Completely different from Pixar Studio, Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio's animated films have always been committed to producing animated stories of "stupid people become heroes" that audiences of all ages love, because everyone has similar experiences or similar dreams, and this kind of entertainment-based animated blockbusters can just make them have a certain empathy effect, at least at the entertainment level.

This time, 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 eat, but they make a living by selling cuteness.

It is said that in myths and legends, this fierce animal called the iron-eating beast in ancient records also served as Chiyou's mount.

Another point I have to say is that as far as film culture is concerned, what can really be popular in the international market in the East is actually the kung fu genre.

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

With such a successful opening in North America, with the relatively common stable trend of animated films, the final North American box office will inevitably exceed $250 million.

The performance in the international market will not be bad either.

Switching to other films that use the East as the main performance element, Ronan may be worried, but the combination of kung fu and pandas can have an extremely wide audience.

The Eastern Market was the only one to open at the same time as North America, and unlike Pixar's animated feature films, which received a mediocre response, Kung Fu Panda was extremely popular across the Pacific.

The voices of touting and belittling this film are all in the media and public opinion in the East.

The former believes that Oriental culture has really rushed out of the country and gone to the world, and has had a huge impact, and there are even people who are overly optimistic and have ulterior motives who claim 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 Oriental Branch of Embassy Pictures, which is taking the route of being a good friend of the Oriental people.

Of course, the goal is still the increasingly bulging wallets of the people of the East.

This group of businessmen in Hollywood dares to sell even the United States for the sake of commercial interests, let alone others?

Demeaning voices think that this is the selflessness of the US imperialists, who are plotting conspiracies through national treasures!

Where is it so complicated, everything is just Hollywood looking at money.

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

The film's background, architecture, music, five types of boxing, dragon totem, firecrackers, noodles, steamed buns, and of course the setting itself, which uses pandas as the protagonist and kung fu as selling points, are all oriental elements.

But the core of the film is a typical Hollywood set.

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

During the lunch break, Jessica Felton specially bought lunch and came to Ronan's side, and when she took a break, she chatted: "It is said that there is a group specializing in animation production, and it has gone to Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio to ask for advice and study." ”

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

Ronan picked up the teacup that Jessica Filton had placed in front of him, took a sip slowly, and said simply: "Shahai Entertainment will deepen its cooperation with Orientals in production. ”

He didn't say much more, and many decisions were still on the plan.

The genre of animation alone, such as "Peppa Pig", "Kung Fu Panda" and "Transformers", is within the scope of possible collaborations in the future.

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

Jessica Felton didn't say anything more, and instead asked, "Is the tea I brewed okay?"

"Very nice. Ronan took another sip: "Ninety percent of my skills." ”

Jessica Felton clasped her chest with her hands: "It's so much easier than making coffee." Add the tea leaves and pour in the boiling water......"

Ronan deliberately said, "It seems that brewing coffee is also these two steps, right?" He didn't dwell on this topic, and asked, "What is the post-production of Fast and Furious 4?"

Jessica Felton smiled, "It's almost the finishing stages. She said generously: "When I finish this film, I will officially move to your side." ”

There was a knock on the door at this time, 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 movie premieres, because of the god-making project, this premiere will be solemn, solemn and heavy.

Although the new "Batman" movie series will soon have nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment, thinking that Warner Group has never expressed its position on the invitation of Twentieth Century Fox, coupled with the DC Justice League Universe Plan, Ronan thought for a moment and said: "Tell them that I will attend the premiere." ”

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

She couldn't help but pat her forehead, which was clearly influenced by Warner Bros. propaganda.

Sure enough, dead people play a bigger role in the movie than living people.

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

Hearing this, Jessica Felton was very conscious that it was time to take her leave.

She stood up and said to Ronan, "I'll go back first." ”

Ronan didn't have any intention of holding back, and nodded slightly: "I'll call you if there's something." ”

Jessica Felton got up and left.

When the office door closed, Connie continued, "That team from the East, want to get our library license......"

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

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

Connie quickly jotted it down.

The rights to the film library are the most stable source of income for large film companies, and thanks to Netflix, the dominant platform, Relativity Entertainment's film library, it can now bring hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year.

Connie had just left when Scott Swift came over and brought a heavyweight message.

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

Probably attracting a lot of investment in the Eastern market, crossing the Pacific Ocean has almost become Scott Swift's monthly task, even when the work is very busy, he will guarantee to go once a quarter. He had a special feeling at this time: "The speed of development over there is too fast, it is really changing with each passing day, and the rich and the finances they control are growing rapidly." ”

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "An economic miracle is being created over there." He looked at Scott Swift: "What, new investment again?"

Scott-Swift said seriously: "There are a couple of potential investors. One of them, who came to Los Angeles, had a fortune in his hands that would be enormous even in North America, and was very interested in the film industry. ”

"Tell me?" Ronan was a little curious.

Scott Swift handed Ronan a copy of the information, and briefly introduced: "This man's surname is Lin, and he controls a huge conglomerate of hotels, shopping malls, cinema chains, real estate development, and urban commercial complexes. ”

Ronan also saw the introduction on the information, this person called Lin Jian, who used to be said to be famous, and the Qianlu Group in his hand once bought and bought all over the world, and gained a lot in Hollywood and the North American film industry.

This person actually appeared, and he was also involved with the Pacific Investment Foundation, combined with the memories of the past, what benefits can it bring to Relativistic Entertainment?

Ronan quickly skimmed through the information and asked, "What is the idea of this person or his company?" ”

"This Mr. Lin is very interested in investing in the Pacific Foundation. Scott Swift told the truth: "Of course, this investment is more like bringing the two sides closer. ”

Ronan can roughly guess that the other party should not lack investment channels, and the so-called investment is more like throwing stones to ask for directions.

Scott Swift continued: "He also hopes to work with us further, especially in the film industry. The Qianlu company has one of the largest continuous cinema chains in the Oriental film market and wants to get ready to get involved in the film production industry, and Mr. Lin is ambitious, according to him, ready to build the Hollywood of the East in the future. ”

Ronan nodded slightly, if it weren't for some irresistible factors, that one might have gone further in the film industry.

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

Scott Swift said: "Yes, that Mr. Lin did not hide it, although it is difficult to do it in a short period of time, but he hopes that in the future, Qianlu Films will be a company with international influence and can have a place in the international film industry." ”

Ronan's fingers tapped lightly on the desk: "Very interesting idea, very long-term vision." ”

"And most importantly, it's rich. Scott-Swift laughs and says, "He expressed to me that he wanted you to find the time to meet him." ”

Ronan opened the information of Qianlu Jiantuan and this Mr. Lin again, and read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, he was still thinking about it, and relativistic entertainment could otherwise benefit from it.

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

"That's it, Scott. Ronan made the decision: "My schedule is full this week, and if he's in Los Angeles next week, I can have an interview with him." ”

Scott Swift said: "He should be in Los Angeles. ”

There's still a lot of work to attend to this week, as well as some in-person events, such as The Dark Knight, which Warner Bros. invited.

This superhero movie is very likely to become a god.
