Chapter 358 Auction

The concept of regionality is in any country or nation, and the Russians are not short of it. Since the film market opened its arms to Hollywood, this vast land, like other parts of the world, was soon captured by Hollywood's commercial productions.

In a movie from Hollywood, it is absolutely something that the audience likes to have many images of their own country. The fact that "The Rest of the Desert Island" quickly occupied major theaters after entering Russia also proves this.

Red Square, Volga River, Lenin Cemetery and the ice and snow of Moscow. Like Ryan's powerful appeal, these attracted a large number of Russian audiences into the theater.

However, no one expected that at the latest regular press conference in the Russian Duma, the MP who served as the press spokesperson publicly protested against Ryan Jenkins, and even bombarded the film.

"Hollywood films always vilify the image of Russians, and this time they even describe Russians as lazy people who are procrastinating and have no concept of time. This is slandering the entire Russia. We should boycott Ryan Jenkins' movies and boycott "The Rest of the Desert Island""

This is what the MP said when facing the media. He even called on the Russian authorities to intervene directly and let "The Rest of the Desert Island" be removed from the theaters in advance.

The news soon spread back to North America. Although Russia is not a very important market, Ryan will not let this happen, and the necessary public relations work will be launched quickly.

In his words to Julius Stewart at the time, it was, ‘We can’t get along with anything, we can’t get along with money, even if it’s not a very valuable ruble.’

The other party obviously inherited the excellent traditions of the Soviet Union and exaggerated them at any time. The incident was elevated to the height of the entire country and nation.

Ryan keenly realized that Russia's reaction was so extreme that it was very likely to be related to the two Faberge eggs he got through the joints of Julius. After all, to a certain extent, this is one of the most representative works of art in Russia.

The problem is, for the sake of money, those of them dare to sell the entire country. How can the two small easter eggs be so serious?

After all, the government is a powerful institution, and Ryan will not be stupid enough to confront the Russian government head-on. Jenkins Film held a press conference as fast as possible. He specially invited reporters from Moscow, saying that "the plot of Chuck scolding Russian employees in the movie is actually a satirizing the workaholic Americans, without any intention of belittling the Russians."

Today, Russia is no longer the Soviet Union, and its government's influence has greatly declined. In addition, Jenkins Film responded quickly. After this self-deprecating statement was issued, the Russian market did not bring much adverse reactions. "The Rest of the Desert Island" almost dominated the film market of the polar bear in winter.

In the entire Western world, this film can be said to be both well-known and popular. It brings out a sense of life. Even surpasses "Robinson Crusoe", and Ryan's own crazy appeal, he won the box office championship in the release area without exception.

In the Far East, it is no exception. After "Titanic", Ryan became the most famous and box office Hollywood star in the region.

Even in Japan, where Godzilla was born, after maintaining the throne of box office championship for a week, "Godzilla" was pulled down from Malay by the later release of "The Rest of the Desert Island". The box office was simply a replica of North America. The two sides experienced serious polarization.

Sony Columbia Pictures made many mistakes in the project "Godzilla". It did not please the American audience, but also lost the support of Japan's birthplace. The huge production costs and publicity budget are difficult to recover through the box office, so we can only count on the subsequent derivatives market.

Of course, limited to the themes and Western values ​​of the movie, although "The Rest of the Desert Island" has achieved great success in the Far East, it is far inferior to "Jurassic Park 2" in the summer. Fortunately, the response in North America is getting hotter and the box office is almost superimposed with very stable numbers.

Some professionals can't understand why such a clichéd simple story - or the creativity that Tom Hanks, who has no talent in screenwriters, will have completely different effects when it comes to Ryan and Jenkins?

Although they overestimated the film, the sensation caused far more than they imagined.

The hottest topic in North America during Christmas is the discussion on "The Rest of the Desert Island". From the plot of the movie and from the protagonist Chuck, it seems that every audience can experience different unique feelings.

Even those young students who lack life experience express their views on movies on the Internet.

"If you encounter Chuck, can you survive?"

This is the hottest topic of discussion. Although they are a rebellious and confident generation, after rational analysis, they found that they might be like Chuck, with the existing conditions on the deserted island, and would not die due to hunger, but how can they bear that loneliness?

