Just entering December, Roland Emmerich walked into the Relativity Building, and in full view of everyone, came to the top floor of the building, and Ronan took half an hour to meet with him in person, expressing the idea of wanting to cooperate with Roland Emmerich.

Ronan expressed his desire to work with Roland Emmerich, and did not mention the project "10,000 Years Before History" at all.

But at this moment, in the eyes of others, can working with Roland Emmerich be something else?

In fact, Ronan is thinking about waiting for Roland-Emmerich to defeat once and then the two of them working together to create a doomsday panic.

Roland Emmerich has a good market for disaster films, so forget about other genres.

To use the official cliché, the meeting between Ronan and Roland Emmerich took place in a friendly and warm atmosphere, and in the end a number of consensuses were reached, and both sides were satisfied with the results.

After meeting with Roland Emmerich, Ronan went to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and convened a special team of screenwriters to discuss the scriptwriting of two big-budget projects officially named "Robin Hood" and "Exodus".

Too many people are staring at Shahai Entertainment, which is not a good thing, Hollywood is a circle full of news, it is impossible to achieve complete secrecy, and Shahai Entertainment will definitely adapt movies based on many copyrighted works in the future, and dig some pits through film projects, which may also reduce trouble in the later stage.

For example, if other companies really want to target these two projects, and the investment and filming fail, Hollywood film production companies in the future, even if they get any news from Shahai Entertainment, they will definitely have to think twice.

For a short period of time, the two projects were working on the script as if they were real.

At the script meeting convened by Ronan, the screenwriters were also seriously discussing various creative possibilities.

One of the screenwriters who was involved in writing the script for Pirates of the Caribbean said: "The story of Robin Hood is a classic and lacks novelty, so I suggest that adding some magic elements to the Robin Hood theme can make the project a low-fantasy film." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "This aspect can be considered." ”

Another screenwriter said, "Can we consider reversing that? like using Robin Hood as the villain, and then redesigning a decent protagonist to defeat Robin Hood." ”

"This isn't good. "There are also screenwriters who oppose it.

After discussing it for a while, it was the first screenwriter's suggestion to add a magical element to the traditional Robin Hood genre.

On the other hand, when it comes to "Exodus", most screenwriters are surprisingly consistent in some aspects, believing that the mythological elements in it should be reduced, and the existence of supernatural elements should be appropriately ignored, so as to make the story more humane and highlight the role of people.

These are two kinds of goods, and Ronan naturally won't object.

Hollywood's personnel turnover is extremely high, and the fastest change of personnel in Shahai Entertainment is the screenwriting department, the screenwriter who signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment for this project may go to another company for the next project, and the newly recruited screenwriter may also work for other companies before.

The related news soon flew out from Shahai Entertainment.

As for which companies to fly into, it is not up to Ronan to grasp.

On December 3rd, at a charity dinner hosted by Steven Spielberg in the name of DreamWorks, Ronan received a lot of related news.

Although the six major companies have been suppressing DreamWorks overtly or implicitly, the two sides have never officially torn their faces, and all sides have sent top executives to attend the charity dinner.

Relativity Entertainment is now on the same side as DreamWorks, and Ronan was also present in person, donating $100,000 to Spielberg's charitable foundation.

"You're welcome. Spielberg shook hands with Ronan: "I heard that Relativity Entertainment has a number of works that are going to hit the Oscars this awards season?"

Ronan smiled and replied, "yes." So, Steven, DreamWorks needs to support us a lot. ”

Spielberg's shrewdness was shrewd under his circulars: "That's a good idea, I must support relativistic entertainment." He suddenly pulled a big boy with a baby face from behind and introduced Ronan, "This is Shia LaBeouf, my godson. ”

"Hello, Mr. Anderson. Shia LaBeouf was not yet a bastard in the future, and greeted Ronan respectfully: "It's my honor to meet you." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Hello, Thea." ”

This face is so familiar, it used to appear often with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, and later all kinds of deaths, it is simply a textbook of how Hollywood stars go crazy.

became famous early, and there is a godfather like Spielberg, who was popular all over the world when he was the hottest, but he played a good hand in the entertainment industry extremely willfully.

There was once a rumor that when he was the craziest, he invited a female fan to whip him, and as a result, the female fan not only whipped him, but also completed the achievement of the strong explosion by the way.

