The Best Entertainment Era

Opportunities and abilities are crucial to success. Returning to 1998 gave Ronan a chance, and Ronan is also improving his abilities in various ways.

But there is another point, which is also very important for those who start a business-thick face and black heart.

Therefore, even if there is a one percent chance, he will fight for it.

As for the possible setbacks, Ronan doesn't care at all, there is no way to start a business without encountering setbacks.

Ronan very calmly walked into the DreamWorks founded by the three famous Jews in Hollywood and even in the United States, David Geffen, Jeff Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, and the distribution department of DreamWorks Talk about the release of Human Purge.

Is there something wrong with the plot of this movie?

In the reception room, a man with deep hair and a big nose looked at the information Ronan brought, and said directly: The ending is not good, I won't be popular.

Ronan glanced at this person, and he couldn't see anything unusual from his appearance, nor could he see the ethnicity of the other party, so he could only say: The ending echoes the beginning.

Deep hair and big nose shook his head directly: If the film is made with such a plot, DreamWorks will not release it.

Ronan roughly guessed the reason, after all, only a fool would say something naked.

He ran to nearly 20 distribution companies and encountered all kinds of messy situations. He didn't take this issue to heart, and asked tentatively: When the filming and production are completed and you have watched the finished film, we Let's talk again?

If you don't change it. Shen Fa's big nose lacked interest: There is no need to talk about it.

Speaking of this, Ronan no longer insisted. After saying goodbye politely, he left the reception room and prepared to leave DreamWorks.

Ronan took the elevator down to the first floor. As soon as the elevator opened, he saw three people coming out of another special elevator on the opposite side. Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg accompanied an old man.

Who is this old man? To send Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg downstairs?

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, few people can be treated like this.

Ronan kept his composure, and just followed behind when he got out of the elevator. Since the distance was not too far, he could roughly hear the people in front talking.

Stephen, I've read your novel, it's very exciting.

Judging from the voice, the person who said this should be Tom Hanks. People who are familiar with his movies are very easy to identify: This novel has too much content. I think it is difficult to show it in a movie. A TV series is a good choice.

Stephen Spielberg's voice came over: Mr. Ambrose, I agree with Tom, you should think about it again.

The old man said slowly: You are professionals, I will listen to you.

Spielberg said with a smile: You are the expert on the European battlefield of World War II. Without your guidance, we would not be able to reproduce that cruel war in Saving Private Ryan.

The old man stopped suddenly and said, Since I interviewed Leicester, E Company is a special existence in my heart.

E Company? Ronan raised an eyebrow.

The old man stopped, Tom Hanks and Spielberg also stopped. There were many people in the front hall on the first floor. It was impossible for Ronan to stop and listen to what they had to say, so he had to walk past.

There were words coming from behind, it was the voice of Tom Hanks: From the day I received the book you presented as a gift, I am determined to let the audience see E Company!

Then came Spielberg's words: Mr. Ambrose, it may take a few years. What Tom and I want to shoot is a magnificent war epic, which requires a lot of preparation work. DreamWorks is just on the right track and needs to find Partners, I also need time to raise funds.”

It's okay. The old man's words could hardly be heard: I'll wait patiently...

Ronan walked farther and farther away, and soon he couldn't hear the conversation between the three. Before leaving the office building, he looked back again,

Stephen? Ambrose?

This old man's name is Stephen Ambrose?

Ronan walked and thought, where did he hear the name Stephen Ambrose?

Recall the words of Tom Hanks and Spielberg: Fiction? TV drama? World War II? European battlefield? War epic? And E Company?

Ronan stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the office building, and instantly thought of a name - Band of Brothers.

Could this be the original author of Band of Brothers?

Not wrong, I have a vague impression that the original author of Band of Brothers served as a special consultant for Saving Private Ryan, and then this book entered Tom Hanks' vision and was recommended by Tom Hanks To Spielberg.

