Chapter 801: weather forecaster

"Good news! Good news!"
　　
　　 With the sound of dense footsteps, George Clint strode into Ronan's office, waved the documents in his hand, and said with excitement: "Good news worth celebrating."
　　
　　 Ronan put down the signature pen in his hand, looked at him, and asked with concern: "Has the weekend box office statistics come out?"
　　
　　George Clint was in a very good mood: "Yes." He deliberately sold Guanzi: "Ronan, guess how many."
　　
　　 Ronan stood up, strode over, and was equally in a good mood: "There must be 140 million US dollars."
　　
　　 Two days before the opening of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the North American box office reached 110 million U.S. dollars. Even though the sequel movies tend to be the most explosive at the beginning, they will definitely decline gradually later, but how can they have 30 million U.S. dollars on Sunday?
　　
　　 "I'm sorry to tell you that I guessed wrong." George Clint said excitedly: "US$151.28 million! Ronan, Relativity Entertainment has set a new weekend box office record in the North American movie market!"
　　
　　 Ronan took the statistics in George Clint's hand, took a look, and was a little excited: "Our investment is not in vain!"
　　
　　 George Clint nodded vigorously: "A few years ago, who would have thought we would have this day?"
　　
　　 Ronan tapped his desk: "Yeah, who can think of it, one day we will stand on the top of North American box office records!"
　　
　　 A knock on the door sounded, and Jessica Felton, who looked very capable in a women's professional suit, walked in.
　　
　　George Clint walked over and shook hands vigorously with Jessica Felton: "Jesse, you did a great job."
　　
　　 Jessica Felton obviously also got the news, and said: "Too much praise, I took over the sequel of a very successful film."
　　
　　 She smiled and said, "It's just that I didn't expect the second part to be so successful."
　　
　　 Compared with the critically acclaimed first film, the box office of the second premiere has more than doubled.
　　
　　 Ronan came to a cupboard in the office, took out a bottle of red wine from it, took three glasses by the way, and said, "We are going to have a drink for this."
　　
　　 Jessica Felton smiled and said, "Celebrate?"
　　
　　George Clint said, "Of course this is worth celebrating."
　　
　　 As he said, he took the wine bottle in Ronan's hand, and poured wine into three glasses after he called.
　　
　　 "For "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to sell!"
　　
　　 "For our success."
　　
　　 "For relativity entertainment!"
　　
　　 "Cheers!"
　　
　　 The three clinked glasses, took a sip each, and laughed at the same time.
　　
　　 Robert Lee and Mary walked in one after another. Mary looked at the three people and said with a smile: "Why don't you call us when you celebrate?"
　　
　　 Ronan went to get the cup: "You guys are here just right, have a drink together."
　　
　　 Robert Lee asked, "I'll call Bob."
　　
　　 Ronan took out the cup and gave it to Jessica Felton, asked George Clint to pour the two of them, and said, "Bob has been in San Francisco recently."
　　
　　 "Why did I forget about this?" Robert Iger stopped: "Bob is busy listing Netflix."
　　
　　 Ronan took the glass from Jessica Felton, waited for everyone to pick up the glass, and clinked with them one by one: "I wish we better and better."
　　
　　Mary smiled and said, "I wish us success."
　　
　　 The others laughed and clinked their glasses, and the joyful atmosphere spread to every corner of the office.
　　
Here are the veterans of Relativity Entertainment. Mary, Robert Lee, and George Clint are the only three employees who followed Ronan to start a business. Not only do they have options for Relativity Entertainment, they will also receive corresponding equity rewards when Netflix goes public. .
　　
　　 Although the equity is small, it can further stimulate people's motivation.
　　
　　Other Ronan can't guarantee that when Netflix goes public, Mary, Robert Lee, and George Clint will definitely be guaranteed their wealth.
　　
　　 Netflix listing also requires a certain number of shareholders to hold shares, which is a necessary condition for listing.
　　
　　 The management owns a small part of the equity, which is also the norm for listed companies.
　　
　　Like the Pixar studio back then, even though Netflix was listed on the Internet, Ronan still has an absolute controlling stake in Netflix through Relativity Entertainment.
　　
　　 Jessica Felton is treated much worse than Mary, Robert Lee and George Clint.
　　
　　 If you want to become a shareholder of Netflix, you have to wait until it is listed on the stock exchange to exchange it for money.
　　
　　 At this point, Ronan has always been very clear. Jessica Felton has a good relationship with him and has shown enough ability, but this allows Relativity Entertainment to gift equity, which is too trivial.
　　
　　 Say it, isn’t Netflix's equity the same as Chinese cabbage.
　　
　　 After a simple drink to celebrate, everyone had jobs to deal with, and they all left. Ronan left Jessica Felton.
