A weekend before Thanksgiving, the fourth episode of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", held a huge global premiere, and the premiere is no longer the place where the story takes place in the UK, but it is replaced by Disney Adventure Park in California, because during Thanksgiving, the Hogwarts School of Magic in the Harry Potter section in the park will be officially open to the United States.

The premiere of the film was placed at Hogwarts Magic Academy, and it adopted an open-air screening. Disney has put a lot of effort into promoting Harry Potter's derivatives.

This series is as strong as ever, easily earning $120 million in North America box office in the first three days. Not to mention the already extremely popular English-speaking market, even in China on the other side of the Pacific, some members of Harry Potter participated in the promotional premiere, and received more than 39 million rmb in the first three days.

For an imported account split film, it was a very good box office in this era, and the Harry Potter series has an increasingly powerful influence in China. Even if pirated copies fly all over the floor, derivatives can still bring certain benefits to Ryan and Disney.

Especially, the construction of the Disneyland in Shanghai is about to start, which also has the Harry Potter zone. The greater the influence of movies and books, the greater the help to the park in the future.

In just ten days, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" reached $225 million in North America, and the global box office was close to $500 million.

During Thanksgiving, Time Warner and Walt Disney Group also remitted a huge sum of $220 million to Ryan's account.

This was Ryan's share of Harry Potter series derivatives last year. Most of the copyrights of this series are in his hands. According to the agreement signed with Disney and Time Warner, he himself enjoys one-third of the profit share of most derivatives such as CDs, dolls, and images.

Once Harry Potter's industrial chain is formed, it will become a huge money-making machine. In the past few years since the movie was released, it does not count from the box office share, but the derivative series alone can bring him about 200 million US dollars in revenue every year.

Even if there is no other industry, this long-term meal ticket is enough for him to live his life freely.

Of course, the money was just a round in Ryan's hands, and most of it was transferred to Boeing's account. The coming-of-age gift he customized for his dear sister had been completed.

Maybe it was just a joke at the beginning, or maybe even Taylor himself forgot, but Ryan will not forget his promise.

After entering December, "127 Hours" released for four weeks almost came to an end. After the box office barely exceeded $35 million, the theaters gradually fell to double digits, and the box office in North America increased at a rate of several thousand dollars every day, and the final box office would not increase much.

In recent years, especially as the speed and freedom of information exchange have become increasingly higher, a very common phenomenon has emerged around the world. Most movies that have been praised by film critics and other professionals - such as "127 Hours" - have a terrible box office. However, the worthless movies they criticize have been warmly welcomed by ordinary audiences, and they do not even need to be recognized by important awards such as Oscars, and can easily produce world-class influence.

In the words of film critics, 90% of the audience in the world have fallen into depravity, and only a small group of people are waiting for a normal level of appreciation.

Is this really the case?

Ryan has long stopped considering this issue. In movies, he will always stand on the side of most people.

Although "127 Hours" has overseas box office, such movies do not have much commercial value, not to mention that the box office share that can be recovered overseas is at most about a quarter of the overall overseas box office. Therefore, in addition to the English-speaking areas and Western Europe, Disney has adopted the marketing method of selling off screening rights in most overseas markets.

There is no doubt that the combination of Ryan and Natalie is the best sign, but the type of movies limits the copyright price. After nearly a month of negotiations, Disney recovered a total of US$20 million in screening copyright revenue. Including the box office share in North America and the English-speaking areas and the advertising sponsorship they received in the early stage, even if the cost cannot be recovered, it is not much different.

What's more, Ryan's team is actively working on awards and awards season. Even if they can only get a few nominations, they can increase their corresponding DVD, video tape and TV broadcast revenue.

Compared to Disney, Allen Ruston himself seems to have gained more. He became a well-known hero and outdoor sports expert in the United States. Just two weeks after the film was released, he even signed a sponsorship agreement worth $5 million with Nike.

After "Argo" and "127 Hours", in addition to the playwrights and new directors who often appear in front of Ryan, there are also some agents in publishing houses' personal autobiography. They frequently recommend some personal biography to Ryan, hoping to win his favor.

Not all autobiography is worth shooting into movies, not to mention that most autobiography videos are niche movies.

Many of them wanted to obtain Ryan's autobiography, but he refused them all.

