, under Ryan's intervention, he was replaced by Robert Downey Jr.

With just a few simple words, Ryan took Charlize and left the banquet hall. Take the elevator back to the private room on the top floor of the hotel.

"Feeling a bit tired."

Charlize kicked off his high heels and sat down on the sofa directly, after Ryan hung his coat on the hanger. Asked, "Honey, do you want something to drink?"

"No need." Charlize shook her head, lazily like a Persian cat. She stretched out her arms to Ryan, "Will you take me back to my room and rest?"

"Happy to help"

Striding over, Ryan hugged this beautiful diamond. After entering the bedroom, he put her on the soft goose down quilt, "I'll take a bath first..."

"Don't..." After Charlize interrupted, he hugged his waist, "Lie down here with me, okay?"

"of course."

Ryan kicked off his shoes and took Charlize, who was still wearing a red evening dress, into his arms, "Well, I will take a shower when you fall asleep."

"Ryan..." Charlize suddenly raised his head and looked at him, biting his lips lightly to speak and then stopped. Ryan couldn't help kissing her smooth white forehead and asked, "What's the matter? Just say it. , Charlie."

"I want to shift the focus of my career to fashion in the future." Charlize seemed determined.

"You know, Charlie." Ryan raised her face and said seriously, "No matter what decision it is, I will support you."

"Really?" Charlize rolled over and rode on his lap, with his hips spotted, and while slowly squeezing, he said in a joking tone, "What if I want to leave you?"

Ryan knew this was just a joke, and deliberately pulled down his face, "I will tie you up and torture you with the cruelest punishment!"

"Oh, what is the punishment?" Charlize's hand reached under the red evening dress, the smile on his face gradually turned into excitement, "Honey, tell me quickly, how are you going to torture me..."

At this moment, no words can be more direct and powerful than actions. Ryan rolled over and pressed her underneath. In just a few pulls, a luxurious Dior evening dress became a rag on the carpet. In the film, Charlize called out excitedly to welcome the long-awaited punishment.

In the following days, Ryan accompanied Charlize to the catwalks of other brands and some well-known designers, and then returned to Los Angeles. The South African Diamond stayed in New York, where Ryan organized a business team specially for her. With assistance, continue to run for his own fashion career.

Regardless of their past or present lives, they are all outstanding women. Ryan has never let them become his own vassal. For the business they want to develop, they all support them, and even Nicole has long been one of the richest women in the United States. .

Nicole is different from Charlize in that she prefers Hollywood's glamorous and luxurious life. While continuing to star in movies, she has also gradually transformed into a producer. In the past few years, she has also invested in several movies that she is optimistic about. Unfortunately, her vision can only be Generally speaking, although I didn't lose much money, I basically didn't make any money.

Her latest investment is "Paddington Bear" in collaboration with Miramax. This film has completed most of the post-production, and the only work still in progress is to commission Pixar Studios to deal with the bear's hair. The problem is that Pixar has an absolute advantage in this regard in Hollywood as a whole.

Some time ago, I didn’t know if it was luck or the character that Nicole had accumulated for a long time finally broke out. She actually saw the graphic novel "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and personally convinced her that she did not want to visualize the work. The original author of the processing, Frank Miller, obtained the film adaptation rights for this work.

In fact, to put it bluntly, all this is just a matter of money.

Just like in a previous life, a certain director borrowed so much creativity from him and made a dark version of Batman. Frank Miller did not stand up and say anything, but instead sang praises for the movie. It was not Warner who paid enough. Cost?

In terms of comics, Frank Miller is indeed a genius. He has worked for Marvel comics and comics, and has participated in the creation of works such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, Black Widow, Wolverine, Superman, and Batman. He also created works. Works like "Sin City" and "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" were published.

"Dear……"

Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, Ryan looked at the graphic novel while curiously asking Nicole, "How do you like this work?"

"When I went to see Harvey some time ago."

Nicole put a cup of black tea on the table in front of Ryan, "When he said that Miramax was making "Sin City", I specifically looked for Frank Miller's work and looked at it, and then I felt this The graphic novel is not bad, so I bought the film rights."

"Have you figured out how to make it?" Ryan put down the cartoon and said seriously.

This movie is a film with a strong personal style. If it is filmed in a normal way, in the current environment where epic movies have been subjected to cold reception, the possibility of failure far exceeds success.

"Try to restore the original styleNicole is obviously well thought out," it's like "Sin City" being made. "

"I also considered..." Nicole was holding the black tea, and her brows were tightly twisted together. "Harvey said Frank Miller will be the director of one of the stories in "Sin City". I think if he can, let him I directed this film."

The original author is definitely the person who knows his own work best, but a genius cartoonist is not necessarily an excellent director. Ryan thought for a while, "My dear, if you don't mind, I can recommend a director for you."

"Please say it." Nicole drank the lipstick tea and said with a smile, "If it fits, I will pay you one hundred dollars as a recommendation."

"Look at the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in the past year?" Can Ryan remember the director, not only the relationship with this strong personal style film, but also the other party who later became the director of the Justice League series. "The film's The director is called Zach Schneider, a newcomer, but he handles colors very well."

"Okay." Nicole put aside the joking tone and nodded seriously, "Although I haven't watched a movie, the person you recommend must be unique if you want to come. I will let someone contact him as soon as possible." (To be continued...) ()
