Chapter five hundred and ninety-two about the new script
Although "Looking for Nemo" mentioned that clown fish is a kind of seawater fish, and the cleaning and maintenance of saltwater fish tanks are both troublesome and expensive, it still triggered a wave of pet clown fish purchases in the United States after its release. Many pet stores have placed this fish in the most conspicuous position in the store.
In New York and Los Angeles, clown fish are sold out of stock.
Faced with the sudden rise of clown fish farming among teenagers and the subsequent tight supply, pet shop owners in North America saw huge business opportunities. They tried their best to contact fishmongers in the South Pacific region in order to make enough profits in this craze.
In North America, the price of pet clownfish has increased by three to five times.
High profits naturally drive people's enthusiasm. In several areas near Australia, clown fish are being captured and sold in large quantities because of the pet demand brought by this movie.
Fortunately, this is not a way to cherish fish, otherwise it is really possible to face extinction. However, this has also attracted protests from many animal protectors. Some guys who love animals more than humans even ran to the Burbank Pixar studio to sit in protest.
However, even though their protests have never stopped, merchants will only choose to ignore them in the face of huge interests.
Ryan will definitely not miss any opportunity to hype and promote the movie. Disney's subsequent promotional activities have not stopped. With the help of negative or positive news, "Looking for Nemo" continues to make rapid progress in the animated film market, and a craze has set off around the world.
In the following three weeks, the film received US$45.3 million, US$35.6 million and US$19.72 million in North America respectively. In just over a month, the cumulative box office in North America exceeded US$250 million!
At the same time, the global box office has accumulated nearly US$500 million. Regions such as South America, Hong Kong, South Korea and Eastern Europe have just begun to showcase, and there is still huge potential to be tapped in box office.
Just like New Zealand during "The Lord of the Rings", "Looking for Nemo"'s hit worldwide has driven Australia's tourism industry.
Over the past month, the tourism revenue on the East Coast of Australia has increased by 155% compared with the same period. Most tourists who visit Australia hope to dive on the East Coast of Australia and go to "find Nemo".
In addition, through Nicole's relationship, the Australian Tourism Commission quickly reached an agreement with Disney to buy out the copyright of "Looking for Nemo"'s tourism use at a high price. In the next few months, these clips will be used to promote tourism in Australia in sales activities in regions such as China and the United States.
The news was soon learned by the media, and they were also happy to hype such news to attract attention. A famous travel magazine also wrote this in the report.
"Are those tourist areas with beautiful scenery but not well-known yet still troubled by the lack of tourists? Go and find Ryan Jenkins as soon as he can conceive a movie related to it, these will not be a problem!"
Although these hypes are a bit exaggerated, "Looking for Nemo" has indeed driven Australia's tourism industry.
In addition to praise for the film's praise for Pixar Studios, many media have also focused on Ryan, such as the Hollywood Reporter.
"Think about the reason why Ryan is great is that in addition to the founding of the famous Jenkins Films and creating the youngest Oscar winner, he also bought Pixar Studios with his foresight and became the pioneer of 3D computer animation. Ryan's unique personal charm is as impressive as a prophet! The animation films such as "Toy Story" that he promoted were pioneers in 3D animation. From then on, this 3D whirlwind swept the world, taking all ages and young, and capturing the hearts of thousands of children's parents and animation fans!"
Compared to the warm summer atmosphere, during the period after "Looking for Nemo", Ryan almost buried himself in the pile of information in addition to dating and handling necessary work.
Disney's authorization negotiations with the CIA had the final result, and the other party agreed to adapt the Iranian hostage rescue incident into a movie, but the movie must accept their relevant suggestions.
Ryan agreed very happily. After all, this is almost the most classic case of CIA and a masterpiece of Hollywood's cooperation with the CIA. The most important thing is that when filming the movie, the other party will not only send professional consultants throughout the process, but will not charge any fees, including the right to adapt.
You should know that the 9-11 incident made the CIA a topic of public opinion. For some time, the CIA has been frequently attacked in the United States, and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security has weakened their status.
The CIA is in urgent need of reshaping its image in the public's mind, and in their opinion, working with Ryan on a film is definitely a wise choice.
This is the case. At least from the surface, Cia has a completely positive image in this case.
