The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 111 I wish you success
In just ten minutes, Daniel Melick's impression of Ronan changed drastically: this man is simply a profiteer!
Thinking of the various attacks he has endured recently, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.
Mr. Anderson. Daniel Malik asked, Did you specially arrange those few media events?
Ronan looked at Daniel Melick with strange eyes, and said: When we were negotiating, there were regulations on media activities, and I was fulfilling the contract.
Daniel Melick thought about the terms of the contract, and his fear grew: Did Ronan Anderson plan everything now when he bought the film? That was too scary.
Ronan said again: My company and I abide by the spirit of the contract, and every clause in the contract is carefully fulfilled.
Daniel Malik wanted to turn the situation around, saying: I'm going to call a press conference and I'm going to expose everything!
Ronan smiled, but didn't answer.
Daniel Malik's words can only be said in words. In the past few days, he has argued in front of the media more than once, but he has been unable to change the direction of public opinion at all.
This scapegoat was thrown down, and then it was pinned on the head by the media and movie fans.
It's all about the talk show, admitting in front of the media that the whole plan came from him.
Let's stop here today. Ronan didn't want to get entangled with Daniel Malik, and politely said off: I still have a meeting.
Daniel Malik didn't give up yet, he tried to stabilize his mind, and said, I have a new film project, originally I wanted to cooperate with your company, but Mr. Anderson's attitude made me...
Ronan interrupted him by directly raising his hand: You can find other partners as much as you can.
I... Daniel Malik didn't know what to say.
I just had a movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America, and you just rejected it? Isn't Hollywood chasing success?
Ronan remembered one thing, opened the drawer, took out a video tape, and pushed it to Daniel Melick: This is your video tape, take it back.
Daniel Melick looked down at the videotape, then looked up at Ronan, making sure that Ronan really didn't have any interest in what he said.
Picking up the tape, Daniel Melick took a deep look at Ronan: Someone in Hollywood will work with me!
Ronan smiled: I wish your new film success.
Seeing the sincere smile, Daniel Malik felt powerless, turned and walked out of the office.
Ronan squeezed his chin: It seems that I look like a villain. Daniel Malik is the hero who is waiting for a counterattack. Unfortunately, he has never read the online novels on the other side of the Pacific, otherwise he would say something like Thirty Years and Thirty Years in River East Hexi is more appropriate.
It's not appropriate to bully young people and be poor, after all, they are all in their thirties.
Of course Ronan knew that with the success of The Blair Witch, Daniel Malik could easily find a cooperative company.
Even, Daniel Malik didn't have to look for it, and a film company would come to him on his own initiative.
Chasing success is a rule in Hollywood that will never change.
Ronan didn't think about Daniel Malik again. The two parties will not cooperate in the future. He took the work at hand seriously, and then went to Warner Studios for a tour, the two crews of Reaper and Ace Agent, The filming has been completed and is now in the post-production stage.
During the period, Ronan received a long-distance call from Europe. Carmen Kath would come to Los Angeles some time later to attend an event of Dior in Los Angeles and agreed to meet him.
Just this year, Carmen Kath won the endorsement of Dior's new true self series perfume and became the first spokesperson of this perfume.
Ronan also knows this perfume, because Charlize Theron has endorsed this perfume for more than ten years in his previous life, and every advertisement for South African diamonds is gorgeous and beautiful.
Can get the endorsement of Dior, Carmen - Kath undoubtedly stepped into the ranks of supermodels.
Just like actors and stars are two completely different existences,
Models and supermodels are also very different.
During several meetings in Los Angeles last year, Carmen Kath left a very good impression on Ronan, but as a traditional model, Carmen Kath's career center is undoubtedly in Europe.
Ronan didn't think too much about this aspect, and he didn't put much thought into it at this stage.
After walking around the two crews, Ronan found George and asked him to contact Robert Ludlum again to see if he could resolve the copyright issue of the two books Bourne's Hegemony and Bourne's Ultimatum.
Robert Ludlum has been in poor health and refused to discuss copyright with others. This is the most troublesome problem.
Ronan was not afraid that they would charge a high price, but he refused to talk about it, which made it more difficult.
The Blair Witch was a great success, and when the box office share came to the account, the funds in hand would be much more generous, and the film and television copyrights of those two books must be obtained as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will be more expensive to wait until after the release of The Bourne Identity.
