"Remember that before the establishment of Relativity Entertainment, there was only Shahai Entertainment."
In the reception room, Kevin Tesukhara recalled the friendship between the two companies: "We were working together at that time. Many of your films were shot and post-produced at Warner Studios."
Ronan smiled and said: "Yes, Shahai Entertainment will give Warner Bros. a large amount of venue and equipment rental fees every year."
Indeed, Shahai Entertainment was cooperating with Warner Bros. in the early days, but Shahai Entertainment used various facilities of Warner Bros. not for free, but for commercial transactions that paid real money.
Kevin Tesuhara heard the meaning in Ronan's words and said: "Anyway, Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment have a good cooperative relationship."
"That's right." Ronan never denied this: "So, our two have been cooperating until now, I hope we can continue to cooperate."
These words made Kevin Tesuhara frowned without a trace, and continue to cooperate? What to cooperate with? "Batman" movie series?
Seeing that the relationship between temptation and pull is useless, Kevin Tesohala gave up and said directly: "Ronan, "Batman" is a key project of Warner Bros. and DC Comics. In-depth development will be carried out in the future. May invest in this project for a long time, so..."
Ronan said naturally: "From the very beginning of my contact with Charles Rowan, my attitude was very clear. Kevin, Shahai Entertainment values the cooperation with Warner Bros., considering the many years of cooperation between the two parties, we You can consider quitting the "Batman" series. Regardless of whether you are facing Charles Rowan or you come here in person today, my attitude has never changed."
Kevin Tesuhara knows that things are not that simple.
"Shahai Entertainment and the entire Relativity Entertainment Group have paid a lot for the "Batman" movie series." Ronan said of course: "We can't withdraw unconditionally."
Upon hearing this, Kevin Tesuhara said simply: "The remake of the two old films, plus 30 million US dollars in compensation."
Ronan said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Dark Knight" is bound to usher in a commercial explosion. The subsequent sequel will become popular for a long time. Warner Bros. is not sincere enough, and I can't help it. Entertaining up and down the theory of relativity."
Kevin Tesohara's complexion is slightly gloomy, saying that you are the boss of Relativity Entertainment, and you need to explain it to others?
But he also knew that this was not much better than the conditions Ronan had given Charles Rowan in the first place. Today is different, and the same conditions are difficult to impress the opponent.
"Well, I'm here on behalf of Warner Bros." Kevin Tesohala said: "Ronan, tell me about your terms."
Ronan slowly said: "Kevin, Relativity Entertainment does not want 30 million dollars in compensation."
As soon as this words came out, Kevin Tesukhara was a little startled, and instantly understood that the other party did not want the 30 million US dollars, I am afraid that the requirements far exceed the 30 million US dollars.
Sure enough, Ronan said unhurriedly: "I like DC Comics very much. I am a fan of DC Comics. I am interested in two superheroes."
Kevin Tesohala had a feeling that was not so good, but he held back and said, "Which two are specific?"
Ronan said calmly: "Remember that in the early 1990s, DC Comics created a female companion for him in order to enrich the role of the clown, called Harley Quinn. Later, Harley Quinn also joined the suicide team."
Kevin Tesohala did not answer, and Harley Quinn was just a marginal member of the creation of DC Comics, including the entire suicide squad, which belonged to a small role in DC Comics.
"There is one more." Ronan was testing Warner Bros., especially Kevin Tesohara's bottom line: "Wonder Woman Diana, this is my favorite comic superhero."
Kevin Tesuhara's face changed immediately: "This is impossible!"
Ronan shrugged slightly and emphasized: "These are just two female superhero roles."
"Wonder Woman is one of the three giants of the Justice League. I think you know how important it is." Kevin Tesuhara seems to have no room for negotiation: "Warner Bros. will not transfer the copyright of Wonder Woman. Conditions will not be."
Ronan still wants to fight for it as much as possible: "The successful "Batman" series, and the uncertain future of Wonder Woman..."
Kevin Tesukhara simply interrupted Ronan: "Needless to say, if you have such a condition, then we have no need to talk about it."
"Okay." Ronan said directly: "Let's maintain the status quo."
If you don't talk about it, it will not be relativity entertainment.
Seeing Ronan's attitude, Kevin Tesuhara's expression turned gloomy again.
The interview ended up unhappy.
Ronan basically sees it clearly. If he wants to take the right to invest in the "Batman" series as a condition to win the copyright of "Wonder Woman", the possibility is infinitely close to zero. After all, Wonder Woman is for the entire Justice League. Is the core figure.
As for Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad, there is some hope.
