Because there are many common interests between the two parties such as "American Idol", Ryan did not return to the theater, but exchanged views with Rupert Murdoch on some matters, and discussed more detailed conditions on the issue of Blue Sky Studio's share replacement.

Rupert Murdoch will use a premium to replace the shares of Blue Sky Studios in Ryan. Ryan also promises not to interfere in any of News Corporate's affairs. If these shares will be sold in the future, the other party will have the right to acquire them first.

In this way, coupled with the previous cross-holdings, Ryan became a small shareholder of News Corporation.

Of course, it is just a small individual shareholder. Rupert Murdoch will never let him on the board of directors. Ryan himself just wants to hold shares to maintain value. He knows that the future News Group is a mud pond, or it is better to be a common shareholder.

The two sides only reached a general intention, and the specific details and replacement ratio will naturally be discussed by the professionals below.

After entering the new century, Hollywood's film and television industry has become increasingly large, and related peripheral industries have gradually become the second largest industry in North America after manufacturing.

The larger the industry, the more benefits it creates. Many people want to reach out and divide a piece of cake. The traditional seven companies - now it should be said to be six - and the group behind the scenes must want to maintain their current state.

Although there is a competitive relationship between them, they also maintain a tacit understanding on many things.

Ryan and Murdoch have been discussing this topic for a long time, and unless the person entering can acquire one of the six major companies, another DreamWorks will never be allowed to rise.

As for DreamWorks today, many seniors can actually see that it cannot last for too long.

Although Ryan joined the Hollywood giants' game, he would not break the situation that existed in his previous life. This would be in the interests of Disney and his interests.

Before they knew it, the two sides chatted for more than two hours. When Ryan walked out of the lounge, not only did the movie show end, but the subsequent press conference kicked off.

"Sorry, George..."

When the press conference was estimated to end, Ryan sat in the car and called George Lucas, "I met Rupert Murdoch and chatted for a while, but I didn't expect to miss the press conference."

"It's okay, Ryan." The sound from the opposite side was a little noisy, and you could occasionally hear the yelling of reporters, "I don't think you will miss the next three promotions, right?"

Obviously, George Lucas also knew that it was unrealistic to have Ryan participate in all the crew's publicity activities in North America.

"Of course it's OK."

This was a communication between the two sides in advance. Ryan's $20 million salary plus a series of shareholdings were not for nothing.

After waiting for a while, Natalie hurried over under the escort of the bodyguard, followed by a reporter who was reluctant to give in. Ryan opened the back door and the girl from Long Island jumped into the back seat tacitly.

He started the car immediately and rushed out of the parking lot, leaving only exhaust gas and bodyguards for the reporters.

"Have they made things difficult for you?" Ryan turned the steering wheel and turned toward the Waldorf Assistant Hotel. He glanced at Natalie who was slightly tired from the rearview mirror, "What are you asking?"

"Nothing." Natalie didn't want to mention the gossip questions asked by the reporters. She pointed to the road where there were more and more vehicles. "You should focus on driving. I don't want to be the headlines tomorrow because of a car accident."

"That's OK."

Seeing the long queue of traffic ahead, Ryan stepped on the brakes and looked back, "Nate, it should take some time to get to Manhattan. If you are tired, sleep for a while."

"Um."

Natalie nodded, picked up the dress jacket that Ryan had thrown in the back seat, buckled it backwards, and slowly closed her eyes.

An hour later, the black Chevrolet finally turned into the underground parking lot of the Waldorf Assistant Hotel. There was no harassment from reporters and paparazzi. Ryan parked the car, got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat, and hugged the sleeping Natalie down.

Perhaps the short film consumed too much energy for the girl, and she slept very well at the moment, just like a sleeping beauty waiting for the prince to wake up with a kiss.

Ryan hugged her and walked towards the special elevator in the presidential suite, gently kissing her white forehead. Natalie slowly opened her eyes, her shiny brown eyes stared at Ryan for a while before looking around, and then jumped out of his arms.

Taking the elevator, the two of them went straight to Ryan’s private room on the top floor. Natalie kicked off her high heels casually and lay on the sofa without caring about her image.

"You need a vacation." Ryan found his pajamas and sat next to Natalie. "Your nerves are too tight lately."

"I don't want to be left too far by you. It's hard for me to surpass you in actors."

Perhaps all the knots disappeared, and Natalie raised the previous topic again, "So, I must become an excellent director!"

