Rebirth In Hollywood

The day after the premiere, Nicole's plane flew to Australia. Ryan just reached an agreement with Huayi. Naturally, someone will advance the specific work, and according to the other party's vague request, he also agreed to help. Promote the movies produced by Huayi to North America.

Internationalizing local films and going to North America to earn dollars is the hope of many filmmakers here.

It's a pity that Ryan knows who Huayi's ace is and the limitations of their films, so it's impossible for them to succeed in North America.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to introduce Harvey Weinstein to people from Huayi. Anyway, the big fat man always likes to buy movies from abroad to distribute in North America, which can be regarded as the best use of people.

As for whether Director Feng will call Harvey Weinstein a liar in the future, Ryan will leave it alone.

In fact, North American distributors and theater distributors are very realistic people. As long as the film shows commercial potential, they will not care about the nationality and culture, and will definitely promote it hard to maximize profits.

And these foreign movies are often released from a dozen or even a few theaters to see their market response. The previous life's "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are not the way of operation.

Some movies that are well-received or sold in the Far East or other places have not been released or have a three-day trip to the theater after being introduced to North America. It can only be said that such movies are not suitable for the North American film market.

Regional and cultural differences also have an obvious impact on the film.

Coming to a farm in Queensland, Australia, they embarked on a short holiday trip.

This farm, located more than 40 miles away from Brisbane, has grown from more than 6,200 acres to nearly 30,000 acres after Nicole's successive acquisitions, and it even borders directly on the Gold Coast.

The farm still uses lavender, wine and horse grass feed as its main industries, and can generate about 3.5 million Australian dollars in profits every year.

It's not just Ryan and Nicole who come here on vacation, but also Antonia Kidman and her new boyfriend.

but. After the two sides met, the first activity after the dinner was watching a movie. As an insider, Nicole was very concerned about the film culture of the country she just went to. Still a little interested. It just so happened that Ryan got a copy of their big hit this year from Huayi.

Since the language is not translated, except for Ryan. The three people who don't understand Chinese can only understand the dialogue through subtitles. This method is not only laborious, but also there are too many slang words in the film. It is impossible to express accurately in English at all.

Donald Sutherland in the movie is an acquaintance,

He was also the guest speaker at this year's Oscars ceremony.

"That... there's a big horn, and a crank, that's... what's that?"

A doctor opposite replied, "gramophone!"

"You are the head of the third floor!"

The humor in the last paragraph caused several people to laugh at the same time, and Ryan got up. Going to the back to pack up the equipment, a few people left the manor's projection room, and the Kidman sisters briefly discussed a few words and walked towards the racetrack together.

"Is China's audio-visual industry really developed?"

Antonia Kidman also did not understand. As he walked, he asked Nicole, who had just returned from there, "Like it was said in the movie?"

"I don't know." Nicole shrugged, then asked, "What does the movie say?"

"There are now 27 million DVDs in China. Each machine consumes ten DVDs every year, and each DVD gets a royalty of 1 yuan." Antonia is worthy of being a talk show host, and she roughly reiterated the following The movie line, "Ten discs is ten yuan, plus 27 million DVDs, that's 270 million."

"In fact, it's a very, very conservative number."

Holding Nicole's hand, Ryan looked at the racetrack in the distance and took the initiative to take over the topic, "This number needs to be at least ten times more in line with the reality over there."

"Isn't this a very large peripheral market?" Antonia's boyfriend said, "I've been there a few times, and in terms of their huge population base, Ryan's numbers are also conservative."

"Why is it so hard to sell our dvd and videotape rights over there?" Nicole's blue eyes were full of strangeness, after all, she spent most of her time hiding in the hotel except for the premiere, "even if the rights to sell were sold. , and the price is low.”

"The national conditions are different." Ryan shook her hand firmly and changed the subject actively, "It's been a long time since I came here, dear, I heard that you have specially trained a few horses?"

Entering the racecourse, a few people went to change their riding clothes. Ryan carried a cowboy hat in one hand and Nicole in the other, and walked into the stable. There are no expensive thoroughbred horses here, most of them are common horse breeds in Australia. Although it is slightly smaller, its docile temperament makes it easier to ensure the safety of the rider.

These are the horses that Nicole has chosen shockingly. After all, everyone here is here to play, not to train horses.

Help Nicole take care of her dark horse first. Ryan randomly chose a burgundy horse similar to Brigger, chased the Australian girl, and ran out of the stable with a crisp hoof sound.

