Hollywood is not only the Hollywood that belongs to the entertainment industry, even if the vast majority of Hollywood celebrities do not like the federal government very much, and even some liberal voices often appear, but they cannot change the important role it plays in the US globalization strategy.

The big production from Hollywood not only creates huge economic benefits, but also spreads the mainstream values of the American style to the world, which is something that is clear to almost the whole world.

In the bilateral negotiations between China and the United States on the WTO agreement, film and television products from Hollywood are also a part that cannot be ignored, especially about the number and schedule of imported films, which has become one of the most prominent points of disagreement between the two sides.

Behind this, you can see the shadow of the Hollywood group, no one is a fool, "Titanic" has achieved great success here, and even caused a sensation, although the profit is limited, but from the day of Hollywood's rise, these big groups have cultivated one overseas market after another with one big production, and conquered one country after another.

How can a market with a population of more than one billion, a rapidly developing economy, and an extremely backward film industry be ignored by them?

Of all Hollywood's larger studios, Paramount Pictures and Jenkins Pictures are undoubtedly at the forefront, and were the first to set up branches in China, and although Sino-US relations are now close to freezing, normal business exchanges between the two sides have not been interrupted.

Despite their competition, the major studios and media conglomerates have a common interest in developing new markets, and Ryan, including Ryan, has done no less funding and pressure than any other capital group, and what they want is simply that the federal government can negotiate more for Hollywood in bilateral negotiations.

"True Lies", "Jurassic Park", "Titanic", "Saving Private Ryan", and even "Desert Island Afterlife", which Ryan thinks hit the streets, are all in the film market here. It swept away more than 10 million dollars at the box office, and this is just the beginning, after all, there are too few screens here.

All this shows the huge potential of this market.

The federal government and the nation need Hollywood to spread their mainstream values to the rest of the world, and Hollywood needs to use the country's strength and economic strength to develop and nurture its own market, which is no different from other industries.

Of course, Ryan doesn't care about the needs of the federal government and the United States, what he wants is very simple, that is, profit.

No one knows better than him how great the potential of this film market is, in another ten years' time. It can even be compared to the North American film market!

After years of hard work and a continuous bombardment of sophisticated productions, the market is moving faster than in previous lives, in the direction that Ryan envisioned.

As for whether it will destroy the film industry here, he is not worried at all, the closure will never bring development, besides, although a certain big scissors often do something inexplicable, but to a large extent. It also protects the film industry here.

In addition, Ryan also asked people to actively contact Trifecta Press, wanting the Harry Potter series to be published here as soon as possible, even if it was pirated everywhere at that time, he didn't care. As long as the entire series has an impact, making money is not a problem at all.

By the way, there is also an Asian character in the Harry Potter series, for the sake of the marketplace of this series. Should I find a girl star from here?

However, copyright protection here is indeed a big problem, and derivatives that can account for the majority of the film industry's revenue in North America. Over here......

"Ryan, why don't you complain about them?" Taylor's little head was full of doubts.

This is by the West Lake, when they were playing, they passed by a video store, Taylor ran in curiously, and then saw a large number of "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park" CDs, with the little guy's perennial experience in the film company, it was easy to tell that it was a pirated copy without authorization.

Originally, she also wanted to question the boss of Zhengda Guangming's sale, but Ryan asked George to take him out.

"It's all our money!" The little one was clearly poisoned by Ryan's thoughts.

"Okay, dear, this is not North America." Ryan could only rub her head helplessly, this kind of thing can't be explained at all, there is a long distance between the two sides of the understanding of the copyright of cultural products, and the self in the previous life didn't grow up watching piracy?

"You should mail them a lawyer's letter!" Taylor received an elite education and had a vague idea of a lot of basic common sense.

"And then?" Ryan shook his head and led her towards Su Di, "A time-consuming and labor-intensive multinational lawsuit? ”

"Then no one cares about it here?" Even if she was being pulled by Ryan, she still looked back at the video store from time to time.

"Yes." Every year there is a special day.

Retrieving Taylor's head, Ryan asked, "Want to row?" ”

"You?" Taylor visibly cringed, "I don't want to sink to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish." ”

After a circle along the Su Causeway, the sun gradually rose to its head, and Taylor had already drunk the second cup of cold drink, stuck out his tongue and said, "Let's go back, I'm hungry, Ryan!" ”

"Well, what do you want to eat? Authentic Chinese cuisine? ”

"By the way, Ryan, I inquired with Chen yesterday and said that there is a ...... here."

