Chapter 241: Wrong encounter

　　 In the reception room of the Embassy Pictures, Ronan met Lee Ang, a director who was once downhearted in Hollywood. Now he is energetic, as if he has reached the culmination of his career.
　　 Ronan asked: "I heard that Director Ang Lee returned to the East some time ago?"
　　 "I went back." Ang Lee returned home in good clothes and came to Hollywood again, with a very different mood: "The two sides of the strait have left, the fans are too enthusiastic."
　　 He seemed to be very emotional: "I also met some colleagues and discussed some film-related matters."
　　 Ronan nodded, Ang Lee’s mood he could fully understand, the Oscar was added, and with the prevailing conditions in this era, the treatment Ang Lee could receive must be grand and grand.
　　 It is not an exaggeration to say that he is touted as the first person in the Chinese film circle.
　　 "Have you seen Director Zhang?" Ronan said a name.
　　 At the Oscars award ceremony, Yu Jiaolong once conveyed that the other party seemed to want to meet him.
　　 Li Ang said: "I have seen it and talked for a while, as if he is going to make a martial arts movie." He shook his head: "That's not good. He is a master of literary and artistic films and should not follow suit."
　　 Ronan was noncommittal, saying: "Actually, the commercial film circles all over the world are the same. A film is a big success, and works follow suit."
　　 Ang Lee is already a completely Hollywood director. Of course, knowing this, he can only sigh lightly.
　　 After listening to Li Ang's words, Luo Nan gradually determined what Yu Jiaolong's words might represent. Maybe Yu Jiaolong didn't understand it himself, but as a person who came by, he naturally understood the Oscar plot of Zhang Guoshi.
　　The big commercial era of oriental movies is finally about to begin.
　　 Regardless of the reputation or quality of the martial arts movie, no matter what Zhang Guoshi’s original intention was, it ultimately contributed to the rise of the Oriental film market.
　　 Also after this movie, the Eastern film industry and film market began to enter the fast lane of development.
　　Unfortunately, the sharing clause will not be re-signed until after 2010. The 13% sharing ratio for the introduction of shared-account movies is really too low.
　　 In due course, can you unite the power of Hollywood to push for a revised agreement?
Ronan believes that the difficulty is very difficult, at least it is difficult now. Hollywood's film division over there has never been a problem of the film industry, but a part of the WTO agreement between the two countries. It involves the political and economic game between the two countries, which can be said to be a tie. Start the whole body.
　　A single person, or even a group, can play a very limited role in it.
　　 can only wait for now.
　　 However, Zhang Guoshi’s masterpiece can be considered. If you have time in the future, you can go there and take a tour to inspect the market and visit overseas offices.
　　 Luo Nan thought while chatting with Ang Lee without a word, and the topic soon came to Ang Lee's new movie.
　　 "I don't know if Director Li has a new work plan?" Ronan asked directly: "I heard that Universal Pictures is in contact with Director Li?"
　　 These are all news from Hollywood, and they will not touch personal privacy.
　　 Ang Lee said with a smile: "I plan to take a one-month rest." He did not deny contact with Universal Pictures: "People from Universal Pictures are indeed talking to me and want me to direct a major production."
　　 Ronan asked curiously: "Can you know which subject or content it is?"
　　Universal Pictures has not requested confidentiality, and the news is released to preheat the hype. Ang Lee said directly: "A comic-based movie, "The Hulk."
　　 Hearing this name, Ronan felt that way, and asked: "Are you going to take this job as a director?"
　　 Li Ang thought for a while, and felt that there is nothing to say: "The big framework has been discussed, and there are still some details about the remaining details that have not been agreed with Universal Pictures."
　　 "A movie adapted from a comic..." Ronan originally wanted to remind.
　　 But thinking about the movie rights of the bunch of Marvel superheroes in my hand, as well as future plans, I endured it again.
　　 Ang Lee didn't say much about the cooperation with Universal Pictures. He chatted with Ronan a few more about movies, and soon left the Embassy Pictures.
　　 Ronan watched Ang Lee leave and sat on the sofa with question marks all over his head. He didn’t know who Ang Lee and Universal Pictures had pitted him on the "Hulk" project.
　　 In literary terms, it means that the two sides had a wrong encounter at the wrong time and place.
　　 In the eyes of many Orientals, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not an excellent work compared to Ang Lee's early "Wedding Banquet", "Pushing Hands", and "Eating Men and Women".
　　 Therefore, everything that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has gained in North America has largely exceeded the imagination and expectations of the East. Perhaps the "cultural differences" can be summed up in the East.
　　 It may be the "cultural difference", or maybe the Oscar halo obscured the others. Universal Pictures decided to let an oriental art director operate an American commercial comic film.
　　 It is undeniable that Ang Lee has its own advantages, such as being able to shape the characters more delicately on the basis of retaining the Hollywood model, and at the same time bring some fresh perspectives different from Hollywood.
　　 But Ang Lee was unable to accurately find the balance between commercial and personal style within Hollywood's more commercial system.
