The distance is too far away and I didn't care much at the beginning. Ryan didn't remember it very clearly, but he just had a rough vague impression. In 2012, Walt Disney's six major businesses, including film and television entertainment, media networks, consumer goods, theme parks, resort hotels and interactive media, the revenue of media networks accounted for more than 40% of the total revenue, which is the most important part of revenue.

Of course, the contributions made in film, television and entertainment cannot be ignored. The revenue brought by this business itself is limited, but its derivative products are not only consumer product manufacturing, but also can continue to develop derivative value through Disney's media network, thereby expanding revenue and creating a huge market.

From a single animation production business to a diversified business structure related to the industry, Disney's diversified nodes and cooperation between businesses are the best in the world. Many people on the other side of the previous life even gave it the title of "Disney Model".

However, in the face of the fierce Internet wave, as Ryan said, Disney must make appropriate adjustments, and the sooner such adjustment is opened, the more beneficial it will be for the stable development of the entire group.

It is now 2005, and it is about to be 2006. The young people and post-90s who were ignored in the United States have grown up. For Disney, which is mainly targeting the youth market, they will become an important part of the main audience.

The Internet gene is precisely the gene of young people. They are the most important users of the Internet. Disney attaches great importance to the Internet and undoubtedly attaches importance to its own most important consumer group.

Ryan will not forget that the Internet is user thinking, and there are still many differences from the current Hollywood audience thinking.

The most typical way of thinking is to satisfy what users need, and to follow the trend, not against the trend.

Disney and Ryan are advancing new fairy tales and new animation projects with reform. To a certain extent, it is to cater to future user thinking and tastes.

The popularity of the foundation is prevalent, lily saves the world, Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf are related to blood, etc. In short, as long as the user group who uses the Internet as the main base likes it, his Disney will produce these types of works without hesitation.

After the meeting, in the afternoon, Ryan met with a representative from Sony who had made an appointment in advance. The other party came here to seek support and cooperation. At present, the situation of the entire Sony Group is not very good. In addition to the gradual shrinking of electronics business and the drag of entertainment business by Columbia Pictures, they also face fierce competition in the latest DVD formats.

The bd blue light disc format advocated by Sony is facing severe challenges from the hd format of the consortium led by Toshiba.

Today, Hollywood's film and television works are the absolute mainstream in the world. Whether they can earn Hollywood's support is undoubtedly the key to the outcome of this competition.

After annexing Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures, Disney is the well-deserved world animation overlord. Through Ryan's transfer, it also holds the copyrights of the best films in nearly a decade, such as "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "The Lord of the Rings".

As traditional giants and one of the most influential figures in the United States, if Disney and Ryanken support Sony, they have won half of the business battle.

If Ryan follows the way of thinking in his previous life, he will definitely refuse the Japanese request without hesitation.

However, he is no longer the same as he used to be. In his current position, interests are the primary factor for him to consider these issues.

Ryan did not mean to make things difficult for Sony. He expressed his support for Sony's bd blue light format, and of course he also put forward his own interests. What he wanted was very simple and just purchased several patents for photography technology in Sony.

These are all for further improving the imax3d technology.

The man who sent Sony away. Ryan left the Disney office building and entered the Disney studio not far behind. In an editing room affiliated to Touchstone Pictures, he found Natalie who was working in the later stage of "127 Hours".

He knocked on the door, and Anna, the assistant of Natalie who opened the door inside, took the initiative to let him go aside when he saw that it was Ryan. Ryan nodded to her and walked in softly.

The editing room is not big, less than a hundred square feet. In addition to Natalie, there is also an editor, but they are not working, and it seems that they are resting and exchanging work opinions.

Natalie turned to look at Ryan, gave him a look of waiting, and continued to talk to the editor. Ryan took the coffee handed over by Anna, and simply sat on the chair by the door, waiting patiently.

Not long after, Natalie and the editor turned on the set of films again and continued their work because the film was in the style of documentaries and was filmed using traditional films instead of the increasingly popular digital cameras.

It is said that serious people are the most beautiful. Even if they are facing the plain face, their faces are still rough, but Ryan still feels that Natalie is extremely attractive to herself.

