Chapter 596： Future pattern

If the investment in "Avatar" can be obtained, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the development of the 20th century Fox in the future, and may even lead to the early appearance of Rupert Murdoch's sale of the 20th century Fox.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for future relativistic entertainment.

I remember that several sons and daughters of the Murdoch family, for the sake of shares and inheritance rights, were in trouble for a while.

In the past, Ronan’s pattern seemed very small, because the big pattern needed strength as the basis. Too much prospect of the pattern is very likely to lead to mental imbalance and make wrong judgments at the wrong time, leading to wrong decision making.

For companies like Relativity Entertainment, a wrong decision can lead to fatal mistakes.

Nowadays, Relativity Entertainment has a certain strength, and even reached the position of the second-tier leader in Hollywood, Ronan's eyes gradually look higher and farther.

Is the scenery on the top of Hollywood better? Can Relativity Entertainment become a top entertainment group?

Many plans that only stayed in the head and stayed on paper before can start to prepare.

Every large-scale expansion of any company group is preparing for it years in advance.

After Ronan returned to Los Angeles, he kept discussing secretly with Robert Iger in a conference room for several days, and only the two of them knew the specific content of the discussion.

The team formed by Robert Iger for the acquisition of Artisan Films, not only did not disband after the completion of the acquisition, but now it has officially become the business division of the group company and is directly under the jurisdiction of Robert Iger.

Everything is preparing for the future, including temporarily dealing with some of the troubles created by the six major companies.

There is a counterattack in the defense, but in general, it is still mainly defense for the time being.

In the afternoon, Ronan got off work on time. Seeing that there were too many people crowded in the elevator, he simply walked up and down the stairs from the fire exit, and quickly reached the lobby on the first floor.

This slightly old office building has witnessed the establishment and development of Relativity Entertainment.

However, the small area and outdated supporting facilities no longer meet the development requirements of the Relativity Entertainment Group. It is also necessary for a large company to have a matching headquarters.

Especially in the glamorous Hollywood, this is an indispensable condition.

Not to mention the six major Hollywood companies, look at the Glendale DreamWorks Industrial Park.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson."

A strange face came over suddenly, and was stopped not far in front by Vinci.

Ronan thought that as usual, he was the person who was looking for him to promote the script or movie project, nodded slightly, and replied, "Hello."

Since the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has exploded, too many people have voluntarily gathered to sell him projects and scripts. Many of them have used cases such as Sanda Remus, but more of them are worthless. project.

Even so, Ronan's attitude towards these people is well known in the circle.

There are too many projects in Hollywood that have existed in obscurity for many years before they became popular. No one knows whether he will recall the projects in front of him.

But the person who appeared today was obviously not here to promote the movie project.

"Mr. Anderson, can I take you a few minutes?" the man said as quickly as possible, "I am Cameron Sloan, Mel Gibson's agent."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "You have five minutes."

He waved his hand and walked first to the corner of the first floor. Finch stared at Cameron Sloan and followed him together.

"Please speak." Ronan was still very polite on the surface.

Cameron Sloan had been prepared for a long time and said directly: "Should we resolve the lawsuit between Aiken Pictures and Embassy Pictures as soon as possible? We can reach an out-of-court settlement."

Ronan just looked at Cameron Sloan without saying a word.

Cameron Sloan was a little embarrassed, still holding Ronan's gaze, continued: "It won't be good for both of us..."

Connie came down from upstairs at this time, noticed the situation here, and quickly walked over. Just when she heard Cameron Sloan’s words, she couldn't help but ridicule, but saw that Ronan didn’t speak. Lived, as usual, standing behind Ronan.

"Mr. Anderson." Cameron Sloan continued: "We can reach a settlement and we will let Embassy Pictures..."

Ronan simply raised his hand to interrupt Cameron Sloan's words: "If you want this matter to end, there is only one possibility. You take the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit, and Mr. Mel Gibson personally apologized to Embassy Pictures."

"I..." Cameron Sloan's words were all stuck in his mouth.

If Mel Gibson can be persuaded, why should he come here to jump up and down.

In some ways, Cameron Sloan is a qualified agent, but under the Hollywood industry rules, he is also quite helpless when he encounters an unusually strong and grumpy client like Mel Gibson.

Ronan didn't bother to say anything, he nodded lightly at Cameron Sloan and left directly.

