In the car going back, Ronan looked at Uvi Bauer's script, which aroused the curiosity of Jessica Felton.
Jessica Felton asked, "Can I see it?"
Ronan handed it to her and said, "The story that Uvi-Bauer just wrote has not been polished by a screenwriter."
"The German director?" Jessica Felton became more curious: "Hollywood...well, there are very few directors like him in the world."
Ronan laughed: "Indeed, there are very few such directors."
Jessica Felton read the script with great interest, and the more she looked at it, the more interesting she asked: "I remember that Shahai Entertainment initiated a project called "Vampire Hunter Lincoln" last year. The director seems to be Uvi Bao Oh, is this the same type."
"Basically, it's like Washington's axe in the script, and it's in Lincoln's hands later." Ronan simply said: "Uvi-Bauer plans to shoot a magical version of the American president and historical celebrity film universe."
Jessica Felton asked: "Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "Almost." He briefly introduced: ""Vampire Hunter Lincoln" is the beginning, then this is about Washington, and the details will depend on Uvi-Bauer's plan, which is roughly the United States. Founding father of the country or other founding celebrities."
"A low-cost B-level film?" Jessica Felton asked again.
Ronan told the truth: "Uvi-Bauer can shoot freely within the cost of 10 million U.S. dollars. With his current appeal, it is not difficult to achieve profitability, but no matter how high the investment is, it is difficult to say, and the greater possibility is a loss. "
Jessica Felton nodded slowly, carefully read the script, read it for a while, and said, "This is a fusion of Cthulhu's worldview and setting, right?"
Ronan said: "Uvi-Bauer plans to put the entire series in the world of Cthulhu, telling the story of the founding fathers of the United States who established this country from a wild and terrifying world."
But Uvi-Bauer’s story is not the same as Ronan’s first thought when he talked about "Cherry Blossom Washington".
Ronan was influenced by the Internet. At the beginning, he considered a version of the sky bombing so that he could have a backup plan when Uvi-Bauer could not open his mind.
Roughly Virginia is a barren wilderness. The humans who crossed the ocean to establish colonization here can only survive in the cracks of various horror and horror. There is a horror dominator in Virginia, which is a mutated ancient cherry tree. , It is the scariest monster in Virginia.
The young Washington, the son of a planter in an ordinary human settlement, has been alone since he was a child, and determined to change the world. At the age of twelve, he created a super battle axe. He grew up in the expectation of countless people and killed the horrible cherry tree. Virginia brought hope, and from then on was nicknamed "Cherry Blossom Axe", and finally embarked on the road of contending for world hegemony.
Cherry blossoms in Washington, DC is also a common stalk on the Internet about foreign countries.
There are many similar stalks.
For example, many people are always dissatisfied with the life in front of them, and feel that the life outside is exceptionally beautiful.
In the eyes of these people, it can be roughly summed up like this.
The American domineering passport, the German conscience sewer; the national medical care in Somalia, and the Russian free room; the Indian Ganges river is effective, the island country’s summer camp croaks; being splashed with coffee Thatcher, the tip of the tongue is very beautiful in South Korea, and the British gentleman’s manner Democratic Iraq, Afghanistan has less freedom and wars; Ukraine has all the votes, Bhutan has a high quality of life...
Of course, monks from outside will recite sutras, and the moon overseas is particularly round, which is also a common situation in the world.
Uvi-Bauer completed the script independently, although the script needs other screenwriters to supplement and polish, Ronan also considers the director to give priority to his own story.
In Hollywood, Cthulhu movies are very rare and belong to an absolute subcategory of movie genres.
But the story of Cthuluga, the founding father of the United States, should arouse some people's interest and attention.
After Jessica Felton read the script, she returned it to Ronan and asked: "You went to Lindsay's crew today? Did she go well?"
"Soon." Ronan collected the script and said, "The director and heroine have been finalized."
Jessica Felton said: "Gail Gadot? It's really her, that heroine is good, has experience in the army, it is difficult to find such actors in Hollywood, very suitable for Katniss."
Ronan said casually: "Do you know, Jesse? I saw her today, and suddenly thought of Wonder Woman. If we can get the movie rights of Wonder Woman from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, maybe she will play Wonder Woman. The heroine is also good."
"Isn't it right?" Jessica Felton was the first reaction: "Wonder Woman is..."
She glanced at her **** and said, "Can you get the movie rights to Wonder Woman?"
Ronan said directly: "No, Warner Bros. and DC Comics will not give way in the first half of Wonder Woman."
