Chapter 1045： Change plan

In the office of the Theory of Relativity Building, Ronan looked at the box office bulletin of "The Dark Knight" and nodded with satisfaction.

"According to the agreement we signed with Warner Bros."

George Clint, who came over early in the morning, said at this time: "We can get nearly 50% of the box office and film-related peripheral and derivative revenues of "The Dark Knight". Although as of next year, according to market data, Hai Entertainment’s total online and offline revenue of "The Dark Knight" is about 160 million US dollars."

Ronan reminded: "Supervise well, we may be working directly with Warner Bros. for the last time, so be careful."

George Clint said: "We are not outsiders, let alone small companies. Warner Bros. will not easily break the unwritten tacit understanding between large companies. Of course, we will have no less supervisory measures, from issuing to financials. Participation of professional teams."

There is often cooperation between major Hollywood companies. Although there will never be a lack of intrigue, the basic rules of the game will still be abided by considering various factors.

But no one can guarantee business matters, so Ronan has this reminder.

Relativistic Entertainment’s investment in the "Batman" series has paid off hugely, and it has also received free copyright for at least three movies and tens of millions of dollars in compensation.

"For those three parts of copyright, the script for "Cry Clown" has begun to be written, and director Drew Gundam has officially signed the contract." George Clint said at this time: "The Birth of a Star" and "Suicide Squad"... …"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "George, the script for "Suicide Squad" has also started. It doesn't matter if it is simple, the focus is on the character of Harlequin. I will release this project when I get the right opportunity."

George Clint asked, "The right opportunity?"

Ronan said: "It depends on the comic superhero movies of Warner Bros. and DC Comics."

Sometimes, a bad comic superhero movie, even if it sells at the box office, may be due to the poor reputation of the audience, which drags down the same series of works.

"Suicide Squad" is not a Marvel comics work, but a DC comics.

According to the regulations that must be implemented in the industry, whether it is for publicity or the film itself, once this work is adapted, it must be branded with a clear DC comic.

George Clint didn't wait much, he had a lot of things to do himself, and soon left.

Ronan called Vinci and asked, "How is the person I asked you to find?"

"There are suitable candidates." Finch replied: "The corresponding training in electronics is currently underway, and it will be available next month."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "Jessica's safety must be guaranteed."

Finch reminded: "You'd better talk to Miss Felton about this in advance, so that she can be prepared."

"I know." Ronan smiled: "I have talked to Jesse for a while, she is a very good communicator."

Since he chose Jessica Felton, and the relationship between the two began to be widely known, Ronan also worried that some people would hit Jessica Felton on his body, which he absolutely could not accept.

Therefore, he prepared professional female security personnel for Jessica Felton.

There are many things, it is always good to be prepared.

At noon, Ronan joined Robert Iger and other company executives to formally entertained the visiting team from the East China Film Group.

Since last week, China Film has been discussing the copyright authorization of the film library with Relativity Entertainment. The differences between the two parties can be said to be relatively large.

It is probably that China Film is still at the stage when Hollywood has just developed the Oriental film market. It hopes to obtain a batch of old movies with a very low or even free license.

But the times have changed. The Oriental film market is developing rapidly. No matter it is Relativity Entertainment or other Hollywood movies, it is impossible to give such favorable terms.

As for the assistant of the mountain sculpture at the banquet, Ronan directly talked about the good friendship between the two sides, and Ronan naturally pushed all of them to Shahai Entertainment.

Of course, you have to talk to specific companies for such specific matters.

China Film also invited Ronan to participate in this year's Pacific Cross-Strait Film Forum, which will be held in the East.

Ronan declined euphemistically. Basically, all the affairs of the East were handed over to the people below. Due to various considerations, there was a time to go there.

Although the cooperation between Relativity Entertainment and Dongfang Company has driven the industry there and even the economic development of some places, strictly speaking, this is still a very pure business behavior of commercial companies.

When I went back in the evening, Ronan told Jessica Felton about security. Jessica Felton knew that Ronan was kind and didn't mean to refuse.

Both of them are adults, so they won’t cause inexplicable things.

Although real life is sometimes bloody, Ronan and Jessica Felton don't want to turn their lives into a **** drama.

In the words of Jessica Felton, there are so many messy things in adult feelings, love if you like it, and separate if you don't like it.

