The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 147 Can We Win?

Compared to DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment is really a small company.

Looking at Albert Hoffman, Ronan said with a smile: But The Theory of Relativity has a clear internal structure, unlike DreamWorks, where a complete company is actually divided into three groups with clear boundaries, and there is a need for each other. Internal friction...

Having said that, he shook his head.

Dreamworks' personnel relations are more complicated than those of the Big Six companies.

Albert Hoffman's eyes instantly became sharp. In his eyes, Ronan was just a small person.

More than a year ago, this little man went to DreamWorks, begging him to release the film.

The people from DreamWorks came over, and there must be no further talk today. Ronan didn't bother, and said, Alan, Danny. Let's stop here today, and we'll talk another day.

Alan Albert nodded: Yes.

Danny Donald pointed to the booklet: These...

Ronan smiled and said, If you two don't mind the trouble, please take it back. I hope we can get to know each other better.

Danny Donald put away the materials, and so did Alan Albert.

Albert Hoffman didn't know what it was, and he didn't explore it. He said to Alan Albert: Dreamworks is very sincere in inviting the two of you, and I hope you two don't miss this opportunity. The platform of Dreamworks , second only to the Big Six in Hollywood.

Big companies do have confidence, and this is also true. Today's DreamWorks, in terms of scale alone, is definitely the leader in the second tier.

Why doesn't Alan Albert know the strength of DreamWorks? The platform of a large company is indeed beyond the reach of a small company, and he immediately said: Mr. Hoffman, I will seriously consider it.

Ronan didn't interrupt rashly, the gap in hard power between Theory of Relativity and DreamWorks was too great.

Even though Albert Hoffman's attitude is a bit arrogant, in the eyes of many people, it will be understood as the confidence of a big company.

Thinking about the previous life, not to mention many large companies, even some medium-sized companies, 985 and 211 are not necessary.

Alan Albert and Danny Donald bid farewell to leave, but Albert Hoffman did not move.

Ronan was also preparing to leave, and went back to think about countermeasures.

Mr. Anderson. Albert Hoffman turned his back on the guest, pointed to the sofa chair, and said, Do you have time? Let's talk.

Ronan thought for a while, sat down, and asked, What's the matter?

Albert Hoffman smiled slightly and said, Go back, go back to Los Angeles, DreamWorks will remember your favor.

Adding a competitor in the middle, it is hard to say that Alan Albert will not offer excessive conditions, and DreamWorks will definitely pay more.

Ronan was silent for a moment, the favor of DreamWorks? It is estimated that it just stays on the lips. Even if DreamWorks really remembers this favor, can it be as important as Shanghai's overseas distribution channels?

To do business, we must first measure the value and pros and cons.

After thinking about it for a while, Ronan came to a more important conclusion.

I'll be back in a few days. Ronan said vaguely.

After taking care of Alan Albert and Danny Donald,

Of course back to Los Angeles.

Albert Hoffman frowned and said, Are you going to compete maliciously with DreamWorks? Young people, it's good to have confidence and talent, but don't overestimate yourself.

Ronan smiled: Thank you for your reminder. This is very correct. Those who are full of self-confidence and think that they can run wild in Hollywood with their talents end up becoming stepping stones for others.

Hearing this, Albert Hoffman nodded slightly. The young man didn't seem to have the determination to fight DreamWorks to the end.

Then increase the weight, Albert Hoffman said again: Mr. Anderson, I am here in the UK this time, on behalf of Director Steven Spielberg, he attaches great importance to this matter! David - Mr. Geffen and Mr. Jeff Katzenberg are staring this way too!

He moved out all the Big Three from DreamWorks.

Even if Ronan is determined, facing these three people, his heart will inevitably be beaten.

Seeing Ronan's expressionless face, Albert Hoffman's heart flashed with disdain, but his expression was serious: DreamWorks will not treat every friend badly...

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Ronan could understand it.

For other things, in the face of the ferocious DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment will definitely avoid the edge.

But overseas distribution channels are too important.

Dreamworks friendship?

Ronan can only express it with hehe.

Mr. Hoffman. Ronan quickly made a decision, first let the DreamWorks boss think that he gave up, which might be a little confusing, and said immediately: I also hope to get the friendship of DreamWorks, Spier Director Berg has been my idol since I was a child, and et Alien has grown up with me. Last time at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, I also chatted with Director Spielberg for a while. He is full of charisma. the elders.

The smile on the corner of Albert Hoffman's mouth grew stronger. This young man is not stupid. In today's Hollywood, apart from the six major companies, is there any company comparable to DreamWorks in terms of scale?

