The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 536: Ronan's Condition

Unlike Ronan, Tom Hanks accompanied his wife Rita Wilson to watch the stage play of Mamma Mia carefully, and he knew the plot and characters very well. At the age of eighteen, I immediately guessed that she was going to play the role of Sophie.

As a good man in Hollywood, Tom Hanks did not give up easily, and tentatively made a suggestion: Ronan, the investment in singing and dancing movies is not low, and Prattone Pictures can share the investment and income with Shahai Entertainment. Risk, having my wife Rita Wilson as producer and your friend as lead actress is not in conflict.

Tom Hanks is very polite, it is hard to make people feel disgusted, even if he is not interested in his suggestion, Ronan still said very politely: Thank you. But Tom, with such a work, Sandsea Entertainment has the ability to be independent. Finish.

Hearing what Ronan said, Tom Hanks frowned indistinctly, and finally said directly: Ronan, what request do you have, we can discuss it.

From the perspective of a producer and a movie fan, Ronan likes and even admires Tom Hanks very much, but from the perspective of a businessman, business is business, and the feelings of movie fans must not be mixed.

Since Tom Hanks said so, there is no need to be polite, Ronan said slowly: Cooperation is mutual, and it is about win-win.

Tom Hanks nodded slowly: That's right.

Ronan smiled: Let's put it this way, Tom. I am very optimistic about the commercial prospects of Mamma Mia. This is very likely to be another musical Chicago, and even more successful than Chicago.

This is of course infinitely inflating the commercial value of Mamma Mia: Now, you propose that Prattone and Shahai Entertainment cooperate to participate in the investment of Mamma Mia, which is tantamount to sharing the future benefits of the project.

Tom Hanks' simple and honest smile has been put away: A film, before it is shot and produced, no one can guarantee its success.

Ronan said: But this project is working in my hands, and the chances of success far outweigh failures.

If someone else said this, Tom Hanks would spit on his face, and he can brag casually without paying taxes?

But the person opposite is called Ronan Anderson. In the past four or five years, he is the producer with the highest success rate in Hollywood. He can be compared with Jerry Bruckheimer. Even the success of Pirates of the Caribbean not only created the miracle of pirate movies , has also become a gold medal producer recognized in the circle.

Can such a person not think carefully when he speaks such confident words?

Tom Hanks no longer plays the emotional card, he can see that Ronan Anderson is a pure film businessman at the moment, not a producer.

Win-win? Tom Hanks asked. How do you want to achieve a win-win?

Luo Nantu said poorly: Some time ago, I also took a fancy to a project, but unfortunately I made it a little late.

Tom Hanks immediately understood what he was talking about: Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code?

Since Ms. Rita-Wilson likes Mamma Mia very much, I don't have to win people's love. Ronan said unhurriedly: How about this? One deal, we exchange the copyrights of Mamma Mia and The Da Vinci Code with each other, the best of both worlds!

Tom Hanks looked at Ronan and finally understood why he was able to achieve such success at such a young age. It was only part of the reason why he chose a film project with a unique vision. The key is to seek profit for himself anytime, anywhere!

Greedy, black-hearted, clear-headed and capable, is it unexpected that such a person succeeds? No surprise at all!

Swapping Mamma Mia for The Da Vinci Code may not be much different at first glance, but recently, the promotion of The Da Vinci Code has been vigorously promoted, and the sales of the novel have increased sharply. According to many books According to the analysis of market professionals, this novel has the strength to top the bestseller list!

Tom Hanks couldn't care less about acting like a good man,

He said directly: I am not the only one who has the final say on Preton Pictures, and the second transfer of the copyright of The Da Vinci Code, I cannot explain to the original author Dan Brown.

Ronan shook his head slightly: Cooperation is about win-win.

Your request is too much. Tom Hanks finally became a little unhappy: Ronan, we are all people who have worked hard in Hollywood for many years. If the request and suggestion exceed what we can bear, it is better not to say it.

Ronan took a step back: Sandhai Entertainment and Prattone Pictures collaborated on the two projects Mamma Mia and The Da Vinci Code, and each took half of the investment income. The copyright of Mamma Mia belongs to Shahai It is owned by Entertainment, and Shahai Entertainment is responsible for the filming and production. If Ms. Wilson likes it, she can participate in the production. Similarly, the copyright of The Da Vinci Code belongs to Pratone Pictures, and Pratone Pictures is responsible for the filming and production.

