Chapter 275 Surprise reception 1
"How about giving the movie to us to release?" Jon Landao asked tentatively.
"Aren't you worried about losing money in the movie?" Ryan laughed.
In fact, because Ryan did not intervene much, several major film companies had almost no interest in "Blade Warrior" and had no intention of investing. To be precise, they were in the wait-and-see stage, just like everyone else.
"Hey, Jon, you can't be greedy." Grant Hill ended his conversation with his companion and turned his head. "Paramount has obtained the right to release Pixar's movie. Please give the surprise superhero to Twentieth Century Fox to release."
"In fact, Warner has the same intention." Gerald raised his glasses to the people.
"Why don't you choose Universal Pictures?" Ron Mayer walked over with his daughter in his arms.
"Everyone." Ryan raised his cup to everyone, "The Blade Warrior is just a test work, and it is still difficult to say how effective it is. If the movie is successful, we have a lot of opportunities to cooperate."
Those superhero movies that invest hundreds of millions of dollars or even nearly two hundred million dollars, let alone Marvel Pictures, will have a headache if they ask Ryan to pay so much liquidity to get out of their pockets. If they want to carry out thorough commercial development, cooperation is the king.
"Then we wish Marvel Pictures a success in this project."
I don’t know whose proposal was, but everyone agreed. Their circle has both competition and cooperation, which can be regarded as a loose community of interests.
"The only regret is that Universal Pictures did not participate in the investment in "Titanic"." Ron Meyer was still a little emotional. He chose "Future Water World" but almost stepped down because of this. Fortunately, after reaching the cooperation intention for "Jurassic Park 2" last year, the situation was stabilized again.
"The box office of 1.6 billion US dollars is incredible." Shirley Lansing also came over at this time, smiling extremely brightly, "Maybe the final box office of the movie can hit $2 billion!"
Paramount Pictures is one of the investors. The higher the box office of the movie and the more popular the surroundings sell, the higher their returns will naturally be.
"Ryan, can you ask, when are you going to break the record of "Titanic"?" Jennifer Mayer joked.
"No, no." Ryan pulled out the truck driver who watched the show from the crowd. "James has the greatest contribution to the success of the movie."
"Is that true? Why don't I feel that way?" James Cameron glared, "So ask, Ryan, when did you pay dividends for me, the person who has made the most contribution."
"At the latest Oscar, I promise, Jim." Ryan deliberately squeezed his eyes and said jokingly, "How about this proposal be delivered to you with the best director's Little Golden Man?"
"Wow, this is so cool."
Everyone laughed again, because Ryan and James Cameron's tone were obviously joking.
"James, have you no plans to shoot a movie recently?"
"No, "Titanic" consumed too much energy. I need a long enough vacation." James Cameron's eyes turned and asked Harvey Weinstein who was just talking, "Harvey, are you interested in spending $300 million to invest in a movie?"
"You'd better kill me."
"Titanic" has achieved a major success. Although the sequelae for James Cameron is not as huge as that of his previous life, it is not small. After all, his just-finished film production budget reached 250 million US dollars. How much budget does it take to ask him to take a picture of the movie?
Besides, most people believe that the movie can be successful and Ryan’s appeal plays a very critical role in it. What’s the use of just asking for one James? Cameron?
If an investment of up to hundreds of millions of dollars fails, even the seven major film companies can only go bankrupt and reorganize.
While joking, several people deal with the people who came to say hello. There were so many senior film companies, big directors and big producers who came by Ryan, and they would become the center of the banquet hall without thinking, even if it was just a secluded corner.
"John, Chris, I didn't expect you to accept the invitation."
The two people who walked hand in hand were John Lasett of Pixar and Chris Wedge of Blue Sky Studio.
"Yes, let's ask, when will your boss go to the studio to take a look?"
"I'm just an amateur, you know." Ryan spread his hands and shrugged. "I'm very relieved to have you experts here."
"By the way, John, when will "Beasts" and "Toy Story 2" be completed?" Shirley Lansing asked with concern.
"The Bugs Team will be completed next year, and Toy Story 2 will be around 99."
Perhaps seeing that they had something to talk to Ryan, the people around him gradually spread out, and Chris Wedge waited for no one nearby, then he said, "Ryan, we have made the animated short film "Bonnie Rabbit" and will participate in the competition for this Oscar, animated feature film..."
"Featured animated film?" Ryan pinched his chin and asked curiously, "Do you have any specific plans?"
"That's what we plan to do." Chris Wedge lowered his voice, "making a story about prehistoric animals, probably the Ice Age, and they and humans."
"So, you send the specific plan here." In case of precaution, 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 function of the cocktail party is communication, the more work, cooperation projects, and joint production of movies are around Ryan, which are the basic intentions reached on such occasions.
For example, in "Mission: Impossible", after selecting actors, Jenkins Films accepted investment from Paramount and Warner Bros. and will jointly produce the movie.
Of course, Ryan will not give up the copyright and sequels related permissions.
Also, "Blade Warrior" has also finalized the main actors, and they also attended to tonight's cocktail party.
The male lead is still a black man, but not the one in his previous life. However, in superhero movies, as long as the actors are not too outrageous, it doesn't matter who they are. This kind of movie is the most typical role to achieve actors.
There is also action guidance, also from Hong Kong. Ryan didn't say much, but just shook hands with the man surnamed Zhen.
Chapter completed!