The continued popularity of topics will inevitably bring about a bumper box office harvest. The North American box office in the third week of "The Rest of the Desert Island" was frozen at a figure of over 59 million US dollars, defeating the weekly "Pulse Hour" released this week, and ranked first in the North American box office rankings for three consecutive weeks.

"strangeness."

Ryan thought about the newly released North American box office rankings, and Taylor, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Strange? What's strange?"

"Ah, nothing." Ryan shook his head.

He can't tell the little guy that the former "Rush Hour" should have been released long ago, and should not directly match his own movie in this fiercely competitive Christmas.

Forget it, no matter what, he doesn't have much interest in this series anyway, otherwise where will he get the new line?

"What are you thinking again? Ryan, if you don't take action, I'll call you for your number." The little girl's eyes fell on the license plate in Ryan's hand, "Don't forget, you promised me."

"Dear, patience is a virtue." Ryan shook his finger at her and lowered his voice, "It's only three thousand dollars now. Do you think Mr. Wilson is worth such a little money?"

Now is a charity dinner with celebrities gathered. Charity auction is an indispensable event. The best supporting volleyball 'Wilson' in the hearts of countless people is the item being auctioned.

"Five thousand dollars, now five thousand dollars..."

"Six thousand dollars, No. 10 bid for six thousand dollars." The host who was temporarily a auctioneer was showing off and joked, "This is not an ordinary volleyball player. 'Wilson' might be able to win the best supporting actor this year."

Her words attracted a lot of laughter below, and then more license plates gathered.

"Seven thousand dollars..."

"Eight thousand dollars..."

"Ten thousand dollars..."

"Ten fifteen thousand dollars!"

When this price appeared, the venue suddenly became quiet. It was said that "Wilson" was just a movie prop, and the price was already very high.

Looking at the little girl's eager appearance, even though she obviously pretended, Ryan still stuffed the license plate into his hand.

"Ten Six Thousand US dollars!"

The little girl's crisp voice was extremely attractive. After noticing the shifting gaze, she played a naughty way to stick out her tongue.

There were some people who thought she was making trouble, but after seeing who she was and who was sitting next to her, they immediately realized that this was definitely not the little girl who was deliberately naughty and making trouble.

"Whose child is this? What fun is it?"

Perhaps the scene was quieter, and a girl's voice came from the other side, which made Taylor glar, but there were too many people in the banquet hall to see who it was.

"Twenty thousand dollars!" It was still the female voice just now.

"Twenty-one thousand dollars!" Taylor was not showing any weakness.

"Thirty thousand dollars!" This is obviously a fight.

Ryan couldn't help but be curious that such charity auctions rarely show tit-for-tat scenes, and when the original owner of the item wanted to buy back the items he donated, the rest would basically not compete for it. This is the default rule in the celebrity circle.

Whose girl is this? She should not be old when she hears the sound.

"Thirty thousand dollars." Taylor would not hesitate if there was a rich man sitting next to him.

"Fifty thousand dollars!"

As soon as this sound came out, there was a little turmoil in the field. The money was not much, but it would be a bit of a loss when using such a number to buy a prop volleyball.

Many people looked over in the direction of the sound, while Ryan followed the eyes of most people and saw the girl who was obviously in a rebellious period with a rebellious look on her face.

The girl was not alone, and there was a slightly older young man sitting next to her. Ryan looked familiar with him, but he couldn't think of who it was.

"It's so annoying!"

Taylor has indeed restrained a lot recently, but he is just in front of Ryan and others, so he will not be polite to strangers. Her voice seemed to be muttering, but it was clearly spreading far away.

"Fifty-one thousand dollars!" Although she couldn't see the other person, she deliberately stuck out her tongue.

"Sixty thousand dollars!"

"Sixty thousand dollars!"

"Seventy thousand dollars!"

"Seventy thousand dollars!"

"Eighty thousand dollars..."

"Ryan, what should we do?" The little girl looked over with help. Ryan didn't say anything, but just gave him an encouraging look.

Five minutes later, the staff sent Mr. Wilson over. The little girl held the volleyball, aimed at the direction where the sound came, and wrinkled her nose hard.

Is it worth buying a volleyball for $100,000? Ryan doesn't care at all. Taylor is his favorite sister, as long as she is happy.

"Who is that person is, I don't know any rules." After all, he was a person who grew up in the upper class circle. Although Taylor was young, he knew a lot of things.

"I don't know." Ryan shook his head.