What a joke? He is neither short of money nor fame. He is less than 26 years old and is now giving birth to his autobiography?

As the awards season approaches, Ryan receives invitations to many parties. Every year at this time, it is always the most active stage for many celebrities in Hollywood. Charity parties, political fundraising parties, etc. are emerging one after another. Of course, in the Greater Los Angeles area, which is closest to the college, the most is for various awards, especially the Oscars canvassing parties.

Now Ryan's vote is no longer a sign of himself, but has even become a weather vane. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most influential judges in the academy.

Therefore, while he was public relations, he naturally became the target of many crew public relations.

Unfortunately, those who invited him to the canvassing party did not know that Ryan's habit was to vote with his feet on awards that had nothing to do with himself or Disney.

Because a heavyweight award can double or even multiply the value of many actors, Los Angeles can now be described as a group of demons. Walking on the roads in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, if you encounter people dressed in suits and ties, if you ask, more than 80% may be agents of brokers or business personnel of public relations companies.

These people, including those from Ryan's team, have actually been wandering up and down the psychological bottom line of the academy under the banner of free competition.

As for where the psychological bottom line of the academy is? Most people and even Ryan themselves cannot explain it clearly. After all, the strength of the money offensive over the years is getting older and stronger, and the effect is becoming more and more obvious.

In his opinion, as long as the academy does not inform the media, it will not be as disgusted as Meghan Larryson, the producer and investor of "Bomb Demolition Force" in the next year as in his previous life, which means that it has not touched the bottom line of the academy.

Besides, as long as it is not too much, even if the academy wants to find a typical person to show his fairness, he will never find him now.

Think about the people who were thrown into the media by the academy in their previous life, none of them were world-class figures.

In the other side of the Pacific, it is to kill the chicken for the monkey to see, but the size of this chicken is really not too big. As long as the academy reveals this meaning, the public relations personnel who jump up and down will definitely restrain themselves a lot.

In terms of "Brokeback Mountain", Ryan did not intervene at all and threw it to Flower Pictures. With Drew's ability and connections, Ang Lee had similar public relations experience, and the college wanted to comfort the ever-increasing homosexual group after the film was released, and he would definitely consider giving a heavyweight award.

Ryan's team was working hard to promote the nomination of "127 Hours" and Natalie. 50,000 hardcover discs were distributed to nearly 6,000 judges, but even ordinary staff members participating in the Oscars and the Academy were not spared. In addition, the souvenir tableware customized from the Royal British Tool Factory was shipped to Los Angeles and delivered early like the discs.

In addition, champagne, red wine and Disney's limited edition dolls are also ready.

These gifts don't look expensive, but they are both exquisite and beautiful, and have practical value. They are a touching weapon.

If there are two to three years later, Ryan will take even bigger actions. Now it is not the time when Oscars have completely become money and public relations games, so some behaviors should not be too overdoing.

While doing the film PR, Ryan did not forget Taylor, because she released the film last year in December, and Taylor could only participate in the awards for this Grammy. No matter how many phonographs the final PR could bring to the girl, she was already one of the winners of this Grammy as a guest of the opening performance.

Los Angeles affairs one after another, although most Ryan only needs to know about it, he feels a little tired, especially some high-end parties that must be attended. Even though he thinks it is normal social, he can't help but get tired after attending too much.

Of course, Ryan knew very well that if an ordinary person could enjoy a peaceful life at any time, and when he stood at a certain height, a peaceful life would definitely go away.

Fortunately, he can temporarily leave the Angel City where the demons danced around and go to a quieter place for the time being.

As time goes by, Nicole's pregnancy becomes more and more obvious, and her lower abdomen gradually shows signs of bulging. She decided to go to a quieter place to rest. The beautiful scenery and far away from the hustle and bustle of Lanai is undoubtedly the best choice.

Ryan accompanied her on the plane to Lanai. In addition to sending Nicole over, he also wanted to see the progress of "Jurassic Park 3" filming there. Spielberg repeatedly vowed to tell him that the filming and special effects production of the film are underway at the same time, and he will definitely be able to catch up with the July schedule.

The old man is the most famous fast gunner in Hollywood, and Ryan believes he can do this.

Before boarding the plane, Ryan received the revised "Transformers" script that Michael Bay specially sent to him.r1152
