Chapter 646： Abrams' new project
Although he won the Oscar for best documentary short film and did a lot of preparatory work, Ronan is far from completely trusting in Marian Delrio's ability.
The female director is neither in his memory, nor has enough convincing works in the past.
Even if the investment required by Marian Del Rio is not high, Ronan still maintains sufficient caution.
Of course, this kind of caution is not to give up, but to sit in this position, the necessary work attitude.
The kind of thing that is shocking when you see the script, does not even consider the most basic market research and investment prospects, and regardless of the other party’s resume, how the response of the previous works, immediately shoots forehead and decides to start, should happen in a lunatic asylum. Not a normal person.
People with a little bit of basic knowledge in this industry know that once a film and television project investment is successful, the return is indeed good, especially it can bring long-term returns, but the risk is extremely high.
Risk control is a procedure that Hollywood can never bypass.
"The script is excellent, and your dedicated attitude makes me admire." Ronan said directly: "I will transfer your project to Shahai Entertainment."
Marian-Drio was overjoyed, and Shahai Entertainment has always been responsible for investment and production in the Relativity Entertainment Group.
Facing such a badly underqualified director and unfamiliar projects, how could Ronan easily let go? He also said: "I will notify Shahai Entertainment to sign a contract with you and allocate 300,000 US dollars. You will be responsible for shooting a 15-minute demo clip. What is the project? We will talk about it after you finish shooting the demo clip. ."
Hearing these words, Marianne Delio breathed a sigh of relief. Although she did not directly establish the project, she believed in her ability, which actually had a chance.
"I take the liberty to ask, when will the signing be completed?" Marianne Delio was still somewhat anxious: "When will the funds be available?"
Ronan smiled and said: "If the talk goes well, you can sign a contract within a week. The funds will not be given to you directly, but will be supervised by a third party."
Marianne Delio, a Hollywood director, said quickly, "I understand."
Ronan pressed the intercom, waited for Connie to come in, handed the file bag to Connie, and said, "Find someone and take Ms. Delio to Shahai Entertainment. You will send a D-level project notice to Shahai Entertainment."
Relativity Entertainment has its own division of film and television projects. The division mechanism is similar to Cinema's cinema audience rating, divided by A/B/C/D/E. Type E is the kind that is directly purchased from overseas and has general commercial value in North America. Projects, such as the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" and Stephen Chou's "Shaolin Football".
Category D belongs to low-to-medium investment projects with a certain value. The risks are relatively high, and the project personnel are required to provide samples and other materials.
Low-risk low- and medium-input projects belong to Category C.
Like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Iron Man" are classified as B, investing heavily in first-line projects that have not been tested by the market.
As for the A-category standard, it is very simple and clear. The two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the sequel of "The Bourne" are all in the A category.
To put it simply, it is a sequel to a hit movie.
This type of film has the least risk, has a large fan base, and has a very high return on investment.
Connie first found an assistant, and led Marian Derio with the file bag to the production department of Shahai Entertainment, and then returned to the work station to send three of three to Shahai Entertainment Production Department, George Clint and Ronan. Internal work emails.
This work is done in the preliminary process on her side.
When Ronan saw the email, he remembered one more thing and asked Connie to forward the email to Mark Randolph.
Netflix’s streaming media business will be launched in a few months. The TV series produced by Shahai Entertainment will not cooperate with other broadcasting platforms for the time being. Just like all the productions of "Prison Break" and "Survival from the Wild", Nai Fei is the most important broadcasting platform.
The same is true for this TV series about Chernobyl.
In fact, there are many controversies in Marianne Delio's script. This may not be a deliberate addition of subjective content, but comes from factors such as perennial cognition and the formation of personal worldview.
Is it accidental for people who grew up in the environment of the Cold War and received the so-called "liberal and democratic" education in the United States to discredit Lao Maozi?
Ronan was not surprised at all, nor did he have any thoughts of correcting it. It is estimated that most of the audiences facing the filming of this series will not have much different thoughts and opinions from Marian Derio.
This is not a documentary, nor is it a video material reflecting social reality, but a TV series.
The truthfulness of the incident is important, and the business prospects are even more important. Is this still a choice?
Hollywood has chosen the latter for decades, and Ronan is no exception.
Shahai Entertainment is definitely going to prepare more dramas and movies for Netflix. Jeff Abrams, who is preparing for "Hurricane Rescue 2", talked to Ronan about a TV drama project some time ago, which seemed a bit interesting.
Ronan simply went downstairs and went to the temporary office floor of the crew. In the preparatory office of "Hurricane Rescue 2", he met Jeff Abrams.
