In the fitness room of the villa, after the routine workout, Ryan was shirtless, standing opposite George, with whom he had been learning some simple self-defense techniques for a while.

Ryan moved, like an underage cheetah, and lunged at George, who turned and gave way to his lunge, grabbed the boy's arm, and threw him on the thick sponge cushion with a standard big back throw.

"Come again!" Ryan stood up with a carp, and there was a faint appearance of abdominal muscles in his lower abdomen, obviously transforming into a man.

"Alright, Ryan." George stopped him and persuaded, "Your body is developing, and exercising too much is not beneficial. ”

"Okay then." He had no choice but to put away his fists and staggered towards the locker room.

The reason why he learned self-defense skills is not that he wants to kill all sides in the future, but just wants to be more sure of escaping when encountering danger and being chased by paparazzi fans, and there is no harm in being flexible, isn't it? What's more, some of the films he will appear in Jihua in the future will also need such skills.

Besides, what he learned from George was nothing more than some self-defense skills taught in the Marine Corps.

After taking a good shower and changing into dry clothes, Ryan came to the door of the villa, George had already been waiting here in his car, and the place they were going to today was Disney.

Ryan had already asked Kingsley to hand over the script of "The Lion King" to Disney, which also included a stack of set drawings and scores, and at his behest, Kingsley negotiated a sky-high contract.

Animation is at the heart of Disney, and even if Ryan wanted to invest in it, they wouldn't allow anyone else to do what they do best.

Ryan simply offered a sky-high price, he wanted a 10% share of "The Lion King", which is not a share of the North American box office, but a share of all the revenue generated by "The Lion King", including box office, peripherals, licensing, videotapes and soundtracks, etc., which can be described as a lion's mouth.

Think about it, in the previous life, this movie only grossed close to 800 million US dollars, and the original soundtrack was a mess, second only to "Bodyguard", as well as various dolls, comics, animated dramas, cultural shirts, and so on.

Later, the movie was also moved to the stage of Broadway, causing a huge sensation.

All in all, the revenue generated by "The Lion King" is absolutely astronomical.

Disney naturally won't agree, but they know that Ryan is asking for a sky-high price, and then it's time for them to pay back on the spot.

The two sides talked for half a month, and finally with the intervention of Michael Eisner, the two sides took a step back, and Ryan only took a 5% share, but after the voice change period ended, he sang "Love Unlimited Tonight" or another song, and according to the conditions, dubbed an important character in the film.

The Audi 90 soon arrived in Burbank, and after greeting the front desk, Ryan headed straight to the animation studio, where he had come today to discuss with the hand painters how to perfect the animal characters.

Although he drew more than a dozen main characters, his drawing skills were limited after all, and it was impossible for colored pencil sketches to fully reflect the appearance of these characters.

It's just that before he entered the hall of the animation studio, he heard the crowd inside, which seemed to be very lively, he hurried a few steps in, looked up, and was so frightened that he took three steps back.

George kept following him, thinking that something had happened, and while blocking Ryan behind him, his hand subconsciously touched into the suit.

"It's fine!" Ryan settled down, Disney's hand-drawn artists are a bunch of crazy people, and if it weren't for the rise of 3D computer animation, 2D animation wouldn't have gradually declined.

It's a pity that Pixar's jishu is changing with each passing day......

Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about this, after all, Jishu's progress is not something anyone can stop.

As for what exactly was in the hall, it would scare the daring guy out of his mind, and it was simple, there was a real adult male lion and a young lion inside, not the kind in an iron cage.

Of course, the two lions are separated by a considerable distance, and the keeper next to them seems to be guarded.

Even though they look tame with chains around their necks, the devil knows when they're going to go wild with a beast.

The male lion seemed to sense that someone had joined the ranks of the observers, and suddenly shook his head, shook his long sideburns, and looked very majesticly like the king of beasts, and then looked over to where Ryan was standing.

"Wow~"

The dull lion's roar sounded, making Ryan have an unstoppable toothache, Disney was too crazy.

However, the little lion looks very good, it looks a little like a big cat, and the cute appearance is cute, if the appearance can be cartoonish, it really has the demeanor of Simba when he was a child.

"That...... George, how about we get a lion cub to keep in the villa? Ryan was clearly overthinking.

