Chapter 286: Legend of the Melee Mage

Of these two foundations, one is entirely owned by Ronan, called the Anderson Foundation, which is mainly engaged in financial and securities investment businesses. The source of investment funds is also Ronan's personal fundraising.
The other is called Pacific Film Foundation, which is a partner. For the time being, there are only two partners, Ronan and Tony Koch. The main business is film production investment, and the source of investment funds is publicly raised.
The former Ronan can start operations as long as he completes the capital injection, while the latter has a long way to find capital.
Scott is currently in charge of the two foundations.
In addition, the two offshore foundations registered in the Cayman Islands have also entered the planning stage. Lawyer Diane has contacted international intermediaries and will complete the registration within this year.
Ronan's personal funds began to be transferred to the Anderson Foundation, waiting for the bottom hunt after 9/11.
Regarding the Pacific Film Foundation, Ronan personally made several phone calls with Tony Koch, and Tony Koch will help promote the film investment foundation in Germany.
Shahai Entertainment is about to get involved in major Hollywood productions. The production cost of each film will be as high as 100 million US dollars. This also means a large amount of capital investment. Relativity entertainment has limited cash flow, and it is impossible to smash its own liquidity. In film production, it is necessary to seek foreign investment.
Ronan plans to wait until September before going to India, and if there is progress in the Tokyo office of Embassy Pictures, he will also go to the island countries.
There is also South Korea, you can also try to raise funds there.
Hollywood movies are still quite attractive for Japanese and South Korean funds. Otherwise, after the previous life of Robert Iger came to power, Disney will not come up with a Pacific Tinder Film Foundation that absorbs investment from island countries.
In fact, since the early 1990s, behind the Hollywood film budget, you can see the shadow of Japanese and South Korean funds, and DreamWorks has a close relationship with South Korea’s Samsung Group and the Lee family.
The two countries understand Hollywood, and many people are also investing in Hollywood, which also helps attract investment.
When Ronan asked Scott to establish a foundation, he had already collected relevant information. He also knew the names and general information of some financial institutions in Japan and South Korea that had invested in Hollywood.
Only with goals can we make targeted plans.
Hollywood is taking the road of internationalization, which includes funding sources for filming and producing movies.
Of course, Ronan knows very well that to absorb funds from these countries, you must do things in accordance with the contract and Hollywood's consistent rules. Otherwise, if your reputation is bad, it will not only cause a lot of trouble, but also affect the next step of financing.
Relativity Entertainment has passed the most difficult stage. Ronan has no plans to do messy things in this regard. Hollywood’s inherent rules are already very beneficial to filmmakers.
At the same time, Ronan once again seriously considered whether or not to stop by the East. "The Bourne Shadow" has already been screened there. With Hollywood's reputation and the social situation there, the Film Foundation will definitely be able to absorb The capital of the east country, even hundreds of millions, is not a problem.
And he will play this money-out game according to the rules, so naturally there is no question of whether or not it is pitted. Everyone just follows the rules.
The only concern is the rampant beast, after all, there is no reason to say.
If you say you can do it, you can do it, or you can’t do it; if you say you can’t do it, you can’t do it, no matter what.
Let's talk about the situation at that time.
Ronan can only think so. If he can get enough funds elsewhere, he doesn't need to go to the East. In case something happens, it will affect the future review of Scissors.
There is no clear standard for Big Scissors. When it says you can't do it, self-examination doesn't know the problem.
In contrast, island countries and South Korea are preferred.
The island country is rich in artists. Who are the famous artists of this era? It seems that time is too far away to remember...
In South Korea, the entertainment industry over there is more interesting. If the Hollywood agency is the service provider, the agency over there is simply the master of the stars.
I heard that they like to let their stars accompany important people or customers...
This set of unspoken rules is still the best played by Koreans. It is no one to force so many actresses to commit suicide.
Ronan felt that if he went to South Korea and, as the owner of a Hollywood studio and a famous producer, he seemed to be a big man, would he be hospitalized there?
Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun...Who else is the famous Korean actress in this era?
Unfortunately, Ronan’s degree of unfamiliarity with the Korean entertainment industry is about the same as that of the island country, and even less familiar with island artists.
By the way, when did the thigh era debut?
This thought just flashed through Ronan's head, and then he threw it aside. The things he had to consider were much more important than this.
Since March 2000, the U.S. economy has been very sluggish, and there seems to be some signs of recovery, but this recovery was quickly extinguished, and the socio-economic situation continues to be turbulent.
