Chapter 37: Cast a net

　　Hollywood Pictures, Distribution Department Reception Room.
　　 A bald middle-aged man with eyes put down the materials in his hand, and after putting it away, he smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson, your project has a very thorough shooting plan and the scene design is also very beautiful."
　　 "Your recognition is a great honor." Ronan answered in due course.
　　 He waited patiently for the following words, the deputy director of the publishing department must have a turning point.
　　 As expected, the bald middle-aged man said again: "But your movie hasn't been finished yet, right?"
　　 "Yes." Ronan told the truth: "The shooting was about a third."
　　 The bald middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Is this project really worth 11 million US dollars?"
　　 Ronan smiled: "It's true that this is for publicity. The real investment in the film is about 3 million US dollars."
　　 The other party is a real expert in the industry. The so-called 11 million budget can't be concealed at all, but on the basis of the truth, you can also add a little material appropriately.
　　 "A small-cost horror movie of $3 million..." The bald middle-aged man looked through the script again: "The scale of investment in production is not small."
　　 Looking at the entire North American film industry, a three million dollar film investment is definitely not a small project.
　　 Ronan took out the only influential person in the cast lineup: "The film's director James Huang directed "X-Files."
The bald middle-aged man nodded slightly: "I seem to have heard someone from the Fox TV production department talk about him." He put down the script and said, "Well, Mr. Anderson, when your film is finished, we will talk more about it. how is it?"
　　 "Yes." Ronan has achieved his goal: "When the film is completed, I will send a copy as soon as possible. I hope we have a chance to cooperate."
　　 The bald middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Ronan: "As long as the film is good enough, distribution is not a problem."
　　 The preconditions are very clear.
　　 Ronan shook his hands vigorously: "This will be an excellent horror movie."
　　Mary followed Ronan and kept silent. Seeing Ronan's expression and hearing what Ronan said, she couldn't help nodding her head secretly. Ronan, who had experienced a setback, was really not the Ronan before.
She also accompany Ronan to run through several distribution companies when she promoted "Life in the Jedi". At that time, Ronan was young and impulsive and always kept telling people how good his movie was and how interesting he was. Ideas and talents will surely impress the audience, and they will surely sell well at the box office.
　　 When the distribution company expressed dissatisfaction with the film, they shouted that they would regret missing the film!
Looking at Ronan now, he is like a different person. He is mature and stable. He responds appropriately. The words are true or false. It is easy to be trusted by others. If you listen to the ears of an informed person, you will Believe a little.
　　 This is what the producer and business elite should look like.
　　 More importantly, she has seen Ronan seize all her free time to study and enrich herself more than once. The improvement in all aspects of her abilities brought by this can be experienced by everyone around her.
　　 Ronan left a document and went out of Hollywood Pictures. The purpose of this trip was basically achieved.
　　 The lineup of film casts is not well-known and the scale of investment is limited. How can it be possible for the distribution company to directly sign the contract without seeing the film?
　　 This is just paving the way for the future.
　　 entered the parking lot, Ronan got into Mary's car, Mary started the car and asked, "Where to go again?"
　　 Ronan pointed to the front: "Go to New Line Film."
　　Mary glanced at Ronan and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, you can always find a suitable distributor."
　　 Ronan fastened his seat belt and said with a smile:
Don’t worry, it’s okay. I can withstand failure. Besides, they don’t refuse.

　　Mary turned her head and smiled at Ronan, stopped talking, and drove to New Line Pictures intently.
　　 Leaning on the co-pilot, Ronan opened the information in his hand, and once again reviewed the latest situation of Xinxian Pictures and the introduction of several heads of the publishing department.
　　 There are memories left by Little Anderson, and New Line Pictures is no stranger to him.
　　 The publisher of the previous "Jedi" is Xin Xian Pictures.
　　 Like Hollywood Pictures is part of Disney, New Line Pictures is not an independent film company, but a subsidiary acquired by Warner Bros. However, management such as Robert Shea still retains more independent management rights.
