Chapter 38: Lions Gate

　　In order to succeed, opportunity and ability are very important. Returning to 1998 gave Ronan the opportunity, and Ronan is also improving his abilities in various ways.
　　 But there is one more point, which is also very important for new entrepreneurs-a thick face and a dark heart.
　　 So, even if there is a one percent chance, he will fight for it.
　　 As for possible setbacks, Ronan doesn't care at all. There is no setback in starting a business.
Ronan very calmly walked into the DreamWorks, founded by three famous Jewish ancestors in Hollywood and even in the United States, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, and the publishing department of DreamWorks Talk about the issue of the "Human Removal Project".
　　 "There is a problem with the plot of this film, right?"
　　 In the reception room, a deep-haired big nose looked at the information Ronan had brought, and said directly: "The ending is not good, it will not be popular."
　　 Ronan glanced at this person. He couldn't see anything unusual on the outside, nor could he see the ethnicity of the opponent. He could only say: "The ending is echoed with the opening."
　　 Deep hair and big nose directly shook his head: "If the film is shot in this kind of plot, DreamWorks will not release it."
　　 Ronan roughly guessed the reason, after all, a fool would tell something outright.
I ran into nearly 20 distribution companies and encountered all kinds of mess. He didn't care about this problem. He tentatively asked: "When the filming and production are completed, after you watch the film, we Talk about it again?"
　　 "If you don't change the words." Shenfa's big nose lacks interest: "There is no need to talk."
　　 Speaking of this, Ronan no longer insisted. After leaving politely, he left the reception room and prepared to leave DreamWorks.
　　 Ronan took the elevator down to the first floor. As soon as the elevator opened, he saw three people coming out of another dedicated elevator on the opposite side. Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg accompanied an old man.
　　Who is this old man? Did Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg be sent downstairs?
　　 Looking at the entire Hollywood, few people can be treated like this.
　　 Ronan remained calm, and he just followed behind when he got out of the elevator. Since the distance was not too far, he could probably hear the people in front of him.
　　 "Stephen, I read your novel, it is very wonderful."
　　 Judging from the sound, the person who said this should be Tom Hanks. People who are familiar with his film are very easy to recognize: "This novel has too much content. I think it is difficult to show a movie. TV drama is a good choice."
　　 Stephen Spielberg’s voice came: "Mr. Ambrose, I agree with Tom. You can think about it again."
　　 The old man slowly said: "You are professionals, I listen to you."
　　 Spielberg smiled and said: "You are the expert in the European battlefield of World War II. Without your guidance, we would not be able to reproduce that cruel war in "Saving Private Ryan"."
　　 The old man stopped abruptly and said, "Since I interviewed Leicester, E Company has been a special existence in my heart."
　　 E company? Ronan raised his brows.
　　 The old man stopped, Tom Hanks and Spielberg also stopped. There were a lot of people in the lobby on the first floor. Ronan couldn't stop to listen to what they were saying, so he walked over.
　　 There was another word coming from behind. It was Tom Hanks' voice: "From the day I received the book you presented, I have determined to let the audience see Company E!"
Followed by Spielberg’s words: "Mr. Ambrose, it may take a few years. What Tom and I want to shoot is a magnificent war epic, which requires a lot of preparation work. DreamWorks has just gotten on the right track. Partner, I also need time to raise funds."
　　 "It's okay." The old man's words can hardly be heard: "I will wait patiently..."
　　 Luo Nan walked farther and farther, and soon he couldn't hear the conversation between the three of them. Before leaving the office building, he glanced back, Stephen? Ambrose?
　　 This old man is Stephen Ambrose?
　　 Luo thought while walking south, where does the name Stephen Ambrose seem to have heard?
　　 Recall the words of Tom Hanks and Spielberg: novel? TV series? World War II? European battlefield? Epic of war? And E company?
　　 Ronan stopped, turned his head to look at the office building, and instantly thought of a name-"Brothers".
　　 Isn’t this the original author of "Brothers"?
It can’t be wrong, I have a vague impression that the original author of "Brothers" served as a special adviser to "Saving Private Ryan", and then this book entered Tom Hanks’ vision and was recommended by Tom Hanks. To Spielberg.
