Chapter 352 December

After December, as popular movies were released one after another, the market competition became increasingly fierce. Although "Blade Warrior" won nearly $28 million in the second week, it did not retain the throne of the box office rankings. When the investment of $40 million was in the face of a super blockbuster of $130 million, it was obviously insufficient in competitiveness.

The success of "Independence Day" made Roland Emmerich one of the hottest commercial directors like Michael Bay. It was Sony Columbia Pictures who saw this and spent a huge amount of money to invite him to serve as the director of "Godzilla".

Sony Columbia Pictures is obviously confident in monsters from the island country. Not only did it invite directors who are good at special effects production, it also offered a production cost of $130 million and a promotional and marketing expense of $50 million. It obviously wanted to make a complete comeback and change the situation among the seven major Hollywood film companies, which is only slightly better than MGM.

The film did not disappoint Sony Columbia Pictures in the first week. The box office of more than $44 million not only firmly occupied the top spot in the weekly box office rankings, but also brought up a craze for monsters.

Sony Columbia Pictures naturally hopes that "Godzilla" will continue to be popular. If it can cause a continuous sensation like "Jurassic Park 2", it would be ideal. Even if the box office alone cannot make a profit in North America, how can it be recovered?

However, most Hollywood insiders are watching this movie. First, Godzilla is an exotic person, and second, one week after Godzilla is released, Ryan Jenkins' latest masterpiece "The Rest of the Desert Island" will be fully launched in North American theaters!

The reaction of the North American film market after the 1990s fully proves that whether it is a monster or an alien, when facing Ryan Jenkins, they are all vulnerable scum...

Walking out of Disney's office building, Gene drove back home. Before he knew it, he had been working at Disney for four years, watching Walt Disney and his idol go from close partnership to competitors.

No matter how Walt Disney changed, his support for Ryan was never shaken.

After returning home, he had supper with his father who came to Los Angeles to visit him. He simply packed the table and went back upstairs to change into formal clothes.

"Dad, I got the ticket, it's time for us to set off."

Hearing his son's words, Old Gene smiled brightly, "Hurry up, this is the first time I have participated in the movie premiere."

Leaving Burbank, Gene's car drove into Hollywood, walked around the Chinese Theater several times, but couldn't find a suitable parking lot. He had to drive further away.

"There are too many people coming to see the red carpet," he explained to his father.

"I know, Ryan..." Old Gene showed a clear look, "Your father has not become an old antique yet. Do you know who Ryan? Jenkins is? Not only you young people like his movies, but people of our age like it."

Finally I found a suitable parking lot. Although it was a little far from the Chinese Theater, it was still early. I just walked over.

"Dad, why do you watch this movie?" The father and son walked towards the theater while talking about the upcoming movie.

"I don't know. I can't see much in the trailer." Old Gene shook his head and suddenly said with certainty, "But I believe Ryan, his movies have always been synonymous with excitement."

"I believe him, too." Gene clenched his fists.

"In the eyes of you guys, he is your God." Although Old Gene likes the young man very much, like most people in this country, he is not as crazy as you are. "You worship him too much."

"Ryan deserves our admiration." Gene spread his hands to his father and began to tell the basics. "He is kind, humble, talented and talented, but he never gave up his efforts, even if he has a billionaire. I can't think of anyone who can represent the American dream better than him."

Old Gene nodded unconsciously.

When he arrived at the red carpet of the Chinese Theater, Gene found that there were too many people gathering on both sides, and at this time he could not grab a slightly forward position. In fact, he had no intention of squeezing over. If he wanted to occupy the front row of the red carpet at Ryan's premiere, he might have been queuing here since last night.

At this moment, screams erupted around the red carpet that could almost cover the entire Hollywood area. Without going to see it, Gene also knew that Ryan must have walked on the red carpet.

He looked up at the giant movie poster hanging above the theater, which was a mature face that had experienced vicissitudes.

Through the gaps between the crowd, I saw Ryan himself. His youthful and sunny face was full of passionate and kind smiles, and he was completely two people with the characters on the movie poster.

Just like everyone standing on both sides of the red carpet, Gene always believed that Ryan could play every role well even if it was difficult.

"Let's go in?"

When Old Gene nodded, Gene couldn't wait to take his father into the screening hall from another entrance, waiting for the movie to begin.

