Chapter 588： Hello godfather

For Schwarzenegger’s party, Ryan quickly put it behind his head. This kind of party will appear in Hollywood every day. To say that it is special, it will undoubtedly involve the upcoming California governorship.

As for the person whose head he thought was not normal at the time, he hardly left any impression, and he would never have thought that there was indeed a problem with the other person's head.

Compared with these, Ryan is more interested in "Terminator 3". This movie, like the previous life, has been criticized by the media and audiences after its release. However, in his opinion, the film is still more advanced than the previous life. At least the choice of heroes and heroines is much better. 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 Twentieth Century Fox, and Ryan only paid a little attention to it, and it was confirmed in memory.

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

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

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

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

"At least one hundred million dollars." Roland Emmerich is also polite. His movie's main feature is special effects.

Nodded, 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. Ryan is much happier than the people at Sony Entertainment. Those people, a project, can't wait to talk to you about the first half of the year.

Roland Emmerich was sent away, Ryan sat behind the 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, the global screenings of Disney's works have entered the end, and most of them have been offline.

In the past year, the world’s highest grossing box office was "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers". Although this movie was completely lost to "Spider-Man" in North America, it fought a beautiful turnaround in overseas regions. It won a box office of more than 980 million US dollars, although the screenings in several small areas have not yet ended. But the box office will never exceed the $1 billion threshold.

As the North American box office champion last year, "Spider-Man" 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" .

The other film he starred in, "Captain America", has so far exceeded the global box office of 580 million U.S. dollars, which greatly exceeded the surprise expectation. The spread of terrorism worldwide has played a role in the film. Helping effect.

As for small productions like "The Princess Diaries". Compared with investment, the income is also considerable.

Judging from the current situation, both "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" can achieve profit at the box office, and "Captain America" ​​barely recovers the cost. But the biggest income of these movies comes from the surrounding areas.

In fact, when it comes to profitability, an animated feature film like "Shrek" can be called 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".

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

"Looking for Nemo" by Pixar Studios will be released in the near future. This film, which was dubbed as a general mobilization by China Film Group in the previous life, can be called the pinnacle of computer animation technology. After the realization of fire and hair, Pixar successfully produced animation ocean.

The two animated feature films were produced at the same time, which almost became Pixar's tradition. After finishing all the post-production work of "Finding Nemo", Pixar's most profitable animation "Cars 2" was put on the agenda by them.

Compared with Pixar Studios, Disney's animation department can only be described as silence. They are too far away from their former glory, and their technology and concepts are completely behind the development of the market. These are not things that can be changed by a brilliant idea and script.

If Disney Animation wants to reshape its glory, it can only accumulate slowly. They are trying to produce some short computer animations 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 also thought about whether to leave "Kung Fu Panda" to the Disney Animation Department, but later considered it and gave up directly.

This cartoon can be described as a typical DreamWorks animation style, neither suitable for Pixar, nor for Disney animation.

The singing and dancing version of "Kung Fu Panda" makes people tremble to think about.

Hollywood’s leading animation studios each have their own distinctive style. This type of silly and funny style is undoubtedly the typical style of DreamWorks animation, and its philosophy is completely different from other animation studios.

Hmm... "Despicable Me" seems to be a good animation for DreamWorks.

It seems that I should find someone to get the script and characters out in advance. Anyway, Universal Pictures is now a French, and I don't have any friendship with the French.

In addition, the negotiations with the Central Intelligence Agency also yielded results. The other party agreed to authorize in principle. After all, this is one of the classic masterpieces.

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

Ryan also assured him that as long as he gets the right to adapt the film, the publication of the memoir is not a problem at all.

Near the evening, Ryan left the Disney building and went to Jenkins Pictures not far away.

After merging into Disney, Jenkins Pictures gradually completed the role change. Those large-invested films were basically transferred to Disney Pictures, and they themselves became distributions such as "American Pie", "Screaming" and "Screaming". "Reaper is coming" and other low-investment film companies.

Now, another series is undergoing intense post-production here.

I saw the three men and women with complicated relationships in the editing room on the second floor. After seeing the upcoming post-production, 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 a pile of wood, Ryan found a four-year-old girl and rubbed her head, "It's been a long time."

"Hello, godfather." The little girl was very polite, not as naughty as Taylor at the same time.

Ryan smiled helplessly when he heard the name that was acquiesced by the people around him, and then glared at Taylor who was sitting behind the little girl. Miss Swift was lying on the table playing with a Rubik's cube, not even looking at it. Here.

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

However, it doesn't matter if you have one more goddaughter, which is not a big deal in Hollywood.

"Why are you here?" Ryan picked up Lily, put her on the chair, and sat down across from Taylor. "You don't need to go to the record company today?"

"I'm taking a break today." Taylor raised his head and stuffed the Rubik's Cube to the curious Lily. "Her babysitter asked for leave, and Kate is going to work, so I can’t find anyone to watch her for the time being, so I was sent by Nicole. come."

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

"My dear, that doesn't suit your age now." Ryan grabbed her high nose and shook it back and forth. Taylor quickly stretched out his hand to open it, "I just watched a few clips and I was driven off."

Tyler was naturally talking about "Underworld". After Ryan thought about this series, he asked the screenwriter to get the script out, and then he found Lang Wiseman. Anyway, it was just a small production with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars.

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

According to the news he got from Nicole, it seems that Kate Beckinsale has already started dating Ron Wiseman.

Taylor doesn't like children very much. Fortunately, Lily is not the kind of crying, two people can barely get together to play together. Taylor spends most of the time teaching Lily to arrange blocks and play Rubik's Cube, and she is a more responsible sister.

"sister……"

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

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

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

"Hi, Ryan." She beckoned and asked, "Where are Lily and Tyler?"

"Go to the bathroom Ryan motioned to the opposite chair, "Wait a moment, I should be back soon. "

After Kate Beckinsale sat down, Ryan asked again, "Kate, is your Universal Monster movie finished?"

"Not yet." She picked up the Rubik's Cube and turned it twice in her hand. "Director Somos is waiting for the weather in Europe to get cold, and filming will resume at the end of September.

"Hi, Kate."

While Taylor'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 elder sister!" The little girl thanked her milkyly.

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

"Time is almost up." Ryan glanced at his watch and reminded, "Let's go, otherwise Nicole will be anxious." (To be continued...) ()