"How is it?" Ronan asked, "Jerifer, are the preparations going well?"
Seeing Ronan and hearing this question, Jeff Abrams couldn't help but complain: "Ronan, you took my male protagonist to shoot "Batman" and brought my heroine Can I go smoothly to shoot a youth idol movie? If not, "Hurricane Rescue 2" would have already started shooting."
Ronan could only comfort him: "They will return to the crew soon, and I promise that this film will be filmed in two months and will be released on time next year."
The heroine really blamed him. After the release of "Hurricane Rescue", Amanda Seyfried first went to film "Mean Girl" and now is filming "Mamma Mia". This is a movie project he initiated himself.
Thinking of Amanda Seyfried, Ronan suddenly realized that it seemed that Amanda had called several times, but her cell phone was on Connie's side, so she didn't receive it, so he might be complaining again.
As for the schedule of Liam Neeson, it has little to do with Ronan. "Batman: Hour of War" was filmed last year and will be released this month. Liam Neeson has also made two films recently, namely "Kinsey" "Professor of Sexology" and the epic masterpiece of the twentieth century Fox "The Kingdom of Heaven".
The schedule is so tight that several aspects must be coordinated.
"Hurricane Rescue 2" can only be postponed for the time being. Fortunately, there will be enough time in the future, and it will definitely be released on time in 2005.
Ronan also explained to the production department of Shahai Entertainment. According to the model of "Hurricane Rescue", he tailor-made "rescue" genre films for Liam Neeson. He did not directly outline the script and story, but asked the screenwriters to use airplanes and trains. With transportation vehicles such as ships as the background, the creation of rescue stories.
In short, we must let Uncle Nissen save the sky and the air.
Ronan talked to Jeff Abrams about the tension in the preparations for "Hurricane Rescue 2", and then asked: "Last time I heard you mentioned, do you have an idea about a TV series? "
Jeff Abrams nodded and said: "It was before the filming of "Hurricane Rescue", but during the filming of "Hurricane Rescue", the idea became clearer. Before the preparation of the sequel, I specially sorted out my thoughts, story background and main line. The plot has been written, and even the characters have been designed."
He looked at Ronan: "Are you interested?"
"Last time I heard you mention it, I didn't have time to listen carefully." Ronan said directly, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Because of Ronan’s relationship, the life path of Jeff Abrams has undergone tremendous changes. He became a film director earlier and enjoyed the dividends of success, but some ideas can only Snooze.
In terms of cooperation, he and Relativity Entertainment are a very pleasant type of cooperation.
As long as the cooperation between the director and the film company is successful, there will always be inertia, just like the model development of Hollywood movies, they will continue to develop along the successful model.
Therefore, Jeff Abrams is not at all repulsive about continuing to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, and Ronan's good reputation makes him basically have no concerns.
"You should have seen "Leaves of a Deserted Island" starring Tom Hanks, right?" Jeff Abrams asked.
Ronan nodded slightly: "I've seen it more than once, a very impressive movie."
Jeff Abrams bluntly said: "My thoughts on TV series originally came from "Remains of a Deserted Island", and then I was inspired by the reality show "Survivor", and then I was in Shahai Entertainment. I met Bell Grylls, who came back from overseas filming "Survival in the Wild," and chatted with him for a long time, and I really confirmed that my idea is feasible."
He smiled: "Actually, if didn't meet Bell Grylls, this idea may still only exist in my mind."
Ronan did not expect that the cooperation between Shahai Entertainment and Bell Grylls would have inspired Jeremy Abrams' new project.
Jeff Abrams said again: "I have basically determined the background of the story. I will bring it to you later."
Ronan said again: "Let's talk about it first."
"That's good." Jeff Abrams organized a little bit of language, and said as simple as possible: "The main story line is roughly like this, mainly about a passenger plane crashing on an island in the Pacific Ocean, and dozens of passengers were lucky. Survive. How can they survive on such a deserted island?"
He further said: "The survivors are of all different nationalities, races, cultural backgrounds, and personalities. They have fathers, sons, friends, and enemies. They have to overcome the bad weather and find food in the wild tropical jungle. , Shuiyuan, and a mysterious creature that makes everyone scream at night; what’s more difficult is that they must overcome their personal desires, eliminate barriers and divisions, and work together in the same boat to survive..."
The female director is neither in his memory, nor has enough convincing works in the past.
Even if the investment required by Marian Del Rio is not high, Ronan still maintains sufficient caution.
Of course, this kind of caution is not to give up, but to sit in this position, the necessary work attitude.
