Chapter 80 The first payment

After the movie ended, Ryan greeted Warner people, pulled Nicole up and ran away quickly. The reporters went to the press conference. If they didn't take this opportunity to leave, would they have to wait for them to pursue and intercept?

He notified Warner in advance and would not attend the press conference after the premiere. He is not a fool and will automatically run to act as a target for media fire. Besides, there are two superstars, Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, and news gossip is enough for them to write.

The reporters and paparazzi were indeed concentrated in the press room of the theater. They had long had a tacit understanding and must re-record the conflict in front of Ryan Jenkins and trigger this topic again. If it could inspire him to fire at Tom Cruise, it would be wonderful.

However, when the people in the crew appeared, they realized that the little guy actually... had escaped!

Everyone knows that Ryan Jenkins is not very old and is not easy to deal with at all, but it is extremely rare to retreat without fighting.

After the Thanksgiving holiday, Ryan carried his schoolbag and walked back into the campus, focusing most of his energy on the script of "Killer Leon". As for the reporter who once again sieges him because of the release of "Body Guard", he turned a blind eye to him. Anyway, he is now on two points and one line. He almost never goes anywhere except home and school. Those guys have no choice but to do anything to him.

"The Bodyguard" has novel materials and successfully combined thrilling, action, gunfight, entertainment and romantic tenderness, giving the audience a masterpiece built on clichés and fascinating!"

"This movie does not have many intense scenes, but uses a lot of space to describe the most beautiful feelings of human beings. The word "love" runs through the whole process, from the initial depression to the final violent outbreak, venting this emotion to the fullest. It has to be said that this is an extremely excellent love film."

"Compared with the somewhat clichéd plot of the film, we should pay more attention to the soundtrack and the songs interspersed in it. There is no doubt that "I.will.always.love.you" sung by Whitney Houston at the end of the film will become a classic!"

"Kevin Costner vividly interprets a tough guy who is calm on the outside but actually passionate and sincere on the inside, strong and brave but warm. Whitney Houston, a music superstar who debuted on the big screen, performed openly and freely, and interprets a stubborn, secular, arrogant but kind-hearted female singer who longs for love to the fullest."

When the new movie is released, there are naturally various comments. Amid the complex discussions, the movie has spent the first week.

In fact, as many comments say, this movie is indeed cliché, but cliché is touching. Whether Kevin Costner or Whitney Houston, they are now well-deserved superstars and have strong appeal.

Moreover, audiences across the United States have long been curious about this movie. Even though they heard some intermittent plots from the news videos, they did not prevent them from buying tickets in a crazy way. They witnessed what the miracle Ryan Jenkins created in just over three hours would look like.

As it turns out, topics, hype and publicity, and the golden signs gradually erected by Ryan Jenkins have a huge impact on the box office numbers of a movie.

Four days after the first week, the movie landed at the top of the North American box office rankings, winning a box office figure of up to $41.15 million. After the second week, the box office fluctuated a certain amount, but it still won $29.55 million. So far, the movie not only recovered its costs, but also generated profits.

On the other hand, the impact caused by "Body Guard" is no less than the box office figures. When the movie was released, the original soundtrack was released in advance. The single "I.will.always.Love.you" not only became the champion single of Billboard after the first week, but also broke the single weekly sales record, selling more than 632,000 copies.

Whether it is box office, single, or original album, there are copies of Ryan and Jenkins Pictures in the division.

Of course, if someone likes it, someone will object. For example, a film critic in the Hollywood Reporter wrote this, "This is a movie without any creativity, clichéd plot, and artificial performance. Except for a few songs that are pretty good, it is useless. Whitney Houston should go back and continue singing, rather than starting a new career on the big screen! Especially Ryan Jenkins, if his scripts are of this level, that genius name is a bit overstatement!"

Unfortunately, his views cannot represent the views of the film company. The script written by Ryan has been successful in succession. If it is once or twice or accidental, then three or four times? Even the industry insiders who are slow to react understand that Ryan Jenkins has extremely keen intuition about the appetite of most viewers.

So far, except for the amazing "The Sixth Sense", the other four scripts he has created have borrowed scenes that Hollywood has long used to use, applied to new ideas, and sold them to the audience again in the form of new bottles of old wine, but they are extremely popular in the market.

