When promoting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Weinstein Pictures, which was responsible for the release, was extremely targeted. It was based on the settlements of Chinese in North America and spread to the audience who like Hong Kong films. It won nearly 1,500 theaters, half of which were close to the Chinese community, thus ensuring the most basic number of attendees.

Ang Lee is not a director who has just come to Hollywood. He has a certain appeal. In addition, the core of the movie is completely Western-style thinking. After Halloween, he logged into North America's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and won more than 16 million US dollars and more than 18 million US dollars in two weeks.

The word-of-mouth reputation of the movie has obviously driven the subsequent box office. Strictly speaking, this is still a niche movie, and the subsequent box office cannot continue to maintain such results. However, Weinstein Pictures signed ultra-long screening contracts with most theaters, and many of them will even last until next year's Oscars.

Moreover, the fat man accepted Ryan's proposal, and all overseas release plans were pushed after March next year.

"This incident may cause some trouble for our PR." The topic of both sides quickly shifted to the plagiarism incident. Harvey Weinstein said bluntly, "Ryan, I have seen sample films at Jenkins Pictures. With the advantages accumulated in the past, I have a great chance of winning this time. It is hard to say now, so we must increase the intensity of PR."

"If it's easy, how can you do it?" Ryan patted his arm, who was afraid of him. "It's still the same rule, Harvey, say hello to Pat if you need anything."

Nodded. Harvey Weinstein suddenly lowered his voice and asked in a vague manner, "War is inevitable?"

Ryan did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Have, don't you want to get Miramax back?"

"Of course!" Harvey Weinstein put away his smile, "I dreamed that Michael Eisner stepped down!"

Seeing someone passing by, Harvey Weinstein's face changed back. His expression was as good as a skill on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. "Ryan, how about transferring the adaptation rights of a novel to me?"

"Which novel?" Ryan will definitely not give it to him.

"It's the one that bought the game adaptation rights by the Japanese."

"Resident Evil?" Ryan instantly remembered this novel that was almost forgotten.

"Yes." The fat man nodded and said, "You don't seem to pay much attention to the game. After the Japanese adapted it into the game, they sold very well."

"I heard Pat say a few years ago that the Japanese wanted to continue to buy the movie adaptation rights, but you refused." Harvey Weinstein showed the essence of a profiteer, "The Japanese game has made a lot of publicity for us. Why don't we adapt it into a movie?"

Ryan recalled it and had some impression that after the Japanese adapted it into the game, Alice became a soy sauce player again. This is also good. If the movie follows the content of the game completely, it may really turn into a tragedy. It would be better to return to Alice's main line.

"Co-production." Ryan made the decision immediately, "I asked the screenwriter team to come up with the script as soon as possible."

It seems that Luc Besson's ex-wife has not been very good in Hollywood since "The Fifth Element". Such R-rated films must be controlled by investment. Her pay is not much higher now. After the script is completed, people can ask her to talk to her.

"Charlie..." Harvey Weinstein looked at Ryan hesitantly, "You should have watched Ryan's "Resident Evil"?"

After Charlize nodded, he continued, "Don't you know you're interested in Alice?"

"Me?" Charlize obviously didn't expect him to ask, and couldn't help but look over. Ryan gave her a look of making up his own ideas. After thinking about the diamond, he shook his head, "Sorry, Harvey, I have other shooting plans."

"That's a pity." Harvey Weinstein was about to say goodbye, but Ryan suddenly called him, "Harvey, next year..."

His head turned slightly to Charlize and gestured a little golden man.

"Okay, okay, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein deliberately reminded, "Don't forget Miramax."

Although the two of them had a vague opinion, Charlize couldn't hear the meaning. He held Ryan's arm and tightened it unconsciously. Compared to the things he could obtain, it would be no big deal to make a certain sacrifice for the character Erin Vornos.

"What I promised you will definitely come true." Ryan comforted her and walked towards the crowd with her hand, "I'll introduce some friends to you."

Charlize understood that those who could let Ryan introduce him solemnly must be an important member of his circle.

Although the two senior female executives at Jenkins Films only maintained basic politeness, and a little girl who looked like a boy even had hostility when she looked at her, Charlize understood that she had to integrate into this circle, both for the people around her and for herself.

Many people introduced were known to her before, but now she felt different when she shook hands with them. Many people who used to be very cold to her became much more enthusiastic, all of which was because of the people standing around her.