This condition sounds okay, Tom Hanks is not as repulsive as before, at least it can make people feel the sincerity of cooperation.

Moreover, Preton Pictures is not Sandsea Entertainment, and its own strength is limited. It can only be regarded as a small production company in Hollywood. The introduction of Sandsea Entertainment, a partner, can also effectively solve part of the financial pressure.

In many cases, when cooperation is normally proposed, the other party dismisses it. Instead, a different environment may lead to the possibility of cooperation.

Tom Hanks will need to think carefully, as well as discuss with his partners at Prattone Pictures.

But Ronan's condition didn't end there: One more thing, both Mamma Mia and The Da Vinci Code must be distributed in North America and overseas by Embassy Pictures, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment.

Only then did Tom Hanks realize that Relativity Entertainment can not only shoot and produce films, but also has extremely strong global distribution capabilities.

Ronan added: Embassy Films has successfully distributed more than 20 films, and its distribution ability is beyond doubt.

But Tom Hanks quickly calculated in his mind. Judging from the commercial revenue capabilities of films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Bourne Bourne, whether it is distributed by the Embassy Pictures or handed over to the six major companies, the difference is actually not the same. big.

Pratone Pictures has no ability to distribute this piece.

Not to mention overseas, even North American distribution is not possible.

But if it is released by Embassy Pictures, why does it feel like Preton Pictures bought the film copyright from Dan Brown with great effort, and worked hard to prepare and shoot the film, but the bulk of the income was all lost to Ronan Anderson's Theory of Relativity What about the entertainment?

Tom Hanks can indeed be classified as a good old man in the circle of Hollywood, but good old man does not mean not to fight for fame and fortune, otherwise there would be no Tom Hanks today S stand here.

This contrast made Tom Hanks a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it carefully, if the film is distributed by the six major Hollywood companies, the distribution fee should not be less than one cent.

Relativity Entertainment always pays attention to win-win cooperation with people. Ronan said calmly: Tom, you can think about it.

The copyright of Mamma Mia is in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, and the copyright of The Da Vinci Code is completely controlled by Preton Pictures. Even if the two parties fail to reach a cooperation agreement, Relativity Entertainment actually has no loss.

Ronan is trying to get as much profit as possible.

Tom Hanks couldn't make a decision for a while, and he wouldn't procrastinate here. He just thought for a while and said: Ronan, I need to call a partner to discuss. If we decide to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, I will give You call.

Ronan smiled: Yes.

Tom Hanks shook his hand, then left.

Ronan looked around, and soon found a circle of wealthy British people, and joined it. With William as an introducer, he successfully entered the upper class of the UK.

He also met several horse racing tycoons, and exchanged contact information with them under William's introduction.

One day after the dinner, Ronan called Judy Kramer specifically, and first visited the script creator Katherine Johnson, who was also the screenwriter with amazing talent and emotion in Judy Kramer's mouth.

After confirming that this is indeed a talented screenwriter, Ronan invited her to Los Angeles next year to actually participate in the film adaptation of Mamma Mia.

Katherine Johnson, similar to Judy Kramer, has no real qualifications in film and television. Katherine Johnson has not signed any film's screenwriter so far.

Such a screenwriter can join the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment in the future. After all, there will be more and more female film projects initiated by Relativity Entertainment in the future. Some purely female themes have inherent advantages to be written by female screenwriters. It is impossible for Ronan to write all the films. The female-themed scripts are all on Lindsay Beal alone.

And in some ways, proper competition can stimulate creative vitality.

Later, Ronan wanted to visit the famous female director Phyllida Lloyd that Judy Kramer specifically mentioned.

Judy Kramer hasn't contacted Phyllida Lloyd for several years, and she doesn't know her recent situation. When she got in touch, she found out that Phyllida Lloyd is already Mamma Mia director.

Phyllida Lloyd left London as early as last year and went to Broadway in New York to direct the re-arranged Broadway version of Mamma Mia.

This is a surprise, but it is also good news.

Just as many Hollywood directors were born as commercial and MV directors, quite a few directors were also born as stage play directors.

Ronan and Judy Kramer rushed to New York to watch a performance of Mamma Mia directed by Phyllida Lloyd on Broadway.

Afterwards, Ronan had another two interviews with Phyllida Lloyd, and then returned to Los Angeles, handing over the project to Sandsea Entertainment, and asked the people from Sandsea Entertainment to discuss specific director matters with Phyllida Lloyd .
