Every big company invests in politics, which is a very common phenomenon in North America, and Walt Disney is no exception, such as last year's presidential election, Disney's media clearly leaned towards Okuheki.

After a long period of tug-of-war, the two sides finally finalized a new supplementary agreement, in which the number of imported films from the Chinese side has been further increased - the number of ordinary account-sharing films has increased from 20 to 25, and the number of special account-sharing films has increased from 14 to 18.

It's not just Disney that's benefiting, it's Hollywood as a whole.

In addition, Okuhei has also put pressure on many Arab countries to further liberalize the animated film market.

Take the pressure out of the light, Tony? Blair has also been to the Arab world to talk privately, and the results are generally good.

The Walt Disney consultant is also a good person to communicate privately with the Swiss government.

After George's men visit London, British paparazzi, who like to chase celebrities, find that former Prime Minister Tony? Blair took his family on vacation to Bern, the capital of Switzerland.

As for Tony? How much of a role Blair can play in this, only God knows

Things can't be resolved in a short period of time, Tony? Although Blair met with a few 'old friends' in Swiss politics, there was no good news, and after the time entered May, the summer season in North America kicked off again.

In George? After Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy" came to an end, few films dared to challenge Disney's big-scale commercial films in the first weekend of the summer season.

Another superhero from Marvel Comics hits the big screen, and Thor and Loki embark on a long journey to love and kill each other.

This is arguably the worst superhero movie since "Captain America", both in terms of content and box office.

The film's first-week box office was even only more than $65 million, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for surprise movies that have always grossed more than 100 million in the first week in North America.

Many viewers admitted that the film is in addition to the rivalry between Thor and Loki. There's not much to see, Annie? Hathaway as Jane? Foster was bad enough, too.

Even, more people said that the reason why they entered the theater was to watch the last easter egg of the film, and the content of the easter egg was the trailer of "The Avengers"!

Anyway, Chris? Hemsworth's image of Thor is still recognized by most people, perhaps because he used to work as a construction worker in Australia and has rich experience in using hammers. His powerful movements also fascinated many female audiences.

It took 10 days for the North American box office to break through $120 million, and the global box office was only $240 million, and with the current development trend, the final box office of the film is likely to stay within $500 million.

Although the box office table is not very good, "Thor" has also completed its task very well, splicing the last piece of territory of "The Avengers", and playing a perfect warm-up role.

By the end of May. Pixar Studios' masterpiece "Flying House" has finally shaken off the tepid box office of "Ratatouille" and "Wal-E" in North America, surpassing the final $220 million of "Wal-E" in North America in just 20 days. Straight to the $300 million mark.

Time slowly entered July, Ryan waited for the good news he wanted, and the Swiss side finally roman? The Polanski affair made a ruling.

Although the Swiss government has not yet made it public, he has already received a message from Tony? Blair got the exact news from there. And notified Harrison? Ford and many other Polanski friends, as well as members of the Jewish clubs who had been to the party last time.

It wasn't until July 12 that the Swiss Ministry of Justice held a press conference.

Swiss Minister of Justice and Police, Evelyn? Widmer? Schrempf announced at a press conference. Refused the extradition of Polanski by the United States and immediately released him from detention.

"Because the U.S. Department of Justice did not submit to Switzerland a confidential transcript of a hearing in Polanski's case, the Swiss side decided not to extradite the extradition because the conditions for extradition were insufficient."

In this case, we can't rule out Roman? Polanski has already completed the possibility of serving his sentence, therefore, a serious technical error decided that extradition is no longer possible, and extradition lacks basic conditions. Taking into account the continuing doubts about the factual part of the case, we have decided to reject the extradition request. ”

Is this Widmer? Schrempf's words at a press conference, "As of 11:30 today, Polanski is a free man, and he can go to France, or Poland, or anywhere he will not be arrested." ”

After submitting a bail of up to 5 million euros, Roman? Polanski regained his freedom and returned to France.

Ryan also fulfilled his promise to Hollywood's Jewish circles, and as for what role the former British prime minister's private lobbying played, even Tony? Blair himself couldn't tell.

