Ryan didn't take Disney's warning seriously at all. Hollywood film companies have a bottom line that needs to be followed.

Disney's media can expose Ryan's gossip and gossip, but when it comes to Orion Pictures, they can only insinuate in many cases.

Orion Pictures is also a member of the Film Association, and also cooperates with Warner Bros.

Once the war really starts, Disney will also encounter a counterattack from Orion Pictures.

What's more, Disney's internal battles are almost on the bright side right now.

In the living room, Ryan saw Natalie Portman hurried over with a fax.

When she came to the front, she frowned and asked, "The heroine in Sophia's new film is Scarlett, that guy?"

"It should be." Ryan said with some helplessness.

He knew that Scarlett Johansson would speak out, and even deliberately showed off in front of Natalie Portman.

Similar things happen almost every once in a while.

As for Sofia Coppola's reason for choosing Scarlett Johansson, it's very simple.

In recent years, Scarlett Johansson has starred in several films, most of which are literary and artistic, and her acting skills have continued to improve.

And the relationship between the two has always been good. Ryan was not surprised that she chose Scarlett Johansson to star in "Lost in Translation".

The most important point is that Sofia Coppola's goal is the Oscar, and it is obviously unlikely to choose a commercial actress to play.

For example, Natalie Portman in front of me.

Well, the goddess of art in the previous life turned Ryan and George-Lucas into a beautiful vase.

"Sophia made one of the worst choices."

Got it, Ryan's affirmative answer, Natalie Portman curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice, "That guy's acting skills will give Sophia a headache."

"Looks like I need to have a good talk with her."

Hearing this, Ryan smiled and did not answer her topic, let alone intervene in her war with Scarlett Johansson.

In fact, Scarlett Johansson's acting skills are quite good.

Even, among female actors of the same age, she is definitely an acting school.

Of course, if Sofia Coppola wants to rely on Scarlett Johansson's acting skills and the plot of the film to win an Oscar statuette, there must be many uncertain factors.

Any Hollywood practitioner knows that to win an Oscar statuette is not just enough good work, there are many external factors.

What's more, Sofia Coppola's age and the identity of a female director are obstacles.

Even though the feminist movement in North America is gradually rising, it is far from reaching the peak period of feminism. Gender will not bring her any help, but will bring a lot of obstacles.

Even with the support of Orion Films and the Coppola family, as well as massive public relations funds, she has no chance.

Of course, Ryan refers to the Oscar for Best Director, not the Best Original Screenplay.

"Okay, Natalie, what's the matter with you with the fax!" Ryan quickly changed the subject, he didn't want to continue entangled in the topic of Scarlett-Johnson.

"This is a fax from John Denise just now."

Natalie Portman handed the fax to Ryan, sat on the sofa beside her, and said, "It's the first-day box office data of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

Ryan took a look at the fax and read: "The box office on the first day was 36.45 million US dollars!"

Only one day after its release, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" earned $36.45 million at the box office in North America, which is definitely a scary figure.

When he saw the box office of 36.45 million US dollars on the first day, Ryan was completely relieved. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" was a success on the first day of release. If there is no accident, there is basically no possibility of failure for this film.

And, that's just the North American box office.

According to the ratio of North American box office to overseas box office of the first two "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" and "Lord of the Rings: Rider of the Two Towers".

The main box office market for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" should come from overseas, not North America.

The reason is very simple. The original film has a lot more fans and audiences in Europe than in North America.

"not bad."

"However, it didn't exceed the first-day box office of "Spider-Man." Natalie Portman shrugged without much surprise.

The box office of "Spider-Man" on the first day was as high as 44.08 million US dollars, which is nearly 8 million US dollars more than the 36.45 million US dollars at the box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

However, the overseas box office of "Spider-Man" is not very good, not as good as the previous two "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" and "Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers".

"The box office results on the first day don't mean anything."

"The next box office trend and overseas box office are the key." Ryan reminded.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has been rated higher by the media than "Spider-Man"

In fact, he never thought that "Spider-Man" could surpass "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which is an obvious thing.

"Spider-Man" is just a commercial popcorn movie, while "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is an epic masterpiece that can be recorded in Hollywood history.

What's more, the commercial popcorn index of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" also reached 99%, with an IMDB score of 9.8.

After looking at it, Ryan put down the fax, took the newspaper that the maid brought over just now, and started to read it.

Almost at the same time, countless people in North America, like Ryan, picked up the newspaper and turned to the entertainment page, and saw the first-day box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" was 36.45 million US dollars.

Surprised and taken for granted.

Ever since, they turned their attention to newspaper reviews.

"The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy brings not just three movies, but a world, a real world."

The Los Angeles Times gave it a perfect score of 100.

The newspaper that also gave full marks, as well as the "New York Times", spoke highly of the entire film.

"As a closing work, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is obviously perfect, with classic battles, fearless hearts, brave moves forward, and the reluctance to part at the end."

The famous film magazine "Premiere" focuses on "The Hobbit".

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is not the end, there will be The Hobbit in the future. Looking forward to Orion Pictures and Peter Jackson bringing The Hobbit to the screen."

As we all know, Orion Pictures not only owns the adaptation copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", but also owns the adaptation copyright of "The Hobbit", so it is completely possible to shoot a trilogy project again.

With the fan base accumulated by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Hobbit" can easily get a large audience support.

However, not everyone is happy to see "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" hit the box office on its first day.

Among them was Robert Shea, the president of New Line Pictures, who looked sullenly at the comments in the newspaper, "Ryan Gosling, and Peter Jackson!"

The two films in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers", have a combined global box office of 1.988 billion US dollars.

If you count the $36.45 million first-day box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", it is enough to exceed $2 billion.

The media has begun to predict that the total box office of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is likely to reach 3 billion US dollars, while the shooting cost of the three films is only 300 million US dollars.

Even including the subsequent additional investment and publicity costs will not exceed 500 million US dollars.

One can imagine how terrifying the benefits that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will bring to Orion Pictures will be.

Every time he thought of this, Robert Shay felt tightness in his chest and an urge to vomit blood.

If Ryan Gosling and Orion Films hadn't taken the lead~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Lord of the Rings trilogy should have been a project of New Line Films.

"This is the new filming plan for the sequel of "A Nightmare on Elm Street." Michael Lynn, co-chairman and CEO of New Line Films, opened the door and walked in, placing a document on the desk.

Seeing Michael Lynn, Robert Shea rubbed his temples wearily, and said, "Prepare the crew as soon as possible, and pay attention to the news from Warner Bros."

Warner Bros. executives and Time Warner have always wanted to merge all the assets of New Line Pictures into Warner Bros. and take the management rights from Robert Shea.

In this regard, Robert Shay will naturally not sit still.

In fact, in the past few years, many second-tier Hollywood film companies have had a hard time.

DreamWorks is constantly facing pressure from all sides. New Line Films is always on guard against the complete annexation of Warner Bros., and the Wayne Brothers of Miramax Films has a worse relationship with Disney.
