Rebirth in Hollywood

The spacious restaurant is a long oak dining table. The dining table is a transparent floor window, and the floor-to-floor window made by tempered glass is used, so that the Malibu Beach is fascinating. If you open the small windows, slightly fleet cool Sea breeze, like a lover's hand, gently drive every inch of the restaurant.

Several people sit on both sides of the table, constantly laughing, Sandy occasionally children, will also cause a laughter.

You don't have to look at it, and you know that the atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious, it is obviously not for simple entertainment.

Sitting in Ryan and Nicole, it is George Lucas and his girlfriend Maxi Hobsen, the former does not have to say more, and the latter is Disney's executive, she is a dream factory animation studio animation The chairman of the department.

George Lucas and Magleadi? Hobsen starts dating since 2006, when many people fell in the glasses, the reason is very simple, Maxi Hobson is a pure black, although the slogan against racial discrimination Shouting breath, but Hollywood can be one of the most serious circles of race discrimination.

Good in Maglei? Hobsen is not a black person who is born in the traditional black community. She has been good, accepted higher education, her family is also the mainstream middle class, perhaps with black skin white heart coconut people to describe Will be appropriate, otherwise George Lucas and his children will not accept her.

Of course, just like Will Smith or Olycopco, it is basically a coconut person.

"French dishes," George Lucas looked at Maglei, Hobsen, who was talking to Nico, said to Ryan, "very authentic."

"This is Nicole to hire the chef from Paris."

Put down the knife, Ryan to George Lucas raised a cup, "I have no special hobby for food."

"Yeah." George Luasado said, "Hollywood is in a stream, Ryan Jenkins only likes movies."

"Commercial movie."

Ryan deliberately added a sentence, both people laughed.

After laughing, George Lucas said, "It is the business operation to make the movie become the most important cultural entertainment in the world, and it is also commercial to let Hollywood movies conquer the world."

"I very much agree with this." Ryan put down the knife.

"So ..." George Lucas compared a gesture, "You also invest James Cameron again, want to create a movie miracle again?"

"520 million US dollars," George Lucas seems to have some feelings, "Looking at the world, people who dare to take out this big hand invested also have you, Ryan."

"Because I believe James will not let me down." Ryan didn't say much, he and James Cameron jointly got a achievement in the "Titanic", is the biggest approval.

"Movie's investment has increased one dollar," George Lucas seems to be associated with itself, "The pressure of investors and producers will increase very much, and 5 billion is enough to crush many people."

"Do we have always survived under pressure?"

Ryan seems to be very easy. It seems that "Avatar" huge investment has not let him bear too much pressure. Before the film releases, we must worry that the film can be completed on time; the film is released, we must worry that the box office can sell; After the next gear, we must worry that the surrounding products will not be unattended. "

In this circle, investors' pressure is not smaller than the first-line actor, director and producer.

"This pressure I took over forty years." George Lucas seems to think of the situation when I have just started with Francis Kobola, "In 1969, I found a western movie company with Fran, Under his guidance, "five hundred years later", from the time, it was surrounded by stress ... "

He shook his head, "from the director's era, he confronted with the large studio, and later in the twentieth century Fox, I always felt that there was something to press the shoulder."

"Perhaps older," George Lucas seems a bit self-deprecating, "I can't afford it."

"So, do you want to retire?" Ryan used the tone of jokes, see George Lucas nodded slightly, frowned, "George, I remember that you have said to me a few years ago. "

"This time I have to retire." George Lucas doesn't seem to be laughing, "I will no longer participate in commercial movies in the future will turn most energy to experimental movies."

These are not expected by Rurane, and he invited Lucas to be a guest, just because of Catherine? Kennedy heard George Lucas and wants to retire.

Ryan did not continue to extend the topic, but to other respects, several people discussed the current situation in Hollywood, and talked about the "Despicable I" and "How to Tam you" Dragon "topic.

Subsequently, Nicole picked Sandy, with Magleys, Hobsen to visit other places, Ryan and George Lucas went to study.

