The Best Entertainment Era

That afternoon, the project materials of Gore Verbinski's new project Weather Forecaster were transferred from Shahai Entertainment to Ronan's office together with other delivery projects.

With the continuous success of Shahai Entertainment, there are successively unknown directors and actors who have achieved success in cooperating with Shahai Entertainment, and more people have begun to regard Shahai Entertainment as a choice for investment like the six major companies. .

Even, because of the rumors that Shahai Entertainment and Ronan valued newcomers, many directors and producers chose Shahai Entertainment as their first choice.

Every month, there are hundreds of scripts delivered to Shahai Entertainment, and there are at least dozens of directors and producers who come to seek investment with their projects.

Most of them are worthless, like scripts, although the elimination rate is not 100%, but it is still 99.9%.

The first thing Ronan read was Gore Verbinski's The Weatherman, first from the script, then from the project proposal, and a copy of the contract with Nicolas Cage that came with the project proposal.

In other people's hands, this actor contract and the director is Gore Verbinski, it will be very convincing, but on Ronan's side, the red light was directly turned on.

Ronan looked at the scripts submitted to Shahai Entertainment. As in the past, most of them were worthless.

Then there are some director and producer projects.

Real famous directors and well-known producers will not lack relevant investment channels, and generally rarely adopt this delivery method.

Therefore, it takes a lot of luck to encounter truly valuable films on these projects.

Because of his special experience, Ronan reviewed it very quickly, but when he reached the seventh copy, he saw a familiar name-Killer Code 47.

This is a female producer named Adrian Askalia, who submitted to Sandsea Entertainment's game adaptation film project.

Sandsea Entertainment has done a good job. In addition to the project, Adrian Askalia's resume and game-related introductions are also attached.

This so-called producer didn't have any previous production experience, not even an assistant producer. To be more precise, she didn't even have film experience.

In terms of games, Killer Code 47 was released in 2000. It is a game with the theme of depicting killers and killing methods. In the game, what players have to do is to find ways to kill the target without anyone noticing.

Ronan remembered that he had seen such a movie before, but he only knew that there was such a movie. The specific plot and content did not leave him the slightest impression.

Next, he saw the project proposal and focused on the budget.

The budget for such a game adaptation movie is quite amazing-$50 million!

Ronan didn't think about it any more, and turned on the red light directly.

What are you kidding, unless he's crazy for $50 million to shoot such a non-famous game.

This is 50 million U.S. dollars. If Brother Bao is allowed to make it, it will be enough to make ten game-adapted movies.

Thinking of Brother Bao, Ronan made a special note on the project, asking Connie to transfer the project to Uwe Ball,

If Uwe Ball is interested, he can talk to the female producer and buy the copyright of the game adaptation.

Of course, the price has to be right.

Ronan believes that this so-called game adaptation movie with a budget of 50 million U.S. dollars can be made by Uwe Ball with 5 million U.S. dollars.

Maybe there are more points to watch (slot).

When he was about to leave work, Robert Lee came back with a book in his hand.

Marvel Entertainment just sent it over. This is the comic book sample of Kingsman Agent. Robert Lee put the book on Ronan's desk: It will be published in October.

Ronan picked it up and flipped through it briefly, and said, Mark Miller and Marvel are very fast.

In order to obtain the relevant film and television adaptation copyright of Mark Miller's Kicksman comics, Ronan agreed to authorize the comic adaptation copyright of the movie Kingsman to Mark Miller, but Mark Miller has no copyright, and the comics must Published by Marvel Entertainment.

Related matters have already been discussed, and the film and television adaptation copyright of Kai Bian King is already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan was a little surprised that Mark Miller's comics were created so quickly.

What Robert Lee sent was only the first issue, and the relevant background has completely changed to a British setting. The so-called secret service organization has also become an existence similar to King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

Kingsman seems to be back to the way it was supposed to go, and the agent has become a so-called British gentleman again.

Of course, just a gentleman on the surface.

What is a traditional British gentleman? They talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, but they burn, kill and loot all over the world.

This is the so-called British aristocratic fan.

Ronan simply flipped through the manga and said, It's not bad, the setting is much more reasonable than the movie we made.

Robert Lee continued: The purpose of the film we made was to find Arabs to attract investment, so the settings in many places were not reasonable.

