Rebirth In Hollywood

"This is the academy's recognition of "Titanic" and the entire crew. No matter how many golden statues can be won in the end, this is a huge honor."

In the face of dozens of entertainment reporters, Ryan finally gave a simple response to the Oscar nomination list, "Myself? At this age, it is very rare to be nominated for the best actor in a row, I don't think I have the qualifications to win that little golden man."

After that, Ryan, under the protection of several bodyguards, turned his head and walked into the school.

After entering mid-February, the USC Film School ushered in a new semester. Walking on a quiet campus, without the riots of reporters and paparazzi, Ryan strode towards the office area of ​​the college, occasionally meeting with familiar faces. people say hello.

Today, the entire USC has long been accustomed to the existence of his star student. Even if people come to say hello from time to time, there are very few onlookers, even if occasionally a girl who is a nympho sends love letters or other gifts, Also rarely entangled for long periods of time.

Before coming to the tutor's office, after Ryan knocked gently on the door, Professor Gretel's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

"Hello, Professor Gretel." Ryan greeted respectfully.

"Sit down, Ryan." Professor Gretel gestured to the chair opposite the desk. After Ryan sat down, he said, "I heard from the assistant that you are going to take leave again? It's not long before school starts."

"Sorry, professor." Ryan scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "A movie I starred in is in preparation and will start shooting soon. I have to supervise several other movies, so the time is really tight."

"Ryan, go on like this. It's hard for you to get enough credits." Professor Gretel thought about it and said suddenly.

"I understand that I will make time and try to finish my studies."

After a simple conversation, Ryan came out. There are too many movies in the preparatory period and being produced, such as "Desert Island", "Blade Warrior", "American Pie", "Mission Impossible", "The Matrix", "Toys". "Story 2", "A Bug's Life", "Jurassic Park 2" and so on. Even if he delegates most of his powers, he always has to intervene every now and then, lest the film go too far off course.

Fortunately, the most troublesome special effects productions are currently produced by Jerry Bruckheimer or Katherine Kennedy.

After ordering a few cups of hot drinks from the open-air cafe of the Film Academy, Ryan returned to the temporary dormitory. When he pushed the door and walked in, he saw a few people in the living room sitting around the sofa.

While drinking bottled beer, we discussed things.

Seeing Ryan come in, a few people waved to say hello, Darren Bousman was also polite, took the hot coffee that Ryan was carrying, and distributed it to several other people.

"God. Ryan, you finally showed up, we thought you were graduating early."

"Should be dropping out." Someone added.

"I've been busy recently. What are you discussing?" Ryan sat down on the single sofa with a cup of coffee.

"What else, of course, is our experimental feature film." Chen Jiazheng explained casually, "Last summer vacation and the last New Year's vacation, we all worked in the crew you introduced, accumulated a lot of experience and earned money. With the academy's subsidy, it's enough to make a simple experimental feature film."

"Have you figured out what kind of feature films to shoot?" Ryan asked.

Cooperative filming of experimental feature films is a required course for students of their major. Most of the past students shot experimental films that lasted about 40 minutes.

However, Ryan knew. These guys want to shoot a standard-length feature film.

"It's a horror movie, of course," Darren Bousmanli added. "Standard 90 minutes."

"It's better to have a theatrical release." Reese answered.

"What about the script, do you have the script ready?"

The students' experimental feature films want to be released in regular theaters. The difficulty is not ordinary. Ryan can't help but wonder, what do these guys want to shoot?

"not yet."

"We are waiting for your idea."

"Ryan, you can also provide an idea."

Of course, these guys are obviously joking. They are not ideal students. In the past few years, under the introduction of Ryan, they have participated in many filming work on the crew. some intuitive understanding.

What does Ryan Jenkins' idea and script stand for? How many people in the entire film circle now do not understand?

You know, many small and medium-sized producers who want to cooperate but have no way to do it have even asked them to do public relations after hearing about the relationship between their classmates and friends.

However, several people are not stupid and understand how to choose.

"Actually, we already have a rough idea."

David, the most stable of them, said, "We're going to shoot a girl... um, a young girl who suddenly saw the reflection of a ghost in the middle of the night."

