This is a celebration party held within Disney. There are two protagonists, one is "Avengers", which is rampant in North America and overseas film markets, and the other is "Avatar", which has just been launched from North America and other parts of the world.

Among them, the latter's global box office has reached 3 billion US dollars. Although there are still a small number of screenings overseas, they are basically areas where the screening rights are bought out, and the box office generated has nothing to do with Disney.

Jos Whedon and James Cameron are naturally the focus of tonight. Although the latter's great success is a bit unexpected, some people can always think of it. After all, the King of the World has had crazy precedents; the former successfully merged the Avengers and created the third masterpiece in North America with a box office of over 500 million US dollars, which is surprising.

"Alison."

After a social event, Ryan found a place where the group of children play. This was a celebration party inside Disney. Many people took their families to attend, "I'm optimistic about these little guys."

"Lily is there..." Taylor, who was sitting in the chair, pointed to Lily Mo Xin, the oldest among a group of children, "Don't worry."

"godfather……"

Perhaps he discovered Ryan, and a little guy suddenly ran over. Ryan rubbed her forehead, "Aipol, where is your mommy?"

"I'm chatting with my godmother."

Aipol Martin, who was about to enter elementary school, pointed to the other side and said, "They don't play with me."

"godfather……"

Lily led Sandy over, "Dad..."

"Hey, dears."

Seeing George Lucas coming here, Ryan said, "You guys keep going."

After saying that, he left here.

"Ryan."

"Hello, George."

He shook hands with George Lucas, and Ryan made a gesture to the chair on the side. "I heard you went around the world some time ago?"

"Yes, I haven't relaxed so much in a long time."

George Lucas is a smart man. Since he chose to withdraw from Lucasfilm, he simply left North America in order not to affect Disney and Catherine Kennedy's optimization of Lucasfilm.

"Interested in serving as a special counsel for the new Star Wars?"

After a few words of the two, Ryan turned the topic to the preparations for the seventh part of "Star Wars" which will begin in the second half of the year. "Maybe you can give some advice."

"Forget it." George Lucas shook his head, "Ryan, I really want to quit commercial production."

"Oh well."

Ryan did not insist, and these words were more polite. George Lucas was good at the structure of background and worldview, but was clumsy in handling details. This has been fully revealed in the Star Wars series. Star Wars took 30 years to form a complete worldview in the hearts of movie fans. If the subsequent sequels want to continue to succeed, optimization of details is essential.

These are exactly George Lucas' weaknesses.

After talking to George Lucas for a few words, many people came over and sat around. Speaking about some recent topics about Disney, and even the battle between Disney and News Corp became the content of internal discussions in Disney. As a complete winner, Disney employees also had the privilege of belittling their opponents.

"How are you thinking about the sequel?" Ryan discussed "Avatar" with James Cameron. "Do you have any ideas?"

"I just hope you can prepare a huge check." James Cameron always cares about technology and funding issues.

"I don't think anyone on Disney's side would object." Ryan himself would not object.

With the great success of "Avatar", the production cost of the sequel will definitely increase, but correspondingly, a considerable amount of the later promotional cost will be saved. These can be classified as production cost.

Recently, many people or companies have come into contact with James Cameron. They all have the same intentions to join the sequel project of "Avatar" on the premise of getting James Cameron in order to get a share of it.

However, the truck driver ignored them. After all, his cooperation with Ryan has always been pleasant, and Disney will provide him with sufficient production costs and sufficient set and post-production rights. Who knows whether the newly added investors will become a constraint.

"dad……"

Sandy's voice suddenly sounded from behind, Ryan turned her head and she walked over a few steps, "Hello, Godfather."

"Hey, little guy."

James Cameron rubbed Sandy's blonde hair, "I thought you didn't remember me."

Sandy smiled sweetly at him, then grabbed Ryan's hand, "Dad, I want to go find mommy."

"Where is sister?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Taylor is talking to Scarlett." Sandy pouted and said dissatisfied, "She ignores me."

"Okay, let's go find mommy."

Ryan stood up and said to Cameron, "Jim, let's talk if you have time."

Holding her daughter, Ryan walked around the banquet hall and found Nicole's place. There were not many people sitting in the place, and the atmosphere was quite cold. No one would be so stupid that he would go over to say hello and greet him at such moments, because the person sitting opposite Nicole was... Charlize Theron.