　　 "Saving Private Ryan" will be released soon. Tom Hanks and Spielberg are deliberately promoting the "Brothers" project.
　　 When "Brothers" came out, it caused a sensation, and the impact was far-reaching. Just selling discs made the copyright owner a lot of money.
what a pity……
　　 Ronan turned his head and continued to walk forward. He could only look at an explosive model, which was really uncomfortable.
　　 Can you find a chance to get involved?
This miniseries costs a lot of money. If you want to make a war film, you have to burn money crazy. I remember that this is a collaboration between DreamWorks and HBO. According to the situation in Hollywood, there must be investors that he does not remember, sharing the risk. On the one hand, Hollywood's medium and large companies are very slippery.
　　 Ronan got on the car, but didn't start it, still thinking about it.
A TV series like 　　 can instantly make the broadcasting platform popular. Once HBO became famous because of this, and the number of users skyrocketed.
　　 What will happen if I switch to a network platform?
　　 No, in this era, even on the North American Internet, the conditions for playing high-definition video are generally normal.
　　 Exclusive Internet rental of DVD or video tape?
　　 Ronan laughed blankly, thinking a bit far away? He glanced at the DreamWorks headquarters through the rearview mirror. With Hollywood’s usual pattern, this miniseries would take three or four years to come out at the earliest.
　　 In fact, the biggest problem is money. He has no money and can only watch by the sidelines for the time being. DreamWorks itself has insufficient funds, so he has to pull other companies to share investment and risks.
　　 took out the notebook he carried with him, Ronan wrote down the name of "Brothers" on it.
　　 Go back to learn more about Stephen Ambrose and his "Brothers", see if you can find a chance, if not, there is no way.
　　 In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money. If the funds are not enough, many projects do not even have the qualifications to start.
　　 Thinking of this, he scratched his head for a while.
　　 Ronan drove away from DreamWorks and rushed to the next goal, Lionsgate. He quickly stabilized his mind. He has to go step by step, and if he steps too far, he will definitely get involved.
　　 came to Lionsgate, and the person who received him was Gray Enrique, the head of Lionsgate’s distribution department.
　　 After reading the information Ronan brought, Gray Enrique asked curiously: "Mr. Anderson, can I ask a question?"
　　 Ronan smiled: "Just ask."
　　 Gray Enrique asked immediately: "As far as I know, Shahai Pictures has been shooting B-level movies. Why did you choose a horror movie this time?"
Ronan didn’t even think about it, so he said:
I have carefully studied the successful Hollywood movies in the past ten years since the last film failed ~EbookFREE.me~ and discovered an interesting phenomenon with the highest ratio of cost to return. In a batch of movies, horror movies occupy an absolute majority."
　　 "Indeed." Gray Enrique nodded slightly.
　　 "These successful horror films have another characteristic." Ronan's words are all targeted: "The cost is relatively low, and the investment in publicity and distribution is relatively low."
　　 Gray Enrique looked down at the script in his hand.
Ronan continued to say in a targeted manner:
Horror movies generally have a low reputation, but movies that really win the love of horror movie fans will quickly spread among horror movie audiences, and small groups are also conducive to making targeted announcements. Develop strategies to control expenses."
　　 Gray Enrique laughed: "Mr. Anderson is an expert in this area."
　　 "Experts can't talk about it." Ronan waved his hand: "I just studied a lot of cases."
　　 He remembers clearly that Lionsgate started its business with horror films in the early stage. Compared with other companies, perhaps Lionsgate will appreciate the "Human Removal Project" more?
Gray Enrique said very politely: "The Lionsgate Films Distribution Department was only established last year and hopes to release high-quality films." He glanced at Ronan and said: "I hope to see "Humanity" for the first time. The completion of "Clearance Project"."
　　 Ronan smiled and said, "No problem."
　　 Compared to DreamWorks’ simple and rude treatment, Lionsgate’s new company is much more polite.
　　 After talking for more than half an hour, Ronan took the initiative to leave.
　　 After running so many distribution companies, even the best attitude of Lionsgate, none of the companies are willing to cooperate before seeing the film.
　　 But most companies are willing to investigate this film.
