People come and go in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel, celebrities and celebrities are everywhere, a glass of champagne is delivered from the waiter, these people congratulate and praise in unison, even if some people are not surprised at all Super hero.

Michael Eisner is one of them. Surprising superheroes are indeed very distinctive, but they have never proven themselves on the big screen.

Although smiling, he took the initiative to congratulate Avi Allard, but only Michael Eisner knew what he thought.

Seeing the young man standing in the crowd, Michael Eisner frowned. Although he was not optimistic about the superhero, no one dared to ignore his existence.

In the past few years, the other party has fully proved its vision in movies, even the several acquisitions in the commercial area, it can be called a magical stroke.

Needless to say, Pixar, who is still unable to let go, even the Blue Sky Studio, which was not even the ugly duckling at the beginning, has shown strong technical strength in the post-production of "Titanic", which has made the entire industry admire.

Thinking of "Titanic", Michael Eisner has a kind of irritable impulse. He wholeheartedly hopes that the other party will stumble on the movie, but it has created an unprecedented great success.

Whether in private or in public, Michael Eisner no longer talks about Ryan Jenkins’s future as before, and what will happen to Marvel Comics. The other party has already created too many miracles, only God. Only then did he know if he would continue the magic.

Besides, many people in the board of directors have now united and voiced doubts against him. Is it worth it to have **** with Ryan Jenkins because of Pixar?

This is a celebration reception for the establishment of Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Marvel Comics. Marvel did not choose New York as its base camp. Instead, it chose Burbank, which is closer to the World Cinema Center, since it was acquired in 1996 until now. After more than a year of preparations, this heavyweight department was formally established.

At the same time that Marvel Pictures was established, its first film has also entered the stage of launching soon, it is "Blade Warrior".

This can be regarded as a test of the Marvel Comics heroes and a pre-heated work. As long as the performance of the movie is not too bad after the movie is released next year, subsequent productions will appear one after another.

Ryan's control of the game was completely handed over to Avi Allard and Stan Lee, and the others were also greeted by Pai Kingsley and Scott Swift, his absolute majority shareholder. On the contrary, a lot of leisure.

Of course, this is only a relative term. After all, many of the guests who came to celebrate were acquaintances, such as the top executives of several film companies such as Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox.

"Hi, Ryan, why don't you adapt the script yourself?"

When he appeared at the reception, many people naturally gathered around, and the question was Jon Landau.

"Jon, no one knows the characters they created better than the amazing team of screenwriters. I believe them." From the adaptation to the preparation of this film, Ryan just provided some opinions without too much intervention.

After more than a year, Avi Allard’s ability is beyond doubt. The story is guarded by the old guy Stan Lee. Surprise Pictures recruits mature employees in the industry. I believe it will not do too badly.

"How about giving the movie to us for distribution?" Jon Landau asked tentatively.

"Aren't you worried about the movie losing money?" Ryan laughed.

In fact, because of Ryan's little intervention, the major film companies have almost no interest in "Blade Warrior". There is no intention to invest either. To be precise, they are the same as everyone else. It is in the wait-and-see stage.

"Hey, Jon, you can't be greedy." Grant Hill ended the conversation with his companion. Turning his head, "Paramount has already obtained Pixar's film distribution rights. Let's hand it over to Twentieth Century Fox to distribute the superhero."

"In fact, Warner also has this intention." Gerald raised his glasses to several people.

"Why not choose Universal Pictures?" Ron Meyer happened to walk over with his daughter.

"Everyone." Ryan raised the cup to everyone, ""Blade Warrior" is just a work to test the waters. It's hard to say how effective it is. If the film is successful, we have a lot of opportunities for cooperation."

Those superhero movies with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, or even close to 200 million dollars, let alone Surprise Pictures, even letting Ryan spend so much working capital out of his own pocket will also feel a headache. They want to carry out thorough commercial development and cooperation. It's the kingly way.

"Then we wish Surprise Pictures a success in this project."

I don't know whose proposal is, and everyone agrees. Their circle of people has both competition and cooperation, which can be regarded as a loose community of interests.

