Rebirth In Hollywood

Like all crews, after the Thanksgiving holiday, the crew began to go to major cities in North America to promote, but Spielberg was missing, and the Jewish old man directly left the crew at the critical stage of preparation for "Jurassic Park 2".

Besides, with Ryan and Tom Hanks on set, it was enough to attract the attention of the public and the media.

Although the media gave mixed reviews to the MV-style rhythm and the overly freehand plot, after the first four days, "Cat and Mouse" won $40.22 million and successfully topped the North American weekly box office chart, even though it was a distance of $50 million. The investment is still a little far away, but it is also a very good start.

The Big Three of DreamWorks breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This is the first movie produced by DreamWorks after its establishment. There are many people in Hollywood who are waiting to see their jokes. Now they have a good start. As long as there are no accidents, The movie is sure to sell.

What people did not expect was that the famous film critic Roger Albert's film review was long overdue after the film's first week of box office release.

"Because I've watched it a few times, I've only written a little bit now. Speaking of which, it's not a big production, but it looks very relaxed and enjoyable to watch. Putting aside the plot and rhythm, a forty-year-old man and A sixteen-year-old man showed us a different kind of father-son relationship, Tom Hanks and Ryan Jenkins gave the most outstanding performance on the big screen this year! Especially Ryan, he still grows up Shocking, Hollywood's child star charm never seems to exist, his performance in this film completely surpassed "The Sixth Sense", and with the role of Frank, he definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for best actor !"

This is Roger Ebert's article in the "Chicago Tribune" column, and although everyone knew that he admired Ryan Jenkins, he did not expect to give such a high rating.

Especially "worthy of an Oscar nomination for best actor", you must know that there are very few best actor nominations under the age of 20 in the entire Oscar history.

If he wasn't Roger Albert. If not everyone knew that he had nothing to do with Ryan Jenkins, someone would definitely stand up to question him being bought by Ryan's team at this time.

Of course, there will be no shortage of naysayers everywhere.

"Ryan Jenkins' performance in Cat and Mouse really deserves so much compliment? All I saw was a handsome face dangling in front of the camera. It made the teenage girls in the theater scream, If that counts as acting. It deserves an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, then the Academy Awards are too cheap."

--Gary Graham, The New York Times

In fact,

After entering December, the Oscar PR battle has begun. Pie Kimsley is leading the team to actively PR, and has bought large-scale advertising pages in media such as Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, and The Hollywood Reporter. a lot of gunmen. A violent propaganda campaign is about to begin.

Ryan knows that his acting skills are not a problem at all, but age and seniority are obstacles, of course. With such a role, it is almost impossible to get the Golden Man, all he asks for is a nomination.

There is also Nicole's "Cry on the Island", which will be released soon, this is the work that laid the foundation for her, and the nomination is not to be missed.

so. Ryan wants to add a double insurance policy for this year, and for the next few years.

When he returned to Los Angeles with the crew on a tour of North America, "Cat and Mouse" officially released its third week at the box office, following its second week of $32.25 million. The box office in the third week was 25.18 million US dollars, just one step away from breaking 100 million.

"Bah~bah~bah~"

The gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle, Ryan took off the thick earplugs, removed the magazine, put the Beretta 92f or m10 pistol aside, then activated the button, and the target paper slowly came to him.

"Oh, God!"

Looking at the intact target paper, Ryan had the urge to tear it apart, but none of the fifteen bullets hit the target, which was really embarrassing.

"Don't be discouraged, Ryan."

Harvey Weinstein patted his arm comfortingly, "Your posture is very standard, just practice a few more times."

"I hope so." Ryan shook his head. After all, it's the first time to play with a gun, and it's normal to miss the target, isn't it?

This is a private club in Malibu, which specializes in entertaining the rich and famous. It not only has a shooting range, but also tennis, riding, golf and other projects.

"Hey Ryan, see that."

When the target paper was moved over, Harvey Weinstein smiled with fat on his face, "This is the result of an experienced veteran."

"It's really good." Ryan swept his eyes from the target paper, and then made a suggestion, "Harvey, how about we go horseback riding?"

Hearing Ryan's words, the flesh on Harvey Weinstein's face trembled even more. With his current size, he still wanted to practice riding?

