Chapter 146 Hype and Self Hype

Just as Natalie was sitting in the classroom, watching the New York Post that the reporter gave her, Ryan was also looking at the same newspaper in the hotel suite. His face was calm, but he had a slightly sarcastic smile.

"Shamely unfamiliar love!"

This is the title of the article. It is very shocking to directly determine the surname of the movie, but Ryan just regarded it as a joke... Well, every issue of the New York Post is actually a complete collection of American jokes.

"... Although the movie is concealed, it is obviously praising the love between the killer and the underage girl. This is a very immoral practice. Such a movie should be restricted. In addition, there are several scenes of minors holding guns in the movie. I don't know how MPAA passed the review. Such a movie should be rated NC-17, rather than being placed in the cinema to make people watch it in a high position. This is a challenge to the American value orientation!"

"We don't understand why Ryan Jenkins, a teenage genius, a Hollywood gold medal screenwriter and a famous child star, chose such a sensitive subject. Could it be that the achievements made in the past have already lost his mind, or does he not understand what social responsibility is? No matter how outstanding the results this movie has achieved, it is a shame!"

There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, and the tabloids will naturally look at this movie with the worst eyes. The New York Post has always liked to sing opposites. It is strange that it does not attack "Killer Leon" and does not attack itself.

Ryan was wondering why the New York Post has been so quiet for two days, and it turned out that he was a little slower to react.

Now it's blue, bright, the air is fresh, the tabloids are starting to spray feces, and the world is back to normal.

Anyway, I've been used to it, and Ryan won't care. Now he has neither the ability nor the energy to care about these trivial matters, so just keep a account in his mind.

As for restricting this movie or removing it in advance, the New York Post can only clamor. If there is not enough excuse, even the federal government cannot remove the movie at will.

It may not be too difficult to remove an unpopular movie, but to force a popular movie to remove it requires a reason to convince people.

Behind the popular movies, it involves not only the interests of the producers, but also the interests of theaters and advertisers. It represents more than just the box office.

As long as we can benefit from "Killer Leon", the media group that controls theaters will not pay attention to those clamors. In the eyes of capitalists, money is the cutest thing.

Ryan took the first week box office statistics that Harvey Weinstein sent him. Looking at the numbers above, he couldn't help laughing, and he didn't waste his own modifications.

On the first three days of the week, more than 2,500 theaters were released, with a box office of 30.44 million US dollars in North America, firmly ranking as the champion of the weekly box office rankings. Not only did it surpass the total box office in North America in its previous life, it even caught up with the global box office.

"Killer Leon" is indeed a classic, but it was not very successful in North America in his previous life. The investment of about 20 million yuan only returned a North American box office of less than 20 million US dollars. Fortunately, this theme is very popular in Europe and the Far East, so it finally won more than 45 million US dollars in global box office.

Now that it has its own joining, the fate of this movie has been changed.

Of course, it's not just the movie. As far as Ryan knows, Miramax has long contacted the manufacturers, the Perpetual Green, the Bear Doll, the Dome, Matilda's costume, the classic pendant, etc., which have all been developed into peripheral products.

Harvey Weinstein even contacted Marvel and planned to publish a comic version of "Killer Leon". Unfortunately, Marvel is troubled now and has no energy to take on this business.

Just like other popular movies, this is a whole chain of interests that moves the whole body.

Ryan is very clear that he is a minor and has limited power. He can be paid attention to and taken invisible care by the giants, which is nothing more than providing them with huge benefits. He has been working hard to tie the alliance to the same interest tank.

However, seeing the following news, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head. It turns out that there is no simpler thing for women who became famous in their previous life.

"Before, the reporter got the news that Miss Liv Taylor, who participated in the audition for "Killer Leon", claimed that the huge audition was just a hype and there was serious injustice. She would have won the role of Matilda, but she did not expect that it was Miss Natalie Portman in the end, and there was a secret operation..."

"The following is the original words of Miss Liv Taylor - On the day of the second audition, I was dining in an Italian restaurant, and I saw Ryan Jenkins and Natalie Portman. They sat together and talked and laughed. It was obviously not what I met just now, but they should be old friends. Natalie's mother and Ryan's agent were sitting together. They were celebrating. I felt very disappointed at that time. I thought it was a fair audition, but I didn't expect it to be such a result..."