"The only pity is that we at Universal Pictures did not participate in the "Titanic" investment." Ron Meyer was still a little emotional. At the beginning, he chose "Future Water World", but he almost stepped down because of it. Fortunately last year, he reached the "Titanic". After the cooperation intention of "Jurassic Park 2", the situation has stabilized again.

"The box office of 1.6 billion dollars is incredible." Shirley Lansing also walked over at this time, with a brilliant smile on her face, "Maybe the final box office of the movie can hit two billion dollars!"

Paramount Pictures is one of the investors. The higher the box office of the movie, the more popular the surrounding sales, the higher their income will naturally be.

"Ryan, can you ask, when do you plan to break the record of "Titanic"?" Jennifer Meyer joked with fun.

"No, no." Ryan pulled out the truck driver who was watching the show from the crowd. "The film can be a success, and James has done the most."

"Really? Why didn't I think so?" James Cameron stared. "Then ask, Ryan, when will you pay dividends for me, the person who has done the most."

"Oscar at the latest, I promise, Jim." Ryan squeezed his eyes on purpose and said jokingly, "How about this proposal with the best director's golden man?"

"Wow, this is so cool."

Everyone laughed again, because the tone of Ryan and James Cameron was obviously joking.

"James, are there no plans to film lately?"

"No, "Titanic" consumes too much of my energy. I need a long enough vacation." James Cameron rolled his eyes and asked Harvey Weinstein who was just talking, "Harvey , Do you intend to spend 300 million dollars to make a movie?"

"You better kill me."

"Titanic" was a major success. Although the sequelae to James Cameron was not as huge as in the previous life, it was not small. After all, his just-finished film production budget reached 250 million US dollars, and he wanted to hire him for the film. How much budget do I need to set aside?

Besides, most people believe that the film can be successful, and Ryan’s appeal has played a key role in it. What is the use of having only one James Cameron?

Once an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars fails, even the seven major film companies have only one path to bankruptcy and reorganization.

Several people talked and laughed while dealing with people who came to say hello. So many high-level figures from film companies, big directors and big producers, leaning against Ryan, would become the center of the banquet hall without even thinking about it, even if it’s just a quiet place. corner.

"John, Chris, I didn't expect you to accept the invitation."

The two people who came hand in hand were John Lasseter from Pixar and Chris Wedge from Blue Sky Studio.

"Yes, let's ask, when will your boss go to the studio to take a look?"

"I'm just a layman, you know." Ryan spread his hands and shrugged, "I'm relieved to have you experts here."

"By the way, John, when will "Bugs" and "Toy Story 2" be completed?" Shirley Lansing asked concerned.

""Bugs" will be completed next year, "Toy Story 2" will be in 1999."

Probably because they saw that they had something to talk to Ryan, the people around gradually disappeared. After Chris Witch waited for no one nearby, he said, "Ryan, we made the animated short "Bunny Bonnie". Will participate in this Oscar competition, an animated feature film..."

"Animated feature film?" Ryan raised his chin and asked curiously, "Are there any specific plans?"

"That's what we planned." Chris Witch lowered his voice. "To make a story about prehistoric animals, probably during the Ice Age, between them and humans."

"Let's do it, you send the specific plan." In case of any accident, Ryan still took insurance measures. "If there is no problem, the funds will be in place as soon as possible. I remember the promise to you. "

Although the biggest role of the cocktail party is communication, the work that surrounds Ryan is more. Cooperative projects and co-produced films are the basic intentions reached on this occasion.

For example, "Mission: Impossible", after the selection of the actors, Jenkins Pictures accepted the investment from Paramount and Warner Bros. and will co-produce the film.

Of course, Ryan will not let out the copyright and related permissions of the sequel.

In addition, "Blade Warrior" also finalized the main actors, they also participated in tonight's cocktail party.

The male protagonist is still black, but not the one in his previous life. However, in superhero movies, as long as the actor is not too outrageous, it doesn't really matter who he is replaced. This kind of movie is the most typical role achievement actor.

There is also the action guide, also from Hong Kong, Ryan didn't say much, just shook hands with the man surnamed Zhen.

The heroine makes Ryan shine. This is not the famous "trouble" lady in Hollywood in the past life, who is known as an expert on couple dismantling. ()
