Chapter 827： Can individuals really change the world?

Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills, like the media capital of Burbank, is a world-renowned entertainment industry center. In addition to caa, an innovative artist company that occupies half of Hollywood, it is the headquarters of 20th Century Fox Also located here. (

Night has fallen, and the dappled starlight is isolated from the window by the dazzling light in the office. At the luxurious desk, two middle-aged men are sitting opposite each other, one of them is silent, the other is holding the phone and talking, occasionally He will nod in agreement. Even on the phone, he still maintains enough respect for the person on the other end of the phone.

The caller was Tom Rothman, co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

A few minutes later, he put down the phone, and the person opposite immediately asked, "Tom, what Mr. Murdoch meant..."

"Increase the hype and attack on "Avatar"." Tom Rothman's words were slow, but very clear. "Attract the main energy of Ryan Jenkins and Disney to this aspect as much as possible, and we will speed up with Luca. Before they reacted, they tried to win Lucas Pictures."

"If he and Disney..." The other person was obviously worried. "George Lucas has friendship with him."

"What kind of friendship will play a role in the acquisition of more than 3 billion US dollars?" Tom Rosman said the most obvious reason, and then continued, "We can't give up the Star Wars series, and the head office can't let it go. It is impossible for Mr. Rupert Murdoch to see this series that should belong to the interests of Twentieth Century Fox and be taken away by Walt Disney."

He emphasized, "Don't forget, more than ten years ago, he already took away our "X-Men" series!"

Although Surprise is the copyright that was repurchased with real money, and even though it was a business you wished at the time, how could the huge success of the "X-Men" series prevent people from having some other ideas.

That said, though. But both Tom Rothman’s faces are not good-looking, or even too serious. They understand what it means to be prepared. In the 20th century, Fox is challenging a mountain that covers the entire Hollywood. Even a little carelessness may cause news. The war between the group and Walt Disney.

"Ryan has never been a person who would give up on his own initiative." The person opposite seemed to remind Tom Rothman, and seemed to remind himself, "We all know what kind of person he is!"

"We! Twentieth Century Fox and News Corp!" ​​Tom Rothman knocked off the table hard, and strengthened his tone, "Never give up the Star Wars series. Although we have some copyrights, the most profitable peripheral is in Lu In the hands of Cass Films, in the past 30 years, Lucas Films has used peripherals to create 28 billion US dollars in revenue!"

What hidden alliance, what personal relationship, in front of such a huge number, is just a fragile white paper.

"As for Ryan..." Tom Rothman thought for a while, but still leaked a little, "The group company and Mr. Rupert Murdoch will formulate corresponding measures to force him to give up."

"That's the best." The person on the other side was obviously relieved.

"and also!"

Tom Rothman emphasized, "I will personally form a negotiation team with Lucasfilm. This matter is kept as confidential as possible. Don’t forget that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are also shareholders of Twentieth Century Fox. Although the shares in the hand are limited, we must prevent anyone from leaking the news to them."

"I understand." The man stood up and walked outside the office.

Tom Rothman sat in a chair, silently watching the other person walk out of his office. There is still no relaxation on his face, and the media industry in Hollywood and even the entire United States is likely to start a war without gunsmoke, even if he has the full support of News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch. Standing in the dark again, but not sure.

Just because his opponent is called Ryan Jenkins!

Of course, everyone has weaknesses, and Ryan Jenkins has a lot of places for people to attack. He knows this very well, so he will support the decision of the head office.

For example, if "Avatar" really fails as hoped, Ryan Jenkins' status at Disney will definitely be affected, and Disney will also encounter a lot of trouble, so that even if the other party detects in advance, the obstacles encountered by 20th Century Fox will be reduced. Many, it may be easy to achieve the goal of the head office.

What's more, Twentieth Century Fox's "Elwyn and the Chipmunk 2" was released just a week after "Avatar". Even though the audiences of the two are somewhat different, the ratings of "Avatar" pg-13 and the already displayed images are very It is suitable for people over ten years old. If it is a big hit, "Alwin and the Chipmunk 2" is bound to be impacted.

People can't always succeed, right? Even if those people are called Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron!

Sitting quietly in the chair, Tom Rothman didn’t mean to leave the company. He turned his head and looked out the window. This window is facing Hollywood in the traditional sense. At this time, the premiere of "Avatar" Is it already in progress?