"Mommy..."

Breaking away from Ryan's hand, Sandy ran directly to her mother, and then shouted to the opposite side, "Hello, godmother."

Ryan could see that Nicole's face seemed a little unfair.

"Mommy..."

The little guy seemed to notice it. She looked at Nicole and then at Charlize, "Did you have a fight?"

"How could it be, my dear."

The person who spoke was Charlize, Sandy bit her finger and said seriously, "This is what Mommy was like when she quarreled with her dad."

"What are you talking about?"

Pulling a chair, Ryan sat in the middle of the two, "Can you tell me?"

"Isn't your script finished?" Charlize tilted his head and teased Sandy with his eyes, saying to Ryan. "I think Nicole might be interested in the characters inside."

"Is that true?" Ryan turned his head, "Nicole?"

Nicole did not answer, but stared at Charlize tightly. South African Diamond was not showing any weakness, looking at Nicole with almost the same eyes.

"You two..." Ryan couldn't help but frown.

Then, the eyes of both of them moved to him at the same time, as sharp as a knife.

"Who are you going to find as a director?" Nicole suddenly asked.

"Natalie..." Ryan had no intention of hiding it, "she has agreed to be the director of this series."

Nodding, Nicole said with clarity, "Have you planned for a long time?"

"It's not too long." Ryan tilted his head and looked at Nicole, "It's just that I have this idea, and it depends on your opinions in detail."

If several people object, Ryan would not force himself. He just wanted to use this to ease the relationship between the few people, unlike now, every time he met, he was like seeing a life-and-death enemy.

Nicole treats Charlize well, but it is a problem with Natalie. How many years have the two of them not spoken? It seems that he can't remember it.

“Kidman Studios can take on part of the investment.”

Suddenly, Nicole changed into a business attitude, "One-third or half of it is OK. I can be a producer, but I won't play any role."

It is simply impossible to let her perform under the command of "Director Portman". In turn, producers can restrict the director in many places.

"You don't think about it anymore."

Before Ryan could speak, Charlize Theron spoke, "The opportunity is rare."

"It's better to leave this opportunity to others." Nicole's attitude was very firm.

Then, she stood up and walked towards the other side, while giving her daughter a wink. Sandy waved to Charlize and came over tacitly to pull Ryan, "Dad, let's go."

He waved his hand to Charlize, and Charlize made a gesture of nothing. Ryan took Sandy and walked out of the banquet hall.

Back in the car in Malibu, Ryan tidied up Sandy's somewhat messy hair. Nicole across the street kept looking out the window and didn't say much after getting in the car.

"Mommy seems to be angry." Sandy whispered in Ryan's ear, "I'm still angry with you, Dad."

"Dear." Ryan looked at Nicole, "What are you thinking?"

"In this regard..." Nicole's eyes turned back from the window, "You are even more naive than I thought."

Ryan made a gesture to Nicole to continue.

"You want to play Arthas Minaihill, right?"

Seeing Ryan nodding, Nicole continued, "I'm playing Jaina Prodmore or Sylvanas? One of the Wind Walkers?"

“It just ruins the movie.”

Regardless of Ryan's thoughts, Nicole took a few deep breaths and his tone turned calm, "Don't be naive, Ryan, it's the best situation now. If you stick to your own ideas, it will only turn the set into a battlefield. Charlize Theron is very smart and sleek. Maybe she can make a certain degree of concession, but don't forget that Natalie Portman is as proud as me."

Hearing Nicole's words, Ryan couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. Perhaps he had always felt good to control Disney over the years. He gradually had more ideas, but forgot another point, they were not Disney after all!

As Nicole said, Charlize might not be the problem, the problem is that Nicole and Natalie, who once had a great relationship and then hated each other, really only treat the movie with a working attitude?

Maybe what I thought was really too simple and too naive.

He could almost foresee the tit-for-tat scene between Nicole and Natalie, one of the heroines.

The rest of the time, the silent man became Ryan, a matter that was obviously not as far as Charlize thought, and was far from what he expected, and he could not ask for more of them.

It seems that giving up is the best choice? (To be continued...)
