Chapter 594: I picked it up

In Relativity Entertainment, Ronan sent away the Nolan couple who had come on a special trip, returned to the office, sat on a chair, picked up a teacup and drank slowly.
The six major companies are really in harmony.
Twentieth Century Fox approached Christopher Nolan, really just to value him as a director?
Don't be kidding, Nolan is not yet a great after "The Dark Knight", at best he is only a second-line director, and even "Batman: Hour of War" that really brought him some influence has not yet been released.
It is definitely for relativity entertainment, and it can only be for relativity entertainment.
Two days ago, Garcia Rodriguez had just received news that Mel Gibson was cooperating with Walt Disney on "Revelation", starting with the release of "The Passion", except for the Stallone and Robert Downey Jr. Old friends, almost all people around Mel Gibson are related to Disney.
Having said that, Disney did not deliberately intend to keep it secret, just treating it as a trivial matter.
They only need to push it from behind without expending much effort. Embassy Pictures needs to spare time and energy to go to court with Mel Gibson.
First, Paramount Pictures, then Walt Disney, and now 20th Century Fox.
DreamWorks’ shield is no longer good, and Hollywood’s top powers will no longer ignore Relativity Entertainment.
These methods that conform to the rules of the game do not seem to be particularly powerful, but DreamWorks’ experience tells Ronan that once close to the second-tier leaders of Hollywood’s six major companies, it was in the continuous small troubles of the six major companies that they eventually fell into Six major downstream film providers that provide content production.
Hollywood competition is everywhere, and there is a lot of competition among the big six, but they will not be so tacitly aimed at a certain film company.
Even if DreamWorks, which has obtained the distribution channel, is sharing the firepower for Relativity Entertainment, Relativity Entertainment is still very passive.
Frankly speaking, Ronan also wanted to take the initiative to knock down the six major companies and solve the problem once and for all.
But this is obviously impossible. Relativity Entertainment currently does not have this kind of strength. Once a full-scale battle with a company that is stronger than its own, the momentum of rapid development will inevitably stop.
I am afraid that the six major companies continue to spur Relativity Entertainment, and they have not let him, a young man, take the initiative to attack on impulse, thus revealing flaws, so as to defeat Relativity Entertainment in one fell swoop.
Relativity entertainment is still focused on development. The experience of a certain big country fully proves the accuracy of this path.
Ronan knew very well that he had to wait and wait for a real good opportunity, and then beat one of the six major players to a beating, fully proving the strength of Relativity Entertainment, so that others would not dare to easily make these messy things in the future.
Now of course it is mainly defensive, but pure defensiveness is not enough, and appropriate counterattacks must be carried out.
It is also necessary to create some trouble for those companies that are constantly looking for relativity entertainment, so as not to put all the trouble-making energy on relativity entertainment.
Ronan pressed the intercom and called Connie in.
"What's going on with Apple and Steve Jobs recently." Ronan is now also a minority shareholder of Apple: "Is there any feedback on the latest situation?"
Connie thought about it and said: "Steve Jobs just held a press conference last month, announcing that Apple will launch a new home computer iMacG5."
Ronan doesn't know which machine this model refers to, and guesses it might be an all-in-one machine.
"Tell San Francisco over there." Ronan directly ordered: "Always pay attention to the development of Apple, Steve Jobs and Pixar studios, and the time when relevant reports are summarized on your side, adjusted from once a week to once a day."
Connie wrote it down immediately: "Okay."
Ronan said again: "I want you to follow James Cameron's news. Where is he now?"
"The report two days ago indicated that Director James Cameron has not returned." Connie recalled, "He is also shooting a documentary in the North Atlantic."
Ronan said: "When James Cameron returns to Los Angeles, he will notify me immediately. No, you personally contact James Cameron and say that I am very interested in the 3D shooting technology he is developing and testing. If he The conditions over there allow, I want to observe the shooting application of the new 3D technology on the spot."
Connie nodded: "Okay, I'm going to contact Director Cameron's assistant."
Ronan waved his hand. Before Connie left, he remembered one more thing: "Is Robert in the company? If you are, you tell him to come over."
Connie went out of the office and went to call in person.
Two minutes later, Robert Lee hurried into Ronan's office.
"Who currently holds the copyright of Deadpool?" Ronan asked directly.
Robert Lee thought for a while, and said: "Originally, Artisan Pictures bought the rights to Deadpool, but then Marvel and X-Men sold it to Twentieth Century Fox. Fox probably has no plans to adapt for the time being."
