Chapter 886： Can't let go

San Francisco Bay Area, St. John's Nursing Home.

This nursing home attached to a private medical institution has a great reputation throughout the United States. After Steve Jobs returned from India in a stable condition, he temporarily moved to recuperate here.

When Ronan came over, Laurenna Jobs came to meet him at the entrance of the nursing home.

"Is Steve better?" Ronan asked concerned.

Laurena Jobs led the way, and said as she walked, "The situation has stabilized." She smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to visit him."

Ronan politely said: "Yes, Steve and I are both friends and partners."

Laurenna Jobs didn't say much, and led Ronan towards a quiet courtyard.

Just as he was not stupid enough to persuade Steve Jobs not to go to India, Ronan did not have any idea to persuade Laurenna Jobs.

Ronan knows very well that the woman who can make a scumbag like him willing to marry is definitely not an ordinary person.

There is no need to say more about the great achievements of the Qiao Gang. After all, "everyone on earth knows", but he also has a wonderful side, and not only is wonderful, in the world of emotions, he is simply a scumbag, a man and a control freak.

Laurena Jobs, destined to be the richest woman in Silicon Valley in the future.

Frankly speaking, if a woman does not have very strong abilities, she will not own so much, whether it is property or the legendary Jobs.

Entering the courtyard, Steve Jobs sat on the chair under the promenade. He was in good spirits, but he looked a lot thinner.

"Steve." Laurena said loudly: "Ronan is here."

Ronan listened to the roar-like shouts, and looked at Laurenna and Jobs curiously, a little curious about the way they get along.

Jobs beckoned to Ronan: "Ronan, come and talk."

Laurena smiled embarrassedly at Ronan and said, "You guys talk, I'll prepare a snack."

"Thank you." Ronan saw that he turned and left and walked along the promenade to Jobs's side: "Good morning, Steve."

Jobs shook hands with Ronan, greeted him to sit casually, and said, "Why do you have time to come over?"

Ronan leaned back on the chair and said, "My old friend is sick, so I have to come and have a look."

"Afraid that I'm going to die now?" Jobs still said directly and ugly as always: "Then it will affect your investment in Relativity Entertainment."

Facing such a Jobs, Ronan did not deny: "Steve, we are tied together now."

Even if Jobs was seriously ill, he still tried to control the discourse initiative: "Don't worry, even if I die, Apple will follow the current path, and Pixar Studios will still implement the established transaction plan with Relativity Entertainment."

He glanced at the entrance of the courtyard: "I have talked with Laurenna a long time ago. Even if there is an accident, she will carry out our plan."

Ronan thought of Laurenna and asked, "Steve, you are very happy."

"Of course, Laurenna is my tigress." Steve Jobs did her part: "I flew to the sky happy."

He made no secret of this: "The happiness of Laurenna and I is something that a bachelor like you cannot appreciate."

Ronan smiled without saying a word.

Jobs seemed to show off: "We have had happy days and sad days, but we have never had bad days."

Ronan really didn’t know how to answer the conversation, so that Jobs, who often talked about it and described the developing windows operating system in front of Bill Gates as "this **** shit", said If this is the case, Laurenna Jobs is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, in the media and circles, there are endless rumors about Laurenna's scheming.

For example, Laurenna’s college roommate said in the media that the first time Laurenna met Jobs, it was carefully planned and so on.

But at the level of Ronan and Jobs, he didn't think this would be a problem.

For a good and powerful person, scheming and means are never derogatory terms.

Steve Jobs quickly turned the topic back: "Pixar Studio is already recognized as the number one in the industry, and I hope you won't mess it up in the future."

Ronan said naturally: "I pay such a big price, of course, Pixar Studios continue to be strong."

Jobs said: "Don't underestimate the Disney Animation Studios. They have a deep background. Once they adjust, they may catch up at any time."

No one knows this better than Ronan. Once Disney's animated films have undergone transformation, they have become stronger.

"If they are too far behind, it's not easy to catch up." Ronan said: "Disney Animation Studios..."

Jobs answered naturally: "We must weaken Disney as much as possible."

Ronan understood the grievances between Jobs and Disney and asked, "Can't let it go?"

Jobs asked back: "Ten years of exploitation, can you let it go?" He reminded again: "Don't forget what you said."

