Chapter 509: End feelings

After sending off Yassen Bernat, Robert Iger also left the water club and returned to Burbank.

Such negotiations between the two sides almost at the same time actually require a quick decision, but he cannot show any anxious attitude or even tone of voice, otherwise he will definitely not be able to talk about it.

Later, we must promote these two transactions as quickly as possible on the basis of sufficient confidence and stability.

Universal Pictures will be able to sign an agreement this week. The original plan was to use Relativity Entertainment's reserves to complete the transaction. The reserve amount will be reduced by 100 million U.S. dollars, which is likely to affect the group's ability to resist risks.

Now it's good, the funds to complete the transaction are successfully resolved.

Thinking of this, Robert Iger couldn’t help but smile. Although he couldn’t get the copyright of "Jurassic Park" that Ronan was thinking of, he could solve the "Hulk" and "Fast and Furious" series without consuming the group's financial resources for the time being. The copyright purchase funds can also be considered a successful goal.

As for whether the "Fast and Furious" series can continue to be successful, and whether "Hulk" will turn around, Robert Iger believes in Ronan's production ability.

He didn't have the slightest doubt about this now.

The Hulk is related to the Avengers project. Although "Fast and Furious" is a medium-to-low-investment road racing movie, cars belong to the mainstream culture and there is a lot to do if it is done well.

Robert Iger let out a sigh of relief. Although it is a pity to pass by Universal Pictures, this is limited by the objective conditions of Relativity Entertainment and can be solved by non-human resources.

Several plans for next year will also need to be completed by the chief operating officer, and we must start preparing now.

A promotion and salary increase are natural. Ronan has prepared him for the position of CEO long ago. If Relativity Entertainment Group can continue to expand in his hands, option rewards will not be a problem.

Robert Iger is very motivated, and feels more than ten times better than living without death at Walt Disney.

This job-hopping seems to be able to reach the pinnacle of life.

If he refused Ronan and stayed at Walt Disney, it would be hard to imagine.

Three days later, Robert Iger took the lead in signing an agreement with Ron Meyer, who represented Universal Pictures, and obtained all the copyrights of the "Hulk" and "Fast and Furious".

A week later, it reached a loan agreement with NBC, and Relativity Entertainment received a five-year US$100 million interest-free loan.

Although Relativity Entertainment is still creating momentum for the acquisition of Universal Pictures Entertainment Group, it has officially withdrawn from this acquisition competition.

After getting the copyright of the "Hulk" and "Fast and Furious" series, Ronan has no action for the time being. The former will not be useful until the Avengers project is launched. A separate Hulk movie must be planned well, at least not too much. Poor, and the former actors must be replaced.

Edward Norton has no problems with his acting skills and is very suitable for acting in unusual roles, but if he can't sign a long-term contract, he must be replaced.

Once Marvel Pictures only recovered the joint use rights of the Hulk from Universal Pictures, the Hulk could only appear as a co-star. Shooting the Hulk movie alone had to pay Universal Pictures a huge share, so "Invincible Hao There has been no independent Hulk movie released since "G".

The Hulk has many fans, and in Marvel’s superhero comics, it belongs to the first class of superheroes.

Shahai Entertainment did not have the worries of Marvel Pictures, and now the copyright is completely in its hands, and it can plan an independent Hulk movie.

Such as the story that the Hulk and Agent Natasha Normanoff had to tell?

As for the "Fast and Furious" series, the second part has just been released this summer, so don't worry about the third part.

The so-called "Tokyo Drift" is a pit, just jump over it.

Once the role of Han, it is estimated that when the Himalayas moved over in the eighth, they could not hold the coffin board. Without "Tokyo Drift", just replace this role.

And Gal Gadot.

Ronan just thought for a while, and quickly threw it behind his head, not making mistakes.

Entering October, Ronan made a special trip to East Asia and participated in the premiere of "Infernal Affairs 2" in a certain Xiangjiang River.

As the rescue of the Hong Kong movie, since the first one is a big seller, the sequel will naturally keep up.

There is no doubt that this is the last brilliance of Xiangjiang movies.

Ronan has watched countless Xiangjiang movies, which can be regarded as an end to a certain feeling.

After the premiere, Ronan received the script of "Infernal Affairs 3" from Andrew Liu according to the agreement. Although the plot is not as good as the previous two, it is also a rare conscience masterpiece.

After returning to Los Angeles, Ronan handed the script to Shahai Entertainment's screenwriting department, and the screenwriting department specially deployed staff to prepare the script.

The two screenwriters selected have participated in the screenwriting work of "Crime Scene Investigation" before. Although they are only members of the screenwriting team, they are very familiar with crime and police themes.