Strictly speaking, the Sony Film Distribution and Hollywood Films that have been to have actually not rejected Ronan, nor did they say that they want to release the "Human Removal Project". They have seen various materials that Ronan brought in the past. In the last attitude, after the film is shot, I will talk about the quality of the film on the spot.
　　Thousands of films can be made every year in Hollywood, but only five or six hundred films are released in theaters. There are too many films that want to squeeze into the theaters, and the distribution company has no shortage of small productions that actively come to the door.
　　 Ronan claimed that the "Human Removal Program" had a budget of 11 million U.S. dollars. It is okay for these people to fool outsiders, and it is not even a problem to fool many people in the circle, but it is basically impossible to fool experts from professional companies.
　　 These experts are not brick-and-mortar, just look at the cast lineup, script and scene settings, shooting plan and other information, you can roughly calculate the true investment of the film.
　　 Do not provide materials? There is not even a film, and the people at the distribution company are too lazy to talk about it.
　　The people who received Ronan were all executive-level figures from Sony Film Distribution and Hollywood Pictures. This was entirely due to the fact that the "Human Removal Project" had caused some movement some time before.
　　 Ronan also never thought about finding a distributor at once. The main purpose of this time is to attract the attention of some distribution companies. After the film is actually filmed and produced, Shahai Entertainment will have a few more options.
　　 Came to Xinxian Films. Since he had made an appointment before, Ronan met with a director of the Distribution Department of Xinxian Films.
　　 "Mr. Deron, we meet again." Ronan shook hands with a blond man in his thirties.
　　 The release of the last "Life in the Jedi" was also discussed with the young Anderson.
　　 Delong frowned and looked at Ronan, and asked, "You have something to do with me? "Jedi Life" has copyright income again. Are you going to pay the share of New Line Pictures?"
　　 Luo Nan Chao beckoned to Mary, took the paper bag that Mary handed, and handed it to Delong, saying, "This is a new film I invested in. Take a look."
　　 Delong's face was a bit ugly, he opened the file bag and looked at it, and said as he looked at it, "Do you want to find Xinxian Pictures for distribution?"
　　 "Yes." Ronan said bluntly: "We have worked together once and we know each other."
　　 Delong's face is even more ugly: "Your "Life in the Jedi" did not bring any profit~EbookFREE.me~ Ronan smiled: "As far as I know, your company has not incurred any losses. "
　　 Most of the $800,000 in the box office revenue of that movie was collected by New Line Pictures, and later he got part of the peripheral copyright revenue from him.
　　 The total investment of New Line Film is definitely not that much.
　　 For the same movie, the production company was in a mess, and even the blood was almost vomited, but the distribution company was able to keep the cost.
　　 This is too common in Hollywood.
"You've messed up one." Delong simply looked through the information and put it aside: "Tell you the truth, Ronan. Unless you are willing to sign a 40% distribution agreement. , Otherwise the company is unlikely to release your film again."
　　 The lion’s mouth is so wide open that it is almost out of the scope of the wild price.
Ronan was not angry either. It was of no use to business negotiations. He maintained a faint smile and said,
Don’t rush to refuse, okay? It’s not too late to make a decision after seeing the film’s finalization. The director is James Wong who has directed "The X Files"."
　　Why find a director with a little resume? This is one of the reasons.
　　 Delong groaned a little, and said, "Okay, wait for you to finish the film, and then take it over."
　　 Ronan took the initiative to leave, stood up and shook hands with Delong: "I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."
　　 Delong's face was dark and did not speak.
　　 In the following ten days, Ronan traveled to large and small film distribution companies in Los Angeles, and even the six major companies left a copy of information.
　　As a person and company that has just stepped into theatrical movies, it is only possible to catch fish by casting a wide net.
　　Even, even DreamWorks, which was completely controlled by Jewish forces, was ready to try his luck.
