As the Disney plan gradually nears completion, whether it is Robert Iger's negotiations with Maple Leaf Pictures, or the acquisition negotiations between India-based Relativity Entertainment and Pixar Studios, all going very well, Ronan is also relieved and can relax for the time being.

Thanksgiving arrives, and Ronan invites Gianna-Quan and her friends to the Future World Manor.

How to put it, in short, it is to spend the festival together and share food.

After Gianna Quan got the opportunity to play with Will Smith, she was even more enthusiastic and attentive, the first few times Ronan refused the invitation because she was busy, she thought that Ronan was not very satisfied, and returned to the first country in the universe and called a "friend" more.

Since Gianna-Quan is a ready-made example here, Gianna-Quan's two friends are extremely enthusiastic and actively engaged in the pleasure of the holiday.

Ronan is also sure that Gianna-Quan is basically true, the Korean beauty and Sun Yizhen actors named Claudia Kim in English are not only outstanding in appearance, but also more recognizable, not the type printed in a mold, it is estimated that even if they have used a knife, they are just fine-tuned like Hollywood actresses such as Scarlett Johansson.

In two days, Ronan incarnated as Mr. Chen and filmed a series of tragic events in the Korean entertainment industry......

In addition, the location of the meeting is completely controlled in the manor, so there is no need to worry about the future.

After Thanksgiving, Ronan directly asked Gianna-Quan to take the two Korean actresses to Andrew, the deputy director of the production department of Shahai Entertainment, and he would arrange suitable roles for the two.

Of course, it won't be an important role, just a supporting actress with some scenes.

But it's enough for them to go back and start a wave of international movie star operations.

Ronan doesn't need to bother with this little thing, there are many film and television projects under Relativity Entertainment, and there are too many supporting roles like this that will not affect the whole to count.

On Thanksgiving, "Hurricane Rescue 2" continued to be screened in North America, collecting another $31.87 million the following weekend.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday bonus, the film's North American box office easily crossed $100 million, and the global box office also reached $232.08 million.

At the same time, "Human Removal Project 4", which was released before Halloween, was released after only five weeks of release, and the North American box office accumulated $85.11 million.

Although the overseas response was mediocre, more than $30 million was recorded, and the global box office of the film has exceeded $100 million.

With a production cost of only $8 million, it was very easy to make a profit, and the fifth part was naturally put on the production schedule.

These low-cost horror films, although the income of each one is not particularly high, but every series that has reached the trilogy has contributed a net profit of 100 million yuan to Relativity Entertainment.

What's more, Relativity Entertainment now has several such series.

"Human Removal Project", "Resident Evil", "Deadly Bend", "Here Comes the Grim Reaper", "Saw Horror", ......

The first part has been successful, and the other ones that are being serialized are "The Grim Reaper Is Gone", "The Human Skin Inn" and "Dawn of the Living Dead", among others.

There are also those who are ready to start being included in the plan, such as the horror universe plan that Ronan talked about with Wen Ziren.

Just after the Thanksgiving holiday, Wen Ziren submitted a plan to Ronan, which only had a brief outline of the story, involving the adaptation of multiple supernatural investigation stories of the Warrens, and Wen Ziren temporarily set the names of the three series according to the envisioned story theme, called "Latent", "The Conjuring" and "Annabelle".

He plans to use these three films as the main line, and then divide them to create more related horror films.

Ronan approved the plan and will make Wen Ziren the producer of the series.

In addition, Ronan also officially invited Wen Ziren to join Shahai Entertainment and become a producer of Shahai Entertainment like Jessica Felton.

This is a well-paid position, not only enjoying the normal treatment of producers and directors, but also receiving a small number of option rewards from Shahai Entertainment.

Wen Ziren fully deserves such a reward.

After a brief consideration, Wen Ziren accepted Ronan's invitation.

For a Chinese-American director like Wen Ziren, this is not just a rise in income, but also a rapid increase in status.

This is Hollywood after all, and Chinese directors often have to put in more effort if they want to gain the same reputation as other directors.

But Ronan and Relativity Entertainment provided a shortcut for Wen Ziren.

Moreover, Relativity Entertainment has always provided a fair platform for all directors or producers, rather than making decisions casually because of skin color or other circumstances.

For Wen Ziren at this stage, there is no more suitable choice than Relativistic Entertainment.

This Chinese director, who has unlimited value in the future, has officially become a member of the relativity system, and will be tied to Relativity Entertainment for many years to come.

Ronan also believes that the commercial value that one Wen Ziren can bring is more than ten ordinary Oscar nominees for Best Director.

