Rebirth In Hollywood

Opening the file bag, Steven Soderbergh took out a stack of documents, the top of which was a very formal invitation. He knew that the invitation was from Jenkins Films, a name that had spread across the United States a few days ago. of young people also called him.

Below is a brief synopsis of the script and character introductions, as well as several newspaper clippings, mostly details of the lawsuit between Erin Brockovich and Pacific Gas \u0026 Electric.

He has also seen this lawsuit in the newspapers. In recent years, especially after the verdict this year, there has been a lot of uproar in the major media.

I didn't expect Ryan Jenkins to move so fast, not long after the case was over, he aimed at the key people in it and wanted to shoot a biographical movie.

Steven Soderbergh roughly flipped through the script's outline and character introductions, and then looked at the cast list that was temporarily determined. He vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking. This movie must be aimed at the 1998 Oscars. .

Although he admires the talent and ability of the other party, frankly speaking, he and the small circle he belongs to do not like Ryan Jenkins' style. In the words of some friends, the other party is too philistine and does not understand what art is at all. .

Of course, if there is any element of envy or jealousy, then only God knows. After all, he can pull in hundreds of millions of dollars in investment at any time, which is simply unrealistic for literary films.

"Steven, what did you think about it?" the agent and friend sitting opposite him asked at this time.

"I need to see the full script."

Despite what he said, Steven Soderbergh was already moved by the $50 million shooting budget and the director-producer position.

Meanwhile, Jenkins Studios is housed in an office building in Burbank. Nicole is sitting in her office, watching the assistant bring a thick stack of documents from outside and stack them on the desk.

"Oh, God!" Nicole covered her forehead as she looked at the stacks of documents several inches thick. Ask the female assistant, "Anything else?"

"Also!" The female assistant nodded and explained, "Mr. Rodriguez sent a lot of relevant materials..."

"Bring it all over." Nicole waved to her.

Nicole knew that these materials were carefully researched by Ryan, except for the detailed introduction of Erin Brockovich. And the law firm and Pacific Gas \u0026 Electric, and the case of the lawsuit that ended shortly after.

These all helped her to understand Erin Brockovich from start to finish,

Learn more about the entire lawsuit.

However, instead of flipping through these materials, she thought of the survey and consulting company.

The company that Ryan advocated for the establishment of the company has played an important role in the past few years. That Garcia Rodriguez may not be a qualified operator, but he is an expert in investigation and analysis. He has provided them with extremely detailed information in several acquisitions and other events.

And, with the help of Wilson's law firm, he can always find loopholes in the law and won't touch the line easily.

Ryan!

Nicole's mind was immediately replaced by the handsome and determined face. This year was the happiest and happiest time in her life. Whenever she recalled the sweetest moments with Ryan, she always felt that she had lived in vain before. He always guarded her silently, and always quietly replaced her. She solves any trouble and always gives her the greatest joy...

Even some thoughts that once had, will always melt in the lingering of the two of them getting along day and night.

She once gave him the favor, but since this year, he has used it on himself as it is, and even made some unreasonable demands on himself. He will do his best to make it happen.

This is an indescribable but wonderful feeling that will make people indulge in it unconsciously, and Nicole wants to maintain this feeling until the moment when it belongs to her forever.

shook his head. Nicole dispelled these wild thoughts and focused her energy on the information in front of her. If she wants to create brilliance, how can she succeed if she doesn't work hard?

In the apartment dormitory of the University of Southern California, Ryan is helping several classmates pack their bags. The New Year's holiday is about to start. The four Darren are not going to go home. They will go to David Fincher's crew in the afternoon to report and do some work. The most basic work, adding practical experience.

"Ryan, are you sure you're not with us?" David asked.

"Come on, David." Reese dragged his luggage toward the door. "If Ryan goes to work as a handyman on a set, the entire North American entertainment media must go crazy."

"How many of you..."

Ryan waved and sent them out of the apartment building.

Everyone has their own ideals, but many people have fallen on the road to their ideals. It is undoubtedly a kind of happiness to be able to engage in a career that they like and are interested in.

For example, Ryan himself, he likes the profession of an actor or a star very much, but he is not interested in directing. For him, if he wants to control the crew and gain more power, a production talent is a better choice.