In his eyes, it is the biggest unreasonable thing for Arabs to be protagonists and decent characters.

Although the start of Relativity Entertainment is closely related to the funds of the Arabs, the deep-rooted views formed by Robert Lee since he was a child will not change because of this.

Ronan said: The comics hinted at the launch. If Mark Miller is willing, after the serialization of the first comic is over, he can continue to create the second one.

Robert Lee nodded: I will discuss this matter with him.

The wider the distribution of comics, the better for future film adaptations.

The first part of Ace Agent was quite successful, especially the headshot fireworks and Colin Firth's killing of a hundred people in the church, which left a deep impression on people.

After get off work, Ronan did not return to the manor immediately. He had dinner with Tom Cruise in a restaurant in Century City and discussed some matters at the same time.

Netflix is ​​going public soon, and Tom Cruise is also part of the plan, and there are related actions.

Next week, the ALS Charity Foundation announced by Tom Cruise at a press conference will hold an inaugural reception.

This is also a charity dinner.

Whether it is Ronan or Tom Cruise, in terms of charity, they will not do the dirty act of pledging donations but not acknowledging their accounts.

In order to gain attention and win attention, it is normal for celebrities to use charity to promote themselves, and this is the case all over the world.

But you have to do what you say. This is the minimum credit for being a human being. Otherwise, what is the difference between talking and farting?

Tom Cruise never wanted to be Oprah and Julia Roberts.

The location has been determined. Tom Cruise said, In Ballroom 1 of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Ronan nodded: What do you need my help for?

Tom Cruise half-jokingly said: You just need to lead the donation.

Ronan took a sip of water and said seriously: No problem, I've always supported charity.

He will donate $2 million each in his own name and Relativity Entertainment's name.

All the money will be used for the treatment and recuperation of people with ALS.

Ronan has never been a soft-hearted person, but he still has the most basic conscience and bottom line, otherwise he would not be recognized as a reliable and trustworthy representative in Hollywood.

That visit with Tom Cruise to the ALS Nursing Home really touched me.

On the other hand, in order to cooperate with the listing of Netflix Network, these actions of Tom Cruise are all voluntary help. Although he will also invest in the stock of Netflix Network, Ronan should support Tom Cruise. , will definitely support.

To put it bluntly, this is also supporting himself.

Tom Cruise said at this time: In terms of media reporters, I have contacted a lot here, but how can it not compare to your Theory of Relativity entertainment, you have to think of ways in this regard.

Ronan said: Don't worry, the public relations department is already in contact, and there will be at least a hundred media present.

As long as the pre-work is done well and the momentum is large enough, then Tom Cruise will attract more people's attention, and at the same time, Netflix will receive more attention.

This plan, which has been planned for a long time, must of course be implemented on the platform of Netflix.

When the media and the Internet spread wildly, Netflix must be one of the most frequently mentioned names, which can virtually bring huge advertising effects.

Ronan is very clear about one thing. The reason why once popular websites or apps have so many users is the spontaneous communication of users attracting users.

Behind any popular APP, there is a promotion plan that takes a lot of thought and resources.

Are there any other questions? Ronan put down his water glass and asked.

Tom Cruise thought carefully for a while, and said: Not for the time being, we will keep in touch by phone and communicate in time if there are any problems.

Ronan glanced at his watch and said, Yes.

After the two finished their dinner meeting, Ronan returned to the manor and called Connie, asking her to follow up on inviting media reporters in time.

As soon as she got to work the next day, Connie sent the list of media who had accepted the invitation to Ronan.

Later, Ronan received another call from Gore Verbinski, and the two sides had a brief communication about The Weatherman.

It is impossible for Ronan to spend tens of millions of dollars to invest in projects with huge risks just because he has cooperated with Gore Verbinski.

The two parties are originally engaged in business cooperation, and business cooperation must naturally be determined by profits.

Like the previous Guillermo del Toro and Paul Greengrass, the two parties were very happy when they cooperated, and there were no irreconcilable conflicts when the cooperation ended.

With the help of Relativity Entertainment's platform, these directors have achieved success, and it will be much easier to find investment.

With the Pirates of the Caribbean series, it was not difficult for Gore Verbinski to find new investors.

Just after hanging up the phone with Gore Verbinski, Connie informed Ronan that someone from Disney came to visit.
