The impact of the 911 incident was far greater than imagined.

First of all, it is impossible to return to the United States by plane. The US government has announced the temporary closure of the airspace, and all flights to the United States will land at the nearest airport.

As for when the airspace can be opened, Ryan is not clear.

However, he estimates that it will not take a few days, otherwise all the airlines in the United States will face bankruptcy.

So, early the next morning, Ryan continued to shoot patiently, finishing the next few scenes.

Only then did I charter a large passenger plane to land in Canada, then take a helicopter to enter Montana, and then return to Los Angeles.

Not to mention a lot of trouble along the way, but also to face strict inspections at multiple checkpoints.

On the day he returned to Los Angeles, Ryan accepted media interviews with grief and silence on his face.

"I couldn't believe what was on the TV in New Zealand, it was a nightmare."

"From the first passenger plane crashing into the World Trade Center in New York, to the second crashing into it again, this is the most horrific scene I have ever seen."

"There is no doubt that the passengers on the plane and those who died in this terrorist attack are innocent ordinary people."

Throughout, Ryan barely brought up the third plane that crashed into the Pentagon, instead praising everyone involved in the fourth plane that crashed into Pittsburgh.

As for whether this airliner was shot down by the US military, no one knows.

Even if it is clear, I dare not say it.

In addition to being interviewed by the media, he also donated millions of dollars in his own name.

Otherwise, Ryan tried to keep a low profile.

Being too showy at this time is obviously not a good thing.

On the contrary, the more low-key the better.

He didn't even attend the mourning event held in Los Angeles.

However, the impact of the 9/11 incident is far from over, and this is just the beginning.

Los Angeles, which was originally bustling, became deserted at night, and most people chose to stay at home to reduce unnecessary going out.

This will feel more complete.

The entertainment industry has naturally been hit hard.

First and foremost is Hollywood.

For example, the box office of the three films released by Orion Films in the summer, , and , almost plummeted.

Among them, the film that was most affected by the 911 incident was produced by the MGM brand.

The film was released on August 31, just in time for 9/11 the following weekend.

Until last night, Francis Ford Coppola was still complaining that he wanted to strangle the terrorists to death.

In this regard, Ryan could only nod speechlessly.

The loss was not limited to Orion Films, a film company, and the entire Hollywood was wailing.

Life is difficult for film companies and theater companies.

The box office of the films whose release dates are set in August, September, and October has dropped to the lowest point.

Especially films that take away the dark colors are almost equivalent to a death sentence.

Orion Films directly terminated the shooting plan, and it was extended indefinitely.

What the US box office market needs right now are films that are warm and sunny.

For example, the enduring personal heroism movie, and the superhero movie that will be released in the holiday season.

Another change is that Hollywood's financing channels are blocked, and foreign films have become more difficult to survive.

Of course, none of this matters to Ryan, and it's even a good thing.

Without the impact of the 9/11 incident, it would have been difficult for superhero films to succeed.

In addition, black faces will appear in Hollywood movies from time to time, as well as the political theme of Black Lives Matter.

Blacks who played villains in Hollywood movies in the past will be replaced by whites, Asians, Arabs, etc., and blacks will become an indispensable role of justice in the film, and even the protagonist in the film.

This is a political compromise. The US government needs to unite all forces that can be united, and even seek some support from the government on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

It can be said that the impact of the 911 incident has made the relationship between the United States and the other side of the Pacific Ocean suddenly better.

"You plan to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean yourself!"

Inside Orion Films, Sofia Coppola opened the door and walked in, "Listen to me, this is not a good decision."

"Going across the Pacific in your capacity is too sensitive and not safe."

Sitting on the chair in the office, Ryan looked at Sofia Coppola with an anxious expression on his face, and said, "In terms of safety, you don't have to worry. Going in my current capacity is safer than staying in Los Angeles."

When it comes to security, Ryan despises the U.S. government.

Even without the September 11 incident, the United States would not be so safe.

The law and order on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is more than a hundred times better than that of Los Angeles.

What's more, with his current identity in the past, there is no need to worry about safety issues at all.

"As for sensitivity!"

Ryan picked up a newspaper and handed it to Sofia Coppola. "Right now Washington needs support from across the Pacific on something."

Sofia Coppola took the newspaper and glanced at it. It was impressively written that the government on the other side of the Pacific strongly condemned terrorism. "This doesn't explain anything."

"What about Washington's ultimatum to Afghanistan!" Ryan asked meaningfully.

Yesterday US President George Bush issued an ultimatum to the Taliban government, asking them to hand over top al Qaeda members to US custody.

And release all imprisoned foreigners, protect foreign journalists, diplomats, support personnel in Afghanistan, have American personnel inspect all training camps and verify that they are all closed.

However, many people know that this is obviously impossible.

"You mean, Washington is planning to launch a foreign war to divert the political impact of the 9/11 incident." Sofia Coppola suddenly raised her head, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Ryan leaned on the chair and said lightly: "Otherwise, how do you think Washington will solve the impact of this terrorist attack!"

"Still, the military deployment in Washington for a while is just a kind of intimidation!"

Sofia Coppola became silent, just as Ryan said, there are various signs that the United States is about to face a foreign war.

Although war can divert the bad effects of 9/11.

But it will also increase the bearing capacity of the American society and financial system.

At this moment, John-Denise hurriedly opened the door and walked in, "The Pentagon has just called."

"A counter-terrorism team jointly formed by the FBI, CIA, and the military, they hope to get some opinions from you."

Ryan's eyelids twitched when he heard that, none of these departments is easy to mess with.

However, he seems to have heard something in his previous life. In order to deal with the next terrorist attack, the U.S. government invited many Hollywood directors, editors, writers, etc. to discuss how to attack the U.S. government~www.wuxiaspot.com~Yes, not to avoid Attack, but talk about how to attack.

As for how to deal with terrorist attacks, that is the job of the FBI, the CIA, and the military.

"Promise."

"Let them come over tomorrow afternoon." Ryan chose to agree.

What's more, he couldn't refuse.

John-Denise agreed, turned and left.

"Sophia, don't get tangled up in Washington."

"We have more important things to do."

Looking at Sofia Coppola who was frowning, Ryan said very seriously: "Warner Bros. has agreed to postpone the release date to December 19th."

"We don't need to change the release schedule, and it will be released on November 16 as originally planned."

The original release date was also scheduled for November.

However, with the occurrence of the 9/11 incident, a number of Hollywood film companies have revised the film release schedule.

Among them is the joint investment and distribution of Orion Pictures and Warner Bros.

"Is November a little early?" Sofia Coppola asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter." Ryan shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "More than two months is enough for people to forget everything, including the huge scars caused by the 9/11 incident."

By November, the U.S. box office market can basically return to calm. As long as you don’t touch films with airplanes, terrorist attacks and dark and sad themes, it won’t have much impact.

In recent years, films with the above themes are almost equal to box office bombs.