But no matter what, Ryan saw the results he wanted.

A few days later, Harrison? Ford, Jack? Nicholson and Sidney? Gannes came together and brought Roman? Polanski's handwritten letter, the great director who had an unpleasant relationship with Ryan because of "The Pianist", used the phrase "deep thanks" many times in the letter.

"The nightmare is finally over, and I thank you for your help from the bottom of my heart."

There are many words of thanks like this in the letter, Roman, who has become an old man? Polanski was also a smart man.

Subsequently, some slightly biased remarks began to appear on the mainstream media in North America, which were quite restrained compared to the outpouring of emotions in Hollywood two months ago, and definitely did not offend the sensitive nerves of the public.

"As a famous director who has won an Oscar, how embarrassing and absurd it feels to the world in the face of the unbearable past 30 years ago being announced to the public and causing prison time......

"But as Polanski himself, I believe that he is not a monster with no conscience at all, and the conscience condemnation of the past thirty years will definitely make him sad, and we should also go and see what Polanski will do in the future and how to do it."

Not to mention rescuing people, Ryan also helped the other party quietly wash the floor, which can be said to be a standard good person, just like the conflicts between him and Polanski in "The Pianist" never existed, on the other hand, he has transformed into a real businessman, thinking more about problems based on interests than on his own likes or dislikes.

For example, he now meets with someone he doesn't like much, and he talks and laughs with them.

"Ryan, you should go into politics." George? Clooney seemed to be joking, "Maybe I'll be in the White House." ”

Looking back from the wall separating Natalie and Scarlett's garden, Ryan picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I like Hollywood more than the White House." ”

Natalie, who was next to her, picked up the coffee pot, poured a full cup of coffee for the two of them, and sat back in her seat.

"Have you seen the dailies?" George? Clooney took the initiative to change the subject, "I think Nat has done a pretty good job. ”

"I think so too." Ryan gave Natalie a thumbs up, "Trust me, dear, this is a very good war reflection film. ”

"What's next?" George? Clooney asked again.

Although he is the real producer of this film, he understands that some rights are not in his hands.

"The film will be distributed by Miramax." Ryan already had a complete plan, "Screening in North America starting in November, George, you know what our goal is, all the work has to start early. ”

"I think you've done enough." Even if he wasn't personally involved, George? Clooney could also guess some of Ryan's thoughts, "It's too good for us right now." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being prepared." Ryan flicked the coffee cup in his hand, "I hate upsets the most." ”

Even if it is an upset, it is to blow up others by yourself, and no one will like it if you are exposed to your own upset.

Charlize turned to the fashion industry, Nicole won three Oscars, and he himself disliked literary films very much, and Natalie's best director was his only demand for an Oscar in the near future.

It's not easy to win this award, although Natalie is better than Catherine? Birog's status is more advantageous, but her age is the biggest obstacle.

Don't forget, she's not yet thirty!

Therefore, in addition to uniting multiple forces, Ryan also seized every opportunity that could be used to create favorable conditions for his side as much as possible.

As for what looks like the biggest opponent, rather than a real threat, anyone who knows Oscar will understand, James? Cameron wants to win the best director with "Avatar", and it is almost impossible.

"Avatar" is not a theme closely related to reality like "Titanic" after all.

Send George away? Instead of going to the garden, Clooney, Ryan, and Natalie returned to the villa, where he sat on the couch thinking about PR for Bomb Disposal Unit, while Natalie sat next to her, flipping through a book in Hebrew.

"What is this?"

Seeing that Natalie was fascinated, Ryan couldn't help but be a little curious, but he didn't know Hebrew.

"When I was making a film in Israel, someone recommended a novel to me." Natalie flipped over the cover and shook it in front of Ryan, "This is the famous Israeli writer Amos?" Oz's autobiographical novel, A Tale of Love and Darkness. ”

"I want to buy the rights to the film adaptation." She said again.

"Another schizophrenia!"

Muttering in his heart, Ryan had a little impression of the book, he took the book from Natalie's hand, put it aside, and said the plan that he had been thinking about for a long time, "Nat, why don't we really work together once, you are the director, and I am the male lead."
