Chapter 827 Can an individual really change the world?

Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills, like Burbank, the media capital, is a well-known entertainment industry concentration all over the world. In addition to the innovative artist company Caa, which accounts for half of Hollywood's share, the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox is also located here.

Night had already fallen, and the starry light was isolated outside the window by the dazzling lights in the office. At the luxurious desk, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other, one of them silently, while the other was talking on the phone and occasionally nodding in agreement. Even on the phone, he still maintained enough respect for the person on the other side of the phone.

The person who called was Tom Rossman, co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

A few minutes later, he put down the phone and the person opposite him immediately asked, "Tom, what does Mr. Murdoch mean..."

"Increase the hype and attack on Avatar." Tom Rossman's words were slow, but extremely clear. "To attract Ryan Jenkins and Disney's main energy to this aspect as much as possible, we speed up our contact with Lucasfilm and strive to win Lucasfilm before they react."

"If he and Disney..." Another person obviously had some concerns, "George Lucas had a relationship with him."

"What kind of friendship will play a role in a acquisition of more than three billion dollars?" Tom Rossman said the simplest truth and continued, "We cannot give up the Star Wars series, nor can the head office let it go. Mr. Rupert Murdoch could not see the interests that should belong to Twentieth Century Fox, and was taken away by Walt Disney."

He stressed, "Don't forget that more than ten years ago, he had taken away the "X-Men" series that belonged to us!"

Although Marvel was repurchasing the copyright with real money and even though it was a business that we were willing to do at that time, how could the great success of the "X-Men" series not make people think about it?

Even though that's the case, Tom Rossman's faces were neither good-looking nor too serious. They understood what they were going to do. Twentieth Century Fox was challenging a mountain that enveloped Hollywood. If he was not careful, he might trigger a war between News Corp and Walt Disney.

"Ryan has never been a person who will give up on his own initiative." The person opposite seemed to be reminding Tom Rossman, and seemed to be reminding himself, "We all know what kind of person he is!"

"We! Twentieth Century Fox and News Group!" Tom Rossman knocked the table hard and strengthened his tone, "I will never give up the Star Wars series. Although we have some copyrights, the most profitable peripherals are in the hands of Lucas Pictures. Over the past thirty years, Lucas Pictures has used its peripherals to generate revenue of $28 billion!"

What hidden alliances and personal friendships are just a fragile white paper in front of such huge numbers.

"As for Ryan..." Tom Rossman thought about it, but still revealed a little, "The group company and Mr. Rupert Murdoch will formulate corresponding targeting measures and force him to give up."

"This is best." The man opposite was obviously relieved.

"besides!"

Tom Rossman stressed, "I will personally form a negotiating team with Lucasfilm. This matter is as confidential as possible. Don't forget that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are also shareholders of 20th Century Fox. Although they have limited shares, they must prevent anyone from leaking information to them."

"I understand." The man stood up and walked out of the office.

Tom Rossman sat in a chair and watched the other party walk out of his office silently. His face still did not relax. The media industry in Hollywood and the whole United States may set off another war without gunpowder. Even if he received the full support of News Corp and Rupert Murdoch, he stood in the dark again, but he was not sure.

Just because his opponent is Ryan Jenkins!

Of course, anyone has weaknesses, and Ryan Jenkins has many places for attacks. He is very clear about this, so he supports the resolution of the headquarters.

For example, if "Avatar" really fails as hoped, Ryan Jenkins' status in Disney will definitely be affected, and Disney will also encounter a lot of trouble. In this way, even if the other party notices it in advance, the obstacles encountered by 20th Century Fox will be reduced a lot, and it may be easy to achieve the purpose of the head office.

What's more, 20th Century Fox's "Arvine Floss 2" was released the following week of "Avatar". Even though the audiences of the two are somewhat different, the grading of "Avatar" PG-13 and the pictures that have been displayed are very suitable for people over ten years old. If it is super popular, "Arvine Floss 2" will inevitably be impacted.

People can't always succeed, right? Even if that person is called Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron!

Sitting quietly on the chair, Tom Rossman had no intention of leaving the company. He turned to look out the window. The window was facing Hollywood in the traditional sense. Now, the premiere of "Avatar" is already in progress, right?

