October 26, 2007, evening, Upper West Side, New York.
The black sedan stopped at the end of the red carpet.
Nanaya slowly got out of the car, took Ryan's arm and strode towards the AMC cinema in front.
This is the premiere of "The Incredible Hulk", the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will officially meet the public today.
As Marvel's largest shareholder, Nanaya was naturally invited by Marvel to attend the premiere.
However, as an invited guest, Nanaya had no intention of communicating with the fans around him.
After all, today is Marvel's home court, so as the founder of Fate, he should not just join in the fun.
So, Nanaya took Ryan and walked across the red carpet at the fastest speed and entered the visiting area on the side.
Although he does not plan to participate in the Nanaya fan interaction, he still needs to do some simple media interviews.
Marvel is his future cash cow, so naturally he has to take good care of it.
At this time when Marvel still needs to thrive, Nanaya naturally took the initiative to support it.
The appearance of Nanaya and Ryan naturally attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters.
As one of the young and famous directors currently emerging in Hollywood, the media here is of course full of interest in him.
Especially Nanaya has been busy with this and that in Japan recently.
It's been a long time since we've heard from him in Hollywood.
What everyone is most curious about is the new project that Nanaya is busy with.
But today is Marvel's place, and Nanaya has no intention of talking about his own movie at all.
I just said a few words about Marvel's content.
"The Incredible Hulk is a great work. I believe that after watching it, you will see the door to a new era."
Of course Nanaya would emphasize boasting about his own children.
"The world that Marvel has built for everyone is a wonderful and unique world."
"I believe that in the near future, Marvel movies will not only be movies, but will become a cultural phenomenon that will spread all over the world."
Since bragging is tax-free, Nanaya brags as much as he wants.
"I can't wait for this day to come."
As for the reporters' questions about his new film, Nanaya simply refused to answer and hurriedly took Ryan away from the interview area.
"You look a bit like you're signing in," Ryan teased softly.
Under the guidance of the staff, Nanaya and Ryan walked towards the VIP lounge.
"Anyway, they are just polite words. You have to say them. You may encounter this in the future."
Nanaya replied with a raised eyebrow.
"I hope you're talking about my career as a diplomat, not as an actor." Ryan sighed.
Nanaya stopped talking immediately.
Because he has been waiting for a new appointment, Ryan has now become a shut-in.
This made Ryan particularly anxious.
In order to hide his embarrassment in front of his old colleagues, Ryan even moved out of the embassy and lived in Nanaya's villa.
Although since he started "dating" Nanaya, Ryan would often stay at Nanaya's house for a night from time to time.
But this is the first time I have stayed here for such a long time.
Nanaya didn't care about this, he just thought of it as raising a big cat.
Besides, this "girlfriend" never made any demands on his chaotic private life.
Nanaya really couldn't be more satisfied.
However, Rin and Sakura, who occasionally stayed at the house, were very wary of Ryan.
Although Nanaya talked about Ryan's religious issues and said that he would never have a physical relationship with her.
But Rin and Sakura still regard Ryan as a strong rival.
After all, those breasts and that butt.
They would never believe that Nanaya would not be interested in that woman.
As for the other Shion of the Nanaya family...
"Nanaya, Ryan!"
Just when Nanaya was thinking about his female boss, she really appeared in front of him.
"Ms. Shion."
Ryan immediately smiled at Shion and greeted her.
During this most lost time of her life, Shion has been encouraging herself.
This caused the relationship between Ryan and Shion to quickly heat up.
Originally, Ryan's attitude towards Shion was still at the stage of "acquaintance", but during this period of time it has directly progressed to the stage of "friend" and is even sprinting towards the stage of "best friend".
However, in Nanaya's opinion, it seemed that Shion was taking advantage of Ryan's frustration.
However, Shion laughed at Nanaya, saying that he was jealous that his relationship with Ryan was better now than before.
"Hey, Ryan."
Shion didn't bother to be polite with Ryan, and came up and said directly: "Can I borrow your boyfriend for a few minutes?"
"No problem."
Ryan knew that Shion wanted to talk to Nanaya about work, so he readily gave up the seat next to Nanaya.
Ryan himself ran to find his sister Lily.
"Please, Director Nanaya."
Shion gave Nanaya a smug look, then took Nanaya's arm and started walking.
When they reached a less crowded place, Nanaya suddenly asked, "How is your recent plan going?"
The plan that Nanaya was talking about was naturally Shion's plan to trick 20th Century Fox.
This kind of thing is not suitable for others to hear, so Nanaya can only ask questions at this time.
