Chapter 945： Broaden horizons
Latest website: This initial interview went smoothly. Ronan then talked to him again, and Scott Swift accompanied him on a tour in Los Angeles to inspect many of the films and dramas invested by the Pacific Investment Fund. Items.
Both Ronan and the Pacific Investment Foundation have shown sufficient sincerity in cooperation, and there is no such high attitude that traditional American companies have to deal with Eastern investors.
Cooperation is a win-win situation, and respect is mutual, which is also conducive to attracting investors.
Moreover, this young-looking steel and natural resources tycoon is very interested in the entertainment industry, and it is said that he has an unusual relationship with some actresses in the local entertainment industry in his country.
Such a high-quality customer came to Los Angeles and came to the Pacific Investment Foundation. Of course, Scott Swift would not fail.
After many efforts, after a series of inspections by the investor and his team, the two parties finally reached an investment agreement.
With a fixed annual rate of return of 6%, the Pacific Investment Fund has attracted up to US$400 million in investment from the counterparty.
It has to be said that these tycoons in the natural resources industry have not so much cash flow in their hands.
Both parties will continue to discuss follow-up cooperation depending on the specific situation.
After opening many investment markets, the Pacific Investment Fund has, through unremitting efforts, with its good reputation and stable investment returns, has attracted more and more investors' attention.
Especially in the East, among the groups that are the first to get rich, there are many big men who are interested in developing into the film industry.
For example, the one who once built an urban commercial complex, within a few years, will frequently invest heavily in Hollywood and the North American film market, and even wanted to build Oriental Hollywood.
Ronan felt that when the time and conditions were right, he could talk to this about cooperation.
This is completely different from when he first faced the Arabs, that is, normal business cooperation will operate within the scope of compliance with laws and regulations.
Ronan also asked the Eastern Branch of Embassy Pictures to make preparations in advance, so as to meet the need.
This member, who seems to want to acquire the six major Hollywood companies more than once, has never been able to make the trip. Perhaps it can bring some help to the future plans of Relativity Entertainment.
It really doesn't work, you can also be a catcher.
After all, even if the acquisition of a film company is like Relativity Entertainment swallowing Artisan Pictures, some businesses are redundant for Relativity Entertainment.
But in the eyes of other companies, it may be a high-quality resource with great value and nowhere to buy it.
Ronan always believes that no matter what the plan is, there must be more filings.
At the same time, two good news came from Robert Iger. On the one hand, after several private consultations with Avi-Allard, Avi-Allard will step down as Marvel Entertainment after his contract expires in September this year. The position of chief executive officer, the new executive officer will be held by Ike Palmt.
Kevin Fitch will also be promoted to the CEO of Marvel Entertainment, who will be responsible for Marvel's film and TV series projects.
On the other hand, the expedition team sent by Relativity Entertainment to Estonia returned to Los Angeles and brought back good news.
Estonia is very sincere in cooperation, and its natural and cultural landscapes are also suitable for location shooting. In order to attract relativistic entertainment crews, not only will a professional studio area be established, there will also be some tax and fiscal policy tilts.
After a while, a team headed by Carmen Case and officials from the Estonian Department of Commerce will come to Los Angeles to negotiate with Relativity Entertainment.
Carmen Case also specifically called Ronan and exchanged some opinions.
Compared with some countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Estonia also has its own advantages, such as a very stable political situation.
The lack of some strategic resources is not a bad thing for many small countries.
Carrying a giant treasure, but without the corresponding protection ability, that is bad.
In mid-July, another copy of "The Martian" with the copyright held by Relativity Entertainment was published by Random House. It was similar to "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" when they were just released, and did not cause much sensation. , It takes time to ferment.
This can be regarded as relatively hard-core science fiction. Reading requires a certain threshold and the audience range is relatively small.
But it can always bring an audience basis for future film adaptations, which is a natural advantage of film adaptations.
At present, Hollywood as a whole is becoming more and more cautious about investing in medium-scale original film projects. It would rather stay in your hands for a few years than invest rashly.
Shahai Entertainment has another new film adaptation project this week, "King of the Sea", which is adapted from the comic of the same name by Mark Miller.
The film and television adaptation copyright of this comic has been in the hands of Shahai Entertainment for two years. In order to obtain the copyright from Mark Miller, Ronan also authorized the comic copyright of "Ace Agent" to Mark Miller.
