If "The God of Death is Coming" was released ten years earlier or even five years ago, failure is much more likely than success. After all, there are huge differences in the way of thinking between the West and the East.

Ryan still remembers that in 1995, Lionsgate Pictures commissioned Garcia's survey and consulting company to conduct a questionnaire in North America. Among the questionnaires that were fed back, more than 70% of horror movie enthusiasts still believed that the more people died in the movie, the more terrifying it was, and the bloodier it was, the more terrifying it was.

In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet in North America, information transmission has shown an explosive growth. Many things from the East, like Jack Chen's movies and Bai Ge Wu's violent aesthetics, have gradually been understood by American audiences. Culture brings not only differences, but also mystery.

Mystery is sometimes very attractive.

In addition, Tom Hanks was the representative of American men in the 1990s. He had many hard-core supporters in North America, some of whom wanted to see how Big Tom's son was better than his father.

Because of the long lifespan of this series, Ryan had specially checked the information in his previous life. He vaguely remembered that there were only 600 theaters in the first week of the movie, but it got a box office of $10 million. The box office of a single studio of more than $15,000 is indeed amazing.

Although this life is still a genre film, Ryan's past achievements have become the most powerful evidence of persuasion. As long as he can see hope for profit, those theater bosses will not care about what type of film it is.

"2,950 theaters in the first week, with a box office of $36.52 million."

Ryan is sitting in Jenkins Films' own office. Although the chairman of the company is Nicole, everyone knows who is the real owner of the company. "So, Tommy, don't worry. Your investment will be recovered by a lot, and maybe you will see profits in two weeks."

“I never worried about the box office.”

Tom Hanks, who was sitting opposite, took the documents handed over by Ryan and quickly looked it over, "Do you have any good suggestions on Colin's development?"

Ryan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, saying that his parents were pitiful. When Colin Hanks entered this industry, Tom Hanks was worried that his son would not be famous. Now a movie has completely gained fame, and he is worried that he will not be able to successfully transform after becoming a youth idol.

From him, Ryan couldn't help but think of Nicole ten years ago. At that time, the Australian girl had tried her best for him. When she jumped out, she was worried that he would become more and more lawless and when she was quiet, she was afraid that he would be autistic in the future without friends...

As for Colin Hanks, in the last year of his previous life, the other party was not as popular as a week after "The God of Death" was released, and it attracted media attention, more because he was Tom Hanks' son.

Sometimes, it is also a tragedy to have such a successful dad.

However, Tom Hanks sighed with emotion and didn't expect Ryan to answer. As an actor who climbed from the lowest level to the top step by step, his experience in this area is much richer than Ryan.

"How are you thinking about investing in Brothers?" Tom Hanks changed the topic.

DreamWorks has invested heavily in "Pearl Harbor". This series will definitely adopt the method of financing and shooting, and investors like Ryan who invest very happily and rarely interfere with the normal operation of the crew are naturally the most popular target.

"Let's do it. Tommy, the North American box office profit of "The God of Death" will be an investment in this series."

After a few days of busyness, Ryan's team has already come to the results. Although there is still uncertainty, it can at least recover the cost, right?

Sending Tom Hanks away, Ryan sat back on his office chair and considered the TV series.

There is no doubt that successful TV series are also the big ones for profit. Moreover, in Hollywood production, when the TV series' ratings drop and cannot make profits, just cut it directly.

There are many successful American dramas in his previous life, but unfortunately he has only heard of some names, but he has never even watched them. Jenkins Pictures has never involved production in this area. To be safe, he will only invest after hearing a familiar name.

I believe that American dramas that I can remember their names should be all very popular in my previous lives.

Ryan quickly threw away his ideas about American dramas. Movies are his main business and the direction of future development. Although in terms of making money alone, Jenkins Pictures has not yet made much money from the stock market for its profits from films and derivatives in recent years since its establishment.

Although it is incomparable to the seven major film companies, and Ryan has never thought of comparing with them or surpassing them, after years of development, Jenkins Pictures has indeed stood at a very high position in Hollywood second-tier film companies, especially in the hands of a series of movies that can sustainably make profits.

