Rebirth In Hollywood

After hiding in the former home and lingering for several days, Ryan and Nicole gradually returned to a normal relationship, but compared to the past, Nicole's attitude towards him has obviously changed. On the surface, it seems to be stricter many.

Although Nicole knew that with the status of the two of them now, such sternness might not be effective, but she wanted to fully demonstrate her attitude in this way.

Ryan also knew that if it wasn't for taking advantage of the Disney incident, Nicole might not give in, and some things would naturally not be mentioned in front of her.

After leaving Los Angeles and going to Harvard, he came to New York and reached an agreement with the top executives of Marvel Comics on the next shooting.

Afterwards, I went to Blue Sky Studio and briefly checked the progress of "Ice Age 2".

Although "Ice Age 1" is not as popular as "Monsters, Inc.", it has also won more than 200 million US dollars in box office in North America, and as the publisher, 20th Century Fox has full rights to represent various peripheral sales of the cartoon , These have brought gratifying income.

No matter how you look at it, making a sequel to this animated feature film is imperative.

After a series of agreements were reached, Twentieth Century Fox became the second largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studios, and News Corporation wanted to take this animation studio under its umbrella to make up for the biggest deficiency of Fox Films.

This is also the reason why they fully supported Ryan some time ago.

Ryan is very clear that he directly controls Pixar through Disney, and is the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios. Today, DreamWorks Animation is still not well-known. After "Shrek" is released, this kind of The situation cannot possibly continue.

Benefit sharing is always the theme in this circle.

Of course, if News Corporation wants to become the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studios, it must come up with conditions that can make him tempted enough.

"In my opinion. You can move fully behind the scenes."

This was a reception held by Rupert Murdoch in the mansion. The media tycoon looked at Ryan, who was not less wealthy than him, "With your current status, there is absolutely no need to continue acting in movies."

"Everyone has a hobby." Ryan turned his gaze back from the luxurious decoration of the banquet hall, and raised his glass to the Murdochs. "Rupert. Don't you think it's very interesting to create classic characters and participate in classic movies?"

"More,

Whether it is the director or the producer, who can regard Ryan as an ordinary actor? "

It was a blond middle-aged man who was speaking, and he walked over with a blond woman who was taller than Nicole. He took the initiative to extend his hand to Ryan, "Hi, Ryan, I'm Donald Trump."

"Hello, Donald." Ryan shook his hand and said politely, "Nice to meet you."

"Ryan. I heard..." Donald Trump greeted the Murdochs and then turned back. His target was obviously Ryan, "I heard that you just sold the villa."

"Yes. It can be regarded as a small profit." Ryan replied casually.

Because Natalie was sure that she would settle in Los Angeles after graduating from Harvard, and he had a long-term private room in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. After Spielberg fell in love with the holiday villa he bought before, he simply sold it to Jewish old man.

"Don't you want to own real estate in New York?" Donald Trump said after a few words of encouragement in his characteristic tone, "Trump Tower has the best and most valuable apartment in New York, are you interested? Maybe you can go and have a look tomorrow."

Of course, Ryan in Trump Tower has heard of it. The former New York real estate tycoon in front of him is a smart man. He just got out of the bankruptcy crisis not long ago, and began to think of ways to regain his wealth.

However, he has no interest in being a living sign for others.

"I can only say I'm sorry." Ryan politely refused without hesitation, "I will contact you if necessary in the future."

'the.' located at 40 Wall Street is indeed very famous, but this kind of fame comes more from Donald Trump's continuous self-promotion in the upper class and media, although Trump claims that its value is 400 million US dollars, but several professional institutions valued it at only 90 million US dollars.

Ryan frowned slightly as if remembering this very popular TV host. Unfortunately, he knew very little about reality shows, just like American dramas.

"I heard you bought a football club?"

The Murdochs went to greet other guests, and Donald Trump said again, "I also intend to invest in the Premier League."

"Oh..." Ryan laughed, "Manchester still has a Premier League team, Donald, why don't you buy it and we'll be neighbors?"

The young woman, who obviously didn’t know much about the Premier League, was holding his daughter, and whispered something in his ear, Donald Trump said, “That club’s reputation is too small, it’s not the same as my goal. Doesn't match."

"That's it."

