Chapter 108: A Day of House Arrest

  Sitting on the balcony of the villa's second floor, the warm sunshine shone on her body, dispelling the chill she had contracted in Poland without a trace. Ruien twirled the pen in her hand, feeling so comfortable that even her eyes narrowed into a slit. This kind of life was indeed very pleasant.

  No school, no propaganda, no movie shoots, no autograph sessions and album signings. Life is really good.

  Unfortunately, before the Oscars ceremony, he could only stay on the second floor of the villa and was not allowed to go out or even downstairs... Well, in other words, he was under house arrest by Nicole Kidman.

  This is a leftover from the Polish events. When a woman doesn't want to talk sense with you, nothing works, especially when she's in her physiological cycle and emotionally explosive.

  Ryan wouldn't be stupid enough to touch Nicole Kidman's hair, would he? Just staying in the room is too easy for someone who has been through the pre-web era.

  It's a bit boring without computer and internet, fortunately, the maid brought a bunch of tabloids, can look at gossip to kill time.

  Suddenly, a light spot flashed in the distance. Ruien just raised her eyelids and narrowed her eyes again. Without looking closely, she knew that there must be reporters using telephoto lenses to take sneak shots. There were not a few paparazzi around the villa, and this situation was nothing out of the ordinary.

  He didn't mean to dodge, and he wasn't a classmate who was scattered all over the floor like wheat grains, so boring that he would take off his clothes on the balcony to smoke marijuana and drink, let them take pictures, just consider it as free publicity for himself.

  Besides, I'm now writing diligently, and no matter how you look at it, I'm a model of the "Five Goods" youth, a standard American young exemplar.

  Ah...... He scribbled hastily! Rayne opened his eyes and glanced at the manuscript in front of him, "Scream" had only written an opening.

  The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it was a huge commercial success and started a trend of campus youth horror films, influencing later films such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Final Destination".

  The 1980s was the heyday of traditional American horror movies, with "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" establishing the serial killer as a superior being in horror films. Freddy and Jason were the most popular figures at that time, just like superheroes in later Marvel movies.

  After entering the 1990s, American horror movies began to decline, with plot clichés and overuse of tomato sauce-like techniques causing audiences to gradually lose interest. However, the rise of "The Sixth Sense" and "The Silence of the Lambs" showed that there was another way for horror movies to go, but this type of psychological thriller combined with ethics had extremely high requirements for screenplays and directors.

  Although many works have followed suit in the past two years, few have been able to sell well.

  The success of Scream is not accidental, it integrates the elements of American horror movies, but also mercilessly mocks them through the mouths of movie characters, while abandoning single-line storytelling and setting up the killer's identity as the main suspense.

  On the other hand, this film has been targeting the youth market since its planning stage, so it has added a lot of youthful elements, such as romantic scenes, fashion, mobile phones, voice changers and rave parties.

  Also included are guest appearances by teen idols of the time, such as Drew Barrymore in the first film and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the second.

  In Ryan's view, the most interesting part of this movie is the ending. Many people have criticized this ending, thinking that the killer's reason for killing is too far-fetched. In fact, as **Stu said, there is no reason to kill, just because it feels good to kill, is there a more chilling reason than this?

  The most exciting part of the first season is when Drew gets killed, if she were to be replaced by a female lead, who would take her place? It seems like it's a big problem.

  Perhaps the little chili pepper from the previous life was not bad? Unfortunately, Gwendolyn doesn't have much of a reputation now and isn't the water fairy from her past life.

  There are many headaches, and many lines in the movie involve other movies, especially "Instinct", because of the butterfly effect, this film that should have been released has not started yet, so we can only change the lines.

  Also, there is Scream Queen, she can keep it, and James Cameron chose her to play the female lead in True Lies.

  Stop! Hold it right there! Don't overthink it, you're just a screenwriter, at most a gold-medal screenwriter. Leave these things to the future director and producers of the movie to worry about.

  The script needs to be finished as soon as possible, since I promised Drew Barrymore, and keeping one's word is one of Ryan's few principles in life. Besides, this guy is okay except for his messy private life and being too ***, he's still a decent person.

  The morning passed quickly in the scratching sound of pens, and the maid brought lunch. Nicole was not at home, she went to Melrose Avenue with Judy Foster, shopping and buying things, after all, the Oscars were coming soon.

  Every year at this time, it's the season when female stars rack their brains to buy fashionable clothes. For the Oscars red carpet show, many celebrities spend millions of dollars on clothing, and if you add up the jewelry they wear, it's an astronomical figure.

