The Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel was bustling with celebrities and celebrities, and glasses of celebratory champagne were brought from the waiters, who were pouring congratulations and praise in unison, even if some were not optimistic about the amazing superheroes at all.

Michael? Eisner is one of them, and the superhero of Wonder is indeed very distinctive, but has never proven himself on the big screen.

Despite the smile, he took the initiative to ask Avi? Arad sent out congratulations, but what did he think in his heart, only Michael? Eisner himself knew.

Look at the young man standing in the crowd, Michael? Eisner's brow furrowed, although he was not optimistic about the superhero of Marvel, no one dared to ignore his existence.

Over the years, the other party has fully proved its vision in film, even a few acquisitions in business, which can be called a stroke of genius.

Needless to say, Pixar, which has made itself unable to let go of it to this day, even Blue Sky Studio, which was not even an ugly duckling at the beginning, showed strong technical strength in the post-production of "Titanic", which impressed the entire industry.

Remembering Titanic, Michael? Eisner had the urge to be angry, and he was looking forward to a movie that would be a big hit, but it was an unprecedented success.

Whether in private or in public, Michael? Eisner is no longer talking about Ryan like he used to? What will happen to Jenkins in the future, and what will happen to the Marvel Comics, the other party has already created too many miracles, and only God knows if he will continue to be magical.

Besides, there are quite a few people on the board who are now united. Questioning him because of Pixar's relationship with Ryan? Is Jenkins worth it?

It was a celebration reception for the founding of Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Marvel Comics, which did not choose New York as its home base. Instead, Burbank, which was closer to the World Film Center, was acquired in 96 until now, and after more than a year of preparation, this heavyweight department was officially established.

At the same time as the establishment of Marvel Pictures, its first film also entered the stage of imminent start-up, which was "Blade".

This can be regarded as a test of the waters of the marvel comic book hero, as well as a warm-up work. As long as the results of the movie will not be too bad after its release next year, follow-up productions will appear one after another.

Ryan completely handed over the control of the venue to Avi? Arad and Stan? Lee, others are also sent by the faction? Kingsley and Scott? Swift is greeting. He, the major shareholder of absolute control, has become a lot more idle.

Of course, this is only relative, after all, many of the guests who came to celebrate were acquaintances. For example, the executives of several film companies such as Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox.

"Hi. Ryan, why didn't you adapt the script yourself? ”

When he showed up at the reception, a lot of people naturally gathered around and asked Jon? Landau.

"Jon, no one knows their characters better than the amazing team of writers, and I believe them." From the adaptation to the preparation of the film, Ryan only provided some advice. Didn't meddle too much.

It's been more than a year, Avi? There is no doubt about what Arad has shown. Story by Stan? That old guy Li checks, and Marvel Pictures is recruiting mature staff in the industry, so I believe it won't do too badly.

"How about handing over the film to us for distribution?" Jon? Landau asked tentatively.

"Aren't you worried about losing money on the movie?" Ryan laughed.

In fact, because Ryan didn't intervene much, several major studios have little interest in "Blade" and have no intention of investing, to be exact, they are in the wait-and-see phase like everyone else.

"Hey, Jon, you can't be greedy." Grant? Hill ended the conversation with his companion and turned his head, "Paramount has already obtained the rights to distribute Pixar's films, and the amazing superhero should be distributed by Twentieth Century Fox." ”

"Actually, Warners had the same intention." Gerald raised his glass to several people.

"Why not Universal Pictures?" Ron? Meyer took her daughter in her arms and happened to come over.

"Everyone." Ryan raised his glass to the crowd, "Blade is just a work to test the waters, it's hard to say how effective it will be, and if the film is successful, we have a lot of opportunities to work together." ”

Those superhero movies with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, or even close to 200 million US dollars, let alone Marvel Pictures, even if Ryan takes so much liquidity out of his pocket, it will be quite a headache, and if you want to carry out thorough commercial development, cooperation is king.

"Then we wish Marvel Pictures success in this project."

I don't know whose mention it is, everyone has echoed it, and their circle of people has both competition and cooperation, which can be regarded as a loose community of interests.

"The only pity is that we at Universal Pictures did not participate in the investment of "Titanic"." Ron? Meyer also has some emotion, he chose "Future Water World" at the beginning, but he almost stepped down because of it, but fortunately, after reaching a cooperation intention for "Jurassic Park 2" last year, he re-stabilized the situation.

