Princess Studio has been established for a short time, and even if "Frozen" is officially established, there will be no animated feature films in a short period of time, but Pixar Studio and Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio have completed animated feature films.

According to the plan of Embassy Pictures, Pixar Studios has two animated feature films released this year, namely "Ratatouille" and "Cars".

The latter is the focus, and Embassy Pictures has done a lot of preparatory work, with a budget of $120 million for publicity and distribution alone.

"Cars" is also one of the key profitable projects of Relativity Entertainment in the future, and its investment priority is even higher than that of "Ratatouille" and "Wall-E the Robot", which is currently in production.

At Ronan's request, the budget for WALL-E the Robot has been compressed as much as possible.

Embassy Pictures has also done a lot of targeted work, believing that the peripheral development of this animated feature film is not optimistic.

At least it's more than three levels worse than Autobots.

Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is steadily advancing, last year's "Minions" market exploded, "Despicable Me 2" has not yet been completed, and this year's "Kung Fu Panda" is pushed into the market.

Although many oriental elements such as pandas are used, this is a Hollywood-style animated film in every way.

Completely different from Pixar's style, Kung Fu Panda is a simple and light-hearted animated feature.

In addition, when the production of "Kung Fu Panda" was completed, China Film Group took the initiative to ask for the introduction, and passed the review without cutting.

This is quite rare for today's Hollywood movies.

Then there is "Peppa Pig", Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio still launches at a rate of one season per year, and the broadcast of the series itself does not generate much revenue, but the total annual revenue of peripheral channels in recent years has been more than 500 million US dollars, and it has risen rapidly with an annual growth rate of more than 15%.

Shahai Entertainment is also planning to produce other animated series and collect materials from all over the world.

Leaving Shahai Entertainment, Ronan did not go back to the office, walked out of the Relativity Building, came to the Pacific Investment Foundation not far away, and received the Swedish Yinruida Investment Group who came to investigate.

Sweden's Silver Ruida Investment Group is interested in cooperating with the Pacific Investment Fund, and the initial investment may be more than $500 million.

The main reason why it can attract this large investment group from Northern Europe is that Netflix Network is preparing to raise funds and expand its shares this year, and with the advantage of Relativity Entertainment, the Pacific Investment Fund has been given the opportunity to invest in Netflix Network, which has been rapidly climbing in market value, attracting investors from all over the world.

However, the entry threshold for Netflix networks is extremely high.

Financing and share expansion, Relativity Entertainment's shares will inevitably be diluted, but it still holds an absolute controlling stake, and the entry of the Pacific Investment Fund is also conducive to Relativity Entertainment to continue to control the situation.

Frankly speaking, Netflix's online financing and share expansion is also because it burns money too hard, and Netflix spent nearly a billion dollars on the customization of solo dramas last year.

There are also various promotions to attract customers.

Netflix's stock price is indeed rising, but it is also true that it is crazy to burn money.

If Netflix relies solely on Relativity Entertainment, it will not say that it will bring down Relativity Entertainment, but it will definitely greatly slow down the development speed of Relativity Entertainment.

Now, with multiple shareholders holding up Netflix's high stock price, it looks like it can create a superstar company with a total market value of $100 billion.

Relativity Entertainment has made a lot of profits in the development of Netflix with its strong production capabilities and publicity and promotion capabilities, and all of Netflix's customized dramas come from Shahai Entertainment.

Sweden's Yinruida Investment Group and Pacific Investment Fund are all interested in cooperating, and the atmosphere of the dinner is also harmonious, and the two sides have reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

The details will be discussed in detail by Scott Swift and the other party.

After the dinner and leaving the hotel, Ronan meets Taylor Swift, who is driving to pick up Scott.

"Good evening, Uncle Anderson. ”

Getting out of the car, Taylor Swift greeted Ronan very politely and pointed to his Mercedes-Benz: "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Ronan politely refused: "No need, pick up my car and come over immediately." ”

Taylor Swift didn't say much and waved his hand, "Goodbye, Uncle Anderson." ”

Scott also waved his hand and got into the car with Taylor.

Taylor Swift skillfully drove away, and the black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over and stopped in front of Ronan.

Ronan got into the car, glanced at the time, and dialed the pinned phone number: "Where now?"

Jessica Filton's voice came from inside the earpiece: "The company is working overtime." ”

Ronan asked, "Are you almost off work?" I'll pick you up. ”

The faint sound of keystrokes coming from the earpiece, followed by Jessica Filton's voice: "I'll leave after reading this manuscript, where are you?"

