The initial investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department was not complicated. It was nothing more than extracting food from the scene, testing alcohol, interrogating all the people who had entered and exited the studio last night, and checking the surveillance video of the studio.

Surprisingly, the monitoring equipment of the Warner Brothers studio is aging, which has caused many cameras to be damaged for a long time, and has not been fully repaired. It is estimated that the Los Angeles Police Department will not get any useful footage.

This cannot be blamed on the poor management of the Warner Bros. studio. Currently, most production crews in Hollywood choose to shoot in overseas locations such as Canada and New Zealand, as well as in other states. Few production crews stay in Los Angeles.

The studios under the Hollywood studios are almost all in a state of long-term loss, unable to spend large sums of money to repair various facilities.

Even Warner Bros. has built a new studio in Canada, and the old studio in Los Angeles has almost become a tourist attraction except for renting out.

"Most of the people who were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment are out of danger and can be discharged after a few days of rest."

Hearing the news that Avi-Allard came back from the hospital, Ryan felt a little relieved, as long as the person is fine, the rest of the loss is just a trivial matter for the crew.

"Are you sure, this is a poisoning incident!" Stan Lee asked in a deep voice.

He didn't attend the crew party last night, but stayed in his apartment in Los Angeles to rest, and was lucky to escape.

"Basically, it is certain that this is a man-made poisoning incident."

Sofia Coppola glanced at Ryan, and continued: "It's just that it's not clear whether the person who put the vomiting drug was for revenge on the crew or a certain person in the crew, and we can only wait for the results of the police investigation. "

Although on the surface, this incident did not bring too much loss to the crew, it was more like an act of revenge.

But no one dares to say that the current situation facing Orion Films has nothing to do with other Hollywood film companies.

"No matter what purpose is hidden behind this matter."

Ryan glanced at the few people present, and said: "Right now, we must cooperate with the police's investigation and evidence collection first, and don't disclose this matter to the media for the time being."

"If the media asks, it's just a case of simple food poisoning. In addition, all the staff who rescued the hospital, including the invited models, will be properly compensated in the name of the crew."

"Also remember that the crew is also the victim, and we need to stand among all the victims."

Among the few people in the conference room right now, none of them are Hollywood rookies, and they can easily think of many things.

No matter what the cause of this incident is, or whether it is a small move by other Hollywood film companies, Orion Pictures can use the impact of this incident to bring a lot of enthusiasm to the future release of "X-Men".

Of course, many things need to be done in moderation, and the LAPD cannot be pushed to the opposite side.

In fact, he didn't talk about too many things. Ryan chose to hide some things, so as not to spread the news and cause panic.

After all, some things are too sensitive, and the less people know, the better.

As several people walked out of the conference room, Stan Lee came to Ryan and sighed, "The results of "Inception" are too dazzling."

Stan Lee seemed to continue with some emotion: "Even, for other Hollywood film companies, Orion Films shouldn't have such a dazzling film."

He paused, and said again: "Ryan, be careful, maybe what happened last night is just the beginning."

Ryan nodded silently, "Li, you're right. The traditional giants of Hollywood won't watch Orion Films gradually grow."

The North American film box office market has a limited number of viewers each year, and the rise of Orion Films will inevitably affect the interests of traditional Hollywood giants.

"I'll give you a suggestion." Stan Lee reminded, "Don't stay in Los Angeles for the next film, you can go overseas, such as New Zealand."

"Hollywood studios have struggled to reach New Zealand, just as Marvel has been unable to penetrate the Asian market."

The rise of Orion Films is too short, and its influence in North America is limited. It is difficult to compete with traditional Hollywood giants, but New Zealand is different.

The overseas filming locations chosen by large Hollywood commercial crews are generally Canada, followed by New Zealand.

Orion Films is just the opposite. New Zealand is the preferred overseas shooting location, plus the ongoing filming of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, with an investment of up to 300 million US dollars, and a studio under construction.

