Chapter 780: Cover character

The summer vacation of 2005 has gone on for four weekends. Every weekend, at least one high-profile commercial film will be released, but the fate of the four films is completely different. The premiere weekend of "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Escape from the Clone Island" was announced. It failed, and "The Bournemouth 3" and "Despicable Me" were successful.
　　
　　 Then, everyone discovered one thing, the 50% success all belonged to Relativity Entertainment.
　　
　　 The media began to report extensively about Relativity Entertainment and Ronan, but the circle fell into a short silence.
　　
　　 A powerful film company integrating production, promotion, distribution and peripheral operations has stood in front of everyone in Hollywood.
　　
　　 The most important thing is that this company has a nearly complete film and television industry chain system. It is very difficult for other companies to restrict it.
　　
　　 Besides, other Hollywood competitors never really come together.
　　
　　This situation, coupled with the constant value of Relativity Entertainment, and the rumors that Netflix, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, will be listed in the financial market, have attracted widespread attention.
　　
　　 This kind of attention has long gone beyond the entertainment industry and even related entertainment industries, and has spread to the entire business circle of North America.
　　
　　 After several contacts with Ronan, the reporter of Forbes Magazine, Belen Renas, through unremitting efforts, finally won the opportunity to interview Ronan.
　　
　　 This interview was placed in the VIP guest room of the Theory of Relativity Building.
　　
　　 Belen-Renas came to the reception room early in the morning to make arrangements. Forbes paid great attention to this interview.
　　
　　Although Belen Renas is one of the top reporters of Forbes, the magazine has sent her former senior supervisor to be the guidance behind it.
　　
　　 "The opportunity for this interview is very rare." Michel told Belen Renas: "This is the first time Ronan Anderson has been interviewed by the media since he left school to start his own business."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas looked at his draft of the question and made the final preparations: "I understand."
　　
Michelle added: "One thing must be noted. Ronan Anderson must not be measured by a single identity. He is a gold medal producer in Hollywood, a gold medalist in the development of film and television projects, and a An entrepreneur, or a star in the Internet industry, according to the financial industry's estimation, when Netflix is ​​listed, Ronan Anderson will become the youngest billionaire in the United States."
　　
　　 Belen Renas is already in his thirties. He is not lacking in motivation and has accumulated a wealth of life experience. He has made sufficient preparations for this.
　　
　　 She knows what kind of character she will face.
　　
　　 Amazing? Wizard of Heaven? The darling of the goddess of luck?
　　
　　 None of these descriptions are appropriate. Belen Renas has never seen an outstanding young man like Ronan Anderson in his career for more than ten years.
　　
　　 The interview time was approaching, and the cameraman had already finished preparations. Belen-Renas took the time to have a final exchange with Michelle, went to the lounge next to him to touch up his makeup and carefully arranged his clothes.
　　
　　 This is respect for others as well as respect for oneself.
　　
　　 At 9:30 in the morning, Ronan entered the reception room on time and saw Belen Renas.
　　
　　 This is a relatively ordinary-looking middle-aged woman with brown hair who looks shrewd and tough.
　　
　　 "Hello, Mr. Anderson." Belen Reinus took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Ronan: "I am very happy to see you again."
　　
　　 Ronan shook hands with her, smiled and said, "It is an honor for me to be interviewed by Miss Renas."
　　
After Belen Renas briefly introduced the "Forbes" staff present, Ronan said: "If possible, let's start. In the afternoon I will go to the premiere of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith". formula."
　　
The two sat opposite each other, Belen Renas quietly gestured to the cameraman, and at the same time opened the recorder in front of him, like an old friend chatting, and asked: "You like the "Star Wars" series? "
　　
　　 Ronan smiled and asked, "How many people in America don't like Star Wars?"
　　
　　 Belen Renas reacted accordingly and asked Ronan: "A lot of people are criticizing, saying that the prequel movie of George Lucas ruined the Star Wars series?"
　　
　　 Ronan shook his head slightly: "The prequel trilogy, like the main story, is a great masterpiece. Personally, I very much hope that this series can continue to be filmed and see the continuous expansion of the Star Wars world."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas immediately asked: "It is also because of this that Relativity Entertainment has produced so many series of movies?"
　　
"The biggest use of movies is to bring joy to people." Ronan was not stumped by this small problem: "As long as the audience likes it, many movies are necessary, and I am not only a producer, but also a businessman. , The film invested in can be enjoyed by the audience and can bring benefits. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?"
