How can we betray our relatives?

Ryan's situation now seems to confirm this in the eyes of outsiders. Except for a retail shareholder who is completely negligible, such as Drew, it seems that all Pixar people have abandoned him and threw themselves into Disney's arms.

Because there is a certain uncertainty in the future, both sides have temporarily remained silent. Those who were familiar with the matter did not feel much surprise except for being slightly surprised by Nicole Kidman's choice. After all, this is the most realistic Hollywood, and the benefits that Disney can bring must be greater than that of a young man in his early twenties.

Media on both sides of the Atlantic are still hyping up Manchester United's acquisition case. Several fan organizations that hold stakes in Manchester United publicly stated that they will never sell their equity. After announcing that they will give up the leveraged acquisition, the "Red Football" company slowed down and obviously lacked funds.

Everything shows that Ryan fell into a huge acquisition quagmire and was unable to get rid of it in a short period of time.

As for Michael Eisner's proposal, although Ryan really wants to transfer the equity in his hands to Disney, he will never follow the other party's expected thinking in terms of method and time.

A successful animation company is so important to Disney. Michael Eisner kidnapped Disney's board of directors, and Ryan will use the same method to promote the following plan.

Will they abandon Michael Eisner in the face of a big enough profit?

These things are too anxious. Even if you want to oust Michael Eisner, you still need a vote of distrust from the Disney shareholders' meeting.

He is waiting, and he reserves many back-ups, such as Google, which is more funding in this life, has developed faster and has attracted Wall Street to covet. His team and investment institutions on Wall Street that are eager to get a share of the pie are actively planning Google listing.

After meeting with Michael Eisner, Ryan temporarily put these aside. After all, "The Lord of the Rings", one of the highlights of this year, is about to be released.

After the movie entered June, it began to promote and hype. Although some hard-core book fans claimed to boycott the movie because they changed a lot of plots, most book fans said they would go to the theater to watch the movie because they believed that Ryan would never bring a bad movie.

In fact, since the trailer was released, the magnificent scenery and fantasy colors have attracted a lot of attention, and some critics even believe that the film is likely to become the biggest box office winner this year.

In addition to the boss Ryan, the main creators of the crew, including Peter Jackson, have appeared frequently in major media recently, using their own abilities to promote this magical masterpiece.

Of course, Charlize Theron is not among them.

After filming "The Devil" in May, this beautiful diamond has been strictly followed by the plan formulated by the nutritionist and the shaper, and has devoted all its energy to the work of restoring the figure.

No matter what kind of woman you are, you don’t want to really become a female devil.

Before leaving the gym and coming out of the locker room, Charlize admired his body in front of the dressing mirror. After nearly a month of hard work, he almost completely returned to his original figure.

After changing into formal clothes, she went downstairs to the living room. Ryan was chatting with Drew Barrymore who was visiting.

"Hey, Charlie." Drew waved to her, "You recover so quickly, are there any secrets?"

Showing a friendly smile, Charlize sat next to Ryan.

Listening to the two women discussing how to maintain their figure, Ryan simply shut up. In his opinion, Drew's figure was almost helpless.

As we get older, the signs of Drew gaining weight become more and more obvious. In fact, it is normal. This is a common problem for people who have successfully rehabilitated drugs.

"There's no way..." Drew pointed to his swollen bags and said helplessly, "I have been busy with the post-production of "Charlie's Angels 2". The production cost of this movie alone has reached 100 million US dollars. If it fails, I will not lose a villa, it will really go bankrupt."

"The house problem has not been solved yet?" Ryan asked with concern.

"I don't want the original house anymore." Drew sighed, "I can't find a suitable place yet, so I have to stay in the Four Seasons Hotel first."

"Sell the original place." Both sides are old friends for nearly ten years, and Ryan is not polite to speak, "by the way, throw away all the bad memories."

In fact, in recent years, this guy who is not very tuned in life has become much more serious. He started dating a young actor named Tom Green more than a year ago and got married in December last year. After marriage, Drew completely cut off relations with his former female companion, showing his determination to run a family well.

Spielberg also sighed that his goddaughter has finally grown up.

However, bad luck always enveloped the Barrymore family like a spell. Tom Green suffered from bladder cancer, but fortunately it was not serious. He recovered his health under Drew's careful care.

