In the ensuing period, the foundation team led by Scott and the long-term credit bank of the island nation signaled investment cooperation and began formal negotiations.

Due to the huge amount of funds involved and the many legal protection clauses involved, the negotiations were not smooth, and they were stumbling every day, and the only thing that made Ronan feel relieved was that the daily negotiations were pushed forward in disputes, and there was basically no big problem for the two sides to finally reach an investment cooperation.

The most divergent is undoubtedly the three-year investment rate of return.

Long-term credit banks want to have as high as 13 percent investment yield, the foundation can not easily accept, the two sides may establish a long-term cooperative relationship, in addition to the first phase, there will be two, three or even four phases of investment, without an increase of one percentage point, will involve millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars.

Fortunately, the Pacific Film Foundation is also relatively at the forefront of Hollywood, although the United States has long had a film foundation established and actually operated, but the large-scale emergence and investment in Hollywood films only began in 2004 in the previous life.

Many times, being one step faster often means a huge advantage.

After some time in the negotiations, Scott somewhat lowered the other side's terms, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war phase, arguing for a long time every tenths of a percentage point.

Ronan didn't expect to negotiate a result in just a few days, after all, hundreds of millions of dollars were involved, and it was dollars, not yen.

In general, the negotiations are moving forward step by step.

Ronan also found some time and energy to think about other things.

For example, do you want to find a chance to see those famous female teachers in your previous life?

Anyway, I watched too many films at that time, and many of them were impressive teachers, and since I came to the island country, I can also satisfy my feelings when I went to see it on the spot.

It's a pity that it's only 2001, and many famous teachers and artists have not yet debuted.

It seems that Ai Iijima is already famous, right?

There is also the artist who has set the Guinness World Record, and it seems that he should also make his debut.

In my previous life, there was a famous saying on the Internet: If you don't know so-and-so, you can't watch any film in vain.

These two are Ronan's most famous island artists when he was a university student in his previous life, and they have accompanied countless college students through empty and lonely nights, and it is said that they have effectively reduced the incidence rate of certain types of cases, and have made outstanding contributions to social stability and economic prosperity in East Asia.

In addition, *** seems to have just debuted in the new century, and *** when he was young can be called a representative of childishness.

When Ronan is free, he specially checked the relevant information on the network of the island country, and if he finishes his business later, he can go to the set to see, it is said that the shooting method of the island country's art film is very different from the San Fernando Valley art film.

If you have the opportunity, you can also find a film company in the island country to cooperate.

Of course, it will not be such an elegant art film for cooperation, and the vulgar large-scale films of some island countries are also very marketable.

Ronan is also considering further developing the East Asian market, not to mention the future film market of the indescribable country across the sea, the current island countries and Japan and South Korea also have quite good market volume.

Animated feature films and romance films, as well as some larger-scale films, belong to the genre that Hollywood is more popular in the island country, and superhero movies belong to the black hole genre here.

South Korea is better, except for films that typically reflect American society, most of the films that hit big in North America are not bad in South Korea.

To be precise, Hollywood movies are not particularly strong in island countries, and the film market in island countries seems to be open, but in fact, there are quite a lot of protection measures for local films, such as Hollywood movies have never been able to be released simultaneously in island countries.

Basically, Hollywood films are on top of all major overseas markets, with island nations being the last region to be screened.

Professional protection measures, coupled with the peculiar mentality and cultural differences of the island people, lead to the fact that even various Hollywood blockbusters are often defeated if they face the popular movies in the island country.

Ronan took a special look, and most of the movies in the island country were at the forefront of the box office, and most of them were anime movies.

Living in the East in his previous life, and now working hard in Los Angeles and Hollywood, Ronan has deeply experienced one thing, cultural differences are not only real, but also have a huge impact on movies.

For example, when George Lucas's ILM came into contact with a film crew in the East, he couldn't understand the content of the movie: why take the earth with him if he wanted to escape?

But in Ronan's body today, it is easy to find the reason for this consideration: the land culture of the East is inward-looking, and the land is the foundation of people, while the maritime culture of the West is outward-looking, and an island is not suitable for habitation, so it is better to change it.

This aspect is quite obvious, such as Ronan's crazy housing needs in his previous life, and in some ways, it is also an extension of the land complex.

As time went on, Scott's negotiations became smoother and smoother, and the two sides began to negotiate some details.

