Rebirth In Hollywood - Chapter 818

Every major company invests in politics. This is a very common phenomenon in North America, and Walt Disney is no exception. For example, in the presidential election last year, Disney’s media clearly favored the black charcoal.

Aohetan did not disappoint Disney either. After taking the stage, the first few tasks were the Sino-U.S. bilateral negotiations on films and many other cultural products. After a long period of time, the two sides finally concluded a new supplementary agreement. The number of imported films from China has further increased-ordinary sub-ledger films have increased from 20 to 25, and special sub-ledger films have increased from 14 to 18.

It’s not just Disney, but Hollywood as a whole.

In addition, Aohetan also put pressure on many Arab countries to further liberalize the animation film market.

In addition to the pressure on the surface, Tony Blair has also been to private parties in the Arab world and said that the effect is generally good.

This Walt Disney special consultant is also a suitable person to communicate privately with the Swiss government.

After George’s people visited London, the British paparazzi, who likes to chase celebrities, discovered that former Prime Minister Tony Blair took his family to the Swiss capital Bern for a vacation.

As for how much Tony Blair can play in it, only God knows.

The matter cannot be resolved smoothly in a short period of time. Although Tony Blair met a few’old friends’ in the Swiss political circle, there was no good news. And after May, the summer vacation in North America The curtain opened again.

After George Lucas’s “Star Wars Prequel Trilogy” ended, few films dared to challenge Disney’s major commercials on the first weekend of the summer.

Another superhero of Marvel Comics has appeared on the big screen, Thor and Loki have embarked on a long journey of falling in love and killing each other.

This can be said to be the worst superhero movie since “Captain America”, regardless of content or box office.

The film’s first week box office was only more than 65 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for the surprise movies that used to have an easy box office of over 100 million in the first week in North America.

Many viewers admitted frankly, except for Thor and Rocky’s rivals. There is not much to watch, and Jane Foster, who plays Anne Hathaway, is also bad enough.

Even more people said that the reason why they entered the theater was to watch the last easter egg of the film. The content of the easter egg is a preview of “Avengers”!

In any case, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor image is still recognized by most people, perhaps because he has worked as a construction worker in Australia and has a wealth of experience in using hammers. His powerful actions also fascinated many female audiences.

The commercial performance of the film can only be regarded as mediocre. It took ten days for the North American box office to exceed 120 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was only 240 million U.S. dollars. Based on the current development trend, the film’s final box office It is likely to stay within 500 million US dollars.

Although the box office performance is not very good, “Thor” is also considered to be a very good completion of its mission, spliced ​​on the last piece of the “Avengers” territory, and played a perfect warm-up role.

It’s the end of May. Pixar Studio’s masterpiece “Flying House Tour” made its grand debut. This cartoon finally got rid of the tepid box office situation of “Ratuitou” and “Robot Walli” in North America. In just 20 days, the film The box office in North America surpassed the final $220 million of “Robot Walli”. Go straight to the 300 million dollar mark.

Time slowly entered July, Ryan waited for the good news he wanted, and the Swiss side finally made a ruling on the Roman Polanski incident.

Although the Swiss government has not announced it to the public, he has already got the exact information from Tony Blair. He also notified Harrison Ford and many Polanski’s friends, as well as the members of the Jewish club who attended the party last time.

It was not 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. Rejecting the extradition of Polanski by the United States immediately lifted his detention.

“Because the U.S. Department of Justice did not submit a confidential record of a hearing regarding the Polanski case to Switzerland, the Swiss side determined that the conditions for extradition were insufficient and decided not to grant extradition.

“Under this circumstance, we cannot rule out the possibility that Roman Polanski has already served his sentence. Therefore, a serious technical error decides that extradition is no longer possible. Extradition lacks basic conditions. Considering the factual part of the case, the doubt continues. Existing, we decided to reject the extradition application.”

This is what Widmer Schrempf said at the press conference, “From 11:30 today, Polanski is a free man. He can go to France, or Poland, or whatever will not arrest him. local.”

After handing in bail of up to 5 million euros, Roman Polanski regained his freedom and returned to France.