After the cooperation agreement was reached, a large number of declassified materials were escorted from the CIA headquarters in Vernegia by a special person to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. Antonio Mendez, who personally participated in the formulation and implementation of the plan, was also taken here by Ryan, and the first draft of his memoir was handed over to Ryan.
In the past month, Ryan not only led several important members of the screenwriter team to review these information, but also talked with Antonio Mendez about more than twenty times. After all, he was going to play the nameless or legendary hero of Cia, and the most incredible rescue operation will be performed - using a disguised as a Hollywood film crew to rescue the trapped Americans in Iran, and finally succeeded.
The name of this movie was named "Argo" that Cia bought at that time!
Movies are not reality. Both Cia and Antonio Mendez understand this, and some changes and processing are also necessary.
Iran is undoubtedly one of the hostile countries of the United States, which determines the most basic position of the film. Looking at this incident from a sympathetic or relatively fair perspective can also highlight the demeanor of a major power.
As for the Iranians’ views, who cares about them, it is basically impossible for Hollywood movies to enter that market anyway.
Moreover, the movie must meet the tastes of North American audiences and Hollywood. In this way, Antonio Mendez, as the protagonist, must become a lone hero living in the secret front, especially after entering Iran, this must be highlighted. Personal heroism will never be outdated in North America or even in movies around the world.
In addition, there are a few teammates who always make trouble at critical moments. Well... it seems that there is no better suited person than the staff officers around the president?
The plot cannot be as dull and unremarkable as the reaction in the data. It must be tense and exciting enough to escape from the evil armed personnel at the critical moment.
You can also add some Hollywood-style self-deprecating, which are also popular plots for viewers.
Of course, the theme of the movie must be clear and the most basic political correctness must be maintained.
After about two weeks, Ryan determined the theme and ideas of the movie and sorted out the outline of the script. Although some simple scenes were handed over to other screenwriters to write, he would complete most of the main content himself.
The Jenkins Manor is extremely quiet under the night. Apart from the footsteps of the security personnel who are frequently inspecting, there are almost no other sounds.
On the brightly lit terrace, Ryan sat in a rattan chair. After occasionally thinking, his hands would fall on the laptop keyboard and type in lines of text.
Scene: Embassy Visa Hall.
While the people waiting for the visa were overwhelmed, six Americans walked into the hall, their targeting was the back door, where there were no Shiite Iranians…
After writing this, Ryan paused, thought for about half a minute, and then revised it again.
After six Americans entered the hall, an embassy assistant who knew Iranians shouted to the Iranians waiting for their visas, "Escape from the embassy building and evacuate the embassy building immediately!"
Another helped maintain order, saying, “Let the Iranians go first.”
He pointed to the passage at the back door and said, "Hurry up, leave here immediately!"
Scene change: Iranians are in front and Americans are in back, and they escaped from the embassy through the back door.
This kind of movie that is deeply involved in politics can show great Americanism in some appropriate places. If you think about it in another way, that is, the eldest brother will definitely protect the younger brother who is following behind him.
After looking at the time on the laptop screen, Ryan turned off the script's documentation and thought about other issues.
The most important thing is the director, actors, and prop investment. It is not a problem for him and Disney. Choosing a suitable director is undoubtedly the focus of the next work.
In the past week, Ryan has tried to contact several directors with a script outline and some drafts of Antonio Mendez's memoir.
For example, David Finch, who is preparing for "Trending Space" that was postponed for directing "Captain America", will take on this job still be unknown.
There is also Martin Scorsese. Old Martin is indeed very interested in this subject, but he has questions about the cooperation with Ryan. It is not whether it can be successful, but that he does not want to face such a strong actor and producer in the crew.
Next is Stephen Soderbergh, but this is the last choice. Now Soderbergh's filming style is becoming more and more experimental, and there is a clear distance from Ryan's goal.
Maybe let Ben Affleck try it?
As soon as this idea arose, Ryan rejected it himself. In that case, it would be more reliable to find Natalie directly.
The people in his team have not only contacted these people. Anyway, the script has not been completed yet, and there is enough time to find a suitable director. Ryan is not in a hurry, and the three most important candidates have not yet expressed their clear rejection.