Ryan casually answered several questions from the reporters, turned around and walked into the theater. As soon as he entered, he saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow standing near the door, as if he was waiting for him.

"Hi Leon, Gwyne."

After greeting the two, Ryan deliberately asked in a slightly exaggerated tone, "How is Leon, superstar and Golden Globe nominations?"

With "Shakespeare in Love", Leonardo was nominated for Best Comedy Actor in the Golden Globes.

"It's amazing." Leonardo obviously knew that Ryan was joking, and also used an exaggerated tone. "Do you know, Ryan, those models looked at me more crazy than before."

Ryan patted Leonardo's arm, and turned to the blonde in a moon-white dress, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Gwyne."

"Yeah, Gwyne has been busy all the time, and she turned down my invitation last time we had a party."

Perhaps she saw Ryan, Drew Barrymore coming over. Her attitude towards Gwyneth Paltrow was far less intimate than Girls' Generation. "Congratulations, Gwyne, for being nominated for Best Comedy Actress in the Golden Globes."

"Thank you!" Gwyneth's chin slightly raised.

Ryan has heard that in 1996, these two women had a big quarrel over the shares of Flower Pictures, and finally even alarmed their godfather Spielberg. In the end, Gwyneth just became a small shareholder and had no say.

Drew suddenly lowered his voice, "If the godfather and Uncle Paltrow are willing to come forward, maybe you will be able to win the Golden Globe."

It sounds like she is mocking Gwyneth Paltrow, but in fact she is giving advice to her former sisters.

Gwyneth Paltrow's eyes flashed. How could she not understand as a Hollywood actress from a noble family? Needless to say, her father would definitely help, but the godfather's meaning was not very clear.

"Sorry, I have other things."

Although his position is biased towards Drew, Ryan is not interested in the grudge between the two women, "You keep talking."

"Forget it, I'd better go find Paris and Scars." Drew left first.

"Ryan." Leonardo suddenly approached and whispered, "After the New Year, Victoria's Secret will have an event in New York, and it is said that many new models will appear."

"Let's talk about it then." Ryan waved his hand.

The party before the premiere was similar, and Ryan greeted people while walking, and occasionally stopped to talk to people.

"Ryan, we should put Mission Impossible 2 on the agenda." Sherry Lansing was speaking.

Although "Mission: Impossible" is still far from being down, the producers will not miss the opportunity to have a sequel if such a movie that is obviously profitable.

"Jenkins Pictures is preparing." Ryan stopped and said a few simple words, "I asked Julius to find a suitable director."

In fact, Bai Ge? Wu has agreed to be the director of the second episode of this series.

If the second episode can be successful, Bai Ge? Wu will further improve his status and gain more rights. It is impossible for the next movie to have the final editing rights.

By the way, his next movie seems to be "The Wind Whisperer"?

Ryan scratched his head. He couldn't remember which company made the movie, but it would definitely make the investor lose money and urge to jump on the Golden Gate Bridge.

"Hi, Ryan, what are you thinking?"

With his slender and tender hands on his arm, Ryan turned his head and said that it was Charlize Theron.

"I'm wondering if Tarzan of the Ape can defeat Godzilla." Ryan joked.

"By the way, Ryan, maybe you can give some advice."

Walking towards the quiet place, Charlize Theron said, "Director Peter Jackson sent my agent an invitation to audition."

"he?"

Ryan was a little surprised. Peter Jackson had already confirmed that he would let Cate Blanchett play Kylan Trier.

"Yes." Charlize Theron nodded seriously and explained, "He invited me to audition for Arwen Muxing."

"Arwen?" Ryan couldn't help but look at Charlize's blonde hair.

Well, it's too easy for blondes to turn black and gray eyes to turn black and gray eyes, but why did Peter Jackson choose her as one of the candidates? It seems like this happened in his previous life?

"This fat New Zealand man." Ryan subconsciously shook his head and muttered, "I haven't given me a reply from Aragon yet. It seems that I'm going to put some pressure on him."

When he was about to show the authority of investors and producers on the basis of respecting the director, Charlize Theron's surprised voice sounded, "Aragorn? Are you...you want to play Aragon?"

"Uh..." Ryan quickly came to his senses, "This is just my unilateral wish. Director Peter Jackson has not agreed yet." (To be continued...)