The sun moved from the top of the head to the left, and it seemed that it could fall into the small blue lake at any time. The grass by the lake was slightly yellow, and a few grasshoppers jumped on it, but they were trampled by the falling horses. The birds will make a feeble call, as if to inform the world that winter in Australia is approaching.

The beige cowboy hat pressed down Nicole's golden red curly hair. The open world made her extremely relaxed. She turned around and whistled to Ryan, and her riding boots knocked the black horse hard and accelerated.

After going through the baptism of several movie shootings, Ryan's riding skills have made great progress, and he quickly caught up from behind, gradually keeping pace with Nicole.

The empty racecourse has been expanded and is several times larger than the original one, and there is an artificial lake in the center, which is connected to the water source channel on the other side through a channel.

"This small lake is Kate's idea." Nicole slowly slowed down her horse and said, looking at the artificial lake.

"Kate used to love design." Ryan also tugged on the reins, and when Nicole, who was a little behind, caught up, he said, "Our Queen Galadriel loves lakes."

"Hey, what did you say?" Antonia Kidman caught up from behind at this time. Ryan saw that she was the only one and asked strangely, "Where's Sam?"

"That idiot's riding pants are broken, go back to change clothes." Antonia pulled the reins, went to Nicole's other side, and complained, "He's always stupid, and now I'm very doubtful that accepting his pursuit is fainting. head."

In this regard, Ryan will definitely not make any suggestions, and Nicole can't say anything. The speed of the three horses is getting slower and slower, and finally it becomes a horse-riding walk.

"Annie, have you ever wanted to come to Hollywood to develop?" Nicole raised this suggestion again.

"I still... like Sydney more." Antonia Kidman hesitated after thinking about it. "My friends and social circle are all in Sydney."

"These can all be re-established." Nicole pulled the horse's head and walked towards the lake first. After Ryan and the two caught up, he said, "Your career in Sydney One can't go any further, that Talk shows have reached their limits, and you need a bigger stage."

"If you want, I can recommend you to join the TV station. They lack good enough talk show hosts now." After that, Nicole looked over, and Ryan nodded lightly.

He and Nicole had seen Antonia's show many times, and she was really capable.

"Then...I need to think about it."

Seeing that Nicole was about to dismount, Antonia also grabbed the mount, "I also need to discuss with Sam."

"Isn't he an actor? How many actors don't want to go to Hollywood?" Nicole threw the reins to Ryan and took her sister to the lake, "Honey, go back and bring us some snacks and tea okay?"

"Happy to serve."

With the two horses tied, Ryan turned over and ran towards the stable.

April is autumn in Australia, and the life of the farm is casual and comfortable. Without the flashlights, paparazzi stalking, and work, it is like a peaceful place away from the worldly troubles.

Fishing, horseback riding, and walking have become the themes of Ryan and Nicole's life. Occasionally, they will go to the winery to learn winemaking from those winemakers, or they will go to the farm to help workers harvest fodder for racing horses.

These are all kinds of life that Hollywood is very hard to experience, but this kind of life can be regarded as relaxation. If it continues day by day, I am afraid that Nicole will be the first to rebel.

Among a series of leisure activities, Ryan's favorite is hunting. With a double-barreled shotgun on his back and Nicole with a hunting dog, he entered the thousands of acres of woods on the farm. After looking for suitable prey, he loaded and fired. gun, shoot...

Then, the prey escaped unharmed in the sound of the gunfire, and he could only repeat the process under Nicole's contemptuous eyes...

'boom! boom! ’

Ryan pulled the trigger again and again, and the shot blasted the dirt and leaves flying everywhere, but it was a few feet away from the target hare. That abominable rabbit, with its eyes that rolled around, turned around like Nicole's contemptuous eyes. , glanced at the two men in hunting suits, and ran away.

"Gru! Baby, it's up to you!"

Raising an eyebrow at Ryan, who was holding his face, Nicole let go of the dog's leash. The German Shepherd ran out at the fastest speed, nimbly avoiding obstacles such as branches and weeds, and after a while. In the bark of the bark, a beautiful pounce succeeded in capturing the hare.

"Two days, Ryan." Nicole raised two fingers at him, "You haven't hit any prey, I remember you were a member of a gun club in Los Angeles? Shooting level..."

She shook her head and walked towards Gru the hound.

Picking up the shotgun, Ryan reluctantly followed. He just practiced shooting a long time ago. As for the level, he didn't even mention it. ()
