Rebirth In Hollywood

After entering September, the shooting progress has far exceeded expectations, and the film is no longer far from finalizing the film. The reason why the crew is progressing so smoothly, in addition to the precise pre-planning, the huge budget that was finalized at the beginning played a crucial role.

To put it bluntly, many problems are actually money problems. As long as there is sufficient financial support, most of the difficulties will be solved.

Ryan once again bid farewell to the Rosario set and returned to Los Angeles, as the USC School of Film was about to begin.

"Why are you applying for a dormitory for me?"

Looking at the little luggage that he had packed, Ryan stood in the center of the living room and asked Nicole Kidman. Because he had been busy shooting, most of his pre-school matters were handed over to Nicole and Jinsi. Li is dealing with it.

"It's about an hour's drive from USC to Beverly Hills. It will take longer if you encounter traffic jams. If you have classes all day, do you have to go home at noon? Don't talk about finding a house or renting a hotel there. Suite, what is the security in that area, you must have heard of it."

If Nicole wants to persevere, she can find 10,000 reasons, "It's just a place to rest temporarily, you know that the USC dormitory has always been very tense, in order to find a suitable place for you to rest, Pat is looking for a place to rest. George to help."

The George she was talking about was, of course, George Lucas.

"I remember there should be cafes and restaurants on campus..." Seeing Nicole's insistence, Ryan closed his mouth, looked at the time, and finally asked, "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

"Come on, Ryan." Nicole rolled her eyes, "You went to the University of Southern California, not St. John's Elementary School."

The University of Southern California is located in downtown Los Angeles. As Nicole said, it is a distance from Beverly Hills, and the surrounding neighborhoods such as Raymond and Normandy are very poor in security, and shootings occur from time to time, especially for students from overseas. Here day and night are simply two worlds.

Walking on the campus of USC, Ryan rarely had the mood to appreciate the scenery. Although some people kept paying attention and some people he didn't know would suddenly greet him, there was no incident of chasing and blocking. Does UC have anything to do with having the nation's top-ranked School of Cinematic Arts?

Simply inquire about the next way. Ryan and George soon found the location of the Film School, a very fancy campus complex.

Different from other buildings in USC, the courtyard gate of the Film School is a Latin-style dome and column, with a sloped roof with a simple Mexican charm, which highlights the solemnity and heaviness of the building. Most of the buildings behind the gate are Earthy yellow walls.

The sloping top is brown, and the courtyard is full of towering palm trees.

Entering it, the first thing Ryan saw was the full-body statue of Douglas Fairbanks. He held a sword in his right hand and a movie script in his left hand, as if showing the dynamic and passion of creation.

In fact, the USC School of Film and the School of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have always maintained close ties. The latter can be regarded as the strong backing of the former, and the former also continuously delivers fresh blood for Hollywood to the film and television industry in the United States every year.

The film and television production major that Ryan chose is the strongest major in the college, and it definitely ranks first among similar majors in the United States.

It probably has something to do with George Lucas saying hello in advance. Ryan quickly completed the formalities and received the class schedule and course descriptions. George went back to the car, picked up the luggage, and went to the dormitory that had been lined up.

"Why do I feel like a relationship?" Ryan muttered to George. Mr. Bodyguard smiled but said nothing.

All right! When I have more money in the future, I will also learn from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and make a huge donation to the Film Academy to build a building called Ryan Jenkins.

Sadly, the Lucas and Spielberg buildings won't be visible until the new century.

under the leadership of the housekeeper. Ryan wandered all the way to the front of the apartment dormitory on the third floor.

"This is it, Mr. Jenkins."

The housekeeper opened the door and gave Ryan the corresponding key, "This is a two-person apartment, and you are the only one staying at the moment. The other person must be arriving soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Rune, just call me Ryan." Ryan shook his hand again and sent him out.

This is a very ordinary American-style apartment dormitory. Except for the two bedrooms, there are as many living rooms, bathrooms, and small storage rooms. enough.

Picking a random bedroom, Ryan quickly put away the items he received and brought. Although he was over-indulged by Nicole in the past few years, he still degenerated into a situation of domestic waste.

On the balcony of the bedroom, Ryan nodded in admiration. There is a pool of clear water in front of the apartment building, the USC library on the right, the college lawn on the left, and lush palm forests in the distance. Yes, except for the higher charges for the dormitory, I can't find too many disadvantages.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, followed by a conversation between George and another person. Ryan guessed that his roommate should have arrived, and immediately walked from the bedroom to the living room.

