"In the future, the profitability of the film box office will be lower and lower, and the small cost of winning the high box office will only become a special case, and the bulk of the film revenue will come from various derivative commodities such as peripherals, discs, and video tape copyrights.

In the center of the lawn, there are many well-known people in the film industry, and Ryan is talking eloquently in the middle of the crowd, "Therefore, if movies, especially commercial films, want to attract attention, want to attract widespread attention, and want to make breakthroughs in special effects and post-production, it is imperative to invest in large productions, which is the future development trend of Hollywood." ”

"But if the film fails, the production company will be in big trouble." Spielberg interjected, "Maybe even go bankrupt!" ”

"So, Stephen." Ryan shook his fingers, "Co-production will become the mainstream production model, and multiple film companies will share the benefits while taking the risks together, which is the safest measure." ”

"Come on, Ryan." Bob? Weinstein joked, "The safest measure is for you to participate in investment and creation." ”

His words caused a round of laughter around him, and although it was just a joke, it was agreed by many people.

"No, no~ Bob." Ryan put on a rare show of caution and modesty, "No one will always succeed, audience tastes are the most elusive thing, maybe one day I will make a big mistake." ”

Then, he added, "Think about what the consequences would be if Titanic failed. I'm sure there must have been quite a few people here who would have thrown Jim and me into the Mexican sea to feed the fish. ”

"The problem is, "Titanic" was not only a success. There was also an unprecedented success. "Shirley? Lansing expressed a different opinion, "The global box office is about to reach $1.9 billion, not counting the peripherals and subsequent derivatives, this profit is also very considerable." ”

"So, we should all work together and make a final effort to not only leave a huge box office record. And ...... at the Oscars," Ryan made a gesture that you understand.

Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox are old film giants, although they are inferior to Harvey in terms of public relations. Weinstein is flexible, but he has a deep heritage.

"I'm sorry. Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Following Cameron's reminding gaze, Ryan quickly found the girl standing on the periphery of the crowd, and walked over amid everyone's smiles.

Just like in the past. Natalie's dress is still simple. A checkered shirt and plain casual trousers, his arms folded and his chest were staring at him tightly.

"Hi, Nat." Ryan pulled her up and walked towards the less crowded area.

"You're always so busy, Ryan." Natalie's voice was cold with a hint of complaint.

"I'm the host of the pie duì and need to greet the guests."

What are you talking about, Colin? Hanks walked over, "Ryan. The outline and brief of the script I received, the story is somewhat ......"

He scratched his head.

"Something inexplicable?" Ryan laughed.

"Nothing. I believe in your vision and strength. "Colin? Hanks' eyes drifted over Natalie, and he turned to leave, "So be it, Ryan, and leave you alone." ”

"Tom? Hanks' eldest son. ”

Seeing Natalie's curious eyes, Ryan briefly explained, "I thought of a story about horror films, and he was the male lead. ”

"The debt you owe for the rest of your life on a desert island?" Natalie thought of the script in her mailbox.

"Hmm, it's better to owe less of such a thing as a human debt."

Before they knew it, the two walked out of the garden, and Ryan casually asked, "Aren't you with Scarlett?" ”

Natalie didn't speak, just turned her small head and looked straight at Ryan, her brown eyes full of meaning.

"Well, I apologize, Nat."

Turning into the palm grove, Ryan made an apologetic gesture, "I didn't mean to ignore you, you know, I've been too busy lately." ”

"Busy coaxing those women in the newspaper with sweet words?" Despite the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Natalie couldn't help but give a small stab.

"When did the tabloid words be believed?" Ryan waved his hand helplessly and argued, "PR, script, school, new movie ......"

Listening to the endless talk around her and the careful explanation, the smile on the corner of Natalie's mouth became thicker and thicker, and the unhappiness in her heart became weaker and weaker.

"I can't leave Pai Duì for a long time." Ryan gestured to his watch, pulled Natalie up and walked back.

"Isn't there another owner here?"

Thinking of the tall figure who greeted the female guests and the younger generation as the hostess, Natalie always felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if something was wrong.

"Nicole?"

