Chapter 229: Take what you need

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

Besides, Ryan and Tom Hanks are on the crew, which is enough to attract the attention of the public and the media.

Although the media mixed reviews of the MV-style rhythm and the overly relaxed and freehand plot, four days after the first week, "Cat and Mouse Game" won $40.22 million and successfully topped the North American weekly box office rankings. Even though it was still a bit far from the $50 million investment, it was a very good start.

The three giants of DreamWorks breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This was the first movie produced by DreamWorks after its establishment. There were many people waiting to see their jokes in Hollywood. Now it has a good start. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the movie will definitely sell well.

But what is unexpected is that after the first week of the movie's box office was released, the famous film critic Roger Albert's film review was late.

"Because I watched it a few more times, I have only written something now. Speaking of which, this is not a big production, but it looks relaxed and enjoyable. I put aside the plot and rhythm, a man in his forties and a man in his sixteen years showed us a different kind of father-son relationship. Tom Hanks and Ryan Jenkins contributed the most outstanding performance on the big screen this year! Especially Ryan, he is still shocking when he grew up. The Hollywood child star curse seems to have never existed. His performance in this movie completely surpasses "The Sixth Sense". With the role of Frank, he can definitely deserve the nomination for the best actor for an Oscar!"

This is Roger Albert's article in the Chicago Tribune column. Although everyone knows that he appreciates Ryan Jenkins, he did not expect to give such a high evaluation.

Especially, ‘I can afford to be nominated for Best Actor in an Oscar.’ You should know that the winner of Best Actor under the age of 20 is very few 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 and question him that he was bribed by Ryan's team.

Of course, there will be no shortage of people who sing the opposite tune anywhere.

"Ryan Jenkins' performance in "Cat and Mouse Game" really deserves so much praise? All I saw was a handsome face swaying in front of the camera, which caused the girls in the theater to keep screaming. If this is also considered acting, it is worthy of an Academy Award nomination, then the Academy Award would be too cheap."

——The New York Times Gary Graham

In fact, after December, the Oscar's public relations war began. Pai Jinsley was leading the team to actively public relations, buying large-scale advertising pages in media such as Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, and Hollywood Reporter. She hired many gunmen and was about to launch a fierce publicity offensive.

Ryan knew that his acting skills were not a problem at all, but his age and qualifications were obstacles. Of course, it was almost impossible to get a Little Golden Man with such a role, and all he asked for was a nomination.

There is also Nicole's "Far Cry of the Island", which will be previewed in a short time. This is a work that laid the foundation for her, and nominations cannot be missed.

So, Ryan will add a double insurance for this year and the next few years.

When he returned to Los Angeles with the crew in North America, the third week of "Cat and Mouse Game" was officially released. After winning $32.25 million in the second week, the third week of box office was 25.18 million, just one step away from breaking 100 million.

“可~可~可~”

The smoke from the muzzle rose up. Ryan took off his thick earplugs, took off the magazine, put the Bereta 92F or M10 pistol aside, and then activated the button. The target paper slowly came to his face.

"Oh, God!"

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

"Don't be discouraged. Ryan."

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

"I hope this is the case." Ryan shook his head. After all, it's normal to off-target play for the first time, right?

This is a private club located in Malibu, which specializes in entertaining wealthy and celebrities. It not only has shooting ranges, but also tennis, riding, golf and other events.

"Hey, Ryan, did you see it?"

When the target paper was moved over, Harvey Weinstein smiled so hard that his fat face shook, "This is the result of experienced veterans."

"It's really good." Ryan swept his eyes over the target paper and then made a suggestion, "Have, how about we go on a horse ride?"

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

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

The white four-seat battery car was driving on the court, maybe not for the weekend, and there were not many people here. Harvey Weinstein knew that Ryan had asked him out and there was something to talk about. After making a few holes at will, he drove the battery car to the empty outdoor rest area.

"What a pity, Ryan." Sitting under the sun umbrella, the two of them chatted while tasting black tea. "Last time Bob held a swimsuit party, I asked me to invite you, but you didn't even arrive."

"I have invited a few young and beautiful female models for you." He squeezed his eyes.

"Oh, you're so generous, let me think about it." Ryan put down the porcelain cup and knocked his head. "These women must want to enter the film industry. If something really happens, how many characters do I have to pay?"

"You can just find a few small characters to pass it." Harvey Weinstein was not concerned.

Sometimes it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t. Ryan knows very well that there are not many men who can really keep the bottom line in that kind of occasion, so he has no intention of attending a swimsuit party at all.

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

"Yes." Harvey Weinstein shrugged his shoulders, "Aren't you the same?"

The Weinstein brothers are also strong figures. After Miramax was acquired by Disney, he did not receive enough attention. Instead, he became a company that specializes in distributing niche movies for Disney, which is very different from the original idea of ​​their brothers.

Especially Michael Eisner, the Disney tyrant, the difference between the Weinstein brothers and his relationship has long been spread throughout the circle.

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

"As long as Bob and I are together for a day, Miramax can't tolerate him."

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

"In this way, our cooperation can continue." Ryan flexed his knuckles and slowly tapped the white table. "Have, we are old friends, and we have always been very happy to cooperate. Ni and I may have today, and the first person we should thank is you."

"You are so polite, Ryan." After so many years of dealing with each other, Harvey Weinstein knew exactly who the young man was, "Is it Nicole?"

"Harvey." Ryan did not answer his question and said to himself, "We jointly produce a trilogy series, investing in big productions, and I guarantee a double harvest of box office and reputation, and the global box office will definitely exceed one billion US dollars."

Harvey Weinstein immediately raised his waist, and he knew Ryan must have something else to say.

"One day, I mean if, you and Bob can't stand the pressure of Disney." Ryan continued after making a sorry gesture, "I want to leave Miramax and rebuild a film company, and I... can provide you with financial support."

"real?"

"Harvey, you should know that my commitment is always valid."

Over the years, everyone knows that Ryan has to do what he says in movies.

"Okay, Ryan, tell me your conditions, hope not to go too far." Harvey Weinstein understood that this has nothing to do with friendship, it was just a deal, "Ryan, shouldn't... your age..."

"Harvey, I only have two Best Actresses and a few nominations." Ryan slowly tapped his finger, "I think as long as the work is excellent, Nicole's one should not be difficult for you, right?"

Harvey Weinstein smiled. Nicole Kidman needs acting skills and qualifications. As long as he has a role of similar weight and cooperates with public relations, it is indeed not difficult.

Ryan Jenkins is not the Ryan Jenkins of the past, and he is not the Harvey Weinstein who is a little golden man.

"Next year's Oscar..." Ryan stretched out two fingers, and Harvey Weinstein nodded, "I've watched the preview of "Far Cry of the Island", there's no problem."

Just a few days before Ryan returned to Los Angeles, "Far Cry" was just previewed in Los Angeles. Although Nicole's performance in it was called inexplicable neurotic by some tabloids, it was unanimously praised by mainstream media, who believed that she had deeply explored the inner world of the character.

After calling George, Ryan asked him to send the script and the drawings of the settings.

"Harvey, investing in 55, I am the producer of the movie. From actors to staff, the first choice is to respect my choice. The startup time may be later."

"No problem!" Harvey Weinstein couldn't help him, "As long as you need, Ryan, I can be a handyman."