This is a very typical American view of love.

Ronan didn't think there was a problem either, after all, Jessica Felton grew up here.

On Tuesday morning, Scott Swift called and told Ronan that he had an appointment with Mr. Lin from the East and would bring him to the Theory of Relativity Building on Wednesday morning.

Since Ronan talked with Scott last time, he has been thinking about the Eastern Qianlu Group. He also wants to talk to Mr. Lin Jian to see if he has the determination to enter Hollywood in recent years. .

Relativity entertainment wants to continue its rapid development, and to go further in Hollywood, it must use all available favorable factors.

By the way, it seems that the son of this super rich man in the East grew up studying in the United States?

Ronan quickly gave up some thoughts about that young man, because it was completely unnecessary.

In the afternoon, he received Diego Harris, the CEO of DC Comics, who is in charge of the film business of DC Comics, and made a special trip to find Ronan to retrieve the official script of The Dark Knight Rises.

Because Ronan previously served as the first producer of "The Hour of War" and "The Dark Knight", the official final script of the third part has been in his hands.

Both sides made a few polite sentences, and there was nothing to say. Ronan casually asked about the progress of the DC superhero movie project, and Diego Harris said vaguely.

Regardless of whether the two parties have considered it or not, with the release of the Avengers Project movie, DC formulated the Justice League movie plan, and Marvel Comics and DC Comics have become direct competitors.

The competition between the two parties in the film market far exceeds that of the comics market. Unless one of them is acquired by the other, it is impossible to reach a cooperation similar to the Justice League vs. Avengers in comics.

Marvel has been two steps ahead, focusing more on its own plans. Instead, Warner Bros. and DC Comics regard Marvel as a competitor that must be suppressed and hurriedly want to catch up.

This mentality first appeared in the top management of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and then pressed down layer by layer, and quickly reflected the specific implementation of the Justice League universe.

Warner Studios. In the studio where "Green Lantern" is located, Charles Rowan waited until director Martin Campbell had finished shooting for a day before calling him into the office.

Martin Campbell is more than sixty years old. After a busy day, with unconcealable fatigue on his face, he asked: "Charles, I have something to do."

Charles Rowan said, "Sit, Martin, sit down and talk." When Martin Campbell sat down, he said, "Is the shooting going well?"

"Go according to plan." Martin Campbell touched his bald head: "The shooting is not very complicated, and the post-production is more time-consuming."

Charles Rowan said: "Accelerate the progress appropriately and increase the efficiency of the crew as much as possible."

The employer has a request, but Martin Campbell refused directly, and said tactfully: "I will try my best. There is one thing I can guarantee that the film will be completed within the planned time."

Even if it is the planning time, he feels a little nervous, investing in huge projects like this should allow more time for shooting and production.

Charles Rowan gave a light cough and said, "Martin, Warner Bros. has put forward the latest request and plans to release "Green Lantern" in May next year. You must complete all production of this film by the end of March~www.novelhall .com~Martin Campbell couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Isn't it scheduled to be released in July? "

"The sooner it will be shown, the better." Charles Rowan did not hide it: "Green Lantern is not an independent movie. Warner Bros. and DC Comics must consider the entire plan.

Hearing this, Martin Campbell was somewhat dissatisfied: "Initially it was set for next year's holiday file, and then changed to the summer file for July, and now it is in May. Charles, with all due respect, time is too tight!

Charles Rowan slowly said: "I have carefully studied your production plan, and I believe you can finish "Green Lantern" within the time limit."

The other party is the producer, with the support of the production company and the copyright company behind him. Martin Campbell is just a simple director. The power of the two parties is very different. They don't want to withdraw from the crew halfway, so they can only implement the new plan.

Martin Campbell thought about it for a while and said: "Yes, I can finish it on time." But he emphasized: "Charles, this kind of time is already very tight, the crew may work overtime because of this, and the production investment will be corresponding. Increase."

Charles Rowan thought of Kevin Tesohara’s request and said, "There is no problem in this regard."

Martin Campbell said again: "The time cannot be changed, otherwise you just change the director."

"I promise!" Charles Rowan pacified Martin Campbell: "This is the last time to change the plan, and it won't be changed again."

Martin Campbell stood up, ready to leave: "I will go back to work overtime, the plan will be changed, and the rhythm of the crew will also be raised."
