The next morning, Mark Randolph and Orion Films went to San Francisco, California.

Netflix's headquarters is not in Los Angeles, but in San Francisco, where Wa Valley is the concentration of the Internet industry.

It is even impossible for Netflix to move its headquarters to Los Angeles in the future.

Of course, Los Angeles also has its own advantages, such as Hollywood.

After a period of integration of Orion Films, overseas distribution companies and Marvel Films have gradually moved their headquarters from London and New York to Los Angeles.

Next, Orion Pictures needs to buy an office building large enough to move all the company's departments together.

It's just that no suitable office building has been found for sale, and there are only a few months left before the 9/11 incident, so we can wait for a while.

Ryan did some calculations, and if he bought an office building after the 9/11 incident, he could save at least 20% of the funds, and if he used specific figures, it would cost at least tens of millions of dollars.

The higher the floor, the cheaper the price.

In the face of terrorist attacks, high-rise buildings are gradually neglected by people.

Many companies prefer to have several divisions in different locations. "The lesson of the destruction of the World Trade Center is this: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Back to the topic, Ryan did not go to the Netflix headquarters in person. Right now, Orion Pictures has a lot of work to do, such as the post-production of "Spider-Man" and the upcoming "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Especially in the post-production of the former "Spider-Man", Ryan had to carefully watch every special effects shot, and then asked the digital field and industrial light and magic technicians to modify it repeatedly, striving to achieve the most perfect effect.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released, and it was a little easier.

Orion Films is only one of the investors and is not responsible for the overseas distribution of the film. Warner Bros. is responsible for many things.

Even the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was held by Warner Bros.

The premiere of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was not held in North America, but in the UK, the original hometown of the film.

It is expected that there will be a two-day preview on November 21 and 22, and it will be officially released in the UK on the 23rd, and the North American release time of the film will be advanced from the 26th to the 23rd.

Kushiro UK and North America will be released simultaneously.

This is an impromptu decision. Warner Bros. moved the preview of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" from the 24th and 25th to the 21st and 22nd. The film will be officially released on Thanksgiving on the 23rd.

In terms of release time, it is considered a very good schedule.

The only thing to worry about is that Disney's "Undead" will be released in North America on the 22nd.

As for why they chose to put the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the UK!

The reason is very simple.

This is not only the request of Rowling, the author of the original work, but also the suggestion of the producer and director of the film crew.

Britain is the hometown of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The three leading actors in the film are all British. It is the best choice to put the premiere in the UK.

Besides, it is nothing new for Hollywood studios to place their film premieres overseas.

For example, in the first "Rush Hour", Orion Pictures put the premiere of the film on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Before the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", the New Zealand government revealed a plan to put the film's premiere in New Zealand.

However, it was rejected by Ryan.

The population of New Zealand is slightly larger than that of Los Angeles, and it is not the main box office market for the film. It is impossible for Orion Films to place the premiere in a country with a population of only a few million.

The UK is different, with a population of around 60 million and one of the largest box office markets in Europe.

Of course, North America is the main box office market for "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. held a grand promotional dinner for the film.

This is not only a simple promotional dinner, but also related to the next film in the series, Orion Pictures' cooperation with Warner Bros.

The survey data of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is very gratifying. Orion Pictures has discussed with Warner Bros. many times about the shooting plan of the next "Harry-Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

As long as the first weekend box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" meets expectations, Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. will officially announce the shooting plan of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

In addition, to create momentum for the release of the film, the main cast of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will be present, including the Golden Triangle, who will be one of the centerpieces of the banquet.

Rowling, the author of the original book, will also appear at the banquet in person to promote the film.

Once "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is successfully released, apart from Orion Pictures and Warner Bros., Rowling, the author of the original work, will be the biggest beneficiary. She can definitely become a famous writer all over the world .

In addition, the crew members of several films that Orion Films will release next year will also attend the banquet.

Such as "Rush Hour 3", "Tomb Raider 2" and so on.

It can be said that every public banquet and party in Hollywood is not simple, and they all have other purposes.

Private banquets and parties are relatively simple.

"I thought you'd stay in England for a few more days."

At the entrance of the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel, Ryan put his arms around Charlize Theron's waist very naturally.

"I want, too."

"It's just that I need to come back to participate in the crew's promotional activities." Charlize Theron shrugged her beautiful and smooth shoulders.

While talking, the two walked into the banquet hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

From Hollywood practitioners, big-name stars, to representatives of North American theater companies, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, to Hollywood film company executives, etc., almost all eyes fell on Ryan.

Orion Films is undoubtedly the focus of Hollywood this year.

First, it spent a huge amount of money to win MGM, became a member of the Film Association, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was a big hit, and it was booked in advance to be the champion of the annual box office rankings.

Then there was the success of "X-Men" and the success of Marvel's first superhero project.

Take any one out and you will be shocked.

What's more, these impacts are just the beginning. For a long time to come, Orion Pictures will be in a rising period.

MGM's film library copyright authorization period is about to expire, and in a few years, Orion Pictures will completely own the world's largest film copyright library.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is only the first film in the trilogy, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers" will be released in early May next year.

There is also the superhero film "Spider-Man" in post-production, which is also one of Marvel's superhero film projects.

Even though he tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, Michael Ovitz's expression was still a little unnatural, and a hint of jealousy could be seen faintly.

Even by the most conservative estimates, the earnings of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" and "X-Men" will be staggering.

It can bring hundreds of millions of dollars to Orion Films, or even more than 1 billion dollars in revenue.

Even in Hollywood, it is a very astonishing figure.

Enough to make any studio jealous.

"Unfortunately, Orion Films and Ryan Gosling have no interest in packaging services." Michael Ovitz not only felt very sorry.

Otherwise, Orion Films is a good partner.

"Come on, let's go over and say hello to Ryan."

Roland Emmerich held a glass of red wine and looked at Ryan surrounded by crowds in the distance, "Don't forget, our new project still lacks a collaborator."

Michael Ovitz nodded, "You're right."

However, the two didn't go directly, but waited until there were fewer people around Ryan before coming forward.

"Hi, Ryan, Charlie." Roland Emmerich greeted warmly.

Seeing Roland Emmerich and Michael Ovitz~www.novelbuddy.com~Ryan's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, as if since "Godzilla", Roland Emmerich and Michael Ovitz Witts makes for a great partner.

"Hi, Roland, Michael, long time no see."

Ryan kept his smile unchanged, "I heard that you plan to adapt "The Coming Global Superstorm"?"

"This is a good book. Originally, Orion Films planned to buy the copyright of the adaptation."

"The Coming Global Superstorm," by Whitley-Striber and Art Bell, describes what might happen today if the North Atlantic Current destabilizes.

It is said to be a short story, but it is more like a thesis.

When Ryan saw this short story for the first time, he planned to ask someone to buy the copyright of the adaptation.

It's a pity that Roland Emmerich and Michael Ovitz took the lead.
