Chapter 360： Social Me Page

Sitting at the conference table, Mary Claire flipped through several drawings, and finally stayed on the heroine.

With a long nose and a big head, even though the drawing is a bit bad, she still saw it at a glance. This is a anthropomorphic cartoon pig.

Is this an animated short film about pigs?

In fact, it doesn't matter what you make, it just depends on the company's plan, which is the work used to train them.

Ronan simply said: "What I provide is only the personality and general image. You need to do the specific work, and we will discuss it after the plan is made."

Chris Renard said: "Yes."

Ronan added: "I have asked the screenwriter to design the specific story. Please pay attention to the character of the character. This is a pink pig named Peppa. Generally speaking, he has self-esteem, arrogant, and a little willful. Girls of the same age are leaders."

He thought for a while: "The name of the short film is "Little Pig Peppa"."

No one else has any opinions.

Eric Veron has been looking at the character set. There are only four main characters, Daddy Pig, Mama Pig, Peppa and George.

A typical family of four, the setting is typical of an American middle-class family.

Ronan looked at the time and said, "That's it for the time being. If you have any questions, communicate with me in time."

At the end of the meeting, everyone left the meeting room.

Ronan didn't wait much. In the evening, he made an appointment with Hans Zimmer to discuss how Hans Zimmer's team would score the "Pirates of the Caribbean".

As for "Peppa Pig", it's a short film for the time being, just leave it to Chris Leonard and the others.

After the short film comes out, it is not too late to consider the following animation series. This kind of animation is much simpler than animation film production, and it can also be used as a hand-training work in the early days of the animation production department.

Ronan has made certain changes to the settings and changed it to the American version. If he can get an Oscar nomination or award for best short film, the promotion will go smoother later.

The content of the animated short film reflects the warmth of the family. If an animated series is released in the future, it will be seriously naive.

The animation production department always has to run in and practice before making high-investment animated feature films. No matter how much money is invested, this animation investment is limited, even if it fails, it will not cause much loss.

In case it succeeds...

In the past life, this is one of the most profitable animated series in the world after entering the new century.

It is said that annual revenue is more than one billion US dollars.

And compared to the team that did "Pig Pig" in the previous life, the resources of Relativity Entertainment are much richer than them.

This is also the advantage.

Before confirming this plan, Ronan, in addition to the U.S. Copyright Office, specially commissioned the British branch of Embassy Pictures to do the same preliminary inquiry work. There was no copyright registration of related piggy-type animation works or dolls.

Next week, he will send Dinah's lawyers to conduct related copyright registrations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and other countries and regions.

There will be similar works coming out later, which is an infringement of the copyright of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan only made character settings, and the specific story writing was handed over to the screenwriter department.

"Little Pig Page" needs correct values ​​that are very in line with the mainstream social aesthetics. Ronan sometimes feels that there is a problem with his three views, so he should not participate in the value setting of children's works.

In fact, when he contacted the animation production team, he was already working on the idea of ​​Peppa Pig.

Ronan also expects this dividend piglet to glow with the glory of his previous life.

In his previous life, Page was definitely regarded as the most popular pig in the world.

There is even a tendency to become the Pooh and Hello Kitty IP that derives extremely scary surroundings.

At that time, Peppa Pig became the real queen of popular fashion goods, covering everything from plush dolls, watches, tattoo stickers, car stickers to backpacks and slippers.

Society is Peppa, pig red makes more money.

Of course, pulling an animation film production team to spend a long time on "Little Pig Page" is definitely a waste of resources. Ronan will then ask Shahai Entertainment to recruit some people, and wait for the original animation film team to finish training, and then let new The team took over this series.

There is also Peppa's dubbing, and we must also consider it carefully. The little British girl in her previous life called Peppa's dubbing and earned millions of pounds.

Find a girl with a distinctive voice, and then sign a long contract.

In the evening, Ronan met Hans Zimmer himself at the Burbank Business Club and personally sent him a soundtrack invitation for "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The agents of the two parties have been in contact before and basically reached an agreement.

Hans Zimmer is one of the most paid soundtracks in Hollywood today. Ronan spent as much as $300 in order to invite him and his team.

That is, John Williams and his music team are paid more than Hans Zimmer.

With the $3 million remuneration in front of him, the question of what pirate movie is over is not a problem with Hans Zimmer.

Anyone who knows Hans Zimmer knows that Hans Zimmer may not be the best soundtrack in Hollywood, but he is definitely the best soundtrack businessman in Hollywood.

