Chapter 640: Their Respective Careers

"You promised him?"

Hearing Ryan's question, Charlize shook his head directly, "No, I refused."

She continued, "I think 9/11 is a scar that will never be erased in the United States. We should choose to forget it, rather than open it up again bloody and present the pain in front of everyone."

"Honey……"

Pulling Charlize's hand, Ryan kissed lightly on the back of his hand, "You're getting smarter."

"so……"

With those golden eyebrows raised high, Charlize glared and said, "You think I used to be a fool?"

"How could that be." Ryan said directly without even thinking about it, "I think you are the smartest person in the whole of Africa."

"It's almost there."

She shrugged gracefully, as happy as the African savannah welcoming the rain brought by the monsoon, but asked with a little doubt, "If that's the case, why did Oliver Stone choose such a highly controversial subject? "

"Dear, don't you forget that this is his usual style." Ryan made a reminder gesture to Charlize, "From "Assassination of Kennedy" to "Born to Kill," his films caused less controversy each time ?"

"It seems..." Charlize recalled, "It is true."

"Only when there is controversy can there be a topic, and when there is a topic, it can attract attention."

Having been in Hollywood for so many years, Ryan knows that there are such a group of people who like to use controversial themes the most, "but controversy sometimes makes a movie, and sometimes it ruins a movie."

"What about..."Alexander the Great"?" Charlize asked after looking around.

"I didn't attend the Warner Bros. audition, so I don't know the specifics, but..." Ryan said in a voice that only they could hear, "If such an epic masterpiece introduces some controversial plots, even If these plots are too sensitive or stark. The movie…”

Having said that, he shook his head.

In this era, plots such as making a base, loving a mother, and bisexuality are almost courting death. This is not a niche literary film, but a commercial film aimed at the mainstream market, as well as rhythm and narrative techniques.

There were serious problems with that movie in the previous life.

If this movie in this life is like the previous life, the box-office word-of-mouth failure is an inevitable result.

Will there be a change in Oliver Stone's style of shooting? No need to think about the answer, of course not.

And Warner Bros. moved the film from an already competitive December schedule to a relatively less stressful October. It also shows that there is not enough confidence in the film internally.

At the end of the party, Ryan bid farewell to the organizer, and on the way out of the banquet hall, he also met the two leading actors in "Alexander the Great".

"I've been looking forward to working with Disney."

Angelina Jolie took her new love, Fang Kilmer, and said to Ryan, "Ryan, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome." Ryan nodded to her, "There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future."

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is still in preparation, and it is not far from the start. At that time, some interesting things may happen, and the female partners around Fang Kimer and Brad Pitt will be replaced, right?

Although the impression of Angelina Jolie is not very good, as long as she can create value for herself, Ryan doesn't mind Disney working with her.

And Fang? Kilmer. The former Batman was Marvel's first choice for Tony Stark, and later, with Ryan's intervention, was replaced by Robert Downey Jr.

With just a few simple words, Ryan left the banquet hall with Charlize. Take the elevator back to the private room on the top floor of the hotel.

"Feeling a bit tired."

Charlize kicked off her high heels and sat crooked on the sofa. Ryan hung his coat on the hanger. asked, "Honey, would you like something to drink?"

"No need." Charlize shook her head, as lazy as a Persian cat, she stretched her arms towards Ryan, "Would you take me back to the room to rest?"

"Happy to serve"

After striding over, Ryan picked up the beautiful diamond, entered the bedroom, and put her on the soft goose down duvet, "I'll take a shower first..."

"Don't..." After Charlize interrupted, he wrapped his arms around his waist, "Lie here with me, okay?"

"certainly."

Ryan kicked off his shoes and took Charlize, who was still wearing a red evening dress, into his arms, "Okay, I'll take a shower when you fall asleep."

"Ryan..." Charlize suddenly looked up at him, biting his lip lightly before saying anything, Ryan couldn't help kissing her smooth and white forehead and asked, "What's the matter? Just tell me , Charlie."

"I want to turn the focus of my career to fashion in the future." Charlize seems to have made up his mind.

