Rebirth In Hollywood

Movies are all about talking about the box office with confidence, why is it necessary to be ashamed to talk about it? Ryan has never felt that movies are divorced from business and money, and they can become a popular entertainment method all over the world as they are now, and his articles do not shy away from this point.

"Movies must talk about the box office, which is determined by the nature of the movie. In the final analysis, a movie is just a cultural commodity that is governed by the cost-benefit principle and meets the entertainment needs of consumers."

"Why do investors invest in a movie? Of course it is to make money, and to maximize the money. Movies are not made for self-admiration, but to face the market and strive for the largest audience and greatest influence. Of course, the results must be reflected in the box office. "

"Some of the recent remarks deliberately contrast literary films with commercial films. It seems that literary films are vulgar if they are tainted with money, and they lose their lofty feelings. The producer really doesn't care about the box office?"

"As for the phenomenon of 'bad movies win the box office', it is more necessary for movies to have the courage to talk about the box office. The more 'bad movies win the box office', the more they need to use good movies to win the box office. The reason why bad movies win the box office is not because bad movies are bad enough. , but because there are so few good movies, Hollywood needs a box office and word-of-mouth movie like "Gladiator" to win us the entire world movie market!"

"Therefore, we should not narrowly focus on disputes over money and art, and use big-selling movies to expand the influence of Oscar and Hollywood, so as to win us audiences all over the world. This is the primary focus of filmmakers. !"

Going online is simply too easy for Ryan, who has the experience of the previous life. He vaguely compares "Gladiator" in the text to become a Hollywood movie that is going all over the world, and contributes a huge overseas market. But the common interests of the entire Hollywood.

This anonymous article is like a charge. Once it was published, many media outlets published echoing remarks. After all, this is Hollywood where business is the most important thing. Money and box office are the biggest interests pursued by the film industry.

And art is also a banner flaunted by some people. What Ryan did not expect was that after the publication of "Movies Must Be Confident About the Box Office", it triggered a debate about art and business across the United States. The duration was not long, but the scale spread rapidly, and even Fleet Street, which has always liked to join in the fun, joined in on the other side of the Atlantic.

However, the topic has gradually deviated from "Gladiator". To some extent, Ryan has achieved his goal.

The topic of Oscar nominations has just cooled down. This debate has undoubtedly provided an opportunity for the media to hype. Even several of the most famous talk shows have discussed related topics. The media doesn't care about whether the resulting debate is meaningful or not. All they care about is whether they can profit from it.

Valentine's Day is coming soon, and this kind of festival is undoubtedly the best time to release romantic movies. At the premiere of "100% Men", Ryan met the long-lost Nicole Kidman, and she talked and laughed happily in front of people , when she looked at him, she still had a cold face.

However, the blond girl in her hand quickly found her. Taylor had just returned to Los Angeles after finishing her studies in London.

"Are you still the same?"

The mischievous little girl in the past has gradually grown up. Although most of the time she is still mischievous, she is much more sensible. "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Honey, you just need to stand aside and watch." Ryan pampered the girl's curly hair, and took her hand again, "There are some things you should not know."

Even though she's grown up, Taylor is still a girl, and some of the silent tacit understanding between him and Nicole should not be known to her big mouth.

"When I got back to Los Angeles, I realized how boring it was."

Taylor followed Ryan to a quiet corner, complaining about the recent boring life, "When I was in London, at least Emma was with me, now? Christine is going to shoot a new movie, Nat is far At Harvard, Nicole's new goddaughter is a naughty naughty girl who can only cry, and even Scarlett's chubby girl went to Europe to shoot "The Princess Diaries"..."

"Oh, God." She imitated Nicole and covered her forehead, "Scarlett Johansson can turn into a princess, it's simply unbelievable..."

"Okay, dear." Ryan knew that she was just complaining to herself deliberately, "If you are bored, you can come to me anytime."

This is the highlight of Valentine's Day jointly launched by Jenkins Films and Twentieth Century Fox. Many celebrities and celebrities came to the premiere. When Paris Hilton walked into the theater, Taylor immediately found a suitable playmate. The two Guys who also like to make trouble sometimes have many common topics.

Not long after it was quiet, Drew came over with a black-haired girl who was no more than five feet tall.

"Ryan..." Drew was not polite to him, pointing to the second floor, "I need your help with something, let's talk in the lounge upstairs."

