Chapter 903: problem lies in

　　 "Everyone! Everyone, please introduce."
　　 In a small circle in the banquet hall, David Ellison introduced several people: "This is Ronan Anderson, my good friend! The best partner!"
　　 These people are familiar with David Ellison, many of whom are graduates he met at the USC Film School.
　　 Ronan kept a polite smile and shook hands with these people one by one.
　　For now, his relationship with David Ellison is indeed in the honeymoon period.
　　The people around dispersed, David Ellison said: "I have the opportunity to enter Disney this time, thank you very much."
　　 Ronan said: "I also want to sell shares. Of course, I have to sell to friends and trusted partners first."
　　 "My father appreciates this transaction very much." David Ellison said: "He is very interested in me being a major shareholder or even a member of the board of directors of Disney."
　　 Ronan knows very well that people like Larry Ellison have never been afraid of competition, and often even take the initiative to provoke wars. Perhaps in the eyes of such people, it is indeed a good opportunity to enter Disney.
　　 With Disney’s chaotic situation, there is indeed hope to fight for Disney’s control.
　　 "Entering Disney is the beginning." Ronan said, "I hope you will enter the Disney board as soon as possible."
　　David Ellison is confident: "We have also discussed, and Michael Eisner's stay in office is best for Maple Leaf Pictures."
　　 Ronan nodded slowly, and suggested: "After the deal is concluded, you, as a new force, will find it difficult to quickly open up the situation. It is best to find a suitable agent among the senior executives of Disney."
　　 David Ellison said: "This proposal is good, I will discuss it with Ryan."
　　 These proposals of Ronan are actually beneficial to David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh, but the hidden purpose behind them is to keep Disney in chaos.
　　 Maple Leaf Pictures can gain a certain right to speak within Disney, and only then will there be a tripartite situation.
　　 David Ellison said at this time: "Ronan, it will be useful to me in the future, just speak."
　　 Ronan is also welcome: "I have a Pacific Investment Fund with a fixed profit rate every year. If you have spare funds, you can consider investing."
　　 David Ellison said: "I've heard of it, so I will go back and find out specifically."
　　 Ronan left Scott Swift’s contact information to David Ellison. The two sides are in the honeymoon period. If you can get more benefits, you can fight for more.
　　Furthermore, this is also to help David Ellison leave a way out. In case his Hollywood investment is messed up, there will be funds from the Pacific Investment Foundation.
　　 Once David Ellison and his sister Megan Ellison both faced huge difficulties in Hollywood.
　　 David Ellison's situation is better. After all, the main energy and resources are put on commercial films. The company of Megan Ellison, which focuses on art films, once came to the brink of bankruptcy.
　　 Megan Ellison’s Annap Films, invested in the first eight films that he filmed, and seven of them lost money.
　　 is not a loss on Hollywood books, but a real loss of money.
Once a unique selection of film tastes made Megan Ellison famous in Hollywood, Paul Thomas Anderson, Catherine Bigelow, David Russell, the Cohen brothers, the King of Sunglasses... those who stumbled in the blockbuster studio The directors of literary and artistic films soon gathered to Anapu Pictures.
　　 was only eight years old, and Anapu Pictures has already received 52 Oscar nominations.
Compared with the brilliant Oscar nomination record, Annapurna Films’ commercial record was a complete failure: the investment of the film started at tens of millions of dollars, but it made much less and lost much. Many box office talents with huge investment and high reputation. Millions of dollars in the early days.
The last news Ronan ever saw about Megan Ellison was not about how successful the film critics were touted and the success of the noble female producer, but about saving his daughter’s company, Larry- Ellison had to roll up his sleeves and go off in person, settle $200 million in debt and losses for Megan Ellison, and intervene in the company's operations.
　　 Of course, as a person who has the ability to make money naturally, Megan Ellison has the capital to continue to wave on art films.
　　 Anyway, no matter what the wave is, there will be an old man in the end.
　　 Compared to his younger sister, David Ellison was also very difficult later. The most typical case is that he was the one who repeatedly invested in filming "Terminator" and completely made the audience want to complain when they saw the name of "Terminator".
　　 The rich second generation who probably didn't want to shoot "Terminator" is not a good pilot.
　　Also, after Ang Lee won the second Oscar trophy, he also started to play technology.
　　 Many people are very surprised, Ang Lee messed up a technology stream, why did she easily get the investment of a second technology stream movie?
　　 is actually very simple. Not only is the money owner rich, he spends money more willful.
　　 The investor behind Ang Lee is David Ellison.
　　No one knows how much of the adventurous spirit of this brother and sister comes from their rich father? But it is certain that in addition to a huge inheritance, Larry Ellison also left the self-confidence of others greater than heaven to a pair of children.
