Chapter 652： Time Warner's invitation

In the VIP room of the theater, Ronan had just chatted with Christopher Nolan, and Zach Schneider came to him. Faced with such a high-end premiere, the British director, who has not yet released any film, seemed somewhat a little bit different. cautious.

After all, no one knows and is ignored, it is always more embarrassing.

Zach Schneider and Christopher Nolan were introduced, and the latter said to Ronan: "Hugh Jackman and Christian Bell are training and learning from the magician, and the heroine I chose Miss Scarlett Johansson... …"

In terms of interpersonal communication, Christopher Nolan is equally good: "It will not be later than the end of October, and "Fatal Magic" will be ready for shooting."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I have faith in you."

Zach Schneider watched Ronan and Christopher Nolan talk, but couldn't intervene, a little helpless.

No way, it's really hard for an under-famous little person to speak in front of a big one.

Ronan ended the conversation with Nolan, seeing how embarrassing Zach Schneider was, and said to him: "Go, Zach, I'll take you to an old friend."

Passing through the crowd, countless people enthusiastically greeted Ronan.

For most people, Ronan just smiled and nodded.

Zach Schneider has a more intuitive understanding of Ronan's position and influence in the Hollywood industry.

"Hi, Ronan."

Before getting close, Charles Rowan came over to greet Ronan, and then shook hands with Zach Schneider, making no secret of his appreciation: "Zach, you are welcome to come to the premiere."

Zach Schneider quickly smiled and said, "The premiere opened my eyes."

Ronan said at this time: "Charles, Zach is not very comfortable with the environment here, I still have something..."

Charles Rowan hurriedly answered: "Ronan, hand over Zac."

Ronan nodded, and said to Zach Schneider: "Call me if you have something."

Zach Schneider needs to get closer to Charles Rowan.

Charles Rowan is the producer representing Warner Bros. and DC Comics in Nolan's "Batman: Hour of War". If nothing else, Charles Rowan will continue to serve as the next two Batman movies. This role.

Originally Charles Rowan was the best and most famous producer of Warner Bros., coupled with the effect of the new "Batman" movie, in the future Charles Rowan must be Warner Bros. and DC Comics to pioneer the "Justice League Universe" "The producer of choice.

Not far away, two people were observing Ronan's side.

Kevin Tesohala motioned Ronan with his eyes: "Stephen, this is Ronan Anderson."

The middle-aged man named Stephen looked over there with interest: "Younger than the pictures in the media."

"Young, but very powerful." As the head of Warner Bros.'s film business, Kevin Tesuhara seemed to feel deeply moved: "The Hour of War has been screened for four times and won unanimous praise. The pre-sale box office in North America exceeded US$15 million can almost declare the commercial success of the film, and Batman will be resurrected again. But this resurrection, Ronan Anderson is the key."

Stephen smiled: "I've also heard of it. The director Christopher Nolan was highly recommended by Ronan Anderson. The plot selection borrowed from "The Dark Knight Returns" is also his push. It is said that Warner Bros. did not restart the Batman movie. Intended, Ronan Anderson persuaded you."

Kevin Tesuhara has some of the characteristics of an island nation. He is not embarrassed, but admires: "Without Ronan Anderson, there would be no resurrection of Batman on the big screen."

His voice changed abruptly: "Unfortunately, Ronan Anderson is now the master of Marvel."

Stephen said, "This is not a bad thing."

Kevin Tesohala was puzzled first, then came to his senses, and tried to ask: "Is there any consideration at the head office?"

Stephen did not answer, and pointed to the other side: "Help me introduce Ronan Anderson."

The two quickly came to Ronan.

"Steven, this is Ronan Anderson, the Hollywood ace producer." Kevin Tesohala quickly introduced both sides: "Ronan, this is Stephen Case, the CEO of Time Warner."

Although it was a bit strange that the CEO of Time Warner Group appeared in front of him, Ronan politely shook hands with Stephen Case: "It's very nice to meet you."

Stephen Keith smiled and said, "Me too." His voice changed: "Mr. Anderson brought a masterpiece to Warner."

Ronan said: "You are welcome, Relativity Entertainment accounted for more than half of the investment in this project."

Kevin Tesohala glanced at Ronan curiously, and then at Stephen Case with a little doubt, not understanding why Stephen Case had faintly targeted Ronan.

Stephen Keys’ words clearly regarded Ronan as a producer employed by Warner and his subordinates, while Ronan’s words emphasized that the two parties are investment cooperation.