The negotiations between the two sides are still in a see-saw. The copyright of the remake of "Cry of the Clown" and "A Star Is Born" has long been agreed, and the copyright of "Suicide Squad" including Harley Quinn is not a problem.
Relativity Entertainment gave up the film and television adaptation copyright of "Wonder Woman", and instead talked to Warner Bros. about these compensations other than copyright.
After all, Ronan is the producer of the new "Batman" series of films. Many news is not hidden from him. Warner Bros. plans to continue filming a sequel after "The Dark Knight Rises" to achieve seamless connection with the Justice League series.
The larger the future plans of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, the stronger the capital for relativity entertainment negotiations.
After returning to the manor and having dinner together, Ronan and Jessica Felton went directly to the master bedroom on the third floor with a tacit understanding, what about Washington DC, what is the copyright of Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn, It doesn't matter anymore.
The next day, Ronan got up early in the morning and ran in the morning. When he came back, he saw Jessica Felton sitting in a daze in front of the makeup mirror.
Ronan went over and held her shoulders from behind: "What's the matter?"
Jessica Felton was staring at herself in the mirror for a while before she said: "Ronan, do you think I have changed?"
Ronan took a step back and looked carefully through the mirror: "Your chest seems to be smaller than before? Is this my illusion?"
Jessica Felton had the urge to roll her eyes, pointed to the corner of her eye and said, "Have you seen it? Can you see the crow's feet."
Ronan moved forward again and looked carefully for a while before he said, "Where is it? I can't see it."
This insignificant crow's feet pattern is a normal natural law of human beings.
Jessica Felton sighed slightly: "This shows that I am also getting old."
Even a career woman like Jessica Felton still cares about her looks.
Ronan remembers very clearly. When I first met Jessica Felton, no matter what the residence was, Jessica Felton was always glamorous in front of others.
Probably only the woman herself can see this wrinkle that can be regarded as non-existent in Ronan's opinion.
Jessica Felton said in a rare heavy tone: "Have we been a little over-raining recently?"
"No, you think too much." Ronan hugged her from behind and said with relief: "This is a normal change of people. We have been in Hollywood for so many years. Isn't it clear that the goddess of immortality never existed. The so-called immortality? It's just the result of cosmetics and knives."
Jessica Felton thought of the zombie faces and said, "It's horrible to use a knife in the face."
Ronan smiled, and said with relief: "Wrinkles are not the gift of time? With your natural beauty, you can withstand the test of any wrinkles, I think, the faint vicissitudes of age that make you more beautiful This is also the maturity and charm that has been condensed over the years."
Jessica Felton turned around and leaned against Ronan: "You can talk like this."
Luo Nan Zhenger said: "Jesse, do you know what is the most romantic thing in my heart?"
Jessica Felton was very cooperative and asked, "What?"
Ronan said affectionately: "We grow old together."
Upon hearing this, Jessica Felton hugged Ronan tightly, obviously affected by the atmosphere: "I... Ronan, I am emotional, we are late and all right, right?"
Ronan hugged her directly: "My dear, we are absent from work today."
In the first week of June, after more than a month of see-saw negotiations, as the release date of "The Dark Knight" is approaching step by step, and the popularity of the film continues to rise, Warner Bros. has invested in the new "Batman" series of films. Income and other matters finally reached an agreement with Relativity Entertainment.
According to the agreement between the two parties Relativity Entertainment will automatically give up all investment and revenue sharing rights for the subsequent sequels of the new "Batman" movie including "The Dark Knight Rises".
The two Batman movies that participated in the investment, "The Hour of War", the box office and all peripheral revenue sharing, until the end of this year.
The box office of "The Dark Knight" is divided into all the surroundings, as of the end of 2008.
Of course, the premise of the latter is that Warner Bros. must follow the established distribution strategy to push "The Dark Knight" into the global film market on schedule.
The subsequent "Batman" sequel movie has nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.
In order to reach this agreement and recover all the rights and interests of the "Batman" movie, Warner Bros. also paid a high price to Relativity Entertainment.
First, all the remake rights of the two old films "Cry of the Clown" and "The Birth of a Star", and then the right to adapt the suicide squad including Harley Quinn and the surrounding characters of DC Comics.
This certainly does not involve famous characters such as Batman and the Joker.
As one of the three giants of justice, Wonder Woman, there is no certainty about the copyright.
Finally, Relativity Entertainment won another 20 million US dollars in cash compensation from Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
With the huge influence of the new "Batman" series and the predictable revenue capability, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. can't say who earns and loses, they can only say what they want.
From the first weekend of June, Embassy Pictures will promote the release of two films this month, namely "Cars 2" and "Teddy Bear".
