Chapter 802： English gentleman

In the afternoon, the project information of Gore-Wibinski's new project "Weatherman" was transferred from Shahai Entertainment to Ronan's office along with some other delivery projects.

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

Even, because of the rumor that Shahai Entertainment and Ronan value newcomers, many directors and producers choose Shahai Entertainment as their first choice.

There are hundreds of scripts delivered to Shahai Entertainment every month, and there are at least dozens of directors and producers who bring projects to find investment.

Most of them are of no value. For scripts and the like, although the elimination rate is not 100%, it is also 99.9%.

The first thing Ronan watched was Gore Wibinski's "Weatherman". He read the script first, then the project plan, and the copy of the contract with Nicholas Cage that came with the project plan.

In the hands of other people, this actor contract plus the director is Gore Wibinski, would be very convincing, but Ronan’s side directly lit the red light.

Ronan went to read the scripts that were delivered to Shahai Entertainment. As in the past, they were mostly worthless.

Then there are some director and producer projects.

The real celebrity 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 was able to review it very fast, but when it came to the seventh copy, he saw a familiar name-"Killer Code 47".

This is a female producer named Adrian Askalia, who delivered a game-adapted movie project to Shahai Entertainment.

Shahai Entertainment’s work is done very well. In addition to the project, there is also a resume of Adrian Askalia and an introduction to the game.

This so-called producer has no production history before, and has not even served as an assistant producer. More precisely, she has no experience in filming.

In terms of games, "Killer Code 47" was released in 2000. It is a game that depicts killers and methods of killing. In the game, all players have to do is to find ways to kill the target **** without knowing it.

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

Then, he saw the project plan and focused on the budget.

Such a game-based movie has an amazing budget-50 million US dollars!

Ronan didn't think about it anymore and turned on the red light.

What are you kidding about, using $50 million to shoot such an unknown game work unless he is crazy.

This is US$50 million. If you ask Brother Bao to shoot, it will be enough to make ten game-adapted movies.

Thinking of Brother Bao, Ronan made a special note on the project and asked Connie to transfer the project to Uvi Bauer. If Uvi Bauer is interested, he can talk to the female producer. , Bought the game adaptation copyright.

Of course, the price must be right.

Ronan believes that this so-called $50 million budget game adaptation movie can be produced by Uvi Bauer for $5 million.

Maybe it's more (slot).

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

"It was just sent from Marvel Entertainment. This is a comic book of "Ace Agent"." Robert Lee put the book on Ronan's desk: "It will be published in October."

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

In order to obtain the copyright of the film and television adaptation of Mark Miller’s "King of the Sea" comics, Ronan agreed to authorize the copyright of the film "Ace Agent" 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 "King of the Sea" has been in the hands of Shahai Entertainment.

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

Only the first issue was sent by Robert Lee. The related 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.

"Ace Agent" seems to be back on the way it should have been, and the agent has become a so-called English gentleman.

Of course, just a gentleman on the surface.

What is a traditional English gentleman? Talking about courtesy, justice and shame, they burned and looted all over the world.

This is the so-called British aristocracy.

Ronan simply flipped through the comics and said: "Not bad, the setting is much more reasonable than the movie we made."

Robert Lee then said: "The movie we made was to find Arabs to attract investment, so the settings in many places were not reasonable."

In his eyes, letting Arabs become protagonists and decent figures is the most unreasonable.

Although the start of relativity entertainment is closely related to the funds of the Arabs, the deep-rooted views formed by Robert Lee since childhood will not change.

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

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

The wider the spread of comics, the more beneficial it is for future film adaptations.

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

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

Netflix will be listed soon, and Tom Cruise is also part of the plan, and related actions are also being launched.

Next week, Tom Cruise announced at a press conference that the Frozen People Charity Foundation will be established and will hold a cocktail party.

This is also a charity dinner.

Whether it is Ronan or Tom Cruise, when it comes to charity, they don’t make pledges but don’t acknowledge the dirty behavior.

In order to gain eyeballs and gain attention, it is normal for celebrities to borrow charity and high publicity.

But you have to do it when you say it. This is the most basic point of credit for being a person. 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 the No. 1 Ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton."

Ronan nodded: "What do you need my help for?"

Tom Cruise said half-jokingly: "You can take the lead in donating money."

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

He will donate 2 million US dollars each in the name of private and relativity entertainment.

All these money will be used for the treatment and recuperation of people who are gradually freezing.

Ronan has never been a softhearted person, but he still has the most basic conscience and bottom line, otherwise he would not become a recognized reliable and trustworthy representative in Hollywood.

That time I went to the Frozen Man Nursing Home with Tom Cruise and was really touched.

On the other hand, in order to cooperate with Netflix’s listing, Tom Cruise’s actions are all spontaneous help. Although he will also invest in Netflix’s stock, Ronan should support Tom Cruise. , Will definitely support.

To put it bluntly, this is also to support himself.

Tom Cruise said at this time: “As for the media reporters, I have contacted a lot here, but how can it not compare to your relativity entertainment? You have to think of something in this regard.”

Ronan said: "Although rest assured, the Public Relations Department is already in contact, at least hundreds of media will be present by then."

As long as the pre-work is in place and the momentum is strong enough, then Tom Cruise will attract more people's attention and Netflix will also receive more attention.

This long-planned plan, of course, must be implemented on Netflix.

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

Ronan is very clear about one thing. The reason why the once popular website or APP has so many users is that the spontaneous communication of users attracting users is one aspect, and the more important promotion.

Behind any popular APP, there is a promotion plan that takes pains and resources.

"Any other questions?" Ronan put down his water glass and asked.

Tom Cruise thought about it for a while and said: “It’s not there for the time being, we keep in touch with us and communicate if we have any questions.”

Ronan glanced at his watch and said, "Yes."

The two ended the dinner meeting. Ronan returned to the manor and called Connie to ask her to follow up in time to invite media reporters.

As soon as she went 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 Wibinski, and the two parties briefly communicated on the "Weatherman".

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

The two sides are originally commercial cooperation, and the business cooperation is naturally determined by profit.

Like Gilmour Del Toro and Paul Greengrass before, the two parties were happy when they cooperated, and there was no irreconcilable conflict when they ended.

With the help of the platform of Relativity Entertainment, these directors have been successful, and it will be much easier to find investment.

With the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, it is not difficult for Gore Wibinski to find new investors.

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