"I heard that Mr. Anderson is preparing a Marvel superhero movie?" Stephen Keys asked.

Ronan's voice is relaxed: "Iron Man, try to see the effect."

Stephen Case further asked: "You are very optimistic about the market prospects of these Marvel superheroes?"

Ronan was a little helpless: "I also think that Marvel's first-line superheroes such as "Spider-Man" or "Fantastic Four" are being prepared, but there is no copyright."

"I have a better suggestion, maybe Mr. Anderson can consider it." Stephen Keys's words jumped: "Warner Bros. has more experience in the production and distribution of comic superhero movies, and Mr. Anderson can have more in-depth discussions with him. Warner Bros. cooperation."

Ronan was wary for an instant, but his face remained calm, and said, "Oh? Mr. Case, can you talk more about it?"

Stephen Case said easily and freely: "The current CEO contract of Warner Bros. is about to expire. Time Warner will not renew his contract. I wonder if Mr. Anderson is not interested in the position of the CEO of Warner Bros.

This was completely beyond Ronan's expectation, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Kevin Tesuhara almost stunned, because he has always wanted to compete for the position of the next Warner Bros. CEO.

Stephen Keith continued: "Mr. Anderson, you become the CEO of Warner Bros. Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment are one family, and all resources can be shared."

Ronan has already understood that this seemingly very special opinion is, in the final analysis, Time Warner's desire to swallow the relativity entertainment.

"I think this opinion is good." Ronan said directly: "Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment are combined into one. I want an absolute controlling stake."

Stephen Keith asked back: "Mr. Anderson believes that the value of relativistic entertainment is above Warner Bros.?"

Ronan's face is so thick: "In my heart, that's the case."

"I think..." Stephen Keys meant something: "The value of Relativity Entertainment is less than one-third of Warner Bros."

Ronan slightly stretched his hands: "The differences are too great. It seems that I can't be the CEO of Warner Bros."

Upon hearing this, Kevin Tesohala interjected in due course: "Ronan, you are doing a good job now, and it feels best for you."

Ronan laughed twice and said, "It makes sense." He didn't want to play this kind of trial game with Stephen Keys: "Kevin, Mr. Keys, and a director is waiting for me, let me go."

"You're welcome." Kevin Tesuhara wished Ronan to leave quickly.

Ronan called Zach Schneider and entered the theater together.

Sitting on the chair, Ronan shook his head slightly when thinking of Stephen Case's words. More and more people and companies are eyeing Relativity Entertainment.

Perhaps, in the eyes of media giants like Time Warner, Relativity Entertainment is an exceptionally delicious cake, and you can't wait to swallow it in one bite.

Fortunately, Relativity Entertainment is not listed, and there will be no financial difficulties for the time being.

Otherwise, whether it is listed or financing through other channels, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble, and if it is not done, Relativity Entertainment will change its owner.

The Pacific Investment Foundation can still find investment from overseas to guarantee the production budget. Each of the big-selling films can be regarded as cash cows, bringing abundant liquidity and reserve funds for Relativity Entertainment.

Perhaps waiting for Netflix to go public can distract some companies and find new partners for Relativity Entertainment through financing.

Ronan's attitude towards Netflix is ​​very clear. Just like Steve Jobs currently controls the Pixar studio that is already on the market, he has a controlling stake in Netflix.

Even if the Pixar studio goes public, Steve Jobs has personally held close to 51% of Pixar's shares.

"The movie is about to begin."

I don't know who said such a sentence, and then the whole theater fell silent.

The first thing that lights up is the opening of Warner Bros., and then the opening of Shahai Entertainment. Both of these openings show a strange blue-black color, which represents the darkening style of the whole film.

The first part of the series will inevitably need to reshape the image of Bruce Wayne to determine the overall style of the film, and the information disclosed in the prior publicity is also enough. "The Hour of War" is about Bruce Way Um how and why the process of becoming Batman.

Batman is not born to be Batman, nor is he actively incarnate into Batman. This is a painful and even darkening process, and Bruce Wayne's soul even undergoes a wash in the process.

Fear is undoubtedly the most important theme that the film begins to show.

From the beginning of the film, the childhood Bruce Wayne fell to the bottom of the well and was attacked by a group of bats. Fear, this human instinct was stimulated throughout the film.

To a certain extent, this fear indirectly killed his parents.

The hatred for the murderer, the anger in the heart, the fall of the city, the confusion about the future, the hatred for crime...

To be strong, a person needs not only the body, but the same strong heart.
