Seek starting point subscription, monthly ticket, collection, recommendation ticket

The day before the Spring Festival, Ryan accepted an invitation from a CCTV talk show.

However, many topics are negotiated in advance.

On this point, there is nothing to worry about.

There was still a while before the interview began, and the studio was already full of people, most of whom were student representatives from Magic City University of the Arts, and many of them were holding posters of films in their hands.

In recent years, many films of Orion Films have been imported across the Pacific Ocean, and the ubiquitous pirated DVD discs have made many people know about Orion Films.

Especially in the past two years, Orion Films first fully bought MGM, one of the seven old Hollywood film companies, and produced "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "Spider-Man" and "Harry-Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" have sold well at the global box office, occupying the global box office rankings one after another.

Maybe Ryan himself didn't realize that the influence of Orion Films on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is definitely not inferior to Disney.

Of course, in the eyes of many academics, Orion Films is full of copper stink.

Not long after, accompanied by a very beautiful female host, Ryan walked into the studio and sat down very casually.

"Mr. Ryan Gosling is not only a famous Hollywood director, he is also the owner of Orion Films, a large Hollywood film company with global distribution channels, which owns MGM, Marvel Pictures, Marvel Comics, Blue Sky Studio and other sub-brands."

"Among them, MGM was once one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, with the world's largest film library, and Marvel Studios is the production company of "Spider-Man" with a global box office of more than 900 million US dollars.

Marvel Comics is one of the two major comic companies in North America, and Blue Sky Studios is one of the three major animation studios in Hollywood. It has produced..."

The beautiful hostess gave a general introduction, her eyes fell on Ryan, and she couldn't help but secretly marvel, just the sub-brand company under it is enough to surprise people.

"Mr. Gosling, how did you feel when you came to the Magic City for the first time!" She had communicated with Ryan backstage, trying not to involve sensitive issues related to politics.

"It's a very welcoming city."

Ryan still said in English: "My colleague, she plans to stay here for a while to learn traditional oriental culture."

"Is it Miss Natalie-Portman!" The hostess deliberately mentioned Natalie-Portman.

"Yes." Ryan spread his hands and said, "She is a Jewish person, and this is her second hometown."

Many people in the audience were taken aback for a moment. A Hollywood actress regards Magic City as her second hometown?

The hostess was very understanding and explained the relationship between the magic city and the Jewish race.

This makes people suddenly realize, no wonder it is a second hometown.

Helped Natalie-Portman sell the character design, and quickly returned to the topic.

"I heard that Orion Films intends to invest in building a themed cinema in a major city in Asia!" the hostess asked a very concerned question.

"That's right."

Ryan admitted it frankly, and said: "The business scope of any large Hollywood film company will not be limited to the production and distribution business, but will gradually expand to the entire entertainment link, including theme studios. one."

"As we all know, Disney owns the world-famous Disneyland, Universal Pictures owns many Universal Studios, and Warner Bros. also owns the Warner World theme park."

"Although Orion Films is a latecomer, it also needs to build its own theme cinema."

Speaking of this, Ryan deliberately paused, and continued to speak: "Orion Films owns the world's largest film library, Marvel Comics, one of the two major comic companies in North America, and Blue Sky Studios."

"And the copyrights of a group of characters that everyone is very familiar with, such as Tom and Jerry, Spike, Spiderman, Scratt, etc."

Most of the character copyrights owned by Orion Pictures, except those belonging to Marvel Comics, are from MGM, such as "Tarzan of the Apes", "Tom and Jerry", "Pink Panther" and so on.

"Can you introduce it in detail!" The hostess also showed a look of surprise. It was the first time she heard that the famous "Tom and Jerry" belonged to MGM.

Now, referring to the planning and scale of Disneyland in his previous life, Ryan briefly introduced, "The initial investment scale of Orion Films will reach 5 billion US dollars, and it may continue to expand in the future."

Compared with Disney's investment scale of US$5.5 billion in the previous life, it is slightly smaller.

But don't forget to float through the inflation and dollar conversion ratio.

At present, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for about 8.2 yuan, and the investment of 5 billion US dollars is probably more than 40 billion US dollars.

For a moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

"Five billion dollars?"

"How much is converted into our currency!"

"At least say 40 billion or more."

"Fuck, foreign devils are really rich."

The hostess was also a little dumbfounded. Before she came, she deliberately read the statistics of overseas capital investment in the whole country last year. The total investment amount of all 22,347 projects was only 71.1 billion US dollars.

At present, the investment in one project of Orion Films alone is as high as 5 billion US dollars, which is close to one fourteenth of the total investment of foreign funds in the country last year.

Not to mention the magic city, but domestic cities such as Beijing, Pengcheng, Xiangjiang, and Taipei, as well as major cities in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, etc., I am afraid that they will come to you during this period.

You know, just a few years after the Asian financial crisis, there is a lack of investment everywhere.

Including across the Pacific Ocean.

She suddenly understood a little bit, no wonder Taili would agree to come to the magic city for an interview, and it was a green light all the way.

The above also hope to keep the investment project of Orion Films.

This year marks a turning point for the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which joined the WTO in 2001 and officially entered into force on December 11, 2001.

This is a double-edged sword, which brings a huge market to the domestic market. At the same time, it is easier for foreign companies to enter the domestic market.

Many people are pessimistic about this.

If Mocheng gets a $5 billion investment project as soon as the agreement takes effect, it will be no less than launching a satellite, and it can even play an exciting role.

The Internet is going crazyMany people left messages, "I hope it's not a verbal check, but a real plan to invest."

"Yes, yes."

Many people have such worries, "I'm afraid it's just a promotional slogan for the release of the "Spider-Man" movie."

However, there are also netizens with great powers, "It is said that Orion Films has already started contacting the Mocheng government, and intends to deepen the cooperation between the two parties."

"A few days ago, there were reports from the American media that Orion Pictures intends to buy Universal Studios and invest 5 billion US dollars to build Asia's largest themed movie theater. This is not a casual talk."

Of course, Ryan didn't just talk about it casually, but hoped that the plans of the Avengers could echo each other. On the eve of the release of "Iron Man", Marvel Studios could officially open the park.

Even, loss-making operations in previous years are acceptable.

When Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures complete the assembly of the Avengers on the screen and the first "Avengers" is released, it will be difficult for Marvel Studios to lose money.
