Chapter 959: Summon Shenlong

Seeing that the copy of "Dragon Ball" written by James Huang himself was placed in front of him, Ronan had nothing to say for a while. The reasons given by James Huang in the copy were also very powerful.
　　For example, the North American market of comics-based movies is popular, and the future prospects of this type will get better.
　　 For example, "Dragon Ball" has sold 180 million copies worldwide, which is the world's highest-selling comic.
　　 For example, as long as the first one succeeds, this manga can easily be serialized, bringing unimaginable huge benefits.
　　 And compared to the past, because of the success of the "Death Is Coming" series in the hands of Relativity Entertainment, James Huang is more confident and ready to make "Dragon Ball" a quasi-first-line and even a first-line commercial production in Hollywood.
　　 James Huang Xiang Ronan’s proposed production budget is as high as 130 million US dollars!
　　 Ronan certainly cannot agree that Riman’s main market is in East Asia. Strictly speaking, there are only two.
　　 Although North America also has a certain audience, it is a niche type. It is undoubtedly that it is impossible to support such a huge investment by relying on two markets alone.
　　 There were many Japanese comics adapted into movies by Hollywood, and many of them were famous works.
　　 But these adaptations, as long as the investment is slightly higher, all end up in the street.
　　 Even if James Cameron rolls up his sleeves himself, he can’t change this.
　　 Ronan has a special experience, and because of this experience, he has formed a very stubborn cognition: any adaptation that ignores cultural differences will end up bashing even his mother.
　　 For this reason, Ronan rejected the mechas and monsters of Mexican director Gilmore Del Toro.
　　 It is also impossible for him to invest in such a Japanese comic movie that is destined to cheat.
　　 Riman is very popular, but compared to its small market and circle.
　　 As for Hollywood's first-line commercial productions, in order to obtain sufficient profits, the North American market must explode, and the global market cannot be ignored.
　　 Japanese comics can only be popular in a corner, not suitable for global film adaptation.
　　 The development of 20 years later, Ronan is not very clear, but in the next 10 years, the theme of Japanese comics is only worth 20 to 30 million US dollars in adaptation.
No matter how high 　　 is, the money invested in it may be lost.
　　 Compared to adapting Riman to become a movie, it is easier to succeed in filmmaking that borrows Riman’s creativity and settings and then completely turns into a Hollywood model.
　　 There are many successful examples in this regard, such as "The Matrix", such as "Inception".
　　 But no one thinks that these movies have something to do with Riman.
　　Perhaps, these are the correct ways to open Hollywood to Japanese comics.
　　 Cultural differences cannot be ignored in the film market.
　　 Just like Lee Ang's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Americans looked good, but the audience in the East looked drowsy and felt that it was far less enjoyable than the martial arts movie of Old Monster Xu.
　　 But Mr. Xu’s martial arts films have no room for survival in North American theaters.
　　 Ronan couldn’t give the green light to James Wong’s project, but thinking of what Wen Ziren said, Connie contacted James Wong to ask about the latest situation of the "Dragon Ball" project.
　　 After Connie got in touch with James Huang, Ronan chatted with James Huang, roughly revealing his doubts about the project.
　　 In any case, James Huang has played a certain role in the development of Relativity Entertainment, and Ronan didn’t want to watch him walk on this street.
　　 But people are always changing with the change of status and status, and not everyone will follow the advice of former business partners.
　　 It is no exaggeration to say that these people who have been in Hollywood and have achieved success are mostly paranoid and will become more and more confident as they continue to succeed.
　　 This trend is very obvious, and it is reflected in more than 95% of directors, actors and various behind-the-scenes work types.
　　 For example, Ronan had vaguely reminded Heath Ledger and Paul Walker.
　　 But the former doesn't take his words seriously, the latter is obsessed with the speed of drag racing.
　　 The power of words is sometimes infinite, and sometimes pale and weak.
　　 James Wong thanked Ronan for his reminder and kindness, and said that he would treat this project with great spirit and avoid all kinds of mistakes...
　　 Ronan didn't say anything further, but asked Connie to focus on collecting detailed information about James Huang and the "Dragon Ball" project.
　　 Since James Huang has already negotiated a cooperation with the new partner Twentieth Century Fox, many matters are on the bright side, and the relevant situation is not difficult to inquire.
　　 Soon, the specific information was transferred to Ronan.
　　 Twentieth Century Fox has given the green light to "Dragon Ball", signed a cooperation agreement with James Huang Cao, and bought the film and television adaptation rights of "Dragon Ball" at the fastest speed, spending 5 million US dollars from the island country.
　　 Although it bears the title of the world's No. 1 selling comic, the copyright of Riman has always been difficult to sell at high prices in Hollywood.