There is no doubt that the reason why Ryan Jenkins is so productive in the script is that this way of taking tricks has helped him a lot. However, everyone knows that he is taking tricks, but it cannot deny that whether it is the nonsense in "Home Imposses", the warmth of "Seattle Night", or the bloody love of "Body Guard", they are covered with a new coat on the cliché.

And this outerwear is creativity. Creativity is sometimes cheap, but creativity that can bring benefits is the most valuable thing.

The media's interpretation of "Body Guard" continues. Tombe will inevitably be pulled to the public by reporters and paparazzi and take a few walks. The big star was very straightforward. After the movie was released, he went directly to a private island in the Caribbean for vacation.

"What deserves the most praise for this film is Ryan's bold creativity, placing a sincere and passionate love on two people of different skin colors and showing it in the film. This innovation represents the progress of America!" - "Vanity Fair"

Ryan is not sure whether the screenwriter and director of this movie had such intentions in his previous life, but he definitely has no such meaning. Perhaps the word "心心" has not appeared yet, but the media and the public's interpretation of many movies undoubtedly show this word.

Is America progressing? No matter how much does it matter!

Besides, this kind of thing is just a talk, the status of black people... Well, this kind of problem can never be solved, even if it is still in the entertainment industry, there is no need to mention Michael Jackson's experience. Just talk about Whitney Houston. If it weren't for the skin color issue, she would have been compared with Madonna Sicconi.

On the other hand, the big sale of the original soundtrack of "Body Guard" forced the entire entertainment industry to re-evaluate Ryan's value. They all knew that he could write songs, but the songs he created were so outstanding and so popular, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Ryan Jenkins' musical talent and literacy are no worse than other aspects, and even better. Think about the song "he" which is still among the top ten Billboards, "I.will.always.love.you" which is in the championship position and "I.have.nothing" which is in the fourth place!"

The article comes from Rolling Stone magazine, and they also interviewed others. "Whitney Houston admitted in an interview that she accepted many suggestions from Ryan when she interpreted the song. She admitted that the ten songs Ryan created were as brilliant and precious as the stars in the night sky!"

Although Ryan's eight original songs are not as amazing as the two plagiarized, they are still outstanding enough. Two of them even entered the Billboard rankings, so that the sales of the original soundtrack can be imagined.

On Christmas Eve, the North American box office of "Body Guard" exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the original soundtrack sold over 2 million copies. But Ryan knew that the sales of the disc was just the beginning. In his previous life, this album created a sales record for female singers.

Jenkins Pictures also received its first revenue since its establishment. After the first box office split, the company's account was nearly 10 million US dollars, which is inconspicuous compared to the box office figures. However, they only accounted for a quarter of the movie's investment, which is 6 million US dollars. The movie is still far from the bottom, and there will be overseas box office and various derivatives sharing in the future.

Ryan and Nicole also came to the company office in Burbank for the first time, a separate two-story building with a total of up to 300 square feet. The formal staff has been expanded to nine. The person in charge is no longer Scott Swift, but instead hired a professional interpreter and producer from Australia named Julius Stewart, who is a standard strong woman.

Jinsley and Scott were waiting in the office early. They chatted for a while and felt a little moved. When did the movie become a profitable industry? The investment he took out half a year ago was almost doubled. With the release of "Body Guard" in overseas regions, the profits may more than double.

Now even Scott is considered a person in the circle, so they naturally know that there will be such high profits in movies. Otherwise, those arms dealers would also push the army to change their clothes and make movies directly.

This happens now because the boy who just walked in, he was like he had been kissed by God, and he could always create works that were constantly selling well.

"Hi, Ryan, and Nicole."

The four of them had no politeness to say, so they simply said hello and talked about some things about the company.

Ryan is a layman for these things and will not speak easily unless it is involved in movies. Fortunately, Nicole knows his flaws and uses his spare time to learn a lot of financial knowledge. After all, there are some things that are not a big mistake.

Ryan is not yet an adult, and according to the law, he cannot directly hold shares in the company. As the guardian, Nicole Kidman became the custodian, so she naturally had to pay attention to the family business for him.

"Nicole, you have an invitation!" Jinsley handed over a simple script.

"What crew?" Ryan was very curious. Under Nicole's stare, he picked up the script and looked through a few pages. The veins on his forehead were leaping straight, "Instinct?"
