Chapter 539: Australia in Autumn

On the second day after the premiere, Nicole’s plane flew to Australia. Ryan only reached an agreement with Huayi. Someone will naturally advance the specific work, and he agreed to help according to the other party’s cryptic request. Promote Huayi's films to North America.

Internationalizing local movies and going to North America to earn dollars is the hope of many filmmakers here.

It's a pity that Ryan knows who Huayi's trump card is, and also knows the limitations of their films, it is impossible to succeed in North America.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to introduce Harvey Weinstein to the people of Huayi. Anyway, the big fat man always likes to buy movies from abroad and distribute them in North America, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.

As for whether Director Feng will call Harvey Weinstein a liar in the future, Ryan will leave it alone.

In fact, North American distributors and theater operators are very realistic people. As long as the film shows commercial potential, they will not care about the ethnicity and culture, and they will definitely work hard to promote it in order to maximize the benefits.

These foreign films are often released from more than a dozen or even a few theaters to see the market response. The previous "Heroes" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are not in this way of operation.

Certain films that have been popular in the Far East or other places have not been released after being introduced to North America or have been on a three-day theater trip. It can only be said that this kind of film is not suitable for the North American film market.

Differences in regions and cultures also have obvious effects on movies.

When they came to the farm in Queensland, Australia, they embarked on a short holiday trip.

This farmhouse, located more than 40 miles away in Brisbane, has changed from more than 6,200 acres to nearly 30,000 acres after Nicole’s successive large-scale acquisitions, and it is even about to directly border the Gold Coast.

The farm still uses lavender, wine and racehorse fodder as its main industries, and can generate a profit of about 3.5 million Australian dollars per year.

It is not only Ryan and Nicole who are here for vacation, but also Antonia Kidman and her new boyfriend.

but. After the two parties met, the first activity for the dinner was to watch a movie. As an industry insider, Nicole was concerned about the film culture of the country where she just went. Still a little interested. It just so happened that Ryan got a copy of their big-selling movie this year from Huayi.

As the language is not translated, except for Ryan. The three people who do not understand Chinese can only understand the dialogue through subtitles. This method is not only laborious, but also there are too many slang words in the movie. It is impossible to express accurately in English at all.

Donald Sutherland in the movie is considered an acquaintance and also served as a guest at the Oscars ceremony this year.

"That... there is a big horn and a shaker, that is... what is it?"

The doctor on the opposite side replied, "Gramophone!"

"You are the head of the third floor!"

The humor in the last paragraph caused several people to laugh at the same time, and Ryan got up. Go to the back and pack all the equipment. A few people left the projection room of the manor. The Kidman sisters briefly discussed a few words and walked towards the racecourse together.

"Is China's audiovisual industry really developed?"

Antonia Kidman also didn't understand. As he walked, he asked Nicole, who had just returned from there, "Just like in the movie?"

"I don't know very well either." Nicole shrugged, and then asked, "What does the movie say?"

"There are now 27 million DVDs in China, and each machine consumes ten DVDs a year, and each DVD draws one yuan in royalties." Antonia deserves to be a talk show host, roughly repeating it. The movie line, "Ten discs are ten dollars, plus 27 million DVDs, that's 270 million."

"In fact, this is a very, very conservative number."

Holding Nicole's hand, Ryan looked at the racetrack in the distance, and took the initiative to take the topic, "This number needs to be doubled by at least ten times to be more in line with the reality over there."

"Isn't this a very large peripheral market?" Antonia's boyfriend said, "I have been there several times. Given their large population base, Ryan's figures are also very conservative."

"Why is it so hard to sell our DVD and video tape copyrights over there?" Nicole's blue eyes are all strange. After all, she hides in the hotel most of the time except for the premiere. "Even if the copyright is sold , The price is very low."

"The national conditions are different." Ryan shook her hand vigorously, and took the initiative to change the subject, "It's been a long time, my dear, I heard that you have specially trained how many horses?"

Entering the racecourse, a few people changed their riding clothes. Ryan carried a cowboy hat in one hand and Nicole in the other, and walked into the stable. There are no expensive thoroughbred horses here, most of which are common horse breeds in Australia. Although he is a little smaller, his gentle temperament makes it easier to ensure the safety of the rider.

These are the horses that Nicole has chosen surprisingly. After all, the people here are here to play, not to train the horses.

To help Nicole take care of her dark horse first, Ryan chose a maroon horse similar to Brigo at random, chased the Australian girl, and ran out of the stable amidst the sound of clear hoofs.

