Chapter 76: Plagiarized Songs

Ryan soon received a photo from Natalie. Girls usually enter puberty earlier than boys. She looks much older and has a hint of Matilda's style.

That's right! Ryan prepared for her: "Leon, Killer" or "This Killer is Not Too Cold". Even though Natalie didn't like this role at all when she grew up, how could Ryan make the number one loli in film history disappear?

Well, maybe the number one Lolita has passed, after all, "Lolita" and "Taxi Driver" by Judy Foster are the first, but no one can deny it. Matilda is a classic and is also a representative work of Natalie's girlhood.

Of course, Ryan is not a Frenchman with erotic thoughts. He will make some modifications to the plot. This is inevitable. You should know that although this movie in his previous life made Luc Besson knock on the door to Hollywood, it was not favored by mainstream society, and even caused great criticism, which directly affected the movie's box office in North America.

Yes, this movie is very popular in the Far East, especially in Europe, and has brought a lot of praise, but don't forget that whether it is Ryan or Natalie, they will be in Hollywood in the future. They are not Frenchmen, and they can go back to Europe if they really can't pat their butts.

Ryan has a huge influence now. If he copied the directorial edited version of Luc Besson, the plot of a deformed love affair in the plot, and the middle-aged killer and a little girl sleeping in the same bed, the saliva of conservatives alone can sink him to the bottom.

Think about it, what kind of controversy will a person who is called a role model of teenagers in the United States by the media?

Don’t say that you do whatever you want. No matter in that country or region, following the values ​​of mainstream society is a prerequisite for success.

Ryan intends to portray Matilda and Leon as a complex feeling mixed with gratitude, fatherly love, friendship and admiration. In which some unnecessary plots are replaced, so that the theme of the movie will not change greatly and will reduce the controversy after the release.

Ryan plans to write it out as soon as possible. Because time is tight, Jinsley is negotiating with Universal Pictures and may reach a consensus in the near future. In that case, he must put the adaptation of the script of "Jurassic Park" on the agenda.

Speaking of which, the negotiations are not complicated. Jenkins Pictures, represented by Kingsley, jointly invested in the film, and each invested a certain proportion of the funds. The copyright and income were divided according to the investment amount.

Universal Pictures is still considering that Ryan asked Kingsley to throw out new conditions. In addition to fully authorizing Universal Pictures, if the movie's North American box office does not meet the expected $200 million, Jenkins Pictures will automatically reduce its revenue by 15%.

Ron Mayer is still insisting that there is no progress in the negotiations. The reason is very simple. When Terminator 2 was down in North America, the box office was as high as more than 273 million US dollars. Now Hollywood knows that the name Ryan Jenkins means a huge box office appeal.

In particular, since its publication in 1986, "Jurassic Park" has been ranked first in the U.S. bestseller list dozens of times. I don't know how many book fans have been cultivated in recent years. By then, they alone may be able to push the North American box office to the height of $200 million.

What's more, during the negotiations, Ryan also proposed a prerequisite - Spielberg must be in charge of the film's guide.

They had already contacted Jewish directors, and the other party refused without hesitation. In fact, many people in Hollywood know that he was running for "Schindler's List" and even went to Poland several times.

Ryan knew more or less about the negotiation process, but he didn't want to intervene too much. As long as Universal Pictures used the ultimate skill of his previous life, Spielberg could only surrender. Anyway, Universal Pictures was the one who offended people, not him.

What kind of profits can be obtained in "Jurassic Park"? It is completely predictable. Ryan only thinks about the box office of nearly $1 billion in his previous life, and the out-of-sale dinosaur dolls and cultural shirts can drip. As long as he has this funding, he can buy what he wants to buy the most.

Generally speaking, boys will enter the voice change period between the ages of 12 and 15, with a short duration of 6 months or 2 years. This era is not like a new century with hormones rampant. Many boys' voice change periods are advanced to 11 or even in their early 10 years old. It is rare for Ryan to start voice change in his early 11 years old.

Perhaps it was God's favor. After November, Ryan finally bid farewell to the duck's voice. The immaturity in his voice completely disappeared. Thanks to professional guidance, he has very prominent characteristics in terms of tone, tone and range, and the songs he sang have unique flavor.

This does not mean that Ryan has no worries since then. The vocal change period of singing is as long as two or even three years. Even if his voice is close to adults, there will be occasional instability in singing. This is a period of consolidation, and vocal cord protection must still be paid special attention to.

The only benefit is that as long as he maintains a certain degree, he can sing normally.