"We're going to rent an old apartment for the shoot," Darren Bosman added.

"That's it." Ryan raised his chin, thought for a while, and said, "It's better like this... er, this is just my suggestion, you don't need to pay too much attention..."

"Come on, Ryan." After Reese interrupted, he quickly took the laptop and opened the document, "Please continue."

"Okay." Ryan rolled his eyes, "The protagonist is increased to two people, the girl and her boyfriend, who are shot from the first point of view. To be precise, it is shot by the method of shooting a documentary. You can use the Sony The new dv camera is used as a shooting tool, and the content should be completely live..."

Although those present were inexperienced, they were no strangers to documentary filming. After Ryan said a few simple words, they understood.

However, Ryan only mentioned the filming techniques, not to mention the post-production operation, and did not even mention the specific content.

After all, this kind of film is almost useless except for the first-person shooting techniques and the follow-up propaganda. If the top students of the USC Film School are still high-level students with certain experience, they can’t even handle this. Why not? Just drop out of school.

"If you can, you'd better finish shooting and post-production as soon as possible."

Before going out, Ryan said casually, success or not has little to do with him now.

Even if the effect of their filming is as expected, Ryan does not intend to let Jenkins Films participate in it. This kind of overdraft of the film's reputation is completely worth the loss.

You can throw it to Drew Barrymore's Flower Films. Anyway, he is also one of the major shareholders. That lawless guy will like that kind of publicity and marketing methods that play tricks on the public.

Viral marketing!

After walking out of the school gate, breaking out of the reporters' siege, and getting into the car, Ryan couldn't help shaking his head.

In his previous life, he was engaged in the most basic work of the theater chain. He knew that viral marketing was completely a myth. The first time this thing would work very well, it would only get worse in the future. To a certain degree, it will bring huge negative effects.

People's psychological tolerance, like the audience's taste, sounds simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult to grasp.

The car left downtown Los Angeles and headed for the Warner Bros. studio, where "Blade Runner" is being filmed. As Marvel's first superhero movie, it has attracted a lot of media attention.

"Hi Ryan."

After sneaking into the studio, Ryan stood at a suitable distance and was looking at the camera. There was a chaotic fight when Stan Lee suddenly came over.

"Stan, you are..."

Ryan looked at him up and down. The old man should be wearing a costume, and it seems that he will go into battle in person.

"I made a cameo role."

Stan Lee stuck his signature sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "Ryan, are you interested?"

"Forget it." Ryan didn't want to be a background emperor.

There are a lot of fighting scenes in this film, and all kinds of cool action scenes emerge in an endless stream, but to see these, you must wait for the film to be completely post-processed.

In actual kung fu fighting, the movements are completely routine, the speed is extremely slow, and there is no ornamental interest. Ryan just watched it for a while and then lost interest, even if the action instructor in the middle surnamed Zhen went off the scene himself.

Soon, Ryan found what he was interested in. The Spanish girl, standing in front of the camera, dressed in tight leather clothes, set off an unusually hot body, showing the natural advantages of Latin girls.

Perhaps noticing Ryan's gaze, Penelope Cruz would show a charming smile from time to time during filming, and occasionally glances would fly across his face.

"Hi Ryan, long time no see."

Probably after shooting his own shot, Penelope Cruz came over to say hello after taking off his makeup.

"Hello, Pepe." Ryan nodded to her.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, Ryan." Penelope Cruz stood beside him, looking like a familiar friend, "Four Oscar nominations in a single session, it's crazy, how did you do it? of?"

"Work hard, add a little luck." Ryan shrugged indifferently.

No one knows better than him that most of his four nominations are for running with him, especially the best actor nomination. If it weren't for his halo and strong publicity in the early stage, there is almost no possibility of winning.

After a few casual chats, Ryan looked at his watch, made an apologetic gesture to Penelope Cruz, walked to the other side and greeted Stan Lee and other crew members before getting ready. farewell.

"Ryan, I heard that you just moved to a new house. Can you visit?"

Just before Ryan walked out of the studio, Penelope Cruz caught up from behind and made an unexpected request. ()
