Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 357 Protest from Russia

As Ryan once said, it is impossible for one person to win the praise of everyone. Those voices who oppose for the sake of opposition, whether it is Ryan himself or his many supporters, will not care too much, but Those attacks that are full of maliciousness are different. No one will feel comfortable after seeing such remarks.

Gary Graham is recognized as one of the people who is full of malice towards Ryan. Maybe Ryan will only think of him as a ridiculous clown, but his supporters don't see it that way.

They remembered the account before the release of "Titanic" last year clearly. It was only after the other party moved to the Internet that they seldom published targeted vicious language, which made him forgotten in the corner.

Now, he jumped out again.

From a certain point of view, Ryan's supporters can be regarded as the largest loose group in North America, including people from all walks of life, and there is no shortage of computer and Internet technology experts among them.

So, just hours after Gary Graham's remarks appeared on the Internet, his website was hacked.

"Your professional commentary is the complete collection of jokes in America!"

This is what the intruder left after hacking the website.

In addition, there is a picture of Mr. Gary Graham, pouting his bare ass, pleasing a national audience.

This incident became the laughing stock of the entire industry. It is said that the descendant of the Mayflower was so angry that he went directly to the medical institution.

"This is definitely not what I asked people to do!"

On the treadmill in the gym, Ryan swears to Natalie that the Long Island girl is lifting dumbbells.

"I didn't say you did it. Although you are boring, you still don't pay attention to a clown."

Even though she said so, Natalie smiled very happily. No one would want their beloved to be attacked maliciously for no reason.

Then she looked at the clock on the wall. Reminder, "Ryan, it's time!"

"Hmm~"

After jumping off the treadmill, Ryan had just breathed out when Natalie had put down the dumbbells and walked over, picked up the white towel hanging around his neck, and helped him wipe the sweat off his face.

Ryan bent over slightly, enjoying Natalie's tenderness to the fullest,

A hand fell on Natalie's slender waist unconsciously. The upper body of the Long Island girl was wearing a short tight fitness outfit. His hand directly touched the smooth and white belly, and he couldn't help but fall downward.

The door of the fitness room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and there was a 'bang' sound, and then Scarlett Johansson rushed in, waving the file bag in her hand, and shouting, "Nate, Ryan..."

"No... I'm sorry..." She probably saw something, she pursed her lips. To keep myself from laughing.

"Scarlett, you forgot to knock on the door." Ryan quickly withdrew his hand and glared at the blonde girl, "When did you come here?"

"I just arrived."

Scarlett carelessly. I didn't care at all, and ran to Natalie, "I called the Hilton Hotel, but Nat wasn't there. I guess she must have come here, so I came here..."

"Nate, I didn't see anything." She turned to Natalie with a smile.

"Come on. Scarlett." Natalie made a zipper movement, and Scarlett nodded hastily, "I'm not Taylor's big mouth, don't worry."

"Oh, these are the documents that George asked me to bring over." Scarlett Johansson stuffed the document bag to Ryan, went to the refrigerator next to him to get two boxes of juice, threw one box to Natalie, curious Asked, "What kind of confidential document is this? Isn't George afraid of me peeping?"

"It's just the North American box office rankings last week."

Ryan sat on a thick cushion practicing self-defense, Natalie pulled Scarlett to sit beside him, and asked, "What is the first week's box office of "The Rest of the Desert Island"?"

"Oh, Nat actually cares about the box office, it's really rare."

Deliberately blocking the sight of the two girls, Ryan squeezed his eyes and said with a smile, "Guess, there will be a prize for guessing right."

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie didn't bother to ask, if there were other suspense, but things like box office are just a bunch of numbers to Ryan, she pulled Scarlett, "I want Go back and change your clothes, let's go, Scarlett, let's go together."

"Nate, aren't you curious?" Scarlett followed up and asked unwillingly, "Aren't you worried that Ryan will lose money?"

"The production cost plus the publicity budget, how much is this movie worth?"

"Like a hundred million dollars."

"Scarlett, do you think a movie can make a profit just by box office?"

"Not counting the advertising revenue from placements, Ryan's movie can make money back at the North American box office."

"Since I can make money, I have nothing to worry about."

"It seems to be the truth..."

The voices of the two girls became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely. Ryan shook his head, stood up and walked towards the main building. There shouldn't be much suspense at the box office. Now the focus of work should be on public relations.