News Corporation secretly instigated so many film critics, I hope it can cause some bad effects on the film...

Although thinking so in his mind, Tom Rothman still thinks in his heart that the group company has made a faint move. The group company’s management is far from Hollywood and the film circle, and seriously overestimated the declining industry of film critics. Those people are right. The cognition of movies has even stayed ten years ago.

This is the biggest difference between News Corporation and Walt Disney. The film and television industry is one of Disney's core industries, but it is only an important part of News Corporation.

in case……

Tom Rothman was suddenly a little scared and a little excited. If the two major media groups can compete...

He has no doubt about this. Ryan Jenkins's character determines that he will never give in.

Standing up and walking to the window, Tom Rothman looked into the distance, where is the Kodak Theater, where "Avatar" premiered.

The Kodak Theater is crowded with people. The scale and excitement of the premiere are no less inferior to the Oscars. Hundreds of famous Hollywood figures have entered the theater. It seems that like ordinary audiences, Hollywood stars also want to be as fast as possible Watch this first giant system in history.

"Can one person really change the whole world? At least from James Cameron, the answer we got is yes."

In the interview area, Ryan and James Cameron are standing together, "Because of this "Avatar", the entire industry will be upgraded to an unprecedented height!"

He and James Cameron are like cooperating partners for many years, working hard to promote the film. They are not worried that they will end up as a laughing stock. The quality of the film is a source of confidence.

Although during this period of time before the release of "Avatar", some strange encounters were indiscriminately bombarded by film critics, but it did not cause too much negative impact on the publicity. After all, that group has indeed declined.

Even if he had some guesses in his mind, Ryan didn't care too much. The fans were much louder than the critics.

Very, very many fans have spontaneously complained for "Avatar" on traditional media and the Internet.

"Looking back at Cameron’s filming history, starting from "The Abyss", to "Terminator 2", and then to "Titanic", the investment amount of blockbuster films has been updated repeatedly, and a large number of film critics think that it will A fiasco at the box office and so on."

"The most typical is "Titanic". At the time, film critics said that Ryan and Cameron were the biggest fools in the world. "Titanic" would be the biggest box office disaster of this century... But after the film was released, these people The collective dumb mouth, the box office of the film ruthlessly shattered their last face, and it also made people fully realize that professional film critics are actually nothing."

"Everyone knows that Cameron is a money-burning machine, but people just have the ability to double the investment money back, and even if they put their own film rewards in, they must make the most perfect effect in their minds! So, The majority of movie fans, there is no need to listen to the outdated film critics chirping, just keep their faith in Ryan and James Cameron, and wait for the "Avatar" to hit the box office once again!"

These words that continue to appear in the media completely reflect the aspirations of the most extensive movie-watching community towards "Avatar".

When he walked to the poster and took a group photo, Ryan saw an interesting scene. Susie Amis and Catherine Biroge were standing next to Cameron, taking pictures with the truck driver without any complaints.

For ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends in Hollywood, this couldn't be more common. This circle is so big, especially the top few floors. There are always those people going back and forth, and they often meet in public.

Ryan is not familiar with Catherine Bilogue, who is in the movie circle, but they nodded each other and walked into the theater with the crew.

The main hall of the Kodak Theater has long been transformed into an imax cinema by imax, and imax has placed more expectations on "Avatar" I hope this super giant system can quickly spread after "Transformers" The global imax3d craze has completely reached its peak.

Sitting in his seat, Ryan didn’t wait long before the film kicked off. Apart from the subtle changes, this film is roughly the same as the one he had seen before. The film is definitely technically a film. This is a huge breakthrough, and the story and plot are still thin, which makes people like Ryan feel helpless.

No matter what meaning James Cameron gave to Namei, in the hearts of people like Ryan, being a human is much better than doing other messy things.

As for the picture and technology of the film, it is not what words can describe at all. Even if the thick and gorgeous rhetoric is piled up, it is not enough to describe the Pandora planet shown in the film.

Having said that, when watching a movie, few people want the protagonist to hang up. After all, that’s where his substitution is. But even if Ryan has watched the sample and sat here watching the actor, he still desperately hopes that he will be The human mech is killed. (To be continued...)
