Chapter 221： Old fox

? At the lounge in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria, Ronan is looking at an invitation letter, which was faxed by Ang Lee, director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and invited Ronan to attend the Los Angeles film review a few days later. People's Association Awards Cocktail Party.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not been officially released in North America, the related publicity and public relations work has already begun.

Ang Lee put all his energy into it, and of course these film critics who can wave the banner will not let it go.

"We stay here for two more days." Ronan put down the invitation letter and said to Robert: "Wait for Marvel to take back the copyright of Iron Man before going back."

Marvel urgently needed money. As soon as the agreement was signed, it contacted Xinxian Pictures to discuss the recovery of Iron Man's copyright.

Although Xinxian Pictures asked for a high price of 3.5 million U.S. dollars, but with Shahai Entertainment paying the bill, Marvel's talks basically went smoothly and will soon sign a copyright recovery agreement with Xinxian Pictures.

The homeless son is going home, but the parents bought it back just to sell it at a better price.

The Marvel superheroes of this era, as long as they are well-known enough, live a full life.

Robert asked at this time: "By the way, Avi Allard asked me yesterday, when will these authorized characters start to adapt the film?"

"Don't worry." Ronan said: "It will take five years at the earliest, or even seven or eight years later. With the strength of relativity entertainment, the recent adaptation cannot maximize the benefits."

If you want to maximize the benefits, we still need to see how far the relativity entertainment can develop, and then see if there are suitable opportunities.

And the copyright of the Hulk is still in the hands of Universal Pictures.

In the previous life, Universal Pictures used the Hulk card's Marvel and Disney to be ecstatic.

After "Invincible Hulk", Marvel has repeatedly wanted to take back the copyright of the Hulk and shoot a single-player movie. However, once filming, it will give the world a lot of rights and profits. "Union" was a huge success, and no independent Hulk movie was made.

And Spiderman...

Sony Columbia is already preparing for this "Spider-Man" movie. As long as the box office is as successful as the previous life, Sony will definitely hold onto Spider-Man's thighs.

In the previous life, DreamWorks Pictures had problems with Spielberg, and Sony Columbia Pictures had a bad performance and shot Spider-Man.

Robert reminded: "There is a key funding issue for superhero movies. This type of movie requires too many special effects, and special effects are very costly."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Therefore, before we start the superhero movie project, we must establish a more complete and broad funding channel."

Special effects must not be faked at all. The special effects that cost 30 million US dollars and 50 million US dollars can be distinguished at a glance, and there is no place for speculation.

But superhero movies are the type that needs special effects the most.

Ronan roughly remembers that in his previous life, in 2005, Marvel decided to start shooting "Iron Man" movies. However, funding was still a big problem. The budget of "Iron Man" was not something that Marvel could afford. So Marvel and Merrill Lynch Securities signed an agreement to mortgage the copyrights of many roles such as Thor and Captain America, in exchange for nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in investment.

If "Iron Man" fails, Marvel will not have another chance, because Merrill Lynch will immediately own the copyright to the mortgage role.

This is a big bet, and Marvel won the bet, using the method of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Ronan remembered one more thing and asked, "How about the copyright of the short story Anne-Plux?"

"No contact yet." Robert told the truth: "When I came to New York, I have been staring at Marvel, and I haven't talked with Annie Plux."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, it's Christmas soon. You can go back to Los Angeles for a vacation. It's not too late to come back to talk after the New Year.

In this era, how many people are interested in homosexuality or short film copyright?

Even Ang Lee, who chose this project, was forced to have no choice but to die.

Ang Lee is not suitable for purely commercial movies. The author's style is too strong. The Hulk...

Ronan never wanted to remind Ang Lee in the past that it would be too difficult for Universal Pictures to get the copyright of the Hulk if it didn't make a big deal on the "Hulk" project.

In the previous life, perhaps it was the fiasco of "The Hulk" that led to the "Invincible Hulk" that Marvel cooperated with Universal Pictures, and the Hulk joined the Avengers.

It is difficult to extract copyright from the six major companies, and the opportunity is too rare.

No need to do anything anyway, just wait steadily.

Ronan talked to Robert about the acquisition of copyrights. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing by, and soon a low quarrel came from the rest table behind him.

One of them sounds familiar.

Looking back, Ronan saw a short-haired Asian man talking in a huff. On the other side was a tall white girl with a height of 1.8 meters.