And before the transfer, these two people, as the heads of the screenwriting team, have just completed the script of "Prison Break".

Ronan is the chief creative officer of the group and is responsible for these tasks. He specifically talked to these two people. The two people left Los Angeles and went to Boston, where the traditional gang culture is strong, to collect the scene in Boston, preparing for the adaptation of the American version of the script.

it is necessary.

Ronan requested that only the general plot framework be retained, and other content including character setting and gang culture, all overthrow the original and rewrite.

In the final analysis, this film was made for Americans.

Relativity Entertainment’s movies are still being shown in theaters. Last month’s "Chainsaw", which caused a sensation last month, did not escape the fate of plasma horror movies. It fell to 6.58 million U.S. dollars, and the single-day box office of the new week working day dropped directly to about 500,000 U.S. dollars.

The North American box office of this film has currently accumulated a total of 64.14 million US dollars, and the global box office has successfully exceeded 100 million.

Although the plasma horror film has a short life cycle, the total investment of less than 10 million US dollars in exchange for more than 100 million US dollars in the box office, "Chain Saw" is bound to be ranked among various small-cost big box office movies in the future.

At the same time, the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" easily surpassed US$360 million, reaching a total of US$356.88 million.

The global box office is as high as 733.58 million US dollars.

This film created the highest North American box office record and the global box office record for Relativity Entertainment.

Hollywood's island genre films have undoubtedly fought a turnaround. Many people believe that after years of silence, pirate movies are about to usher in a golden age.

But the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" cannot be copied, because Captain Jack Sparrow cannot be copied!

After two months of repairs, Gore Wibinski reconvened the crew and went to Rosario in Baja California again to shoot the two sequels at once.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew was divided into two, the casting crew and modeling crew stayed in Los Angeles, recruiting new main actors, such as the selection of pirate kings.

Ronan is not intervening. The crew has a mature production and director team, and George Clint is staring at him, so you can rest assured.

The only news he cared about was that George Clint accepted Gore Wibinski's suggestion and invited Xiao Ma to become Captain Xiaofeng.

Of course, Ronan specifically talked with Gore Wibinski before the crew set off, reminding him not to ignore the fluency of the plot because of the focus on gorgeous special effects.

As for drastically compressing the special effects and spending the shots on the narrative, Ronan has no such idea.

Special effects are originally one of the biggest selling points of this type of film.

Frankly speaking, such a movie that tends to be younger, the main audience is teenagers, lively and gorgeous is the movie must.

Ronan holds the final editing rights of the film, and the post-production producer of the crew is Jessica Felton. The power of the film is actually completely under his control.

This film, as long as Captain Jack is there, there is no need to worry about no audience for the next ten years.

Once Walt Disney had to overthrow and start over, the poor reputation of the fourth and fifth films was only a secondary reason. The real reason was Johnny Depp.

At that time, Johnny Depp was in a very bad state. Related news was everywhere. Things like being late and playing big names were trivial. The pair with Amber Heard was really a "golden wind and jade." When they meet, they win but there are countless people on the earth." The scumbag meets the bad girl, and the negative news generated by the two is like Mars hitting the earth.

Johnson Depp has become a time bomb in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, or a completely uncontrollable one. No one knows when it will explode, blowing himself and his huge investment into the sky.

Then there is the pay of Johnny Depp. Although other films besides the pirates play a bad one, but as Captain Jack Sparrow who lives in the world, Johnny Depp is irreplaceable. , The high pay just made the producer vomit blood.

As a typical serialized movie star, Johnny Depp once had the super high pay of Robert Downey Jr., but he did not have the professionalism of Robert Downey Jr.'s prodigal son.

Also as a star actor cooperating with Disney, the gap between the two is too big Another good news is that Embassy Pictures officially released the DVD of "The Bournemouth 2" a week ago. Pushed into the distribution channel, sold 4.23 million sets within one week of listing, with sales of up to 79.21 million US dollars.

Starting with "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings" in 2002, the corresponding data for the annual sales champion of the North American DVD market has risen to 10 million sets in sales and more than 200 million US dollars in sales.

Ronan once read a statistic. About five or six years after "Finding Nemo" was released, the total DVD sales exceeded 16 million sets, and the total sales reached more than 320 million US dollars.

This looks quite exaggerated, but it is data jointly published by several third parties.

It is not an exaggeration to say that during the ten years from 2002 to 2012, Hollywood studios relied on DVD for profit.

While Ronan was paying attention to the DVD market, the famous Italian movie star Monica Bellucci suddenly visited the house.