Hollywood implements the producer system. How many big directors can really compete with producers?

Unlike him, Darren's goal is to become a director, and he has no interest in literary films, sci-fi films, etc., only the kind of horror film that sprinkles ketchup.

Reese was interested in photography and wanted to be a top photographer like Russell Carpenter.

David has considerable talent in editing, while Chen dreams of making his own films after he has completed his studies and returned to China.

Thinking of ideals, Ryan can't help but think of Steven Soderbergh. The bald director is barely an idealist. At the age of 26, he won the Palme d'Or for "Sex, Lies, Videotape" and became the Cannes Film Festival. After being the youngest winner, he has rejected many invitations for commercial films and is still groping forward in art films.

"Eileen Brockovich" is not an art film, even a biographical film, which is a bit reluctant. This film completely shaped her into the image that the American public should have as a civilian hero.

So, to be more precise, this should be an inspirational commercial movie.

Even if Steven Soderbergh refuses to take the helm, it doesn't matter. Ryan has already prepared backup candidates. Ron Howard and Ridley Scott are also among the choices.

By the way, the outline and settings of "Peerless Catastrophe" have been handed over to the editorial team for supplementation. After the new year, Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer will be contacted. The latter is not a problem, and the former is estimated to be a little troublesome.

And Charlize Theron, who the South African Diamond has called several times recently, invited him to dinner as a thank you to the "Jurassic Park" heroine.

Ryan has some headaches. If such a beautiful and bubbling woman invites, it must be a fake to say that he is not attracted...

The ringing of the phone interrupted Ryan's thoughts, but it was Natalie's phone call from New York.

"Hi, Nat."

"Good news for you, Ryan." Natalie over there was clearly delighted. "I got the part of Anne Frank."

"Oh, congratulations, Nat." Ryan sighed, Natalie still chose the Broadway and "Annie Diaries" stage play, "Have the rehearsal and performance time been confirmed?"

"The rehearsal will start after the New Year, and the official performance will be held in June."

"Okay, I'll wait to see your debut."

"Come on, Ryan, I won't just take your word for it."

Hearing Natalie's slightly complaining voice on the phone, Ryan could only shrug his shoulders and change the subject, "Rehearsal after the New Year, so are you still coming over for the audition?"

"Of course, the audition is at the end of February, there will be no conflict." Natalie did not hesitate, "This is a prequel to "Star Wars"!"

She is really smart enough to know how to choose! Ryan sighed.

Although Natalie has three films in theaters this year, all of her small roles in them have not caused much repercussions, and it is clear that she understands that a film role with sufficient weight is a must.

"Nate, you must get the role of Padmé Amidala. There are surprises waiting for you in the future." The agreement between Ryan and George Lucas is limited to the two of them.

"Surprise?" Natalie said with a thick nasal voice, "You know, Ryan, when you grow up, you only bring me surprises and no joy!"

The corner of Ryan's mouth trembled, and he simply said the answer, "I made an agreement with George to play the adult Anakin Skywalker!"

"Anakin Skywalker in adulthood?" Natalie said after a long pause, "Is... Is it Padmé Amidala's lover?"

Ryan, the script for the first draft of the prequel trilogy, had already asked for it from Lucas and mailed it to Natalie, which is a potential advantage.

"Yeah, dear Nate, is this a surprise?" Ryan deliberately changed his tone.

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie snorted like a snort. "It has nothing to do with my audition."

"Oh, God, Nat, you broke my heart again." Ryan laughed.

"You've broken my heart countless times, Ryan!" Natalie must have gritted her teeth.

"Well, when you go to New York, I can let you take a few bites, right?"

"You're coming to New York? What time?"

"After the new year."

"Aren't you going to put pigeons again, Ryan?"

"I'm going to Marvel Comics and Blue Sky Studios, don't forget, Nat, I'm the boss of those two companies."

"Sure enough, every time I come here, it's because of other things, and then I come here to see my best friend, right?"

"So I asked you to apply to a high school in Los Angeles."

"I love Long Island High School."

Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed, and neither of the two wanted to hang up the phone. The long distance between New York and Los Angeles kept the deep friendship between them.
