Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth trivial work
After the Golden Globe Awards, it was the time for media to have a carnival. Just like in previous years, all kinds of criticisms continued to appear, and even every winner would be taken out by the media, put them under a microscope and carefully observed them, and then came to the conclusion of public relations and shady stories. Anyway, the Golden Globe Awards have been scolded for so many years, and the media has long become a habit.
Over the past few decades, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been exercising enough, even if there are really some shameful things in it, they remain unmoved.
The award has been awarded, and no matter whether the jury is as stupid as the media described it, it will not take the award back.
Natalie and Scarlett Johnson gathered Sophia Coppola, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Kristen Stewart to go on vacation to hold a women's carnival party, while Ryan started his busy work again.
Public relations work cannot be relaxed until the night of the Oscars. Even though the college stipulates that after the nomination list is announced, public relations parties and other activities are not allowed to be held, private work must not be relaxed at all, and the nomination list has not been announced yet.
Of course, there are dedicated people to take charge of specific work, and Ryan only needs to control the general direction.
"Hi, Charlie."
On the way to Fox Set, Ryan received a call from Charlize, "Did you meet Hillby?"
"Hmm~ a..." There seems to be no suitable adjective there, "Anyway, it's a very special woman. I will stay here for a few days and talk to her a few times."
"Just take care of it yourself, be careful."
After the two of them had a close conversation, Ryan hung up the phone.
Just a few days before the Golden Globes, Charlize chose to leave Los Angeles to meet another important figure in the Devil's case in order to prepare for future movies.
Entering Fox Studios, Ryan went directly to the crew of "The Last Day Black Angel" and found James Cameron who was in charge of the production. The two exchanged opinions on the deep-sea documentary that Cameron was about to shoot for experimenting with new camera equipment. After exchanging opinions, Ryan walked into another studio.
This small studio has been transformed into several closed rooms, where barbed wire, blood-stained blades and other props can be seen everywhere in American horror movies, and many places have even been set up as exquisite killing mechanisms...
As long as someone with a little experience comes in, he will quickly conclude that he must be shooting a traditional American horror film.
When Ryan came in, the filming was still going on. He stood quietly and looked at the three bloody actors in front of the camera. This is the new film made by Darren Bowsman.
After nearly a year of inventing this murder show, Jenkins Pictures officially launched a project in January. Since the investment was only 2 million US dollars, after a short preliminary preparation, the filming of the film began at Fox Studios.
Although it only gave little advice, after the script was completed, this movie, temporarily named "Born Murderer", is already very close to "Saw" in Ryan's eyes.
If the movie does not change its name, the "Saw" series should not appear again after it is released.
In fact, this is not a big surprise. After all, Darren Bowsman was the director of the latter parts of this series in his previous life.
However, after the filming was temporarily interrupted, Ryan saw the male actor lying in the tomato sauce. It turned out to be Tobin Bell...
Things in the world are indeed more interesting than movies.
With such emotion, he walked behind the camera and greeted Taylor's "four guys" one by one.
“Ketchup. More ketchup…”
Chen Jiazheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "I have never seen so many tomato sauce since I was a child. I don't think I will have any interest in this kind of food in the future."
"Oh~ dear Chen." Darren Bowsman left the director's chair, "When the movie is finished, you will be back home, and you won't see such authentic tomato sauce at that time."
This movie is the last work of these four people collaborated on.
"Chen, are you interested in working at Jenkins Film's China branch?"
In the past decade, Ryan has been spared no effort to explore the Chinese market. Jenkins Films was also the first Hollywood Film Company to set up relevant offices in China in addition to Paramount.
"Chan's ideal is to make movies." David interjected, "I think Jenkins Pictures is not qualified to produce and distribute movies in China, right?"
"Okay." Ryan patted Chen Jiazheng's arm, "If you encounter financial problems, you can go to the branch or call me directly."
What he can help is the capital. If he randomly extends his hand to the media industry opposite, the relationships and advantages he has established over the years may be vanished.
