The Best Entertainment Era

Hollywood Studios, distribution reception room.

A bald middle-aged man with glasses put down the materials in his hand, put them away, and said with a smile: Mr. Anderson, your shooting plan for this project is very thorough, and the scene design is also very exquisite.

Your recognition is a great honor. Ronan answered at the right time.

He waited patiently for the following words, the deputy director of the publishing department must have a turning point.

Sure enough, the balding middle-aged man said again: But your movie hasn't been finished yet, right?

Yes. Ronan said honestly, The filming is about a third of the way through.

The balding middle-aged man suddenly asked: Is there really 11 million US dollars invested in this project?

Ronan smiled: To be honest, this is for publicity purposes. The real investment of the film is around 3 million US dollars.

The other party is a real expert in the industry, and the so-called 11 million budget can't be hidden at all, but on the basis of the truth, a little more information can be added appropriately.

A small-budget horror film worth $3 million... The balding middle-aged man flipped through the script again: The scale of investment in the production is not small.

Looking at the entire North American film industry, a movie with an investment of three million dollars is definitely not a small project.

Ronan took out the only influential member of the cast: The director of the film, James Wong, has directed X-Files.

The balding middle-aged man nodded slightly: I seem to have heard about him from the production department of the Fox TV series. He put down the script and said, Well, Mr. Anderson, we will talk about it in detail when your film is finished. how?

Yes. Ronan has achieved his goal: When the film is finished, I will send a copy as soon as possible. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate.

The balding middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Ronan to say goodbye: As long as the film is good enough, distribution is not a problem.

The preconditions are very clear.

Ronan shook his hand firmly: This will be an excellent horror movie.

Mary followed Ronan, and kept silent. Seeing Ronan's expression and hearing what Ronan said, she couldn't help nodding secretly. After experiencing a setback, Ronan is really not the same Ronan as before.

When promoting The Last Jedi, she also accompanied Ronan to several distribution companies. At that time, Ronan was young and impulsive, always telling people how good his movies were, and how many interesting things he contained in them. The idea, the talent contained in it, will definitely impress the audience, and it will definitely be a box office hit.

When the distribution company expressed dissatisfaction with the film, they shouted that they would regret it if they missed this film!

Looking at Ronan now, it's like a different person. He is mature and stable, and he responds appropriately. The truth and falsehood in his words are really easy to win people's trust. Hearing falsehoods in the ears of a person who knows the truth, he will know Believe it somewhat.

This is what producers and business elites should be like.

More importantly, she has seen Ronan seize all his free time to study and enrich himself more than once, and the improvement in various aspects brought about by this can be experienced by everyone around him.

Ronan left a piece of information and got out of Hollywood Films. The purpose of this trip was basically achieved.

The film's cast lineup is unknown, and the scale of investment is limited. How can it be possible for the distribution company to directly sign the contract without seeing the film?

This is just paving the way for later.

After entering the parking lot, Ronan got into Mary's car. Mary started the car and asked, Where are we going?

Ronan pointed to the front: Go to New Line Cinema.

Mary glanced at Ronan and comforted, Don't be discouraged, you can always find a suitable publisher.

Ronan fastened his seat belt and said with a smile: Don't worry, it's okay, I can stand failure, and they're not refusing.

Mary turned her head and smiled at Ronan, stopped talking, and drove to New Line Films with full concentration.

Lean on the passenger seat,

Ronan opened up the information in his hand, and carefully reviewed the recent situation of New Line Films and the introductions of several persons in charge of the distribution department.

With the memory left by little Anderson, New Line Pictures is no stranger to him.

The publisher of the previous Jedi Survival was New Line Pictures.

Just like Hollywood Pictures is affiliated with Disney, New Line Films is not an independent film company, but a subsidiary acquired by Warner Bros. However, management such as Robert Shea still retains relatively independent management rights.

Strictly speaking, the Sony Film Distribution and Hollywood Pictures that have been there have actually not rejected Ronan, nor have they said that they want to release Human Purge Project. They have read various materials that Ronan brought over, basically The previous attitude, after the film is shot, we can talk about the quality of the film after seeing it on the spot.

Hollywood can make thousands of films every year, but only five or six hundred are released in theaters in the end. There are too many films that want to squeeze into the theaters, and distribution companies have no shortage of small productions that take the initiative to surrender.

Ronan declared that the Human Purge Project has a budget of 11 million US dollars. It is not a problem to fool outsiders, and it is not a problem to fool many people in the circle, but it is basically impossible to fool experts in professional companies.

These experts are not brick-and-mortar experts. Just look at the cast, script, scene settings, and shooting plans to roughly calculate the real investment of the film.

Materials not provided? There is not even a finished film, and people from the distribution company don't bother to talk about it.

The people who received Ronan were all executives from Sony Film Distribution and Hollywood Pictures. This was entirely due to the fact that the Human Purge Project had made some noise some time ago.

Ronan didn't expect to be able to find a distributor at once. The main purpose this time is to attract the attention of some distribution companies. After the film is actually filmed and produced, Shahai Entertainment will have a few more choices.

When he came to New Line Cinema, because he had made an appointment before, Ronan had a smooth meeting with a director of the distribution department of New Line Film.

Mr. Delong, we meet again. Ronan shook hands with a blond man in his thirties.

The release of the last Jedi Survival was also negotiated with Anderson Jr. and this person.

Deron frowned and looked at Ronan, and asked, You have something to do with me? Jedi Survival has copyright income, and you plan to pay New Line Pictures?

Ronan waved to Mary, took the document bag from Mary, handed it to Deron, and said, This is a new film I invested in, take a look.

Delong's face was a bit ugly, he opened the file bag and looked at it, and said while looking, You want to find New Line Pictures for distribution?

Yes. Ronan said bluntly: We have worked together once and understand each other.

Deron's face became even more ugly: Your The Last Jedi didn't bring in any profits.

Ronan smiled: As far as I know, your company has not incurred losses.

Most of the film's $800,000 box office revenue was collected by New Line Films, and later it received part of the peripheral copyright revenue from him.

The total investment of New Line Cinema is definitely not so much.

For the same movie, the production company was in such a mess that it almost vomited blood, but the distribution company was able to keep the cost.

This is all too common in Hollywood.

You've already messed up one. Deron simply flipped through the information and put it aside: I'll tell you the truth, Ronan. Unless you are willing to sign a 40% publishing share agreement , otherwise the possibility of the company redistributing your film is very small.”

The lion's mouth opened very wide, and it was almost out of the category of skyrocketing prices.

Ronan was not annoyed either, as it was of no use to business negotiations. He maintained a faint smile and said, Don't refuse in a hurry, okay? It's not too late to make a decision after watching the finished film. The director is James Wong, who directed The X-Files.

This is one of the reasons why it is necessary to find a director with some experience.

Delong pondered for a while, and said: Okay, wait for you to finish the film, bring it over and talk about it.

Ronan took the initiative to leave, stood up and shook hands with Delong: I hope we still have the opportunity to cooperate.

Deron's face was dark and he didn't speak.

In the next ten days, Ronan traveled all over the film distribution companies in Los Angeles, and even the six major companies left a piece of information.

As a person and company that has just set foot in theater movies, only by casting a wide net can it be possible to catch fish.

Even DreamWorks, which is completely controlled by Jewish forces, is going to try his luck.