Spielberg is definitely a good godfather, and said at this time: "Ronan, Xia is an actor, he has been acting professionally since 1993, and he has made a lot of movies in recent years, and his ability is among the top among his peers." ”

Shia LaBeouf stood beside Spielberg with a smile as if she were her own son.

In Hollywood, Spielberg, the godfather, is really unable to find fault with him: "Ronan, there is a chance for Thea, please bother with some heart." ”

Ronan would not embarrass Spielberg on such an occasion and coped: "I remember, Shia LaBeouf. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Shia LaBeouf said.

Ronan nodded again, chatted casually, and went somewhere else, although he wouldn't use Shia LaBeouf, let alone find him to star in "Transformers", but with Spielberg paving the way, Shia LaBeouf's development in the next few years will inevitably go well.

Think about Spielberg's godsons and daughters, basically like this, with Spielberg's help, you can easily get the resources that others dream of and become a popular star.

Maybe these came too easily, causing them to not know how to cherish at all, Drew Barrymore's fall after fame, Gwyneth Paltrow's princess disease, Shia LaBeouf's madness......

Spielberg's godson and goddaughter are not normal.

"Steven, please take care of his children?"

Sony Entertainment's Chris came over, looked at Spielberg, and asked, "How's that big boy?"

Instead of answering, Ronan asked, "Steven recommended it to you too?"

Chris shrugged: "Shia LaBeouf starred in Thunderbolt Angel 2, and if it wasn't for Steven's recommendation, Columbia Pictures wouldn't have used him." ”

Ronan could only say, "Steven has a lot of love for his children. ”

"Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 project. Chris said simply: "Steven recommended Shia LaBeouf to play Venom. ”

He seemed to realize the sensitivity of the topic of "Spider-Man", and changed the subject without waiting for Ronan to answer: "There are rumors in the circle that you are going to plan a movie based on Robin Hood and "Exodus". ”

Ronan asked, "Sony Columbia Pictures is also interested?"

Chris shook his head: "Our power is focused on Spider-Man. Rest assured, I'll ask privately as a friend. ”

Of course, it's good to listen to this kind of talk, Ronan said vaguely, "It's just that I have thoughts about this." ”

Chris smiled and said, "You, I can't even believe it." ”

Ronan shook his head: "How is it possible? If I can't believe you, I'll just deny it." ”

The two chatted for a while, Chris went somewhere else, and Ronan just wanted to talk to Tom Hanks about the progress of "The Da Vinci Code", when an old acquaintance, Charles Rowan, came over.

The topic naturally entered the movie, Charles Rowan said: "Several epic films this year have all performed poorly, I heard that Shahai Entertainment is still interested in entering this genre?"

Ronan certainly understood that this was a temptation, and said vaguely: "The worst period may not be the best opportunity, I hope that Shahai Entertainment can develop a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" series." ”

Charles Rowan remained silent and said, "There is one thing, let's talk about it in private. Ronan, I heard that Shahai Entertainment is talking to Roland Emmerich about a new project collaboration?"

Ronan won't deny it: "There is such a thing. ”

Charles Rowan reminded: "Roland Emmerich has a deal with Warner Bros. ”

"Wait, Charles. Ronan interrupted him: "This matter is in charge of Shahai Entertainment, you go directly to George Clint to talk to it." ”

Charles Rowan was a little depressed, but when you think about it, what Ronan said makes perfect sense.

The purpose was basically achieved, and Charles Rowan was gone.

Ronan went to talk to Tom Hanks about the similarly slow progress of The Da Vinci Code, said goodbye to Spielberg, and was about to leave when an executive from Twentieth Century Fox came up to him for a few words.

The two sides were not very familiar, and the tentative meaning was very obvious, Ronan only made a slight contact and left.

Obviously, given the success of the past, these companies or people are very interested in the new projects launched by Ronan, and they can't help but come and try it.

As for how it will develop in the future, it is no longer within Ronan's control.

Epic films, if you want to shoot good results, you must invest a lot of money and production, and the resource occupation rate is very high.

In the days that followed, news came about Roland-Emmerich's new project.

On the bright side, there are four companies competing for this project: Shahai Entertainment, Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Columbia.

Projects that no one cares about may never be a good project, and the increase in competitors in "10,000 Years Before History" has made it easy for interested companies not to let go, and Roland Emmerich has obtained far better conditions than at the beginning.

After a period of waiting for a price, Roland Emmerich finally chose to sign with Twentieth Century Fox, which he had worked with for many years.