Ronan said with certainty: Relativity Entertainment will be a friend of DreamWorks.

Albert Hoffman nodded: Mr. Anderson, you made a smart choice. I will report today's events to Director Spielberg.

Ronan laughed: Thank you.

Albert Hoffman stood up: Come here, see you in Los Angeles.

Ronan shook hands with him, and after watching Albert Hoffman leave, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and he turned and walked towards the elevator. Robert, who was sitting nearby, quickly followed.

After entering the elevator, Robert asked in surprise, Are you really going to give up?

Ronan did not answer directly, but asked instead: Which one do you think is more important, the friendship between overseas distribution channels and DreamWorks?

Friendship is something illusory and unreliable. Robert said bluntly: Overseas distribution channels are the benefits we can feel and see.

Ronan said: I want distribution channels.

The two entered the room, and Ronan kept thinking about how to win the competition with DreamWorks.

Judging by Alan Albert's attitude, he seems to have a good impression of DreamWorks, after all, the scale of DreamWorks is there.

However, Danny - Donald does not seem to like that Albert - Hoffman.

Judging from what Albert Hoffman said, this person should be Spielberg's confidant.

In the previous life, DreamWorks never established an overseas distribution channel. There is no doubt about it, but Polygram was indeed acquired by Universal...

How did DreamWorks miss this opportunity? In Ronan's mind, Danny Donald's face suddenly appeared.

Alan Albert and Danny Donald can influence each other, but just relying on Danny Donald is far from enough, after all, the general environment of Western society is here.

Damn DreamWorks, why isn't it bankrupt now? Ronan cursed.

The gap in the company's hard power is too great.

Robert, if you were Alan Albert or Danny Donald. Ronan asked, Which one would you choose?

Robert thought for a while and said, DreamWorks.

Ronan sighed and called Chris to ask him to find out what the two of them thought.

Not long after, Chris called back. Alan Albert hadn't made a decision yet, but he asked Chris several times about the situation of DreamWorks.

Ronan put down the phone, found the pile of documents prepared in advance, flipped through them while thinking, read the documents of those two people, and looked at the situation of Albert Hoffman after coming to London provided by the public face Keen... …

Relying on any one aspect alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete against DreamWorks. Is it going to be a risky move?

Ronan looked up and asked Robert again: In normal competition, can we possibly beat DreamWorks?

Robert showed a wry smile, afraid of affecting Ronan's judgment, and said truthfully: It is possible, but the probability is very small.

Hearing this, Ronan stood up and walked a few steps, finally making up his mind.

I have a plan, but I don't know if it will be successful. Ronan said slowly, If we do nothing, the chances of losing to DreamWorks are very high. More than 90% of the chances of losing the establishment of overseas distribution channels, but if it is successful, at least it can compete with DreamWorks on an equal footing.

Since the first trip to Abu Dhabi, Robert has trusted Ronan very much, saying: Let's do it!

Ronan said seriously: I'll talk to Chris first and ask him to contact Sony Columbia. It's best to encourage Columbia Pictures to drive the six major companies to jointly put pressure on DreamWorks. Sony Entertainment will let Chris come with us. Coming to London, the attitude is very obvious, and I want DreamWorks to stop paying more attention to London for the time being.

Robert nodded: The Big Six companies don't want to see the rise of DreamWorks threaten their status.

Ronan continued: I called Tom Cruise personally. He is a friend of Alan Albert, and asked him to persuade Alan Albert from the side. Then there is Danny Donald...

I'll go? Robert volunteered.

Ronan shook his head: No, I'll go. He looked at Robert: You have more important things to do, you go to Keen...

After listening to Ronan's words carefully, Robert was a little surprised and said, Isn't that good?

Can we win without unconventional means? Ronan asked.

Robert was silent, the gap with Dreamworks was too great.

Ronan said again: A character like Keen who is at the junction of black and white must have a way. You can discuss the price with him, but you must keep your mouth shut and remember not to go to his place.

I understand. Robert immediately went to Keane.

Ronan called Chris and gave a general account of the meeting with those two people before, and said with a little exaggeration that DreamWorks is about to get overseas distribution channels. Before he can say more, Chris Contacted Sony Columbia Pictures.

Today, the president of Sony Columbia Pictures is Gustafson, whom Chris served as an assistant.

At noon that day, Chris rushed back to Los Angeles to report the situation to Gustafson.

Ronan also got in touch with Tom Cruise.