　　 With the current enthusiasm for film adaptations of comics, if an American comic has such a sales volume, without a bid of tens of millions of dollars, don't even think about the copyright of film adaptation.
　　 Twentieth Century Fox has high hopes for the "Dragon Ball" project and hopes to create a successful comic-based film series in addition to the "X-Men" series.
　　 So, after they got the comic copyright and James Huang's director contract, they moved very fast in all aspects, such as determining the project's production budget.
　　According to the news from Relativity Entertainment, 20th Century Fox has set a production budget of up to 140 million US dollars for "Dragon Ball."
　　 At the same time, I am also preparing to invite star actors to perform.
　　 For market considerations, it is inevitable that the actor will definitely become an American.
　　 It is said that at the suggestion of James Huang, 20th Century Fox has sent an invitation to the famous Oriental superstar Pony Ma, asking him to play the role of Guixianren, the key teacher next to the actor.
　　This project, Ronan reminded no results, and it involved the 20th Century Fox, and finally he wisely chose to shut up.
　　 Since it is useless to say more, it is better not to say.
　　 Ronan is not surprised about the 20th Century Fox's photo project, because he had also watched James Wong's "Dragon Ball", and the title at that time was 20th Century Fox.
　　 Ronan specifically asked people to inquire about the behind-the-scenes situation of this project.
　　 For example, Twentieth Century Fox took the initiative and asked James Huang to cooperate in "Dragon Ball."
　　 Now, Ronan is absolutely sure that Fox is staring at relativity entertainment in the twentieth century, and has to take the path of relativity entertainment, leaving relativity entertainment nowhere to go.
"It's ok."
　　In the office, Ronan said to Robert Lee: "Twentieth Century Fox likes it, so let them dig it."
Robert Lee said: "In terms of personnel, they can only target people whose contracts have expired with us. They have long-term contracts. It is impossible to breach the contract because of the invitation of Twentieth Century Fox. The consequences are not that the actors and directors are willing. Acceptable."
　　 Ronan still exhorted: "Don't worry about people, Hollywood is the most lacking of people. But our projects, especially the projects I'm focusing on informing you to purchase copyright, must do a good job of confidentiality."
　　 Robert-Lee said: "You can rest assured in this regard, the key projects are all handled by a professional team directly under me."
　　 Ronan nodded slightly: "Don't be careless."
　　 "I understand." Robert Lee said again, "Where are we? Do you want to do something?"
　　 Ronan waved his hand: "Not for the time being. Our plan for the 20th Century Fox is a big plan. Don't make too many moves in advance to avoid attracting their attention."
　　 Robert-Lee said: "It just feels like something that belongs to us was taken away."
　　 Ronan said calmly: "What you may not be the best, nor may it be successful."
　　 How many projects did Fox take away from Relativity Entertainment in the 20th century? Are they planning to gather seven dragon and then summon the dragon?
　　 Hope that Fox will not vomit blood by then.
　　 Ronan made a simple calculation. In the last year, there seem to be many projects that are directly related to Relativity Entertainment identified by Fox in the 20th century.
There are "Pharaohs and Gods" directed by Ridley Scott, "Ten Thousand Prehistoric Years" directed by Roland Emmerich, "Robin Hood" starring Russell Crowe, the storm disaster blockbuster "Superstorm", Don't shoot the Terminator in "Terminator 4" which makes the audience sick and never give up.
　　 Now, there is another "Dragon Ball".
　　 For these large commercial production projects, the lowest production budget is 120 million U.S. dollars, and the highest may even be 200 million U.S. dollars~EbookFREE.me~20th Century Fox will surely be able to gather seven dragon to summon the dragon!
Relativity Entertainment also has the copyright of a Japanese comic. In order to attract James Cameron and obtain the independent investment rights in "Avatar", Ronan specially asked Robert Lee to visit the island country and bought the comics. The film and television adaptation rights of "Gunmeng".
　　 This is the comic that James Cameron thought of.
　　 However, things went more smoothly than Ronan expected. "Dream of Gun" was useless, and the copyright has always been in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.
　　 Ronan has no plans to adapt "Gunmeng" in the short term.
　　 The problem is still the same. If the investment is too high, this kind of Japanese comic film adaptation will be a rush.
　　 If the investment is not enough, the final effect of the film can only be cheating.
　　 As for James Cameron, Ronan felt that the truck driver was destined to fill the pit of "Avatar" for the rest of his life.
　　 In late September, Twentieth Century Fox and James Huang jointly held a press conference and officially announced the "Dragon Ball" project.
At the same time, good news came from Jessica Felton. At the just-concluded Toronto International Film Festival, "Juneo" participated in the festival competition. With the support of countless audiences, it won this year's Toronto. The highest award of the International Film Festival-Audience Choice Award.
　　 This instantly made Juno famous and became one of Hollywood's most watched small production films.
