Chapter 357 Protests from Russia

As Ryan once said, it is impossible for a person to win everyone's praise. Those voices who oppose for the sake of opposition, whether it is Ryan himself or his numerous supporters, will not care too much, but those criticisms full of maliciousness are different. No one will feel comfortable after seeing such remarks.

Gary Graham is one of the recognized people who are full of malice towards Ryan. Perhaps Ryan will only think that he is a ridiculous clown, but his supporters will not see it like this.

They remembered clearly the accounts before the release of "Titanic" last year. However, after the other party switched to the Internet, they rarely published targeted and vicious language, which left him in the corner.

Now, he actually jumped out again.

In some ways, Ryan's supporters can be regarded as the largest loose group in North America, including people from all walks of life, including experts in computer and Internet technology.

So, just a few hours after Gary Graham's remarks appeared on the Internet, his website was hacked.

"Your professional comments are a complete collection of American jokes!"

This is what the intruder left behind after hacking the website.

In addition, there is a picture of Mr. Gary Graham, with his bare butt sticking out to please the audience across the United States.

This incident became a laughing stock in the entire industry. It is said that the descendant of Mayflower was so angry that he went directly to the medical institution.

"This is definitely not something I have asked people to do!"

On the treadmill in the gym, Ryan said to Natalie confidently, and the girl from Long Island was lifting dumbbells.

"I never said you did it. Although you are bored, you won't pay attention to a clown."

Despite saying this, Natalie smiled very happily. No one thought that the person she loved was always maliciously attacked by someone for no reason.

Then, she looked at the clock on the wall and reminded, "Ryan, the time is up!"

"Yeah~"

As soon as Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, Natalie had already put down the dumbbell and walked over, picked up the white towel hanging around her neck, and helped him wipe the sweat off his face.

Ryan bent down a little and enjoyed Natalie's tenderness. One hand fell unknowingly on Natalie's slender waist. The girl in Long Island was short tight fitness outfit on her upper body. Her hands directly touched her smooth and white belly and couldn't help but fall down.

The door of the gym was suddenly pushed open from outside, making a 'bang' sound, and then Scarlett Johnson rushed in, waved the file bag in his hand, and shouted, "Nate, Ryan..."

"No...sorry..." She pursed her lips when she saw something, so she couldn't let herself laugh.

"Ska, you forgot to knock on the door." Ryan quickly withdrew his hand and glared at the blonde girl, "When did you come."

"I just arrived."

Scarlett was careless and didn't care at all, so he ran to Natalie, "I called the Hilton Hotel, Nat was not here. I guess she must have come here, so she came..."

"Nat, I didn't see anything." She turned to Natalie with a smile.

"Come on. Scarlett." Natalie made a zipper move, and Scarlett nodded hurriedly, "I'm not Taylor's big mouth, don't worry."

"Oh, this is the document that George asked me to bring." Scarlett Johnson stuffed the file bag to Ryan, went to the refrigerator next to him to pick up two boxes of juice, threw it to Natalie a box, and asked curiously, "What confidential document is this? Isn't George afraid that I will peek?"

"It was just the North American box office rankings last week."

Ryan sat on a thick mat where he practiced self-defense. Natalie pulled Scarlett to sit beside him and asked, "What is the first week of "The Rest of the Desert Island"?"

"Oh, Nat actually cared about the box office, it's really rare."

Deliberately blocking the two girls' sight, Ryan squeezed his eyes and said with a smile, "Guess, guess right, there will be a prize."

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie was too lazy to ask. If there were other suspense, but the box office was just a bunch of numbers for Ryan. She pulled Scarlett up, "I'm going back to change my clothes, let's go, Scarlett, let's go together."

"Nate, aren't you curious?" Scarlett followed and asked unwillingly, "Aren't you worried about Ryan losing money?"

“How much does this movie have to do with the production cost plus the promotional budget?”

"It seems like $100 million."

"Ska, do you think movies can make profits based on box office alone?"

"Not counting the embedded advertising revenue, Ryan's movies can earn money back at the North American box office."

"Since I can make money, what's there to worry about?"

"It seems that's the reason..."

The two girls' voices became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely. Ryan shook his head and stood up to walk towards the main building. There should be no suspense in the box office. Now the focus of his work should be shifted to the publicity and public relations.