The gaze deliberately swept over Natalie's face, the girl's brown eyes were as deep as water, Ryan couldn't see anything, and deliberately tentatively said, "Nat, you can also be the hostess here as long as you want." ”

"Someday it will." Natalie's voice was extremely low, as if to say it to herself, "But not now. ”

It seemed that he heard it, and it didn't seem to hear it, Ryan quickly changed the subject, "Listen to George, you're about to go on location?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe you're going to the desert of Morocco, and you're going to visit the class, right? Although he used a question, the girl's gaze did not allow him to refuse.

"Of course." Ryan nodded without hesitation.

"Would you like someone to show me around your new home?"

As soon as she walked into the garden where the pie was held, someone approached her, and Natalie had no choice but to point to the huge main building.

"Lisa, take Nat for a visit."

Ryan found the housekeeper, and after they left, he stretched out his hand to the person in front of him, "I'm sorry, Robert, I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's okay, Ryan." Robert? Zemeckis waved his hand casually, "The script is excellent, even if there is no picture, the soul in the words alone has the power to move people's hearts." ”

"So you agreed." Ryan took two drinks from a passing adaptation and handed them over, "I've been waiting for your reply, Robert." ”

"Can I refuse?" Robert raised his glass, took another sip of red wine, and laughed.

"If you don't mind if I mail you bullets."

Strictly speaking, in addition to the studio, this film only needs two main locations, one is the island, and the other Ryan is ready to find the wrongdoer.

The whole movie is almost advertising for FedEx, plus their own reputation, don't worry that they don't pay sponsorship fees, if the price can't be negotiated, it's very easy to do, there is more than one famous courier company in North America, you can find FedEx's competitors to talk about.

However, Ryan believes that with his appeal at the box office and in movies, FedEx will definitely be happy to cooperate.

After all, except for the accidental plane crash, their image is very positive throughout the movie, which is a great opportunity for the company to do publicity.

Wandering through the crowd of pai duì, Ryan constantly greets people, handsome and resolute face, polite manners, all show outstanding temperament and good upbringing, coupled with amazing talent and huge wealth behind it, is definitely the focus of most people's attention.

After a rough turn, Ryan let out a sigh of relief, even though he had long since adapted to the American style of pie duì life, this kind of social interaction still couldn't make him feel relaxed, especially after pouring a lot of juice and soda into his stomach all the way, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it is known that you can't drink alcohol, otherwise you will definitely get drunk.

Just sitting at the table and wanting to take a break, Scott? Swift walked over suddenly, "So you're here, Ryan. ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"Allen wants Blizzard Entertainment to go public as much as possible."

Probably knowing that Ryan is a game blind person, Scott explained a little, "Blizzard Entertainment has several game development plans in the future, which require a large amount of money, and if we continue to inject capital, the shares in the hands of Allen and others will be further diluted......"

"How long will it take?" Ryan rubbed his forehead, the catastrophe of the IT industry was coming.

"In fact, we have been preparing for the IPO, and it is estimated that it will not take more than a year." Scott looked confident.

"Okay, you can discuss it and see how to deal with it." Ryan kicked things back to the investment team anyway.

For Blizzard Entertainment, Ryan remembers most clearly the game he once played, and vaguely knew that Blizzard Entertainment was later acquired by a company, and eventually became a game giant with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, and wanted to adapt that game into a movie.

I wonder if they succeeded? Ryan is curious, after all, there are too few successful examples of game adaptations into movies.

Not long after Scott left, Pie? Jin Sili came over with someone again, the other party had yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, and he was a Chinese in terms of temperament alone, and Ryan had seen him in other banquets before.

I don't seem to have sent out an invitation, could it be someone invited by Jenkins Films?

Although he held a family party, he was actually a social party, and Jenkins Pictures united with Paramount, and now has a large amount of business on the other side, so it is reasonable to invite the other party over.

According to the news that "Titanic" is ravaging the film market on the other side, he has experienced this scene in his previous life, and it must only be more popular now.

"Mr. Ye, please be seated." Ryan looked at the man behind him, "Who is this?" ”

"This is Mr. Wang, from Sanlian Publishing House in China, and he came all the way to find you, Ryan." Send? Kim Sili made a quick introduction.

"Looking for me?"

After a few people greeted each other and sat around the small round table, Ryan couldn't help but wonder a little, what were they looking for themselves? (To be continued......)
