Rebirth In Hollywood

For Schwarzenegger's party, Ryan quickly put it to the back of his mind, which happens every day in Hollywood, and what makes it special is undoubtedly the upcoming California gubernatorial election.

As for the person whose head he thought was abnormal at the time, he hardly left any impression, and he would never have thought that there was indeed something wrong with the other person's head.

Compared with these, Ryan is more interested in "Terminator 3". This film, like the previous life, was criticized by the media and the audience after its release. However, in his opinion, the film is still more advanced than the previous life. At least the choice of male and female protagonists is much better, and I didn't choose a pair of crooked melons and cracked dates like in my previous life.

Of course, the "Terminator" series has been sold to 20th Century Fox, and Ryan is just paying attention to it, which is confirmed in memory.

The next day, Ryan waited for Roland Emmerich at Disney, roughly flipped through the script brought by the other party, and determined that it was "The Day After Tomorrow".

"Well, Roland, Disney will invest in your film."

In the office of the Disney headquarters building, Ryan put down the script and said to the director opposite across the desk, "I will inform Disney Pictures... Well, our people will discuss with you about the investment as soon as possible."

"How much do you expect to invest?" he asked again.

"At least $100 million." Roland Emmerich is also welcome. The main feature of his films is special effects.

Nodding, Ryan stood up and stretched out his hand. When the other party held it, he said, "Well, this must be a pleasant cooperation."

"definitely is!"

Roland Emmerich sighed in his heart, Ryan was much more happy than the people at Sony Entertainment, that group of people can't wait to talk to you about a project for the first half of the year.

Roland Emmerich was sent off, and Ryan sat behind his desk. He only needs to understand most of Disney's affairs, and the focus is still on the film.

Nowadays, the degree of globalization is getting higher and higher. Last year, Disney's works have entered the end of the global screening, and most of them have been offline.

In the past year, "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" was the highest-grossing film in the world. Although this film was completely defeated by "Spider-Man" in North America, it had a beautiful turnaround in overseas regions and won a global It grossed more than $980 million at the box office, although several small regional screenings are not over yet. But the box office will never exceed the $1 billion threshold.

And "Spider-Man" as last year's North American box office champion,

It is also popular overseas, entering all overseas markets that Hollywood movies can enter, with a global box office of more than 820 million US dollars, second only to "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".

Another film he starred in, "Captain America", has so far grossed more than $580 million at the global box office, far exceeding the expectations of surprise. The proliferation of terrorism around the world has played a role in the film. help.

As for small productions like The Princess Diaries. Compared to the investment, the income is also quite impressive.

Judging from the current situation, both "Spider-Man" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" can be profitable at the box office, and "Captain America" ​​can barely recover the cost. But the biggest revenue for these films comes from the surrounding area.

In fact, if you really want to talk about the degree of profitability, an animated feature film like "Shrek" can be called a horror, a movie produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio. So far, the global box office has also exceeded 600 million US dollars, but the peripheral income is more than double that of "Captain America".

Animated film production cycle is long and costly, once successful. It will bring huge benefits.

Pixar Studio's "Finding Nemo" will be released in the near future. This movie, which was named General Mobilization by China Film Group in its previous life, can be called the pinnacle of computer animation technology. After realizing fire and hair, Pixar successfully created animation. ocean.

The production of two animated feature films at the same time has almost become a tradition of Pixar. After finishing all the post-production work on "Finding Nemo", Pixar's most profitable cartoon "Cars" in the previous life was put on the agenda by them.

Compared with Pixar Studios, the Disney animation department can only be described as silent. They are too far from their former glory, and their technology and concepts are completely behind the development of the market. These cannot be changed by an excellent idea and script.

If Disney Animation wants to recreate its glory, it can only accumulate slowly. They are exploring the production of some computer animation short films to accumulate experience.

Anyway, there are a lot of fairy tales that can be re-interpreted in the future, and Ryan is not in a hurry.

Originally, Ryan thought about whether to leave "Kung Fu Panda" to the Disney animation department, but then he thought about it and gave up directly.

The cartoon is quintessentially DreamWorks animation, neither Pixar nor Disney.

The singing and dancing version of "Kung Fu Panda" makes people tremble just thinking about it.

Hollywood's top animation studios each have their own distinct style. This type of lip-smacking and funny is undoubtedly the typical style of DreamWorks Animation, which is completely different from other animation studios.

