Every big company invests in politics, which is a very common phenomenon in North America, and Walt Disney is no exception. For example, in last year's presidential election, Disney's media clearly tended toward O'Hydrocarbon.

O'Hei Tan did not disappoint Disney. The first work to be completed after taking office was bilateral negotiations between China and the United States on many cultural products such as movies. After a long period of tug-of-war, the two sides finally finalized a new supplementary agreement, among which the number of imported films by China further increased from 20 to 25, and the number of special films increased from 14 to 18.

It’s not just Disney, but Hollywood as a whole.

In addition, O'Hei Tan also put pressure on many Arab countries to further open up the animated film market.

Apart from the pressure on the surface, Tony Blair has also been to the Arab world to lobby privately, and the effect is generally pretty good.

This special consultant at Walt Disney is also a suitable candidate for private communication with the Swiss government.

After George's people visited London, British paparazzi who liked to chase celebrities discovered that former Prime Minister Tony Blair took his family to the Swiss capital Bern for vacation.

As for how much role Tony Blair can play in it, only God knows

Things cannot be resolved smoothly in a short period of time. Although Tony Blair met several "old friends" from the Swiss political circle, no good news came. After May, the summer season in North America kicked off again.

After George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy" ended, few films dared to challenge Disney's big-produced commercial films on the first weekend of the summer.

Another superhero of Marvel Comics has appeared on the big screen, Thor Thor and Loki embarked on a long journey of love and killing each other.

This is arguably the worst superhero movie since Captain America, both in content and in box office.

The first week of the film's box office was even more than 65 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for the amazing movies that always had a box office of over 100 million in the first week of North America.

Many viewers admitted that the film has almost no highlights except for the rival scenes between Thor and Loki. Anne Hathaway played Jane Foster, which is also bad enough.

Even more people said that the reason I entered the theater was to watch the end of the easter egg. The content of the easter egg was the trailer of "Avengers"!

In any case, Chris Hemsworth's image of Thor is still recognized by most people, perhaps because he used to be a construction worker in Australia and had rich experience in using hammers. His powerful movements also fascinated many female audiences.

The performance of the film in commercial terms can only be considered average. It took ten days for the North American box office to exceed 120 million US dollars, and the global box office was only 240 million US dollars. Judging from the current development trend, the final box office of the film is likely to remain within 500 million US dollars.

Although the box office performance was not very good, "Thor" completed its mission very well, splicing the last section of "Avengers", and played a perfect warm-up role.

By the end of May, Pixar Studio's masterpiece "Flying House" was grandly released. The cartoon finally got rid of the lukewarm box office situation of "Ratin King" and "Robot Wali" in North America. In just 20 days, the film's North American box office exceeded the final $220 million of "Robot Wali" and rushed to the $300 million mark.

As time slowly entered July, Ryan waited for the good news he wanted, and finally made a ruling on the Roman Polansky incident in Switzerland.

Although the Swiss government has not announced it to the public, he has received the exact news from Tony Blair and informed many Polansky friends, including Harrison Ford, as well as members of the Jewish clubs that attended the party last time.

It was not until July 12 that the Swiss Ministry of Justice held a press conference.

Swiss Attorney and Police Minister Evelyn Widmer Schlumpf announced at a press conference that he would refuse the United States to extradite Polansky and immediately lift his detention.

"Since the U.S. Department of Justice did not submit a confidential record of a hearing on the Polansky case to Switzerland, the Swiss side determined that the conditions for extradition were insufficient and decided not to extradite it."

"In this case, we cannot rule out the possibility that Roman? Polansky has completed his sentence, so a serious technical error decision to extradite is no longer possible, and extradition lacks basic conditions. Given the persistence of doubts in the factual part of the case, we decided to refuse the extradition application."

This is the words of Widmer Schlumpf at the press conference, "From 11:30 today, Polansky is a free man, and he can go to France, or Poland, or anywhere he will not arrest him."

After submitting a bail of up to 5 million euros, Roman Polanski regained his freedom and returned to France.

Ryan also fulfilled his promise to the Hollywood Jewish circle. As for what role did the former British Prime Minister's private lobbying play, even Tony Blair himself can't explain it clearly.