News Group has secretly instigated so many film critics, hoping that it can have some adverse effects on the film...

Although I thought so in my mind, Tom Rossman still thought that the group company had made a fool of himself. The group company's management was far away from Hollywood and the film industry and seriously overestimated the decline of film critics. Those people's perception of movies even remained ten years ago.

This is the biggest difference between News Corp and Walt Disney. The film and television industry is one of Disney's core industries, but it is only an important part of News Corp.

if……

Tom Rossman suddenly felt a little scared and excited, if the two major media groups could match...

He had no doubt about this, and Ryan Jenkins's character determined that he would never give in.

Stand up and walked to the window. Tom Rossman looked into the distance. It was the Kodak Theater, the premiere of "Avatar".

There are so many people in front of the Kodak Theater, and the scale and lively premiere are no less than the Oscars. Hundreds of famous Hollywood figures have entered the theater one after another. It seems like ordinary audiences, Hollywood stars also want to watch this first blockbuster in history as soon as possible.

"Can a person really change the whole world? At least from James Cameron, the answer we got is yes."

In the interview area, Ryan and James Cameron are standing together, "because this movie "Avatar" will upgrade the entire industry to an unprecedented level!"

He and James Cameron are like partners who have worked hard to promote this video for many years. They are not worried that they will become laughing stocks in the end. The quality of the film is the source of confidence.

Although "Avatar" was strangely bombarded by film critics during the eve of its release, it did not have too many negative impacts on the publicity, after all, that group did decline.

Even if he had some guesses in his mind, Ryan didn't care too much. The fans were much louder than the critics.

Many movie fans spontaneously speak out for "Avatar" on traditional media and the Internet.

"Looking back at Cameron's filming history, starting from "The Abyss", to "Terminator 2", and then to "Titanic", the investment amount of blockbusters has been repeatedly refreshed, and before each time, a large number of critics believe that they will lose the box office miserably, etc.."

"The most typical one is "Titanic". At that time, the critics said that Ryan and Cameron were the biggest fools in the world. "Titanic" would be the biggest box office disaster of this century... But after the film was released, these people collectively spoke silly. The box office of the film ruthlessly shattered their last face, and it also made people fully realize that professional critics are actually nothing."

"Everyone knows that Cameron is a money-burning machine, but they have the ability to earn back the money they invested, and even if they throw in their own pay, they have to achieve the most perfect effect in their minds! Therefore, there is no need for the majority of movie fans to listen to the outdated film critics, just keep your confidence in Ryan and James Cameron, and wait for the release of "Avatar" to ignite the box office again!"

These words that continue to appear in the media fully reflect the voice of the widest viewing group to treat "Avatar".

When he walked to the poster to take a photo, Ryan saw an interesting scene. Suzy Amis and Catherine Bilogue stood beside Cameron on the left and right, taking a photo with the truck driver without any grudges.

For ex-couples or ex-boys and girlfriends in Hollywood, this is very common. The circle is so big, especially on the top floors. Those people always go back and forth and often meet in public.

Ryan was not familiar with Catherine Biluoge, who was in the movie circle, so he just nodded to each other and walked into the theater with the crew.

The main hall of Kodak Theater has long been transformed into an imax cinema by imax company. imax company has placed more expectations on "Avatar", hoping that this super blockbuster can completely push the imax3d craze that has spread rapidly around the world after "Transformers".

When Ryan sat in his seat, he didn't wait long before the film kicked off. Apart from the subtle changes, this film is roughly not much different from the one he had watched. The film is definitely a huge breakthrough in the film technology. The story and plot are still thin, which makes Ryan feel helpless if he likes humans.

No matter what meaning James Cameron gave to Namei, in the hearts of people like Ryan, being a human being is much better than being a mess.

As for the picture and technology of the film, it is not something that can be described in words. Even if it is piled up with thick and gorgeous words, it is not enough to describe the planet Pandora shown in the film.

Having said that, when watching the video, few people hope that the protagonist will die. After all, that is his own place to enter. But even when Ryan sat here and watched the male protagonist, he still urgently hoped that he would be killed by the human mecha.