The two voices were low, and they spoke fast, and they couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, but they were obviously fighting.

The tall girl Ronan knows and has met several times before. Angela Lindevo, now the hottest supermodel, was just named 2000 Model of the Year this month.

The Asians who quarreled with her looked very strange. According to Western standards for Asians, the appearance was very unique and quite recognizable.

But from an Asian aesthetic point of view, this woman has small eyes, a flat nose, freckles, and a face like a cake. She looks very weird. At first glance, she looks like a live version of a ghost doll Hanako.

Ronan recognized her here. After all, this face has appeared in many Hollywood movies.

Compared with Devon Aoki, the traditional American girl Angela Lindevo is simply a stunning beauty.

The quarrel only lasted less than a minute. Devon Aoki seemed to give in and left soon. Angela Lindevo turned his head and saw Ronan.

The two knew each other, and Ronan had to say hello to her with a smile: "Good morning, Angie."

"Ronan." Angela Lindeman had a smile on her cold face: "Why are you here?"

Seeing these two people say hello, Robert was very witty and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving now. Call me if I have something to do."

Without waiting for Ronan to respond, Robert left directly.

Ronan looked at Angela Lindevo: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Angie."

"I came to New York to work." Angela Lindevo said with a smile: "I just checked into the hotel yesterday."

Ronan tried to invite: "Please sit down."

Angela Lindevo came over, sat opposite Ronan, and said, "Isn't your company in Los Angeles?"

"Come to New York on a business trip." Ronan said, "I also live in this hotel."

Angela Lindevo asked, "Is Carmen too?"

Ronan knew that she was asking Carmen Case, sighed lightly, and said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Angela Lindevo immediately understood the meaning of Ronan's words and said, "Sorry..."

"It doesn't matter." Ronan briefly explained: "Carmen's business is in Europe, and I am in the United States."

Angela Lindevo nodded slightly. It seems that the two broke up for a reason, and said: "Carmen is a very ambitious person."

Ronan nodded in response, and then asked, "Is Carmen in New York?"

"No, she rarely comes to the United States to work." Angela Lindevo took a look at Ronan and said specifically: "You have been with Carmen for so long, and you should know that she rarely comes to the United States."

Ronan said, "Yeah, this is the problem."

Angela Lindevo raised her eyebrows and looked like an old fox, and said: "If you divide by region, Carmen is a European model, like me is an American model. European models are basically focused on Europe, while American models Although I often work in Europe, I actually stay in the United States most of the time."

She added: "For example, Devin Aoki just now, she is American, and she lives in New York most of the time."

Ronan asked specifically: "She is also a model?"

"Yes." Angela Lindevo seemed to have calmed down: "Devin Aoki is still a very powerful model. The year before last, he replaced Naomi Campbell and became the number one spokesperson for Versace. This year I grabbed it from me. Got an advertisement for a Chanel product."

She seemed very open: "This is why I quarreled with her."

It is not surprising that Ronan, the actresses are everywhere in Hollywood, and the more competitive model scene will not be any better.

"I'm a little weird." Ronan stood on Angela Lindevo's side in doubt, "Devin Aoki looks so weird, why did anyone ask her to speak for him?"

Hearing this, Angela Lindevo couldn't help laughing, still smiling happily.

Because she had a good relationship with Carmen Case, she had previously learned about Ronan with Carmen Case and knew that this was the boss of the Hollywood studio, a big man who made hundreds of millions of dollars in a movie.

Such a person with status and status faintly praised her in words and belittled Devon Aoki, which made people feel quite cheerful.

Ronan could perceive the change of Angela Lindevo deliberately asked: "Am I wrong? I know that models pay attention to recognition, but this recognition should not be like Angie. In this way, it is amazing at a glance, can you keep it in your mind?"

Angela Lindevo is very useful, shrugging playfully, and said: "The right to speak in the fashion circle is in the hands of very few people. Devon Aoki is now Karl Lagerfeld's darling."

Ronan could only secretly sigh that Karl Lagerfeld's aesthetic is really extraordinary, he has transcended all mankind.

Think about the models who are favored by Karl Lagerfeld. Except for a handful of them, most of them are quite normal.

It is indeed very recognizable.

The two chatted for a while, when it was almost noon, Ronan invited him: "Anji, is it an honor to invite you to lunch?"
