Time slowly slipped into October, and the hot temperatures in Los Angeles were no longer there, but the publicity war between major film companies has entered a white-hot stage. Now the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year period is being paid more and more attention, and the box office numbers have begun to align with the summer period. Many major productions have placed the schedule in this period.

As the first work to enter the North American film market, Luc Besson also set his sights on this period of time. Although he was still busy with post-production, the promotional plan for "Killer Leon" was unfolded as early as the day the movie started.

Just like "Terminator 2", after Ryan got involved, Columbia Pictures lost the right to release the movie, and of course Ryan himself didn't know it.

It should be said that he was born to have a conflict with Japan...

Miramax released the first trailer early, edited by Luc Besson, abandoning the sensitive content in the movie, focusing on Leon's superb killer skills and hot scenes, and how to save a little girl named Matilda from desperate situations.

Judging from the trailer alone, this is a story of a killer rescuing a desperate girl. There seems to be nothing special about it, but the screenwriter of this movie is Ryan's name behind him. His works have always been known for their creativity, so most people believe that the trailer shows only a small part of the movie content.

There are a lot of boring critics trying to interpret the content of the movie from the trailer, after all, this is the only work that Ryan Jenkins will release in '92.

"This is a story about a killer. We can see from the trailer that the story should have happened in New York. The police also played a very disgraceful role in the movie, but I was a little worried that Ryan's most important period was growing up under the careful care of his sister Nicole Kidman. Does he know how to describe the image of a killer? Of course, we all know that Ryan has a wide range of reading and unexpected ideas. Perhaps he will describe a unique killer for us..."

These critics are very clear that making a fool of themselves before the movie is released is a stupid act, and what they write is often nonsense.

Some media have turned their attention to the cast and crew of this movie. After all, since Ryan's debut, his works have made many famous.

For example, in the film "The Sixth Sense", not only did he and Nicole Kidman become famous and officially entered Hollywood, but David Finch also made him nominate for the Oscar for Best Director with his debut work. Later, "Sleeping in the Seattle Night" made Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman both enter the ranks of Hollywood's first-line stars. "Body Guard" made Whitney Houston's career make it a big move, and the limelight slimly overwhelmed Madonna Siconi, recommended Brad Pitt to star in "Yihai Xiongfeng". Hollywood is about to welcome another popular idol actor.

"Whether it is director Luc Besson, or the two starring Jean Renault and Gary Oldman, we are not unfamiliar with us. Leon's image comes from Ryan's viewing a movie starring Jean Renault. According to director Besson, Gary Oldman is also recommended by Ryan. Perhaps we can see the wonderful performances of these two actors in the movie..."

"The other main actor, Miss Natalie Portman, is a newcomer. So far, we have not received much information about her. However, in the only few scenes in the trailer, we can vaguely see her excellent acting skills. Although her facial lines are a little rougher, they have a faint sense of Audrey Hepburn's childhood style. Moreover, several crew members we interviewed revealed that the acting skills shown by Miss Portman during filming can even be compared with Ryan Jenkins when filming "The Sixth Sense"..."

After reading this report, Ryan didn't have to call to ask and knew that this must be the news that Harvey Weinstein deliberately leaked. However, he kept his promise with Ryan and did not leak Natalie's identity information in advance.

And there is nothing outrageous, and Natalie's talent in performance is indeed unquestionable.

Now it's just a trailer, and it's only true that trouble will come after the movie is released. Ryan knows very well that even though he has some surgery on the plot of the movie, the controversy after the movie is released may be inevitable. Some people always like to stand on the commanding heights of morality and blame others, but never care whether they are clean or not.

"So after the trailer was released, your classmates didn't notice it?"

In the bedroom, Ryan was holding a microphone and talking on the phone with Natalie, who was far away in New York.

"Of course!" The voice over there was inevitably a little proud, "The actors announced by the movie were named Natalie Portman, and my name was Natalie Heshler. They were obviously not alone. Besides, I have changed my hairstyle long ago and have grown taller... Well, nothing else, no one will recognize me anyway."

"Come on, Nat." Ryan couldn't help but slammed, "This kind of trick can control the temporary effect. When the movie is released, your classmates will definitely overwhelm you...well, there are also journalists and paparazzi."

"That's not necessarily." Hearing this humming sentence, Ryan could almost imagine Natalie's disdain with her nose.

Unfortunately, Nat, even if you are smart, you are still naive! Ryan sighed secretly. With Natalie's age, the acting skills shown in the movie, and the sensitive subjects, the reporter will definitely dig out her old foundation.

