Chapter 169： Sorry box office
"A well-arranged plot, a fun-filled journey, just the right plot**, ups and downs of character shaping, and a happy ending. This is the typical Ryan Jenkins-style concept and script. He is always clever. The perfect integration of various elements, with a scientific attitude, the implementation of almost rigorous standardized production, he is simply the most precise and perfect instrument on the Hollywood assembly line, and it is always easy to grasp What does the audience want to see! From the point of view of a commercial screenwriter, no one is better than him."
——Kenneth Duran, Los Angeles Times
"When we first saw the behemoth that had disappeared for tens of millions of years on the screen, we were still overwhelmed with excitement. The prehistoric monsters like dinosaurs used to be the overlords of the earth, but in the end it was because of the environment of the earth. Change and extinction in itself is a mystery that fascinates countless people. So the moment that lifelike Tyrannosaurus rex screamed up to the sky on the screen, the hearts of people all over the world trembled. This shock is more than just a movie. What the movie can bring is the throbbing that primitive life brings us, transcending time and space to the bottom of our hearts, and let us truly feel the greatness of life."
"To some extent, this movie has achieved the current extreme. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have joined forces to truly restore the world of Ryan Jenkins' whimsical ideas. This movie The movie will definitely make a strong mark in film history!"
——"Entertainment Weekly" Irving Graeberman
"This is the best era and the worst era. With the rapid development of computer technology, technology has brought endless hope to filmmakers, but on the other hand, as Hollywood gradually becomes more streamlined, movies are the most The core part-creativity-is showing signs of decline. Although Ryan Jenkins is still unable to get rid of the shackles of the Hollywood assembly line, he can always use the latest creativity to incorporate cliché plots into it, constantly bringing surprises to people ."
"In "Jurassic Park", you can see Hitchcock-style plots everywhere, but he combines these with his own perfect combination. A thrilling story is dedicated to us! Even if the dinosaurs are removed The surprise of the movie, the plot of the movie is still brilliant, and Ryan should now consider how to get rid of the limitations of the Hollywood model."

"Please go on, Nat!"
In the luxurious suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Natalie is sitting at the dining table, reading film reviews in the newspaper, and Ryan and Nicole are enjoying breakfast.
After the crew left Washington, the first stop came to New York, after a crazy weekend of publicity. All a little tired. Whether it's Ryan or Nicole. Not only does he have a large number of fans, but he is also the focus of the media, and he is exhausted physically and mentally in two days.
I got up a bit late today, and I didn't expect Natalie to let George pick her up early. At the same time, he brought a lot of newspapers.
"I'm thirsty~" Natalie put down the newspaper, and Ryan had to pour a glass of milk and push it over, "Well, dear Nat, is this all right?"
"Ryan!"
Nicole glared at him. In her impression, Natalie was a strict vegetarian, and this kind of non-skimmed milk should be a taboo food.
"It's okay, Nicole." Natalie took the milk. Take a sip generously, really not caring at all.
After looking at Natalie, Nicole looked at Ryan again, her beautiful eyebrows were twisted together, these two people kept secrets from her!
"Nicole. Don't tell Mrs. Shelly, okay?" Ryan leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"What are you two doing?"
Even though this was asked with her eyes, Nicole believed that Ryan could definitely read it.
"This is a secret!" Ryan also winked his eyes.
"Do you still want to listen?" Natalie said suddenly, interrupting the two people who were winking.
"Of course, please go ahead, Nat."
"When Ryan was creating, he obviously added feminist ideas in the film. Dr. Ali Settler was one of the spokespersons. For the role played by Miss Nicole Kidman, there is a line that appropriately reflects this. "Dinosaurs eat men, women occupy the earth." Strictly speaking, there was also this kind of thinking at the time. In Jurassic Park, humans played the role of God, stifling the possibility of male dinosaurs and letting female dinosaurs dominate. The whole island..."
"Stop~ What are these..."
The corners of Ryan's mouth trembled. If Settler's lines are a bit of feminist thought, then those behind can be interpreted by people with such a meaning, how wonderful the thinking of the person who wrote this thing should be. ?
"Nate, do you have a movie review of "Raging Flames"? Nicole asked, drinking all the milk in front of her.
"Forget it, Nicole, don't make it difficult for Nat. The film critic is about to describe that movie as Tom Cruise's face show. What's so nice about it."
