In London's Chelsea district, a long red carpet is lit up in front of a hotel to welcome guests to a banquet.

Tom Hanks sat in the car and waited patiently for the car to drive to the hotel.

"Are you sure Ronan Anderson will be coming to dinner?" Tom Hanks asked his co-pilot assistant, "Am you mistaken?"

The assistant said with great certainty: "I have asked someone to inquire about it, Ronan Anderson came to London this time because he received an invitation from William, and it is estimated that the negotiations with Judy Kramer are only incidental." He paused and specifically explained: "The copyright matters of Relativity Entertainment have always been the responsibility of Robert Lee, and Ronan Anderson has basically not personally talked to anyone about adaptation copyright in recent years. ”

Tom Hanks frowned slightly: "The name Robert Lee is a bit familiar. ”

The assistant added: "Some time ago, Robert Lee once fought with us on behalf of Relativity Entertainment Group for the film rights of "The Da Vinci Code", but we were one step ahead......"

Tom Hanks remembered and shook his head: "This time they were ahead of us. ”

This time he came to London, England, and Tom Hanks also received an invitation from the British royal family, and by the way, he wanted to win the film rights of "Mamma Mia".

Some time ago, Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson saw the "Mamma Mia" stage play on Broadway and had a good impression of this play, and watched it three times in a week in a row, Rita Wilson was not only an audience, but also one of the producers and one of the directors of Tom Hanks' company, Preton Pictures, and also had a strong desire to adapt "Mamma Mia" into a movie.

Before Tom Hanks came to London, Rita Wilson repeatedly told him to take the rights to the film adaptation.

As one of Hollywood's exemplary husbands today, Tom Hanks wanted to fulfill his wife's wishes, because he knew that when work was combined with a personal hobby, it could bring great satisfaction.

If it weren't for that, getting the copyright from Judy Kramer yesterday fell into the hands of Relativity Entertainment, and Tom Hanks just gave up.

got out of the car, walked through the long red carpet, and entered the hotel banquet hall, Tom Hanks greeted Charles who greeted the guests, and soon found Ronan where he was, and found that Ronan was chatting with William, and it was not easy to go directly for a while.

Ronan asked William, "When are you going to Los Angeles?" ”

William touched his hair, which was not yet bald, and said, "It's a hassle for me to go out, and when it's convenient, I'll definitely visit Los Angeles." ”

"Yesterday I saw a message about you in the newspaper. Ronan lowered his voice slightly: "The media says you may become the president of the FA next year?"

William smiled and said, "I have accepted the offer and will be in office early next year." However, although this position is very powerful, it is more of a symbolic and honorary position for me to hold it. ”

Ronan said, "It's a great position, and I wish you success." ”

William replied politely, "Thank you." ”

Ronan asked: "I just met Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who is said to have bought Chelsea Football Club, and the Premier League clubs are not so repulsive to foreign capital?"

"As long as it is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of the Premier League, we welcome it all. Willian has not yet taken office, but he already has a bit of the style of an FA manager: "England is an open and free country, and football is no exception. ”

Ronan smiled and said: "I've been following the Premier League, the league is indeed getting more and more open, more and more free, and the level of the whole league is improving rapidly. ”

Nowadays, many people still refer to the Premier League as England.

Willian is younger than Ronan, and his mind is not simple, so he immediately heard something and asked: "Ronan, are you interested in investing in the Premier League?"

'I love football and the Premier League. Ronan said vaguely: "If I have the chance, I would also like to have a Premier League club like Roman Abramovich and be directly involved in the unlimited future of the Premier League." ”

William smiled and said, "I personally welcome it. ”

The two chatted about football for a while, and Ronan saw someone coming to find William to climb, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave here.

Later, he met Roman Abramovich, a Russian tycoon, and had a brief chat.

The British and the British media, in their treatment of the Russian tycoon, fully demonstrated the arrogance and arrogance of the empire on which the sun never sets, and all kinds of words such as nouveau riche and dirty scum are constantly thrown at the head of Roman Abramovich.

Perhaps, this has become the last resort for the British to maintain the dignity of the empire.

The Portuguese came to England as a hillbilly, the Russians came into London as an upstart, and perhaps when he, the Hollywood movie boss, played in the Premier League, he would be called all sorts of scorn by the arrogant British.

The British media can't even look down on the British, let alone people from other countries.

