Waking up at noon the next day, Nicole Kidman had already left New Zealand by flight. Ryan, as usual, came to the set to continue filming, as if nothing happened last night.

As for the acquisition of Marvel Comics!

As Ryan himself said, don't worry, you can talk slowly.

There is still more than a year to go before the dot-com bubble crisis, and the stock price of Marvel Comics will only get lower and lower. It is those shareholders who really need to worry, not him.

In the next few days, the filming of the crew went very smoothly. The filming at the Wellington studio ended ahead of schedule, and they went to London, England to shoot scenes.

As soon as we got off the plane, the crew was surrounded by a group of reporters, densely packed with flashing lights, shining white.

"Director Ryan Gosling, may I ask if you have seen the cast of "Harry Potter"? Are you satisfied with the actors of Daniel Radcliffe?"

Before Ryan and others could figure out the situation, a bunch of microphones were handed in front of them, and there were twenty or thirty reporters frantically asking questions, and they were all about the casting of "Harry Potter".

"Why did Orion Pictures choose to cooperate with Warner Bros.? Instead of 20th Century Fox and Paramount!"

"Why did you choose to buy the copyright of "Harry-Potter" in the first place? Rowling seemed to be an unknown new author at the time."

Almost none of the questions were related to "Inception". Many people in the crew were slightly embarrassed, but they were embarrassed to show it.

After all, "Harry Potter" is also a film invested by Orion Films, so no one can complain in front of Ryan.

"Sorry..." Ryan said lightly, "I refuse to answer questions about the crew of "Harry Potter"."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Daniel Green, and several bodyguards immediately stepped forward and forcibly parted ways, and the crew walked out of the airport without looking back.

However, they underestimated the perseverance of the British journalists. Many journalists also got on the bus and followed closely behind the production team, threatening to never give up.

It's not that there were no reporters or paparazzi following them before, but it was rare that they were so crazy.

And still in the UK.

The main reason is naturally related to "Harry Potter". The crew is about to officially start filming, and the eyes of the British media have not left.

At this time, Ryan brought the crew of "Inception" to the UK for filming, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of the media.

Half an hour later, a group of people arrived at a Hilton Hotel to check in. Ryan and Charlize-Theron went outside a suite on the top floor and knocked on the door.

Not long after, Helen opened the door and let Ryan and Charlize-Theron in.

"These British reporters are too crazy." Ryan walked to the window, glanced down, and found that there were reporters everywhere in front of the hotel, and even a TV station drove a news interview vehicle over.

There was also a double-decker bus parked on the side of the road, and a reporter with a camera on top climbed onto the top of the bus, holding the camera up with both hands and taking pictures of the hotel floor where the crew was stationed.

"A bunch of annoying guys." Charlize Theron said with a speechless expression, "It's even crazier than American paparazzi."

"It's just an open audition for a Hollywood crew, and it seems that the audition for the "Harry Potter" crew has been over for a while."

Helen glanced lightly, then reached out to close the curtains, "This is London, England, not the United States, and even less Los Angeles."

"The budget for the whole film of "Harry Potter" is as high as 130 million US dollars, which is an astronomical figure for the British film industry and media."

"What's more, Warner Group has already operated "Harry Potter" all over the world. Now is the moment when the popularity is at its peak. It will be fine after a while."

She has already gotten used to it for a while.

"How about the young actors!" Ryan sat down on the sofa and lay down comfortably.

"It's not too bad." Helen said calmly, "Not all underage actors are like Scarlett, who can be recognized by Hollywood."

"Even if future movies hit the box office, it will be difficult for them to get out of this franchise."

That's right, it's a series of movies, not just one movie. Ryan and Warner Bros. planned to shoot a series of movies from the beginning.

A requirement in cast casting that requires actors to sign contracts for multiple films at once.

Helen's Xingkong agency took the opportunity to win the agency contracts of several young actors.

Avoid the situation similar to the original version where a group of agents of young actors unite to put pressure on the crew, asking for sky-high remuneration and post-production share.

Of course, in the end, Warner Bros. was slightly better, only paying a basic salary, and the book income in the later stage of the film was a loss, without paying a penny.

"Scarlett!"

When Scarlett Johansson is mentioned, Ryan feels a headache, she is not a good girl.

No matter in her previous life or now, Scarlett Johansson is a problem girl, and there are many problems.

From time to time it caused some trouble.

"If everyone was like Scarlett, it would be a disaster." Ryan couldn't help complaining.

Of course, there is no less news about Emma Watson in her previous life than Scarlett Johansson.