　　
　　 The Belen-Renas question becomes acute: "But many people are saying that Relativity Entertainment specializes in bad movies, or a series of bad movies."
　　
　　 Ronan slowly said: "A movie cannot be liked by everyone. Every movie has its own audience. Even a highly acclaimed film like the Bourne Shadow series, some people hate it."
　　
　　 "Have you ever thought about making a good movie that everyone likes in the future?" Belen-Renas asked.
　　
　　 Ronan opened his hands: "Movies are not dollars."
　　
Belém-Renas couldn’t help laughing, and the topic tended to ease:
When the media and entertainment circles mention you, they always think of a long list of movies, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Bourne Few people know you personally. According to my understanding, you were once on the verge of bankruptcy?"
　　
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "At the time, I messed up the first official feature film in my life. Most of the employees of Shahai Entertainment, which my father left behind, resigned, including me. There are four people left. If the new work fails to attract investment, the company can only go bankrupt and liquidate. Fortunately, we have found a new investor and the new movie has been successful."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas asked again: "Shahai Entertainment is your father's most precious legacy?"
　　
　　 "Strictly speaking, no." Ronan said nonsense seriously: "Father taught me to have confidence and be good at discovering, so that I can overcome difficulties."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas asked keenly: "Just like everyone thought that the themes of pirate movies were gone, but you discovered "Pirates of the Caribbean" from it?"
　　
"In fact, this film is different from all pirate movies, adding a lot of supernatural elements." Ronan simply said: "I want to quote the words of Hollywood reporters and professionals to explain: "The Caribbean The box office miracle of "Pirates" stems from its fresh plot and unique creativity. More importantly, it goes beyond the thinking that and violence are the selling points of pirate films. The film is completely suitable for audiences of any age."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas asked again: "As we all know, you are not the producer or the owner of the film company. Does the management company need to distract you from film production?"
　　
Ronan smiled and said: "I have a great team. They raise the flag for us. They will discuss with me and do some work for me. They do it, not me. I only need talented people. work together."
　　
　　 The interview went well according to the scheduled process, and the topic soon came to the Netflix.
　　
"Mr. Anderson, Netflix has been preparing for the listing." Belen-Renas asked: "There are many rumors about Netflix. It is said that a large number of investment institutions want to invest in Netflix. Once Netflix is ​​listed, you You will become a billionaire, are you ready?"
　　
　　 Ronan said calmly: "After Netflix went public, it is actually the same as it is now. I think the greatest value of Netflix is ​​that it can be recognized by the market and users."
　　
　　 Belen-Renas said again: "The youngest billionaire..."
　　
　　 Ronan does not intend to entangle on this issue: "Netflix hasn't been listed yet, and it is not yet, is it?"
　　
　　 Belen-Renas laughed, did not continue to ask about this, but asked: "Just like you are the boss of Netflix, I find that the outside world doesn't know much about you."
　　
　　 Ronan said, "I always thought I was very famous."
　　
Belen-Renas sneered and continued to ask: "Most of the young and wealthy in the United States have established families early. Facts have also proved that a stable family life is conducive to career wars. Have you ever considered this? "
　　
　　 Ronan had a serious expression: "Yes, but I have never met the right person. Maybe by that day, I will get married as quickly as possible."
　　
　　 The atmosphere of the interview was basically friendly. After the interview, I took a lot of photos of Ronan.
　　
　　 In the next issue of Forbes magazine, Ronan will appear on the cover.
　　
This is also the first time that he has become the cover character of a heavyweight magazine~EbookFREE.me~ Actually Ronan knows very well that after Netflix is ​​listed, everything will be different, and he will inevitably receive more attention, even as the cover Like Jobs, every move can become news.
　　
　　 At noon, Ronan, as the host, entertained Belen-Renas and his party.
　　
　　 Netflix will be listed on the Internet soon, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with financial and commercial media such as Forbes.
　　
　　 Sending away the group of "Forbes", Ronan changed into a formal dress and went to the Hollywood area to participate in the premiere of "Prequel: The Revenge of the Sith".
　　
　　 This is George Lucas’ personal invitation, and it is also related to the future plans of Relativity Entertainment.
　　
　　 is completely different from what he said in an interview. Ronan has a general sense of the Star Wars series, but this does not conflict with the business plan. The company has achieved a certain level, and he will not simply use personal interests as the criterion for judgment.
　　
　　 Besides, this is recognized as the number one IP in the film industry.