At present, a new version of the comics closer to the previous "Kingsman" has been published through Marvel Entertainment.
Under Ronan's control, the early planning of "King of the Sea" was very fast. For example, he hired Guy Ritchie's deputy to serve as the deputy director and executive producer in "Two Smoke Guns" and "Snatching" Human Matthew Vaughan is the project director.
The British director was able to walk into the sight of Ronan and Shahai Entertainment not because of "King of the Sea", but "Thor" that Marvel Entertainment is doing in the early stages.
Matthew Vaughan submitted information to Shahai Entertainment and wanted to apply for the director of "Thor", but Ronan's resume, especially after the recently directed film "Sandwich Cake", felt that he was more suitable for "Hai Pian" The large-scale violent style of "The King" simply made Shahai Entertainment talk to him about this project.
The two sides hit it off.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment also found relevant information about Chloe Moretz.
Once the actress and child star, she has played supporting roles in many Hollywood movies and TV series since 2004. In the first half of this year, she also participated in the dubbing of the Disney Children's Channel animated series "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger".
Ronan was extremely impressed by the former super-killer. When he thought of this project, he always thought that the super-killer was the protagonist. He did not remember the inexplicable male protagonist of King Kepian.
From the data point of view, Chloe Moritz is in a mess, but the only problem is that he is only nine years old this year, and his age is a bit younger.
Ronan did not decide whether to choose Chloe Moritz or not. Together with the information of Dakota Johnson and other girl stars, he transferred it to director Matthew Vaughan. Consider the director's opinions.
Matthew Vaughan has just taken over this project, serving as a screenwriter and executive producer at the same time, which means that the script will be written by Matthew Vaughan.
The actual filming will not be until next year. White girls have always developed very fast, and maybe a little girl will grow up in more than half a year.
As an atypical superhero movie, it will definitely be rated as an R-rated movie in the future. Of course, "King of the Sea" cannot be as high as the investment of a Marvel superhero movie. Controlling the scale of investment is inevitable. If you spend 100 million dollars in it Filming and production, this film is more likely to lose money.
Ronan only set aside a $20 million production budget for "King of the Sea".
If Matthew Vaughan's filming and production can be a big success, the new "Ace Agent" can also be handed over to him.
Regarding headshot fireworks and Hundred People Killing, Ronan has long been communicating with Mark Miller, and the comics will add these elements that were once huge highlights.
For the new version of the comics, Marvel Entertainment adopts a typical comics cooperation model. Mark Miller has the right to create, but no copyright.
Nowadays, comics in North America are basically created like this.
Like the "Civil War" being serialized by Marvel Entertainment, the "New 52" series that DC Comics has just started to create are all of this type.
From science fiction to business, from big investment to small production, from horror films to literary awards, Relativity Entertainment has established an effective long-term mechanism.
As a typical literary entertainment, Ang Lee and Relativity Entertainment still have film appointments to be executed, but unlike commercial directors, such directors often require more free creative time and space.
"Brokeback Mountain" officially rolled off the North American theaters in mid-July, and the North American box office eventually accumulated US$121.56 million, making it the second highest grossing film by Ang Lee after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Overseas, the cumulative box office of "Brokeback Mountain" is also slowly approaching 100 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars.
For such a medium-to-low investment film, through the operation of the Oscar awards, it has won a big commercial victory.
Ang Li came to Ronan's office specially.
"What's the next plan?" Ronan asked directly.
"For the time being, I won't take the film rashly anymore." Li Ang had lingering fears about the failure of "The Hulk": "I plan to take a good rest for a while Ronan said: "Li, you have a good rest, Sha Hai The entertainment side is not a problem, time and plan can cooperate with you. "
Ang Li smiled and said: ""Brokeback Mountain" made me want to understand a lot of things, and thoroughly understand my own advantages and disadvantages. I decided to temporarily give up my mind, go around the world, look around, and continue to broaden my horizons. I believe this will help me in my future creations."
"This idea is very good." Ronan affirmed: "Experience something different, and you will always gain something."
Li An echoed: "That's what I think."
After some consideration, Ronan said, "At present, there are three largest film industry bases in the world, one is Hollywood and the other is Hong Kong City. You are familiar with both. My suggestion, if you have enough time, you can India Turn around, look at Bollywood filming and production, look at Indian film culture."
Ang Lee said: "India is already on my itinerary. I wanted to visit India and Bollywood very early."
