Best of Hollywood

Chapter 57: Accident

Since he bought Blue Sky Studios, except for meeting George Lucas, Ryan spent the rest of the time in the "Saw 2" crew, as if he had forgotten about the Blue Sky Studios he had just bought.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to Blue Sky Studio, but Ryan knows that he doesn't understand the production technology of animated feature films, let alone a 3D animated feature film, and can only leave these things to professionals.

Generally speaking, almost all animated feature films are aimed at audiences of all ages, or are biased towards underage children.

For this aspect, Ryan really doesn't understand, he has never watched a few cartoons in his previous life, unless it was Havoc in Heaven and Gourd Baby.

As for the animated feature films produced by Blue Sky Studio, at most he knows the names and has never seen them.

In this way, it is better to focus on "Chain Saw 2".

In fact, Ryan didn't have a lot of producer work, and since Sophia continued to serve as executive producer, she was responsible for many things.

But compared to "Saw 1", Sophia's work is obviously a lot easier. The preparations for the crew are all in charge of the 20th Century Fox, and the speed is scary.

During this period, apart from some disagreements with the person in charge of 20th Century Fox and the selection of actors, she hardly encountered any difficulties.

Even Gregory Hoblit, the director of the crew, rarely asked about Sophia's work unless necessary.

Gregory-Hoblitt is very clear about his status. Ryan is the main investor of the film, but also has multiple identities as producer and screenwriter. In many things, he can only shoot according to Ryan's wishes.

Sophia often acted as Ryan's spokesperson, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

What's more, the crew members don't know that Sofia's father is the famous director Coppola.

To put it bluntly, Gregory Hoblit's directorship is somewhat inaccurate, or to be precise, it is a filming job of Ryan.

Everything related to the filming method and plot of the film is determined by Ryan himself, and he can only shoot within this framework.

Scenes like this are not surprising in Hollywood. The power of many crews is in the hands of producers, not film directors.

In this regard, 20th Century Fox, not only did not hide anything, but wished that Ryan would shoot it himself.

As for Gregory-Hobright's ideas, no one cared.

For Twentieth Century Fox, the core of the "Saw" series will always be Ryan, not Gregory Hoblitt or another director.

As time passed day by day, the shooting progress of "Saw 2" was very fast. After more than a week, most of the shots have been shot, and it is expected to be announced that the shooting will end in another week or so.

Start the next session to edit the video, and finally cut out more than 100 minutes of content from a bunch of shots.

Regarding editing rights, Ryan once had a fierce conflict with 20th Century Fox.

Facing the person in charge of 20th Century Fox, he even made it clear that he can no longer care about the producer's remuneration, and he can also make concessions on the selection of actors. The only thing that cannot be compromised is the editing rights.

Ryan's producer fee is not a lot, or it doesn't fit his current status.

But then again, the production cost of "Chain Saw 2" was only $4 million, which seems to be more than three times higher than the production cost of "Chain Saw 1".

Ke Ruien asked for more plasma, props, and the increase in actors' remuneration, in general, it's really not a lot.

He can't open his mouth like a lion and offer a million-dollar producer fee!

share!

It's even more impossible, even if many gold medal producers in Hollywood, in addition to the share stipulated by the Producers Union, it is difficult to obtain the box office share of the rest of the film.

So Ryan simply asked for a little producer fee for a symbolic amount.

After some negotiations, 20th Century Fox had no choice but to give in, handing over the final editing rights of the film to him, and only reserved the right to make suggestions.

It was Sofia Coppola, who got a big executive producer's salary this time.

It seemed that Ryan was at a disadvantage. In fact, he didn't feel anything. Anyway, 20th Century Fox only accounted for one-third of the film's investment, and he was the main investor.

Just after shooting a scene, Sophia came up with a cup of hot coffee, "Do you have time in the afternoon!"

"A small exhibition needs you to go, and Spielberg invited it."

"exhibition?"

"In what way?"

Ryan suddenly thought of Spielberg's background, and his heart moved slightly, "Could it be related to sex!"

The whole of Hollywood or most of the people on the earth know that Spielberg is a staunch anti-governmentist. The "Schindler's List" released last year directly puts the sham on the pillar of shame.

"That's right, it's an exhibition about the persecution of Jews by the Communist Party during World War II."

