Chapter Eighty-Seven Horror Movie Mode
Hollywood has developed into today is no longer a regional name, but a term for the American entertainment circle and a synonym for a large industrial chain.
In the 21st century, the entertainment industry will become the second largest industry in the United States, next only to manufacturing.
Who are the people at the very core and top of this circle or industry chain? Jews!
To a certain extent, the Jews have profoundly influenced the pulse of this country. Although the descendants of Anglo-Saxons have established many anti-Semitic organizations, they find it difficult to curb the expansion of the Jews.
As he grew older and his features matured, Ryan developed some characteristics of Jewish descendants, whether he acknowledged it or not. Anti-Semitic organizations would treat him as a Jew anyway, so he needed his own allies.
Taking advantage of this body's advantages, getting closer to the Jewish people, for him, there is no harm, his future is in the entertainment circle, which can make the road ahead much smoother.
He admitted that what he said to Spielberg had a lot of acting, but there were also a few true words. In his eyes, the German Nazis and Hitler were not much different from the little devils. Moreover, due to the relationship with the previous life, he was particularly sensitive to the term "massacre". As soon as he saw "Schindler's List", he would think of the city where he lived in his previous life, and think of the air raid sirens that could be heard every May 3rd.
Just... Ryan shook his head, too lazy to say anything. Those divine dramas and films from his past life had problematic stances to begin with, even his own people thought they were unconvincing, wanting to gain recognition from the international community...
"Ryan, what are you thinking?" Nikki glanced at the golden-haired girl sitting in the passenger seat and asked in a low voice.
"Paving the way for our future." Ryan also leaned into Nicole's ear, his lips barely brushing against her white earlobe, and in an instant, both of them were a little dazed.
Fortunately, they still remembered that Jin Silie and George were also in the car, so they quickly returned to normal. Ryan explained a few more sentences, and Nicole, being an insider herself and a clever person, naturally understood what was going on.
"Darling, you can say that kind of thing to me, but don't mention it to anyone else," Nicole warned softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot."
Reborn until now, the only one who can make him completely trust is Nikki.
The Hollywood Star Globe Restaurant is located at 129 Weiwuli Street, with a blue globe exterior and an interior theme of American movies and TV. Since its opening this year, it has become the first choice for dining among Hollywood celebrities.
This is a restaurant co-invested by the three big stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Secondly, there are very strict rules here, so celebrities don't have to worry about their dining situation being leaked to the tabloids. And thirdly, if you're lucky, your server might just be one of the three big stars.
To be honest, coming here from Universal Studios for a meal isn't the best idea, God only knows what Ron Meyer and Nikki were thinking.
Spielberg and George Lucas didn't come, but Ryan was aware of the anxious mood of Jewish directors, however, his two disciples came.
Whether it's Drew Barrymore or Gwyneth Paltrow, they both come from showbiz families and have been exposed to the importance of socializing in this circle since childhood, especially Drew, who was a master of socializing at a young age.
With Spielberg as a bridge, whether it's Ryan or Drew, it's not good to continue making trouble.
Nikki, Kim Sully and Ron Meyer huddled together talking about something while Ryan sat with Drew and Gwendolyn.
After chatting for a while, Ryan roughly figured out the personalities of these two girls. Drew's style and reputation were not very good, whether now or in the future, but she also had her own bright spots. Her personality was relatively straightforward, and she didn't like to hide her likes and dislikes. Gwendolyn was more silent, with a heavier heart.
Having been in the industry for two generations, Ryan naturally knows how to speak to people and ghosts alike. Moreover, Drew's behavior is the norm for over 90% of female stars in this circle - excessive drinking, ***, one-night stands; all these are nothing out of the ordinary for Hollywood.
He is not a saint, as long as the people around him can keep a clear head.
"Ah, Gwenyth, I recall in 'Hook' that...". Ryan put down his knife and fork, tapped his head, couldn't remember the name of the character, so he said, "You played Hook, didn't you?"
"Yes, a small role." The past's little pepper had a head of beautiful golden hair, and although the person couldn't be said to be very pretty, there was an inexplicable aura about them. "Unlike you, Ryeon, who has already starred in several movies."
The envy in her tone was audible even to the waiter on the side.
"I just got lucky." Ryan said humbly.
"Hey," Drew said suddenly, jerking his chin at him.
"Me?" Ryan asked, pointing at himself.
"I heard you're good at making up stories?"
"It's tolerable!"
Drew suddenly leaned in, "You slammed me that hard, you can't just apologize verbally and be done with it, right, Gwendolyn?"
"This is between you two, don't drag me into it."
"Alright~"
Ryan nodded, anyway this future value is very large, and has a huge network of relationships, besides, this is a win-win situation, "Drew, how do you think it would be if you were being chased by a killer maniac, and what if that guy was also your boyfriend?"
"You'll be chased..."
