Chapter 141: Heavyweight news

　　Looking at Leonardo DiCaprio on the opposite side, Ronan had a feeling that compared to the last time we met, Leonardo seemed to have changed.
　　 The 1.8 billion actor is missing.
　　 is like the bright feathers of a peacock blooming on the screen, all closed.
　　 The former Leonardo DiCaprio was the kind of person who wanted to be a bride at every wedding and a corpse at every funeral. He wanted to be the focus of the world.
　　 Leonardo is a bit close to the little plum in Ronan's memory.
　　 "Ronan, congratulations." Leonardo said flatly: "Another film is a big box office."
　　 "Thank you." Ronan smiled lightly.
　　 This is the first time that the two sides get along with each other in a peaceful state of mind. After Leonardo experienced the great success of the Titanic, it took more than a year to finally mature.
　　 Of course, it’s impossible to make Leonardo apologize for what happened before.
　　 Luo Nanping responds peacefully. The two sides can't be friends, nor can they face each other without meeting. After all, the two have no direct conflict of interest.
　　 Leonardo introduced the person next to him: "Ronan, this is Toby, Toby Maguire. Toby, this is Ronan, Ronan Anderson."
　　 Ronan shook hands with the future Peter Parker, smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you."
　　 Toby Maguire also smiled and said, "We were almost able to cooperate."
　　 Ronan politely said: "In the future, there will be opportunities."
　　 Although the conflict did not recur, the two parties were far from being friends. After a few casual words, they separated.
　　 I met Peter Parker and Mary Jane consecutively all night, which is quite interesting to think about.
　　 Ronan continued to mix his face in the banquet hall, and chatted with Kenneth Turan, a well-known film critic of the Los Angeles Times, and Todd McCarthy, a film critic of the Hollywood Reporter. The views of the two sides on the film were obviously not on the same channel.
　　 But Ronan is also going to participate in the Oscar game in the future, it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with these professional film critics.
If you are only engaged in commercial films in the future, you don’t need to pay attention to these guys. Professional film critics have less and less influence on commercial films. Even in the era of social networks, professional film critics’ right to speak in commercial films will be excluded to the extreme. The location of the edge.
　　 Later, the Hollywood Reporter directly fired Todd McCarthy, his signature film critic, which caused a big riot among professional film critics, but unfortunately it was unable to change the decline of the industry.
　　 But the awards season is the home of film critics, even twenty years later.
　　 Ronan exchanged business cards with Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy, exchanged polite greetings, and went to other places.
　　 Soon, he found a better goal.
　　 The famous Steven Spielberg will have no one else by his side, Ronan hastily walked over.
　　 "Hello, Mr. Spielberg." Ronan smiled and introduced himself: "I am Ronan Anderson..."
　　 Hollywood news spread very fast. Spielberg had heard Ronan’s name and shook hands with him, and said: "Human Removal Project and the producer of Reaper, the president of Relativity Entertainment?"
　　Although he has a mediocre impression of this person, at the point of Spielberg, he pays great attention to his image in public.
　　 Ronan smiled, "It's me."
　　 Spielberg looks like a good old man, and his words sound very peaceful: "Two very good horror films, Mr. Anderson is young and promising."
　　 "Just call me Ronan." Ronan drew closer without a trace. "You have always been my favorite director. I have watched Saving Private Ryan more than ten times. The role of Captain Miller is too shocking."
　　 When facing Tom Cruise, he said that Tom Cruise was the most favorite influence. When facing Spielberg, the same is true. Ronan has no psychological barriers at all.
Ronan deliberately touched on the topic of saving Private Ryan: "I heard that you let the actors specialize in military training for this film for a month?" Seeing Spielberg nodding, he said again: "The actors too very impressive."
　　Most Hollywood stars are more dedicated and hardworking. Even Tom Cruise, who was very unreliable later, is a fifty-year-old man. He even completed the difficult action scene himself and injured his leg bone.
Of course, Hollywood has no shortage of lines saying "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." and other weird works, but this kind of people tend to become popular quickly and become depressed quickly. Usually, they will be affected by the market in two or three years. Abandoned by the audience.
　　Without a market, there is naturally no value in the eyes of the production company.
　　 Spielberg thought it was normal: "This is what actors should do."
　　 Ronan said at the right time: "I also bought a set of V suits with highlights, but unfortunately I didn't bring it today, otherwise I must ask for your signature."
　　 behaves very much like Spielberg’s fanboy.
　　 Spielber said casually: "Next time you can bring it, we will see you again."