"It went pretty smoothly. I have successfully caught his attention." Shion puffed up her nose proudly.
Nanaya carefully warned: "Be careful, don't be tricked."
Knowing that Nanaya was concerned about her, Shion nodded and said nothing more.
Nanaya didn't ask any more questions.
The current market value of Washimine is substantial.
Although it is certainly not as good as global giants like Microsoft, if we leave out News Corporation, it is definitely stronger than 20th Century Fox.
If Nanaya remembers correctly, News Corporation will face a very difficult scandal in a few years.
By that time, News Corporation itself will be in turmoil and will certainly have no time to take care of the situation of its own branches.
At that time, Nanaya felt that Fox was just fat meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Of course, as an old company in the industry, Fox must still have a lot of cards and capital.
But Nanaya believes that the [Female Fox of Washimine] on his side will definitely not be the loser in the end.
Anyway, the several projects that Nanaya pointed out to Shion were all once very popular and talked about, but they all ended up losing money.
If Fox fell into the trap, Nanaya believed that he would definitely be able to see a good show.
As soon as they entered the VIP lounge, Nanaya and Shion took the initiative to end the conversation about Fox.
Shion began to take the initiative to ask Nanaya about the preparations for "Madoka Magica".
These matters do not involve commercial secrets, and they are not afraid of being leaked by others in the VIP room.
"Basically everything is ready, and I will be able to start filming when I return to Japan this time."
Nanaya answered Shion's questions while flipping through the notebook he carried with him.
"That's good. Will there be any problems during the filming?"
"There is a question that requires your approval, Your Majesty the Queen. I just hope you won't be angry after I tell you."
Nanaya deliberately kept the secret.
"So formal? What's going on?"
Shion was whetted by Nanaya.
"Well... it's like this. Because of the need for 3D shooting technology, I..."
Nanaya deliberately spoke very slowly.
Shion said impatiently, "What do you want? Are you going to sell your ass to Cameron?"
"No, I mean I need to work with Sony."
Nanaya was disgusted by Shion's deliberate disgusting words and told the truth directly.
"Sony?"
Shion pouted, looking a little unhappy.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Sony's 3D camera is the best on the market for 3D photography. No other company has this technology."
In fact, the root of this matter lies in Cameron's hands.
I don't know why, but this truck driver is a loyal fan of Sony.
Of course, this Sony fan is not talking about the game console, but Cameron's filming technology partner.
This partnership has been going on for several years, even before Cameron made Avatar.
It has been said before that the biggest treasure trove of filming "Avatar" is not the movie itself, but the technology used in it.
Cameron was undoubtedly the one who ate the most, while Weta Workshop and Sony divided up the rest of the delicious food.
Among them, the technical patents obtained by Weta Studio are all related to the post-production of movies.
Sony, on the other hand, focuses on filming equipment technology.
Especially professional cameras used to shoot 3D movies.
At present, Sony is probably the most advanced company on the market that can sell products.
Of course, this may be a bit inappropriate. After all, in terms of benefit values alone, Cameron is definitely not as good as the previous two.
However, Cameron is an individual, while Weta Workshop and Sony are both corporate entities.
Considering their size, although they made a lot of money from the technical benefits brought by one movie, they cannot say that they can live entirely on this one movie.
"Really? That's really amazing." Shion sneered and replied in an emotionless voice.
"I told you not to be angry~"
Nanaya smiled bitterly.
"I'm not angry." Shion pouted, "I'm just a little upset."
[Isn't that called being angry? ]
Nanaya wiped the cold sweat from his cheek helplessly.
Although Washimine Entertainment and Sony Columbia have always been partners, Washimine headquarters and Sony headquarters have always been in a very hostile state.
Especially Sony's gaming division.
The love-hate relationship between them and the Washimine Game Club is enough to write a novel of millions of words.
It can be said that apart from the cooperation on movies, the relationship between Washimine and Sony is basically a fight to the death.
Of course, Nanaya needs specific equipment to shoot movies, and Shion can understand that.
But even though she understood it, it still made her feel a little unhappy.
So, Shion immediately chose to retaliate.
"Hey~ Nanaya, has the actor for that role you like so much been confirmed?"
Shion knew that Nanaya had worked really hard for the role of Sayaka Miki.
Sure enough, upon hearing this question, Nanaya's face fell.
"It should be considered selected."
Nanaya said with a headache.
"Oh, who did you choose?"
Shion immediately became interested.
Nanaya said with a sullen face: "Aragaki Yui, let's just say she's a newcomer."
"Who? The kid I haven't heard of."
Shion slowly played a ? .
