Just like Amd to Intel, Pepsi to Coca-Cola, Apple and Oracle to Microsoft, if a company lacks a sufficiently competitive catch-up, it will inevitably slow down its development and even gradually collapse from the inside. |[2][3][w][x]

Just as foreign wars are the best way to resolve internal conflicts, having an enemy or competitor outside does not harm Disney. Until the animation departments of other companies develop, Ryan will not let Disney swallow DreamWorks Animation Studios, after all, it is the only opponent that can barely compete with Pixar Studios.

Even after DreamWorks Animation Studio went public, his shares were diluted to 35%, but he was still the largest shareholder. The relationship between the three DreamWorks giants is almost broken. As long as he wants to overturn Jerry Fert Carsonberg, it is not too difficult.

What's more, if Disney really plans to acquire it, there are probably few of the small shareholders of DreamWorks that can resist Disney's bid.

To put it bluntly, Ryan is like a nail nail inside DreamWorks animation, and the current DreamWorks animation studio is like a fat meat placed at Disney's mouth.

Unfortunately, the Blue Sky Studio he sold to 20th Century Fox was as unsatisfactory as in his previous life. If the other party's development was slightly better, it could pose some threat to Pixar Studio, and Ryan would not let Robert Iger temporarily slow down the acquisition.

In fact, since the end of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", Ryan's people have been staring at San Francisco. George Lucas claims to retire, but there is no sign of retirement yet. According to the behavior of Lucas and Lucasfilm shareholders, as long as the other party retires, Lucasfilm will almost certainly be packaged and sold.

When Natalie asked Ryan if she was interested in Lucasfilm, his answer was ‘no’ because Disney was still digesting three Jenkinsfilms companies at that time, and they definitely did not have the ability to continue to expand and take over, but now it is different.

Who wouldn't be interested in Lucasfilm, which owns the copyrights of the Star Wars series and the India of the Lost Ark series?

You should know that there is another department that is absolutely ranked No. 1 in Hollywood and even the world - Industrial Light and Magic!

In the future, whether it is a surprising superhero movie or a new Disney fairy tale movie, special effects production is one of the most basic necessities.

Of course, all this is in a hurry. George Lucas has not yet expressed the intention of selling the company.

In addition to Disney affairs, Ryan once again received an invitation from Shanghai, who invited him to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Shanghai Disneyland that will be held in a few months. After nearly a year of design and demolition work, the park will soon enter the formal construction stage.

Although this project claims to invest US$5.5 billion, according to Disney's internal plan, all the work can be completed only 22.5 billion rmb. As for the supporting projects, they are naturally provided by Shanghai.

According to the plan of the government on the other side, the Shanghai Disney project and the surrounding area of ​​about 10 square miles are Shanghai International Tourism Resort, and will be built into a landmark tourist destination with demonstration and radiation effects in the future.

This project will not occupy any funds from Disney. The Shanghai Major Project Management Committee and the four major state-owned banks signed an agreement with Disney Asia Branch in June to provide a long-term low-interest loan of 12.9 billion rmb for the Shanghai Disney project, and subsequent loans will be in place during the construction process.

Seeing the low-interest loans that can make countless companies across the Pacific jealous, Ryan is considering whether he will continue to borrow from China when he needs funds in the future?

However, this is just a fantasy. If the project was not built in China, such a loan would not have been possible.

Just as most of the elites in this country are concentrated in business, the bureaucracy opposite is definitely one of the smartest groups in the world, and they will definitely not do anything without profit.

"So you don't plan to go there?"

Sitting on a bench by the beach of Malibu, Nicole looked at the sea swelling in front of her and asked Ryan beside her, "Disney has a great interest there."

"I'm going to have Cook Dick or Robert Iger go there." Ryan put the peeled macadamia nuts in Nicole's hand. "You know, their schedule is also very tight, and they need to see the schedule."

"Kate and the others should be coming soon." Nicole grabbed the nuts in her hand, and had no intention of eating them. She stood up and walked towards the villa area behind, "Let's go back."

Two days ago, Nicole moved out of Beverly Hills and temporarily settled her home in the Malibu Beach Scenic Area with better scenery, which is the villa used to shoot "Iron Man".

The villa has been renovated a long time ago and has a futuristic sci-fi style. If it weren't for the lack of those black technology equipment, it would be like entering a science fiction movie.

After asking for Nicole's advice, Ryan moved a recliner and placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He found another rattan chair and sat with Nicole here.