Hmmm... Despicable Me seems good to DreamWorks Animation.

It seems that I should find someone to come up with the script and character modeling in advance. Anyway, Universal Pictures now belongs to the French, and I have no friendship with the French.

In addition, the negotiations with the CIA also yielded results, and the other party agreed in principle to authorize it. After all, this is one of the classic masterpieces.

Antonio Mendez, who participated in the formulation and personally implemented the plan, said that with the cooperation of the team sent by Ryan, a memoir will be compiled as soon as possible.

Ryan also assured him that as long as the film adaptation rights were obtained, the publication of the memoir would not be a problem at all.

Towards evening, Ryan left the Disney building and went to Jenkins Studios not far away.

After merging into Disney, Jenkins Pictures gradually completed the role change. Those series of large-scale movies were basically transferred to Disney Pictures, which themselves became distributions such as "American Pie", "Scream" and "Scream". ""Death is Coming" and other low-investment film companies.

Now, another series is going through intense post-production here.

In the editing room on the second floor, he met the three men and women with complicated relationships. After watching the post-production that was about to be completed, Ryan went to the entertainment room on the first floor and found Taylor and the younger girl she was accompanying. .

"Hey Lily..."

From the center of the pile of wood, Ryan found the little girl over four years old and rubbed her head, "Long time no see."

"Hello, Godfather." The little girl was polite, not as naughty as Taylor of the same period.

Hearing the name that was tacitly accepted by the people around him, Ryan smiled helplessly, and then glared at Taylor who was sitting behind the little girl. Miss Swift was lying on the table and playing with a Rubik's cube, without even looking at it. here.

Nicole is Lily's godmother, but Ryan never said she would be her godfather. The little girl would shout like that, of course, it was the result of Taylor's education.

Still, having an extra goddaughter doesn't matter, and it's not a big deal in Hollywood either.

"Why are you here?" Ryan picked Lily up, put her on a chair, and sat across from Taylor, "Don't have to go to the record company today?"

"I'm taking a rest today." Tyler raised his head and stuffed the cube into the curious Lily, "Her nanny has taken leave, and Kate wants to work, so I can't find anyone to see her for the time being, so I was sent by Nicole. come over."

"I just watched it for a while." Taylor's eyes lit up, and the listless look seemed to disappear, "Kate's vampire is really cool."

"Honey, that's not suitable for your age." Ryan grabbed her high nose and shook it back and forth. Taylor quickly reached out and opened it, "I just watched a few clips and was kicked out."

Taylor was naturally talking about "Underworld". After Ryan thought of this series, he asked the writing team to come up with the script, and then hired Lang Wiseman. Anyway, it was only a small production with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars.

Unexpectedly, Lang Wiseman still found Michael Sheen when the producers confirmed Kate Beckinsale as the heroine...

From what he got from Nicole, it seems Kate Beckinsale has started dating Ron Wiseman.

Taylor doesn't like children very much. Fortunately, Lily is not the type to cry and cry. The two of them can barely play together. Taylor spends most of the time teaching Lily how to make blocks and play Rubik's cube. She is also a more responsible sister.

"elder sister……"

Lily put down the Rubik's Cube in her hand and tugged at Tyler's arm, "I want to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, okay." Tyler turned his head, rolled his eyes helplessly at Ryan, and took the little girl to the bathroom on the other side.

They had just left when the door to the entertainment room was pushed open from the outside, and Kate Beckinsale walked in with the director.

"Hi Ryan." She waved to this side and asked, "Where are Lily and Tyler?"

"Going to the bathroom." Ryan gestured to the chair opposite. "Wait a while, I should be back soon."

After Kate Beckinsale sat down, Ryan asked again, "Kate, are you done with that Universal Monster movie?"

"Not yet." She picked up the Rubik's cube and turned it twice in her hand. "Director Sommers is waiting for the weather in Europe to get colder, and will probably start shooting again at the end of September."

"Hi, Kate."

While Tyler's voice came, the girl handed Lily into Beckinsale's hands, "Dear Lily, from now on, your mother will take care of you."

"Thank you, sister!" The little girl thanked her in a milky voice.

"You're welcome." Taylor followed Ryan's example, rubbed the little girl's hair, took out his bag, took out a purple crystal bow from it, and stuck it on Lily's brown hair, "This way prettier."

"It's almost time." Ryan looked at his watch and reminded, "Let's go, otherwise Nicole should be in a hurry." (To be continued..) ()