Ronan said, "Just got out of the hotel. ”

"Well, I should be faster than you. Jessica Felton said, "I'll be waiting for you at the door of the company. Okay, let's talk about it when we meet, I'll hurry up. ”

Ronan answered, hung up the phone, and said to David, "Go to the company." ”

Ten minutes later, Ronan returned to the door of the Relativity Building and picked up Jessica Filton, who got into the car with a large document bag.

Finch, who was in the co-pilot, very consciously raised the baffle.

Ronan took the file bag, put it on the armrest in the middle of the back row, grabbed Jessica Felton's hand, kissed it gently, and asked, "Busy so late?"

Jessica Filton is a Latina by nature, with a little enthusiasm in her nature, and her past energy has not been put into this area, but recently it has gradually been released.

She didn't care about the faint smell of wine on Ronan's body, leaned over and kissed Ronan hard, and said: "I have a few friends, and I have a few scripts that have been handed over to me, and I have to be busy with the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4" during the day, so I can only find time to read it at night." ”

"Did you meet a good one?" Ronan asked.

Jessica Felton took the file bag, opened it and handed Ronan a copy of the script inside: "Remember what I told you? Lindsay and I used to belong to a feminist organization, which was handed to me by one of the senior members, and she thought that the script embodied the spirit of feminism to a certain extent. ”

The two sit together not to talk about love, but to discuss work, and this pattern of getting along is very natural for Ronan and Jessica Felton, which has been how they have been together for the past decade.

In fact, apart from the further relationship, the two have not changed much in their daily life.

Ronan opened the script and skimmed through the first ten pages.

Jessica Felton added: "The script was written by a young female screenwriter named Katie Debord, and this is the first time she has written a script on her own, and it has been about two years since she wrote it, and she has never found a buyer. ”

This is the most common situation in Hollywood, where very few new screenwriters' first works sell.

Ronan looked through it quickly and quickly determined a few points: "The theme of police and bandits, biased towards comedy, anti-drug genre, and the villain is Russian." ”

"The protagonists are two policewomen. Jessica Felton has already gone through the script: "The cop genre with a certain comedy overtone, both in terms of plot themes and character settings, is very much in line with Hollywood's consistent model of success." ”

She thought for a moment and then said, "I spoke to Katie Debord on the phone, and according to her, she came up with the idea after watching Michael Mann's The Wire. ”

Ronan thought of "The Line of Fire" and said: "This film, not only did the robbers imitate the robbery of banks as teaching materials, but also inspired a large number of people in the film industry. ”

Jessica Felton laughed: "Katie Dibord is different, she can't stand the dull atmosphere of "The Line of Fire", the slow pace, the serious boredom of two old men, and definitely writes a script with a completely opposite style of police and bandits, so she has this script." ”

Ronan nodded: "The two policewomen are partners, the fat policewoman who is full of dirty words and the serious partner have a contrasting comedy atmosphere, and the fast pace of flying, just looking at the script has a completely different style from "The Line of Fire". ”

Frankly speaking, in addition to the realistic classical gunfight, the long literary drama of "The Line of Fire" can make people fall asleep dullly.

This script is much more streamlined than the complicated content of "Thief Line", which is two female policemen with opposite styles who go together to hunt down the big Russian drug lord.

Jessica Felton said, "What do you think?"

This is Ronan's purview, and after a little thought, he returned the script to Jessica Felton and said: "The script can be bought, this kind of theme is in line with today's social development trend, and there should be a certain market." However, Jesse, must control the cost, and the production budget should be within $30 million as much as possible. ”

Jessica Felton put away the script and said, "I see. ”

The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped, with Jessica Filton getting out of the car first, followed by Ronan.

Ronan glanced at Jessica Felton's cottage and said, "Why don't you invite me in and sit?"

Jessica Felton held the file bag, tilted her head to look at Ronan, and finally nodded slowly: "Come on." ”

She opened the door and walked forward, followed by Ronan.

Entering the small villa, Jessica Filton opened, bright lights illuminated the villa living room, Ronan was a little surprised, the living room was neat and orderly, and the impression of Jessica Filton's home was not at all in the same style.

"What's wrong?" asked Jessica Felton.

Ronan smiled and said, "I remember when we first met......"

"Stop!" After all, the relationship between the two is different, and Jessica Filton has an urge to cover her face: "Ronan, don't mention those things again, okay?"

Ronan followed her words and said, "I want to say that the first time we met, I felt that you were different and left an indelible impression on me. ”

Jessica Felton believes he's a ghost, but everyone likes to hear this kind of thing: "Really?"

"Of course. Ronan walked up to her: "If you don't believe it, you can touch your chest and swear." ”

Jessica Felton's eyes widened suddenly: "Hey, what are you touching my chest for......"
