Chapter 96: 1 invite

In the next few days, Ryan's little life was relatively full. He was busy shooting on the set during the day, and went back to fool around with Claudia Schiffer at night.

However, Claudia Schiffer, she is a popular supermodel after all, it is impossible to stay in Los Angeles all the time, it is estimated that in about a week, she will go to Europe to promote an endorsement brand, and at the same time, she will be interviewed by a French magazine .

In this regard, Ryan could only send her to the airport with a look of regret.

Although it was only a transaction, he was somewhat reluctant to enjoy the high-level treatment and various ways of playing.

However, it was not without gains, at least he got the key to Claudia Schiffer's apartment.

Of course, in return, Claudia Schiffer not only received two audition invitations, Ryan also helped her find an acting training class.

As for Cindy Crawford, the two only had one phone call and a few brief chats, but they never got in touch.

It is estimated that unless she leaves CAA, or the relationship between Ryan and CAA can be eased, it will be difficult for the two to have any contact.

This is the realistic portrayal of Hollywood, whether you like it or not, you can only follow its rules of the game.

For a while, Ryan could only focus on filming. Even though "The Evil Spirit" is an investment from 20th Century Fox, he had to be more serious. At least after the film was released, the box office would not hit the street.

On this point, Ryan is still confident, even if "The Evil Spirit" is not acclimatized, without the support of a large number of female audiences in the previous life, it is enough to recover the investment cost of the film.

After all, the investment budget of "The Evil Spirit" is only 10 million US dollars.

During the period, I also met Laura-Fonna and Jackie Chan, and the three chatted briefly for a while.

It seems that Jiamu is a little dissatisfied with the new line of the distribution company, and wants to change to a new distribution company.

Naturally, Ryan would not refuse this, and helped introduce 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Touchstone, three familiar distribution companies.

But he is not very optimistic about the release of "Red Fan District".

This is not optimistic. It is not about the box office, but about the distribution agreement.

Any Hollywood distribution company will either directly buy out the copyright for overseas films, or sign a very harsh distribution contract.

Speaking of which, the cooperation between New Line and Jiamu has always been good. Even without Jiamu, New Line may not be able to become a second-tier Hollywood distribution company, and now it can only distribute low-cost horror films.

The full name of New Line is New Line Films, an independent production and distribution company established in 1967, which mainly distributes local low-cost horror films.

In 1990, through the purchase from FOX, Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which it did not dare to release, finally became a big success and became an independent film distribution company with wide influence.

In 1993, New Line was acquired by the giant Warner and merged into Time Warner Group, but New Line enjoys the right to operate independently.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, "Red Fan District" was finally released by New Line, and it earned a box office of 32.34 million US dollars in North America, making the distribution company New Line a fortune.

Even, New Line's income as a distributor is higher than that of the producer Jiamu.

Hollywood distribution companies are so cheating.

"What's up?"

Ryan had just finished filming a scene, and looked at Lei Sancheni who came over and said.

"Mr. Colette Singh just called, I hope you can attend the premiere of "Die Hard 3" in May." Lei Sancheni said a very unexpected news.

"Die Hard 3", a very familiar film, directed by John McTiernan, starring Bruce Willis, Samuel Jackson, Jeremy Irons and others.

"A movie starring Bruce Willis?" Canyon Novel Network

"The film "Die Hard 3" with an investment of up to 90 million US dollars!" Ryan was slightly taken aback, and then said something.

"Die Hard 3" invested as much as US$90 million, with a global box office of US$366 million and a North American box office of just over US$100 million, which is not considered a success.

"Yes."

"Twentieth Century Fox hopes to take the opportunity to promote "The Evil Spirit" at that time."

"You can take Scarlett Johansson with you," Ray Sancheni explained.

To put it bluntly, it is a propaganda reality show.

With an investment of US$90 million in "Die Hard 3" and the popularity accumulated from the previous two films, 20th Century Fox has high expectations for the film's box office, and it is a good time to take this opportunity to promote "The Evil One".

"Let Kevin take little Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman with him, I believe he will be very happy."

Ryan flatly rejected Twentieth Century Fox's plan. He didn't have to attend a film premiere, and it was a film that was not very successful at the box office.

Besides, he might not have time in May.

"But 20th Century Fox!" Lei Sancheni was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay." Ryan said indifferently: "Just say what I mean."

Lei Sancheni nodded helplessly, and probably had to explain it to Colette Singer later.

However, she also knew that 20th Century Fox would not say much, and would even readily agree.

After all, Twentieth Century Fox knows the value of this young director in front of him. However, the three films in succession were huge hits, earning Twentieth Century Fox hundreds of millions of dollarsLei-Sancheni did not contact immediately Twentieth Century Fox said goodbye to Ryan and walked towards Kevin Bacon.

Now that Ryan had already said to let Kevin Bacon take the two little ones, she naturally wanted to tell him the news.

"You have to seize this opportunity well, remember what I said, you must have a good relationship with Ryan during the filming." Lei Sancheni said very seriously.

"I understand." Kevin Bacon nodded vigorously.

Ray Sancheni reminded again: "As for the premiere, don't try to steal the limelight, "Die Hard 3" is the most important film of 20th Century Fox this year, even surpassing "The Evil One". "

"Originally 20th Century Fox wanted Ryan to take Scarlett Johansson, but he just refused and chose to let you go with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, remember to thank you a bit."

In fact, she was a little puzzled. The schedule of "Die Hard 3" should be in May, so it's too early to start inviting guests for the premiere.

However, since it was Twentieth Century Fox's decision, she naturally couldn't do much.

Ryan!

There was a strange look in Kevin Bacon's eyes. It seemed that Ryan didn't like to participate in similar scenes, but he still needed to thank him.

"Touchstone has already sent news that once the filming of "The Evil Spirit" is over, the crew will start casting work for "The Truman Show", and Ryan has the final decision."

"It will be very helpful for your future auditions," Rae Sancheni said.

Kevin Bacon's goal has never been "The Evil Spirit", but "The Truman Show", a film with an investment of up to 35 million U.S. dollars, which Ryan and Touchstone collaborated on.