Drew didn't finish speaking and suddenly reacted, "Isn't this kind of story too common?"
"How many horror movies have you guys seen?" Ryan asked.
"I haven't really watched it, I don't like it very much." Gwendolyn shook her head.
"I've seen some, like 'Feng Jie' and the like." Drew nodded towards the three people discussing something across from them, "Don't tell anyone else, or there will be trouble."
"Alright, this is a secret among the three of us, no one can say it out loud. Of course, I've seen many too." Ryan smiled and continued, "Haven't you guys noticed that American horror movies have developed to the point where, except for a limited few, they've almost all become products on an assembly line? Except for seeing who gets more ketchup splattered on them, there's hardly any spark left."
"Oh!"
The other two came with interest, "Is it a psychological thriller like 'Sixth Sense'?"
Although "The Sixth Sense" is more about family and ethics, most people still regard it as another milestone in horror movies. Since last year, many follow-up works have emerged, but unfortunately, there are few successes and many failures.
"Of course not!" Ryan said with a shake of his finger. "In today's horror movies, there are several situations where anyone who does it will die."
"Go on!"
"Anyone who goes to bed with someone will die, anyone who takes drugs or drinks will die, anyone who says 'I'll be right back' will die, anyone who asks 'who's there?' will die, and anyone who goes alone to investigate a noise will also die!"
"It seems... indeed it is." Drew thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"So..."
Ryan tapped the table lightly, "Nowadays horror movies and thriller have started to be formulaic, why don't we make a horror movie that gathers all these patterns together while also mocking them through the protagonist's dialogue?"
"That's a great idea!"
Drew stared with his eyes and asked, "What's next?"
"This will be a campus youth horror film, and the specific plot is still being conceived." He said this as he looked at Drew, reminding him, "This kind of movie will fix your image, which would be very unfavorable for your future transformation."
"The future?" Drew snorted and waved his hand, "Do you think I can get any worse than this?"
Ryan laughed, indeed, Drew Barrymore in the early 90s was at a low point in her life, having squandered all the money she made from E.T., and with no powerful new works emerging, plus a string of messy scandals, it was pretty bad. However, according to Spielberg, she seemed to have quit drugs and was taking sobriety classes, looking like she wanted to start over again, just like in her past life.
"Alright." Ryan thought for a moment about the plot of Scream, except for some lines related to Instinct, it didn't have much connection with real society, making it a few years in advance shouldn't be a big problem. "I'll start brainstorming as soon as possible, but it might take a very long time."
"Why?" Drew's eyes widened as if to say don't forget this is owed to me.
"Because you're too young." Ryan said gruffly.
"Too small?" Drew puffed out his chest in indignation.
"Damn it!" Ryan cursed in his heart, this was indeed Drew Barrymore's style. "Next month I'll be releasing my first album, need to promote, need to sign, and I still have a script that hasn't been finished, all these things take time!"
"An album?" Drew and Gwyneth were taken aback, only then remembering that the person beside them was about to release their first record in life.
"My god!" Drew covered his forehead, "Are all post-80s generation as perverted as you?"
"I'm just that special one." Ryan quoted a madman from his past life.
"Alright then, Ryan, if you can finish the script for me first..."
Drew suddenly leaned in, lowering his voice and jokingly said, "I'll spend a week with you, whatever... how about it."
"Hmph!"
Drew Barrymore is indeed Drew Barrymore! Ryan directly sprayed the juice in his mouth, without mentioning age issues, and her five-three rough appearance doesn't match his aesthetics at all.
"Drew, you...you're not joking, are you? Rhys is only twelve." Gwendolyn asked in a voice that was audible to only the two of them.
"Twelve years old? What's wrong with being twelve years old? I wasn't a virgin at twelve."
Drew didn't care at all and said it out loud with a big grin, almost making Ryan laugh again. This guy was too invincible.
In fact, Ryan was very clear that in Hollywood, women using their bodies to get what they want is the norm.
Hollywood has no hidden rules, it's been an open rule since the 50s and 60s. Women who want to make a name for themselves but have no connections or opportunities will try every means possible to climb up, even if it means being taken advantage of and then ignored by their abusers.
This situation is not only in the entertainment circle, but also very common in various industries in the United States. The openness of Western girls before marriage is indeed astonishing.
Especially in the entertainment industry, where fame and fortune are intertwined, it's a real dye vat. Although there are many people who keep themselves clean, 99% of female stars don't mind having a one-night stand with someone they like, and if they can get benefits from it, that would be even more wonderful.
In fact, if it weren't for his age, Ryan would have faced all sorts of temptations with his consecutive successful works.
Ryan was clear that if it were an ordinary woman, even if she didn't admit it afterwards, it wouldn't be a big deal. But for a well-known female star, there are some unwritten rules in the industry, and you have to pay the corresponding price for what you get.
