The Best Entertainment Era

With the copyright of the script in hand, Juno, a low-to-medium investment project, was included in the preparatory plan for next year by Shahai Entertainment. Several screenwriters, including Diablo Coty, began to make appropriate adjustments to the script. Modifications and adjustments.

Ronan also asked people to check that Ellen Page has now taken over the role of Phantom Cat in 20th Century Fox's X-Men 3: The Last Stand.

At the same time as Ellen Page was found, the Hard Candy also appeared.

However, the distribution rights of the film have been sold to Traction Media Pictures by the producer in one lump sum.

It was the first time Ronan heard of this company, the lowest-level small distribution company in the industry.

Now that the copyright was sold, Ronan also gave up.

Good news came from Robert Lee, and the copyright of House of Cards has taken shape.

Due to the vague information given by Ronan, Robert Lee's legal and copyright departments searched overseas and sent more than a dozen books about the country's high-level political ecology to Ronan.

Among them, there is a political book published in the 1980s called House of Cards.

Ronan simply flipped through this book, and found that it was quite different from the content of the TV series in his memory, but he could faintly see similar shadows.

This is the United Kingdom, and the influence and spread are not too great. Most of the political themes, especially the types that reflect the political ecology of a certain country, are difficult to go out of the country.

The age is too long, and the spread is not enough, so Ronan can't be found in North America.

The British political ecology described in House of Cards has a certain degree of authenticity, because the original author Michael Dobbs once served as the special adviser to No. 10 Downing Street and Mrs. in the position of chairman.

Like most political figures, Michael Dobbs started publishing books after he retired, and then he had this House of Cards.

Robert Lee has already made initial contact with Michael Dobbs. What is more troublesome is that Michael Dobbs sold the copyright of the film and television adaptation as early as 1990.

At present, the copyright of the adaptation is in the hands of the BBC, and the BBC also adapted a TV series back then, but that British TV series has been silent in the long history of film and television.

want to buy the rights from the BBC,

It is much more difficult.

Robert Lee has personally rushed to London to start negotiations with the BBC. It would be best to get the copyright. If not, Ronan will not force it anymore.

Now that the copyright owner has been found and the content is understood, it is really impossible to create a script for the content to be avoided.

But this is second hand preparation.

After all, for many movies or series, the main line reference of the original work is lost, and the content often collapses.

In the American TV drama market, there are now influential political dramas, such as The West Wing on Warner Bros. TV, which also won the Emmy Award for Best TV Series.

Of course, completely different from the romanticism of The West Wing, House of Cards is a whole other genre.

This political drama is cold and depressing, and it is completely in the style of critical realism.

In fact, looking at it from another angle, this can also be regarded as the White House version of Zhen Huan.

More double-faced swords, treachery, secret crossings, and vertical and horizontal alliances are happening at any time. The tense political lobbying scenes can also satisfy the audience's psychological curiosity that politics is dirty.

At the same time, another good news came to Ronan from England.

In the first round of the new Premier League season, in a focus battle, Manchester United beat Chelsea by one goal away.

Will and I watched the game live.

In the villa of the Future World Manor, Tom Cruise took a cocktail from the bar, took a sip, gave Will Smith a thumbs up while mixing, and continued: We have been pressing the cocktail for the whole game. Chelsea bombed, Chelsea defended so well, Manchester United kept winning and not scoring.

Ronan also took a sip of the cocktail, which was sweet and sour: Defense is the special skill of Chelsea's new coach.

Will Smith continued: Chelsea's counterattack is very sharp, fortunately we have a good goalkeeper.

Tom Cruise asked curiously: I heard that Peter Cech you insisted on buying? He has a good vision.

Will Smith also praised: Only 8 million pounds, great value.

Ronan smiled and said, The goalkeeper is already cheap.

Tom Cruise drank the remaining cocktail in one gulp, echoed: It's true, defensive players have always been cheaper than offensive players.

Although I didn't watch the live broadcast, but according to Tom Cruise and Will Smith's description, Petr Cech's performance is very good. It seems that Manchester United's most worrying goalkeeper in recent seasons will become an advantage in the future.

If someone dared to kick the head of the Manchester United goalkeeper, let alone what would happen to Ronan and Manchester United, Ferguson alone would be enough for the opponent.

It has to be said that the influence of the club, the deterrence of the head coach, etc. are all important components of the team's strength.

