Chapter 633: Black and white is the first choice
After the ceremony, Ryan also held a formal reception dinner, except for those who left because of urgency, most of them came to the grand ballroom in the clubhouse, sitting around dozens of tables, enjoying exquisite Western meals to the soothing music of the band.
No one would eat a hase on this occasion, everyone was just a superficial taste, and they would rather spend their time socializing than wasting their time on catering.
"Mr. Jenkins."
Soon after the banquet began, the three officials from the United Nations walked up to Ryan's table and said, "Thank you for your contribution to the children of Africa!" ”
"It should."
Shaking their outstretched hands in turn, Ryan politely said, "Just do your best." ”
"We've got a flight back to New York."
The man in the lead said, "I had to take my leave." ”
"It's okay."
Waving to the back, John walked over, Ryan whispered a few words to him, and he walked out of the ballroom with three UN officials.
All the people present today will receive a few souvenirs specially ordered by the foundation, which are not expensive, but only a few dozen dollars, which can be regarded as a thank you for their support to this foundation.
Like all high-end pies, the dinner inevitably becomes a social one, with a spacious ballroom filled with people walking around and back and forth between tables, taking the opportunity to expand their network.
The table at which Ryan sat was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's relationship, and people came over one after another to talk a few words, and as the master and necessary etiquette, he was also patiently entertaining.
"Little Guy ......"
James? Cameron sat down across from Ryan with a big grin and asked Taylor, "I heard you're about to release a record?" ”
"It's going to take a while." Taylor politely said to Susie who came with Cameron? Amis beckoned and continued, "To go with Disney's new movie." ”
"Can you tell which movie it is?" James? Cameron looked over and Ryan had just shaken hands with the person next to him. Turning around, he said, "That movie based on a young adult novel, The Hunger Games." ”
"Filming is going to start?" Nicole's eyes flashed next to her and she asked.
"August ......," Taylor took the initiative to pick up the topic, "to start shooting in Australia." ”
"That's right, Jim." Ryan suddenly thought of James? Cameron has been in charge of the equipment company, "How's the progress on IMAX?" ”
"The layout of the first phase is underway." James? Cameron took a glass of red wine from the waiter and raised his glass to Nicole, "There are an average of 2 IMAX theaters in first-tier cities in the United States, but there is a lack of sufficient film sources. ”
"And." He said again. "In my opinion, the IMAX film produced by the conversion in the later stage is not very ideal, especially the 3D effect."
"Then why don't you shoot one yourself?"
Stephen next to him? Spielberg's voice, after he greeted Ryan and the others, also sat down, "James, you have always been a leader in new Hollywood technology. ”
"Because Ryan, a stingy investor, hasn't made up his mind yet." James? Cameron tilted his head at Ryan, who shook his head and said, "I said that." Jim, if you need it, three hundred million dollars for the production I can issue it right away. ”
"The time is not yet ripe." James? Cameron, like Ryan, understands that "the number of screens in 3D and IMAX is too small. ”
In recent years. North American cinema operators are also looking for new sources of growth, and 3D and IMAX theaters, which can legitimately increase ticket prices, are undoubtedly a very suitable choice, although they are far from being popular. However, most of the mainstream cinema companies have included 3D cinemas in their next plans.
"Stephen ......"
After a few people chatted about it, Ryan looked at Spielberg. "I'm planning to launch Jurassic Park 3 next year, and I plan to use 3D technology to make zuò, are you interested?"
"Use a hugely influential film to strongly promote the popularization of 3D technology." James? Cameron suddenly said, "That's a great idea!" ”
"Ahem......" Spielberg smiled slightly awkwardly, "Ryan, I'm preparing for "War of the Worlds", and it may be difficult to get out in a short period of time. ”
"It's okay." Ryan said nonchalantly, "Disney can wait for you." ”
"That'...... I'll talk about it when I'm done with War of the Worlds. Spielberg cupped his eyes, "Is that okay?" ”
"Absolutely."
Spielberg's life is not easy now, "Happiness Terminal" can be said to be his worst film at the box office in recent years, and the contradictions between the Big Three have gradually become acute as various problems of DreamWorks have become prominent.
As long as it experiences another heavy blow, the stormy DreamWorks will basically end the situation of competing with traditional forces.
