"Life is a river. It just rushes forward and never looks back until it flows into the sea. The sea is surging, surging for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. In the depths of the blue, the immortal soul is whistling; no matter how suffering, life is unyielding. It will survive and reproduce tenaciously, and pursue light and happiness endlessly! As for life itself, what is fragile is not life itself, but the will that dominates life!"

Returning to North Hollywood from the theater, Ryan immediately updated his personal blog on Disney Ryan Family Online and wrote down his views on "127 Hours".

Now that Twitter and Facebook are far from rising, his blog is one of the most traffic-produced personal blogs in the United States and a good publicity platform.

Not long after, many replies followed, most of them were people who watched the video, and they all posted their comments on the video.

"Natalie makes drinking water like taking poison. The movie she directs is full of beautiful photography, and with warm tones and unique shots, a story that should be boring becomes much more interesting. Of course, Ryan's performance also makes a lot of contribution. He does not forget to sell meat while showing off his skills. He grits his teeth and watches the scene of self-rescue by himself. Although it is not as bloody as the publicity, it is very painful and touching."

"I think what the video reflects is not only a kind of survival, but also a kind of spiritual culture. Who can not be moved when perseverance and courage burst out?"

"It turns out that love is the source of motivation for life. If it weren't for the perception of love, the male protagonist would not have been able to escape the predicament with a stone in order to continue his survival. Although he had to face one-handed response in his later life, the continuation of love is the ultimate goal of each of us. Because of love, persist, and because of love, sacrifice!"

"In addition to Ryan and Natalie, I also want to praise Allen Ruston. He is like our Ryan, a real man, making the most difficult choices in the most dangerous times, not only for himself, but also for the people he loves!"

"It's really heart-wrenching. But it's also very exciting. The characters' inner portrayal is full."

"I admire the warrior who cuts his arms with a small fruit knife. If I were to stab myself to death with a knife..."

Although most of the people who leave comments have good comments, the number of people who leave comments is too much less than Ryan's past commercial productions. The theme type of the film naturally limits the audience.

However, such videos have always been a type that the critics like, not to mention that whether it is directed by Natalie or Ryan's performance, they are indeed remarkable.

"Even without the invasion of torture instruments and ghosts, a biography-based film can still make you forget to breathe when it presents the hideous nature step by step! The difficulty of "127 Hours" is not something that every man can overcome. Ryan Jenkins and Natalie Portman have jointly created an inspiring film. Through this film, you will restrain your future behavior, but at the same time, it will cheer you up and let you live happily."

——The Los Angeles Times

"Natalie Portman filmed an important film about human nature, telling people a story of perseverance. It is a bright road for those in disaster, and the role played by Ryan Jenkins completely fascinates the audience. If the Oscar is not nominated next year, it will be the jury that will be blind!"

——The Washington Post

"Only a truly visionary filmmaker can set the story largely in a small canyon and unfold it from it, bringing hope. Is this movie worth watching? Yes, it's not to be missed!"

——"USA Today"

"A movie that can be recorded in the history of 'great', 127 Hours brings us an unforgettable journey. Natalie Portman controls every shot of the movie, stimulating the audience's nerves, and is more attractive than a large-scene war film. It is quite difficult for her to shoot such quality in a narrow space. In addition, Ryan Jenkins' performance is natural, meticulous, and can soften the horror and humor together. This is a movie worth watching for everyone."

——The New York Times

It is no exaggeration to say that the film has received praise from most media. Originally, this type of subject matter is easily recognized by the critics. Moreover, Ryan never did less work in private. He and his public relations team have great experience in how to operate the film during the awards season.

The film has just been released, and it is just November. Pai Jinsley has officially taken over the public relations work of the film, and Disney's resources will also cooperate with her actions. Many heavyweight judges have received invitations to play videos and party after Thanksgiving.

In addition, a total of up to 50,000 hardcover Blu-ray discs are being produced. The fine movie commemorative tableware and Disney's limited edition commemorative dolls ordered from Royal British Supplies have been prepared.

This is just the beginning of a series of PR programs.

Today's Oscars, although the quality of the film can be regarded as the basis, is getting closer to the game of public relations and money. Although the judges dare not blatantly accept too expensive gifts, the costs spent on public relations by producers and publishers in recent years have soared.