It is estimated that if a superman really descends on London, the British media will also call him "the third deflated man in the universe" or something.

There are three major smells in the future world - the big feet of the Oriental national football team, the accusations of the white left rice rabbit, and the broken mouth of the British media.

English football loves to produce genius, and of course it is the genius of the British media.

After a chat with Roman Abramovich, the banquet officially began, with Charles giving a speech, then the chairman of the Royal Family Charitable Foundation collecting donations, and then the guests giving generously.

The British royal family, although more of a symbol, has a huge influence and a large enough face.

The dinner was attended by generous donations, with Ronan donating £500,000 and William's name at the back of the fundraising contact.

Face is given to each other, and the British royal family has a huge influence in Europe, and there may be a connection at some point.

At the end of the fundraising session, a chubby middle-aged uncle suddenly appeared in front of Ronan.

This man has thick curly hair, a broad forehead and plump cheeks, and has a natural and innocent nature, and that fleshy nose is like an inverted exclamation point, which is none other than Tom Hanks.

"Hello, Tom. Ronan shook his hand: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

He knew that Tom Hanks didn't like him, and he only greeted him politely.

Tom Hanks smiled, with a down-to-earth face, and said, "Good evening, Ronan. I didn't expect to meet you at Chelsea. ”

Ronan certainly knew why he was here, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have also received an invitation. ”

Tom Hanks shrugged his shoulders and said with a bit of helplessness: "Every year, I get a lot of similar invitations, and some like this one, I can't push it. ”

Finding celebrities and rich people to raise donations is not only in the East, but also in the West.

"Same. Ronan spread his hands: "So no matter how busy you are at work, you have to come to London." ”

Tom Hanks deliberately asked, "You came to London not just for the royal family's charity dinner, right?"

Ronan frowned slightly, what do you mean by that?

Tom Hanks is a gentle man who has never been aggressive, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I just have something I want to discuss with you." ”

In some ways, Tom Hanks is a good husband these days, and he does not hesitate to negotiate with people he doesn't like for the sake of Rita Wilson.

Ronan is also a smart person, and from his previous words, he guessed that it could have something to do with Judy Kramer and "Mamma Mia"?

After all, Tom Hanks also has a film company, and it is not uncommon for him to fancy copyright.

Sure enough, Tom Hanks said: "I met with Ms. Judie Kramer yesterday afternoon and wanted to talk to her about the film rights to Mamma Mia, and found that it was a step too late, and the rights to this stage show have gone into the hands of your Relativity Entertainment. ”

Ronan said calmly, "That's right, the formal agreement we signed yesterday morning. It was impossible for him to spit out the meat that had been eaten in his mouth, so he simply said: "I am very optimistic about the prospects of this project, so I decided to buy the film rights, and preparations will start early next year." ”

This is almost telling Tom Hanks that the copyright is about to become a movie in my hands, and there is no possibility of transferring it again.

Tom Hanks has a gentle personality, but he is very smart, and he immediately understood what Ronan meant, and if he put it in normal times, he would have given up here, but for the sake of his wife's wishes, he still wanted to fight for it.

"It seems like I'm a step slower. Tom Hanks smiled innocently: "Ronan, my wife is very fond of the Mamma Mia stage play, and has been talking to me recently about wanting to adapt the movie, can she help a husband fulfill his wife's wish?"

He said very sincerely: "Can you transfer the copyright to my Preton Pictures? Of course, the price is easy to say." ”

This is true, profitable, and plays the emotional card, coupled with Tom Hanks's personality charm, if it is replaced by ordinary people, maybe it will be directly answered.

Besides, the last time he talked about "The Da Vinci Code", Tom Hanks refused him without hesitation, and the two sides had no friendship and basis for negotiation.

"Actually, such a project doesn't matter to me personally. Ronan didn't say no, and since Tom Hanks played the emotional card, he would also play the emotional card: "But all I can say is very sorry. "Mamma Mia" is my favorite show for many years, she is about to turn eighteen, and "Mamma Mia" is my adult gift to her. ”

Tom Hanks blocked all the words he was about to play the emotional card, and he could only change his words: "Your friend is an actor?"

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, she will be eighteen years old soon, and at this special age, she deserves the best gift." ”

Tom Hanks pondered for a moment and said, "Ronan, we can work together on this project, Preton Pictures and Shahai Entertainment. ”