This is not only the high fees of Hans-Zimmer, but also that Hans-Zimmer's style is very suitable for the needs of commercial films.

In the Hollywood industry, there has always been an inverted Zimmer school. They criticized Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for being too stylized and lacking in artistic content, turning into a low-priced piece of music that can be on par with movies.

But in Ronan's eyes, these are advantages, which meet the needs of film marketing.

In contact with Hans Zimmer, Ronan also realized Hans Zimmer's positioning of the film's soundtrack.

Hans-Zimmer is well aware of today's directors' needs for visual music: almost every work accurately reflects the integration of sound and picture, especially in the field of commercial films.

Coupled with the power of the special effects of today's movies and the improvement of the mood of the picture compared to the previous ones, the movie music does not need the satisfaction of the creative mode of the year.

It can be said that Hans Zimmer's style positioning is very much in line with the needs of the development of the film industry.

This method of creating music with specific emotions on specific screens is undoubtedly the most needed mode for commercial films today.

Moreover, the relatively low cost and high efficiency of Hans Zimmer's soundtrack are also important factors that producers cannot ignore.

Otherwise, it will not happen that the commercial soundtracks represented by Hans Zimmer are popular, and the old school, who is still obsessed with the golden age and unwilling to follow the development of the times, is gradually eliminated.

In fact, most people like Ronan do not understand the art of film scoring. They think the soundtrack is good, fits the movie scene, and can mobilize emotions. It is a good soundtrack.

As for Hans Zimmer, the soundtracks of "The Lion King", "Risk to Death Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight" and "Interstellar" are all classics.

In particular, the soundtrack in "Brave to Death Island" was cited as "Overture to the Dead" by game fans across the Pacific.

Of course, no one can deny that Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack is sometimes too rowy.

When Ronan met Hans Zimmer in person, he also wanted to remind him to attach importance to this cooperation and come up with a normal level.

To a certain extent, Hans Zimmer is a bit like Nicholas Cage. He is amazing when he is high-level and horrible when he is paddling.

"I hope this is the beginning of our successful cooperation. "Pirates of the Caribbean" has planned a trilogy, and Shahai Entertainment will have a series of major productions next." Ronan seemed to be very casual and said to Hans Zimmer: "I am very Appreciate your soundtrack style and hope to hear a masterpiece again."

Hans Zimmer is a soundtrack, but he is also a businessman. Hearing Ronan say this, he immediately paid more attention to this cooperation and said: "Mr. Anderson, you can rest assured that my team and I will do our best."

Ronan added: "I believe in Mr. Jimo's ability level. The music of "The Lion King" is impressive and unforgettable."

Hearing Ronan mentioning "The Lion King", Hans Zimmer couldn't help asking: "Does "Pirates of the Caribbean" need to sing a theme song? I should prepare in advance."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "You created an ending song that fits the style of the overall soundtrack, with the momentum of the Caribbean Sea storm."

"Yes." Hans Zimmer immediately responded and then suggested: "The film is a story that takes place in the Caribbean. I have a preliminary plan for the soundtrack style, and the theme song is the best. Choose Latin singers to sing."

This is a suggestion from professionals. Ronan takes it seriously and said, "I will look for suitable candidates."

At the end of the meeting, Ronan left the clubhouse and drove back to the manor, carefully considering Hans Zimmer's suggestions.

If a Latin singer sings the theme song, who is right?

Who is the most famous Latin singer in North America today? In Ronan’s impression, the man is Ricky Martin. The Cup of Life performed by Ricky Martin on the Grammys in the past two years was praised by the media as one of the most outstanding live performances in the history of the Grammys. .

For a female singer, it seems to be Jennifer Lopez, right?

But for Jennifer Lopez, Ronan still stays in the perception that popular songs are not popular.

No matter now or in his past life, James Lopez is quite famous as a star, but Ronan has never heard of a representative song if he really wants to let people say it.

Perhaps he is ignorant.

These two people are not suitable. The former does not develop in the United States very much, and the latter is notoriously difficult to make.

After returning to the manor, Ronan suddenly thought of a suitable candidate. Not long ago, at a party, he met a Latin female singer. Not only did Shakira chat well with him, but also left her contact information.

Had it not been for Avril Lavigne later, Ronan would not forget about Shakira.

It seems that this Latin queen is quite capable.

Just do it when he thinks it. After going to work the next day, Ronan called Shakira and tentatively invited her to join the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew as a singer of the ending song.
