Chapter 778: Plan ahead

"Just received an invitation from UEFA."
　　
On the way to the premiere of "Escape the Clone", Connie received a call and said to Ronan sitting in the back row: "UEFA officially invites you to watch this season's Champions League final on the 25th of this month. "
　　
　　 Ronan was not surprised by this, and said: "Remember to arrange the itinerary and coordinate with Will and Tom at the same time."
　　
　　 Connie nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
　　
　　 Istanbul, a place where miracles have been created.
　　
　　 Manchester United reached the Champions League final, Ronan has already sent congratulations, and also via phone with Ferguson, specifically mentioned to pay attention to AC Milan.
　　
　　 But the team’s affairs have to be handled by professionals after all. Ronan knows that he is a layman, and a reminder is enough. He doesn’t know what to do if he really wants to do it.
　　
　　 After all, Ronan believes in Ferguson, believes in the strength of this Manchester United team.
　　
　　 Now Manchester United leads the Premier League with a five-point advantage, and winning the Premier League title is a high probability event.
　　
　　 The Champions League also reached the final, only one step away from the St. Blaise Cup.
　　
　　 It is very rare to achieve a double crown in the Premier League and the Champions League in the first year of buying the team.
　　
　　 Not to mention anything else, Manchester United will definitely appreciate significantly. From a business perspective alone, this will be a very cost-effective deal.
　　
　　 Once the Champions League is won, the income from the sponsors will also rise a lot.
　　
　　 Ronan is also communicating with David Gill and Manchester United scouts recently, letting them pay attention to Xavi and Iniesta of Barcelona, ​​and also focus on Leo Messi of La Masia Film and Television Academy.
　　
　　 If possible, it is best to bring one or two.
　　
　　 After a period of consideration, Ronan also figured out. From the perspective of Manchester United and the appreciation of his assets, it is better not to appear in the former Universe team.
　　
　　 No matter how many criticisms there are, whether there is a godfather or not, there is no doubt about the strength and performance of the former Universe team on the court, especially Habaibu and Messi as the core, each is very important.
　　
　　Habaibu is the basis of pass control, Messi is the breaking point of balance...
　　
　　 Take one of them, and the impact may not be particularly big, but if two are missing, the universe team will definitely be affected.
　　
　　 As for Messi, Ronan considers from the perspective of maximizing capital interests. If there is a chance, it seems worthwhile to come to Manchester United even if he stays in the reserve team.
　　
　　 Manchester United's future goal is not only the Premier League, but also the Champions League, to plan ahead.
　　
　　 Ronan also knew that Messi is currently the key training target of La Masia Film and Television Academy, and it is not easy to dig.
　　
　　 But it is said that Messi has a good father, maybe he can think of something.
　　
　　 Ronan has communicated with the Manchester United club management on these issues and will implement them after the end of this season.
　　
　　 When he came to the premiere theater of "Escape from the Island", Ronan saw many old friends, such as George Lucas, who also came to help Spielberg.
　　
　　 "I heard that your Relativity Entertainment recently provided many internships for the USC Film School?"
　　
　　As a signature figure of the USC Film School, George Lucas has never forgotten his alma mater: "In this industry, learning theory is far from enough."
　　
　　 Ronan said modestly: "In fact, this is also a win-win situation. The students of the college have the opportunity to learn by themselves, and my crew can also get a lot of fresh blood."
　　
　　 George Lucas laughed: "There are not many people in Hollywood who think like you."
　　
　　 Ronan flatly said: "Because they are not graduates of the USC Film School."
　　
　　George Lucas felt the same way: "For us, the brand of USC Film Academy will always exist."
　　
　　 Ronan put out a clear statement on the other side of the Pacific: "I am always proud of this."
　　
　　 This is indeed the case. Regardless of whether Ronan admits it or not, in the eyes of others, he is a member of the USC Film School faction and a very important member.
　　
　　 Whether in the East or here, alumni are very important networks.
　　
　　 George Lucas reminded before leaving: "Don't forget to come to the premiere of "The Revenge of the Sith"."
　　
　　 Ronan pointed to his forehead: "Always remember."
　　
　　 Relativity Entertainment has always been an entertainment group, not to mention other aspects, in terms of film and television production alone, Industrial Light and Magic under Lucasfilm is invaluable.
　　
　　In the eyes of a purely commercial filmmaker like Ronan, Industrial Light and Magic has changed the film industry.
　　
　　 "What did you talk about?" Spielberg came over at this moment: "You have been very close to George recently."
　　
　　 Ronan smiled and said, "Alumni of USC, talked about strengthening cooperation with the college."
　　
　　 Although Spielberg is not a graduate of the USC Film School, he has always considered himself an alumnus of USC and said: "If you have any activities, remember to call me."
　　
　　 Ronan nodded and said, "I will definitely." He saw Michael Bay and asked, "It is said that "Escape from the Clone Island" was not well received in the trial screening?"