Ronan slowly tapped the armrest of the chair: "Think of a way to see if you can get the copyright of Deadpool. Also, you often contact Avi-Allard, go to New York, and go to Twenty Century Fox’s troubles, regardless of revenue sharing or copyright, cannot be made easy for 20th Century Fox. We must find something for 20th Century Fox to do."
Robert Lee asked: "Twentieth Century Fox is asking us trouble?"
"I want to dig our project." Ronan said directly: "You try to do it."
Robert Lee said immediately: "I will try my best."
Ronan said: "If Marvel Comics can match Twentieth Century Fox, we may have a chance. I will ask Bob to form a team."
Robert Lee immediately thought that this is not just about making trouble for 20th Century Fox. Is Ronan planning a big action?
There was one person left in the office. Ronan thought about it. In addition to the "Avatar" and "X-Men" series, what other high-profit movies will be available in the 20th Century Fox?
After Robert Lee left, Ronan recalled carefully, "Alien", "Predator", "Wolverine", "Rise of the Apes" and "Fantastic Four" don't have to think about them. These are the ace IPs of 20th Century Fox. , The difficulty of buying copyright is no less than the direct acquisition of 20th Century Fox itself.
It seems that the potatoes on Mars were also planted by Fox in the 20th century, which can allow Shahai Entertainment to speed up the progress by planting potatoes on Mars first.
Ronan then specifically greeted George Clint and asked more about the dynamics of Shahai Entertainment's film projects. Most of Shahai Entertainment's projects are the company's purchase of copyright, and then an external director directed and filmed. Don't worry too much about the project being poached.
If other film projects are easy to dig, Twentieth Century Fox will not target Christopher Nolan, the newly famous director.
As for the sequel movie project, don't worry, as long as Relativity Entertainment does not want to sell the copyright, other companies have no choice.
Like Ang Lee, there is no such trouble as Christopher, because of the failure of "Hulk", not only did no one try to dig him, but he needs to work hard to persuade other actors to star in his new movie.
Coupled with the subject matter of the movie, the difficulty is even greater.
In the office on the tenth floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, Jack Gerenhill looked around curiously, seeming to be sure whether it was the office of Ang Lee and Brokeback Mountain.
"What to drink, Jack?" Li Ang asked politely: "Coffee or black tea?"
Jack Jelenhill waved his hand quickly: "No, thank you."
As the host, Ang Lee poured him a glass of water, sat on the sofa next to him, and asked, "Jack, how are you thinking about the role of Drizzt?"
Jack Jalenhill was quite hesitant and hesitant: "Frankly speaking, the script is great, but the character..." He shook his head: "My family all opposed me being in this film."
Ang Lee asked directly: "Because this is a character?"
Jack Gyllenhill smiled, but did not answer, not only because of the role, but also because the director is Ang Lee.
Everyone knows that Li Angang messed up a super production, and the prospects for a new movie project are worrying...
Besides, it is still such a sensitive subject.
Ang Lee, who should be talking about, talked to Jack Jaylenhill last time, knowing that it is useless to continue to say these, but can only come up with a killer: "Jack, "Brokeback Mountain" is a movie project of Shahai Entertainment."
"I know." Jack Jalenhill pretended to be relaxed: "You said it last time."
Ang Li smiled: "In the beginning, this was not my project, but after Shahai Entertainment launched it, it hired me as the director."
Jack-Jalen Hill was a little surprised. He had always thought that this was the cooperation between Ang Lee who persuaded Shahai Entertainment and then the double hair.
The films that Shahai Entertainment has initiated in recent years have a terrifying success rate...
Ang Lee no longer goes in circles: "The copyright of Brokeback Mountain was bought by Ronan Anderson on his own order~EbookFREE.me~ The initiator of the project was also Mr. Ronan Anderson, and I also accepted Ronan Anderson. Mr. Ronan-Anderson was invited to serve as the director, and Mr. Ronan Anderson personally served as the producer of this project."
Jack Jalenhill opened his eyes wide in surprise. Who is Ronan Anderson? How many actors do Hollywood actors do not know? He seemed a little unbelievable, confirming: "Director Li, are you talking about Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment Group?"
Ang Li crossed his hands: "It seems that the Relativity Entertainment Group does not have a second Ronan-Anderson." He promised: "This is the Relativity Building, and it will be the headquarters of Relativity Entertainment in a few months. You can verify this at any time. "
Confirming that there was nothing wrong, Jack Gerenhill breathed a little bit quickly, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no." A smile on his young face bloomed: "Director Li, this role, I'll take it!"
"Your family..." Ang Lee wanted to solve all the troubles at once.
Jack Gyllenhill said decisively: "I am responsible for persuading them!"
