A successful film has a huge pull on the production company. "X-Men" will get more profits in the future, not to mention that this is just the beginning of a series.

The most obvious success of the movie is the pull of the stock price of Marvel. In the overall downturn in the stock market, Marvel's stock rose against the trend. Even though the daily uptrend was limited, it maintained a stable upward trend. Three months after the box office of "X-Men" was released in the first week, Marvel's single stock price exceeded US$25 for the first time.

So "X-Men 2", which has long been confirmed, is naturally put on the agenda. With the "Blade 3" being produced and "Spider-Man" in preparation, Marvel Pictures will face the first time that it will produce three movies at the same time.

Although he did not participate in the specific business, Ryan has always been the chairman. During the next meeting, Avi Arad revealed that he wanted to step down from his position as Marvel Film, and recommended Kevin Feige, the producer of "X-Men", as the new CEO.

He was a fan of Marvel superhero movies in his previous life. Of course, Ryan knew who Kevin Feige was. He did not express much opinion, and this matter was still left to Marvel Internal.

Ryan did not stay in New York for too long and took a plane to the famous Napa Valley.

The Napa Valley is located in San Francisco Bay, California. It is a famous wine production area in the United States. It is also a destination for celebrities and wealthy people to buy leisure estates. Judging from his latest information, Nicole bought a new wine estate not long ago and is currently relaxing here.

As expected, Ryan's car was stopped outside the manor. No matter what he said, the other party refused to let go. If George hadn't deliberately stopped him, he might have had a scene of letting the bodyguard break in directly.

Of course, he finally returned to his peace. Even if he acted for people to see, there was no need to go too far.

After all, with Nicole's current hot temper, if he doesn't do it well, he will sue him in court in the name of trespassing into private territory. Then you'll be waiting to be laughed at.

"You really don't see him?"

On the terrace of the villa, Antonia Kidman looked at his sister and looked at the place at the entrance of the manor, "He has been waiting for almost a day."

"Don't ask him in front of me, okay, Annie!" Nicole's face was covered tightly by oversized sunglasses, "Just pretend I never knew him."

After saying that, she picked up the wine glass and raised it to the blonde woman on the other side, "Nami, is the wine produced by the winery good for the taste?"

"Very great." Naomi Watts sucked the lipstick wine gently, "and it felt more mellow than the red wine produced in the Bordeaux area."

"If you like it, stay here for a while." Nicole looked at her sister dissatisfiedly, "Annie is going to go back to Sydney. She doesn't agree to let her come to Hollywood to develop."

The three women chatted about topics of interest, and Nicole never looked at the direction of the manor gate. When Naomi Watts went to the bathroom, Antonia Kidman couldn't help it.

"Nicole, it's good to see him. Maybe Ryan has something urgent to do..."

"Annie!" Nicole Kidman pointed at her nose, "I am your sister!"

"But...he is our younger brother..."

"It used to be. It's not now."

"Well, Nicole, we won't mention him." Antonia Kidman asked the biggest question in the past few days, "What exactly do Disney people do to you? Don't do stupid things!"

"I know what I'm doing." The sunglasses blocked her eyes, and no one could see the light flashing in the light blue eyes. "I'm just doing what I want to do."

Antonia Kidman shut up, after all, his own sister in front of him.

Silence fell on the terrace, and Naomi Watts walked over from the corner of the stairs, as if he hadn't seen the awkward atmosphere here, continuing to talk about some fashion topics.

Looking at her sister who was chatting and laughing, Antonia Kidman had to say that she was born an actress and even herself could not see through her true thoughts.

What exactly does she want to do? What is the purpose?

The only person in the world who can understand her is probably the guy outside the manor?

These two people really want to break up from now on and become enemies? Or...

Her eyes fell on Nicole's face again, and under her big sunglasses, she still couldn't see anything special.

It was completely dark, and Ryan sat on the front hood with his knees in his arms, looking at the closed manor gate, which seemed to never open.

"They're leaving." George put away the phone and walked over.

"Yeah~"

Nodding, Ryan pointed to his side, and asked after George sat down, "After I was driven out of the manor that day, Nicole took over what I asked you to hand over, and said nothing, right?"

"Yes." George frowned, "If..."