"Ryan, are you sure Miss Kidman will agree?" George dispelled his unscrupulous thoughts with a single word.

Ryan scratched his head, and said in his heart that when he had money, he would go to the Caribbean to buy a small island, and then not only raise lions, but also tigers...... Well, get a few more jackals and cheetahs and let them fight to the death on the island for an animal version of The Hunger Games......

"Hi, Ryan." Don Hahn, the film's executive producer, walked over and interrupted his reverie.

"Hello, Don." Ryan greeted him, pointed to the lion and asked, "What is this going to do?" ”

"The studio hired lions from the circus." Don Hahn seems to have been accustomed to this kind of scene for a long time, "If you want to find inspiration for the painter, do you want to go and see it?" ”

After being reborn, Ryan has always been as far away as he can from any dangerous activities, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just look at it from a distance." ”

He looked around, and indeed there were quite a few painters with easels standing around, and all he heard was their discussions.

Ryan understands that this industry is an industry that requires extreme imagination, and the more relaxed the working atmosphere, the better.

"Ryan, are you interested in going to Africa?" Don Hahn joked that the crew would soon be going to Africa to collect the wind and presumably stay there for a while.

"Forget it, I still have to go to school."

Ryan shook his head busily, in his eyes, Africa was synonymous with disease, chaos and war, and he didn't want to go there.

It has to be said that these painters have a strong professional spirit, they not only patiently observed every movement of the lion, but also took the initiative to walk over, accompanied by the trainer, and started a close communication with the lion.

Ryan asked himself if he didn't have this kind of dedication, and as he often discussed with Natalie, art was more in his eyes for money and honor.

Perhaps no one understands this story better than him, and no one knows the character's character better than him, but after borrowing from the design he drawn, it didn't take long for these hand-drawn artists to settle on the characters of Mushafa, Simba, Nana, Scar, and Sangi.

In Ryan's eyes, these characters are at least 90% similar to their previous lives, which is enough for an animated movie.

For hand-drawn animation, determining the character image and habitual movements can greatly speed up the progress, the previous Disney spent a lot of time just to determine the animal image in it, out of confidence in Ryan, with the strong intervention of Michael Eisner, the animation department suspended other projects and devoted most of Liliang to "The Lion King".

However, Disney dared to suspend several projects such as "Aladdin" and put all the artists into "The Lion King", which shows that his golden sign is gradually shining and can influence major film companies.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

Ryan has been working hard to establish a loose alliance of interests, tie more Shili to his chariot of interests, lay the foundation for his and Nicole's future development, and use his influence as much as possible to protect the people he wants to protect at this stage when he is still very weak.

In the new semester, Ryan officially entered the fifth grade of his learning career, speaking of which, he is the oldest person in the grade, most elementary school students in the United States start their primary school career at the age of six, because of his experience, he entered the primary school in London at the age of seven.

Natalie is a year younger than Ryan, but she is in the same grade as him, which is where she often laughs at him, but fortunately, he has all his grades so far, and she can't make any excuses in this regard.

At school, Ryan spent almost all of his time writing, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire he had to get out as soon as possible, and the publisher's call to urge her to change was about to blow up Ms. Kinsley's handbag.

Until now, he can have the current results, in addition to the accumulation of the previous life and the talent of the present life, hard work is also an important factor, since the goal is set, except for the occasional relaxation, Ryan has hardly given himself time to play.

Ryan also knew that after he finished writing, the publisher would have to review the layout, hype and publicity, arrange for publication and enter sales channels, etc., and it would take time.

As his fame grew, and all of his works were published by Alien Press, a small publishing house under the name of Alien Magazine, the market value of which has increased dramatically, and it is said that publishing giants such as Paper Books, Random House, and Hill Group are eyeing it, and it is likely to start a takeover war.

It's not that those big publishing houses haven't done Ryan's work and want him to switch to their name, but Ryan knows that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix, he is the author of the biggest name of "Alien", and they will tilt all their resources towards him, not to mention that the current contracts and royalties are at the top of the industry.

Even if they switch to their own, will they give more royalty shares? Besides, "Alien" has always done an excellent job of hype and publicity, otherwise it wouldn't have the sales it has today.

In short, no matter how disturbed Shijie outside was, Ryan hid in the campus and villa, and began a short life of ignoring what was going on outside the window and only writing magic books.