George Clint has been in touch with Robert Ludlum's lawyer and the publisher. Perhaps because he is very old and stubborn, Robert Ludlum simply ignores the copyright information from the outside world.
Maybe we have to wait for Robert Ludlum to hang up and talk to his copyright entrusting party.
…………
Daniel Malik returned to the hotel and had to deal with inquiries from several members of the crew. After entering the room, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted. His movie sold so much money, but he couldn't afford to share it.
The phone rang suddenly, and after he connected it, he said a few words, his tired eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance.
The person who called was a high-level executive from DreamWorks, and the other party wanted to ask him to talk.
Daniel Malik did not hesitate, and made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby. He changed into a suit and tidied his hair before going to the appointment.
In the hotel lobby, he met DreamWorks producer Susan Arnold.
Hello, Director Malik. Susan Arnold shook hands with Daniel Malik: Congratulations on your film being a big hit.
Hearing this, Daniel Malik's face sank, and he quickly returned to normal, saying, Thank you.
After a few polite words from Susan Arnold, she quickly turned to the main topic: The release of The Blair Witch was a big hit, and it came to a successful conclusion. I wonder if Director Malik has any new filming plans?
Daniel Malik immediately heard that DreamWorks was interested in him!
I plan to make another horror film. Although Daniel Malick suffered setbacks with Ronan, the success of The Blair Witch gave him great confidence: We already have a script framework.
Films of the same type are easier to reproduce successfully. Susan Arnold is very aware of this and asked: Do you have a partner? If not, DreamWorks can help you.
I don't have a partner, said Daniel Mylick.
Susan Arnold was a little strange: Embassy Pictures didn't continue to cooperate with you?
Most film companies tend to maintain long-term cooperation with successful directors. They originally thought that Daniel Malik would continue to cooperate with Embassy Pictures, and it would take a little effort to poach the wall.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
I don't want to work with them anymore. Daniel Malik didn't hide it: Ronan Anderson, the head of Embassy Pictures, is too domineering.
The success of The Blair Witch brought Daniel Malik into the attention of many Hollywood companies, and no one really paid attention to the negative reports in the media. Just like those directors who were very successful, DreamWorks, which continued to expand the market, took the lead An olive branch stretched out.
Susan Arnold, who is in charge of horror and thriller films at DreamWorks, just finished The Haunting and is about to start working on a new project.
At present, she roughly has two plans. One is to take a fancy to a Japanese horror film and prepare to win the copyright to remake it; the other is the director of The Blair Witch Daniel Malik.
Because The Haunting and The Blair Witch had a head-to-head confrontation in the market, Susan Arnold carefully studied The Blair Witch. Replicating the success of The Blair Witch.
Susan Arnold heard that there was a conflict between Daniel Melick and the Embassy Films, and in order to confirm this, she asked, May I take the liberty to ask, between you and the Embassy Films...
The name of DreamWorks is very bluffing, at least it is much stronger than Ronan's company.
Daniel Malik wanted to grab the hand that was extended by the other party, and he needed someone to talk to if he was bored. He simply said: The Blair Witch sold more than 100 million US dollars at the box office, and Ronan Anderson only gave me $80,000 in copyright fees and $50,000 in box office bonuses, but owns the rest!
Susan Arnold understood as soon as she heard it, this is a typical uneven distribution of spoils.
Can't let this director go back to cooperate with Embassy Pictures, Susan Arnold immediately had an idea and said: Find a professional lawyer to sue Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures, and drag the lawsuit, as long as it can be dragged on for a while. In time, most Hollywood companies will choose to settle out of court.
Good way. Daniel Malik seemed to have found the backbone: Can you introduce me to a professional lawyer?
Susan Arnold showed a nice smile: No problem, DreamWorks will try its best to help partners.
Daniel Malik nodded heavily: Thank you.
You're welcome. Susan Arnold stated the prerequisites calmly: Director Malik, since you have a new film plan, can you finish the script as soon as possible? This way I can also promote your project in DreamWorks.
After a brief pause, she added: Success can make Ronan Anderson regret his stinginess!
There was fire in his heart, and he was suppressed by Ronan with the contract. Daniel Malick said immediately: Two weeks! I can come up with a new script in two weeks! Believe me, this will be more successful than The Blair Witch horror movie!