"The $1.6 billion box office is incredible when you think about it." Shirley? Lan Xin also walked over at this time, with a bright smile on his face, "Maybe the final box office of the movie can hit two billion dollars!" ”

Paramount Pictures is one of the investors, and the higher the box office of the movie, the hotter the surrounding sales, the higher their income will naturally be.

"Ryan, can you ask, when are you going to break the record of "Titanic"?" Jennifer? Meyer made a playful joke.

"No, no." Ryan pulled the truck driver out of the crowd, "The movie can be a success, and James has the most credit." ”

"Really? Why don't I feel that way? "James? Cameron's eyes widened, "Then I ask, Ryan, when are you going to pay dividends to me, the person who has the most credit." ”

"Oscar at the latest, I promise, Jim." Ryan deliberately squeezed his eyes and said jokingly, "How about this mention with the little golden man of the best director delivered to you?" ”

"Wow, that's pretty cool."

The crowd laughed again, because Ryan and James? Cameron's tone was obviously joking.

"James, don't you have any plans to make a film lately?"

"No, Titanic consumes too much of my energy, and I need a vacation long enough." James? Cameron rolled his eyes and asked Harvey, who had just spoken? Weinstein, "Harvey, are you going to spend $300 million on a movie?" ”

"You'd better kill me."

"Titanic" was a heavy success, and it was a big hit for James? Although Cameron's sequelae are not as huge as in his previous life, they are not small, after all, the budget for the film production he just ended has reached 250 million US dollars, and how much budget does it need to be drawn for him to be the head of the film?

Besides, the vast majority of people believe that the movie can be successful, and Ryan's appeal plays a rather key role in it, just invite one James? What is Cameron good for?

With an investment of up to hundreds of millions of dollars, once it fails, even the seven major film companies have only one way to go through bankruptcy and reorganization.

A few people were talking and laughing, and at the same time dealing with the people who came to say hello, so many high-level people from film companies, as well as big directors and big producers, gathered around Ryan, it didn't take him to think that it would become the center point of the banquet hall, even if it was just a secluded corner.

"John, Chris, I didn't expect you to accept the invitation too."

The two people who walked hand in hand were none other than John of Pixar? Lassett and Chris from Blue Sky Studios? Wedge.

"yes, let's ask, when will you, the boss, go to the studio to have a look?"

"I'm just a layman, you know." Ryan spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm relieved to have you experts here. ”

"By the way, John, when will Bugs and Toy Story 2 be finished?" Shirley? Lansing asked with concern.

""Bug Squad" will be completed next year, and "Toy Story 2" will be 99 years."

Probably seeing that they had something to talk to Ryan, the people around them gradually spread away, Chris? After Welch waited for no one to be around, he said, "Ryan, we made the animated short film "Bunny Bonnie", which will participate in the competition for this Oscar, and the animated feature film ......."

"Animated feature films?" Ryan pinched his chin and asked curiously, "Do you have a specific plan?" ”

"That's what we intended." Chris? Witch lowered his voice, "A story about prehistoric animals, probably the Ice Age, and humans. ”

"Well, you send me the concrete plan." As a precaution, Ryan still took the insurance measure, "If there is no problem, the funds will be in place, I remember the promise to you." ”

Although the biggest role of the cocktail party is to communicate, Ryan is more around work, collaborative projects, and co-produced films, many of which are the basic intentions reached on such occasions.

For example, in "Mission Impossible", after the casting of the actors, Jenkins Pictures accepted the investment of Paramount and Warner Bros. and will co-produce the movie.

Of course, Ryan will not give up the copyright and the rights related to the sequel.

Also, "Blade" also finalized the main cast, and they also attended tonight's drinking party.

The male lead is still a black man, but he is not the one in his previous life, but superhero movies, as long as the actor is not too outrageous, in fact, it doesn't matter who he replaces, this kind of movie belongs to the most typical role achievement actor.

There is also a movement director, also from Hong Kong, Ryan didn't say much, just shook hands with the man surnamed Zhen.

The heroine made Ryan's eyes shine, this is not the famous 'trouble' lady in Hollywood in her previous life, known as an expert in couple breakup. (To be continued......)