Saving Private Ryan is about to be released, and Tom Hanks and Spielberg are deliberately promoting the Band of Brothers project.

When Band of Brothers came out, it caused a sensation and had a far-reaching impact. Just selling discs made the copyright owner a lot of money.

such a pity……

Ronan turned his head back and continued to walk forward. It was a bit uncomfortable to see a blockbuster in front of him, but he could only look at it.

Can you find a chance to get involved?

This mini-series cost a lot of money. If war movies want to be effective, they have to spend crazy money. I remember that this is a collaboration between DreamWorks and HBO. According to the situation in Hollywood, there must be investors he doesn’t remember, sharing the risk On the other hand, Hollywood's medium and large companies are playing very smoothly.

Ronan got into the car, but didn't start it, and continued to think about it.

Such a TV series can instantly make the broadcasting platform popular. Once HBO became famous because of this, the number of users skyrocketed.

What will happen if you switch to an online platform?

No, in this day and age, even on the Internet in North America, the conditions for playing high-definition videos are average.

Exclusive Internet rentals on DVD or VHS?

Ronan laughed dumbfounded, was he thinking a little too far? He glanced at the DreamWorks headquarters through the rearview mirror. According to Hollywood's usual pattern, it will take three or four years at the earliest for this miniseries to come out.

In fact, the biggest problem is money. He has no money and can only sit on the sidelines for the time being. DreamWorks itself is short of funds, so it has to ask other companies to share the investment and risks.

Taking out the notebook he carried with him, Ronan wrote down the name of Band of Brothers on it.

Go back and look specifically at the situation of Stephen Ambrose and his Band of Brothers to see if you can find an opportunity, and if not, there is no way.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money. If the funds are not enough, many projects will not even be eligible for entry.

Thinking of this, he scratched his head for a while.

Ronan drove away from DreamWorks and rushed to his next target, Lionsgate Films. He quickly stabilized his mentality. The road has to be taken step by step. If you take too big a step, you will definitely fall into trouble.

When he came to Lionsgate, he was greeted by Gray Enrique, the head of the distribution department of Lionsgate.

After reading the information Ronan brought, Gray Enrique asked curiously: Mr. Anderson, can I ask a question?

Ronan smiled: Just ask.

Gray-Enrique immediately asked: As far as I know, Shahai Films has always shot B-level movies. Why did you choose a horror movie this time?

Without even thinking about it, Ronan said: Since the failure of the last film, I have carefully studied the successful Hollywood films in the past ten years, and found an interesting phenomenon. Among the films with the highest ratio of cost to return, horror films accounted for an absolute majority.

Indeed. Greg Enrique nodded slightly.

These successful horror films have another feature. Ronan's words are all targeted: The cost is relatively low, and the investment in publicity and distribution is relatively low.

Greg Enrique looked down at the script in his hand.

Ronan continued to say in a targeted manner: Horror movies generally have a low reputation, but movies that really win the favor of horror movie fans will quickly spread among horror movie audiences. Small groups are also conducive to formulating targeted publicity campaigns. develop strategies to control spending.”

Gray-Enrique laughed: Mr. Anderson is an expert in this field.

It's not an expert. Ronan waved his hand: I just studied a lot of cases.

He remembered very clearly that Lionsgate Films started out relying on horror films in the early days. Compared with other companies, perhaps Lionsgate Films will appreciate Human Purge more by then?

Greg Enrique said politely: The distribution department of Lionsgate was only established last year, and we also hope to release high-quality films. He glanced at Ronan and said, I hope to see Human Being as soon as possible. The finished film of The Purge.

Ronan smiled and said, No problem.

Compared with the simple and rude treatment of DreamWorks, the new company Lionsgate Pictures is much more polite.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Ronan took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

After visiting so many distribution companies, even Lionsgate, which has the best attitude, none of them would agree to cooperate before seeing the finished film.

But most companies are willing to examine the film.