"Ryan Jenkins is known as the role model of teenagers in the United States. She was also my idol before, but this practice is very disappointing. This audition is just a show he used to hype. I regret participating in such an audition. Natalie Portman should not receive so much praise. She got this role with disgraceful means. The actors' union should investigate this..."

"I am a model. I had the opportunity to become an actor, but now I can only play MV. This is unfair and unfair to all the girls who audition..."

Is it really a whistle? It's just a self-hype. Ryan simply threw the newspaper aside. As his reputation became more and more popular, there will be no less ride-hailing things in the future, just ignore them.

Is the Elf Princess really innocent? That's just the image in the movie. Perhaps others don't know it now, but Ryan knows that this girl has lived in such a complex circle since she was a child, and her mind is simple?

Of course, her hype is just hype, as long as she doesn't touch the bottom line, Ryan will only treat it as if she is indifferent.

However, he didn't care, but someone cared. At noon, Natalie called.

"Ryan, how could that Liv Taylor say that? I greeted her during the audition. You should know that I got this role based on my own strength!"

"Hey, Nat, okay?" Ryan persuaded.

"I really can't afford so many praises for my performance? Or is her acting better than mine..."

Acting? Ryan rolled his eyes, Liv Taylor's acting... Well, the weather is very sunny today.

"I got the role of Matilda in disgrace. What kind of method did I use? We are good friends, but the person who decided on this role was Luc Besson." Natalie was completely venting her dissatisfaction. "Ryan, do you want me to do something? She is also criticizing you."

"No, Nat." Ryan said after thinking about it, "Do you remember the self-hype thing I mentioned to you?"

"You mean..."

"Yes, Nat, please ignore it. Also, do you think her opinion is important, or the opinions of mainstream media and well-known film critics are important. They almost praised you all. Don't forget that even God cannot win everyone's like."

"I get it." Natalie was very smart and quickly returned to her calm.

I have to say that Ryan has a great influence on her. The little girl's heart is much stronger than her previous life. After a moment of anger, she can then restore her calm mind.

"Yes, there's one thing, I...I don't know who to say to." Natalie seemed a little hard to say.

"What happened, Nat?" Ryan frowned, "Is it paparazzi who made things difficult for you?"

It probably won't be possible. Both myself and Jinsli have taught her a lot in this regard, and Natalie has long been mentally prepared.

"After class just now, I found a letter in the locker."

"Letter?" Ryan tightened his microphone.

"Yes, a man wrote a letter full of dirty language, saying that I miss your tender body, I want..."

Although Natalie didn't continue to say it, Ryan still guessed the following content, and the person who wrote the letter was probably a lolita controller.

"What should I do?" Natalie was still a child after all.

Ryan scratched his head. He remembered it very clearly that Natalie had such an experience in her previous life, but now this person is very likely to be someone from her school. It would be easy to just mess with him. If it were John Hinckley like that...

After slapping his head, Ryan secretly scolded himself for starting to think about things again, and quickly said, "Let's do this, Nat, you can take a leave for the time being. Anyway, I will go to France to participate in the promotion in a few days."

"Oh well."

After hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed. The circle was full of troubles. It was not a simple matter to protect the people he wanted to protect. Maybe more actions should be taken.

Money and time! Ryan covered his forehead. This is what he needs most. Money represents strong capital in this country. Time can help him grow up with sincerity!

Tabby hype is sometimes a bad thing, and sometimes a good thing. It can keep the movies talking enough topics and popularity, constantly attracting people's attention, and thus boost the box office.

Even some hype is Miramax behind the scenes. The entertainment industry has developed to this point, and the publicity has become more and more important, and sometimes it can be equated with box office numbers.

Before going to France, the crew also accepted an interview with NBC TV. When the host asked, Ryan did not hesitate.

"Natalie is my best friend. We have known each other since 1989. Although she is in New York and I am in Los Angeles, it has not affected our relationship. In fact, we will communicate at least once a week, more than twice a week."
