The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 178 Reuse of waste resources

It's roughly like this. Ronan explained the general idea of ​​Fatal Turn. Lawyer Dinah Upton has registered the copyright with the Copyright Office: This is a typical American horror film. The investment is about At around $10 million, you need a director with experience and control.

Tom Cruise thought for a moment, then said, I know some horror directors, like Wes Craven.

Ronan smiled and said, Wes Craven's salary is too high, is there anyone with a lower salary?

This horror film director, of course Ronan knows, his representative works include A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, and there seem to be some powerful horror films behind.

It seems that there are also types of perverted killers encountered on the road similar to Fatal Turn.

A lower salary? Tom Cruise thought about it again, and said, By the way, my agency, CAA, signed a Mexican director a while ago, named Guillermo del Toro, a Mexican director. People, I used to shoot movies in Mexico, specializing in horror movies, it seems that I made a horror movie called Mutant DNA in Hollywood before, and it wasn't very successful.

Ronan thought for a while and said, I've heard of this Mexican.

Tom Cruise said directly: I will go back and say hello to his agent and ask them to find you. You'd better investigate a small director first, it may not be suitable.

Ronan nodded: I see.

Although Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Alessandra Inarritu were known as the three Mexican masters in the director world in the previous life, the current director of the spinning top is still a small person, and many people involved in it. The few more works are also horror movies similar to B-level movies.

Ronan remembered that Guillermo del Toro was a director who started out shooting horror films, and he was a typical weirdo.

A gyro director might not necessarily not be an option, if the right fit.

The two left Warner Studios, and Tom Cruise invited Ronan to have lunch together. Ronan did not refuse, and followed Tom Cruise to a Michelin three-star restaurant in Beverly Hills.

There is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and their respective careers are developing rapidly. Ronan has paid sincerity when he asked Tom Cruise to help several times, and the relationship between them can be said to be quite good.

A star needs a producer, and a producer needs a star, and Ronan and Tom Cruise also plan to continue to make friends.

I heard that you successfully raised funds in India? Tom Cruise asked, Is it easy to find investment in India?

Ronan doesn't need to cheat Tom Cruise,

Said: It's not easy. Indians are very smart. They have Bollywood, and they are familiar with the film operation mode. After I signed a contract with the Indians, the Indians not only left a supervisor in the crew, but also hired Puhua. Yongdao acts as a third-party financial supervisor.”

Tom Cruise frowned: It's very troublesome. It is enough for most overseas investors to have a third-party guarantee.

Ronan said: There are too many Indians working in the United States, and Indians know more about America than we think.

Tom Cruise tilted his head and thought, and said, I also want to finance and shoot a few projects. I thought Indians were a good choice. Listening to you, it seems inappropriate.

You also want to raise money? Ronan thought of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which is impossible to cooperate with, and it seems that it can be used again and sold to Tom Cruise as a favor: The UAE is a good choice, especially Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

He simply said: The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has sufficient funds. Tom, if you are interested, I can give you their contact information, and you can ask someone to try to contact them.

Tom Cruise, who had apparently heard about Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, said, Okay, thanks, Ronan.

Ronan reminded: The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has great ambitions. If you can really reach a cooperation with them, pay more attention.

He found out Samir's contact information and sent it to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise thanked him again.

The discarded resources in Ronan's hands have been reused again.

Perhaps because Ronan is really a good person, the conversation between Tom Cruise and Ronan deepened, and they even talked about some things when they were young.

I was dyslexic at that time. Tom Cruise said bluntly: Don't talk about reading scripts, even the most basic reading of newspapers was a problem. I made a lot of efforts, but there was no improvement. Until I joined Scientology, Probably because I am devout enough, my dyslexia was soon cured.”

Ronan just listened, surely he wouldn't be so stupid as to say that Scientology is a cult, and insulting his belief in front of a believer, isn't he asking for trouble?

Tom Cruise is still saying: I think Scientology has changed my life. It is because of Scientology that I am now.

Ronan said at the right time: I heard that you have also done a lot of things to repay Scientology.

It's the little things, Tom Cruise said with a laugh.