"Dear, haven't you eaten?" Looking at the nut that Nicole pinched between her fingers, Ryan reached out and took it back, threw it into her mouth, and peeled it again for her, "Don't fit the taste?"

"This is a high-calorie food." Nicole frowned and stared at the kernels that Ryan sent to his mouth. Finally, she opened her mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and said, "It is easy to accumulate fat and gain weight."

"Hey, this is a must-have snack for healthcare workers." Ryan gently pinched her high nose. "Macadamia nuts are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins b1, b2 and amino acids, and contain the first nutrient required to promote brain development - unsaturated amino acids, which are beneficial to the fetus' brain development."

Listening to Ryan's words as if he was in his memorization, Nicole gradually smiled, and she could feel Ryan's concern for herself and her children.

Although I had another idea in my mind since that night, if it really came true, it might turn into another war. Are you really ready to start a war?

Her current physical condition does not allow her to do too much. After all, she has waited for the life in her belly for too long, so she will have to wait until this new life comes to life before she can agree on everything.

The light blue eyes flashed constantly, and after eating another macadamia nut fed by Ryan, Nicole temporarily dissipated these thoughts.

"These things need to be appropriate." Ryan threw the shells into the trash can, sealed the bag of macadamia nuts, and the phone in the living room rang. After he took them, he said to Nicole, "Kate and Nami are here, I'll go out and take a look."

Before going out, Ryan ordered to the butler on the other side, "Elsa, prepare black tea, coffee and fruit."

The people who came were Naomi Watts and Cate Blanchett. After they heard that Nicole was pregnant, one hurriedly ended the post-production of "King Kong" and the other flew directly from Sydney.

"Congratulations, Nicole."

The two of them hugged Nicole gently one after another, and then sat on the sofa in the center of the living room, "How does it feel to be a mother?"

“Excellent.”

Facing his best friend, Nicole did not hide her emotions, "I can't wait to see him."

"black tea?"

After taking the tray brought by Elsa, Ryan first placed the fruit on the coffee table, "Or coffee?"

The two of them poured black tea and coffee respectively. Ryan sat next to Nicole. The topic was gradually dominated by Nicole and Cate Blanchett. Most of the content was parenting stories. Unlike Nicole and Naomi Watts, Cate Blanchett had his first child a few years ago, and he must have a lot of experience in this regard.

"Nami." Ryan had to chat with Naomi Watts for a few words, "Is "King Kong" completed?"

"It's almost done." Naomi Watts put down his teacup. "I heard from Director Jackson that Universal Pictures will hold a test session next month."

"How many times has this been the remake of "King Kong"?" Cate Blanchet interjected.

"There are always many times." Ryan couldn't figure out that Hollywood will not only follow the trend, but also make a profit. "But the investment this time is the biggest, which is said to be $210 million, and with Peter, a special effects madman, it will definitely be the most real King Kong."

“It’s true.”

Among these people, Naomi Watts, who plays the heroine, has seen a sample film, "Director Andy Serkins and Jackson bring a motion capture that is no less than Guru."

"So." Cate Blanchett said, pinching his chin, "I should have the theater join the show of King Kong."

"Dear!" Nicole picked up a honey orange and stuffed it to Blanchett, "Kate, what I said just now are you thinking."

"No problem, let me leave it for now."

Blanchett put the honey orange back into the fruit tray, "Don't worry, Nicole, I won't let the studio go bankrupt."

"God." Nicole's face was covered with black lines. "At present, in addition to the big investment "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", the studio only has a small-cost video that cooperated with Touchstone Pictures. If this could go bankrupt, Kate, I will definitely go to Sydney to settle the score with you."

Kidman Studio itself is an empty shell. The so-called stewardship is nothing more than assisting the accounting firm and the shooting team in handling some related matters. Moreover, the studio's cooperation targets are Miramax and Disney, and they do not require them to put in too much energy.

Cate Blanchett also runs several theaters in Sydney, and the situation is not bad. In addition to meeting Nicole, she also wants to seek support from Ryan. She hopes that Disney stage plays such as "The Lion King" and "Toy Story" can give priority to her theaters.

This is just a small matter. Ryan notified the relevant personnel of Disney, and someone will naturally talk to her about the details of the cooperation in the future.

Compared to Cate Blanchett's small request, Ryan's next meeting with three other media giants will be much more serious. (To be continued...)