"The first female Oscar for best director?"

After hugging the lazy Natalie, Ryan took some hands and feet to take off her evening dress, and after pinching the not-so-big but extremely firm place, he wrapped her in his pajamas in Natalie's wide eyes, "This is an unprecedented honor."

"Do you think that's possible?" Natalie's eyes flashed and her whole face was buried in Ryan's arms. She bit her white shirt hard and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sleepy, take me to rest."

He carried the girl as light as feathers into the bedroom, and Ryan lies with her. Natalie found the most comfortable position and fell asleep deeply.

With her studies, filming short films and today's premiere, she seems to be really exhausted.

The final production cost of "Star Wars Prequel 2: The Clones' Attack" is as high as $140 million, making it the most expensive one in the series that has been born, especially the special effects used, like "The Lord of the Rings", it is the most advanced special effects technology in the entire world today.

In addition, this movie will also occupy a special position in film history, and it is the first movie to be completely digitalized from shooting to screening.

These special meanings did not help the movie win the support of the critics, and the critics' bombardment of the film became the theme of the paper media the next day.

Roger Albert only gave the film a failed evaluation of five points, and wrote in his own column that I was disappointed not what appeared in the film, but what was missing from the film. It is obvious that Lucas pays more attention to special effects than performance, so the performances of new and old actors in the film are all stiff and rigid, this is a movie with no meaning in existence.

Another famous film critic, David Denby from "The New Yorker", also gave the film a five-point rating, saying, "The Clone Attack" is as vulgar as a B-level film. There are too many digital special effects that make people think this is a video game. The performances in the film are too amateur, and are the worst science fiction movies in the past decade, and the box office will definitely be far lower than expected!'

In the first week of the film's release, ImDB's rating once hovered around 6 points. If this wasn't the Star Wars series, it would even drop to around 5 points. The reviews from professionals on this website were almost all negative comments.

"Although "The Attack of the Clone" has no fatal weaknesses, it is really unremarkable. This prequel should put the camera into the depths of the teenager Anakin's heart and discover the transition from 'human kindness' to 'toward darkness'. However, Lucas filmed a love scene that lacks the most sparks, and an Oedipus complex without drama. The performance of the film seems to be in the lack of director's "vacuum". Each actor performs entirely on his own understanding and experience, and even makes people wonder whether Ryan Jenkins, who plays Anakin's Skywalker, is possessed by aliens, and is completely inferior to his previous level."

Another online film critic of Imdb wrote, "This film is not particularly bad, it is just so mediocre, as if it is a poem without charm and a song without lingering sound."

Then, The New Englander issued a criticism directed at the male lead, "After the release of "The Clones' Attack", there will be no suspense about the worst male lead next year. Ryan Jenkins' performance in the film is simply disaster-like. Apart from his handsome face and almost perfect figure, we can't see anything worthy of praise from him."

Of course, Ryan's performances were indeed a bit casual, and this type of film and character did not have room for acting skills. As for the comments in the media, it was somewhat exaggerated. Compared with the one in his previous life, he was much better than the one in his previous life.

The most popular movie critics in the film is Anakin, Skywalker and Padme, Amidala, a love that is more bloody than bloody...

There are voices of criticism in the media. If you only read the reviews, it will make people think that this is a bad super-bad movie that cannot be more bad, rather than the famous Star Wars series.

However, amid this criticism, "Star Wars Prequel 2: The Clones' Attack" was like "Spider-Man" released last month. With the cooperation of a massive publicity plan, it completely ignored the voices of professional film review websites and professional film critics, and gave the best counterattack with an equally shocking box office result.

The film landed in North America with 3,561 theaters, and won more than 111 million US dollars in the first week, becoming another first film this year to exceed 100 million US dollars. Even though traditional critics have once again increased their attack firepower from the second week, the film's box office fell by only 36, winning more than 70 million US dollars.

Although the box office of the film in the third week fell to $40 million, the fact that it exceeded $200 million in three weeks seemed to be reappearing last month's Spider-Man.

The ratings of the two films on professional websites can only be considered very average. The reputation among traditional film critics is probably not much better than bad movies, but it is widely popular in the market. It even joined forces to dominate the North American film market in May and June, and pushed the number of viewers during this period to a record high in history.

The era of film critics calling for the wind and rain is over, even if they don't want to admit it, even if they are still struggling.
