Chapter 608: There is a situation later

In fact, if you look at the media in North America decades after the end of World War II, the mainstream media has always maintained a surprising consistency in some major events, although the mainstream media in North America is ostensibly mostly scattered in the hands of many people, but it has always been heavily influenced by Jews or Jews.

Anti-Semitism, like racism, can be thought about casually or discussed in private, but if it is expressed openly in some way, then be prepared for a storm.

Maybe it's just Mel in this film? Gibson deliberately instigated hype, but Jews in North America would not think so, and they would be wary of any openly anti-Jewish voice.

What's more, Mel? Gibson's private views of the Jews are not too secret.

Here he opened his mouth to two well-known Jewish journalists, and over there the media dug up his and his family's roots.

The Washington Post prominently featured Mel? Gibson's father, Gibson Sr., had some disgraceful deeds, and in an interview he had denied the Holocaust in World War II, calling himself a Nazi......

As for Mel? Gibson himself has a similarly bad record in this regard, having been a member of a coalition of right-wing groups in the interests of Australia as a young man, which was a well-known extremist group; When he came to Hollywood, he did not hold back, funding a traditional splinter Catholic church in the Los Angeles area whose mission was to "purge the Jews who killed Jesus."

The media remarks also stimulated major Jewish groups in North America, with some angry Jews rallying outside theaters to protest, some even wearing the prison uniforms of Jews in Nazi concentration camps, and even some Jewish parliamentarians even proposed a ban on the film.

Although he never thought that the film had anything to do with him, in just a few days, Ryan received numerous phone calls, including traditional Hollywood Jewish forces represented by Pearson and Spielberg, as well as Jewish groups from Wall Street. There are also some representatives of the National Jewish Association.

In a region as free as North America, where commercial freedom is almost impossible, it is almost impossible to force the release of a movie that is being released, and how to suppress the rising anti-Semitic activity is the focus of their concern.

It took hundreds of years of public relations and hard work for the Jews to build up a large and intricate force in the land, and they would never allow anyone to shake their foundations.

It's easy to say, Mel? Gibson touched a sensitive nerve for Jews, and it was up to them to bear the consequences.

Despite his deep disapproval, and his mind was spinning around about me, Ryan verbally expressed that he would stand with all the Jews in North America.

Anyway. He was one of the most famous Jews in the United States and a pure Jewish lover.

The current protest is just the beginning, and after the "Passion of the Christ" is down and the topic gradually cools down, presumably Mel? Gibson is going to have a hard time.

Speaking of which, Mel? Gibson is unruly, has a bad temper, and is still a big mouth after drinking, even in the Australian actor circle. But there is no conflict of interest with Ryan, and if it doesn't offend the interests of his class, he will only treat the other party as a passerby.

When a person enjoys the benefits of status, he or she has to fulfill the obligations that correspond to it. This is the simplest truth.

Of course, for now, Ryan won't put too much energy into this kind of thing, and there is a lot of work for him to deal with within Disney alone.

"What kind of benefits can the right film bring to the group?"

I took a look at the dark night sky outside the conference room. Ryan crossed his hands on the conference table and turned his gaze back to the many Disney executives, "After the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in North America and around the world. Seventy percent of the number of visitors to our amusement park has increased, and more than 80 percent of them have been influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean, who have entered more than just Pirates of the Caribbean......"

He tapped lightly on the table and accentuated his tone, "Most of the tourists left with more than just Pirates of the Caribbean-related souvenirs, and the number of sales of all our merchandise skyrocketed. ”

"In the past two months, sales of other types of peripheral products have increased by 40 percent." Robert, who presided over the meeting? Iger added.

Ryan nodded at him and continued the topic just now, "So, making movies or cartoons that are closely related to Disney will be our next focus." ”

"But our traditional films are based on various fairy tales."

Roy as a lifelong advisor? Disney expressed its opinion at this time, "And these fairy tales have been made into movies or cartoons by us more than once." ”

"If there is no innovation, there is a huge risk of remaking."

Taking off her glasses, Nicole gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, and her words were echoed by many people, "That's true." ”

"Ryan, your animal version of The Prince's Revenge has worked." Roy? Disney said of The Lion King, "and our Romeo and Juliet failed. ”

Many people's eyes are on Ryan, after all, his creativity in movies seems to be endless, and these films will maximize the revenue after being operated by the Disney Group's entire industry chain.

