Chapter 159: Conflict of release time

The huge conference room was silent, and the thick curtains covered several small windows tightly. More than a dozen people sat in large chairs, staring at the silver-white curtains attentively. A small projector was playing the thrilling scene.

Although everyone here, including Ryan, is considered a veteran in this industry, when the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared in the picture, he still couldn't help but look surprised. After special effects, it was not much different from the real dinosaur.

Although there is no soundtrack, and even some dubbings of the characters are not included, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is enough to kill everything in seconds.

Its huge head easily knocked over a Ford off-road vehicle, opened its bloody mouth, bit the two tires extremely flexibly, and stepped on the car with one foot. The sturdy off-road vehicle flattened like paper.

The one that was broadcast on the screen was "Jurassic Park", which was a small trial show, and the people sitting here were basically investors and producers.

The video is just a sample after the first editing, not only without the front and back letters and soundtrack dubbing, except for a few clips, even the special effects have not been added. Even so, the limited number of dinosaur scenes still make most people amazed.

Just an hour later, the trial meeting was over, and Ryan was the first to slap his palm. As long as the remaining special effects remain at the level of Tyrannosaurus Rex, this "Jurassic Park" will still sweep the world's film market.

"Stephen, it's very outstanding. That Tyrannosaurus Rex is better than I thought it was."

Walking closer to the Jewish director, Ryan praised him in a small way. Although Spielberg smiled brightly, he could not hide the fatigue on his face.

"Thank you, Ryan, I think this is the greatest success for you, the original author."

Over the past period of time, Spielberg has to take into account the late stages of the two movies. The pressure is indeed very great, even if George Lucas is responsible for the late stages of "Jurassic Park".

"Believe me, this movie will create a surprising record."

Ryan greeted Catherine Kennedy and looked at Ron Mayer who was walking over, "Ron, is the movie release date determined?"

"I will definitely be in the summer vacation period. I want to ask for your opinions on the specific date."

The promotional work of the movie has been in full swing since the day it started. Ron Mayer has no pressure on the release of the summer season.

"The first week of June." Ryan had long thought about it, even if they didn't ask, he would suggest, "Through the entire summer season, all movies can only tremble in the shadow of "Jurassic Park"!"

"Well... there are three months left. Stephen, can you complete the later stage?" Ron Mayer looked to the other side.

“No problem.”

Spielberg said confidently.

"And," Ryan spoke again, "How about you guys put the premiere screening location at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington?"

"Good idea, we can also invite some naturalists to the premiere. This will go a long way toward the promotion of the film."

Ryan just made some suggestions, and he was not good at specific work. After a brief discussion with Spielberg on other aspects of the movie, he said goodbye from Universal Studios.

It was March. After careful preparation, Miramax officially started filming in the Cayman Islands. Ryan recommended Brad Pitt to play the leading role - the Michelle lawyer - Nicole rushes to the crew as soon as possible, although she doesn't have many scenes.

When I got home, it was late, and Ryan had a simple dinner. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, changing the TV channel back and forth.

Scott Swift has had contact with Steve Jobs several times, and the other party offered a sky-high price of $80 million, treating them as fat sheep.

However, asking for a price to pay the money locally is a perfect match for all shopping malls. After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides are tug of war at the price of $55 million. Since there is no competitor, Ryan is not in a hurry. The other party should be anxious. Jobs' next computer company is in a worrying situation recently and he needs a lot of funds.

Steve Jobs is now at the lowest point in his life.

Just after changing to CBS, Ryan was attracted by the scenes on the TV, which was a trailer for an action movie.

"In this summer, we will witness the return of superstars, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore Lianyang, Columbia Pictures and Cruise Pictures invested $70 million to create the dazzling super action blockbuster "Flames of the Sky", which will be launched in North America from June 4th to spend the hot summer with you..."

In the picture, the scene of a helicopter crash and a car colliding appeared one after another. The burning flames illuminated half of the night sky. However, in this trailer of less than two minutes, whether it is the charming and sexy Demi Moore or the action scenes of big and small, they are all foils, all to set off the handsome face of Tom Cruise.