"George, we are friends for many years."

On the two sofas sitting in the study, Ryan didn't turn circle, and said directly. "Don't know if you are interested in As a Disney shareholder?"

There is no one who speaks 'No', Disney's development and strong who doesn't know, especially the horrible profitability, the whole world is also difficult to find the second profitable Media Group than Disney.

George Lucas did not answer, he clear Ryan has no other words, did not say, do a 'please continue' gesture.

"George," Ryan threw away the tone of the princes, and asked very seriously. "If you retire, how to dispose of the Lucas shadow."

"Disney ..." George Lucas still did not answer, but asked, "Ryan, you are very interested in Lucas shadow?"

"I think there are not many people who are not interested in Lucusian shadings in this world." Ruian stall said, "If you want to sell the Lucas shadow, please give priority to Disney?"

Probably, Jeorgia Lucas slowly said, "Ryan, I can only say this, I personally have very interesting shareholders who have become Disney, but you understand, this is not my own commitment. Things, I can't give you any promises. "

From these words, Ryan clearly heard George Lucas did have the plan to sell Lucas shadow, nodded, "I think Disney's board of directors can add one more member."

This negotiation involving billions of dollars of transactions, cautious and long-term demonstrations is a must process. No one will finalize cooperation intentions in three words, Ryan and George Lucas are no exception, Lucas's attitude Clearly, if he sells the Lucas shadow, it will give priority to Disney.

If someone is far higher than Disney, then I can only say sorry.

Of course, Some words of Ryan faintly mentioned that George Lucas is also very interested, such as with a premium to use Disney stocks to exchange the stock of Lucusian shadow in his hand, and introduce him into the Disney Board.

In short, the two have not achieved clear intentions, but they are very interested in each other.

In fact, Ryan is clear. Under the premise of George Lucas and other shareholders intentionally sell Lucas shadow, the biggest obstacle does not come from the Lucas shadow, but the exterior possible competitors, and There are several Dusi around the ridge.

The Lucas shadow has three major focus projects. First, the industrial light magic, the second is the "Star Wars" series, and the third is the series of "Raising the Billy" series.

Industrial light magic does not have to say carefully, this is the most powerful movie specialties in the world, no one! And the industrial light magic profit is not too much, but it is relatively stable, the business is also relatively, and there is no excessive foreign factor like movies.

For the "Raiders" series, Paradones has a more active voice - Paramount and Lucusian shades have made this series, while having issues - in view of this series of qualities, Ryan also Don't mind Disney and the other party share the benefits.

The biggest trouble is the most profitable "Star Wars" series of Lucas. Even in 2008, the "Star Wars" series of toys and the surrounding products, including DVD and TV network on-demand. It is still a net profit for the Lucas shadow to bring more than 31 million US dollars!

If Disney won the Lucas shadow, it will definitely restart the "Star Wars" series, and the 20th century Fox will become the biggest obstacle.

In the twentieth century, Fox has the permanent issuance of "Star Wars: New Hope", and other five star warfare movies as of May 2030, the cinema, after copyright, and TV network on demand, even in the future " Star Wars "Complete Collection Disc Suit, 20th Century Fox is Disney's obstacles that don't have passed.

Sharing the "Star Wars" in the 20th Century Fox, not to consider, the question is that the 20th Century Fox and News Group just rejected will be so eye-catching the Lucas film falls into the pocket of the Lucas film in Disney. ?

"The Lucas shadow showed extraordinary imagination, and from its founder - George Lucas, there is a story of the story. If the Lucas Film - a world-class movie database Creating unique and never depleted creativity in platform, business, and market, will have long, visible, significant driving force and benefits for Disney. "

This is what the last Disney's highest triplegree group, Robert Egue said in Ryen, the Disney's CEO is like Ryan, and does not hide their desire to Lucas.

In addition to the special effects of Industrial Gobo, the Dishi, a series of classic movie images of the Lucas Film is a valid supplement to the Disney's Library. R1152
