Chapter 608

In fact, looking at the performance of the North American media decades after the end of World War II, we will find that in some major events, the mainstream media has always maintained an amazing consistency, although the mainstream media in North America, on the surface, most of the shares are scattered in the hands of many people , but has always been deeply influenced by Jews or Jews.

Anti-Semitism, like racism, can be thought of or discussed in private, but if it is expressed publicly in some ways, it is necessary to be prepared for the storm.

Maybe this movie is just a hype deliberately instigated by Mel Gibson, but Jews in North America don't think so, and they will be wary of any blatant anti-Jewish voice.

What's more, Mel Gibson's private views of the Jews are not too secretive.

Here, he opened fire on two well-known Jewish journalists, and over there, the media dug up his and his family's roots.

Washington Post in a prominent position, published some disgraceful things about Mel Gibson's father, Gibson Sr. In an interview, he denied the existence of the Holocaust in World War II and called himself a Nazi...

As for Mel Gibson himself, he also has a bad track record in this regard. When he was young, he once participated in a right-wing alliance of UM's interests, which was a well-known extremist group. After he came to Hollywood, he also did not restrain himself and financed it. A traditionally divided Catholic church in the Los Angeles area whose mission is to 'cleanse the Jews who killed Jesus'.

The media's remarks also stimulated major Jewish groups in North America. Some angry Jews rallied to protest outside the theater. Some even put on the prison uniforms of Jews in Nazi concentration camps. Some Jewish congressmen even suggested blocking the film.

Although he never thought that the film was related to him in his heart, in just a few days, Ryan received numerous calls, including traditional Hollywood Jewish representatives such as Pearson and Spielberg. There are also Jewish groups from Wall Street. There are also some representatives of the National Jewish Association.

In an area with free commerce like North America, it is almost impossible to forcibly take down a movie that is being released. How to suppress the rising anti-Semitic activities is the focus of their concern.

After hundreds of years of public relations and hard work, the Jews have established a large and intricate power in this land, and they will never allow anyone to shake their foundations.

It's very simple to say that Mel Gibson touched the sensitive nerves of the Jewish people, and he has to bear the consequences.

Although deep down in disapproval, and it's none of my business that spins in his mind, Ryan verbally expressed that he would stand with all the Jews of North America.

Anyway.

He is one of the most famous Jewish people in America, and a pure Jewish lover.

The protests are just the beginning, and when The Passion of the Christ ends and the topic cools off, Mel Gibson will have a tough time.

Speaking of which, Mel Gibson is rebellious, has a bad temper, and still has a big mouth after drinking, which is not popular even in the Australian actor circle. But there is no conflict of interest with Ryan. If it hadn't violated the interests of his class, he would only treat the other party as a passerby.

When a person enjoys the benefits that status can bring, he must fulfill the corresponding obligations. This is the simplest truth.

Of course, for now, Ryan won't put too much energy into this kind of thing, and there is a lot of work within Disney alone that needs to be handled by him.

What kind of benefits can the right film bring to the group?

I looked at the dark night sky outside the conference room. Ryan crossed his hands on the conference table and turned his attention to the many Disney executives, After Pirates of the Caribbean was released in North America and around the world. Visitors to our amusement parks increased by 70%, of which More than 80% were influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean, and after these people entered, they not only played the Pirates of the Caribbean project...

He tapped on the table lightly, adding to his tone, When most of the tourists left, they bought more than one souvenir related to the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the sales of all our merchandise have skyrocketed.

In the past two months, sales of other types of peripheral products have increased by 40%. Robert Iger, who chaired the meeting, added.

Ryan nodded to him and continued the topic just now, So, making movies or cartoons closely linked to Disney will be our next focus.

But our traditional films are based on various fairy tales.

Roy Disney, a lifelong consultant, expressed his opinion at this time, And these fairy tales have been made into movies or cartoons by us more than once.

Without innovation, there's a huge risk in remakes.

After taking off her glasses, Nicole rubbed the corner of her eyes lightly. Her words were approved by many people, That's true.

Ryan, your animal version of The Prince's Revenge succeeded. Roy Disney said of The Lion King that year, while our Romeo and Juliet failed.

