Chapter 346: Invitation from the east

Entering the office of Relativity Entertainment, Uvi-Bauer looked around curiously. This was his first time in Ronan's new office.
"Sit." Ronan gestured off the sofa and asked, "How's the script preparation?"
Uvi-Bauer sat on the sofa and quickly replied: "The first draft is almost finished, but..."
Ronan knew what he was worried about and said, "Uvi, I can tell you the good news that the film adaptation copyright of "Dungeon Siege" has been obtained."
Last week, Robert Lee negotiated a series of matters regarding film copyright adaptation with GPG Studio. This week, George Clint signed a formal agreement with GPG on behalf of Shahai Entertainment.
"Great!" Uvi-Bauer smiled and trembled: "So I don't have any worries."
He then asked: "How much is the copyright fee?"
Ronan said directly: "US$1 million plus a small percentage of the subsequent share."
Uvi-Bauer knew that he only had a budget of 12 million U.S. dollars, and the copyright costs were calculated in it, and said: "In this case, the project still has a production budget of 11 million U.S. dollars."
Ronan said: "I believe you can use this money to complete an excellent work."
Regardless of the actual level, Uvi-Bauer is always full of confidence: "Don't worry, Ronan. This will definitely be as successful as "The House of Death"."
Ronan nodded and said, "Uvi, pay attention to the continuation of the "House of Death" style. We have proven that this style is commercially feasible."
"I understand." Uvi-Bauer said with a smile.
Ronan generally understands that the success of a "House of Death" did not actually improve Uvi Bauer’s directorial ability. Director is a very talented industry. Perhaps Uvi Bauer’s talent in this area is not a lot of.
But he didn't expect Uvi-Bauer to shoot how outstanding works, so-called continuation of the previous style, in his eyes is just shooting bad films as always.
"Dungeon Siege" does not need to be a great movie.
The greatest value of this project lies in the director Uvi Bauer.
Uvi-Bauer glanced at Ronan and tentatively asked: "The actor you mentioned last time..."
Ronan smiled and said, "You mean Jason Statham. Someone from Shahai Entertainment has already contacted him, and negotiations will begin soon. There is no big problem with him being the leading actor."
Uvi-Bauer seems to be more confident: "This actor is very good, and the rest of the role crew will solve it through audition?" He asked with some hope: "Can we still invite Paris-Hilton like this? The person who plays the leading role?"
The last success played a big role in the Paris Hilton’s hype. Ronan also knew this. He thought about it for a moment and said, "It depends. I will notify you if there is a suitable candidate."
Having said that, Ronan did not have a more suitable candidate for a time. Even if Paris Hilton is a wealthy prodigal, strictly speaking, it is a rare resource.
Ronan suddenly thought of another, the first princess in the previous life, who seems to be well-known now, but with that person's style, it is difficult to invite.
And compared to the Hilton family, the New York real estate tycoon at this stage is far behind.
After Uvi Bauer left, Ronan threw the matter aside. After learning about the contact with Jason Statham, Shahai Entertainment reported back that the talks were going well and the formality will be signed soon. contract.
Jason Statham is not paid very much. He just signed an actor contract with Paramount Pictures at the beginning of this year. The pay is only 450,000 US dollars.
Of course, this is a contract for a supporting actor, and the pay cannot be compared with the actor.
But starring in "Dungeon Siege", Jason Statham's highest pay will not exceed $1 million.
Ronan believes that Jason Statham, who can control the beauty of the prosperous age, starring in Uvi Bauer's film should not affect the future star road too much.
For the rest of the roles, just look for candidates through auditions.
There was a knock on the door, Ronan said please come in, and Robert Iger pushed the door and walked in.
"Good morning, Ronan." Robert Aigra opened his chair and sat across from him.
Ronan looked at the file in his hand and asked, "Something?"
It has been almost a month since entering the Relativity Entertainment, Robert Iger did not make a big move and has always focused on stability.
Robert Iger handed the document to Ronan and said: "This is my opinion on the management of the branch and some adjustments to the various departments."
Ronan took it and read it carefully, a little surprised: "Not much adjustment."
"I have carefully investigated the situation of all branches of Relativity Entertainment, and there is no need to make too many adjustments in a short period of time." Robert Iger roughly said: "At this stage, Relativity Entertainment is in good business conditions and has developed very smoothly. What we need to do most is to This kind of good momentum will continue as much as possible with standardized management and operation. Therefore, I think that only fine-tuning of branches and departments is needed."