　　In the last years of Ronan's past life, how to make a comic superhero movie to explode, I am afraid that many ordinary fans can say some consensus.
　　 Such as compact rhythms, exquisite special effects, hot scenes, continuous and bursts that excite the audience.
　　 These are exactly contrary to Li Ang's personal style.
Under the weight of 　　, Ang Lee only preserved his personal style, but couldn't take care of other things.
　　 In previous lives, there is another saying: Li Ankeng has taken Universal Pictures.
Universal Pictures gave Ang Lee full trust, tremendous power, and even the power that is infinitely close to the final editing rights. As a result, Ang Lee created a popular commercial film with a strong personal style, made an author movie, and then patted and left. , Leaving Universal Pictures a mess.
　　 This statement is definitely not reliable. The director cherishes his reputation. Thinking about the situation of Ang Lee after the failure of "The Hulk", he also knows that he cannot do it deliberately.
　　 But Ang Lee did make "The Hulk" an author movie.
　　Long, serious, and without a lot of action scenes that people expect, it is not comfortable after watching, there is no excitement of "superhero saved us, I am full of positive energy"
　　 Maybe Ang Lee doesn't want to shoot a superhero at all. He just wants to shoot how an unfortunate man is torn apart by his grotesque ability and focus on expressing this absurdity.
　　 As a result, Ang Lee fell miserably, and Universal Pictures was also miserable. Marvel, who originally wanted to follow the autumn wind, once again doubted life.
　　 The adaptation of "Spider-Man" is successful, and the adaptation range is also very large. Marvel feels that its own hero is not inferior to Batman, and there is still a market.
　　 In a blink of an eye, "Hulk" hit the street, Marvel was surprised, and the hero in the movie market was not very good.
　　 It is said that Marvel’s top management can get up from countless blows, and finally press almost all the chips to gamble on "Iron Man". The nerves are really not ordinary tough.
　　 From Ronan’s point of view, the collaboration between Ang Lee and Universal Pictures can be summed up in one sentence: Ang Lee took the superhero the Hulk and made a literary feature film.
　　 If it’s ten years in the evening, some people might say that the angle is unique and it won’t be so miserable.
　　 Ronan did not mix the cooperation between Universal Pictures and Ang Lee, let alone prevent Universal Pictures from contacting Ang Lee, and he has no reason to stop it.
　　 Probably Ang Lee also needs a wider audience theme, and it hits off with Universal Pictures. In early April, he signed a formal director contract with Universal Pictures on the "Hulk".
　　Universal Pictures also announced the schedule of "The Hulk" while the Lee Ann Oscar effect was still there. This comic superhero movie was initially scheduled to be released in the summer of 2003.
　　 A little more than two years is left to Ang Lee for planning, shooting and post-production.
　　 Ronan can only say that he is looking forward to the day when "The Hulk" is released. After all, only then can it be possible to get the copyright of the Hulk from Universal Pictures.
　　 Even like Marvel in the previous life, it’s okay to just get part of the copyright, the big deal is not to make the independent movie of the Hulk.
　　 Directors are relatively scarce resources in Hollywood, and Ronan’s Shahai Entertainment has also identified a director candidate.
　　 "Reaper is Coming 2" after going through some twists and turns, it is determined that Gilmour del Toro, who completed "Fatal Turn", will be in charge of the tube.
　　Because the movie market will inevitably be impacted in the second half of the year, this sequel was postponed by Ronan until next year.
　　 According to the release schedule released by Embassy Pictures, under Ronan’s invisible intervention, no film will be released after September.
　　 Basically all the screening plans are scheduled in the first half of the year.
"House of the Dead" in late April, "Shrek" overseas release in mid-May, "The Bourne" in June, "Fatal Corner" in July~EbookFREE.me~In early August, the film department purchased from overseas Two small productions of the entry.
　　Since April, Embassy Pictures will release movies every month, most of which involve North American and overseas releases.
　　 Also in early April, Ronan saw a memorable name on the "New York Times" bestseller list sent by his assistant Connie, "Summer in Jeans."
　　 Ronan saw the title of the book and thought of related movies, the famous "S Queen" Blake Lively's famous work.
　　 asked someone to check the copyright. The film and television adaptation rights of the novel were still in the hands of the author. Ronan immediately notified Robert Lee and asked him to add the name "Jeans in Summer" to the copyright purchase list.
　　 Now that he has gained something, Ronan pays more attention to the "New York Times" bestseller list. Maybe he can continue to see him on it and ignore it, but he can see the movie whose name reminds me.
　　 The weekend came, and the work at hand was temporarily set aside. Ronan made an appointment with the real estate agent and was going to see the house.
This is owner-occupied housing. You must not go overseas to buy it. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to commute to and from get off work, and Ronan has some funds in his hands, not to mention the income of the producer and company positions, but the script provided by the screenwriter. There is not only buyout income, but also subsequent copyright sharing income.
　　 What Ronan provides to the company is of course not free, even if it is a company that he completely controls.