In this world of fame and fortune, how difficult is it for a woman to gain the same status as a man?

After working hard in Hollywood for so many years, Charlize knew very well that if this is a patriarchal society, Hollywood is the most typical representative.

As powerful as Nicole Kidman, if it weren't for Ryan around her, could she stand such a high position?

Finally, he came to Pixar's top leaders. As soon as Charlize said hello to them, Ryan said, "It's almost time. You go to the screening room to wait for me first. You have something to talk to Ed and John."

Seeing Ryan and Pixar's core personnel walking to the lounge on the second floor, Charlize entered the screening room and the movie soon began. This kind of animated film of all ages was not very suitable for her appetite. She sat in her seat bored and had not yet gotten rid of the excitement just now. She thought what kind of surprise should she give to that guy in the future?

It seems that when I was at home, Ryan was very interested, so it was better to...

Before I knew it, more than ten minutes passed by the movie, and neither Ryan nor Pixar's people had come back.

Do they have something important?

Charlize looked towards the entrance from time to time, and ten minutes later, Pixar's people walked in first, and Ryan never showed up.

"Where is Ed, Ryan?"

Ed Kaml's seat was right in front of her.

"Oh, I'm still in the lounge upstairs. I feel a little uncomfortable. I guess I'll get down in a while."

Hearing the other party's words, Charlize immediately stood up, "Then I'll go over and take a look."

When he arrived at the lounge on the second floor, Charlize knocked on the door and walked in. He saw Ryan sitting there alone in a daze. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dear, what happened?"

"Nothing." Ryan didn't expect that he had found a reason to send others away, and actually led Charlize up. "I just thought of something and wanted to think quietly."

"Do you need me to leave?" Charlize walked over.

"It's already considered." Ryan stood up and was about to pull her back, while Charlize pushed him back into the chair. "The movie is almost halfway there, are you planning to go in?"

"You're not interested?" Ryan didn't quite understand what she wanted to do.

"I'm more interested in you."

As he said that, Charlize sat on him, gently licked his ear beads with his long tongue, and tied the corner of his evening dress to the base of his legs with one hand, and landed the hard place under his butt, "Dear, didn't you think about it when you were at home?"

"You want to be here?" Ryan's hand unceremoniously penetrated into the evening dress and took off the breast patch from his chest.

"I've never tried the feeling in a theater?"

Charlize pulled out the hand that was making trouble in his chest, threw it back, squinted his watery eyes, and gently bit Ryan's nose, "Don't say you don't want to..."

Before he could finish his words, Ryan blocked her red lips. As soon as his hand reached down, Charlize suddenly pushed him away.

The South African American Diamond jumped off him, walked to the table where the coffee cup was placed, and gently pushed it with her hand, and several porcelain cups rolled on the ground. She didn't care about the brown liquid flowing on the table, and lay on it, patted her hips hard, making a crisp invitation-like sound.

How many people can refuse such an invitation? Ryan definitely won't. He came to Charlize's back in just two steps and pulled open the corner of his evening dress...

The sound insulation effect of the lounge is not very good. From time to time, vague footsteps and speech sounds came from outside. Charlize flipped his body, blurred his eyes, and bit Ryan's shoulder hard so that all the sounds were completely pressed into his throat.

When the beautiful body below trembled violently, Ryan felt a sharp pain coming from his shoulders. If he didn't have to look at it, he would definitely be bitten and bleeding.

"Charlie..."

Before he could finish his words, Charlize's red lips blocked his lips, and the fragrance of South African diamonds and a faint smell of blood came into his mouth at the same time.

Less than ten minutes before the end of the movie, Ryan and his two were not allowed to enter. Fortunately, Charlize's makeup was messy, his evening dress was covered with coffee and other liquids, his blonde hair was scattered and his eyes were blurred. When someone with a little experience saw it, he would definitely guess what the two had just done.

"You're too much, Ryan."

When he walked towards the back door of the theater, Charlize could still feel the position of his butt was cold, "What if someone saw it?"

"No." Ryan took off his coat from his dress and surrounded her waist. "It's not my fault, Charlie, you're so wild every time."

He unconsciously rubbed his shoulders.

"Does it still hurt?" Charlize turned his head and blew a light breath.

“It’s much better.”