Just when the media and Hollywood thought Drew had found his true destiny, a ruthless fire destroyed all of this.

Just a few months ago, a fire broke out in Drew's $3 million mansion in Beverly Hills. It was late at night, and Drew and Tom Green were sleeping unaware of it. A pet dog they had rushed into the bedroom and woke up the two people, and then they were out of danger in time.

The fire did not cause casualties, but burned the house, their homes, and the remaining relationship between the two.

Last month, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green formally agreed to divorce and then devoted themselves to work.

"By the way, Ryan."

After the topic of both sides turned back to the movie, Drew remembered something, "I have bought the movie adaptation rights for that book."

"What book?" Charlize asked curiously.

"A novel that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999."

Ryan has always been relieved about Drew's ability in work, and then explained to Charlize a few words, "The author of "The Moment is Michael Cunningham."

"Is it the author who wrote "The House of the Apocalypse?" Charlize had obviously heard of him.

"Ryan, he asked to participate in the script writing." Drew Fang got the coffee cup in his hand, "this is one of the conditions for obtaining the right to adapt the movie."

"The movie is handed over to Flower Pictures." Looking at Charlize, Ryan raised his index finger to Drew and said solemnly, "Start preparations according to the plan we have planned."

As the films produced have been sold one after another, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Ryan to get the right to adapt other people's works. Few people who can write and publish their works are fools. As long as Jenkins Pictures finds them, they will all offer a sky-high price.

"Charlie, go to Rodel Street?"

After talking about the main thing, Drew held Charlize while saying goodbye, "It's the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings". Don't you prepare a few more dresses for yourself and Ryan?"

"Okay." Charlize responded.

Although after moving here, the clothes are basically made from custom-made products. Shopping and shopping is undoubtedly a great pleasure for women.

The hot summer season has already begun. The most anticipated movie at the moment is "The Lord of the Rings", but the competition this time is extremely fierce.

Broadly speaking, the summer season in North America can count May. Among the movies released in May, "The Matrix 3: The Matrix Revolution" is the most heavyweight production.

Because he was in England and other factors at the time, Ryan did not attend the premiere of the movie. The movie could be said to have swept the May schedule. Although the box office in the first week still did not break the $100 million mark that the outside world hoped for. However, the result of more than $90 million is enough to make the producers and publishers celebrate.

To be honest, the movie has a worse reputation, but the box office is better. In just six weeks, the movie won more than 200 million US dollars in North America, successfully surpassing "Men 100%" and becoming the highest-grossing movie this year.

Nicole released two consecutive movies. The box office in North America exceeded 200 million US dollars, once again proving its unparalleled appeal in commercial films.

In early June, another super-large production landed in North America. This is what DreamWorks put high hopes on the war epic "Pearl Harbor" with a production and promotion cost of up to $200 million...

According to DreamWorks' estimates, the movie's North American box office is at least comparable to "Save Private Ryan". In fact, the movie's performance in the first week was indeed excellent, with a North American box office of 75.17 million, making it the second highest first week box office this year.

Corresponding to the box office, the movie has a very bad reputation.

Words such as "universal kindness", "flavorless", and "loose and stale", are the common views of almost all film critics. The Washington Post even gave the movie an alias "Dollar! Boring! Boring!", reminding the audience to choose a seat next to the passage when entering the venue, because you have to go to the toilet at least twice when watching the movie.

With the development of information and the increasing freedom of the Internet, professional film reviews and media reputation have become less and less affected on the box office of the film. Even if the critics criticize the film to be worthless, as long as the audience finds it interesting, they will still choose this movie.

The biggest problem with "Pearl Harbor" is that it does not discuss the film critics' likes, but also does not please the audience. That bloody love triangle has become the most criticized. The overly lengthy and dull plot seriously affects the viewing experience of ordinary audiences.

This resulted in a huge drop in the box office of the movie in the second week, only earning more than $29 million, and then dropping to more than $14 million in the third week...

Regardless of the reputation of the movie, the three starring actors became the ones who benefited the most, especially Kate Beckinsale, who became another British rose in the media's mouth.

In any aspect, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" cannot exceed "Save Private Ryan". Some media have been eager to compare this movie to Michael Bay's Waterloo. DreamWorks' ambition has obviously been hit a little. They are now busy with overseas release plans and hope that the movie can make a comeback in the overseas market.