"No if. I just give her a chance to vent her anger. She just needs to vent her energy." Ryan jumped out of the car, "Okay, do as planned, I..."

He sighed, "It's been a long time to be a passerby, it feels so bad. Let's go back to Los Angeles."

Hollywood is a battlefield without gunpowder. He and Disney will inevitably stage long dramas that have been performed countless times in this world of fame and fortune. Now they are just small dramas of preparing food, grass and ammunition. There is no suitable opportunity for this acquisition case that often involves billions of funds. Even a tyrant like Michael Eisner will not take action easily.

How long did Viacom prepare for the acquisition of Paramount Pictures?

Few people know when Samoy Redstone started to think like this. The only thing Hollywood knows is that he has been staring at Paramount Pictures since 1990, and has made at least three years of preparation for the final success.

Ryan has enough patience.

With November, another hot film schedule in North America has also kicked off. "Monster Electric" and "Gladiator" have released trailers one after another, and the schedules of the two movies are selected in Thanksgiving and December respectively.

However, the trailer for the two movies was released shortly after they were released and they encountered trouble one after another.

The trailer for "Monster Electric Power" appeared in the media as early as October. Perhaps the audience will only realize that another excellent animated feature is coming and is preparing to go to the theater to enjoy it on Thanksgiving. However, for the industry, the appearance of the Mao Monster Sullivan has brought a shocking technological breakthrough. Although there have been many scenes about hair in computer animation before, they have never created such a vivid image as Mao Monster.

Pixar Studio will naturally not miss the promotional opportunity. They released news that the hair monster had more than 2.3 million hairs on it, and many times it even needed to be rendered one by one, which would definitely bring different viewing experiences to the audience.

Not long before the movie was released, children's writer Lowry Madrid from Wyoming revealed to the media that "Monster Electric" stole the creativity of his 1997 poem "I Have a Boy in My Wardrobe".

Madrid mailed his poems to six publishers in October 1999, and then adapted them into a local musical stage play in the summer of 2001. After seeing the trailer for "Monster Company", Madrid believed that one of the publishers handed over his work to Pixar, and the film was adapted from his poems.

The media will definitely not miss such a hype opportunity. For a moment, news of whether Pixar plagiarized became the headlines of many entertainment media.

Did Pixar Studio plagiarize?

It is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly. There are too many examples of learning from Hollywood when creating scripts. In my previous life, someone sued James Cameron's "Avatar" and "Titanic" for plagiarism.

Ryan doesn't need to consider whether Pixar has learned from it. The other party's works have not been registered with the Screenwriters Association, and there is no sufficient evidence. If so, he would have sued it long ago. How to deal with such a thing must start from the direction that is most beneficial to his own interests.

Wilson Law Firm soon mailed a lawyer's letter to Lowry Madrid, and the lack of confidence writer immediately shut up.

Although the plagiarism storm lasted only a few days, Lowry Madrid was repeatedly mentioned by the media and instantly became a well-known figure in the United States. In the next month, his works even exceeded the total sales of the past.

The purpose of the other party's hype is evident.

Ryan knew that there would be more and more rides in the future, and he didn't have time to argue with such a small person, because this storm seemed to have inspired some people, and someone jumped out again.

This time, the opponent is no longer targeting "Monster Electric Power Company", but "Gladiator" starring him!

A senior Hollywood screenwriter named Mark Morrick claimed that after watching the trailer for "Gladiator", he specially read the novel of the same name published in "Vanity Fair" that year. All of these were suspected of plagiarizing the scripts he wrote about the Roman Empire as early as the 1980s.

"A Roman gladiator stood in the middle of the arena and looked up at the king, waiting for him to decide on life and death. The king stretched out his thumb and showed an unforgivable expression, ready to make a gesture to kill the loser. This is from the masterpiece of Jean Leon Gerome, a 19th-century French academic painter."

When the other party was interviewed by ABC TV, he talked freely, "This painting reminded me of the glory and evil of the Roman Empire. From that moment on, I was deeply attracted, so I decided to write a script about the ancient Roman Empire. In my subsequent research, I found that all aspects of Roman culture were related to the arena, which was the center of all social classes at that time, so I believed that the arena was the ideal place for the script story to take place."