"Ha ha."

Charlize Theron couldn't help laughing, "I heard that she almost fought with Natalie Portman at the banquet. If someone didn't stop her, the two of them would have to go to the police station."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Helen also had a headache.

Some time ago, the two of them were almost about to hit the earth, and it took her a lot of thought to barely calm down.

"Since you have come to London, you need to be more thoughtful recently. Don't go out alone. It's better to act with the crew, especially Ryan. Your every move will be watched by reporters."

She hesitated, "Let's put it this way, some British journalists are far crazier than you can imagine."

"Last month, Chris Columbus discovered that someone had sneaked into the actors' room and installed cameras and bugs."

"In desperation, the crew could only check all the actors' rooms, and finally found out a lot of things."

Ryan's face straightened. He knew that what Helen said was not alarmist. The information brought back from England was enough to show the degree of madness of the British media.

"In addition to what you said, you also need to be careful when calling. Not all media will follow the rules." He pointed to the phone and said meaningfully.

Charlize-Theron's face changed, "You mean? These media reporters will eavesdrop on our calls!"

"It's not impossible." Helen nodded cautiously, "In short, pay more attention recently."

"I will." Charlize Theron took a deep breath, a little unbelievable.

This is London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and one of the most developed countries in Europe, but she suddenly felt like she had come to a war-torn country in Africa.

No, it's not even as good as Africa, at least you don't have to worry about being tapped.

Ryan felt a little thirsty. He took a glass of water and took a sip with his head down. "Okay, Charlie, don't worry too much. If any media dares to do this, I will let it taste like bankruptcy."

One thing recognized by Hollywood, Ryan's net worth is definitely the richest director in Hollywood, richer than George Lucas.

Even if Orion Films is not counted, the shares of Blue Sky Studios alone have exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

There is also Yahoo, a star company in the Nasdaq technology stocks, and he is one of the largest individual shareholders of Yahoo.

With Yahoo's current market capitalization, it can kill almost 99% of Hollywood studios in a flash.

The most important point is that Ryan's assets are very healthy, not to mention any debts, not even non-performing assets, and he can mobilize a large amount of cash at any time.

On this point, even several traditional giants in Hollywood dare not underestimate it, and even any Hollywood practitioner will not worry about the funding of Orion Films.

And that's not counting investments in Amazon, Google, or Apple.

He can hire a luxurious team of lawyers and make any media regret it.

Even a media giant like Time Warner Group will feel pain in the face of tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees every year.

"Okay, take a break. Warner Bros. held a banquet tonight, and it's a welcome for you." Helen said.

Warner Bros. attaches great importance to the "Harry Potter" project, arguably more than Orion Pictures.

Right now, Orion Films does not lack a series of blockbuster films, such as the "Rush Hour" series, the "Death Comes" that is currently in theaters, the "Ice Age" series, the "Chain Saw" series that is in storage, and Filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

In addition, there are the "American Pie" series, the "Blade Runner" series, the "Tomb Raider" series, plus, the beginning of the planned Marvel superhero movie "X-Men", It will also be a series.

Warner Bros., by contrast, was far more miserable.

Have to pay attention to the "Harry Potter" series of films.

The banquet in the evening is not so much a banquet as a small ceremony. In addition to the red carpet, there is also an interview area.

Unlike most people, Ryan did not choose to walk the red carpet, but took Charlize-Theron to the banquet hall through the side door.

In this regard, Charlize-Theron very much agrees, unless it is a last resort, it is estimated that she will not want to deal with British media reporters for a long time.

No way, the British paparazzi are really scary.

"Hi Ryan, long time no see."

Just after entering the banquet hall, Greg Silverman greeted him warmly. He hugged Ryan first, and then looked at the well-dressed and tall Charlize Theron.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Charlie!" His tone was very polite. The relationship between the other party and Ryan Gosling was almost well-known in Hollywood.

Otherwise, how could an unknown young actor who was born as a model star in several commercial blockbusters one after another, and each of them was directed by Ryan Gosling.

In private, many Hollywood female stars secretly mocked Charlize-Theron.

"I thought you had already gone back." Ryan said equally enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Greg, I'm very glad to meet you!" Charlize Theron said politely.

"In the short term, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in London."

Greg-Silverman shrugged. "Warner Bros. is not Orion Pictures. It has a lot of franchises."

"By the way, I forgot to congratulate you just now. The North American box office of "Ice Age" exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office of "Reaper" exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars."

There seemed to be a trace of envy in his tone.