"Hello, I'm Ryan Jenkins." Ryan extended a hand politely.

It was a dark brown-haired man less than six feet who looked like he should be 10 years old. He looked at Ryan and scratched his head again, as if in disbelief.

"I...you...oh, God! I didn't expect that I would live in the same dormitory as Ryan Jenkins." He sighed and quickly shook Ryan's hand, "Darren Bousman, from Kansas."

"Ryan... can I call you that? Wow, that's great." He asked again, "You went to film school? What major?"

"Film production." Ryan gestured to him to sit down, "Sit, Darren."

"I am also a film and television production major." Darren Bousman was quite excited.

"Need my help?" Ryan pointed to the luggage he put on the floor, the guy scratched his head, "No, I can do it myself, I'll pack up first. Let's talk about it later?"

Ryan made an indulgent gesture, found the class schedule and course descriptions he received, and flipped through it.

There are no purely theoretical courses in the Film School, and almost all courses are combined with practice. The teachers and professors have rich practical experience, especially the comprehensive production courses that Ryan chose to focus on. There is a greater focus on practice, and after the initial course, each semester requires a small video camera to shoot a short story of about five minutes as an assignment.

The photographer has to personally participate in all the processes from script writing to finding actors to editing and production. All the links are solved by learning by doing and asking questions. If you have not been exposed to this industry before, you will definitely suffer a lot in the early stage.

This major trains producers who control the overall situation. Students not only need to be familiar with Hollywood-style production methods, but also have enough ability to participate in it.

Of course, none of this is a problem for Ryan, who has been on the set and has seen so many directors and producers. Unique in its age group.

"I have been interested in photography since I was very young, and it is my ideal to be a director." Darren Bousman quickly walked out of the room, and after a few chats, he saw Ryan With a mild attitude, he gradually relaxed, "My biggest ideal is to become a director of horror films."

"Horror movie?" Ryan was a little strange.

"Yes!" Darren Bousman sat on the sofa. He said with certainty, "Ryan, I really like Scream, I really like the bloody feel of the movie, it's really wonderful."

Ryan found out, this is a heavy taste lover.

"Ryan, maybe we can cooperate in the future..." The more he said, the more out of line he was.

"Come on, Darren, it'll take us four years to graduate." Ryan finally interrupted this seemingly idealist rant.

Students who graduate from the USC Film School do have an advantage over those from Ye Luzi. But if you really want to shoot for a movie, it requires not only ability, but also enough opportunities.

This age group is at its most energetic, and Ryan entered the apartment building undressed, and word of his presence here soon spread. People from several nearby apartment dormitories came to say hello one after another, and Ryan also generously got to know these people one by one. Communication is also a required course in college.

"Hello, Ryan, I'm Chen Jiazheng, from China." What Ruian didn't expect was that one of them was an international student from the Far East.

Looking at the other party's yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, and the remaining Chinese accent, Ryan could only sigh for a long time.

"A few years ago, I went to Hong Kong because of the publicity, and it was impressive." Ryan asked him to sit down and said casually.

"I read it in a domestic entertainment magazine at the time. It was promoting "Jurassic Park", right?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ryan nodded, "That's right, it was 1993, and I went there..."

He really couldn't remember how to translate it, so he had to change to a bit of Chinese, "Luohu Port, it should be this name."

"Do you speak Chinese?" Chen Jiazheng was a little surprised. Although Ryan's words were a little blunt, they were more standard than those of Chinese descent he had seen in the United States.

"I learned it in the past, and I've always been more interested in oriental culture, such as Chinese food." Ryan shook his head again, "Originally, I wanted to go there and have a look, but unfortunately China introduced True Lies and Jurassic Park is too late."

"Actually, it was after watching these two films last year that I decided to study here." Chen Jiazheng is an international student at the Film Academy, "I really don't know if I don't watch it, it turns out that Chinese films have been left behind by the world so far. ."

He has been here for a while, and he is naturally aware of the huge reputation of the young man opposite him in Hollywood.

It is rare to meet someone who knows the film industry on the other side. Ryan listened to some news without a trace, and then combined the memories in his mind to make a general inference about the film market there, so that Jenkins Films and Pyra could Mongolia film industry to further develop.
