This is an era of information and an era of the Internet. In April, Amazon and Ryan signed an agreement to officially launch the electronic version of "Harry Potter". In just twelve hours, the sales of the entire series reached more than 500,000 sets, which also boosted the sales of physical books in bookstores. They sold 93,000 physical "Harry Potter" books in just 60 minutes, and sold an average of 21 copies per second in a day, breaking the record of book sales speed. ()

Subsequently, at a franchise show in California, more than 80 companies around the world purchased peripheral franchises for the "Harry Potter" series from Walt Disney, involving more than 2,000 products, which brought up as much as 1.1 billion US dollars in revenue this time.

After the news came out, Hollywood's eyes were once again focused on the "Harry Potter" series, and Disney Pictures also officially announced that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released on this year's Thanksgiving Christmas.

The Harry Potter series has already fallen into his family. Although Ryan has long announced that he will focus on his film career and give up his development in other aspects, his past and current literary works are undoubtedly the focus of many film companies.

Especially the Hunger Games, a utopian-like youth novel, has become increasingly popular after its launch. It was one of the highest-selling books in the United States last year. So far this year, second only to the Harry Potter series and the Da Vinci Code, has had a strong response among teenagers.

After entering 2004, feminist and homosexual movements continued to emerge, and the self-awareness of the newly emerging female group was constantly strengthening. Although this could not have an essential impact on the patriarchal society, literary and artistic works similar to these two aspects gradually flourished.

Teenagers and female audiences, as well as naive adult female audiences, have always been the largest audience for Disney fairy tale movies, and even movies like "The Princess Diary". The proportion of female audiences is close to 60%.

Films that take women as the main perspective undoubtedly have huge market potential. Many companies have tested Ryan's transfer of "The Hunger Games" adaptation, but were rejected without exception.

Just in late April, Walt Disney announced that the "Hunger Games" project was officially launched, and Sophia Coppola will take charge of the film's director. The most important candidate for the heroine will be Natalie Portman, and the initial investment in the film will not be less than $100 million.

Many feminist organizations are excited. After all, there are several super-large productions in Hollywood, from authors to starring and directors, all of which are women in charge of their super productions?

But Hollywood industry insiders don't think so, because they know that there is a man's big hand behind the scenes controlling all this.

Similarly, Natalie and the others would not see this way.

"It's just to attract female audiences." Natalie directly revealed the essence of the facts.

The sun was particularly bright today. Ryan sat under the sun umbrella in the small garden, took an apple from the fruit tray on the table, and threw it to Scarlett Johnson, who had just sat down.

"It's not just that." Ryan picked up another apple and stumbled in his hand.

"Am I the kind of teenager who needs to be saved?" Ryan shook his head directly.

"How about Gale? Hawthorne?" Natalie suggested again.

It seems like this is a character who spends most of the time playing soybeans in the movie?

After thinking about it, Ryan said, "How do you think I play a big villain? For example, Kato."

The film has just begun to be prepared, and even the script is under the writing of Susan Collins and Sophia Coppola. It is impossible to enter the shooting period in a few months.

If nothing unexpected happens, the movie will also be filmed in Australia.

Walt Disney just announced its production plan, and New Zealand and Australia both found it and wanted to become the filming location of this big production. However, based on various factors, Disney's first choice must be Australia.

Because of the necessary youthful and fashionable elements of the film, Ryan also contacted several of Hollywood's most prestigious makeup artists and fashion designers.

Anyway, it just designs how to please teenagers and female audiences. As for the reputation of film critics? How many movie audiences, especially teenagers, care about them now.

After dinner, Scarlett Johnson was sent away, and Ryan sat in the room with Natalie to watch TV shows.

"Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" is about to be released. During prime time, you can see commercials for this movie from time to time. As the final work of George Lucas' publicly declared by Star Wars, this movie is quite eye-catching.

Even the media reported that after April began, many fanatical Star Wars fans resigned and began to review all Star Wars works from scratch to welcome the last moments of this series.

"Will this really be the last one?" leaned obliquely on the sofa, Natalie poked Ryan on the other side with her bare feet.

"What do you think?" Ryan grabbed her calves and scratched the soles of her feet a few times. Princess Natalie laughed and gasped, "Stop making trouble, talk about serious matters."

"How could Hollywood producers let go of the sequel as long as it is profitable?" Ryan lets Natalie go.

"But George can't make a fuss, right?"

Hearing Natalie say this, Ryan reminded her, "Don't forget that George is already thinking about retirement. With George's personality, he may sell Lucasfilm after retirement and concentrate on operating Industrial Light and Magic. Will the company he took over at that time give up the golden sign of Star Wars?"

"You...wouldn't you want to take over?" Natalie asked tentatively by supporting her body.

Ryan shook his head, "No such plan yet."

There are so many projects that can make money, and now is not the time to consider these things. After all, George Lucas will have several years to retire.

When he came back from Australia a few days ago, he saw Natalie using social networking sites circulating among Harvard students. He immediately remembered her junior at Harvard and immediately called Scott to try to contact the other party.

Because he had almost no contact with him in his previous life, he had heard more about the name "Facebook" and actually didn't know about it. Otherwise, he would have found someone to come up with it. His current goal is not big, he just wanted to become one of the shareholders.

This website has just been launched shortly after it was launched. In the past life, he accepted so many investments including Hong Kong. In the end, Mark Zuckerberg only had about 10% of his shares left.