Ronan was basically relieved and took time out to do another rather important thing.

Of course, not to see the famous teachers and artists, but to Robert Egger, who had a special understanding of the current situation before coming to the island country.

Ronan called him directly, and Robert Iger was working as an executive at the Disney Island Country branch and, judging from the actual situation he had learned, was in the "pre-dawn darkness" phase of his life.

The internal power struggle that Walt Disney has quietly unfolded, although temporarily hidden under the calm waters, has already shown signs among the top management, and Robert Iger's transfer from Disney headquarters to the island country branch is largely caused by internal strife.

Strictly speaking, Robert Iger does not belong to the traditional forces of Walt Disney, he has been working at ABC TV before, and after Walt Disney acquired ABC TV, he was appreciated by Michael Eisner, so he was promoted to Walt Disney headquarters and became a middle and senior manager of Disney.

It is for this reason that he was classified as a close confidant of Michael Eisner, and then caught up in the inevitable internal storm of Disney.

The storm has only just been brewing, and Robert Iger has already been affected.

Ronan learned from Jarev Katzenberg that the "smiling Mickey Mouse" in his previous life was suppressed by Disney's traditional forces, which was actually a bit wronged, although Michael Eisner had the grace of knowing him and was even more single-handed, but Robert Eiger did not completely look at Michael Eisner.

Considering the previous life Robert Iger who took over as CEO of Walt Disney in 2005 after Michael Eisner was kicked out of Disney, and also had the support of Disney's traditional forces, it is not difficult to guess Robert Iger's position.

Ronan met Robert Iger at a coffee shop in Tokyo.

"Long time no see, Bob. Ronan shook hands with Robert Iger and asked with a puzzled expression, "I remember when "The Princess Diaries" premiered, you said that you would be transferred back to Los Angeles soon, and I also specifically greeted Jared and asked him to ask you out to play golf together. ”

Robert Iger sat across from Ronan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to stay in Tokyo for so long. He sighed lightly: "I originally thought it was a temporary long business trip, but I didn't expect it to become a resident island country." ”

Ronan speculated based on the situation in his previous life that in seven or eight months at most, Robert Iger would be transferred back to Disney headquarters, and after 2003, the pre-dawn darkness would pass, and then start the rising mode, and finally take over as CEO and go to the peak of his life.

"When you come to Tokyo, you can have coffee with an acquaintance. Ronan said.

Robert Iger smiled and asked, "Ronan, why did you come to Tokyo?"

Ronan's work does not need to be kept secret, as long as the investment agreement with the long-term credit bank is reached, the relevant information will be made public soon, and it is his purpose to show some strength and future plans in a timely manner.

"You know, this year's 'Spy Shots' was a huge success. My Sand Sea Entertainment is ready to make more first-line commercial films. Ronan said unhurriedly: "Next year, Shahai Entertainment needs a production budget of about 300 million to 400 million US dollars, and I came to this island country to look for investment, and there is a lot of pressure on the funds to start multiple commercial productions at the same time." ”

Hearing about $300 million to $400 million, Robert Iger was a little surprised: "This kind of production investment is close to the water drop of DreamWorks." Ronan, your company is growing so fast......"

He thought of the situation of Relativity Entertainment Group, which he had specifically inquired about after the last meeting, and said: "Your company integrates production and distribution, which can effectively reduce risks and maximize profits." ”

Ronan was not modest, and said quite confidently: "It's okay, in the two years since the establishment of Relativity Entertainment, the development has been relatively smooth, and the success of "Spy Shadow" has also given the company the confidence to enter the first-line production. ”

Robert Iger took a sip of his coffee and said, "You did a great job, and you are admirable." ”

Ronan said with a smile, "Actually, what I'm best at is the selection of film projects and the production business, and it is very difficult to run the company. He shrugged: "I only talked about the investment negotiations with the people of the island country once, and then handed it over to the people below." ”

"Did the talks go well?" asked Robert Iger with timely concern, "The investment of the islanders is not very good. ”

Ronan was deeply touched: "That's true. I have access to financing in India, Germany and Abu Dhabi, and I find it the most difficult to raise money from the islanders, who know Hollywood quite well. ”

Hearing these words, Robert Iger was secretly surprised that such a new company as Relativity Entertainment had so many financing channels.

It's no wonder that the pace of development is unexpectedly fast.