In fact, Ronan can be considered a wild price, and Warner Bros. will inevitably pay back on the spot. Relativity Entertainment can give up the rights and interests of the follow-up of the "Batman" series, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics must also give adequate compensation.
Before the first weekend of the summer vacation, Kevin Tesuhara had another meeting with Ronan, and both sides agreed to start negotiations on this.
Warner Bros. led by the CEO of DC Comics, Diego Harris, formed a small negotiating team, and started negotiations with representatives of Relativity Entertainment headed by Robert Lee.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement on one item, and Relativity Entertainment obtained the remake copyrights of Warner Bros.'s old movies "The Clown" and "The Birth of a Star", which is the basis of this transaction.
The rest will be discussed slowly.
You know, Relativity Entertainment will give up not only the investment rights in "The Dark Knight Rise", Warner Bros. also plans to continue shooting a sequel.
In addition, once the deal is concluded, it also means that Relativity Entertainment will have to give up the long-term revenue rights of the "New Batman" series.
According to Warner Bros.'s plan, the benefits to be given up by Relativity Entertainment may be calculated in units of billions. Of course, Warner Bros. must pay a sufficient price.
The possibility of getting Wonder Woman is too low. Ronan's request is to obtain as much as possible the copyright of the film and television adaptation of "Suicide Squad". If it does not work, he requires Warner Bros. to pay a sufficiently high one-time monetary compensation.
With the arrival of the summer vacation, even though the Marvel superhero movie was released on the first weekend, it was Spider-Man 3 produced and released by Sony Columbia Pictures.
The first two "Spider-Man" movies exploded. This one is the end of the trilogy. Naturally, no movie wants to collide with it head-on.
Whether it is "Hulk" by Relativity Entertainment, or "The Pharaoh and the Gods" by Twentieth Century Fox, they all avoided this weekend.
In this version, Peter Parker, who is bitter and bitter, is tortured by love, hatred and hatred.
Director Sam Remy was almost unanimously criticized by Spider-Man fans, and the plot of the whole movie led by him was heavy to depressing.
Ronan heard from Chris that during the filming and production of "Spider-Man 3", Sam Remy and the senior executives of Sony Columbia Pictures repeatedly broke out violent conflicts over the plot.
Sony Columbia Pictures hoped that the film would be easier, but Sam Remy insisted on his own opinion, and in the end Toby Maguire's face of hatred and bitterness became even more bitter.
This also led to the break between Sony Columbia Pictures and Sam Remy. Originally, Sony Columbia had plans to continue filming the fourth part, but after the conflict with Sam Remy intensified, Sony Columbia decided that this was the end of the trilogy. Then wait for the right time to restart this superhero series.
The entanglement between Sony Columbia Pictures and Sam Remy is almost reflected in this movie.
The film is sometimes very brainless, such as Harry and his butler, the inexplicable transformation of the Sandman, and so on. Sometimes it is emotionally heavy, making it seem that Spider-Man has a lot of things on his back.
This also brought the series with the worst audience and media reputation.
Fortunately, this is the "Spider-Man" movie. There are two previous movies that have laid a solid foundation for the audience, and the movie still has enough special effects.
In addition, the conclusion of the trilogy is also a huge gimmick that attracts the audience.
"Spider-Man 3" amidst the controversy, made a good start for the 2007 summer vacation. The first weekend of its release in North America, it earned US$151.11 million in three days.
Such box office numbers undoubtedly make Sony Columbia Pictures extremely pleased.
Regardless of the controversy with Sam Remy, the film is at least commercially successful, and Peter Parker is still one of the most popular superheroes in the United States.
Ordinary is also a key factor in the popularity of this version of Spider-Man.
There is also the theme of greater responsibility, greater ability, which is also in line with the social environment after 9/11.
Someone has said that after the 9/11 incident in the United States, the whole society has gained unprecedented confidence and strength because of the "Spider-Man" movie. This is the most positive feedback that a superhero role can have on the real society.
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it reflects certain facts somewhat.
In fact, many people are asking, why is it Peter Parker? Probably because of his ordinaryness.
Although Spider-Man has great power , his growth environment, education level and even thinking mode are still the same as an ordinary person.
As shown in the movie, Spider-Man’s most terrifying enemies are not the Green Devils and Doctor Octopus, but when the landlord collects rent.
Later, Spider-Man never regained Toby Maguire's heavy or bitter hatred.
It can only be said that the times have changed, and the audience of the film has also changed.
The release of "Spider-Man 3" kicked off the successful prelude to this summer file. Every weekend in May, a well-known big production movie was released.
In the following weekend, Ridley Scott's "Pharaohs and Gods" produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox will enter the North American film market.
