The Best Entertainment Era

Latest website: For things like Mel Gibson, not to mention that Ronan's position is against him, even the past collaborators are silent.

What Mel Gibson offended was not a certain person or a certain company, but the Jewish group with huge resources.

It is conceivable that for many years to come, Mel Gibson's career will be at a standstill, waiting for time to fade away.

There are too many Hollywood stars who commit suicide, and this can be said to be a very classic way of committing suicide.

How could Ronan and Relativity Entertainment go through this kind of muddy water?

Some things, some opinions, it doesn't matter what you think or say in private, once you say it publicly, it will be a big trouble.

The matter of Mel Gibson fully demonstrated what it means to speak out from the mouth.

Not to mention anything else, even Mel Gibson's agency broke with him.

Robert Downey Jr. is a sweetheart. He was taken care of and supported by Mel Gibson when he was in trouble. Now that Mel Gibson is in trouble, he also wants to help.

But Ronan's direct refusal also made Robert Downey Jr. understand that in the face of this social trend, individuals simply cannot contend.

Sorry. Robert Downey Jr. smiled shyly, I've caused you trouble.

Ronan patted Robert Downey Jr.'s arm lightly, and said, It's okay. Downey, give your friend a piece of advice. Apologize earnestly and keep a low profile.

Robert Downey Jr. thought for a while and said, I see, thank you.

Other than that, there seems to be no other way.

Ronan vaguely remembered that the sinking of Mel Gibson lasted for ten years.

David Ellison came over at this time, and after congratulating Ronan, he said: Relativity Entertainment's achievements in the film business are really outstanding. He tentatively asked: Ronan, Little Yellow How much can the peripherals of People sell?

Ronan smiled and said, The profit is a little higher than the box office.

David Ellison said: You're so humble.

This is not modesty. Ronan said solemnly: With the increase in marketing expenses, the profit margin of a single film has been declining.

David Ellison was not in the rookie state when he first entered the circle, nodded slowly, and said: Nowadays movies, the investment in promotion and distribution is too high.

He gave an example: The production cost of the Blair Witch you worked on was only tens of thousands of dollars. At that time, I was thinking, did this business make too much money? I found out later that you are only in North America. Publicity and distribution costs alone cost $20 million.

Ronan said frankly: Behind any film that seems to be low-cost and high-grossing, there is a huge amount of publicity and marketing expenditure.

David Ellison shook his head slowly: Unfortunately, Disney refuses to invest more in my movie.

Ronan asked curiously, How are you and Ryan doing at Disney?

Hearing about Disney, David Ellison instantly cheered up: Ryan and I have all joined the board of directors, plus Dick Cook, Maple Leaf Pictures has already occupied three seats on Disney's board of directors, but we are far from getting it. The controlling stake is still far away...

Ronan said: Disney's situation is complicated, and you guys are doing a good job.

When the deal was first made, Ryan Cavanaugh and David Ellison knew that Walt Disney's internal situation was chaotic, and that was exactly what they valued.

Because there is no civil strife in Disney, they have no chance of controlling it.

David Ellison added: Maple Leaf Pictures has plenty of money, and Ryan and I are waiting for the opportunity, when we will make Michael Eisner and Roy Disney look good.

Ronan nodded slowly and said, I wish you all your wishes come true soon.

It will definitely. David Ellison seemed very confident: Since joining the game of Walt Disney, Maple Leaf Pictures will be the final winner.

Instead, he said, My new movie Air Combat Heroes will be released next week, remember to attend the premiere.

Ronan responded: No problem. He then asked: Disney's distribution?

David Ellison said: The announcement is very unsatisfactory.

Ronan didn't answer. He had also watched Air Combat Heroes before, so as far as the movie itself is concerned, it's worth noting.

However, in view of the fairly good relationship with David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh, Ronan took time off the following week after the celebration party to attend the premiere of Heroes of the Air.

At the entrance of the premiere theater, five old-fashioned propeller planes produced in the 1920s and 1930s are arranged. These are not model props, but genuine classic planes collected by Larry Ellison.

David Ellison and Larry Ellison, father and son, are both avid aircraft enthusiasts.

The Ellison family's passion for aircraft is fully reflected in this air combat movie.

At the premiere, in addition to David Ellison, Ronan had a chat with Ryan Kavanaugh exclusively.

David and I have made a lot of efforts at Disney. Ryan Cavano said to Ronan: We have won part of the distribution resources of Disney Pictures and Bowei International, and the film distribution of Maple Leaf Pictures is no longer a problem. .”