After getting into the car, Taylor couldn't help scratching his head, took out the note book in his bag, looked at it, and then said, "It should be called Lou Wai Lou, Chen said that it was a store that had been open for more than 100 years, and the food was delicious." ”

The building outside the building? Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it must be outside the building.

Louwailou is located at the foot of the lonely mountain by the West Lake, probably came early, and there are not many guests here.

asked for a two-table private room near the lake, Ryan ordered signature dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, Huatong chicken and Dongpo stewed pork, and was afraid that Taylor and others would not be used to it, so he asked for a few meals close to Western.

As soon as he finished ordering the food, George's phone rang, and he handed it to Ryan, but it was Chen Jiazheng calling.

"Ryan, where are you? The results of the questionnaire are out! ”

"Outside the building, let's have lunch together."

About half an hour later, Chen Jiazheng hurried over, still holding a document bag in his hand.

"Sit, Chen!" Ryan gestured to the chair across from him.

"Is it hot, Chen?" Taylor grinned and poured him a glass of cold juice.

"Thank you!" After he drank most of it in one gulp, he handed the file bag to Ryan, "The results of the questionnaire sent out last month have been counted." ”

"You eat first, and leave me alone." Ryan opened the file bag to himself.

In order to grasp the first-line data as a reference, he teamed up with Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner, and at the beginning of this summer, he jointly funded the joint, hired relevant research companies, and distributed more than 200,000 questionnaires about movies to colleges and universities here.

No matter in any country or region, young people are the main consumer group of the film market, especially for purely commercial productions.

The survey is mainly aimed at the first-tier cities, which have far more theaters and screens than average, and are also the cities where Jenkins Film has introduced the most films to the box office and the fastest growing.

Among the nearly 200,000 questionnaires returned, nearly 70 percent of college students said that as long as they were interested in a movie, they would choose to go to the theater to watch it, and the ticket price and the excitement of the film were the top factors they considered.

And more than two-thirds of them will give preference to films from Hong Kong and Hollywood, believing that there is a clear gap between domestic films and the former two.

Because of Ryan's involvement, many big productions that were not introduced here in his previous life have eliminated a lot of sensitive content from the time he wrote it, plus some targeted work, and finally appeared in this land.

For example, the "Jurassic Park" series.

With the most advanced film technology and precision machining, there is no opponent here, and the only opponent, Hong Kong movies are only one step away from death.

This market is about to open its doors.

"George, when you go back, send one to all your partners." Ryan handed the bag to George.

If you want to really mature the market, Jenkins Films can't do it even if it doubles its size tenfold, which is in the interest of the whole of Hollywood.

Of course, it is one of the main markets for him to make profits in the future.

"How does it taste?" Ryan's attention returned to the table.

"Weird." Taylor grunted.

Obviously, she only tasted most of the dishes, probably not used to the taste, so she never touched them again.

"My dear, didn't you say you wanted to taste the delicacies of the whole world? That's not going to work. Ryan tasted the pure Chinese food that he had not seen for a long time.

"But you also said that every country and nation has its own eating habits and characteristics." The little guy said, "For example, Chen, when you first ate butter bread, did you think it was a rare delicacy in the world?" ”

"Of course not!" Chen Jiazheng smiled and shook his head.

"Like this dish." Taylor was referring to the West Lake vinegar fish, "George didn't touch either." ”

George shrugged his shoulders and was silent, clearly not wanting to get involved.

"Okay, we'll have brioche for dinner." Ryan helped the little girl wipe the food scraps off her face, "It's always okay, right?" ”

After watching Ang Lee's filming progress and getting the results of the questionnaire, Ryan's work on this trip was completed, and after taking Taylor for two days, he was ready to return to Los Angeles.

Because The Matrix is about to premiere.

In the last half a year or so, Harvey? Weinstein all but disappeared from Hollywood's sight, and he entered the editing room with the Wachowski brothers, taking advantage of the lure of high remuneration to squeeze all the post-production staff.

Although it was co-produced with Jenkins Films, strictly speaking, it was also the first film after the establishment of Weinstein Pictures, and it played an extremely important role in the future development of the entire company. (To be continued......)
