Chapter 435: Consideration
Is there any media in this world that is completely from an objective perspective?
Perhaps in a very short period of time, some media can reach this level, but in most of the time, whether it is a reputation-oriented newspaper or a tabloid that likes to hype, they all have their own positions.
The Sun is no exception, and the most affecting it is undoubtedly the capital that controls it.
Although the Sun occasionally reveals some of the Murdoch family's gossip to show its "fair" attitude, some minefields will not be touched on their own initiative.
It can go against the government, be enemies of the British royal family, and offend the entire Merseyside without any concern, because in this society where "freedom of speech" is shouting loudly, they really don't have many ways to deal with it.
But in the face of capital, no matter how crazy the Sun is, it has to bow its head, especially when facing the capital that controls the newspaper.
"Gladiator" in his previous life was a masterpiece produced by DreamWorks, but Ryan would not choose DreamWorks because the other party's influence in the media was far from enough, so he chose Twentieth Century Fox as his partner.
This is also one of the reasons why reporters from the Sun were able to enter the set.
In essence, there is not much difference between movies and other commercial products. Lack of advertising means no one cares about it.
"Rome! Rome! Rome! In any world history research work, it seems that few authors are free from the vulgarity. When referring to the name of this empire, they can give themselves passionate sighs like singing and chanting."
"I believe that many people who love history have the earliest sense of world history forever started with the Roman Empire. Even if you take a small clip from the history of the Roman Empire, you will think that it is an epic!"
"Ryan must have similar ideas. His new film is to choose a very small element in the heyday of the Roman Empire, and then join forces with the famous director Ridley Scott to create a magnificent epic masterpiece."
"The movie is still being filmed, and the final result is unknown, but what the reporter saw and heard on the set felt the shock from the soul..."
"In order to truly reproduce the glorious and great empire, the crew spent a lot of money. It took several months to build an ancient Roman city and a huge gladiator. If it weren't for the crew and a series of modern facilities, it would have made people feel like they were returning to the Roman Empire."
"If you don't talk about the scenes that the crew reappeared and the various props carefully created, just being an actor is enough to attract our attention..."
"I believe everyone has read the novel of the same name published by Ryan. Although the plot will change a lot after it is adapted into a movie. But Ryan and Leonardo DiCaprio, the friend Ryan and Leonardo DiCaprio, have co-starred in two of the most important roles."
"Just yesterday, the reporter saw their scenes of the scenes of their scenes. The scenes of the two superstars performing live are really exciting, and while performing the show, the two also fought and staged an extremely exciting gladiatorial scene. I believe this will become one of the most attractive scenes in the movie."
"Ryan was not affected by the defeat of the best actor, and he devoted himself to the role as always. Under his wonderful interpretation, everyone on the scene could understand what wisdom, justice, responsibility and dignity are... "
Although the Sun's reputation is not too exaggerated, this report is reprinted by several large media afterwards and sent back to North America, which has attracted widespread attention. For several consecutive years, Ryan will release at least one heavyweight work every year. Except for the "Pianist" that was very popular last year, which one is not a typical example of a double-winning reputation and box office success?
After the genius liar, the British ship, modern Robinson and Polish artist, he turned his attention to one of the most glorious empires in history. Without further consideration, the bloody profession of "Gladiator" in history will definitely become the focus of attention of movie fans and people.
For a time, gladiator became a popular term in the media and the Internet.
Jenkins Films officially launched the film's promotional plan, and the media introductions about gladiators and the Roman Empire emerged one after another. Ryan's slandered short story "Gladiator" that was sensible, also appeared in a prominent position in "Vanity Fair".
The movie is still being filmed, and the publicity is far from being done, so it is enough to maintain the proper topic.
"Why must it be released this year, Ryan?"
Just after filming a fight scene, Ryan sat in a chair and gasped. Ridley Scott came over and said with complaints, "For such a movie, half a year of post-production time is too tight."
"This was what we agreed at the beginning. You won't regret it?" Ryan pointed to the chair next to him, made a gesture to him, and said in a low voice, "What is this movie for? I think you should be very clear. Ridley, I promise that as long as there is no problem with the post-production, I will do my best to win you a best director nomination!"
Interest is the best weapon to impress people, Ryan knows this well.