Unlike DreamWorks, the split DreamWorks Animation Studio, the development is quite smooth, in addition to "Shrek 2", the production of "Madagascar" is also nearing the end, and they also bought the adaptation rights of "Kung Fu Panda" from Ryan, and only after the manpower funds are in place, the project will be launched.
In fact, the Big Three somewhat regretted introducing Ryan to DreamWorks Animation Studios and making him the largest shareholder.
The Big Three never imagined that what was originally just a cumbersome animation production department at DreamWorks has now become one of Hollywood's leading animation studios.
Jerry Liver? Katzenberg's DreamWorks Animation Studios operates in a completely different way from Pixar's studios, with the latter focusing on meticulous craftsmanship and rarely producing more than two animated feature films at the same time, while the former is more multi-pointed, with several projects going hand in hand.
And the concepts of the two works are also completely different, if Pixar is asked to make Zuò's previous DreamWorks animation, or if DreamWorks is replaced by Pixar's project, the risk of failure far outweighs the possibility of success.
Just like the sweet, greasy, always singing and dancing animated movies are typical of Disney style, they all have their own core concepts.
Although incorporated into Disney, Pixar Studios maintained sufficient independence.
Ryan also won't let Disney influence Pixar's corporate culture and core philosophy too much.
Compared to "Looking for Nemo", which set a box office record for animated films last year, "Superman Family" is a little worse at the box office, and after entering August, the theater chain has slipped to more than 600, and the box office has also dropped below $1 million in a single week.
However, the film's North American box office has reached more than $275 million, and the overseas box office is also close to $200 million, although it is not as hot as "Spider-Man 2" this month, but it has already recouped its cost.
The box office war in the summer file continues, but there is one piece of news that has suppressed all the big-selling movies and has become the news that attracts the most attention from Hollywood.
After the appeal was dismissed by the Federal Circuit Court, Mel? Gibson appealed to the California Supreme Court, but it was rejected again in August, meaning he would have to go to prison and not be released on bail or parole for the first five years.
According to sources revealed in the media, the Hollywood superstar once burst into tears when he learned the news, banging his head against the wall, so that he finally collapsed to the ground, and there was no longer the unruly and crazy words in the face of Ryan after the release of "The Passion of the Christ".
The mainstream media unanimously agrees that Mel? Gibson deserves it, but it's not without those who cry out for him.
For example, the famous film critic Roger? Albert, in his online column, thinks 'It's a red. Bare. Naked persecution, just because of Mel? Gibson offended some big guy'.
Roger? Albert also complained about "The Passion of the Christ," arguing that the film did not receive the respect it deserved in Hollywood.
He once gave the film a four-star rating of 10 and two thumbs up.
However, his voice was directly ignored by the mainstream media, and he didn't even make a big wave.
Anyway, Mel? Gibson is facing a long prison sentence and his career in Hollywood is almost over, and when he is released from prison, even if he returns to Hollywood, how many people will remember him? How many more companies will use him?
What he faces is a fate that is far more tragic and marginal than in his previous life.
Although all the legal procedures are perfect and impeccable, it is clear to those who know the whole story that the hand behind the scenes, with the support of many Jewish forces, has been controlling the progress of the incident until it destroys Mel? Gibson's future.
Will Mel? After Gibson was sent to prison to pick up soap, Ryan also achieved his goal and put the matter aside.
As for what Taylor said about letting George send a few people in, it was purely a movie overwatched.
Maybe wait for Mel? After Gibson is released from prison, can he find a way to get him to the San Fernando Valley and talk to Tom? Cruise a couple? If these two star in a super adult blockbuster, it will be a record-breaking event in the industry, presumably the discs will be sold out of stock, and the adult Oscars will be won softly, right?
As the plane to Australia took off, Ryan had the idea.
But then he vetoed it himself, Mel? Gibson still has a lot of net worth, surely he won't be like Tom, who is in debt and addicted to drugs? Cruise is so depraved.
Besides, and better than Michael? Is Tyson better for Tom? Cruise's partner? Black and white is the first choice for many hardcore lovers.
When the plane was in a stable state, Natalie unbuckled her seatbelts and reminded everyone in the front cabin, "Everyone is free to move." ”
"Finally free."
Taylor, who was sitting across from Ryan, stood up and pulled Scarlett? Johnson, "Let's go to the recreation room. ”
"Excuse me, can I go along?" A little blonde girl in her teens walked over, looking completely familiar, "Can we play together?" (To be continued......)
