Crowds were everywhere at the departure gate of Magic City International Airport. Many movie fans held posters and slogans with the name of "Spider-Man" written in both Chinese and English.

In addition to movie fans, there are also a large number of media reporters and security personnel.

In addition, many tourists who came and went couldn't help being stunned when they saw the name of "Spider-Man" and the huge promotional poster.

Many of the tourists from foreign countries couldn't help but stop.

Not long after, Ryan's crew followed the reception staff and walked towards the exit.

Along the way, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, James Franco and others looked around very curiously.

In contrast, Ryan looked much calmer.

He is very familiar with the city in front of him.

"Aren't you curious if you're stumped!"

"This is a city that belongs to the mysterious eastern world." Looking at Ryan with a calm face, Natalie Portman couldn't help asking.

For Hollywood, Magic City is a completely strange world, a world that is almost closed to Hollywood.

Since the 1980s, Hollywood has continuously captured the film markets of one country after another, but has never really opened the door to the market across the Pacific.

"Put away your curiosity, Magic City is also an international metropolis, no different from Los Angeles."

"And remember not to answer the reporter's questions casually for a while." Ryan instructed.

In fact, on the plane just now, he had specifically instructed not to answer any questions about politics or topics involving race.

Don't make any jokes.

Hearing this, Natalie Portman curled her lips, lowered her head and pushed the suitcase, and followed the crew into the exit.

As soon as she walked out, Natalie Portman was somewhat surprised by the scene in front of her.

In front of the exit, there were at least a hundred movie fans gathered, and some even held her promotional poster.

While Natalie Portman was surprised, she was inevitably a little excited, and subconsciously glanced at Ryan. This was the market he had been longing for.

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man..."

"Natalie-Portman! Natalie-Portman! Natalie-Portman..."

"Ryan-Gosling! Ryan-Gosling! Ryan-Gosling..."

Both Ryan and Natalie Portman are well-known here, while Toby Maguire and James Franco are far behind.

But for the role played by Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man is quite famous.

The next moment, a large number of fans came over to sign autographs and take photos.

In this regard, a group of several cast members cooperated very well, including Kevin Feige, who took photos with several enthusiastic fans.

Although those movie fans probably don't know who he is at all.

Well, the reputation of Kevin Fitch in his previous life was not much worse than that of big-name Hollywood stars.

After satisfying the autographed photo of the fans, a media reporter came over and asked loudly, "Mr. Gosling, can I ask you a few questions?"

Ryan communicated with the receptionist for a while and asked for the other party's consent before he nodded and said, "Of course."

"Mr. Gosling."

The reporter raised the tape recorder excitedly and asked, "Apart from promoting the new film "Spider-Man", do you have any other commercial investments during this trip?"

Compared with "Spiderman", many non-entertainment reporters are more concerned about commercial investment.

"First of all, Orion Films has invested in many industries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean."

Ryan smiled and continued: "Also, apart from the "Spider-Man" publicity plan, Orion Films plans to build a themed movie theater in Asia."

"It's going to be a big park featuring Marvel and Marvel Studios superheroes."

At this time another reporter asked: "Can I ask about the specific investment scale?"

Ryan didn't even think about it, and said, "It depends on the specific investment situation."

"However, it is initially estimated that it can receive at least 50,000 tourists per day."

This is already a very conservative figure. During the peak period of tourists received by the Disney amusement park in the previous life, it could reach 70,000 people a day, or even more than 100,000 people.

"Wow..." Someone exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't it bigger than Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan!"

Tokyo Disneyland, Japan was built in 1982. It is located in Maihama, Urayasu City, Chiba County, east of Tokyo, Japan. It was jointly built by Disney Company and Japan Azusa Design Company. It is known as the No. 1 theme amusement park in Asia.

However, the theme studio mentioned by Ryan has more than double the number of daily receptions than Tokyo Disneyland. Converted to an investment scale, it needs at least billions of dollars.

Seeing the astonishment of the media reporters, Ryan was very satisfied. This is what he wanted.

Next, Ryan did not continue to answer questions, but under the **** of the airport security personnel, the crew left the airport, entered the car that had been prepared earlier, and arrived at the Ruijin Hotel where they stayed.

This hotel is composed of four old villas with different styles, and each old villa has spacious and bright senior bedrooms, banquet halls and meeting rooms.