A film that wants to make a difference in awards season may cost only more than 10 million or even millions of dollars, and the total expense spent on PR is often far exceeding the production cost.

Last year, Disney threw out $10 million in PR fees for the best film of "Argo" by a Little Golden Man.

This is the film that fits the social and political situation at that time, otherwise it would not have been a rival to "Million Dollar Baby", which invested more in this area.

In the academic terms, public relations is a manifestation of the will to compete freely, but the Oscars tend to be closer to mainstream European football leagues. The crew who spent a lot of dollars may not win the prize, but the crew who won the prize must have thrown out a lot of dollars.

Of course, Ryan knew very well that Natalie's age, qualifications, etc. were much worse than Sofia Coppola in previous years. It was basically impossible to win an award, and nominations were more realistic.

As for the box office of the film, you can just add various copyrights in the later stage to recover the cost.

The production cost of "127 Hours" is only more than $10 million, and Ryan only received a symbolic salary of $500,000. Even if the promotional and marketing costs are included, the total investment will not exceed $30 million.

However, if the film wants to make a difference in the awards season, it is necessary to increase investment, which will also be included in the total investment of the film.

In terms of box office in North America, it is better than Ryan expected. He received $11.35 million in 800 theaters in the first three days of the first week, and the box office of a single museum successfully exceeded $10,000. The number of theaters in the second week is bound to increase.

Sure enough, the number of theaters in the second week increased to more than 1,180, earning more than 4.6 million US dollars in the first four days, and earning $5 million in the three days of the second weekend.

Ten days after its release, such a film won more than $20 million in North America, which is barely a surprise.

Although some tabloids talk about his relationship with Natalie, few people criticized this as a box office failure. After all, niche movies are niche movies, and they will not become mainstream commercial movies that kill audiences just because they change the director and starring role.

There is a huge gap between the audiences of niche and mainstream commercial films. The media is not a fool, and it is not so stupid that it can't even distinguish this situation.

"Congratulations, Nat."

After the new Monday arrived, Ryan did not go to Disney and hid in Natalie's bedroom and enjoyed a rare leisure time. "You became a ten-million dollar director."

Natalie, who was sitting on him, slowly shook her hips and carefully experienced the ultimate happiness brought by the friction. "Is it very special? It feels like it's still very far away from $100 million."

"Don't forget, Nat." Ryan grabbed her slender waist and moved it hard a few times. Natalie pressed down her hands and pressed his chest, "Don't move around, we've agreed."

"All right."

Stopped, Ryan let Natalie swing on it, continuing the topic just now, "The director who can get a box office of tens of millions of dollars in North America has already gained a foothold in Hollywood."

Like a large number of actors, Hollywood also has countless directors of all sizes, and among them, they can get tens of millions of dollars in box office, just like the actors who can become famous, with very few.

As for the female directors, who are still active now, you can basically count them by just flipping your hands.

Suddenly, Natalie lay on his body, and the pair of brown eyebrows fell into a horoscope, and she said breathlessly, "Ryan, I don't have the strength, hurry up, send me up..."

Ryan turned over and pressed her down, but in just a few dozen seconds, Natalie's extremely excited screams rang out in the bedroom.

"You stayed in it again!"

As he calmed down, Natalie bit his shoulder hard, Ryan pulled her face and kissed the little mole, "Don't you want to be a mom?"

"I'm only 24 years old!" Natalie grinded her teeth, "Even if she wanted to, it wasn't now."

"Okay." Ryan shrugged, picked her up and walked towards the bathroom, and said clearly, "Your career is just beginning, and it's not yet time to be a mother. I understand, Nat."

"I heard that China and China have sent you a formal invitation to visit?" Lying in the spacious bathtub, Natalie let Ryan wash her smooth skin with warm water. "I remember you were there once last year as the chairman of the Disney board?"

"This time it's not just Disneyland." Ryan closed the water valve, jumped into the bathtub, and lay beside Natalie. "It's related to multiple cooperations, and I have agreed to go to China early next year."

"It's for the benefit of the whole thing." Natalie pointed to the essence.
