Chapter 22 Repercussions and Benefits

Did he perform well in the movie? There is no doubt about it. Ryan has been a man of two lives after all. Even over the years, he has inevitably brought a lot of childishness and sometimes his performance is indeed a bit outrageous, but he will never lose his way in this sky of praise.

He knew very well that Hollywood's attitude towards child stars and adult actors was completely different. As long as a child did what only adults could do, the voice of praise would be overwhelming. If he performed a little better, the name of genius would definitely be on his head.

For those children who are not yet mature in their minds, these often become death-driven poisons. If they meet parents who are not clear-headed and only know how to make money, they can only be described as sad when they grow up.

Of course, these will not happen to Ryan. After all, he has a mature mind and a firm will, and Nicole is not a greedy person. You must know that since the two met each other, she has never touched him a dollar.

In fact, what Ryan is most worried about is his appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that he has almost all the advantages of mixed-race children, but the information he saw in his previous life made it very clear that the more cute and beautiful children in the West were, the higher the chance of growing crooked. He did not want to become Leonardo and Petego in the future, but he could not become a crooked crook like Macaulay, Calkin, Edward Fran?

Shaking his head and throwing these messy thoughts out of the sky, Ryan picked up the Los Angeles Times, which was left exclusively for the last time, and felt that it really was.

The Los Angeles Times is on the front page headline, noting that it is not the front page headline of the entertainment edition, but the front page headline of the entire newspaper, and published a most detailed report about Ryan.

"A super genius of ten years old!"

The huge black and bold title is extremely eye-catching, and there is also a close-up photo of Ryan at the press conference next to it.

"Ryan Jenkins, a Los Angeles boy born in 1980, has an unusually bright sky blue pupil. Last night, in the just-released movie "The Sixth Sense", the boy made the big screen for the first time. His performances in the film are the best among child stars, but what is even more surprising is that the script of the movie was created by him."

"Perhaps some people may doubt that this wonderful story that combines thriller, suspense and family ethics is really from the hands of a ten-year-old child? Yes, it is indeed doubtful, but what we want to say is that it is indeed the story created by Ryan, or one of the many stories he created!"

"We have received amazing news from the wise man, and after rigorous verification, the former top-selling book rankings in the United States for more than thirty weeks and is still among the top ten, the "Ryan Story Collection" which is ranked 34th, and the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" which has just entered the rankings, the author is Ryan Jenkins, yes! This Ryan is that Ryan!"

"It's not just that. At the beginning of this month, the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers just announced the Nebula Award nomination, and Ryan's "The No. 1 Power and the Zenith Star" was nominated for the Best Short Novella."

"If anyone has a heart, Jurassic Park was published as early as 1986, and many other works such as "Home Imperial" in "Ryan's Story Collection" were also published in 1986 and 1987. What does this mean?"

"Perhaps everyone will doubt if someone is a ghostwriter, but after confirmation from the municipal department, Ryan Jenkins is an orphan who has lived in the Northton Welfare House in North Hollywood before he was seven years old. At that time, he had many works published. Just imagine who would write for an orphan?"

"It was not until the second half of 1987 that Ryan was adopted by Miss Nicole Kidman and began two years of life in London. Perhaps it was this experience that allowed him to create the British-style "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Think about it, a child who can start writing independently at the age of six and keeps having outstanding works, and who can create movie scripts at the age of nine and play in them personally. If it is not a super genius, who else would be a super genius?"

Ryan was too lazy to read the next words. The Los Angeles Times was naturally the work of Harvey Weinstein. Since he learned that the author of those three books was Ryan, he has been planning how to maximize the benefits of this amazing news.

There is no doubt that when the movie was just released, throwing such a high-explosive bomb will naturally stimulate the nerves of many people and contribute more box office to the movie.

Of course, Harvey Weinstein, who realized that Ryan was a gold mine, informed him in advance, and after convinced Nicole, the unscrupulous Ryan joined forces with Mr. Fatty to hype it up.