Well... I also need to add Ryan Jenkins' childhood friend.

"Okay, Nat." Ryan tapped his finger, scratched his face again, and said, "If the movie is troubled after it is released, I hope you don't blame me."

"Blame you? Why am I..." Natalie's voice suddenly stopped, probably thinking of the sensitive themes of the movie. "Ryan, I remember you said in your letter before that you must go on bravely and firmly with the chosen path. All criticism, slander and difficulties are just bubbles. Do you think I will be afraid of these?"

Yes, Natalie in this life is not Natalie in her previous life. She has been influenced by some of her own! She is more ambitious and her surname is more proud and stronger.

Listening to her innocent and firm tone, for some reason, Ryan suddenly felt like he had a daughter growing up in the first place. It was just Natalie's next sentence that destroyed this feeling completely.

"Besides, Ryan, aren't you... standing in front of me? If you have criticism and arguments, you will first go to you. Just hide behind you...hehe..."

It was indeed a smart little loli, Ryan smiled helplessly, "Okay, dear Nat, let me act as your human shield."

After talking about some movies, Natalie on the other side suddenly asked, "Ryan, didn't you say you want to do it for the world... World Cup, is it the name? Is it a promotional mv for them? Not finished yet? I'm still waiting to watch it."

"No, it's early. The World Cup organizing committee had already agreed, but FIFA asked to cooperate with their publicity plan and would not be released until next year."

Speaking of which, Ryan was helpless. The [fucking] characters who were engaged in sports politics were too troublesome. If he hadn't used their power, he would have wanted to part with them.

After hanging up Natalie's phone call, Ryan put away the script of "The Sugar-Coated Trap". The script was basically completed. Although there were movies I had watched in my previous life, the adaptation work was not easy. He consulted a large number of legal books for this. Fortunately, this head in this life is good enough.

Anyway, the movie adaptation rights of the novel are in his hands, so he is not in a hurry to release it. Recently, he has been considering what kind of benefits he should use this work for?

Soon, "The Killer Leon" released a poster, and the crew directly adopted several sketches drawn by Ryan, the most eye-catching of which was naturally the one Leon and Matilda walking on the road.

Leon held Wannianqing in one hand and a pistol with a silencer in the other; Matilda was wearing a short jacket, with a sun-shaped pendant tied around her neck, and a bear doll in the other hand holding a paper bag in the other, looking at the cool killer on the side.

There are also separate posters of the three protagonists, and there are several pictures of Leon and Matilda living together.

In fact, some senior filmmakers with keen intuitions vaguely feel that the content of this movie is unusual, especially the pictures of the life of the little girl and the middle-aged killer. Why does it have a faint smell of "Taxi Driver"... No, it should be the smell of "Lolita".

Of course, before the movie is released, neither journalists nor critics will speak easily.

Perhaps out of confidence in Ryan, or perhaps because of the post-production progress of Luc Besson, Miramax set the schedule of "Killer Leon" on the fiercely contested Christmas schedule, and the premiere was also in New York.

"Don't worry, Harvey, I'll definitely attend the premiere. Nicole? She doesn't have time. At that time, she should go to Montana with the crew of "Jurassic Park". What's the rest? Go and ask Julius and your producers. Isn't they always responsible for the project? Nat? I think the suspense is the perfect choice to unravel the last moment, right? Then let's do it. See you later in New York, and I still have something to talk to you."

While driving, Ryan put down his mobile phone and couldn't help scratching his head. Speaking of the box office of "The Killer Leon" in his previous life was not very good in North America. Will Harvey Weinstein fail to put it in Christmas?

However, the more controversial the movies are, the more eye-catching it will be. With their own appeal, it shouldn’t be? After all, Natalie’s debut film should be promoted to a box office club for 100 million yuan?

Looking at the scene that was constantly regressing outside the car window, Ryan stretched and asked to the driver's seat, "George, how long will it take to get there?"

"It's still early, Ryan, if you're bored, you can sleep for a while." George said without looking back.

"Forget it."

Ryan shrugged and looked back. The familiar old Ford was hanging slowly behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head. The person behind him had a sense of smell and tracking ability.

Before leaving Beverly Hills, George went around several times and threw away all the reporters and paparazzi. Originally, this guy disappeared, but who knew that he had just left the territory of Los Angeles County, and he followed again.

Anyway, I was used to it, and Ryan didn't care. So he took the map and found a place called Sonoma on it. (To be continued.)
