Rebirth In Hollywood
Chapter 22 Repercussions and Benefits
Did you do well in the movie yourself? There is no doubt about this. After all, Ryan has lived in two generations. Even after all these years, he has inevitably brought a lot of childishness to his body, and sometimes his performance is indeed outrageous, but he will never lose his way in this overwhelming praise.
He is well aware that Hollywood treats child stars and adult actors very differently. As long as a child does something that only adults can do, the praise will be overwhelming. If the performance is a little better, the title of genius It will definitely be on the head.
For those children who have not yet matured in mind, these often become poisons that urge their lives. If they encounter parents who are not clear-headed and only know how to make money, they can only be described as sad reminders when they grow up.
Of course, these will not happen to Ryan. After all, he has a mature mind and a fairly firm will, and Nicole is not a greedy person. You know, since the two met until now, she has not touched him. one dollar.
In fact, what Ryan is most worried about is his appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that he has almost all the advantages of a mixed-race child, but the materials he has read in his previous life have made him extremely clear that the cuter and more beautiful children in the West were when they were young. , the higher the chance of being crooked, he doesn't want to be Leonardo and Peter in the future, but he can't be a crooked melon like Macaulay Culkin and Edward Furlong, right?
Shaking his head and throwing these messy thoughts out of the sky, Ryan picked up the "Los Angeles Times" that was reserved for the last, and felt that it was the case in his heart.
"Los Angeles Times" on the front page headline, pay attention not to the front page headline of the entertainment section, but the front page headline of the entire newspaper, published the most detailed report on the boy.
"Ten-year-old super genius!"
The huge headline in black and bold stands out, and next to it is a close-up photo of the boy at the press conference.
"Ryan Jenkins, a boy born in Los Angeles in 1980 with unusually bright sky-blue pupils, made his big-screen debut last night in the just-released film The Sixth Sense. The performance in the film is the best child star, but what is even more surprising is that the script of the film was written by him."
"Some people may wonder, is such a wonderful story that combines horror, suspense and family ethics really from the hands of a ten-year-old child? Yes, this is indeed doubtful, but what we want to say is that this It's really Ryan's story, and one of many stories he's written!"
"We got amazing information from people in the know, and after rigorous verification, Jurassic Park, which has been No. 1 on the national bestseller list for more than 30 weeks and is now in the top ten, is in the top 10. Ryan Jenkins, the thirty-fourth place on the list, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which just entered the list, are also written by Ryan Jenkins, that's right! This Ryan is that Ryan!"
"It's not just that, at the beginning of this month, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association just announced the Nebula Award nominations, and Ryan's "The Greatest Powers of the Universe and the Zentraedi" won the nomination for Best Short Novella."
"If anyone remembers, "Jurassic Park" was published as early as 1986, and many works such as "Home Alone" in "Ryan's Tales" were also published in 1986 and 1987. what?"
"Maybe everyone will doubt whether someone is ghostwriting, but we have confirmed by the municipal department that Ryan Jenkins is an orphan who has been living in the Norston Welfare House in North Hollywood until the age of seven.
At that time, he had already produced many works. Just imagine, who would ghostwrite an orphan? "
"It wasn't until the second half of 1987 that Ryan was adopted by Miss Nicole Kidman and began to live in London for two years. Perhaps it was this experience that allowed him to create the "Harry Potter" full of British style. and the Philosopher's Stone."
"Think about it, a child who can start writing independently at the age of six and keep producing excellent works, and who can write a screenplay at the age of nine and act in it himself, if not a super genius, who would be a super genius. genius?"
The next words, Ryan didn't bother to read any more. The Los Angeles Times can get such accurate information, naturally from Harvey Weinstein. He has since learned that the authors of the three books are boys. , has been planning, how to maximize the benefits of this amazing news.
There is no doubt that throwing such a high-explosive bomb when the movie was just released would naturally stimulate the nerves of many people and contribute more to the movie at the box office.
Of course, Harvey Weinstein, who realized that the boy was a gold mine, informed him in advance, and the unscrupulous Ryan, after persuading Nicole, joined forces with Mr. Fatty to make a hype.
