As soon as the sun got up from the east, the manor's cobblestone path sounded tight footsteps. Ryan and Charlize, wearing short sportswear, walked between the woods one after another, allowing their running shoes to break the fallen leaves with dewdrops, leaving traces of the two on the mottled spots of the sun.&{}.{23}{wx}.{}

They were not fast. After running out of the woods, they walked around the garden and finally walked into the restaurant through the back door of the villa.

After taking the towel handed over by the servant, Ryan and Charlize sat at the dining table and waved to the former bodyguard who had obviously been waiting for a while, "Hi, George, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Ryan, if you don't come again."

No longer engaged in serious security work, George would occasionally joke, "I'm going to eat all the breakfast."

"If your stomach is big enough, I have no objection."

Ryan looked at the butler sitting next to Charlize, "I think Lisa certainly doesn't like a fat George."

“Actually.”

Lisa, holding the donut, raised her head and said, "He is already twenty pounds heavier than his normal weight."

"Do you need me to introduce a weight loss coach?" Charlize turned to Lisa, "I promise that in just one month, George will change back."

Ryan has never paid attention to the table manners in private. Several people ate while talking. It took about twenty minutes before they finished their breakfast.

Back in the living room, Charlize and Lisa talked about some trivial matters in daily life, while George talked about what Ryan told him to do some time ago.

"Scott has completed all the procedures for Sandy's trust fund." He flipped through several documents and said softly to Ryan. "The matters about stocks and dividends can be transferred to the trust fund at most by the end of the month."

"The representatives who went to Iran, Touchstone Pictures and Disney Animation Department have two producers who have actively applied for registration."

"And, this month's Google Board of Directors..."

"It's better you join me on my behalf."

After taking the coffee from the servant, Ryan thought for a while, "There is still a board of directors for Blizzard Entertainment next month, and you will also attend the board of directors for me."

George nodded gently and turned to the last page of the document, "This month, Disney's office system was attacked by a hacker because we were prepared and the other party did not cause any losses."

"What do Cook Dick and Robert Iger think?" Ryan frowned slightly.

"Their opinion is to report the case to the FBI."

Listening to George's words, Ryan raised his chin and thought, "Yes. Also, remember to remind them to strengthen cyber protection, private comments between employees and opinions about celebrities, and not to pass them through emails and office systems."

After sending George away, Ryan was still considering hacking, and it was hard to say that it had nothing to do with Iran.

After all, from "Argo" to "The Three Hundred Spartans", although he has not personally made any comments against Iran, I think the Iranian government also knows what role he and the Walt Disney Group played.

Fortunately, I prepared in advance. No losses were caused, but I still can't be careless in the future.

"I'm going to read the script." Charlize stood up and prepared to go to the study upstairs, "Are you with me?"

"certainly."

Ryan walked over and pulled her up the second floor. "I'm going to study my new role."

"You seem to be very concerned." Charlize quickly curled his lips behind Ryan, "I heard that this is the Oscar-striking movie you specially prepared for Director Portman?"

"Hey, dear."

Entering the study, Ryan closed the door and pressed Charlize on the chair behind the desk, "If you want to be a director, I can also write scripts for you."

"I'm not interested in directors." Charlize shrugged. He took the script that was placed next to him, "Why don't we star in this movie together?"

"I remember when I was watching yesterday..." Ryan turned the desk and sat opposite him, "Is the protagonist a black man?"

"If you're willing to act," Charlize opened the script, read it, and said without raising his head. "Sony Columbia Pictures is definitely happy to change the role of the leading actor."

Ryan knew that Charlize was just joking and shook his head, "The style of the whole movie is about to change, you should know that I'm not suitable for the funny type of characters."

"Sony Columbia invited Will Smith." Charlize just nodded slightly.

"It's really a big deal." Ryan took the script of "Black Swan" and flipped it casually, "You two will have nearly half of the cost of the film production."

The new movie they talked about was "Superman Hank". In order to impress Charlize, Sony Columbia Pictures directly offered a $22 million salary, which made South African Diamonds enter the 20 million club in one fell swoop.

"What do you think of the script?" Charlize suddenly asked.