Connie quickly followed and asked in a low voice, "Where is the lawsuit?"

"Follow normal procedures." Ronan didn't pay much attention to it: "If possible, drag it on."

Connie didn't understand Ronan's meaning, shouldn't this kind of matter be resolved as soon as possible?

Ronan simply said: "With Mel Gibson as a person, the success of "Passion" will make him more swell. Some people have been attacking this movie and Mel Gibson himself. Personality, how can it be unbearable? Wait, Mel Gibson’s violent temper and that big mouth will cause trouble sooner or later, and we won’t have to work hard at that time, some people will clean him up."

Connie knew who Ronan was talking about, and questioned: "Mel Gibson really dare?"

There are some things, even if you really think so, as long as you don’t say it publicly, there is not much trouble, but once you say it, in the current social environment, a public figure faces more than censure?

Ronan said lightly: "You know about Mel Gibson in particular, what did he look like after drinking?"

"It was originally a big mouth." Connie specifically checked the relevant situation because of this lawsuit: "After drinking, she thought she could swallow the Pacific Ocean with a big mouth."

Ronan smiled and said, "Well, go home and rest."

It seems that Mel Gibson used his big mouth in the past two years to make himself embarrassed and unable to turn over for more than ten years.

A person like Mel Gibson is just a gun that is instigated by others, and there is no need to focus on him at all. This kind of person will take the initiative to jump out and die soon.

Even moving the Himalayas over to press Mel Gibson on top of Mel Gibson could not stop him from committing death.

Such a person would not close his eyes even if he died without telling his true thoughts.

Frankly speaking, people like Mel Gibson are too easy to deal with compared to the seemingly giggling competitors.

At the end of March, James Cameron’s representative, Ellie Smith, returned to Los Angeles and, under the leadership of Connie, entered the Embassy Film Industry. The two sides formally began negotiations on the release of "Deep Sea Alien".

The news spread quickly. No one, including Twentieth Century Fox, cared too much. After all, it was just a documentary.

Even with a 3D coat, it is still a documentary.

Ronan did not offer unrealistic cooperation terms because of James Cameron, and all negotiations for the issuance followed normal procedures.

With the first cooperation, the talks will be much smoother later.

In addition, with Ellie Smith, there was an executive from IMAX, named Richard Gerefang.

The current IMAX company is not the future. Although it has worked with James Cameron to make technical improvements, in fact IMAX technology has not really been accepted by Hollywood, far from mainstream production and projection technology. IMAX company is doing a lot of promotion work. To promote this technology, we must first have enough film sources, those re-production types of films, can not give full play to the advantages of IMAX technology.

IMAX technology has been born for many years. In the past, it can only be circulated in the planetarium and documentary fields. IMAX company knows very well that if they want to promote this technology, Hollywood is the barrier they must overcome. The big directors are very critical.

The work needs to be done by a company, and Relativity Entertainment is one of the main public relations objects of IMAX.

In recent years, IMAX has also sponsored several other projects, but none of these projects have become popular movies that have caused a sensation. Although IMAX theaters have also begun construction, there is a lack of good enough IMAX movies to make IMAX worldwide Built a reputation within.

Ronan introduced Richard Gerefang to Christopher Nolan very simply.

Once, Christopher Nolan was one of the biggest supporters of IMAX technology.

Using IMAX technology to shoot and produce is only good for "The Dark Knight", and in the style of Christopher Nolan, 3D technology will definitely not be used technology will damage the light and is not suitable for intense Most of the scenes in "The Dark Knight" take place at night, and 3D technology is completely unsuitable.

In the past "Batman v Superman", the dark 3D effect, like "Martha", became the super slot of the film.

As for Christopher Nolan’s talk with IMAX, Ronan did not directly interfere. Although this is a Warner Bros. project, as long as "Batman: Hour of War" succeeds, Christopher Nolan will definitely be able to play in "The Dark Knight." Get a part of the right to speak.

However, IMAX technology also has its drawbacks. The most typical one is that IMAX cameras are too heavy and bulky. Quite a lot of lenses, especially scenes with relatively complex environments, can be very inconvenient to shoot.

Entering April, Marvel Comics, under the lobbying of Robert Lee and out of self-interest, asked Twentieth Century Fox to return to the negotiating table and discuss the issue of the film division of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" .

The third film released by Embassy Pictures will also be released.