In fact, the boy knows very well that with the release of the movie, his old bottom will definitely be revealed by those paparazzi. Yes, you can't look at them, and you can't look down on them. These guys are chasing scandals and gossip privacy, don't mind Sell your soul to Satan.
That being the case, why not take part of the initiative in your hands, so as to maximize your own interests.
First, sell Miramax a favor and make Harvey Weinstein owe him a favor. Second, you can be on the front page of one of the three major newspapers in the United States, and you can imagine the reputation. Finally, definitely It will arouse the curiosity of many people, so that they will walk into the theater, into the bookstore, the green bills...
As Ryan imagined, once this report was published, it caused an uproar in public opinion. Miramax's public phone call and the hotline of the publishing house under the "Alien" magazine were about to be hit by crazy reporters. Likewise, Norston Welfare and the City Department welcomed many visitors with camera microphones.
"Ryan, my phone has been blasted, you have to pay me overtime!" This is the complaint call from Ms. Kingsley.
"I want more detailed information, such as the child's childhood life, who the child's parents are, the child's personality habits, whether he has dated a girl, and what is in his head, you all need to Turn it out for me, or else, pack my bed and get out of here!"
The editors-in-chief of almost every tabloid have issued similar orders to their paparazzi.
For a time, various reports about Ryan began to fill the big newspapers and tabloids. The experience of being abandoned in childhood, the lonely life in the orphanage, and the relationship with Nicole Kidman's mother and sister were all covered by the media. turned out.
Some reporters even found the old dean Katie who was aged in Santa Monica. When they asked about Ryan, the old dean said, "Ryan was brought back by me from the ground at the entrance of the orphanage with my own hands. Yes, he is a very special child, smart and precocious, with far more wisdom than ordinary people, the works you mentioned are indeed created by him, many of them including "Jurassic Park" were written under my eyes. It came out, and the original work was also recommended by me to Alien magazine, so you don’t have to doubt anything, for a child who can read newspapers and magazines fluently at the age of four, starting to write at the age of six is nothing at all.”
The words of the old dean and the words of the children who were adopted by the orphanage all proved the report of the Los Angeles Times.
And these reports, to a certain extent, whetted the appetite of the people. They were very curious about how a ten-year-old child could achieve these achievements. Many people flocked to bookstores to buy the books mentioned in the reports. Jurassic Park was again at No. 1 on the national bestseller list a week later, with sales of Ryan Tales and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone nearly quadrupling.
In particular, countless experts fixed their eyes on the bizarre novel that had just been nominated for the Nebula Award, and deciphered various meanings, such as "This science fiction novel has a strong sense of real irony and criticizes the more The increasingly impetuous society has profoundly exposed the ever-expanding greed of human beings, and it is a reminder and warning to America!"
Someone even wrote an article to praise, "This is one of the best science fiction satires in recent years!"
This made Ryan feel the urge to write "the first military power in the universe and his invincible fat marshal" while he couldn't laugh or cry.
The most direct benefit is the movie "The Sixth Sense".
The wonderful storyline and excellent performance of the actors have won the praise of the vast majority of people. Coupled with this crazy hype, after the first three days, the North American box office of the film was fixed at nearly 28 million US dollars. So happy that Miramax's executives couldn't close their mouths.
The two scenes at the end are the most exciting parts of the movie. The dialogue and emotional explosion between Cole and his mother is tear-jerking, and the psychiatrist's sudden realization is surprising. Many people can't help but buy tickets again after watching some of the previous scenes. Watch, many people watched it more than once.
In this case, many theaters in popular locations have seen long queues to buy tickets, and some theater owners have even compared the film to last year's "Batman".
After the full second week, the box office of the movie did not drop, but rose a lot. When he saw the box office of more than 36 million US dollars, Harvey Weinstein suddenly regretted signing the two contracts. Once realized that the box office of this film is likely to far exceed his estimates.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. In this way, Ryan has put himself on the cusp of the storm and can only hide at home, otherwise he will be entangled by the ubiquitous paparazzi in Los Angeles. Although it is not a big trouble, it is also very annoying. .
Especially downstairs in the apartment, there are already paparazzi stationed there day and night, hoping to get some exclusive news.
Faced with this situation, Nicole once again put the plan to buy an independent villa on the agenda.