He suddenly laughed: "It is not to show off the CEO's sense of existence, to go to war and affect the company's current extremely good development momentum."
"It makes sense." Ronan's idea is to entertain the current situation with the theory of relativity. Even if it is an adjustment, it should be a breeze and drizzle, not a drastic reform. This is also one of the reasons for choosing Robert Iger, a relatively moderate. . He said: "I agree with your suggestion. You are an expert in management."
I remember that in previous Wall Street and Hollywood circles, when Robert Iger took over as the CEO of Walt Disney, he thought that Robert Iger was not a suitable candidate because he lacked the strong style that a leader of a large company must possess.
But this is precisely the advantage of Robert Iger.
Ronan does not need a strong CEO.
Otherwise, with a strong company boss and a strong CEO, Relativity Entertainment will inevitably have problems.
Robert Iger added at this time: "I have sent someone to collect relevant information about artisan entertainment, and I will continue other preparations."
Ronan said: "The preparation work can go ahead. But Bob, even if we acquire it, it will take a year or a year and a half at the earliest. Relativity Entertainment needs time to digest and develop Netflix."
Relativity Entertainment should indeed have its own film library, which to some extent is also preparing for Netflix's future transformation of streaming media.
Robert Iger had a lot of work at hand, and he didn't stay long before returning to his office.
In addition to paying attention to the company's internal management and operation, Ronan puts more energy on the film projects under his banner.
This is also the biggest advantage of Relativity Entertainment.
The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has gone to Rosario, Baja California, under the leadership of Gore Wibinski, to do final preparations, and filming will soon begin.
The crew of "Jeans in Summer" negotiated a director contract with Gary Marshall and officially entered the preparatory stage.
The fast-moving crew of "Hurricane Rescue" will soon enter the filming stage.
Other sequels are also advancing steadily, because there is already a successful model, and Ronan does not need to worry too much.
Due to the successful financing of the Pacific Foundation, the follow-up funds are still surplus, and the Indian Mountain Foundation wants to continue to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, Ronan has also begun to consider new first-line commercial production based on the projects already in operation. .
The specific items to be selected need to be carefully selected.
At least Marvel's superhero movies can be excluded.
The heroes with copyright in Shahai Entertainment's hands are not suitable for shooting now.
Now that the new century has arrived, Hollywood will be occupied by more adapted films and sequels. The proportion of successful original films, especially those with medium and large investments, will become smaller and smaller.
In early March, Ronan welcomed a special visitor at home, the heroine of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Jiaolong from the far east came to visit.
"Long time no see." Ronan saw Yu Jiaolong in the reception room, "Miss Lizao is more elegant than ever."
Yu Jiaolong is very polite and elegant: "Mr. Anderson, you're thankful."
Ronan greeted him and went directly to the topic: "Miss Lizao is here this time, is there anything wrong?"
Yu Jiaolong took out an official invitation letter~EbookFREE.me~ and handed it to Ronan: "I'll help someone forward an invitation."
"Oh?" Ronan took it and rolled his eyes: "This is..."
Yu Jiaolong simply explained: "This is the invitation of Shanghai International Film Festival. The organizing committee hopes to invite Relativity Entertainment to participate in the June Film Festival."
Behind this is the handwriting of the great director who supported her. That great director and the power behind it have invited many Hollywood manufacturers to promote the international film festival.
The International Film Festival Organizing Committee is also happy to see its success. To become a first-line film festival, it needs not only the influence of awards, but also the support of a powerful film festival trading platform behind it.
Buyers who can be invited to Hollywood will effectively attract filmmakers from all over the world to participate.
The organizing committee of the film festival couldn't get on line with Hollywood, so it hit Yu Jiaolong's idea. Yu Jiaolong couldn't refuse, so he had to come and run in person.
Ronan put down the invitation letter and said, "Miss Lizao, I don't guarantee that I will be able to participate, it depends on the schedule."
Yu Jiaolong was a little embarrassed and asked, "Mr. Anderson, when can you confirm the schedule?"
"It will be April at the earliest." Ronan said.
Yu Jiaolong tentatively asked, "Can you let me know when you are sure of the itinerary."
Ronan did not refuse this reasonable request and said: "Yes. I will ask the assistant to call you at that time."
Yu Jiaolong walked out of this huge manor very easily. Over the past two years, as her experience has increased, she has become more mature, knowing that Ronan Anderson is a real big man in Hollywood.
Leaving Beverly Hills, Yu Jiaolong rushed to Miramax's office in Los Angeles and sent another invitation letter from the organizing committee.
