Malibu is famous in North America for its beautiful scenery. In addition to beautiful beaches and luxurious beach villas, there are also several famous private business clubs. These are often places for wealthy and celebrities to relax and discuss business, and are also places for many people to gather.

Among them, there is a club that belongs to Harvey Weinstein. Because of the relationship between the two parties for many years, Ryan occasionally comes here for a walk.

The green field was divided into tennis courts with floral fences. Ryan was standing on one of them, moving his footsteps, waving his slap with one hand, and the yellow tennis ball was easily crossing the net. Taylor on the opposite side moved his long legs and responded with flexible steps and powerful return.

Just looking at the level of the two, it is also good at the amateur level, especially Taylor. As he grows older and grows taller, his level improves very quickly.

Of course, she is a minor girl after all. As long as she stalemates for a few shots, she will always lose and scream in anger.

Miss Swift certainly wouldn't have the ladylike demeanor when there were no outsiders.

"Ryan, if you keep winning..."

After sorting out the tennis skirt, Taylor threw the ball cap aside, revealing his curly hair, "I have prepared another racket for you, a table tennis racket!"

"Okay, my dear, rest now." Ryan walked towards the rest area next to the court first, and when Taylor came to him, he handed over the towel and functional drinks one after another. "You are growing up and you can't over-exercise."

"I know." The little girl nodded, wiped off her sweat, and sat under the sun umbrella. "The fitness coach and nutritionist have both told her."

The gentle sea breeze could be felt here, not hot. Ryan wiped off the sweat from his face and sat next to her, "Look at the time. Why is this guy Harvey so slow?"

"Half an hour has passed." Taylor looked at her children's watch, sweeping around with her big, smart eyes, deliberately making an adult tone, "The negotiations are not that fast."

Then, she asked curiously, "Will there be a market for Chinese movies in North America?"

"Who knows?" Ryan shrugged, unscrewed the functional beverage bottle, and took a few sips.

"I went to Disney some time ago and heard from someone else." The little girl's gossip news has always been well-versed. She said while watching the blonde girl practicing on the tennis court opposite, "Harvey introduced a movie from China, but it only took three days to screen, and it was removed because there were no audiences."

"He won't lose money, right?" the pair of small brows frowned.

There is always a difference between people's closeness and distantness. Harvey Weinstein is also an old man in Ryan's circle. He has treated Taylor very well over the years, so it is normal for her to worry about it.

Ryan laughed, "Harvey has more experience in how to operate foreign language movies than us. He will always find investments in videotapes and other markets."

With the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" across the ocean, Huayi also started large-scale publicity and talent shows in accordance with the prior agreement. It is said that the momentum and scale are quite good, and Ryan will naturally fulfill his promise to bring their movies here and try to push them to the North American market.

This is purely an exchange of interests. It has nothing to do with anything else. If the other party’s movie is not popular, whether it is him or Harvey Weinstein, he will naturally not waste resources to promote it.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Taylor suddenly pulled him, pointed to the tennis court opposite and said, "That girl serves so fast, is it a hundred miles per hour?"

Ryan also saw that opposite was a blond girl of the same age as Taylor. She was burly, with big arms and round waists. Her body clearly contained the top power among women.

After a series of warm-ups, she began serving practice. Her serving posture is very standard, and her speed and strength are completely at the professional level.

"Ryan, I can guarantee it." Taylor couldn't help but take a tennis ball and threw it in his hand. "You are definitely not her opponent."

"Dear, I can't catch this serving speed alone." Ryan snatched the tennis ball in her hand, patted it gently, and admitted directly, "She can play professional games, how can we be opponents?"

“It’s better…”

The royal blue eyes just turned around and Ryan flicked her forehead. Taylor couldn't help but glared, "This will make you stupid, hum~ Dear Ryan, I will definitely say to Nicole, to Nat, and Charlie, you have fallen in love with another woman."

"Hey, Alison, this is not something you should care about!" Ryan also widened his eyes. Taylor was not afraid of him at all. "Hmph, don't think I don't understand what love is. I'm growing up and I'm about to be thirteen! Ryan, you..."

Seeing the figure walking from afar, the little girl immediately stopped talking. She would never say that her brother was not good in front of outsiders.

"Hi, Harvey." Taylor stood up and greeted the fat man who was walking over.

If she hadn't been wearing tennis skirts and tennis shoes, she would have been a standard British lady.

"Who is that person?"

After Harvey Weinstein sat opposite Ryan, Taylor couldn't wait to ask about the blonde girl next door.