For this purely commercial film, she, like most Hollywood companies, has a blind obedience to Ryan.

"If the director doesn't shoot randomly, plus the appeal of you and Will Smith, the box office problem of the film shouldn't be much." Ryan's eyes fell on the script in Charlize's hand, "How about saying this script..."

"Hmm?" Charlize raised his head.

"I feel like there are two styles in front and back, as if they were written by two people or two teams." Ryan shook his head and joked, "I really suspect that the screenwriter was kidnapped by aliens before he finished writing, forcing Sony Columbia to replace him again."

"I won't joke with you." Charlize's eyes fell back to the script. "I want to study the roles, and the film will not take long to start filming."

Nodding, Ryan put the script of "Black Swan" aside, took the notebook, and looked through the latest work emails.

"Iron Man", the earliest release of Walt Disney summer, just went offline in North America. The box office in North America finally stopped at $348.55 million. Currently, the overseas box office is close to $300 million, and the global box office exceeds $650 million will definitely be fine.

On the other hand, "Iron Man"'s Blu-ray disc began to accept online pre-orders last month, and its current pre-sale sales have reached 2.82 million sets. It is estimated that after the disc is officially launched, North America's sales will exceed 4 million sets in the first week.

Just 4 million CDs can bring nearly $40 million in profits to Disney.

Compared with "Iron Man", "Car Story", which also started pre-sales of Blu-ray discs, is much worse. The current North American reservations are only more than 800,000, and the box office performance is also much worse.

"Car Story" almost fell into a state of stagnation after its North American box office of more than $240 million. The box office performance of this film is indeed much lower than the previous works of Pixar Studios.

However, as the Wall Street Journal commented, it almost became the boy's "Disney Princess series". The peripheral toys in the film have always been very amazing under the strong promotion of Disney.

So far, the global box office of the film is only more than 400 million US dollars. The sales of many peripheral products such as toys, models and cultural shirts have exceeded 500 million US dollars worldwide.

In addition, Disney's gaming department is working on developing a game called "Car Story: Rapid Lightning", and the amusement park company is investigating and demonstrating the feasibility of changing an old parking lot at Disney Adventure Park in California to a "Racing World" amusement area.

The best performance in business is "Jurassic Park 3", a film with 3D and Imax as its main selling points. Although the dinosaur boom caused by it is far from being compared with when "Jurassic Park" was released, the high ticket prices of 3D and Imax make up for the gap in the number of viewers.

After more than a month of screening, the film's North American box office has steadily approached US$400 million, and the global box office is about to reach the 1 billion mark.

Perhaps for professionals, this is just an ordinary film showing off visual effects, but it has extraordinary significance to the entire film industry in North America.

The great commercial success of "Jurassic Park 3" fully demonstrates the benefits that 3D and IMAX can bring, greatly accelerating the speed of increasing 3D screens and building IMAX theaters in North America and even the world.

Less than two months after the first week of "Jurassic Park 3" was released, 170 3D screens have been added in North America alone, and nearly 50 imax theaters are under intense construction.

Following the trend is a common phenomenon all over the world.

There is also "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", as the finale of the trilogy, the global box office of this film is slowly approaching $1 billion, and the subsequent sequel, due to the need to change the director, starring, and tug-of-war negotiations with Johnny Depp, will inevitably not be launched in the short term.

In addition to the film, Walt Disney is also slowly gaining stocks in DreamWorks Animation Studios. The shares held by Disney Group are infinitely close to five percent that must be disclosed to the market.

Of course, Disney is not without failures. For example, "The Path of Glory" released by Bowei International, which has a total investment of more than $60 million, only to exchange for a North American box office of $32.64 million, especially in the overseas box office that is increasingly important to Hollywood, it is even more terrible.

This film released at the beginning of this year has been introduced so far by only three overseas regions, Germany, New Zealand and Australia, and has only received a pitiful overseas box office of US$290,000. The film's weak performance directly affects the confidence of overseas publishers. Unless it is forcibly bundled with other films, it is difficult to find other overseas publishers.

The overseas box office revenue that "Path of Glory" can only be said to be better than nothing. Disney has no plans to bundle sales. It is currently negotiating with some overseas companies to sell DVD video tape copyrights.