It seemed that the real estate tycoon didn't seem to be joking. Ryan couldn't help pinching his chin and said, "There is a club in London called Chelsea. I heard that there is capital from Russia, and I am very interested in it."

"Russians?" Donald Trump, the nouveau riche in the mouth of the American media, said disdainfully, "A group of nouveau riche who only rely on resources to make money."

Shrugging gracefully, Ryan was about to leave, "Donald, if you are interested, you can contact Wall Street Trust Company, they are good at this."

This company is the Wall Street investment company that assisted Ryan in acquiring Manchester United.

Although this man has just recovered and is not considered the top rich man in North America, it should not be difficult to play with a Premier League club. As for the Russian rich man, let’s ignore his affairs, although the man who seems to be real love football.

Although many wealthy New Yorkers came to this reception, most of them came from media-related industries. Ryan, the new controlling shareholder of Disney, was naturally the focus of attention.

Just walking away from the famous father and daughter in the previous life, a group of people quickly surrounded Ryan.

Among these people are executives from Time Warner and News Corporation, as well as well-known producers and studio bosses such as the Weinstein brothers.

"A huge market with a population of 1.2 billion has opened its arms to Hollywood," said an executive director of Time Warner. "The signing of a bilateral agreement is a major victory for the film industry."

"Don't forget, the box office over there is not even one-tenth of that in North America." Someone threw cold water on it.

"The market is something that needs to be cultivated, and both 'Titanic' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' were successful there."

"And the number of screens and the box office over there are showing a straight-line upward trend." More and more people participated in the discussion.

"In this regard, we have to admire Ryan's vision." Gerald, who is in charge of Warner Bros., said, "Paramount Pictures and Jenkins Pictures are the most successful companies in developing the Chinese market."

"I heard that Disney is negotiating the latest amusement park project with Shanghai?" Another person also cast an envious look.

Ryan had to raise his glass to everyone, "This is Hollywood's victory, and we should celebrate."

Everyone laughed and toasted together.

Although Hollywood's internal competition is fierce, they can always be closely linked in matters related to the interests of the entire entertainment industry.

Major groups, including Walt Disney, have put a lot of pressure on the federal government. The "Memorandum of Understanding on Solving Film-related Issues" signed in Los Angeles not long ago has changed a lot from the previous life.

After intense bargaining, the two parties reached a series of agreements on the film.

Most obviously, the share of accounts for Hollywood movies has increased from 13% to 20%, and the share of ordinary films has also increased from ten to twenty.

In addition, the other party will also introduce special sub-account films and some films that buy out overseas copyrights according to specific circumstances.

Even though not much progress has been made in combating piracy, protecting peripheral copyrights and increasing distributors, such an agreement has also increased Hollywood's determination to further develop the world's largest market.

Since the acquisition of Jenkins Films, the branch of Disney Pictures in the Far East has been merged with the office of Jenkins Films in one place, concentrating on developing this brand-new market, and the films produced by Disney are undoubtedly easier to pass. The type of audit.

Over the years, the office of Jenkins Films has also made a lot of contacts, which will always be of some help to the introduction of films under its own banner.

Especially superhero movies, that's the type of thing that can make waves over there.

It's a pity that the cost of building a deformable robot with the current cg technology is too high, otherwise the Autobots and Decepticons will start one after another.

Hmm... Sino-US relations have undergone many changes after 9/11. It is entirely possible to find a few Chinese-American actors to serve as supporting roles that are not too important.

For the sake of the box office and the sales of peripheral products, Optimus Prime and Megatron are destined to love and kill each other for the rest of their lives.

With this in mind, Ryan joined the crew of "X-Men 2" after filming the location and returned to Los Angeles together. The rest of the scenes will be completed in the studio, including the easter eggs about Wolverine and Captain America fighting side by side shot.

Because "Captain America" ​​is still in preparation, only a few actors have been confirmed. This is just a scene of two people fighting, and it is not difficult to shoot.

As for the Roaring Commando, it is still being formed. According to Ryan’s suggestion, the image of several members will be highlighted. staunch ally of the British.

In the words of the other side, uniting all the forces that can be united is one of the loudest slogans chanted by the mainstream media.

And "Captain America" ​​is a standard theme film, and it will be released at this time, so it will naturally conform to the characteristics of the current era. ()