Many people's eyes are on Ryan. After all, his creativity in movies seems to be endless, and after these movies are operated by the Disney Group's entire industry chain, the benefits will be maximized.

If the classic fairy tale movies with Disney tradition can be re-interpreted, the benefits will be significantly greater.

They all have such confidence, because last year's financial report has not been announced to the public, but it is not a secret to everyone here.

Walt Disney's operating income in 2003 was as high as more than 38 billion 63 million US dollars, and its net profit exceeded 4.9 billion US dollars, while the two figures in 2002 were more than 26 billion US dollars and 3.3 billion US dollars respectively.

After a year of integration and internal digestion in 2002, the mergers and acquisitions of Pixar Studios, Jenkins Pictures, and Marvel Comics were fully evident.

Among them, most of the movies and peripherals that brought huge income to Disney have an inseparable relationship with Ryan.

Even, some people are still considering that if Ryan sold the copyrights of Mission Impossible and Terminator, Disney may have made more income.

Fortunately, they now have their own special agent series. Although Bourne Bourne adapted from Bourne's Identity is not a super hit, compared to the investment, the profit is considerable, and it can also be built. into a series.

They believe that, since Ryan said so, he must have a general idea.

We can repackage those familiar fairy tales.

Ryan turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on John Lasseter, For example, Rapunzel, which was just approved by the animation department.

Most people don't know that Disney Animation Studios has started a 3D animation feature film, and they don't know the specific content. Ryan didn't mean to sell off and continued to talk.

Let's put it this way, we can interpret traditional fairy tales in a different way.

It won't be a spoof like Shrek, will it? Someone said worriedly when Ryan stopped to drink water.

Putting down the coffee cup, Ryan shook his head with a smile, Of course not, that's not in the style of a Disney movie.

There are also many people in charge of the creative team and the editorial team who come here, and their ears have long been pricked up.

Let's give a few examples. Ryan didn't make them wait for a long time. For example, Sleeping Beauty, the one who wakes up the princess doesn't have to be the prince, it can be the witch; and the Snow Queen, the prince doesn't necessarily fall in love with the princess, On the contrary, it may be that she wants to annex her kingdom... well, even the traditional Snow White may defeat the evil queen herself with the help of hunters.

These reasons are not complicated, but for Disney creators who are bound by tradition, they have opened up their thinking on the other hand. Although some of them may not be suitable for the current social environment, they have also pierced a thin barrier. , even if the fairy tale is not a spoof, it can be re-interpreted from a different angle.

All Ryan gave was inspiration. Disney's creative department spends most of their time immersed in various fairy tales. As long as they have the right thinking, they are the most suitable candidates to adapt the script.

It was almost midnight when I left the Disney headquarters building after the meeting. When I entered the parking lot, Nicole got into his car generously. After Ryan closed the door, the black Rolls Royce was in the front and rear of the bodyguard car Accompanied by him, he drove out of the underground parking lot.

While Burbank's nightlife is just getting started, there's noticeably less traffic on the road, but drivers are still engrossed.

Because this is Burbank, a well-known media and entertainment capital, there are countless little stars who get drunk at night, drive around crazy, but have very poor driving skills.

Every month, there are more than a dozen celebrities who are involved in traffic accidents due to drunk driving in Los Angeles.

After turning a few corners, the car went all the way to the south, the speed gradually increased, and a safe enough distance was maintained between the three cars.

Have you agreed on the Passion of the Christ?. Inside the car, Nicole asked Ryan seriously.

For the time being, use the media to put pressure on him. Ryan just raised his finger, Nicole has come to help him rub his forehead, and said at the same time, Don't worry about our thoughts, we don't like him, his popularity is very bad .

Sniffing the scent from Nicole's body, Ryan nodded lightly, he understood that what Nicole was saying was that Mel Gibson was equally unpopular in the Australian gang.

Ryan, fasten your seat belt! There's something behind!

The voice of John's reminder suddenly came from the intercom. Ryan, without any hesitation, fastened Nicole's seat belt and fastened his own as quickly as possible.

Then, he looked back and saw a police car flashing lights, chasing a Lexus whose speed can only be described as crazy, rushing towards them. (To be continued...) ()