The Hollywood record company invited Ryan to the right time they got the news, and they had been looking forward to this moment for too long.

In the past six months, they have not done anything. After negotiating a record contract with Jinsley, they brought back the scores of nine songs and began to proofread the accompaniment according to the suggestions written by Ryan. In addition, they formed a five-person accompaniment band.

The accompaniment produced was sent to Ryan before and has been modified many times. It can be said that Hollywood record companies are ready for everything, and they only owe Ryan himself this east wind.

In the music practice room, John Burns patted his palms and everyone calmed down. Ryan waved to the band, and the accompaniment of "because.of.you" sounded.

"I don't want to make the mistakes I've made..."

The magnetic singing is loud and loud, thick and powerful, with a faint rebelliousness, giving people an indescribable charm. Although there are still small flaws in the singing style because the sound is not completely stable, it does not prevent everyone from raising applause like crazy after the song falls.

"What do you think?" CEO Reed asked, leaning closer to music director John Burns.

"Absolute genius! Those kids in Mickey Mouse Club are not even as good as him!" Burns nodded heavily, "The record can be put on the agenda."

In fact, Ryan has thought many times during this period that his adolescence has come earlier than his peers. As his height rises sharply, it will be difficult to find a suitable role. Even he cannot change this awkward period. Since that is the case, then use music to fill the gaps during this period.

In addition to the weird single "he" released, many of the other songs he prepared were plagiarized. "Because.of.you" was reorganized and changed by him, so he naturally took them over.

In addition, there are "lemon.Tree" from Fool Garden, "the.show" by Johnson & Johnson, "feeling.good" by the British Little Boys version, "I.Believe.I.can.fly" by the theme song of "I.Believe.I.can.fly" by the Sky Dunk, and "It's.my.life".

This led to seven songs, and the other three were made of their own original works. One was the inspirational song sung in New Mexico. After Ryan tried his best to complete it, he gave the same inspirational name "Climbing", and the other two were called "Under the Sun" and "After the Wind Blowing".

Originally, he was considering whether he would come to the English version of "I Don't Want to Say I'm a Chicken". Later, he thought about it and found that the bird's cold has not yet appeared, and this song is more suitable for singing at the age of Taylor. Forget it.

As for the songs he plagiarized, they are different. No matter how good his memory is, he is just a person, not a computer. Besides, he was not as fanatical about music in his previous life as movies. There are some places he naturally can't remember, so he needs to supplement it himself.

Not only that, he has adjusted some songs in the arrangement, the most typical one is "I.Believe.I.can.fly". This was the typical black R&B in his previous life. He didn't want to get involved with those people, and changed the rhythm more quickly, reducing the elements of black music in it. He doesn't sing like the original one who was holding a mournful voice.

There is also "It's.my.life". Yes, this is the theme song of CS that was rumored online in the previous life. Of course, this is just a rumor. It has little to do with CS. Just like "The.Dawn" was rumored to be the overture of the undead, they are just excellent works of European and American bands.

Ryan did not use the rock version, but used the lyrical version. The reason is very simple. First, the rock version can be sung on a specific occasion, and second, he must protect his vocal cords.

These songs are either inspirational, playful, or reflect personal moods, and basically have nothing to do with love. Ryan is not a real Westerner after all, and it is difficult for him to accept singing lingering love songs at this age.

"Ryan, we plan to finish the recording as soon as possible, and the record can be launched during the New Year holiday." The speaker was CEO Reed.

The people sitting in the small conference room, except Ryan and Jinsley, are all senior executives of Hollywood record companies, and even an executive director of Walt Disney.

"I have no objection."

Ryan thought about the recent schedule. Apart from attending the premiere of "Body Guard" on Thanksgiving, there was no other work notice. He could take some time to record the songs so that he could be the boss before the record was released.

"Okay, we'll coordinate with Pat."

It seemed that I was going to take leave again. Ryan sighed. It seemed that this semester would still be an incomplete semester.

Releasing records is much more troublesome than Ryan imagined. He not only has to participate in recordings, but also practice with the band, ensuring the minimum tacit understanding.

There were several times when he wanted to make suggestions, just use the accompaniment.

However, although I had limited understanding of the European and American music scenes in my previous life, I also knew that every first-line singer has his own band, which should be a good thing, right?

Hollywood record companies are far more anxious than Ryan imagined. They have long seen the excellence of the songs and are counting on this record to get a share of the pop market.

You know, the sales of the single "he" has now exceeded 900,000, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to reach one platinum this year. They have great confidence in Ryan.