If you can really reinterpret classic fairy tale movies with Disney tradition, the benefits will be significantly greater.

They all have this confidence, because although last year's earnings report has not yet been released to the public, it is not a secret to everyone here.

Walt Disney's operating income in 2oo3 was more than $3.8 billion 63 million, and its net profit was over $4.9 billion, compared with more than $2.6 billion and $3.3 billion in 2oo2.

After a year of integration and internal digestion in 2oo2, the role of the acquisitions of Pixar Studios, Jenkins Films, and Marvel Comics has been fully revealed.

Among them, most of the movies and peripherals that bring huge revenue to Disney are inextricably linked to Ryan.

Even, some people are still thinking that if Ryan hadn't sold the rights to "Mission Impossible" and "Terminator", Disney would probably have made more money.

Fortunately, they now also have their own agent series, and although "Spy" adapted from "Byrne's Identity" is not a big hit, it is already quite profitable compared to investment, and it can be built into a series.

They believed that Ryan must have had a general idea since he said so.

"We can reinterpret the familiar fairy tales."

Ryan turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on John? Lassett, "For example, "The Eldest Princess, which has just been established by the animation department. ”

Most people don't know that Disney Animation Studios has begun experimenting with 3D animated feature films, and they don't know the specific content, and Ryan didn't mean to sell it, and went on.

"Let's put it this way, we can interpret traditional fairy tales in a different way."

"It's not going to be a spoof like Shrek, right?" When Ryan paused to drink water, someone said worriedly.

Putting down the coffee cup, Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Of course it won't be like that, that doesn't fit the style of Disney movies." ”

There are also many people who come here who are in charge of the creative team and the editorial review team, and their ears have long been pricked up.

"A few examples." Ryan didn't keep them waiting, "For example, Sleeping Beauty, it doesn't have to be a prince to kiss the princess, it can be a witch; There is also the Ice Queen, the prince may not be in love with the princess, but may want to annex her kingdom...... Well, even a traditional Snow White could defeat the evil queen with the help of a hunter. ”

These truths are not complicated, but for Disney creators who are bound by tradition, they have opened up their thinking from the other side, although some of them may not be suitable for the current social environment, but they also pierce a thin layer of barriers, and fairy tales can be reinterpreted from a different angle, even if they are not spoofed.

All Ryan is giving is Qi, Disney's creative department, which spends most of its time immersed in various fairy tales, as long as they have the right thinking, they are the most suitable candidates to adapt the script.

When the meeting ended and left the Disney headquarters building, it was close to midnight, and when she entered the parking lot, Nicole sat in his car generously, and when Ryan closed the door, the black Rolls-Royce, accompanied by the front and rear bodyguard cars, drove out of the underground parking lot.

Although Burbank's nightlife has only just begun, there are noticeably fewer cars on the road, but drivers are still fully engrossed.

Because this is Burbank, the famous media and entertainment capital, there are countless little stars who get drunk at night, drive around and have very poor driving skills.

Every month, there are always more than a dozen celebrities in Los Angeles who are involved in traffic accidents because of drunk driving.

After a few turns, the car headed south, and gradually came up, maintaining a safe enough distance between the three cars.

"Do you agree on the Passion of the Christ?" Inside the car, Nicole asked Ryan seriously.

"For the time being, we will first put pressure on the media." Ryan had just lifted his fingers, and Nicole had already leaned over to help him rub the corners of his forehead, and said at the same time, "Don't worry about what we think, we don't like him, he is very popular." ”

Sniffing the scent coming from Nicole's body, Ryan nodded slightly, he understood that Nicole was talking about Mel? Gibson was equally unpopular with the Australian gang.

"Ryan, buckle up! There is a case in the back! ”

John's reminder suddenly came from the intercom, and Ryan didn't hesitate to help Nicole fasten her seat belt as soon as possible, and buckle herself as quickly as possible.

Then, he looked back and saw a police car flashing its lights, chasing a Lexus that could only be described as crazy and rushing towards them. (To be continued......)