Sony Columbia Pictures has been looking forward to starting their real Hollywood era. The success of the "Jurassic Park" series has allowed them to see the influence of monster movies in North America. They believe that bigger and stronger monsters are enough to attract American audiences, and the huge success at the box office in the first week seems to confirm this.

But Sony Entertainment ignored a very important thing, Godzilla is a foreign monster, and "Jurassic Park" before the movie was released, the novel has done enough publicity, especially behind this series, there is still standing today The man known as the representative of Hollywood commercial films.

This person's latest masterpiece was also selected in the fiery Christmas season.

In fact, when there was a long queue in front of the theater three days on the weekend, Sony Pictures already had a very bad premonition. These people in the queue were definitely not for "Godzilla", because although the box office was successful in the first week, the film's word-of-mouth was not. Not only was it attacked by film critics, but most of the audience surveyed immediately were also dissatisfied with the film.

Facts have also proved this point. "Godzilla" has shrunk sharply in the second week, with a box office figure of just over US$15 million.

As Christmas is approaching, the movie that exploded the box office finally arrived. It grossed more than 22 million US dollars on the first day, increased to more than 23 million US dollars on the second day, and rose to 26 million US dollars on the third day. 71 million US dollars, this is the first weekend box office of "Cast Away".

Although it is quite far away from the record of "Titanic", it is not even comparable to the summer file "Jurassic Park 2", but it is already very rare for such a movie supported by one actor.

There is also the investment of both parties. In terms of the cost of a single round of production, "The Rest of a Deserted Island" only cost 55 million US dollars.

Moreover, "Life on a Deserted Island" has received rave reviews, not to mention those film critics, but it has gained a very high reputation among the audience alone. The power of word of mouth after the film is released is sometimes the best means of publicity.

Frankly speaking, the movie left too many plots worthy of scrutiny and imagination for the audience, such as the wings that run through the movie, such as several dialogues between Chuck and Kelly, such as the final crossroads and so on.

Even the pink wings on the mail at the beginning of the film have been interpreted by some people as implying that Mr. Peterson is having an affair. People have to admire the power of brain supplementation.

However, the benefits of this are obvious. The development of the Internet brings smooth information. Many people think that after they have a new discovery, they can't wait to share it, and various fan sites and Ryan's personal webpage have become the carrying channels. , These views have been seen by others, and a considerable number of people will re-enter the theater to confirm these views.

In addition to those who walked into the theater because of feelings, although the number of people who watched the movie repeatedly could not be compared with "Titanic", it still accounted for a large proportion.

The film's good reputation among the audience, the most direct reaction is the box office of the second week of "Cast Away", which did not show a big decline. The figure of 64.55 million US dollars is still superior to all movies in the same period.

As for "Godzilla", the stamina is obviously insufficient, and it even fell out of the top three box office rankings in the third week. It is completely impossible to rely on the North American box office to recover the cost.

Although this is a normal competition in the film market, Ryan and Sony Columbia Pictures have no intention of confronting each other. Since the other party gave up on Tom Cruise, the original grievances have disappeared, and even the two sides in "Spider-Man" "There are quite a few common interests, after all, the copyright of the Peter Parker TV series is still in the hands of Sony.

But the media won't care so much, as long as they can hype up a topic, they won't let it go easily.

"Modern version of Robinson Robinson vs. Godzilla, Ryan Jenkins overwhelmed the monster with just one pinky finger!"

There are a lot of reports like this, and these guys want Hollywood to be as messy as possible, so that they can have reports to write, so that they can make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, neither Ryan nor Sony Columbia bothered to pay attention to these guys.

Sony Columbia is busy with the overseas release of "Godzilla". Now that the North American box office failure is a foregone conclusion, the cost must be recovered from other regions, especially Japan.

And Ryan wanted to promote the movie, because Jenkins Films and Paramount had made full preparations in advance. A week after it landed in North America, "Rest of a Deserted Island" began to appear in the most important overseas markets.

In the following week, the movie was screened in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Western Europe and Russia in Eastern Europe.

In fact, if possible, Ryan would like to try to achieve a simultaneous world premiere in several major production areas of the box office, but in this day and age, this can only be considered temporarily.

What Ryan didn't expect was that after the movie landed in Russia, the spokesperson of the Russian Duma protested against the producer during a routine press conference! (to be continued..) ()