"Spielberg or other Jews hold similar exhibitions almost every year and invite some public figures to attend, but you can rest assured that there will be no special media interviews."

After finishing speaking, Sophia subconsciously glanced at a certain part of the crew, and continued: "You can definitely take your little lover with you, it's all a date."

About Ryan and Monica Bellucci's tricks, almost everyone in the crew knows it well.

It is very common for directors and leading actresses to get together in Hollywood.

Not to mention an unmarried couple, even a more shocking mess, it's not news to Hollywood.

"It seems that I want to remind you that it's okay to find a sexual partner, but for the other half, then you'd better stay away from Hollywood actresses, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

Ryan was very speechless, wishing to refute, but when he thought that Sophia hadn't met Spike-Jones yet, there was no marriage or ex-husband, so he could only hold back.

In her previous life, Sophia's contacts seemed to be Hollywood professionals.

At noon, after a simple lunch, Ryan took Monica Bellucci and drove away from the shooting scene to the exhibition in North Hollywood.

Facing the photos of the murder of Jews in the exhibition, Monica couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, deeply shocked.

She is an Italian, and based on her intuitive understanding, she is not very clear about the crimes committed by the Communist Party. She can't believe the scenes in front of her at all, such as the unburned corpses in the crematorium and the piles of dead corpses in the gas chamber.

On the contrary, Ryan was a member of the other side of the Pacific Ocean in his previous life, and he had seen many crimes left by the Japanese army. Compared with the photos in front of him, it was even worse.

"The experience of the Jews is indeed worthy of sympathy, but the Jews are also a forgetful nation." Ryan's tone was very flat, as if he didn't see the pictures in front of him.

Just as Monica Bellucci looked confused, an angry voice suddenly sounded behind the two.

"Young man, you must give me an explanation today and apologize for your words just now."

An old man in his sixties or seventies looked at Ryan coldly. If he was ten years younger, he would have rushed forward.

Jewish!

Or a Jew!

Monica Bellucci immediately had a bad premonition, and secretly pulled Ryan to show that he had better apologize immediately and don't cause trouble. You must know the influence of Jewish people in Hollywood. Dare to underestimate.

Ryan nodded, telling Monica not to worry, then turned to the old man who got up suddenly and said, "Sorry, I don't think what I said just now was wrong. The Jews are a forgetful people."

“As far as I know, during World War II, a consul-general of the Austrian regional consulate opened the door to Jews rejected by more than 50 countries, issued visas to thousands of Jews, and was even expelled during the period. I went to the consulate, but I didn't give in at all."

"However, such a heroic figure seems to have been forgotten by the Jews. They only remember Schindler and Schindler's list, but they don't know that there was a Chinese who helped a large number of Jews during World War II. Far more than Schindler's list."

Ryan's tone was unceremonious, and he was not even afraid of being known by the Jews, because what he said was the truth~www.wuxiahere.com~ Even for the release of "Schindler's List" last year, these Jews owed He Fengshan an apology.

He Fengshan is a very common name, but it helped thousands of Jews during World War II, but now only a few people know it.

In the previous life, He Fengshan died of illness in San Francisco, USA on September 28, 1997. When his daughter He Manli was packing her luggage, she accidentally discovered He Fengshan’s diary when he issued visas to Jews, and after sorting out and checking relevant historical materials, she finally published it.

He Fengshan's deeds back then were made public.

For a while, Frank Pearson's eyes softened, he took a deep look at Ryan, and said: "I will investigate this matter myself, and if it is true, then I will publicize his deeds to all Jews, and I personally apologize to you."

"If it's just a lie, I'll let you know how hard it is to offend an old Jewish man."

"No one can slander the Jewish race."

"I hope so." Ryan shrugged, as if he didn't care about the matter, "His name is He Fengshan, he is a Chinese, and he should live in Los Angeles now. You can investigate or look up some historical materials."

"I will." After speaking, Frank Pearson turned and left without hesitation.

Seeing this, Monica Bellucci finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was really afraid that Ryan and the old man would rush out, which might arouse the hostility of the entire Jewish circle.

"Listen to me, don't do this next time, don't offend any old Jewish people."

"Don't worry, it's okay, what I said is all the truth." Ryan told her not to worry.

Unless history changes, he was just telling a fact.