Suddenly, Ronan noticed that some people's eyes frequently fell to this side, seeming to pay special attention to Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise also saw it.

I've been a hot topic in the news recently. Tom Cruise laughed at himself.

Ronan knew what he was talking about, and asked tentatively, Are you irreparable?

Tom Cruise nodded unobtrusively: She has left Beverly Hills and moved to Malibu. He shook his head again: In her eyes, I am now the enemy.

Ronan was silent. This celebrity couple now occupies most of the gossip media traffic.

Tom Cruise said: Is there no love in the past at all? She doesn't care at all? In her eyes, am I an egomaniac and a narcissist? Or a penny-pinching miser?

Having said that, Tom Cruise picked up his wine glass and drank the red wine inside in one gulp.

Clearly, the separation and imminent divorce has caused Tom Cruise a lot of trouble.

Tom, you are not the kind of person she said. Ronan said seriously: Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I can feel that you are completely different from what she said.

Thank you. Tom Cruise squeezed out a smile.

Ronan said: Don't be so polite, we are friends.

Tom Cruise sighed: Some words, some things, I don't know who to tell, and no one will listen, she played too well, a wronged and abandoned wife, huh... ...

Ronan is actually very clear that Tom Cruise is not as exaggerated as Nicole Kidman said, but he is not as innocent as he himself said.

Irreparable? Ronan asked again.

Tom Cruise was extraordinarily certain: It's irreversible.

It was another tragedy of when love is gone, Ronan sighed inwardly, and said, Can I express my opinion?

This kind of private topic can effectively shorten the distance between the two parties, changing from a business friend to a personal friend.

Go ahead. Tom Cruise didn't care.

Ronan said: I don't have any experience in this area, but I think the longer this kind of thing drags on, the more it will hurt both parties, especially for the man...

Tom Cruise looked at Ronan: Go on.

Ronan also said: With the current social situation, the woman is naturally in a weak position. As long as she cries in front of the media more, it will be very unfavorable to the man, and no matter what the man says, it is very easy for the media and the public to misunderstand, and there may even be rumors. Everything is wrong.

Tom Cruise said directly: You are right, in fact, this is the situation I am facing now.

Ronan said calmly: In my opinion, the sooner it ends, the faster people can get out of this vortex. Tom, if it drags on for too long, it will have a great impact on your reputation.

If the other side is just an ordinary producer, Tom Cruise won't even listen to him when he tells him these things, but no one can ignore his opinion as a promising producer and film company boss.

Even, this person may be worth more than 100 million in just two years.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to say that he does not understand the entertainment industry and cannot see through these things in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise said seriously: Thank you for your suggestion, and I plan to deal with it as soon as possible. He finally showed a trace of disgust: I never want to have contact with that woman again! She better stop contacting me!

Ronan didn't say anything more, but he knew that it was impossible. The name of Tom Cruise's ex-wife could be used at any time in his life.

American public movie fans don't like Nicole Kidman at all, and it can even be said to be a little annoying. Strictly speaking, Nicole Kidman is a typical junior high position, which will affect many people's senses.

But the three years after divorcing Tom Cruise were Nicole Kidman's most glorious three years. Many people said that Nicole Kidman, who left Tom Cruise, really shined.

However, those who have paid a little attention to the relevant news during this period can easily find that Nicole Kidman made full use of the divorce case and Tom Cruise's powerful status as a Hollywood superstar to portray himself as the victim and the victim. The weak side has won countless sympathies.

Sympathy always lasts. Once the sympathy points are gone, the North American audience will return to the previous state of Nicole Kidman.

In addition, Nicole Kidman's success is not only due to these, but also because she is close to Harvey Weinstein, and Miramax's The Hours helped her win the Oscar queen.

As for whether there are other insider transactions, perhaps Judi Dench and Meryl Streep may know.

In Ronan's opinion, it's impossible for someone like Harvey Weinstein to let go of the meat that's brought to his mouth.

After lunch, Ronan said goodbye to Tom Cruise and went to Embassy Films. He first talked to Alan Albert to learn about the development of several film release plans, and then called Robert Lee. Called and asked about the progress of overseas distribution channels.