Ronan laughed happily, and then asked: "Not only the film, I have watched the film's tidbits many times." He seemed to be a familiarity: "I saw the film's tidbits saying that Save Private Ryan premiered. At that time, a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division presented Stephen Ambrose's company of brothers to you and Mr. Hanks. I have also read this documentary. Are you going to adapt the company of brothers?"
　　 "Yes." Spielberg didn't need to deny this semi-public news, and said, "I plan to make a miniseries."
　　 Ronan asked again: "When will it be launched? I can't wait."
　　 Spielberg replied: "It’s early
Well, there are still many unsolved problems in the project. "
　　 "Have you encountered difficulties?" Ronan asked again.
　　 Spielberg glanced at him and realized that this was not a casual question, and he was unknowingly led by the other party.
　　 "Financial issue." Spielberg was not an ordinary person, as if he hadn't noticed it, and continued: "This is a war theme and requires a lot of money."
　　 He wanted to see what purpose Ronan Anderson had.
　　 Ronan is a test: "Several films under the theory of relativity sell well, and I have idle funds in my hands."
The meaning of this kind of temptation is very obvious. Spielberg can’t fail to hear it. Ronan doesn’t worry about this. The DreamWorks stalls are too big. The flow of funds has become more and more difficult in the past two years. , Lack of interest in miniseries.
　　 It would be ideal if Spielberg was willing to accept his funds.
　　 Ronan said again: "If you need help, just speak up."
　　 Spielberg fully understood the meaning of Ronan's words, this young man wanted to invest in Brotherhood.
　　 But funds from within the circle are not the preferred choice of DreamWorks. Companies in the circle understand the operating rules of the industry. Where are the investment from outside the circle easier to use?
　　 Besides, where did the money in Ronan Anderson's hand come from? Although there are not many related rumors, he has also heard of some.
　　 "No need." Spielberg directly refused: "This little problem can be solved by DreamWorks."
　　 There may be funds contaminated with Arabs, how can DreamWorks easily use it?
　　 Even for him, David Geffen, and Jeff Katzenberg, it doesn’t matter whether the source of funds is Arab or Israel. As long as the business is profitable, they still have to pay attention to the opinions of some people.
　　 Ronan didn't entangle him, just said: "It's a pity."
　　 In the face of a person of Spielberg's level, it is useless to be entangled, Ronan made a few more polite words and took the initiative to leave.
　　 The result of this trial was not unexpected.
　　 Ronan can guess that Spielberg may have doubts about the source of his funds.
　　The funds of insiders are no better than the investment of outsiders.
　　 Ronan sighed. It is a bit difficult to invest in Brother Company through normal channels. Few people in Hollywood can force Spielberg.
　　 was directly rejected by Spielberg, Ronan could only shake his head, wondering if he could grab several popular projects from DreamWorks in the future?
　　 "Vivendi Group has completed the acquisition of Universal Pictures, and will subsequently divest some non-performing assets..."
　　 Hearing this, Ronan hurriedly looked to the left and found that it was the famous producer Frank Marshall who was speaking: "Universal won Polygram this year, and Universal Music became the world's number one record company in one fell swoop."
　　 Someone asked, "Where is Polygram's film business company?"
　　 Ronan stopped and stood nearby listening.
Anyone who knows a little about the recording industry knows the name Polygram, but there is also a film and entertainment company under Polygram~EbookFREE.me~. Ronan has heard of this, because he was influenced by the fact that Polygram was a record Not much is known about the influence of the company's concept.
Frank Marshall added: "Universal Pictures only purchased Polygram's recording business this year, and merged with Universal Music after the acquisition. It is currently negotiating the acquisition with Polygram Entertainment, and it's just about signing a contract. Vivendi The group has reached an agreement with Philips, the largest shareholder of Polygram Pictures, and it is estimated to be completed this month."
　　 "Universal Pictures has become stronger." Another sighed.
"This deal is very involved, and it was the senior management of Universal Pictures that prompted Vivendi and Philips to reach an agreement." Frank Marshall continued: "Universal Pictures fancy Polykin's film library, four weddings and one funeral, The copyrights for films like Very Suspect, Train Guessing and Notting Hill are alluring."
　　 Hearing this, Ronan moved in his heart, took a few steps forward, and interjected: "Where is the distribution department of PolyGram Films?"
　　 Frank Marshall looked at him and found that he didn’t know him, but he still said:
Universal Pictures has a comprehensive distribution channel in North America and overseas. Polygram’s distribution department is not very useful to them, so it should be disbanded.

　　 Ronan discussed with them for a while, and after exchanging business cards, he immediately left the banquet hall, and then called Robert Lee and Garcia Rodriguez.
　　 This party didn't come in vain. In addition to getting acquainted with many stars, directors and producers, I also got such a heavyweight news!
