Chapter 1042： Look towards money

Completely different from Pixar Studios, Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio’s animation films have been committed to producing the “idiots become heroes” animation stories that audiences of all ages like, because everyone has had similar experiences, Or similar dreams, and this kind of entertainment-oriented animation blockbuster can just make them have a certain empathy, at least it can resonate at the entertainment level.

This time, the panda successfully entered the North American film market.

In the words of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, pandas can obviously rely on their strength to feed, but they make a living by selling cuteness.

It is said that in myths and legends, this kind of ferocious animal called the iron-eater in ancient records has also served as Chi You's mount.

I have to say that in terms of film culture, what is really popular in the international market in the East is actually the type of Kung Fu.

The box office results of "Kung Fu Panda" were delivered to Ronan as soon as possible.

North America’s opening results, with the relatively stable trend of animated films, will eventually lead to a North American box office of more than 250 million US dollars.

The performance in the international market will not be bad.

Switching to other films with Oriental as the main element of expression, Ronan may be worried, but the combination of Kung Fu and Panda can have an extremely wide audience.

The Oriental Market is the only one that opened paintings at the same time as North America. Unlike Pixar’s animated feature films, the response to "Kung Fu Panda" is extremely popular across the Pacific Ocean.

Touted and belittled this film, the voices in the media in the East have been shared.

The former believes that Eastern culture has truly rushed out of the country to the world, and it has also had a huge impact. There are even people who are too optimistic and have ulterior motives claiming that Hollywood is helping the East to promote martial arts culture around the world.

Behind it, I have to say that there is the shadow of the Eastern Branch of Embassy Pictures, which is following the route of good friends of the Eastern people.

Of course, the purpose is ultimately the growing wallet of the people of the East.

These Hollywood businessmen, for the sake of business interests, even the United States dare to sell, let alone other?

The degrading voice thinks that this is the immortality of the American emperor's selflessness, and the conspiracy is being planned through the national treasure!

Where is so complicated, everything is just Hollywood looking to the money.

Some filmmakers with keen sense of smell in the oriental film industry have discovered from "Kung Fu Panda" that the oriental culture can also be popular and sold globally through international packaging.

The background, architecture, music, five types of boxing techniques, dragon totem, firecrackers, noodles, and steamed buns in this film, of course, also includes the setting itself of using pandas as the protagonist and kung fu as the selling point. The expression forms are all oriental elements.

But the core of the film is typical of Hollywood.

"I heard that a film group company in the East sent a team of dozens of people."

During the lunch break at noon, Jessica Felton specially bought lunch and came to Ronan’s side. After eating and resting, she chatted: "It is said that there is a group specializing in animation production and has gone to work in animation at Shahai Entertainment. I'm asking for advice and studying."

She tried to make a cup of green tea for Ronan: "I heard that they are very interested in "Kung Fu Panda"."

Luonan held up the teacup Jessica Felton had placed in front of him, took a sip, and said simply: "Sandhai Entertainment will deepen the cooperation with the Easterners in production."

More, he didn't say much, many decisions are still on the plan.

Single animation production, such as "Little Pig Peppa", "Kung Fu Panda" and "Transformers", are all within the scope of possible future cooperation.

In addition, Shahai Entertainment and Pacific Investment Foundation will also accept more legitimate investments from the East.

Jessica Felton didn’t say much, but instead asked, "Is the tea I made okay?"

"Very good." Ronan took another sip: "I have 90% of my skills."

Jessica Felton is used to holding his chest with both hands: "This is much simpler than making coffee. Put in tea, pour in boiling water..."

Ronan deliberately said: "It seems that making coffee is also these two steps?" He did not dwell on this topic, and asked: "Where is the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4"?"

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "It's almost the end stage." She said openly: "When this film is finished, I will officially move to your side."

The knock on the door sounded, Ronan said please come in, Connie pushed the door and walked in, first nodded slightly to Jessica Felton, and said to Ronan, "Charles Rowan from Warner Bros. called To determine if you can attend the premiere of The Dark Knight."

This weekend, "The Dark Knight" will be fully released in North America. Unlike other film premieres, this premiere will be solemn, solemn and heavy because of the God-Making Project.

Although the new "Batman" movie series will soon have nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment, Ronan thought about it after thinking about the fact that Warner Group has never expressed its position on the invitation of Twentieth Century Fox and the DC Justice League universe project. "Tell them that I will be present at the premiere."

