Chapter 276: High-end competition plan

In his previous life, Ronan was a practitioner in the film and television industry on the other side of the Pacific. Some things he saw may not be remembered, but he would be a bit impressed when he was reminded.
For film private equity funds, what he knows most is the relativity entertainment of previous lives, but it was a tragedy.
Like the Melrose platter plan, etc., I have only heard of it, but the specific content is unknown.
There is another, I have heard of the name and the general idea, the Tinder Pacific Fund established by Walt Disney. This foundation mainly invests in the film projects of Walt Disney's three production companies, Disney, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures.
The source of funds for the Tinder Pacific Fund is said to be island countries.
Ronan also doesn't know exactly how to operate it.
I can remember this popular product because he had read some information about film investment funds in his previous life.
Of course, it is impossible for Ronan to remember any substantive content with that kind of browsing view.
This is the cooperation between Walt Disney and the islanders in the future. The Tinder Pacific Fund does not yet know where it is.
Ronan asked people to collect information on financial investment institutions across the Pacific region, and asked the Indian office of Embassy Pictures to try to contact Indian investment institutions.
These are all possible sources of funding.
As for private funds, wait for September 11th.
Thinking of the 9/11 incident, Ronan suddenly found that he had overlooked an extremely important thing, Angela Lindevo was based in New York!
After a brief thought, he dialed Angela Lindevo's phone.
"Ronan?" Angela Lindevo's voice was slightly surprised: "Why did you call me suddenly?"
"Last time you left, I forgot to tell you something." Ronan said with a smile.
Angela Lindevo asked, "What's the matter?"
Ronan gave out the reasons just made up: "I may have a few banquets in early September. Do you have time to come to Los Angeles?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't have time in early September." Angela Lindevo said.
Ronan frowned slightly, considering what to say.
Angela Lindevo’s words came again:
The three major fashion weeks in Europe will begin in early September. I will go to Paris in mid-August to do related preparations, and I may stay in Europe for a long time. "
Ronan stopped thinking about it, and simply said, "It's a coincidence."
After asking a few more about Angela Lindevo's current situation, Ronan hung up the phone, no longer worrying about Angela Lindevo's affairs.
After putting away the phone, he felt that he was thinking too much. Even if Angela Lindevo stayed in New York in a place as big as New York, it would not happen to be near the World Trade Center.
The old fox, Angela Lindevo, had been living well in his previous life.
It seems that care is messy.
Ronan shook his head and realized that he was still a very conscientious man.
There are not many Hollywoods for a good man like me.
…………
On the weekend of Independence Day, Ronan, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Jeff Katzenberg met again on the golf club's golf course to discuss golf skills.
This time, the four did not go to the regular court, but found a swing practice range, saying that they would strengthen their swing technique practice.
Tom Cruise practiced his swing there, and Will Smith stood aside confidently as a coach.
Ronan and Jeff Katzenberg sat under the umbrella and chatted.
"What is the total overseas revenue of "Shrek"?" Jeff Katzenberg asked seemingly casually: "I mean it can be in our hands."
Ronan thought for a while, and said confidently: "The box office plus various offline revenues will be around 200 million US dollars."
Jeff Kasenberg helped his glasses down: "More than I thought."
Ronan told the truth: "It may take two to three years for this income to be actually achieved and received."
The offline income of movies takes time, and it also takes time to pay back. In some inefficient markets, it is normal for taxation issues to delay for a few months.
Jeff Katzenberg didn't care: "DreamWorks Animation Studio finally has a masterpiece."
"Isn't there a "Prince of Egypt" before it?" Ronan was surprised.
Jeff Katzenberg waved his hand: "That film, don't mention it."
Ronan took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Have you named the project in Africa?"
Jeff Kasenberg said: "It was just named "Madagascar" at the beginning of this month. Now it's just a creative idea. I don't even have a script. I really want to start production. How can it be in 2003."
He added: "The production sequence for the sequel of Shrek is ahead of it."
Ronan understands that DreamWorks Animation Studio is not a group of Pixar players. For the company's practical considerations, sequels with guaranteed revenue must be produced first.
It is too early to talk about the overseas release of "Madagascar", Ronan did not mention it, and instead asked: "Are you familiar with Robert Iger?"
"Bob." Jeremy Katzenberg gave Ronan a look and said, "You saw him last time. I have known him for a long time."