Sony Columbia Pictures has always been looking forward to opening up the Hollywood era that truly belongs to them. The success of the "Jurassic Park" series has allowed them to see the influence of monster movies in North America, believing that bigger and stronger monsters are enough to attract American audiences. The huge success of the first week of box office seems to confirm this.

But Sony Entertainment overlooked a very important thing: Godzilla is an alien monster, and before the movie was released, the novel laid out a lot of publicity, especially behind this series, there is the person who is now known as the representative of Hollywood commercial films.

This man's latest masterpiece is also chosen in the hot Christmas season.

In fact, when the long queues were lined up in front of the theater for three days on weekends, Sony Pictures already had a very bad premonition. These people who lined up were definitely not for "Godzilla", because although the box office in the first week was successful, the movie had a bad reputation. Not only was it attacked by film critics, most of the audiences surveyed immediately were also dissatisfied with the movie.

Facts prove this. "Godzilla" shrank sharply in the second week, with a box office figure of only a little over $15 million. He could only try to raise his head and look up at "The Rest of the Desert Island".

As Christmas is approaching, the movie that triggered the box office has finally arrived. The premiere day is more than 22 million US dollars, the next day is more than 23 million US dollars, and the third day is more than 26 million US dollars, which adds up to more than 71 million US dollars. This is the first week of "The Rest of the Desert Island".

Although it is quite far from the record of "Titanic", not even comparable to "Jurassic Park 2" in the summer, it is already very rare for such a movie that is supported by an actor.

With the investment from both sides, if the single-round production cost is only $55 million.

Moreover, "Life in Desert Island" has received rave reviews. If you don't talk about those critics, you will gain a very high reputation among the audience alone. The power of word-of-mouth after the movie is released is sometimes the best publicity method.

To be honest, the movie leaves the audience with too many plots worth pondering and imagining, such as the wings that run through the movie, such as several conversations between Chuck and Kelly, such as the final intersection, etc.

Even the pink wings on the email at the beginning of the video are interpreted by some people as a hint that Mr. Peterson had an affair, which makes people admire the power of his brain.

However, this benefit is obvious. The development of the Internet brings smooth information. Many people think that after a new discovery, they can't wait to share it. Various fan websites and Ryan's personal web pages have become channels for carrying. These views are seen by others, and a considerable number of people will go back to the theater to confirm these views.

In addition, those who enter the theater because of their feelings, although the number of repeated viewers cannot be compared with "Titanic", they also account for a considerable proportion.

The most direct reaction to the movie's good reputation among the audience is that the box office of "The Rest of the Desert Island" in the second week did not show much decline, and the figure of 64.55 million US dollars is still respecting all the movies of the same period.

As for "Godzilla", the momentum is obviously insufficient, and even dropped out of the top three in the box office rankings in the third week. It is completely a fantasy to rely on the North American box office to recover costs.

Although this is a normal film market competition, Ryan and Sony Columbia Pictures have no intention of confronting each other. Since the other party gave up Tom Cruise, the grudges at that time have disappeared, and both parties even have a lot of common interests in "Spider-Man". After all, the copyright of the Peter Parker TV series is still in the hands of Sony.

But the media won't care about so many things. As long as the topic can be hyped up, they won't let it go easily.

"The modern version of Robinson vs. Godzilla, Ryan Jenkins overwhelmed the monster with just one little finger!"

There are many reports like this. These guys wish that the more messy Hollywood is, the better, so that they can have reports to write and make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, neither Ryan nor Sony Columbia were both lazy to pay attention to these guys.

Sony Columbia is busy with the overseas release of "Godzilla". Since the failure of the box office in North America has become a foregone conclusion, the cost must be recovered from other regions, especially in Japan.

Ryan wants to promote the film because Jenkins Pictures and Paramount made full preparations in advance. One week after "The Rest of the Island" landed in North America, it began to appear in several of the most important overseas markets.

In the following week, the movie was released in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Western Europe and Russia in Eastern Europe.

In fact, if possible, Ryan would like to try to achieve a global simultaneous premiere in several major output areas of the box office, but in this era, this can only be considered temporarily.

But what Ryan didn't expect was that after the movie landed in Russia, the Russian Duma's spokesperson actually protested against the producer at a regular press conference! (To be continued...)
