Rebirth In Hollywood

The most impressive thing in the whole movie is the battle for Omaha Beach at the beginning and the small town attack and defense at the end of the film. Since Omaha Beach is now a protected area, and it has been a different person for many years, the crew had no choice but to A long, narrow beach was found in Ireland as a location.

The props team and the art team are making arrangements over there, and there is still some time before the completion.

As a result, the shooting of the town's offensive and defensive battle was put at the forefront by Spielberg. In some respects, this was also to take care of Ryan. After all, he also had to take care of his studies and so on.

If he misses class for too long, he will encounter a lot of trouble with his grades this semester and his graduation later.

Ryan is one of the film's investors and producers, and it's normal to enjoy some kind of preferential treatment, and no one can say anything.

After Spielberg called to stop, the rumbling sound finally stopped. Ryan's first action was to take out the earplugs from the ear holes, and then sat directly on the ruins and took the water glass handed over by George. , took a big sip.

His physical strength is definitely among the best among these actors. The constant shifting and dodging of the scene just now consumes a lot of money, and it is inevitable that he will be a little tired.

Ryan is still good. Tom Hanks was sitting on the cement block next to him, dressed in rough clothes, and almost spit out the water he drank in his mouth.

"God, it's terrifying to live like this for two more months." Tom Hanks finally caught his breath and slapped the rifle that Ryan put next to him, "I really envy you, Ryan. It's time to wrap up and head back to Los Angeles."

"Los Angeles?" Ryan said deliberately with a sigh, "sunshine, beach. And beautiful women, it's a heavenly life."

"What if I put you on an island? Or a deserted island with no people!" Tom Hanks asked suddenly without end.

"Desert island?" Ryan scratched his head strangely.

"That's it, Ryan." Tom Hanks thought for a moment before saying, "After filming "Forrest Gump", an idea came to me. Um..."

"It has something to do with the desert island?" Ryan frowned and thought.

"That's right." Tom Hanks simply sat closer, "I'm thinking of a modern-day Robinson story, an impatient workaholic who was stranded on a desert island because of a plane breakdown and lost In the interaction between people, the only purpose of life is to survive, and since then his outlook on life has gradually changed..."

Ryan listened carefully to what Tom Hanks said,

He spoke for about five or six minutes, although he had a general idea. However, it lacks sufficient logic and the story is quite chaotic. The protagonist is a FedExman for a while and becomes a system architect for a while. It can be seen that Uncle Baozi's ideas about the story are far from mature.

This is not surprising. Tom Hanks is a good actor, but not a good screenwriter or a good director...

"Frankly speaking, Tommy." The two are old friends, and Ryan has nothing to be afraid of. "This story is a bit unusual, and your framework and logic are too confusing, and the protagonist you mentioned, There is no doubt that this will be a one-man show that requires the actors to have enough explosive performances."

"There aren't many actors like this in Hollywood," Ryan added. "Of course, you are one of them."

"Hehe, Ryan." Tom Hanks said very seriously, "I believe you are one of them."

"Then Tommy you mean..." Ryan spread his hands.

"Ryan, you know. I'm not a screenwriter." Tom Hanks stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes, "If you can, take the time to help me complete this story, please. ?"

"Of course." Ryan nodded in response.

The filming continued, and Ryan's role gradually came to an end, and several rival scenes with Tom Hanks received a lot of applause from the crew.

Especially the conversation between James Ryan and Captain Miller, the beautiful life in the lines and the joyful expression of Ryan when recalling, against the ruins of the battlefield, showing a different scene...

This is also Ryan's last scene. After Spielberg called and passed, there was warm applause on the temporary set, not only for Ryan's excellent performance just now, but also for him to say goodbye.

Although there are not many scenes, the role of James Ryan has a lot to explore. He concentrates the most ordinary soldier image in the minds of Americans. He will be happy because of the past and cry because of sadness. He works hard Sticking to one's own post, completing the task assigned by the superior, and howling because of the fear of death, this is a very representative image in American movies.

Ryan is very confident in himself, and in several rival scenes, his performance is not weaker than Tom Hanks.

It is with this confidence that he returned to Los Angeles and welcomed a fat New Zealander who had been preparing for a long time at Jenkins Films.