"You know, Charlie." Ryan picked up her face and said seriously, "No matter what the decision is, I will support you."

"Really?" Charlize rolled over and rode on his lap, pinching his hips to find the exact spot, squeezing slowly, and said in a joking tone, "What if I want to leave you?"

Ryan knew that this was just a joke, so he deliberately pulled his face down, "I'll tie you up and torture you with the cruelest punishment!"

"Oh, what is the punishment?" Charlize's hand reached under the red evening dress, and the smile on his face gradually turned into excitement, "Honey, tell me quickly, how are you going to torture me..."

At this moment, no words can be more direct and powerful than actions. Ryan rolled over and pressed her down, and in just a few pulls, a luxurious Dior evening dress became a rag on the carpet. In the film, Charlize shouted excitedly to meet the long-awaited punishment.

In the following days, Ryan accompanied Charlize to the catwalks of other brands and some well-known designers, and then returned to Los Angeles, while the South African diamonds stayed in New York. With assistance, continue to run for your own fashion career.

No matter in the past or this life, they are outstanding women, Ryan never let them become his vassals. He supports the careers they want to carry out. Even Nicole is already one of the richest women in the United States. .

Nicole is different from Charlize. She prefers the glamorous and luxurious life in Hollywood. While continuing to act in movies, she is gradually transforming into a producer. She has also invested in a few good movies in recent years. Unfortunately, her vision can only be Generally speaking, although I didn't lose much money, I basically didn't make any money.

Her latest investment is "Paddington Bear" with Miramax. This film has completed most of the post-production, and the only work still in progress is commissioning Pixar Studio to deal with the bear's hair. The problem, now in the whole of Hollywood, Pixar has an absolute advantage in this regard.

Some time ago, I don't know if it was good luck, or Nicole's character that she had accumulated for a long time finally broke out. She even took a fancy to the graphic novel "Three Hundred Spartans", and personally persuaded her that she did not want to videoize the work. The original author of the deal, Frank Miller, got the film adaptation rights for this work.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's all just a question of money.

Just like in a previous life, a certain director borrowed so much of his creativity and made it into a dark version of Batman. Frank Miller didn't stand up and say anything. Instead, he sang praises for the movie. Warner paid enough. cost?

When it comes to comics, Frank Miller is indeed a genius, he has worked for Marvel and comics, participated in the creation of Spider-Man, Daredevil, Black Widow, Wolverine, Superman and Batman, etc. Works like "Sin City" and "Three Hundred Spartans" came out.

"Honey……"

Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, Ryan flipped through the graphic novel and asked Nicole curiously, "How did you like this work?"

"When I went to see Harvey some time ago."

Nicole put a cup of black tea on the table in front of Ryan, "I heard him talking about Miramax making Sin City, so I looked for Frank Miller's work and thought it The graphic novel was pretty good, so I bought the film rights.”

"Have you figured out how to make it?" Ryan put down the comic and said seriously.

This film is a film with a strong personal style. If it is shot in an ordinary way, in today's environment where epic movies are being neglected one after another, failure may far outweigh success.

"Try to restore the original style as much as possible." Nicole clearly thought about it. "It's like "Sin City" in the making."

"I also considered..." Nicole held the black tea and frowned, "Harvey said that Frank Miller would be the director of one of the stories in "Sin City", I think if possible, let him I directed the film."

The original author must be the person who knows his work best, but a genius cartoonist may not be a good director. Ryan thought for a while, "Dear, if you don't mind, I can recommend a director for you."

"Please say it." Nicole drank the lipstick tea and said with a smile, "If it suits me, I will pay you one hundred dollars as a referral fee."

"Have you seen the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" last year?" Ryan can remember the director, not only the relationship of this film with a strong personal style, but also the other party who later became the director of the Justice League series, "The director of the film The director is Zack Snyder, a new guy, but he's done a great job with color."

"Okay." Nicole put away her joking tone and nodded seriously, "Although I haven't seen the movie, the person you recommended must have something unique to come here, and I will let someone contact him as soon as possible." (To be continued..) ()