"It should be Russian." Harvey Weinstein looked at the opposite side, and seemed to know the name, and said without caring. "It seems that he came to Malibu for vacation from Miami. He worked very hard and insisted on training every day."

"Taylor." Ryan suddenly spoke, the little girl turned her head and looked at him curiously, "Do you know her?"

"I don't know." Shaking his head, Ryan said to her, "When I saw Pat, let her come here to contact the girl and her family. Isn't KK's agency developing into the sports world? Maybe she will be a potential stock."

"That's it? I'll call her now."

The little girl took out her cell phone from her bag and called Pi Jinsli.

As Ryan said, the tentacles of KK agency slowly penetrated into the sports world. Although they did not sign many big-name sports stars, they gradually opened up the situation. If the six-foot-tall Russian girl on the opposite side did not admit her mistake, she should be the Russian tennis star who was extremely successful in business in his previous life.

"How are you talking?" Ryan turned the topic back to Harvey Weinstein's side.

"It's pretty smooth." Harvey Weinstein took out a bottle of functional drink from the box next to him and unscrewed the lid. "They agreed to sell the North American copyright of "Heroes".

"I took down the screening rights, TV copyrights, DVD and video tape copyrights, and all the surroundings." He added.

"The people from Huayi called you a liar?" Ryan laughed. After all, the person who negotiated with the fat man was introduced by Huayi.

Of course, this is just a joke. Wang Zhongjun has been in the United States for many years, so how could he not understand the North American film market? The movie was screened in twelve North American theaters for three consecutive days, with a total box office of only a few thousand dollars, and there is only one way to go.

As for whether the director across the ocean would be so angry that he jumped into scammers, would Hollywood care about them?

Huayi and Ryan cooperated entirely based on interests. They worked so hard to promote the Harry Potter series because they could benefit from a series of activities. Moreover, these people have recently been in contact with Ryan's team and want to introduce "American Idol" to the other side as soon as possible.

The topic between the two is naturally inseparable from movies. After buying Miramax back from Disney, the Weinstein brothers merged Weinstein Pictures with it and formed a new Miramax, which has become the largest second-tier company.

Of course, Ryan is also the major shareholder.

The highlight of the new Miramax's formation is Quentin Tastino's latest work "Kill Bill", which has now entered the casting stage.

"Requiring a lot of Asian actors and action guidance from Hong Kong?"

After hearing Harvey Weinstein's words, Ryan nodded and said, "I will say hello to the people from the Far East Company, ask them to contact Quentin and recommend the right candidate."

"Is the heroine sure?" Ryan couldn't help but think of the bride.

"Do you have any recommendation?" Harvey Weinstein naturally understood what he meant, "Qentin is more Uma Thurman. Of course, it's not impossible to replace it."

Ryan thought for a while and finally shook his head. "Forget it."

Charlize may not like to make action movies, but let her choose what to do next.

After chatting for a while, the sun gradually turned to the west. Ryan waved to the other side, shouted back to the bored Tyler who was watching the training next door, and prepared to say goodbye.

"Ryan, I heard you rejected a big investment project from Touchstone Pictures?" Harvey Weinstein asked suddenly when he took them to the parking lot.

"Yes." Ryan took the racket bag handed over by Taylor and carried it on his shoulder. "David Franzoni threw a script at Touchstone Pictures. You should know that if you want to make a good movie, it is difficult to reduce the production cost to less than 100 million US dollars, and epic movies..."

He sighed, "The investment is big, the profit is small, and you will lose money if you make a mistake."

"David looked for me again." Harvey Weinstein quickly made a decision when he saw Ryan's judgment. "It seems that I can only say sorry to him."

"Harvey, epic movies have entered a bottleneck."

Walking to the electric car, Ryan signaled Taylor to tie his seat belt, then sat in the driver's seat, and continued to say to Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting next to him, "If you don't find another way and use other methods to attract audiences, this type will soon become another pirate series, especially after next year's "Return of the King."

The series "Gladiator" and "The Lord of the Rings" have been successful one after another, which has stimulated major Hollywood film companies. Epic projects have entered the agenda. As far as Ryan knows, Time Warner has offered more than $150 million respectively, and is promoting the two epic projects "Troy" and "Alexander the Great".

Ridley Scott was also ambitious and wanted to bring the Crusades to the screen.

Next year's "Return of the King" will bring epic to a peak, and the peak will definitely be a trough. In addition, such movies of the same type are released in a crowded manner. What will be the result then? (To be continued...)
