Chapter 83： 1 gain nothing

pulled Tony Koch on the plane, found a seat in the business class, Ronan packed his luggage and prepared to head to Park City, Utah, where the Saint Denis Film Festival was held.

"What I want to see in Hollywood is the charm of female stars." Tony Koch fastened his seat belt and complained, "As a result, I didn't leave the airport, so you dragged me to the film festival."

Ronan ignored Tony’s complaint and said, “The film festival is an important part of Hollywood.”

Tony rolled his eyes and asked, "There are many beautiful female stars at the film festival?"

"It is estimated that there are beautiful women." Ronan told the truth: "But it is not easy to see big-name female stars at the Saint Denis Film Festival."

The Saint Denis Film Festival in this era is purely a paradise for independent films. It is not completely invaded by Hollywood films as it will be in a few years, and tends to fall into Hollywood film promotion and trading.

Tony said dissatisfied: "Beautiful women and beautiful female stars are completely two creatures!"

Ronan asked deliberately, "Is there a difference?"

Tony asked, "You last big star and an ordinary woman, can you feel the same psychologically?"

Ronan was speechless for an instant, and the answer to the question was obvious.

The bonus of aura, identity and fame has a considerable psychological impact.

I wonder what kind of Hollywood used to be, and the incident of Teacher Chen, why are so many people rushing to watch it? To say that their appearance and body may not be better than the top female stars of San Fernando Valley, but the effect of the star halo is quite large.

"Do you know what my biggest goal is this time?" Tony asked again.

Ronan shrugged: "Don’t you have a deep understanding of our future cooperation?"

"This is only one aspect." Tony said: "I have to meet a few female stars, the best..."

He laughed, and then asked, "To be honest, Ronan. How many female stars have you been on?"

Ronan was silent, not knowing how to answer.

Tony asked curiously: "Ten? Five? Three? One?" His face was incredulous: "No one? You are wasting resources! Wasting resources is a crime, Ronan!"

Ronan doesn’t matter, he casually replied: “It’s not time yet. Let’s put it this way, when your status is high enough, these are nothing.

He changed the subject: "Speaking of business, have you started a new round of financing?"

"Not yet." Tony put away his joking mentality, and said seriously: "It takes a movie project to attract investment. And my mother's relationship has basically been used up in the last round of 40 million US dollars, and I must look for new investment. Source, now I can only do some preparatory work."

Ronan nodded: "Alright, when I start a new project, your side will be almost ready."

Tony tidied his seat belt and asked, "How much investment do you need for your next project?"

Ronan pondered a little, and said: "It hasn't been decided yet. At least 50 or 60 million dollars will be required."

"I'm going back to speed up the operation and financing." Tony is a bit difficult: "This is not a small number."

Ronan patted his chair and said, "Let me give you some motivation. The financing source is not from Aunt Helen’s friends and business partners. You can increase the handling fee. I told you last time that many companies have procedures. The fee is as high as 15%."

Tony's eyes are full of stars: "Let me do the math, what is 15%."

Someone sat down in a seat across the aisle. The man glanced at Ronan and greeted him actively: "Ronan."

Hearing this familiar voice, Ronan turned his head and responded with a smile: "What a coincidence, Gray."

The person who said hello was Gray Enrique of Lionsgate.

"You are also going to the Saint Denis Film Festival?" Gray Enrique said.

Ronan nodded: "Our destination is the same."

Gray Enrique looked at Ronan and said, "I heard that you bought a distribution company?"

"Embassy Pictures, a very small distribution company." Ronan did not deny it. After all, the film library of Embassy Pictures was bought by Lionsgate: "The distribution capacity is very general, and it is incomparable with Lionsgate."

Gray Enrique reiterated the old saying: "It’s more appropriate to hand over the release of "Death of Death" to Lionsgate. With such a large investment, if there is a problem with the release, you can't explain it to investors."

Ronan still procrastinated: "Wait until the film is finished, can you talk about it after watching it? I'm also responsible to the publisher."

Gray Enrique frowned, just feeling that this person is not ordinary shameless.

Does the publisher need you to be a producer?

He clearly felt that Ronan Anderson did not want to hand over "Reaper Is Coming" to Lionsgate for distribution.

is really a profiteer who turns his face and does not recognize anyone!

Ronan had dealt with Gray Enrique and continued to chat with Tony. After the plane took off, he took out a book and read it.

This is still a book about the entertainment industry.

Someone once said that many ways to make money are written in the law. He must be familiar with industry regulations and relevant laws to find opportunities for profit.

Ronan and Tony arrived in Park City. It was quite cold in Park City at the end of January, and white snow could be seen on the mountains outside the city.

Although the film festival has not officially opened yet, the cold weather cannot stop the passion for the film.

Not only are the movies shown in Park City’s large and small cinemas in turn, but even city squares and specially planned roadsides can be seen everywhere.

Among them, many people can't even touch the edge of Hollywood, and there are also people who shoot movies purely because of hobbies and try their luck in Park City.

From short films that cost hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars to feature films that cost tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can see them everywhere.

At night, small screens were pulled up on the side of the road and in the square. The owners of small films used the rare opportunity of the Saint Denis Film Festival to repeatedly show their films, hoping to sell them.

Some people do not expect to make much money, but hope that their masterpieces will be seen by more people.

After all, movies are made for people to watch.

However, most people still come here with the dream of becoming famous overnight.

No matter what kind of person they are, no one can deny their love for movies.

For those who are used to the Southern California climate, it is indeed a bit cold here Ronan put on a newly bought down winter suit, a cotton cap and even gloves.

The cold night can't stop his enthusiasm for movies.

This extremely competitive industry, without enough love, it is difficult to stick to it for a long time.

Ronan and Tony went downstairs and met Gray Enrique in the hotel lobby.

The two parties stayed in the same hotel, and the purpose of coming to the Saint-Denis Film Festival was somewhat similar.

"Is there a suitable goal, Gray?" Ronan asked.

In the afternoon, Gray Enrique has been walking around the square for a long time.

The other party has already bought the issuing company. Gray Enrique has a goal and won’t be stupid enough to say it. He shook his head and said, "No."

A middle-aged man next to 　　 asked curiously: "This one is?"

Ronan nodded and smiled at him, and introduced himself: "Ronan Anderson, the buyer of Shahai Entertainment."

The middle-aged man shook hands with Ronan and introduced himself: "Billy Horford, from Artison Entertainment."

Ronan knew about this company, and the more well-known Chinese name in the previous life was Yijiang Entertainment Company.

A group of people left the hotel together. Ronan’s goal is the square and the roadside, looking for valuable movies here, just like scouring treasures on the antique street, finding real treasures from countless low-value goods.

This is not easy, but for Ronan, the choice is simpler.

Those tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of films shot, as long as they are familiar to him, they must be valuable.

Ronan came to watch Tony at the movie booths one by one. Every movie shown on the roadside would let him stop and watch for a while, and then remember it.

came out from six o'clock until nine o'clock in the evening, and found nothing.