Professional football has long since ceased to be a sport of competition on the pitch alone.

To be precise, with the professionalization and commercialization of various sports, they are increasingly affected by off-site factors.

Among other things, doping can only be described as flooding in professional sports, especially in track and field and swimming pools.

For example, if the American track and field team and swimming team are all suspended, it is estimated that few of them are wronged.

This is a common phenomenon all over the world.

Tom Cruise said: The few new players who bought played well. That Robben breakthrough was very sharp, and Alonso's scoring was also of a good standard. In the second half of the second half, it was Alonso's long pass that found the goal. Drogba came on as a substitute, Drogba headed the ball and it was Rooney who volleyed the goal from 30 yards out.

Will Smith is also learning about football recently: This goal is so beautiful that even a layman like me can't help applauding.

Ronan nodded: That Rooney is indeed very good.

How to say that sentence, a family with Lu Xiaopang is blessed and healthy.

Will Smith said at this time: It's just that Ronaldo on the left is a bit bad, he only knows how to dribble the ball with his head.

Tom Cruise agrees: Hooli is flashy and lacks team awareness. It's better to sell it next year.

Will Smith mixed cocktails, poured a glass for each of the three, dragged a stool, and sat in front of the bar: Manchester United's signings in the past few years have not been outstanding.

Ronan took a sip of the cocktail lightly, with a hint of sourness in the spiciness, and looked at Will Smith: This wine is a bit strong.

Will Smith said with a smile: I just learned, maybe the modulation is not very good.

Ronan put down his glass and continued the topic just now: Who do you think Rooney or that Ronaldo has a higher ceiling for the future?

Rooney!

Rooney.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith have exactly the same point of view.

In fact, judging from the current situation, Rooney's talent and performance seem to be higher than Cristiano Ronaldo, and fans and the media are generally more optimistic about Rooney.

Even after Rooney's first official game at Manchester United, the British media couldn't wait to call Rooney the future leader of Manchester United, another Cantona after Keane.

Ronan did not refute, but instead said: I heard Ferguson mention one thing. Cristiano Ronaldo used the salary he got in his first season at Manchester United to hire a personal fitness trainer and a nutritionist at a high salary.

He smiled: Perhaps, this Portuguese will change and maybe bring us more surprises.

Now that Manchester United is in the hands of Ronan, they will naturally not sell their star players because of high transfer fees, but the attraction of the two Western Super League teams to Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking players cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, today's Manchester United will no longer be Manchester United in the hands of the Glazer family.

The three chatted about football for a while, and then the topic turned back to Hollywood and movies.

The War of the Worlds you starred in has been filmed for so long. Ronan asked curiously, When will it be released?

Tom Cruise is also a little helpless: It will not be until next year at the earliest. Spielberg is waiting for DreamWorks to truly integrate the distribution channels, and then release War of the Worlds independently.

Will Smith interjected: DreamWorks also has global distribution capabilities, and the competition in Hollywood will be more intense in the future.

Tom Cruise asked with concern: Ronan, I heard that you and 20th Century Fox have not been very happy recently?

Before Ronan answered, Will Smith said: He bought Marvel, and in the Fantastic Four comics published by the newly reorganized Marvel Entertainment, the Fantastic Four not only blackened New York, but also did a lot of disgusting things. People's affairs, such as Invisible Girl, the latest issue is derailed, and the object of derailment is still a stone man.

Tom Cruise stroked his chin and said, The screenwriters of Marvel have big brains. It seems that the stone man can't return to a normal human form, right? The invisible girl and the stone man are together, why...

Ronan shrugged: Who knows, maybe the Invisible Woman likes this tune.

Will Smith's mind was wide open: You said that Human Torch is in flame form, what will happen with the woman?

That's a good idea. Ronan patted the bar: Will, I'll let Marvel's screenwriter contact you later, and become the villain's Human Torch, which is strong in the flame state. I guess this will cause even greater indignation .”

Tom Cruise was instantly speechless to these two unreliable guys.

The Fantastic Four are really going to die as villains? asked Tom Cruise. Being the victim of a dispute?

Ronan said slowly but firmly: Twentieth Century Fox refuses to back down. No matter what new plots and new characters are in the Fantastic Four comics published by Marvel, Twentieth Century Fox will automatically obtain the adaptation copyright, and there is no need to give Marvel any more. Pay a dollar, and in that case, let them die.