"Hi Ryan."

Shaking the hand extended by the brunette girl, Ryan greeted the girl star who became famous at the same time, "Hello, Christine"

Although they are not familiar with each other, they are not strangers either. Christina Ricci is one of the child stars who became famous at the same time as him.

Turning the corner on the second floor, because Drew obviously had something to talk about, Ryan deliberately chose a lounge in the back so that he didn't have to worry about being disturbed by others.

After entering the lounge and sitting down, Ryan looked directly at Drew, and she looked at Christina Ricci, and said, "Ryan, Christine just participated in the audition for the "Devil" you invested in, the character yes……"

"Shelby." Christina Ritchie took up the conversation.

Ryan still looked at Drew, saw her blink, and said, "Christine, as long as the audition is fine."

They are all people who have been in Hollywood for more than ten years. Some things need not be said too directly. Christina Ricci understands that as long as she can reach above the standard in the audition, the role should be her own.

After thanking Ryan and Drew, seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Christina Ricci hurriedly left.

"Since when have you been willing to help others?" Ryan deliberately squeezed out these old friends.

"Christine and I have known each other since 1989." Drew smiled, seemingly not serious, "There are always some childhood friendships."

"Didn't you say that the friends you made when you were young are sometimes more precious." She added.

"Okay, Drew." Ryan knew that there must be something wrong with her pulling herself to the second floor, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Just yesterday." Drew subconsciously looked back at the closed door, "The people from Disney contacted me, wanting to buy the Pixar shares in my hand."

"You have shares in Pixar?" Ryan couldn't help but wonder.

"Ah...it's like this." Drew explained with a smile, "This was bought when Pixar first went public in 1995, and it was only 0.4%."

"I didn't expect you to trust Pixar so much at that time." Ryan joked.

"I don't believe in Pixar." Drew raised his baby's face with his hands, "I believe in your vision. Later, I bought the stock of Blizzard Entertainment. I plan to invest in Blue Sky Studios next month."

Then, the playfulness on her face disappeared, and she said very solemnly, "Ryan, they must have contacted other shareholders of Pixar. I heard that you have conflicts with Pixar's management..."

"It's just some differences in work." Ryan lowered his eyelids, "It's not too sharp a contradiction."

Disney's actions are far from being covert. This kind of acquisition relies more on strength and opportunities, and they obviously haven't exerted their strength yet.

"Be careful with Disney and Michael Eisner." Drew shook Ryan's hand vigorously, "I don't want to see my friends kicked out of Hollywood."

Ryan nodded with a smile. After Drew Barrymore walked out, he walked slowly towards the door.

Who was kicked out of Hollywood, and how could it be known until the last moment?

Just after walking out of the lounge, the slight sound of high heels landing came from around the corner, and then the long reddish blond hair and unusually tall figure caught Ryan's eyelids.

With five feet left, Nicole Kidman suddenly stopped opposite.

She looked at Ryan coldly, without any expression on her face, only the pair of beating light blue eyes, which showed that her heart was definitely not as calm as her appearance.

"Nicole..."

Ryan just took a step when he heard the soft and cold voice of the Australian girl, "I'm still angry."

Spreading his hands, Ryan walked forward slowly. Nicole's voice was as unrecognizable as if squeezed out of her teeth, "Are you sure you want to do this? Are you afraid that I will drag you to hell with you?"

"I trust you."

"But I don't believe you."

Hearing this sentence, Ryan scratched his head helplessly, but Ni might say so, at least she has got rid of the state of burning anger and hysteria.

"Using billions of dollars to let me dispel my anger, should I be moved, Ryan?" Her face was almost close to Ryan's eyes, "I didn't expect that I not only taught a jerk, but also taught a A fool!"

"Nicole, it's more than that." Ryan believed she could understand his intentions.

"From today on, don't see me anymore, and George..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the Mr. Bodyguard who was guarding the corner, turned around and left, "If we lose even the most basic tacit understanding, there is no need to see each other again in the future."

Although he really wanted to catch up, Ryan understood that staying here was the wisest choice for the future.

After the movie started, Ryan walked down the second floor. Even when he entered the screening hall, he didn't keep his eyes on the big screen. Now everything is gradually on the right track, just waiting for the opportunity to come. rs ()