  Money is not only spent, but also pays attention to the style of clothing. There's nothing more embarrassing than colliding with shirts in that kind of occasion. If two people have a little bit of history, it's even more wonderful.

  After enjoying his lunch, Ryan picked up the newspaper and began to flip through it, skipping over any articles that mentioned him, whether they were praising or criticizing.

  He has long passed the stage of satisfying his vanity with praise from newspapers.

  Gossip in the tabloids is nothing more than which female star exposed herself, who went clubbing, and then rode home with someone, spent a romantic night together, who inserted themselves as a third party, snatched which celebrity's girlfriend or boyfriend.

  When he opened "Hollywood Reporter", he became interested in the pictures inside.

  These are more than a dozen photos taken from the scene, and the man in them is still so handsome, it's Tom Cruise.

  Recently, a reporter stumbled upon Tom Cruise's whereabouts at a certain location in New Jersey, where he is currently filming an action movie called "Cruise Control". The reporter randomly interviewed him, and according to Mr. Cruise, this film has an investment of $70 million, his first in over a year. He claims that neither the action scenes nor the grand production will be inferior to "Terminator 2", and is sure to thrill fans. The movie is being co-produced by his company and Sony Columbia, and is scheduled for release in the summer of '93.

  Next summer? Ryan couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth. Although "Jurassic Park" has not yet confirmed a specific release date, it is expected to be released during next year's summer season. Of course, this news was only known to a few people.

  Is there also "Inferno"? What movie is this? Ryan wondered to himself if he was still familiar with Hollywood movies since the 90s, having seen most of the ones that had some fame, yet he had never heard of this name.

  Is it a movie that didn't exist in the past? He thought it was very likely, under his own cauldron of fate, Tom Cruise began to walk on a completely different film path than before, as for whether he would be more successful than before or slowly decline, this was not something he could intervene in before he came of age.

  As he said, Hollywood is all about profits. As long as Tom Cruise's box office appeal remains, no matter how notorious his reputation becomes, there will still be producers who want him to star in their films.

  But in the past few years, Tom Cruise would have borrowed the momentum of "Top Gun" to rise, but now this honor belongs to another handsome man.

  The movie officially landed in North American theaters at the end of February, with almost all the original cast members retained except for the male lead. More importantly, this film is clearly one where the role makes the actor. To know that "A Violent Separation" is a standard American mainstream movie, the lawyer role is full of positive energy.

  Yes, Brad Pitt's box office draw is far from Tom Cruise's, but Nicole Kidman makes up for it to some extent, and the results after the film's release have proven this.

  The role that was most criticized when played by Demi Moore, but after being taken over by Nicole, it received unanimous praise from critics, who believed she fully demonstrated her acting skills in "Sixth Sense", and even better than her performance in "Sleepless in Seattle". The only pity is that her appearance in the movie is a bit too beautiful.

  The female character in the movie is portrayed as beautiful, and in the eyes of most film critics, that's a sin.

  Jack Nicholson is a given, the old master, one of the four great actors, and his portrayal of the big villain in it is the biggest highlight of the movie.

  Brad Pitt continues his upward momentum from "Thelma and Louise" with a dashing military officer look, trending to become another red-hot idol.

  Since choosing this circle, no one doesn't want to become a first-line superstar. Brad Pitt instantly became the focus of media pursuit, but he later became one of the kings of heaven because he is a clever person who understands that all this is just the beginning.

  He also specially called Ryan to thank him for recommending himself to play this role, and asked Nicole Kidman to send a small gift, not something very precious, just a limited edition model of the special forces.

  As of today, "The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure" has been released for a month and its box office has exceeded $90 million, approaching the $100 million mark. Compared to an investment of $30 million, it is already a huge success.

  Although the screenplay for this film was not written by Ryan, word had circulated privately that he had acquired it and recommended Brad Pitt to star in it.

  In fact, the source of the news Ryan can guess, either it's Goldie Hawn's team or Harvey Weinstein, this is a win-win situation for both parties, the movie can continue to be hyped and promoted, and he himself can also continue to add another layer of glory to himself.

  To be exact, Ryan now has a considerable reputation, the position of golden scriptwriter is gradually solidifying, and he has a tendency to become the number one teenage idol in the US. However, his career is still in its early stages, and the more solid foundation he lays now, the more benefits he will reap in the future.