Ryan has also fulfilled his promise to the Hollywood Jewish circle. As for the role of the former British Prime Minister’s private lobbying, even Tony Blair himself has no idea.

But in any case, Ryan saw the result he wanted.

A few days later, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, and Sidney Gannis came together to visit, and brought a letter from Roman Polanski, because “The Pianist” had trouble with Ryan. The unhappy director used the phrase “deep thanks” many times in his letter.

“The nightmare is finally over, and I am most grateful for your help from the bottom of my heart.”

There are a lot of words of gratitude in the letter, and Roman Polanski, who is already mature, is also a wise man.

Later, in the mainstream media in North America, some comments that were slightly biased towards Polanski began to appear. Compared with the rush of public sentiment in Hollywood two months ago, these comments are quite restrained and never offend the sensitive nerves of the public.

“As a famous director who has won an Oscar award, facing the unbearable past 30 years ago is announced to the public, and will cause jail, how embarrassing and absurd it makes the world feel…”

“But as Polanski himself, I believe it is not a beast that has no conscience at all. The conscience condemnation over the past 30 years will definitely make him sad. We should also see what Polanski will do in the future and how to do it. .”

Regardless of the rescuer, Ryan also helped the other party to clean the floor quietly. It can be said to be a standard good person, just like the contradictions between him and Polanski in “The Pianist” have never existed. On the other hand, In other words, he has transformed into a real businessman, thinking about problems more based on interests, rather than his own preferences or dislikes.

For example, he now meets with a person who doesn’t like much, and he is still chatting and laughing with him.

“Ryan, you should go to politics.” George Clooney seemed to be joking. “Maybe you can enter the White House.”

Looking back from the wall separating Natalie and Scarlett’s Garden, Ryan picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, “I like Hollywood better than the White House.”

Natalie, who was next to her, picked up the coffee pot, filled them with coffee, and sat back in her seat.

“Have you seen the sample?” George Clooney took the initiative to change the subject, “I think Nat did an excellent job.”

“I think so too.” Ryan deliberately gave Natalie a thumbs up. “Trust me, dear, this is an excellent war reflection film.”

“What’s the plan next?” George Clooney asked again.

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

“The film will be released by Miramax.” Ryan has already had a complete plan. “Starting to start screening in North America in November, George, you know what our goal is. All work must start ahead of schedule.”

“I think you have done enough.” Even without personally participating, George Clooney could guess some of Ryan’s thoughts. “The situation is too favorable for us now.”

“There is nothing wrong with adequate preparation.” Ryan flicked the coffee cup beside him, “I hate upsets the most.”

Even if you are upset, you are going to explode others by yourself. No one likes being upset by yourself.

Charlize turned to the fashion industry. Nicole won the Oscar three times~www.mtlnovel.com~, and he dislikes art films very much. Natalie’s best director is his only demand for Oscars in the near future.

It is really not easy to win this award. Although Natalie has an advantage over Catherine Birog’s identity, her age is the biggest obstacle.

Don’t forget, she is not yet thirty years old!

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

As for the seemingly biggest opponent, instead of a real threat, anyone who knows Oscars will understand that it is almost impossible for James Cameron to get the best director by virtue of “Avatar”.

“Avatar” is not a subject closely related to reality like “Titanic” after all.

Sending away George Clooney, Ryan and Natalie returned to the villa without going to the garden. He sat on the sofa and considered the public relations of “The Hurt Locker”, while Natalie sat next to him and looked at it. Hebrew books.

“what is this?”

Ryan couldn’t help being a little curious when she saw Natalie’s fascinating look, but he did not know Hebrew.

“When I was making a movie in Israel, someone recommended a novel to me.” Natalie turned the cover and shook in front of Ryan. “This is an autobiographical novel by the famous Israeli writer Amos Oz, ” A Story of Love and Darkness.”

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

“Another schizophrenia!”

Muttered in his heart, Ryan had a little impression of the book. He took the book from Natalie, put it aside, and said the long-awaited plan, “Nat, why don’t we really cooperate. Once, you are the director and I am the leading actor.” (To be continued…)