The influence of Orion Films in New Zealand is much higher than that of other Hollywood film companies, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

Ryan was thinking about it until Stan Lee left.

Stan Lee has been engaged in comic creation for many years, has dealt with Hollywood a lot, and has seen a lot of dark sides. Just like what he said just now, several traditional giants in Hollywood will not just watch the rise of Orion Pictures.

What happened last night was just the beginning, and there will be a steady stream of small moves in the future.

The best option is to temporarily stay away from Hollywood and put the crew's filming location overseas.

As for the truth of the whole thing, it is secondary.

In many cases, no evidence is needed, as long as you know who is the biggest beneficiary.

However, Ryan has another choice, to reach MGM's acquisition plan as soon as possible, so as to stand at the top of Hollywood and become a member of the traditional giants.

"Why, still thinking about it!"

Nancy Utley walked in from the door, "Actually, the next thing will not be too much trouble."

Various things happen to Hollywood crews every year. Generally speaking, they will not affect the promotion and release of future films.

Hearing this, Ryan raised his head and glanced at Nancy Utley, as if he had made up his mind, his mood suddenly became much better, "Nancy, call Jon for me, I have something to ask him .”

"One thing that is enough to change the status quo." He added.

Nancy Utley's expression froze, and she said very cautiously: "Ryan, it's best not to do anything until the truth of the matter is found out."

"There are already people watching us, even waiting for us to make mistakes."

She was afraid that Ryan would do something extreme and complicate the whole thing.

"Don't worry, I won't mess around."

Ryan smiled slightly, "After a while, you will know that it is definitely a good thing."

"By the way, how is Wesley-Snipes doing?" He didn't continue talking, but asked about Wesley-Snipes.

"If there is no accident, he will face about three years of prison life."

Nancy Utley gave Ryan a puzzled look, and continued, "Of course, as long as he performs well inside, he can be released on parole in advance, and he can come out in about two years at most."

The United States is a commercial society, and money can often change many things. In contrast, getting parole early is only a trivial matter.

"Tell him for me." Ryan picked up the cold coffee, lowered his head and took a sip, "When he is released from prison, Orion Pictures will prepare to shoot the sequel of "Blade Warrior."

In fact, what happened last night was not the first time. It can be seen from "Blade Warrior" that someone has been staring at Orion Pictures for a long time.

"Wesley Snipes will definitely jump for joy." Nancy Utley didn't have any surprise on her face.

The box office data of "Blade Warrior" is good. Even if it is considered a high publicity fee, it can bring a lot of income to Orion Pictures.

If it weren't for the film starring Wesley Snipes, who is about to face prison life, I'm afraid Orion Pictures has already started preparing for the filming plan for the sequel of "Blade Warrior".

Next, Jon Fertimer came in alone and had a secret conversation with Ryan for a long time before the two left from the conference room. Ryan asked Daniel Green to drive back to Bel Air.

Not to mention that he didn't sleep all night last night, which made his body smell bad. Ryan needs to go home to clean up, eat something casually, and sleep.

The impact of the poisoning incident was far less than what the Los Angeles Police Department expected. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Whether it was the crew, Orion Pictures, or even the patients who were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, they all chose to remain silent. .

Ryan didn't pay attention to the progress of the investigation. He only took one day off and devoted himself to the post-production of the film the next day.

At the same time, on August 6, "Rush Hour 2" was released on a large scale in North America, and it opened on Friday with a scale of 3,100 theaters, which shows that many theater companies are very optimistic about the film's prospects.

On the day of its release on Friday, it earned $23.1 million at the box office on its first day, $24.34 million on Saturday, and $19.95 million on Sunday.

In just three days, the box office of the film's first weekend was as high as 67.4 million US dollars, while the entire film budget was only 40 million US dollars.

There's no question that Rush Hour 2 was a success

Many media have exclaimed that Orion Films has dug up a treasure in a film starring Chinese and blacks.