For more than a year, Ronan has been staring at the company called Netflix, the investigating and consulting agency hired by him, and has published detailed information about Netflix every week.
Ronan's understanding of this Internet company is no less than his own.
If it weren't for 9/11, he might have already taken action on Netflix.
But now we can wait for a while, waiting for the socio-economic environment to become worse.
Internet companies, no matter what, can't exist outside the society, and changes in the socio-economic situation will further affect Netflix, which is already in a difficult situation.
Over the past year or so, Reed Hastings has made various struggles, but unfortunately the overall environment is not good, and Netflix's own strength is also limited. Its direct competitor is a behemoth like Blockbuster, and it has never found an investor.
Although the online leasing business is gradually expanding, lack of funds means lack of content and capital to attract customers to pay.
The model of Netflix in the previous life has already formed an impact on Hollywood, and may even subvert Hollywood's traditional film and television distribution model.
Ronan is very clear that new media other than traditional distribution channels will be an important capital for Relativity Entertainment's future competitiveness.
The six major Hollywood companies have considerable influence on theater companies and traditional distribution channels, but they have no absolute advantage in the simultaneous development of online video services.
Although the six major Hollywood companies cooperate and compete, it is impossible to work together to kill a certain film company. They will only adopt a looser alliance suppression method like DreamWorks. However, if the future situation is not good, they will face several at the same time. Strangulation of strong competitors, Relativity Entertainment has a wide enough new media channels, at least it can guarantee its survival, instead of having to sell itself to the six major companies like DreamWorks.
Although the huge plan has just begun, watching the blueprint become reality a little bit by hard work, Ronan will not let it easily fall into nothing.
In Ronan's vision, Relativity Entertainment's future is an entertainment media group focusing on content production and distribution.
This also determines the difficulty and difficulty of the plan, and may even not be realized.
There are too many companies in Hollywood, like DreamWorks, which are in the process of development.
Ronan doesn't want Relativity Entertainment to be one of them.
DreamWorks has many problems today, but its performance is still outstanding. In the first half of 2001, even though Relativity Entertainment produced and released three hit movies, "House of Death", "The Bourne Shadow" and "Fatal Turn" , North American box office performance is still not as good as DreamWorks.
In the past six months, DreamWorks has earned more than US$400 million in the North American box office with films such as "Shrek", "Artificial Intelligence", "Mexican" and "Evolution".
According to the comprehensive statistics of the North American box office for half a year, DreamWorks not only ranked first among second-tier film companies, but also beat Sony Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.
Box office does not mean everything to film companies, but it is the basis of new film revenue.
DreamWorks' outstanding performance still firmly attracted the hatred of the six major companies.
Under the cover of DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment quietly squeezed into the forefront of second-tier film companies, but Ronan knew very well that the new line of films under Warner Bros. would soon explode.
The first part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will be officially released at the end of this year.
This is one of Ronan’s favorite series of films in his previous life. Unfortunately, Tolkien’s film rights have long been sold. After he came to Los Angeles, New Line Pictures has completed the film with the support of the Weinstein brothers. The integration of copyright has begun preparations for the trilogy.
The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has created too many brilliance, and New Zealand director Peter Jackson has jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's top directors.
Although he left Tolkien and rushed to the street, Peter Jackson is also considered to have left a strong mark in the history of film.
There is also Gandalf, Ronan has seen too many talks about Gandalf in his previous life.
In the setting of the Lord of the Rings, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gandalf is a Maya, in general, a demigod, proficient in melee and spells.
In Peter Jackson's movie, it was probably that the special effects of spells were too expensive, and Gandalf became a melee unit. At that time, Gandalf was used as an idol on the Internet in the East, and there were many stalks of game wizards.
For example, add lighting for spells, and add power and system to the rest. You must learn two-handed swords or one-handed swords for weapons, and put an illuminating round sword on the battlefield.
Even Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movie has affected Ronan's way of fighting with the protagonist at a certain point in his previous life.
Selling a sword in one hand, a wisdom stick in one hand, killing one person in ten steps, and staying a thousand miles away.
Gandalf in the white robe left behind an endless melee mage legend.
Ronan received good news when he was studying overseas fund-raising and the operation of the foundation. Sanda Remus returned to Los Angeles from Seattle, and the first draft of the screenplay of "Grey the Intern" has been completed.