　　 Ronan vaguely remembered, as if he had heard of a biography about Larry Ellison, the name was like this-"What is the difference between God and Larry Ellison?" God feels he is not Ellison.
　　 After chatting with David Ellison about the Pacific Investment Fund, Ronan found George Lucas, who was not there for a while.
　　 "Those real-life fairy tale movies you mentioned," George Lucas kindly reminded: "If you want to achieve the desired effect, the expenditure on special effects is destined to be high investment."
Ronan smiled and said, "With the full support of Industrial Light and Magic, I have never worried about special effects." He turned and said, "The special effects of Star Wars represent the highest level in the industry. George, I really can no longer Have you seen the Star Wars movie?"
　　George Lucas said calmly: "It's over when it's over. I'm old and I don't have the energy to shoot anymore."
　　 "Are you old?" Ronan's temptation was so hidden that he couldn't even notice: "Clint Eastwood, the old cowboy, is still filming."
　　George Lucas pushed down his glasses: "The situation is different. Now Hollywood can no longer stimulate my creative passion."
　　 Ronan thought of the meaning behind this. George Lucas made too much money, and it was difficult to have enough motivation to continue shooting the film.
　　 "I have an idea." George Lucas said, "Maybe it's time for me to retire."
　　 Ronan answered naturally: "Retire?"
　　George Lucas is very serious, obviously not joking: "There is always a day to retire, and I don't want to be like Clint, who is still a director at 80."
　　 Ronan asked, "Do you have a retirement plan?"
　　 "Not yet." George Lucas said, "I just have such an idea."
　　 Ronan shook his head: "When you retired, Lucasfilm has no leader. Everyone in the circle knows that you did not cultivate successors for Lucasfilm."
　　George Lucas sighed, "So, I haven't thought about it yet."
　　 Ronan slowly said, "This is your freedom, and it is not convenient for me to say anything. Just... George, don't leave any regrets."
　　 As a person who knew George Lucas deeply, Ronan's words evoked George Lucas's mind. The "Father of Star Wars" said: "Some regrets are destined to accompany a lifetime."
　　 Ronan put on a very curious look: "Can you talk about it? Maybe I can help."
　　George Lucas smiled and said,
It’s not a secret. Lucasfilm has never taken back the copyright of Star Wars: A New Hope.

　　 Ronan said, "I remember it was in the hands of 20th Century Fox?"
　　 "Yes." George Lucas shook his head: "Lucasfilm tried to repurchase several times, but all failed."
　　 Ronan said, "I can always think of a way."
　　 George Lucas is more open-minded: "It's too difficult."
The 　　 cocktail party lasted towards eleven o'clock, and the guests left one after another. There will be a meeting place for the follow-up ending matters, so there is no need to worry about it.
　　 Ronan was also preparing to leave the clubhouse after meeting Jessica Felton.
　　 "Did you drink?" Ronan could smell a faint smell of alcohol.
　　 Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "I met some old classmates, out of politeness, I drank a little."
　　 Ronan said: "Stop driving, I'll take you back, and let the club send someone to take you back."
　　 Jessica Felton did not refuse, and got on Ronan's Rolls Royce, and the car quickly drove to the outskirts of Beverly Hills.
　　 "You said you want to shoot a live-action version of Disney's classic animated movie?" Jessica Felton asked: "Does it include the Lion King?"
　　 Ronan glanced at her ~EbookFREE.me~ and said: "Of course, such a sensational work, if real people...no, it should be a real animal version, there will definitely be countless people paying for it."
　　 Jessica Felton said: "I have been thinking about this film just now."
　　 "What to consider?" Ronan asked very cooperatively.
Jessica Felton said: "This film becomes a real... beast version, which can only be achieved through CG. It may be difficult now, but in terms of the speed of Hollywood's technological development, it will soon be achieved. But. Ronan, would it be awkward if a group of real beasts appeared on the big screen and spoke all English?"
　　 She further said: "The animated image speaks English, and the beast speaks English. I just imagine it and it feels completely different.
　　 Ronan tells the truth: "It's really awkward, but it's not a big problem. With the influence of cartoons, we can ensure that a sufficient number of viewers are willing to consume even if we only use copy and paste production methods."
　　 "Okay." Jessica Felton said: "You are the boss, you have the final say."
　　 The car quickly stopped in front of Jessica Felton’s cottage. Jessica Felton got out of the car and waved to Ronan: "It's late, go back early.".
　　 Ronan pointed to her feet: "Wear high heels, walk slowly."
　　On the way back, Ronan imagined the talking lion, the squeaky and crooked set of animal hunting dogs, and the many animals in the collective chorus. It was really strange.