　　
　　 As far as the current situation is concerned, the death of DreamWorks is not in line with the interests of Relativity Entertainment.
　　
　　 Spielberg said: "Isn't it always the case with Michael's movies? Except for "Break into the Dead Island", which one of his films is better than a test screen."
　　
Ronan thought about it for a moment, and it’s true. Michael Bay’s films basically start from the trial screening. From the media reputation to the audience’s reputation, it’s hard to get any good reviews, but after the release. Always get good market results.
　　
　　 can only say that this is a Michael Bay-style movie.
　　
　　 In the past, Michael Bay had a kind of magic, no matter how bad the film, how vulgar and outrageous the content, always attracted the audience.
　　
　　 Ronan has nothing to say, after all, he can't be at the premiere of others, saying that this film is very likely to fail.
　　
　　 Wouldn't it be a break with DreamWorks and Spielberg.
　　
　　 But one thing is certain, "Escape from the Clone Island" was released by DreamWorks alone. If something goes wrong, it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary losses.
　　
　　 As it used to be, it was handed over to the six major companies for issuance. After deducting the share of the issuing company in terms of income, it is difficult for DreamWorks to recover much.
　　
　　 Spielberg motioned to his assistant to stop the person who came to say hello, obviously there was something to talk to Ronan.
　　
　　 The two walked towards the corner with few people, and Connie was doing similar work quietly.
　　
　　 "Next weekend, your first animated feature film released by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio will premiere." Spielberg slowly said, "I heard it is called "Despicable Me"?"
　　
　　 Ronan directly replied: "An animated feature film based on the short film "Little Yellow Man"."
　　
　　 Spielberg asked: "This is the animation team you accepted from 20th Century Fox back then?"
　　
　　 Ronan nodded slightly: "It's them, they are all very good doers."
　　
　　 This remark made Ronan discover that Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox are really related to each other, and there was such an intersection at that time.
　　
　　 Spielberg asked: "The film is successful, and 20th Century Fox is not likely to be peaceful."
　　
"They have Blue Sky Studio and "Ice Age"." Ronan shrugged: "I didn't dig from 20th Century Fox, but 20th Century Fox fired them, and then I took Chris Ray Nader's team."
　　
Spielberg talked about this topic, of course, with a purpose: "Ronan, your animation studio has already produced an animated feature film, and it must be successful next week. The distribution resources of Embassy Pictures must give priority to yourselves. Movie about DreamWorks Animation Studio..."
　　
The old man put his glasses down and looked at Ronan: "After David Geffen quit, DreamWorks is left with me and Jeff Kasenberg to support it, and the business is only live-action film and television production. And animation production. With DreamWorks Animation Studio, DreamWorks is the complete DreamWorks."
　　
These words are profound and meaningful. Ronan will not eat this set, and after some consideration, he said: "Steven, I can give you a guarantee that after the release contract between DreamWorks Animation Studios and Embassy Pictures expires, the theory of relativity Entertainment will take the initiative to launch, and the internal affairs of DreamWorks will require you to talk with Jerefer."
　　
　　 Spielberg is very clear that it is impossible to get more from Ronan. In fact, he also retreats from advancement. What he wants is this guarantee.
　　
Ronan also knows this. After Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio has produced a stable animation feature film, it is impossible for Jeff Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation Studio to continue to cooperate with Embassy Pictures after the contract expires. Cooperate on distribution.
　　
　　 Spielberg shook hands with Ronan: "I hope DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment have always been allies."
　　
　　 Ronan replied: "I hope so too."
　　
　　In fact, at the heights of Ronan and Spielberg, many things are not changed by personal will, but determined by group interests.
　　
　　 Even though Ronan absolutely controls Relativity Entertainment, the performance of Relativity Entertainment is directly related to the income of many management personnel and even ordinary staff.
　　
　　These are also things that business owners and decision makers must consider.
　　
　　 When the interests of DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment are at odds ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if Ronan and Spielberg have a good personal relationship, the two companies will go to opposite sides.
　　
　　 In this regard, DreamWorks and the six major Hollywood companies have fully performed in the past.
　　
　　 Hollywood’s internal relationships are complicated, but from the perspective of interest, it’s not difficult to straighten out.
　　
　　 Ronan then met Michael Bay, but just said hello to him without saying much. The timing is not right now.
　　
　　 entered the theater and waited a while before the premiere screening of "Escape from the Clone Island" began.
　　
　　 As before, when watching the previous part, it is hard to imagine that this will be a movie made by Michael Bay.
　　
　　 It is no exaggeration to say that in the first half of the film, Michael Bay seems to have changed his style.
　　
　　 But in the second half, the real Michael Bay is back.
　　
　　 The film starts to collide and then collide, explode and explode, it can be described as a typical Michael Bay movie.