Although Darren Bowsman can only be considered a newcomer among new directors, he has a deep study of traditional American horror films and the assistance of the other three people, the filming of the film is relatively smooth. As for the small-cost production of this film with an investment of 2 million US dollars, it will take some time to see whether it will be as popular as the work in the previous life.
After lunch here, Ryan came to the office set up by the American Idol program team. After meeting with lawyers from Pai Jinsley and Wilson Jr., he signed a license agreement for the last few episodes of "American Idol" with Jenkins Pictures and Fox TV on his behalf.
That's right, the copyright of this show is firmly in his personal hands, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a chicken that can lay golden eggs.
In the first session last year alone, Ryan received nearly $50 million in after-tax share through this show.
Last year's talent show, in the second half, completely caused a sensation in North America, once occupied the top ratings list of major TV stations, and received more than 500 million US dollars in advertising alone. The top players almost instantly became popular in North America.
Especially Kelly Clayson, who was very popular during the return trip held before the finals.
From the beginning of getting off the plane, the TV station broadcast the entire process. After she went home to meet her family, she held a grand celebration parade with her family and held a canvassing concert in Worth, Texas, her hometown. Mayor Worth also gave her the key to honor citizens and named her the day of return home throughout the city after Kelly Clayson.
Such treatment is almost something that only super singers of Madonna can enjoy.
This shows how sensational the impact of "American Idol" has brought. This is the first one, and Kelly Clayson won a record contract of 100 US dollars. The first solo album will definitely be launched when the second one starts its promotion. It is conceivable how many people will be attracted to participate.
The popularity of this show immediately attracted the attention of the other side of the Atlantic. At the end of last year, Ryan's team ended negotiations with the UK. A British production company obtained the copyright of "American Idol" in the UK for US$45 million and a 15% annual share.
In addition to the United Kingdom, France, Australia and several countries in the Far East are currently in contact with Ryan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will also bring a lot of revenue in the future.
You know, when Ryan planned this program, he asked his relevant personnel to register all over the world.
In some ways, Kelly Clayson is a lucky person. Even for the sake of brand image, Ryan will spend a lot of effort to promote her. After becoming a first-class singer, she is the lively signboard of "American Idol".
"American Idol" has become the most viewerly program on Fox TV. Such a trump card program can easily drive the profits of the entire TV station. The continuous cooperation has also made News Group's attitude further move towards Ryan.
Interest is the best tool to win over alliances.
At the end of January, the Delaware Equity Court held a press conference on the case of Disney shareholder suing Michael Eisner and other board members, claiming that the first round of questioning would be held as soon as possible. This case, which can be called Disney's internal strife, once again attracted public attention.
According to Ryan's wishes, Wilson Law Firm was biting the screenwriter Mark Morrick, and obviously wanted to use a protracted lawsuit to completely waste the other party from time to energy to money and other aspects.
Even if this is a so-called "human rights" society, even if the legal provisions are strictly observed, rich people have too many ways to make trouble for each other and not the same level of opponents.
Hollywood is still the same Hollywood, and luxury and gossip are still the themes of this circle, especially the Oscar nomination is about to be announced, and this most prosperous world of Vanity Fair will usher in a feast of fame and fortune.
Just amid the chaos, Ryan sent Natalie away. Although the two had not completely recovered their previous rhythm, as the Long Island girl purchased a mansion in Los Angeles, her heart seemed to gradually calm down.
"I... bring it to you?" In the VIP room, Ryan was holding a sun-shaped pendant that had been renovated into a smiling face.
Natalie didn't say anything, and directly raised her long brown curly hair, revealing her slender neck. Just like before, Ryan carefully buckled the pendant between Natalie's neck.
"Nat, you will always be the unique Natalie in my heart." Ryan gently kissed her ear beads, "Matilda is just a fictional character in the movie."
Turning around, Natalie looked at the pair of sky blue eyes, was silent for a moment, and her face slowly pressed against his chest.
Surrounding the girl's slender waist, Ryan and Natalie hugged each other quietly until she left Angel City.
It seems like I should order a few more planes?
This was Ryan's thought when he saw his private plane fly on the route to Boston, and then informed George and placed an order directly for Gulfstream and Boeing. (To be continued...)
