Chapter 853: Despicable Me

The Hawaiian sun is always so hot, shining on the sea in front of the crescent moon beach, the waves of the water are shining, it seems that the year will not change, Ryan swings his feet hard, in the slight sound of water, rushes out of the sea, reaches out to wipe the water droplets on his face, and swings his arms to swim towards the beach.

Walking on the soft sand, he came directly to a huge sun umbrella, Charlize in a swimsuit was wearing sunglasses, lying on a beach chair and reading the latest newspapers, his relaxed expression looked particularly comfortable.

After wiping the water drops from his hair and upper body with a towel, Ryan sat down on another beach chair next to him.

"Why don't you go for a swim?" Ryan asked Charlize.

"The sun is too strong."

It's the hottest time of the year in Hawaii, and Charlize tilted his head to look outside at the golden grains of sand that were shining in the sun, "I don't want to get sun spots." ”

She turned her head to look at the fruit bowl on the table next to her, "I want to eat pineapple." ”

Directly moving the small table in front of him, Ryan took a special fruit knife and a fresh pineapple, skillfully peeled off the skin, cut it into a slightly larger pudding, put it in another tray, and inserted thin toothpicks on it.

"Ah......h

Turning his head to Ryan's side, Charlize opened his mouth.

Gently pinching her nose, Ryan picked up a small piece of pineapple and put it in the mouth of the South African diamond, and after she cooperated with the bite, she pulled out a toothpick and threw it into the trash can at the back.

"It tastes so different." Charles showed a look of enjoyment, and Ryan brought another piece of pineapple to her mouth, saying, "Because it's a love pineapple." ”

Charlize bit off the pineapple first, then took off his sunglasses, put them on the table with the newspaper, and stretched his long lazy waist, "Time flies so fast." It's not completely relaxed yet, and the week is about to pass. ”

"We'll come back when we have time." Ryan put down the fruit bowl, put his head in his hands, and lay down on the beach chair, "This is our private territory. ”

"I decided." Charlize lay on his side, facing Ryan, "When I go back, go and buy a small island in the Caribbean to use as my private territory." ”

Ryan laughed and didn't say much. With Charlize's current net worth of hundreds of millions, buying a private island is just a breeze, and after years of development, CT Natural Treasure can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits every year.

The two were lying on the beach chairs, chatting without a word, and the topic gradually turned to this summer file.

"I just read the newspaper." Charlize picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped to the entertainment section, "DreamWorks Animation Studios' 'Despicable Me' was well received and did well at the box office in its first week. ”

"How much is the North American box office?" Ryan took Charlize's sunglasses. Wearing it on his face, South African Diamond couldn't help but glare at him, "62.58 million US dollars, presumably Jerry Ford?" Katzenberg would be pleased. ”

"Hmm." Ryan nodded.

Compared to the box office of the film. Disney is more interested in the surroundings, how powerful the Minions are, and Ryan, who has experienced it, knows it clearly.

"It's rare to see a movie with an antagonist as the main character." Charlize muttered, "I didn't expect to be successful." ”

"Don't forget. My dear," Ryan reminded, "the film is not based on the sins of the villains. ”

Charlize hasn't seen the film. couldn't help but be a little curious, Ryan simply explained, "The evil aura and earth-shattering conspiracy of the protagonist at the beginning of the film are actually more of a foreshadowing for his hurried work in front of the three orphans. Under the fierce appearance of adults, the overwhelm and ugliness in front of children to make jokes is already a tried and tested model in Hollywood. ”

"The character ends with the protagonist becoming a hero in his own right, and he slowly changes and enthusiastically embraces this change, from a guy who jokes about the neighbor's dog to a man who redefines what it means to be a family, a true hero, and it is this heroic transformation that allows him to correct the mistakes he once made."

Hearing Ryan's words, remembering the script outline and character design drafts he had read, Charlize nodded, "So, the film is still full of coming-of-age themes, a villain who appeared with crazy planning bizarre conspiracy, grew up as a father, and became a superhero, right?" ”

"That's right." Ryan gave her a thumbs up, "So, 'Despicable Me' is just a very common Hollywood story, and its script is mediocre at best, but the Minions saved the day." ”

You must know that when he handed over the first draft of "Despicable Me" to DreamWorks Animation Studios, the focus was on the image and setting of the Minions, and it is no exaggeration to say that without those Minions, "Despicable Me" would not be much different from other animated feature films mass-produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios.