In fact, Ryan knew very well that with the release of the movie, his old secrets would definitely be revealed by those paparazzi. Yes, you can't look up to them or underestimate them. These guys don't mind selling their souls to Satan in order to pursue scandals and gossip privacy.

In this case, why not take part of the initiative in your hands, so that you can maximize your own interests.

First, I sold Miramax and let Harvey Weinstein owe him a favor. Secondly, I can make it on the front page of one of the three major newspapers in the United States and gain a reputation as imagined. In the end, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people, so that they will go to the theater, into the bookstore, and the green banknotes...

As Ryan imagined, once the report was published, it caused an uproar in public opinion. Miramax's public phone number and the hotline of the publisher under the Alien Magazine were almost blown up by crazy reporters. Similarly, the Northton Welfare House and the municipal department also welcomed many visitors with cameras and microphones.

"Ryan, my phone was blown up, you have to pay me overtime!" This was the complaining call from Ms. Jinslie.

"I want more detailed information, such as the child's childhood life, who is the child's parents, the child's personality and habits, have you ever had an appointment with a girl, and what is in his head. You all have to turn it out for me, otherwise, you will clean up the bed and get out of here!"

Almost all the editors of the tabloids issued similar orders to their paparazzi.

For a time, various reports about Ryan began to fill the big and tabloid newspapers. The experience of being abandoned in childhood, the withdrawn life in the welfare home, and the relationship with Nicole Kidman and his mother and sister were all revealed by the media.

Even some reporters found the old dean Katie who was retired in Santa Monica. When they asked Ryan, the old dean said this, "Ryan was brought back from the ground at the gate of the welfare home. He is a very special child, smart and precocious, with wisdom far beyond ordinary people. The works you mentioned were indeed created by him, including Jurassic Park, which was written under my eyes. The original works were also recommended to the Alien Magazine, so you don't have to doubt anything. For a child who can read newspapers and magazines fluently at the age of four, starting to write at the age of six is ​​nothing."

The words of the old dean and the children adopted by the welfare home all prove the report of the Los Angeles Times.

These reports have aroused the appetite of the people to a certain extent. They are very curious about the achievements of a ten-year-old child. Many people flock to bookstores to buy the books mentioned in the reports. "Jurassic Park" once again topped the list of bestsellers in the United States a week later, and sales of "Ryan Story Collection" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" almost quadrupled.

In particular, countless experts stared at the weird novel that had just been nominated for the Nebula Award, and interpreted various meanings, such as "This science fiction novel has strong realistic ironic significance, criticized the increasingly impetuous society today, deeply exposed the ever-expanding greed of mankind, and is a reminder and warning to the United States!"

Some people even wrote a special article to praise, "This is one of the best science fiction satire novels in recent years!"

This made Ryan laugh and cry while having the urge to write "the world's number one military power and his invincible fat marshal."

The most direct gain is the movie "The Sixth Sense".

The wonderful storyline and outstanding actor performance have already won praise from most people. Coupled with this crazy hype promotion, the movie's North American box office was frozen at nearly $28 million after the first three days on the first week, and Miramax's senior executives couldn't close their mouths.

The two scenes at the end are the most exciting parts of the movie. The dialogue and relationship between Cole and his mother broke out in tears. The sudden realization of the psychologist was shocking. Many people only recalled some of the previous scenes after watching them, and couldn't help but buy tickets to watch them again. Many people watched them more than once.

In this case, many theaters in popular locations have queued up to buy tickets, and some theater owners even compared the movie with last year's "Batman".

After the second full week, the box office of the movie not only did not fall, but rose a lot. When he saw a box office of more than $36 million, Harvey Weinstein regretted signing those two contracts, realizing for the first time that the box office of the movie was likely to be far beyond his estimate.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. In this way, Ryan put himself on the cusp of the storm and could only hide at home. Otherwise, he would be entangled by the ubiquitous paparazzi in Los Angeles. Although it is not a big trouble, he is also very annoying.

Especially under the apartment building, paparazzi are already stationed there day and night, hoping to get some scoops.