This is a movie dominated by Natalie. Ryan just sat quietly and had no intention of participating in it.

After waiting for an hour, Natalie's crisp voice came from the workbench, "Mingna, let's get here today. There is still plenty of time, enough for us to complete it easily. We will continue next Monday."

"Okay, Nat."

The editor greeted Natalie, smiled at Ryan, packed up his own things, and left the editing room first.

"You ended your work very early today." Natalie walked over with her handbag.

"I'm the boss." Ryan stood up and kissed her face, "so he decided to have a holiday for himself in advance in the afternoon."

Natalie kissed Ryan back on the corner of her mouth and pulled his hand up, "Let's go."

The two walked hand in hand, walking through the somewhat deserted road of the studio, towards the Disney office area.

This Disney-affiliated studio faces the same problem as Universal Studios and Warner Studios, that is, the start-up is seriously insufficient. Not to mention the external rental crew, even most of the films produced by Disney will not be filmed here, but choose to leave California. Overseas areas with larger tax rebates and can pay for the producers are the preferred shooting locations for Hollywood crews.

"It's so deserted." Natalie looked at the studios passing by, not many of which were moved into the crew. "I still remember ten years ago, when I came to Los Angeles, you took me to visit major studios. At that time, you could see crews starting construction everywhere, now..."

She shook her head gently.

“The number of films filmed in Hollywood is now increasing every year.”

This involves the interests of California, the federal government and all aspects, and Ryan can't come up with a good idea in a short period of time. "But there are fewer and fewer crews who are willing to stay in Los Angeles, and the Hollywood movie kingdom has long been unworthy of its name."

What he is talking about is naturally the regional Hollywood.

"Don't Arnold Schwarzenegger want to promote the reform of the movie tax system?"

Walking to the parking area of ​​the electric car, Natalie chose one casually and sat in the passenger seat. Ryan jumped into the driver's seat, started the electric car, and while turning the steering wheel into the main road, he said to Natalie, "The resistance to reform is much greater than the power. In my opinion, it is impossible for Arnold to solve the problem of crew outflow during his tenure."

Not to mention Arnold Schwarzenegger in the past life, the later governor was also helpless in the outflow of the film and television industry, and the measures introduced were simply unable to change this situation.

"I'm going to Canada on the 12th next month." Natalie changed the subject, "Do you have time?"

"Canada?" Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then thought, "I almost forgot that you have to take the film to the Toronto Film Festival."

"It's just a screening." Natalie seemed a little regretful, "We missed the registration time for the competition unit."

Although the Toronto International Film Festival is not mainly award-winning, but is known for its large number of film screenings. It mainly serves the market, if it can win several awards, it is undoubtedly a recognition for a new director like Natalie.

In fact, most Americans regard the Toronto Film Festival as one of the best film festivals in the world, even surpassing the three traditional European film festivals, Berlin, Cannes and Venice. Although there is a regional preference in this regard, the influence of the Toronto International Film Festival is increasing day by day, and more emphasis on commercial competition is also suitable for American tastes.

Ryan calculated silently, as if this year's Toronto Film Festival happened to be in conflict with Paris Fashion Week. He had promised Charlize that he would accompany her to the events held by the CT brand during the Fashion Week.

“Don’t have time?”

Perhaps seeing Ryan did not answer immediately, Natalie said again, "If you are busy with work, I can go by myself."

"Sorry, Nat."

Parking the electric car at the door of the studio, Ryan had no intention of hiding it, "I promised someone else to attend some events at Paris Fashion Week at that time."

"Charlize Theron?"

The pair of brown eyebrows frowned, and Natalie jumped out of the electric car first. When Ryan turned from the other side, she said calmly, "Then forget it."

Before Ryan could reply, she said quickly, "Ryan, it's the weekend tomorrow, I want to go out to sea."

"No problem." Ryan took out his cell phone as he walked, "I'll make arrangements immediately."

After saying that, he quickly called, gave a few simple words, grabbed Natalie's hand, and walked out of the studio. His Rolls-Roz was already waiting here.

"Go to Santa Monica." After getting in the car, Ryan gave the driver a command, then raised the baffle, and said to Natalie, "It will take some time to prepare on the yacht. You can definitely set off before the sun sets."