Perhaps many people disdain pure commercial film directors such as Wen Ziren, but looking at the difficult situation of literary masters, it often takes years to attract investment for a low-cost film, and then look at the commercial directors who can always get large investments, it is not difficult to see the common choice of Hollywood production companies.

Let Ronan choose between Wen Ziren and David Lynch a thousand times, and Ronan will choose Wen Ziren every time.

It's not a matter of personal preference, it's about where the butt sits.

Wen Ziren was full of motivation to devote himself to the creation of the script of the "horror universe", and he first chose "Latent".

According to Wen Ziren's plot setting, although the Warrens will not be the absolute protagonists of "Latent", there will be heavyweight scenes in it, and then lead to the later "The Conjuring".

Even, Wen Ziren is still thinking about how to link the supernatural investigation of the Warrens with "Chainsaw".

In this way, the influence of "Chainsaw" can be used to warm up and promote new horror films.

In addition, Wen Ziren will also find time next year to direct the filming of several episodes of "American Horror Story".

This kind of newly launched drama is very important for Wen Ziren to establish a reputation as a director in the first season.

In terms of horror themes, Wen Ziren is indeed unique.

From after Thanksgiving to mid-December, in addition to Wen Ziren's "Horror Universe" plan, Ronan also approved a number of film and television drama project plans.

In terms of TV episodes, "Shameless", which has already obtained the copyright, has officially started preparations.

In terms of film projects, after the large-scale script about teddy bears was completed, Ronan approved the project, and the name was determined to be "Teddy Bear".

It's going to be a comedy on a very big scale.

At the same time, "Slumdog Millionaire", which has already completed the script creation, was officially established, and Shahai Entertainment began contact with Danny Boyle, who directed "Trainspotting", and it was not difficult to invite this director who can only be regarded as a second-tier director.

Neil Blomkamp, special effects supervisor for James Cameron's "Avatar" crew, officially took the job over with the crew after completing a phase of work, coming from Wellington to Los Angeles to prepare a feature film for his career, "The Aliens of Johannesburg" adapted from his short film "Aliens in Johannesburg" into the screenplay of "District 9"!

Ronan had another long talk with Neil Blomkamp and approved the project, and compared to the big budget of traditional sci-fi films, "District 9" has a budget of only $30 million.

It was also decided that director Neil Blomkamp had to save money and shoot in the form of a pseudo-documentary.

Marvel Entertainment's film plans are also progressing, and preparations for "Thor" are also underway when Joss Wheddon's "The Incredible Hulk" is about to start filming, and "Captain America" is also underway.

Animated feature film production progressed steadily, and Ronan approved Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio's new eye-catching, animated film of the same name based on How to Tame My Dragon.

At the same time, Chris Renard also submitted another brand new project to Ronan, an animated feature film project based on the famous children's storybook The Story of Old Lacey.

Ronan remembers that he seemed to have seen such an animated movie, and with the popularity of the original book and the growing maturity of the animation studio team of Shahai Entertainment, he also approved the project.

Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio also pursues a low-cost original book on this project, and Chris Renard submitted a production plan with a production budget of only $60 million.

And the target audience of the film is also very clear, that is, children under the age of twelve.

If this group of people can be intrigued, each child audience will bring a family group.

Originally, Ronan also found a children's comic called "Six Heroes" from Marvel Comics, but the style of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio obviously did not match Dabai, so it could only be temporarily suppressed.

Relativity Entertainment is digging into the corner of Disney Animation Studio, preparing to set up a new animation department that shoots traditional truth, goodness and beauty, and Dabai is more suitable for their style.

And then there are those new genres of princess films.

That is, the princess plan.

The princess of the new era can no longer wait for the prince to save her, let alone become a subsidiary of the prince, and should have a stronger personality.

There is no doubt that it is difficult for Relativity Entertainment to make a breakthrough in this area, after all, it lacks sufficient accumulation, and digging into the wall is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Regarding Disney's plan, every step is closely related, and after joining a new force, Disney will be more turbulent internally, and Disney Animation Studio lacks the assistance of Pixar Studios, and it will be more difficult to revitalize, which will give Relativity Entertainment a lot of opportunities to poach people.

You can even dig up an entire animation production team.

Those classic animated feature films have forged Disney's glory, and Disney has firmly guarded it, but how many more years will it take Disney to restore the glory of animation production after digging into the blood of Disney animation studios?

If one is backward, it may fall behind step by step, and then it will sink.

This has happened many times in Hollywood, which started out with more than just the Big Six!

A few days before Disney's shareholder meeting, there was finally good news that Relativity Entertainment and Maple Leaf Pictures had reached a definitive agreement.