There is also a large garden covering an area of ​​about seven hectares, with small bridges and flowing water, singing birds and fragrant flowers, big trees in the sky, little angel marble fountains;

The hotel is full of green grass all the year round, planted with precious flowers and towering ancient trees, it is like spring all the year round, and the scenery is pleasant

“British classic architectural style!”

Looking at the Ruijin Hotel in front of her, Sofia Coppola looked very surprised.

Unexpectedly, on the far side of the Pacific Ocean, there is still a hotel full of British classical architectural style, which is incredible.

"In a while, you will be even more surprised." Ryan smiled.

This is the hotel he specially asked the overseas branch to book.

After a while, the crew came to the Taiyuan villa inside.

"This villa is called City of Dreams, and its first owner was an English lady."

"However, its architectural style is biased towards the French style." The hotel receptionist said briefly.

"It seems to have suddenly come to the French Renaissance." Natalie Portman blinked her eyes. The double-sloped roof and French-style windows in front of her are all typical French architectural styles.

Under the introduction of the reception staff, everyone walked into the villa.

"Hello, Mr. Gosling."

In the living room, a middle-aged man in a suit spoke very fluent English, "I am Tian Yu-Wang."

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Ryan shook his hand with a very polite tone.

This time he came here not only to promote the release of "Spider-Man", but also to test the tone of investing in the construction of a Marvel-themed studio.

This is his main purpose.

At the same time, it is also building the brand awareness of Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures.

In the future, Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures will become a familiar brand like Disney in the past.

Then again, he is now crossing the river completely following the route of Disney in his previous life.

Tian Yu-Wang said a few polite words, directly entered the topic, and said, "Mr. Gosling, you can rest for a few days and experience the local customs here."

"Of course, if you agree, you can also accept the invitation of the talk show."

"also…"

He hesitated a little, and said, "We very much welcome Orion Films to invest in China."

"Magic City has a very ideal location and preferential policies."

Ryan said very solemnly: "I myself and Orion Films are also very happy to deepen cooperation with you."

Hearing this, Tian Yu-Wang couldn't help laughing, there are many things that don't need to be explained too clearly.

"That's always been our development philosophy."

These words are not only a request from China Film Group, but also a request from the top management of the Magic City government.

Facing a project with an investment of billions of dollars, even the largest theme park in Asia, it is difficult not to attract attention.

After not staying for long, Tian Yu-Wang left quickly. He was only a representative of China Film Group, and other specialists would be in charge of commercial investment.

When he came to the room, Ryan took a shower to get some sleep. He woke up after five o'clock in the afternoon, and went out to taste authentic Chinese food with everyone.

However, Ryan is not very interested in Modu cuisine.

He has a strong taste and prefers Sichuan or Hunan cuisine.

Next, the premiere of "Spider-Man" is still a few days away.

Right now is the busiest time of the year. In addition to the promotional activities arranged by China Film and Orion Films, Ryan took Natalie-Portman and Sofia-Coppola for a walk and experienced it thoroughly. The breath of spring.

During this period, Ryan contacted many people, including high-level officials of the Magic City government and some people in the entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, the political atmosphere in the magic city is very light, but the commercial atmosphere is strong, which is very in line with Ryan's investment plan.

This year, the other side of the Pacific Ocean will formally join the World Trade Organization, and the policy on investment of overseas funds will be relaxed a lot.

The only thing that worries him is that Disney is also in contact with the higher-ups of Magic City,

In the previous life, the two sides negotiated for ten years, and it was not until the end of 2009 that the Magic City Disneyland project was approved by the relevant state departmentsOn April 8th, the Disneyland project officially started construction.

The time span is frighteningly long.

However, according to Ryan's plan, it is best to approve the project as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it takes, it will not only increase the investment and construction costs.

Moreover, as time goes by, the foreign exchange reserves on the other side of the Pacific Ocean continue to increase, and Orion Pictures will have less and less initiative.

For this reason, he can make concessions on some details.

At the same time, it can squeeze out the Disneyland project proposed by Disney.

In the short term, it is impossible for Magic City to build two large-scale theme park projects at the same time.

Of course, catching up is not buying and selling, and necessary negotiating means are still needed.

Not to mention billions of dollars of investment involved.