Ronan said with regret: "I still want you to invite him out to play golf."
What a clever man Jeff Kasenberg, he immediately understood Ronan's meaning: "You have something to do with Bob?"
Ronan did not deny: "I want to talk to him about something."
Jeff Kasenberg said: "I remember hearing that, Disney sent him to Tokyo."
"Go to the island country?" Ronan was a little surprised.
Jeff Katzenberg picked up his phone and said, "I'll call and ask." He made a call and then said to Ronan: "Bob was sent to Japan on a business trip by Disney last month. Next month Will be back to attend a movie premiere."
Ronan said directly, "Can you ask him to meet?"
Based on the phone call just now, Jeff Katzenberg said: "He may not have time. So let's... I'll get you an invitation letter for the premiere of the movie, and you will meet him yourself."
Ronan nodded: "It's okay." He asked, "What movie premiere."
Jeff Katzenberg said casually: "The Princess Diaries, this is a movie project led by Bob's entertainment department."
Tom Cruise's shout came over at this moment: "Ronan, Jerefer, what are you doing? Come and practice!"
Ronan took a sip, took the club and walked over, standing on the batting position next to Tom Cruise, pressing the automatic ball feeder, and a small white ball immediately appeared on the ball position.
He twisted his waist and shook his arm, swinging his club heavily and hitting the ball. The white ball drew a wonderful parabola and landed on the distant lawn.
"Good!" Will Smith applauded: "Ronan's technique has improved a lot!"
Jeff Katzenberg lowered his glasses and also hit the ball with his swing. The ball fell to the ground just after it flew out.
"Hey..." Jeff Kasenberg shook his head straight: "It seems that my skills are going to be the bottom."
Tom Cruise said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, Jereffer. Don't watch Ronan hit the ball far, but his accuracy is poor. You forget, he is the famous Mr. Sandpit and Pond."
Will Smith laughed loudly with his charming ears on.
Ronan was plausible: "I am a beginner, so I am like you, a group of old drivers."
"Cut!" Will Smith said disdainfully: "Let us find reasons less. We are masters!"
Ronan shook his head, pretending to be profound: "You don't even know the highest level of golf into the hole, so you say you are a master?"
Tom Cruise was surprised: "The highest level? What is this?"
Ronan lowered his head to practice, and didn't take Tom Cruise at all.
Now even Will Smith and Jeff Katzenberg were curious, and asked: "Ronan, the highest level you mentioned refers to the technical level of Tiger Woods?"
Ronan waved his hand: "Tiger Woods's realm is far behind."
The three people became more curious, and couldn't help but urge them to ask: "Don't sell it, just say it!"
Ronan confirmed: "Do you really want to listen?"
"of course."
"You can't imitate after listening."
"Don't worry, you won't imitate."
Seeing the curious look of the three of them, Ronan lowered his voice and said, "It's too easy to get into a hole in an ordinary hole. If you change to a beauty..."
After the three listened, Will Smith scratched his signature ears and said, "What you said makes sense, Ronan. The difficulty of what we practiced is really too low."
Tom Cruise squeezed his chin: "This kind of practice is desirable."
Jeff Kasenberg nodded slightly: "So golf can still be played like this."
Ronan warned: "Don't force yourself, don't force people."
Will Smith snorted coldly, and said, "Am I the kind of dishonest person? It's boring to force. Tell you, 10,000 dollars a ball, some women grab it."
Tom Cruise took up his club, and since his divorce, he has begun to let himself go: "I think the four of us should find a suitable time and venue to hold such a high-profile game!"
"I participated in ~EbookFREE.me~ Will Smith is the first to echo.
Ronan and Jeff Katzenberg will certainly not object to this kind of game that can deepen the relationship between small teams.
Leaving Tom Cruise to discuss the details with the enthusiastic Jeff Kasenberg, Ronan came to Will Smith and asked: "I heard that Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay are ready to start. Prepared for "Jedi Men 2"?"
Will Smith nodded and said: "The preparatory meeting has already been held, and I have talked with Michael Bay and Jerry several times in detail."
Ronan asked: "I also heard that Jerry Bruckheimer is preparing a treasure hunt film project with Disney?"
"You mean "National Treasure"?" Will Smith obviously knows more: "A legendary theme about the treasure of the Knights Templar."
Hearing this, Ronan relaxed. It seems that the existence of the script and copyright of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has affected Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer.