The sun moved from the top of the head to the left, and seemed to be able to fall into the small blue lake at any time. The grass by the lake was slightly yellowed, and a few grasshoppers jumped on it, but they were crushed by the falling horseshoes, and the sky occasionally flew over. The bird will make a feeble cry, as if it is telling the world that winter in Australia is coming soon.

The beige cowboy hat pressed Nicole's golden red curly hair. The empty world made her particularly relaxed. She turned back and whistled at Ryan, and her riding boots slammed the black horse hard, speeding up her speed.

After experiencing the baptism of several movies in succession, Ryan's riding skills have made considerable progress, and he soon caught up from behind, and gradually kept pace with Nicole.

The empty racecourse has undergone expansion and is several times larger than it was at the beginning. In addition, there is a man-made lake in the center, which is connected to the river channel on the other side through a channel, and from time to time you can see splashes of fish turning up.

"This small lake is Kate's idea." Nicole slowly slowed down and said while looking at the artificial lake.

"Kate used to like design." Ryan also pulled on the reins and waited for Nicole, who was a little behind, to catch up, and said, "Our Queen Galadriel loves lakes."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Antonia Kidman chased up from behind. Ryan saw that she was alone, and asked strangely, "Where is Sam?"

"The idiot's riding pants are broken. I went back and changed my clothes." Antonia pulled the reins and went to Nicole's other side, complaining, "He is always stupid. I now doubt very much if I am fainted by accepting his pursuit. head."

Regarding this matter, Ryan would definitely not make any suggestions, and Nicole couldn't say anything. The three horses slowed down and finally turned into a horseback walk.

"Annie, do you want to come to Hollywood to develop?" Nicole mentioned this suggestion again.

"I still... like Sydney more." Antonia Kidman hesitated after thinking about it, "My friends and social circles are all in Sydney."

"All of these can be re-established." Nicole pulled his horse's head and walked towards the lake first. After Ryan and the two followed, he said, "Your career in Sydney TV can't go further, that The talk show has reached its limit. You need a bigger stage."

"If you want, I can recommend you to the TV station. They lack a good enough talk show host." After speaking, Nicole looked over and Ryan nodded slightly.

He and Nicole have watched Antonia's show many times, and she is indeed very capable.

"Then... I need to think about it."

Seeing Nicole preparing to dismount, Antonia also grabbed the mount, "I also need to discuss with Sam."

"Isn't he an actor? How many actors don't want to go to Hollywood?" Nicole threw the reins of the horse to Ryan and took her sister to the lake. "Honey, go back and bring us some snacks and tea. Okay?"

"Happy to help."

Tie the two horses, Ryan turned on the horse and ran towards the stable.

Australia in April is autumn. The farm life is casual and comfortable, without flashing lights and paparazzi stalking, and without work-ridden, it is like a peaceful place away from the harassment of the world.

Fishing, horse riding, and walking have become the themes of Ryan and Nicole’s lives. Sometimes they will go to the winery to learn about winemaking with the winemakers, or go to the farm to help the workers harvest horse racing fodder.

These are all life that is hard to experience in Hollywood, but this kind of life can be regarded as relaxing. If it goes on day after day, I am afraid that Nicole will be the first to rebel.

In a series of leisure activities, Ryan’s favorite is hunting. With a double-barreled shotgun on his back and Nicole holding the hound, he enters thousands of acres of woods on the farm, looking for suitable prey, reloading and driving. Gun, shooting...

Then, the prey escaped unharmed by the gunfire, he could only repeat the process in Nicole's contemptuous eyes...

'boom! boom! ’

Ryan pulled the trigger again and again, and the shotguns hit the mud and leaves flying around, but he was a few feet away from the target hare. The nasty rabbit, with its slick eyes, turned around like Nicole’s contemptuous eyes. , Glanced at the two in hunting suits, and ran away.

"Gru! Baby, it's up to you!"

Raised his eyebrows at Ryan, who was holding his face, Nicole let go of the hound's leash. The German Shepherd ran out as fast as possible, flexibly avoiding obstacles such as branches and weeds, for a while. In the barking of Wang Wang, a beautiful flutter successfully captured the hare.

"Two days, Ryan." Nicole held up **** at him, "You haven't hit any prey. I remember you are a member of a gun club in Los Angeles? Shooting level..."

She shook her head and walked towards the hound Gru.

Picking up the shotgun, Ryan reluctantly followed. He just practiced shooting briefly a long time ago. As for the level, he still doesn't mention it. ()