"Forget it, let's play golf." Ryan was only joking before.

The white four-seat battery car was driving on the course. Maybe it wasn't the weekend. There weren't many people here. Harvey Weinstein knew that Ryan asked him out, and he must have something to talk about. After playing a few holes at random, he drove The battery car came to the empty outdoor seating area.

"It's such a pity, Ryan." Sitting under the umbrella, the two sipped black tea and chatted, "Last time that guy Bob held a swimsuit party, he specially asked me to invite you, but you didn't come."

"I invited a few young and beautiful female models for you." He winked.

"Oh, you're so generous, let me think about it." Ryan put down the porcelain cup and tapped his head. "These women must want to enter the film industry. If something really happened, how many roles would I have to give?"

"Find a few small roles and you can get away with it." Harvey Weinstein didn't care.

Sometimes it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Ryan knows that in that kind of occasion, there are not many men who can really keep the bottom line, so there is no plan to participate in the swimsuit party at all.

"I'm not like you, Harvey, with so many characters." Ryan smiled, his face straightened, and changed the subject, "I heard that you haven't had a good time with Disney recently?"

"That's right." Harvey Weinstein shrugged. "Aren't you the same?"

The Weinstein brothers are also powerful figures. After Miramax was acquired by Disney, it did not receive enough attention, and instead became a company specializing in distributing niche movies for Disney, which was completely different from their brothers' original idea.

In particular, Michael Eisner, the tyrant of Disney, and the poor relationship between the Weinstein brothers and him, has long been spread throughout the circle.

"Disney has become Michael Eisner's kingdom alone." Ryan frowned and said this after thinking for a long time.

"As long as I'm with Bob, Miramax won't let him reach out."

Although Disney is Miramax's largest shareholder, it is not an easy task to reshuffle Miramax's board of directors and kick the Weinstein brothers out.

"This way our cooperation can continue." Ryan curled his knuckles and tapped slowly on the small white table, "Harvey, we are old friends, we have been working together very happily, and Ni and I may have Today, the first person to thank is you."

"You're too kind, Ryan." After dealing with him for so many years, Harvey Weinstein knew the character of the young man opposite him. "Is that Nicole?"

"Harvey." Ryan didn't answer his question and said to himself, "We will jointly produce a trilogy series, with big investment and big production, I guarantee a good harvest at the box office and word of mouth, and the total global box office will definitely exceed one billion. Dollar."

Harvey Weinstein straightened up immediately, knowing that Ryan must have something else to say.

"One day, I mean, if, you and Bob can't stand the pressure from Disney." Ryan made an apologetic gesture and continued, "If you want to leave Miramax and start a new film company, I… … can provide you with financial support.”

"real?"

"Harvey, you should know that my promises are still valid."

After so many years, everyone knows that Ryan walks the talk when it comes to movies.

"Okay, Ryan, tell me your terms, I hope it's not too much." Harvey Weinstein understands that this has nothing to do with friendship, it's just a transaction, "Ryan, shouldn't... yours age……"

"Harvey, I only need two best actresses and a few nominations." Ryan tapped his fingers slowly, "I think as long as the work is good, Nicole's one shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? "

Harvey Weinstein smiled. Nicole Kidman needs acting skills and qualifications. As long as there is a role with a similar weight, it is really not difficult to cooperate with public relations.

Ryan? Jenkins is not the former Ryan? Jenkins, and his Harvey Weinstein is not the Harvey Weinstein for a golden statue.

"Oscar next year..." Ryan stretched out two fingers, and Harvey Weinstein nodded, "I've seen the screening of "A Little Island", no problem."

Just a few days before Ryan returned to Los Angeles, "Frightening Island" had just held a screening in Los Angeles. Although Nicole's performance in it was called inexplicably neurotic by some tabloids, it was unanimously praised by the mainstream media. I think she digs deep into the inner world of this character.

Called George, and Ryan asked him to send over the script and setting draft.

"Harvey, the investment is fifty-fifty. I am the producer of the film. From the actors to the staff, the first choice is to respect my choice. The start time may be later."

"No problem!" Harvey Weinstein would have liked him to do so. "I can be the handyman if you need me, Ryan." ()