Ronan said: Walt Disney's distribution channels are top-notch in the industry. If they are used well, Maple Leaf Pictures will have good opportunities for development.

Ryan Cavanaugh was very emotional: If you don't enter this industry, you don't know. The top resources of distribution have already been divided up. If you didn't give Maple Leaf Pictures the opportunity to enter Disney, we may have a lot of distribution channels for many years to come. Worrying can also pay a huge price.

Ronan smiled and said: Nowadays, whether the film is successful or not, the proportion of publicity and distribution even exceeds the production itself. Relativity Entertainment is lucky to have established a global marketing channel that belongs to the company itself early. If we continue to In the later years, it was difficult for Relativity Entertainment to find opportunities.”

Walt Disney's civil turmoil may be sad to many people, but in the eyes of Ryan - Kavanaugh has always been an opportunity: Walt Disney is the only opportunity for Maple Leaf Pictures to enter the top of Hollywood.

For him and David Ellison, joining the Hollywood game is, of course, wanting to climb to the top.

Ronan said calmly: I hope you will take control of Disney as soon as possible.

It is conceivable that Walt Disney, one of the six major Hollywood companies, will have fierce internal battles in the future.

As for Walt Disney's long-term plan, Ronan didn't hear Ryan Cavanaugh and David Ellison mention it. Perhaps these two people's thoughts are temporarily focused on fighting for control of Disney. After the power, let's talk about future development.

But Disney, without a long-term plan, will inevitably fall behind gradually.

For some future plans, Relativity Entertainment has already eliminated a strong competitor in advance.

David Ellison came to Ronan with a middle-aged man and introduced: Father, this is Ronan, my friend. Ronan, this is my father, Larry Ellison.

Ronan shook hands with Larry Ellison and said, Nice to meet you.

Larry Ellison is usually arrogant, but in front of Ronan, he still has enough politeness, and said with a smile: Ronan, I am also very happy to meet you.

In terms of net worth and company influence, the two have similar status, and they don't have a conflict of interest like Oracle and Microsoft, so there is a basis for peaceful coexistence.

After a few pleasantries, Larry Ellison said, I heard you're working with Steve Jobs?

Ronan didn't mean to deny it: I bought Jobs' Pixar studio, and he became one of the major shareholders of Netflix.

Larry Ellison asked: Won't you consider working with Oracle?

Ronan replied: If the opportunity is right, Relativity Entertainment welcomes every partner.

Larry Ellison grinned: I'm a better partner than Jobs.

Ronan laughed, Larry Ellison really can't compare with Jobs in this respect!

Steve Jobs will die in a few years, which is not much of a threat in itself, but Larry Ellison seems to have a long life to live.

This is arguably the greatest strength of Steve Jobs.

Larry Ellison issued a warm invitation: You are welcome to Oracle when you have time, and we will talk about it in detail.

Ronan seemed to be very serious and said: I must make a special trip to visit another day.

Many of Oracle's software are widely used in many industries. For example, some systems of Netflix are also developed and designed based on Oracle's software.

But in terms of traditional Hollywood film and television production, the possibility of cooperation between the two parties is unlikely.

Ronan then walked into the premiere theater, accompanied by Ryan Cavanaugh.

Due to Walt Disney's limited investment in publicity and distribution, the premiere of Air Combat Heroes is not large, and the number of guests who can attend the premiere is also limited.

Ronan met James Franco and had a few words with him.

The young actor, famous for playing the little green goblin, is also cooperating with Relativity Entertainment. In the Teddy Bear that Sandhai Entertainment is preparing, James Franco will play the leading role.

To be precise, it should be the supporting actor for Super Cheap Bear.

Ronan remembers very clearly that James Franco has a great talent for being funny, and he has acted in many shit comedy movies in the later period, which are quite interesting.

For example, James Franco and Seth Rogen have collaborated many times.

But in this movie, the performance of the actor James Franco can only be said to be very average.

When David Ellison invested in Air Combat Heroes, he once made bold statements that every additional aircraft in the film would increase the budget by $1 million.

However, the background of World War I made the air combat scenes look a bit unbelievable, or lack of highlights.

Movies are movies after all, not history. After all, this is a commercial entertainment film. As long as the audience is willing to buy it, these problems are not a problem.

But David Ellison's road to Hollywood was not smooth, and the box office of Air Combat Heroes in North America was only 6.03 million US dollars in its first weekend.