Jessica Felton heard the name of the "Batman" movie and didn't know why. The first thing that came to mind was not the big bat, but the pale clown!

She couldn't help patting her forehead, which was obviously influenced by Warner Bros. propaganda.

Sure enough, the dead are more important to the movie than the living.

"One more thing." Connie didn't say directly.

Upon hearing this, Jessica Felton was very conscious and it was time to say goodbye.

She stood up and said to Ronan, "I'm going back first."

Ronan didn't mean to stay, and nodded gently: "I will call you if I have something."

Jessica Felton got up and left.

When the office door closed, Connie continued: "The team from the East wants to get authorization from our film library..."

Relativity Entertainment After years of accumulation and acquisition, the current film library has more than 30,000 film and television drama copyrights, which is not inferior to the Big Six in Hollywood.

Ronan thought a little, and said: "Tell George Clint that authorization can be negotiated, and the price is according to Hollywood conventions. Also, the authorization time should not be too long, preferably within five years."

Connie took it down quickly.

The copyright of the 　　 film library is the most stable source of income for large film companies. Thanks to Netflix, a dominant platform, the film library of Relativity Entertainment, it now generates hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year.

Connie just left, Scott Swift came over, and brought a heavyweight news.

"Last month, I went to the East again."

Probably it has attracted a lot of investment in the Eastern market. Crossing the Pacific has become a monthly task for Scott Swift. Even when the work is very busy, he will guarantee to go once every quarter. He had no feelings at this moment: "The speed of development over there is too fast. It is really changing with each passing day. The wealthy and their finances are growing rapidly."

Ronan nodded slightly, and said, "An economic miracle is being created over there." He looked at Scott Swift: "Why, have you got a new investment?"

Scott Swift said very seriously: "There are several potential investors. One of them came to Los Angeles. He holds in his hands a huge wealth even in North America, and he is very important to the film industry. very interested."

"Tell me?" Ronan was a little curious.

Scott Swift handed a piece of information to Ronan, and at the same time briefly introduced: "This person's surname is Lin. He controls a business that consists of hotels, shopping malls, movie theaters, real estate development, and urban integrated commercial complexes. A huge group company."

Ronan also saw the introduction in the materials. This person named Lin Jian was once famous. The Qianlu Group in his hand once bought and bought all over the world, and gained a lot in Hollywood and North American film industry.

This person turned up unexpectedly and got involved with the Pacific Investment Foundation. Combining his memories, what benefits can Relativity Entertainment bring?

Ronan quickly scanned the information and asked, "What does this person or his company think."

"This Mr. Lin is very interested in investing in the Pacific Foundation." Scott Swift told the truth: "Of course, this kind of investment is more like a closer relationship between the two parties."

Ronan can roughly guess that the other party should not lack investment channels. The so-called investment is more like asking for directions.

Scott Swift continued: "He also hopes to have further cooperation with us, especially in the film industry. This Qianlu company has one of the largest continuous cinema chains in the Oriental film market, and also wants to get involved in movies. Production industry That Mr. Lin is ambitious. According to him, he plans to build Oriental Hollywood in the future."

Ronan nodded slightly. If it weren't for some factors that were impossible to resist, he might have gone farther in the film industry.

"An Eastern entrepreneur who wants to get involved in the film industry." Ronan said slowly, "Do you have ideas for the Hollywood film industry and film companies?"

Scott Swift said: "Yes, Mr. Lin did not hide it. Although it is difficult to do it in a short period of time, he hopes that the future Qianlu Film will be an internationally influential company that can be in the international film industry. Has a place in China."

Ronan tapped his fingers on the desk lightly: "It's a very interesting idea, with a long-term vision."

"The most important thing is that he is still rich." Scott Swift said with a smile: "He expressed to me that I hope you can make time to meet him."

Ronan once again opened up the information of Qianlu Jiantuan and this Mr. Lin, and read it carefully. The more I look at it, he is still thinking about it. Relativity entertainment can otherwise benefit from it.

is sitting in his position, this is something that must be considered.

"Let's do it, Scott." Ronan made a decision: "My schedule is full this week. If he is in Los Angeles next week, I can have an interview."

Scott Swift said, "He should be in Los Angeles."

There is still a lot of work to be done this week, and there are a lot of activities I personally participated in, such as the "Dark Knight" invited by Warner Bros.

This superhero movie is very likely to be a god.