The large conference room was completely blocked, and on the silver-white curtain in front, a full CG image was slowly playing, which was a scene of Rivendell and Minas Tirith specially produced by Peter Jackson's studio. Only for a few minutes.

Although these clips can only be described as rough compared to the movies of the previous life, Ryan has seen traces of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in them, and the big fat New Zealander seems to be well prepared.

"Peter, can you talk about the specific movie adaptation plan?"

Although he made a decision in his heart, after the clip was played and the lights were turned on again, Ryan still sent an inquiry. It was about the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. He had to be cautious.

"My plan is to follow the mode of the novel and shoot it into a trilogy." Peter Jackson looked over, and after Ryan made a gesture to continue, he said, "On the basis of being as faithful as possible to the original, Make the necessary cuts, Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring will be the focus, as well as the simplistic personalities of Legolas, Gimli and others..."

New Zealand's big fat man can't stop talking. Obviously, he has been planning for the adaptation for a long time, and he already has a general plan in his heart. If it is not a copyright issue, I am afraid that the preparation work has already started.

Ryan didn't have any guilt. If nothing else, he took action to integrate the copyright early, saving Peter Jackson's previous life's waste of time and energy due to copyright issues.

So, I am still a good person! Ryan's face was thick to a certain extent.

"Do you have an initial budget? And a script?"

Hearing Ryan's words, Peter Jackson was refreshed, and since he asked this question, he must be very satisfied with himself, "My Weta studio and I have roughly made a rough estimate, and each film is only 7500 yuan. Ten thousand dollars is enough, ah... I forgot, I plan to shoot the trilogy together, it will save a lot of unnecessary expenses, as for the script..."

He looked at Ryan, hesitant.

"Let's do it, Peter." She glanced at Julis Stewart, she nodded, and clearly agreed with the guy, and then Ryan made a decision, "Peter, the script is still left to your team to handle, and Have a budget..."

Peter Jackson was first happy, then surprised, "Ryan, $75 million..."

Before he could finish, Ryan interrupted, "Peter, I have a total budget of $300 million for the trilogy, which may be jointly invested, and I will give you as much on-set power as possible, and I can also accept threats. Part of the Tower Studio investment, and I hope you and your team are fully committed to this project from now on."

"No problem! I promise!"

This is a complete surprise for Peter Jackson.

"Okay, Peter, I'll wait to see the results of your work." Now that he had reached his intention, Ryan naturally assumed the style of a boss.

After seeing off Peter Jackson, Ryan hurriedly drove to a small theater nearby, where a preview would be held later.

The production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. Not to mention the lengthy shooting, it is only the preliminary preparation. In Peter Jackson's plan, it will take at least a year.

Peter Jackson needs to set up a crew as soon as possible. After the early funds of Jenkins Films are received, they can order sets, train horses, prepare props, select actors, and find suitable locations. The shooting of such magical epic movies, even Worse than sci-fi.

That's arguably part of the reason Ryan didn't want to get involved.

And after talking with Peter Jackson, he found that the other party's thinking is roughly the same as the previous life's movie. It seems that this guy has not been affected by the butterfly wings too much. Since this guy did a good job in the previous life, then he will be responsible for it. .

The investment of 300 million US dollars is a lot of pressure for the current Jenkins film industry. Fortunately, the early share of "Titanic" has been received, and this money does not need to be invested in one time. If the plan goes well, wait until By the end of the century, it might even be possible to add some post-production funding to the trilogy.

Of course, if several major film companies are willing to share part of the investment like "Titanic", Ryan welcomes with both hands. With these guys, if the clowns in the previous life jumped out and chirped after the movie became popular, then It's also a powerful hitter.

For some things, although his team has achieved the ultimate when integrating copyright, some people will inevitably be bewitched by the temptation of huge interests.

The car stopped in front of the theater, Ryan strode in, and saw Nicole and Kingsley walking around in the front hall, seeming to be a little anxious waiting.

"Has it begun, Nicole?" he asked quickly.

"Just waiting for you." Nicole rolled her eyes and took Ryan to the screening room quickly.

The upcoming event here is naturally a preview of "Eileen Brockovich". Ryan and Nicole have jointly invited many well-known media personalities and members of the film academy. The purpose is conceivable. ()