But no matter what, Ryan saw the results he wanted.

A few days later, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson and Sidney Ganes visited together and brought a handwritten letter from Roman Polansky. This great director who had had an unhappy relationship with Ryan because of "The Pianist", used the sentence "deep thanks" many times in the letter.

"The nightmare is finally over, and I am grateful for your help from the deepest part of my heart."

There are many words of thanks in the letter, and the already sophisticated Roman Polansky is also a smart person.

Subsequently, some remarks that were slightly more favorable to Polansky began to appear in the mainstream media in North America. Compared with the surging crowds in Hollywood two months ago, these remarks are quite restrained and will never violate the public's sensitive nerves.

"As a famous director who has won an Oscar, facing the unbearable past 30 years ago, it will cause a jail disaster, which makes people feel so embarrassing and ridiculous..."

"But as a basic Polish person, I believe that he is not a monster with no conscience at all. The condemnation of conscience over the past thirty years will definitely make him sad. We should also see what Polansky will do in the future and how to do it."

Not only did he rescue the person, Ryan also helped the other party to quietly cleanse the floor. He could be said to be a standard good person, just as the conflicts between him and Polansky in "The Pianist" never existed. On the other hand, he has transformed into a real businessman, and his considerations are more based on interests rather than his own preferences or dislikes.

For example, he now meets someone he doesn't like much, and is chatting and laughing with the other party.

"Ryan, you should go into politics." George Clooney seemed to be joking, "I can't possibly enter the White House."

With his eyes drawn from the wall separating Natalie and Scarlett Gardens, Ryan picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I prefer Hollywood to the White House."

Natalie next to her picked up the coffee pot, filled the two of them with coffee, and sat back in her seat.

"Have you seen the sample?" George Clooney took the initiative to change the topic, "I think Nat did a pretty good job."

"I think so too." Ryan gave Natalie a thumbs up, "Believe me, my dear, this is a very good war reflection film."

"What are the plans next?" George Clooney asked again.

Although he is the real producer of this film, he understands that some of the permissions are not in his own hands.

"The video will be released by Miramax." Ryan had a complete plan, "Showing in North America starting in November, George, you know what our goal is, and all the work has to start early."

"I think you've done enough." Even without personally participating, George Clooney could guess some of Ryan's thoughts, "The situation is too good for us now."

"It's always right to be prepared enough." Ryan gently flicked the coffee cup at hand, "I hate upset the most."

Even if you are upset, you will still be making fun of others. If you are exposed to your own unpopularity, no one will like it.

Charlize turned to the fashion industry, Nicole won three Oscars and won the Best Actress Award. He himself disliked art films. Natalie's best director is his only demand for Oscars in the near future.

It is indeed not easy to win this award. Although Natalie has an advantage over Catherine Birog's identity, her age is the biggest obstacle.

Don't forget, she is less than thirty years old!

Therefore, in addition to uniting with multiple forces, Ryan also seized every opportunity that can be used to create favorable conditions for his side as much as possible.

As for the biggest opponent that looks like, it is not a real threat. Anyone who knows the Oscars will understand that it is almost impossible for James Cameron to win the best director with "Avatar".

After all, "Avatar" is not a subject that is closely related to reality, such as "Titanic".

He sent George Clooney, Ryan and Natalie away without going to the garden and went back to the villa directly. He sat on the sofa to consider the public relations matters of "The Bomb Demolition Force", while Natalie sat next to him, looking through a Hebrew book.

"What's this?"

Seeing that Natalie was very engrossed, Ryan couldn't help but be curious, but he didn't know Hebrew.

"When I was making a movie in Israel, someone recommended a novel to me." Natalie turned over the cover and swayed in front of Ryan. "This is an autobiographical novel by the famous Israeli writer Amos Oz, "The Story of Love and Darkness."

"I want to buy the movie adaptation rights." She said again.

"Another schizophrenia!"

A muttered in his heart, Ryan had a little impression of this book. He took the book from Natalie, put it aside, and said his long-term plan, "Nat, why don't we really cooperate once? You are the director and I am the protagonist." (To be continued...)