Ronan smiled: "A continuous chaotic Disney is not in the interest of Relativity Entertainment?"

"I can understand your investment in Pixar Studios." Jobs held the arm of the chair and asked a question: "Why do you keep investing in Apple?"

Ronan was not surprised by Jobs' problems, saying: "In the beginning, I thought Steve Jobs was worth the investment, but then I learned that Apple has a smart phone development plan..."

He didn't continue, but instead asked: "Steve, why do you have to have shares in Netflix?"

Steve Jobs took a look at Ronan and slowly said, "Mobile smart devices represent the future. I firmly believe that." He stretched out his palm and gestured like a mobile phone: "Future, social, music, Audio-visual, entertainment, and even finance and stocks can all be operated through such a small terminal. Your Netflix is ​​the Internet company that best meets my future expectations. Like Apple, it represents the future! And the future is value unlimited!"

Ronan smiled: "Steve, we are actually the same kind of people, so I don't need me to give you reasons anymore, right?"

Jobs also smiled: "I don't really need it anymore."

It is a company that focuses on interactive entertainment on the Internet and focuses on the mobile side. It is still the industry leader. Apart from Netflix, there is no other company.

Ronan glanced at his watch and said, "You need to rest, so I won't bother for long."

Jobs didn't want to stay, and stood up to see off the guests: "Ronan, I am a very small person. If you want me to live longer, let Disney continue to mess up."

Maybe Jobs had problems of this kind, but it was very clear that Ronan also hoped that Jobs would live a few more years, replied: "I like a Disney that continues to be chaotic and declining."

Therefore, in a short period of time, he and Jobs have many similar interests.

As for the long-term, you don’t need to think too much. After all, Jobs suffered from pancreatic cancer.

Ronan left the nursing home, went to Netflix again, and returned to Los Angeles that day.

The next day, at the Theory of Relativity Building, he met John Waters, whom George Clint asked to make an appointment.

The "trash pope" in the director circle is the exact opposite of the most famous character in his work, thin and scary.

The two exchanged a few words, and Ronan went directly to the topic: "John, I want to confirm one thing first. According to my understanding, the opera adaptation of "Hairspray" has also participated in the new line film industry. Is the copyright clear?"

John Waters is not a newcomer to Hollywood. Of course he understood Ronan’s meaning. He immediately said: "I was first preparing to cooperate with New Line Films on this project. Since two years ago, I have submitted this to New Line Films. For the project, Robert Shea also promised to invest, but I have waited for two years, but New Line Pictures has been reluctant to honor the promise."

He seemed to be a little emotional, speaking very fast, and a little excited: "Last week, I went to Robert Shea again, but he said that all the funds of New Line Pictures were invested in the "Golden Compass", let me continue Waiting for a year. I’ve had enough and don’t want to wait any longer. I just saw Relativity Entertainment’s "Mamma Mia". You have a lot of money and you have a guarantee in the production of singing and dancing movies..."

Having said so much, John Waters never mentioned the main point.

Ronan had to ask again: "You have the copyright?"

"Yes, I can guarantee this." John Waters finally replied: "The 1988 movie was originally made by me looking for funds. The copyright has always been in my hands. When the opera was adapted, I tried my best to keep it. The copyright is lost for filming."

Ronan said: "I declare in advance that if you cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, the copyright of the movie must be owned by Relativity Entertainment. You are an old man in the industry and know the industry practices."

"I understand." John Waters said, "but you have to buy it out at a reasonable price."

Ronan said: "Let me talk about buyouts or talk about your project."

John Waters asked: "Have you read my plan and script?" Seeing Ronan nodding, he said again: "In a small apartment in a slum area in Baltimore, I lay in bed and created this story. I once watched the local TV dance show'Buddy Dean Show' and I was quickly attracted. At that time, like all white children, I always listened to black music in secret. We were able to listen to three A black radio station."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I believe this will be a resonant film. While it is interesting, it also pays attention to some social issues, but I will never be nagging and reasoning. Here I want to It explains that there has never been a fat girl participating in a real-life'Buddy Dean Show', which is why I created a heroine. For me, a fat girl like a heroine is destined For someone who will fail, her dream is to dance on TV to represent the wishes of everyone who is discriminated against."

Ronan thought a lot, anti-discrimination is a good subject, especially in the North American film market in the next few years.