Ryan is telling the truth. This hot action film that highlights the idol’s personal charm and is cool and handsome has been bombarded by most film critics. Even if Sony Columbia initiated crisis public relations, it still cannot change this. situation.
Don’t think that those well-known film critics are so high-end and tasteful. Except for a few film critics standing at the top who can be relatively fair, the others will also be affected by various factors. Fair speech is for them. Said, it's just clouds in the sky.
The thing is very simple. Sony Columbia is in public relations, and Ryan and Universal Pictures and Spielberg are also in public relations. After all, Sony is a foreigner who has recently entered the North American entertainment market, while Ryan is a group of Jewish people!
"Where are we going today?"
After clearing the paper, Natalie asked.
"Nate, do you think me, you, and Nicole will get together and go around the streets of New York, what will be the consequences?" Ryan shook his head, he didn't want to go out and be watched.
Although Natalie has been acting on stage since "Killer Leon", her reputation has long spread. Apart from the uncle fans, she also has a lot of supporters.
"Well then, I'll go to read a book."
There was a knock on the door, and then George walked into the restaurant, "Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Spielberg are here."
"Are they here? The box office statistics for the first week?"
Ryan and Nicole glanced at each other, quickly cleaned up, and walked to the reception room with Natalie.
"Hello. Stephen and Ms. Kennedy."
Natalie greeted the two very politely, and the two nodded to her, and Spielberg said, "It's been a long time, Nat."
"Ryan, there is good news."
The remaining people are already familiar acquaintances who can no longer be acquainted with, and there are not so many polites. Catherine Kennedy blushed, "Want to know?"
"Could it be that the box office broke 100 million in the first week?"
Ryan felt that it could make these two people so excited. It must have been an unprecedented number at the box office in the first week.
"Almost a little bit."
Spielberg's excitement. A trace of regret was revealed.
"How much is that?" Nicole asked.
"Nine-thousand-eight million dollars!" Catherine Kennedy seems to be a little unbelievable up to now.
"Oh. God!"
Nicole and Natalie, one big and one small, exclaimed. This is indeed an unprecedented number!
"Damn it!"
Ryan is completely different. If they had known this before, several of their investors would jointly invest. Pushed the first week's box office past the $100 million mark.
This practice is normal in Hollywood. According to the gossip, Tom Cruise bought millions of dollars in the box office on the first day of the release of "Raging Flames".
"It's really a shame." Ryan could only sigh with emotion.
"Sorry?" Natalie first saw him as unpleasant. "Come on, Ryan, you still don't know how happy you are now."
"Stephen, Kate, we should increase our publicity. Especially overseas, I think this movie has the potential to hit the global box office of 100 million US dollars!" Ryan ignored Natalie, but looked at the other two.
"I will communicate with Universal Pictures as soon as possible."
These things Ryan said involve the benefits of all parties, so they will naturally pay special attention to them.
"Kate. How about our sales of peripheral products?" Ryan asked about the other big head of revenue.
"The specific figures have not yet been counted, but there are out-of-stocks in many places, and the suppliers we have contracted are currently a bit tight."
Although there are no clear figures, this is already the best news.
"One more good news, Ryan."
All the people present here are communities of interests, so naturally there is no need to cover up too much. Catherine Kennedy handed over a statistical report.
Ryan glanced at the North American box office rankings last week, without any suspense, "Jurassic Park" topped the list, and the second place was "Raging Flames".
Just comparing the first horrible figure of more than 90,000 US dollars, "Raging Flames" is only 660,000 US dollars, including part of Tom Cruise's own pocket.
Cruise Pictures and Sony Columbia are destined to lose everything!
"Raging Flames" is a pure popcorn movie that is cool and handsomeUnlike "Jurassic Park", which has a large number of book fans as a basis, the former tends to appear higher in the second week. The percentage drop, to put it simply, it has no threat.
I am waiting for the day you go bankrupt! Ryan felt light in her hands, and the report had fallen into Nicole's hands. She only glanced at her, her cold and pretty face showed a brilliant smile that could not be suppressed.
"Well, Ryan, that's it for the time being, Kate will contact you if there is anything."
Spielberg stood up and said goodbye, "I made a wise decision at the beginning, thank you for choosing me."
Regardless of the box office of this movie in the future, they have created an achievement that has attracted the attention of filmmakers all over the world, even if it is as hot as Spielberg, they will still be proud.
"You're welcome, Stephen, we will have more and more extensive cooperation opportunities in the future." Ryan said with a smile.
"I believe this!" ()