Ryan felt a toothache. It seemed that the film was produced for more than a year, right? Sony actually put it in this summer. The time happened to conflict with "Jurassic Park". I really don't know if it should be said that they are lucky or they are bad.

"The Furious Flame" may surpass "Terminator 2", but is there such a possibility? Ryan looked at the director's name on the subtitles and couldn't help but shake his head. Tony Scott is an excellent director, but he is more than one level away from James Cameron and Stephen Spielberg in the production of commercial films.

After thinking for a while, Ryan dialed Pie? Jinsli's phone number. The ring-ring sound rang for a long time before Ryan heard the call there. Who knew that the sound of Jinsli was not Jinsli's voice coming first.

"It's so annoying. Why did you call at this time? Didn't you tell me to turn off the phone?" A man's complaint came over.

"Sorry, Ryan..."

Listening to Jinsli's voice, Ryan became a little enlightened. It seemed that he had interrupted someone's good deeds. It was a sin.

"That...Pate, if you're busy, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter."

Ryan tried his best to ask the questions in his heart in short language, and after getting the answer provided by Kingsley, he quickly hung up the phone.

It is not easy to be a strong woman! Ryan is very moved. As far as he knows, Python Jinsley has parted ways with her three boyfriends since 1990. It seems that if she continues to be busy with this one, it may not last long.

However, he got the answer he wanted on the phone just now, and Sony Columbia has indeed established a very close cooperative relationship with Cruise Pictures under Tom Cruise.

To be honest, his appearance in Hollywood has brought a lot of changes to major film companies. For example, Sony Columbia lost the distribution rights of movies such as "Terminator 2", which is more difficult than in the same period in previous lives. If you continue like this, you may not be as bankrupt as United States one day.

Its Oriental Organisers are eager to change the status quo and adjust the management of the film company. It is said that there are several more legions among the executive directors, and the project "Flames of the Sky" is dominated by them.

Moreover, the movie has been in the promotion for quite a long time, but I just didn't notice it.

However, do these guys know how to play in the North American entertainment market? Sony has been acquiring Columbia Pictures for so many years and is still paying tuition fees. Could it be that those who really regard this place as their domestic entertainment industry and can let them make trouble?

Ryan has heard that after Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, he was dissatisfied with the current situation where there were more Americans than Japanese in the film company's management. Columbia Pictures' poor performance in recent years just gave them a reason to make adjustments.

Although Tom Cruise's reputation has become worse and worse in the past two years, he still has a considerable box office appeal, and Sony has enough capital. It seems that the two sides hit it off.

If Sony Columbia had dragged Tom Cruise into the pit and couldn't get out, Ryan would still be happy to see it, even though these guys should have wanted to divide a big piece of cake from the North American entertainment market.

In addition, Tom Cruise not only served as the starring actor, according to Kingsley, Cruise Films invested more than 15 million US dollars in it, and he himself served as the producer, with considerable voice in the film.

Originally, Ryan had no good means to deal with Tom Cruise. In the plan, he also wanted to wait until he became an adult and his foundation was solid before he could find a way to start.

Five million dollars is not a small number. If the other party loses all his money, it will hurt, right? If Tom Cruise doesn't make money or even lose money, Ryan will naturally be very happy.

If it were another movie, Ryan might be worried about it. This is "Jurassic Performance"! A super big production that both young and old have fought together. Not to mention this "Flames of the Sky" that I had never heard of in my previous life, even if "Terminator 2" encounters it, James Cameron will retreat.

Ryan just watched the sample in the afternoon. Due to the more sufficient funds, the several special effects clips that have been completed are slightly better than their previous lives. This movie has a large number of book fans as the foundation, and in terms of distribution channels, Universal Pictures has more advantages than outsiders like Sony.

The market share of North American movies is there. If one of the movies released during the same period sells, the box office of other movies will naturally be affected. As long as "Jurassic Park" can show the momentum of its previous life, it can almost crush R-level action movies in this era.

If you want to make a big movie, you have to increase your publicity efforts. It seems that you should cooperate with the crew's publicity plan.