"We're going to speed up the shooting!" Ridley Scott turned around and said before leaving, "Ryan, I hope you don't leave the crew and run back for vacation alone like you did some time ago."
"Hey, I'm going back to handle the work." Ryan waved his hand in dissatisfaction.
"Tell me honestly, Ryan." Leonardo, who was sitting on the other side, drank the hot coffee in the cup and came over, "Which beauty did you go on a date with? Let me think about it, the media had hyped Natalie Portman's swearing at Harvard a few days ago, and she had never left the media's sight. It shouldn't be her... Well, that's Charlize Theron, right?"
Ryan is still the same, neither admitting nor denying it.
However, Leonardo is an expert in picking up girls. Seeing this, he immediately lowered his voice and said gossip, "Wow, wow, Ryan, when did you catch the South African diamond? Can you tell me in detail? This is a very, very selling gossip..."
"Leon, our gladiator scene has not been finished yet. Should I cut your upper arm next time or your neck? Maybe the mouth is a good choice." At this point, Ryan had already laughed and joked, "I think Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, who has lost his teeth, may be more popular with female models."
"Come on, Ryan." Leonardo's mouth trembled, "My mouth has always been very strict!"
He has been in Hollywood for many years and knows what to say, what not to say, what to say, what to choose to turn a blind eye and listen to it.
The handsome young man turned his eyes and quickly changed the topic, "Ryan, I heard you have a lot of experience in Oscar's PR?"
"Don't worry, Leon, as long as you perform well enough." Ryan patted his shoulders, stood up and walked to the side. George was waving to him, and before leaving, he finally reminded him, "Digest more Comodes' heart."
Walking out of the lounge area, Ryan asked George, "What's the matter?"
"Pate's phone." The bodyguard handed over the satellite phone coolly, "It seems that there is something urgent, she asks you to call back as soon as possible."
After finding a secluded place, Ryan called Pigkinsley. It must be very important that the agent can give George this advice.
"What happened, Pat?"
"That's right, Ryan." Pai Jinsley seemed to be searching for something, and after waiting for a while, he said again, "The organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival sent an invitation..."
"I... don't seem to have any videos to participate in the exhibition?" Ryan was a little surprised. "I don't hold any position in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Ang Lee took "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Unlike his previous life, for publicity purposes, he and Xu Ligong signed up for the competition unit and were also qualified.
"Ryan, can you hear me say it's all right?"
"Okay, you go ahead, Pat."
"The organizing committee invites you to serve as a judge."
Ryan was even more surprised when he heard Kingsley say this, "It seems that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival have confirmed in advance, right? What's going on?"
"Actor Etana Sanche Nyon from Italy temporarily withdrew from the jury due to physical discomfort. After Luc Besson solicited the opinions of the film festival organizing committee, he sent you an invitation." Perhaps it was clear that Ryan didn't care much about the European Film Festival, Jinslie explained again, "Luc is the chairman of the jury this time, and he will call you personally tomorrow."
"It seems that the Cannes Film Festival is determined to move closer to business." Ryan sighed slightly.
With the prosperity of Hollywood movies, the three major European film festivals were inevitably affected. Although strictly counted, Oscars are the product of Hollywood's self-entertainment, but their status in the hearts of ordinary movie fans around the world has long surpassed the traditional three major film festivals.
In order to avoid decline, the Cannes Film Festival has tried commercial reforms since several years ago. This year, Luc Besson, a completely commercial director, served as the chairman of the jury.
"Ryan, if you are not interested, I will reject Luke for you." Jinsley interrupted his thoughts. After thinking about it, Ryan said, "Let's do this, you can handle it for me first."
Even though he is a substitute judge, isn’t that also a judge?
Besides, mid-May is his next vacation time. He had made an appointment with Leonardo to go to Cannes Beach to watch Victoria's Secret show together, and just go to see art film workers all over the world and prepare for this Cannes Film Festival?
There is also Harvey Weinstein, a big fat man who called some time ago, also said that he would participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and his purpose was to buy those movies at a low cost.
By the way, why not make some moves in private and let "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" take away the Palme d'Or?
Anyway, this is a movie you participate in investing in. The more you get the profit, the happier you will naturally be. But will this become the public enemy of European filmmakers?
The pros and cons need to be carefully considered.