The earliest "Home Imperial" series was sold to Touchstone Pictures with copyright, and now it has become a TV movie on Disney TV's children's channel.

The "Jurassic Park" series, the "Scream" series, the "Scream" series, the "Mission: Impossible" series, the "Death is Coming" series, and the "Terminator" series obtained after the acquisition of Carlock Pictures, etc., are all guarantees of future profitability.

There are also series of animation movies from Blue Sky Studio and Pixar Studio later.

In addition, Tina Fey's editorial team is adapting "Very Little Spy" from "Ryan's Story Collection" and will start shooting at the latest next year. All-age movies are typical of low input and high output.

Maybe you can bring together Taylor and Tomboy and other kids, and then shoot a movie called "Very Little Spy". When they grow up, they will definitely be shocked.

This is definitely a good idea.

A fierce knock on the door sounded, and Melanie Sloan pushed the door and walked in, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Ryan, director Polansky still disagrees with the film's premiere in North America." She sat opposite Ryan, "He insisted on attending next year's Cannes Film Festival."

The films participating in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival must premiere during the film festival. Ryan can't wait for that time. He has no interest in European film festivals, and "Pianist" was not for the Cannes Film Festival.

"Can't communicate?" Ryan asked.

In order to win the approval of director Roman Polasky, Jenkins Films has given great sincerity and even delayed the release of the trailer.

Melanie Sloan shook her head slowly but firmly. She was a gentle person. If Julius Stewart, who was in charge of the movie, would have turned against the old man.

"Since that's the case, let's put him aside." Ryan also called himself, and Roman Polansky showed the stubborn side of European filmmakers.

The power of Hollywood films is always in the hands of the producer, not the director. I have communicated repeatedly and the other party does not agree, so I can only do this.

It's impossible for him or Julius to go to France and beg Polansky to nod, right?

After talking to Ryan about the trailer, Melanie Sloan went out to prepare to release the trailer related work as soon as possible.

After looking at the time, Ryan picked up the phone and pressed Natalie's mobile phone number. The girl from Long Island is far away in Cambridge City, Boston.

"Ryan, when will you come?"

After the phone was connected, Natalie's complaining voice was the first to ring, "You said you would accompany me to Harvard to report, but you still can't see anyone."

"That..." When Natalie started school, it happened to be the time when Ryan was injured. "Nate, how is college life like?"

"Want to listen to the truth or lies?" She seemed very interested.

"Tell all the lies and the truth." Ryan also had the awareness of cooperation.

"Like lies in Harvard's air with the breath of knowledge, which makes people devote themselves to it and deeply intoxicated in it and unable to extricate themselves."

"What about the truth?" Ryan asked again.

"My new classmates are too naive and curious. They gather around me every day in the first few weeks of school, chattering non-stop. And some of your fans even asked me to pass on the letter to you!"

"Queen Amidala's charm is indeed endless."

"Please call me Natalie, thank you!" Natalie was obviously gritting her teeth to remind her.

"Now, they should adapt to your existence?" Ryan threw her reminder aside, "Dear Nat."

"Well, there are fewer curious people now, but there are many more flies."

"Your suitor?"

"You're nervous, Ryan?" Natalie laughed, "I'm now experiencing your feelings. The flowers and letters you receive every day must be packed with the largest schoolbag."

"Do I need someone who specializes in collecting garbage?"

"Hey, the boy opposite, you'd better come over quickly, otherwise your girlfriend will be snatched away." Another woman's voice came from the phone vaguely.

"Emily, shut up!" This was Natalie's voice.

Ryan frowned and asked, "Is that your roommate?"

"Yes, Emily is an advanced graduate student at Radcliffe College." Natalie introduced a few words in a small way, "and has also published a collection of poems."

"Ryan, when will you come to see me? If you come late..." Natalie said deliberately, "I may be chased away by someone else."

"Is that true, dear Nat." Ryan seemed to be joking, "There is only one kind of man who can chase you except me!"

"Who?"

“Those who have seen God!”

"Hmph~" Natalie's nasal sound rang on the phone, and then she asked again, "When will you come?"

"Soon, I promise!"

After putting down the phone, Ryan thought for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, Natalie will be at Harvard for four years, and he picked up the phone again.
Chapter completed!