"Despicable Me" can be regarded as a typical vulgar story and the success of the Hollywood model.

As the time approached noon, the temperature outside was rising, and the beach was noticeably hot, Ryan and Charlize returned to the dressing room, showered and changed, and took the battery car directly back to the private estate not far away, and the two hid in the cool bedroom, enjoying the last afternoon of the holiday.

However, as the two of them extended their vacation, more and more people called, and their mobile phones would ring from time to time, although it was inevitable that they would be discouraged when doing certain things, but there were some things that did require the two to make decisions.

Fortunately for Disney, the day-to-day management work is in the hands of the management team, but the final decision of CT Nature's Treasure has always been in Charlize's own hands, and in recent years, the scale of CT Nature's Treasure has expanded rapidly, with Ryan's foundation providing interest-free loans, and there is no financial problem, although like all companies, the management will hold a certain amount of shares, Charlize has an absolute controlling stake.

Today, CT Nature's Treasure is not publicly available, but Wall Street values it at more than $1 billion.

For a traditional industrial company that has only been established for a few years, this is nothing short of a miracle.

In fact, Charlize is also very clear that without the strong support of Ryan and Disney, CT would have used the huge Disney platform in its development, and the current CT natural treasure would not be able to talk about it.

This is also the result of Ryan's deliberate guidance, as his status in Hollywood becomes more prominent, the people around him will definitely develop with him, and if he falls behind too much, the differences between the two sides will naturally occur.

"That's right......"

Going to the bathroom to wash off the traces left by intimacy, Charlize casually put on a nightdress and sat cross-legged on the sofa, "When will the animated feature film dubbed by Alison be released?" ”

"This year's Christmas stalls." Ryan wrapped himself in a bath towel, then walked out of the bathroom and sat down across from Charlize, "When the summer season is over, the publicity will start one after another." ”

From the beginning of the preparation to the completion of the final production, "Ice and Snow Adventure" has taken more than four years, and it is also the harvest season.

"Alison took $10 million in dividends from CT's account." Charlize continued.

"Hmm......" Ryan nodded, "she's going to buy a mansion in Malibu." ”

"She and Scarlett ......" Charlize immediately thought of the other side.

"Yes." Ryan couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows, "They're ready to be official." ”

"Oh God." Charlize couldn't help but cover his forehead.

"It's more than that."

Just like seeing his sister's brother who is about to get married, Ryan can't tell what it feels like in his heart, "Alison also revealed to me some time ago that she plans to propose to Scarlett......"

Hearing Ryan's words, Charlize's face became even more exciting.

In fact, Ryan was also a little surprised, he didn't think that Taylor would suddenly return to normal one day, after all, girls' feelings always change back and forth.

Of course, Taylor is an adult, and he won't interfere.

Time passed quickly, and the next morning, Ryan and Charlize returned to Los Angeles by private jet, and in the sweltering heat, the summer season of 2010 gradually came to an end.

There is no difference from previous years, the theme of this summer file is still called Disney production, and several projects focused on Walt Disney have achieved success.

In August, "Alice in Wonderland", which was still dangling in the single-digit theaters in North America, completely bid farewell to the global film market, and this 3D wave of "Avatar" followed the trend and achieved great success, attracting a large number of fans into theaters with near-realistic 3D effects, and finally harvesting $1,089.72 billion at the global box office.

"The Avengers", which was released in early May, is also nearing the end of its screening, with less than 300 theaters left in North America, and the single-day box office can only be said to be better than nothing, but the $612.45 million and $1,697.85 million won in North America and the world respectively, have firmly occupied the third place in film history, and even the final global box office will inevitably exceed the $1.7 billion mark.

Then there is "Toy Story 3", when the film was released worldwide for two months, the North American box office officially exceeded $400 million, and the global box office easily reached $1.05 billion, although this is not the final box office result, but it is enough to make "Toy Story 3" the number one animated feature film in history.

Nearly eight months into 2010, North American media and industry professionals look back to see that three films have grossed more than $400 million in North America and a landmark $1 billion worldwide.

And "Alice in Wonderland", "The Avengers" and "Toy Story 3", the three movies, are all produced by Walt Disney, and the box office hit of the same as the film, as well as the super sales of peripheral products, after several years of mergers, integration and development, Walt Disney finally ushered in the moment of super explosion.

Walt Disney, under Ryan's control, is now the world's No. 1 media group! (To be continued......)