　　
　　 "You also need to participate in the follow-up sales of "The Coffin of Souls"," Ronan reminded: "Shahai Entertainment is temporarily unable to allocate staff. You need to participate on behalf of the production company."
　　
　　 Shahai Entertainment’s subsidiary finances are all individually accounted for, which was determined from the beginning.
　　
　　 Jessica Felton said: "Yes, I have time now. The post-production of "Fast and Furious 3" is going very smoothly. I only need to control the overall situation and I can withdraw."
　　
　　 Ronan asked, "How is the preparation of "Juneo"?
　　
"I have negotiated an actor contract with Alan Page, and she will play the heroine." Jessica Felton said roughly: "This actor is indeed distinctive. He is born with an age minus five advantage. Suitable for acting as a female high school student."
　　
　　 She thought about it, and then said, "I'm looking for a suitable director. It's not easy to find a director for this kind of movie."
　　
　　 Ronan suddenly remembered Sophia Coppola, whom he had seen at the premiere of "Revenge of the Sith". This very free female director is still on vacation and might be a choice.
　　
"What do you think of Sophia Coppola?" Ronan didn't know who the former director was, and Jessica Felton knew the project of "Juneo" better than him, so he just made suggestions: "Lost in Tokyo Director of "."
　　
Jessica Felton said: "Sophia Coppola? Female directors have a natural advantage in directing female themes. Oh, yes, her directorial debut is "Death of the Virgin", which is also a story about girls’ feelings and relationships. A movie of family ethics."
　　
　　 Ronan nodded slightly: "Sophia Coppola's movie handled very well. She should be better at telling female subjects."
　　
Jessica Felton said, "Do you have Sofia Coppola's contact information? I will contact her first. You should know that directors like Sofia Coppola are not only our choice. , She also has the right to choose a partner."
　　
　　 Ronan opened the phone book, found out Sofia Coppola’s contact information, gave it to Jessica Felton, and said: "You should contact Sofia first. If you need me to come forward, you will notify me."
　　
　　 "Okay." Jessica Felton collected her contact information: "I will send the script over first, let her see it before I say it."
　　
　　 She turned and said, "Gor-Wibinski asked, when will the preview of "The End of the World" be held?"
　　
　　 Ronan waved his hand: "The trial meeting is no longer necessary, you tell Director Vibinski, if he wants to start a new project, don't hesitate."
　　
　　 Jessica Felton said: "He is indeed preparing for a new project. He asked me some time ago and showed me the script. Maybe the script and project plan will come to you soon."
　　
　　The project review of Relativity Entertainment must pass Ronan.
　　
　　 Even the projects of directors who have successfully cooperated with Relativity Entertainment are no exception.
　　
　　Hollywood has had too many successes in this film, and the next part of the film hit the street painfully.
　　
　　 Ronan was curious and asked, "What project?"
　　
Jessica Felton simply said: "A family ethics movie about weather forecasters, the script is called "The Weather Forecaster". Gore Wibinski has personally bought out the script. He is looking for investment, his first consideration is to continue working with us."
　　
　　 directed the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, and Gore Wibinski also made a lot of money, and it was easy to buy the copyright of a movie script.
　　
　　 Ronan's knowledge of Gore Wibinski was limited to the series of "The Grudge" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", and he did not remember which movies he directed.
　　
　　 In this respect, "The Grudge" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" may also be Gore Wibinski's most successful commercial films.
　　
　　 Jessica Felton continued: "Gore Wibinski has already identified the actor, just the cousin of Sofia Coppola we just mentioned."
　　
　　 Ronan knew who she was talking about: "Nicholas Cage?"
　　
"It's him." Jessica Felton said: "Gore Wibinski has initialed an agreement with Nicholas Cage, and he believes that Nicholas Cage will join him to attract investment from production companies. "
　　
　　 Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case.
　　
　　 The last film "National Treasure" starring Nicholas Cage was a big success, and this a bit out of date movie star instantly returned to the front line.
　　
　　The combination of celebrities and celebrities has always been one of the studio's favorite models. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com
　　
　　 But when Ronan heard the name Nicholas Cage, he instantly lost interest in Gore Wibinski’s new project.
　　
　　 The former Nicholas Cage is famous, on the one hand it is the success of the nineties, on the other hand it is the king of bad movies after the new century.
　　
Ronan was familiar with this old friend of Oriental movie fans. I remember that after "National Treasure", it seems that except for "Ghost Rider", other films are basically the fate of hitting the street and hitting the street. .
　　
　　 Even, I finally fell to the point where I went to the Oriental Film Production Company for money.
　　
　　It can be said that after "National Treasure", Nicholas Cage officially started the super vicious circle mode.
　　
　　 Ronan made some thoughts and said, "Well, wait for Shahai Entertainment to submit the project to me. I will talk about it after I read the script and plan."
　　
　　 Jessica Felton didn't say much, she knew Ronan had always been more cautious in this regard.
