Chapter 509: Ending Feelings

Seeing off Arsene Bernat, Robert Iger also left the Aquatic Club and returned to Burbank.

In fact, the negotiations between the two sides that are going on almost simultaneously also need to be resolved quickly, but he must not show any anxious attitude or even tone, otherwise the talks will definitely not be negotiated.

Later, on the basis of sufficient confidence and stability, we should push these two transactions as quickly as possible.

Universal Pictures was able to sign an agreement this week, and the original plan was to use Relativity Entertainment's reserves to complete the transaction, and the reserve amount will be reduced by $100 million, which is very likely to affect the group's ability to resist risks.

Well, now the funds to complete the transaction have been successfully resolved.

Thinking of this, Robert Iger couldn't help but smile slightly, although he couldn't get the copyright of "Jurassic Park" that Ronan had in mind, he could solve the copyright purchase funds of "Hulk" and "Fast and Furious" series without spending the group's financial resources for the time being, and it could be regarded as a successful goal.

As for whether the "Fast and Furious" series can continue to be successful and whether "The Incredible Hulk" will turn over, Robert Iger believes in Ronan's production ability.

He didn't have the slightest doubt about that now.

Hulk is related to the Avengers program, and although "Fast and Furious" is a low-to-medium investment road racing film, cars belong to mainstream culture, and there is a lot to be done well.

Robert Iger breathed a sigh of relief, although it is a pity to pass by Universal Pictures, but this is limited by the objective conditions of relativistic entertainment, and it cannot be solved by human beings.

Several plans for next year also need to be completed by him, the chief operating officer, and preparations must begin now.

Promotions and salary increases are natural, and the position of CEO has long been prepared for him by Ronan, and if Relativity Entertainment Group can continue to expand in his hands, option awards are not a problem.

Robert Iger is very energetic and feels ten times better than he did when he was at Walt Disney.

This job change seems to be able to reach the pinnacle of life.

If Ronan had been rejected and continued to stay at Walt Disney, it would have been unimaginable.

Three days later, Robert Iger was the first to sign an agreement with Ron Meyer, representing Universal Pictures, to get the full rights to "The Incredible Hulk" and "Fast and Furious".

A week later, a loan agreement was reached with NBC, and Relativity Entertainment received a five-year, $100 million interest-free loan.

While Relativity Entertainment is still building momentum for the acquisition of Universal Pictures Entertainment Group, it has officially pulled out of the bid.

got the copyright of the "Hulk" and "Fast and Furious" series, Ronan has no action for the time being, the former will not be useful until the Avengers plan is opened, and the Hulk movie alone must be well planned, at least not too badly, and the former actors must be replaced.

Edward Norton's acting skills are not problematic, and he is very suitable for playing abnormal roles, but if he can't sign a long-term contract, he will inevitably have to be replaced.

In the past, Marvel Studios only took back the joint use rights of the Hulk from Universal Pictures, resulting in the situation that the Hulk could only appear as a co-star, and the Hulk movie alone had to pay a huge share to Universal Pictures, so there was no Hulk independent film released after "The Incredible Hulk".

There are many fans of the Hulk, and in Marvel's superhero comics, they belong to the first class of superheroes.

Shahai Entertainment does not have the concerns of Marvel Studios in the past, and now that the copyright is completely in its hands, it can plan an independent Hulk movie.

Like the story that the Hulk and Agent Natasha Normanoff had to tell?

As for the "Fast and Furious" series, the second part has just been released this summer, so there is no need to rush the third part.

The so-called "Tokyo Drift" is a pit, so it's better to jump over it.

The former role of Han, when it is estimated that the Himalayas moved over in the eighth part, he couldn't hold down the coffin board, and without "Tokyo Drift", he just replaced this role directly.

And Gal Gadot.

Ronan just thought about it for a moment and quickly threw it behind him, not being able to make a mistake.

In October, Ronan made a special trip to East Asia and attended the premiere of "Infernal Affairs 2" in a certain Xiangjiang.

As the rescue work of Xiangjiang Films, since the first part is a big hit, the sequel naturally has to keep up.

There is no doubt that this is the last glory of Hong Kong films.

Ronan has watched countless Xiangjiang movies, which can be regarded as the end of some feelings.

After the premiere, Ronan got the script of "Infernal Affairs 3" from Andrew Liu according to the agreement, although the plot is not as good as the first two, but it is also a rare masterpiece of conscience.

After returning to Los Angeles, Ronan handed over the script to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and the screenwriting department specially selected personnel to start preparing the script.

The two screenwriters who were selected had previously participated in the screenwriting work of "Crime Scene Investigation", although they were only one of the members of the screenwriting team, they were very familiar with the theme of crime and police and bandits.

And before the transfer, these two people, as the heads of the screenwriting team, had just completed the script of "Prison Break".

Ronan is the group's chief creative officer, and he talked to the two men, who then left Los Angeles to go to Boston, where the traditional gangster culture is strong, to collect the wind on the ground and prepare for the American adaptation of the script.

It's a must.

Ronan asked to keep only the general plot framework, and the rest of the content, including character settings and gangster culture, were all overturned and rewritten.

At the end of the day, this film is for Americans.

Relativity Entertainment's movies are still in theaters, and "Chainsaw", which caused a sensation last month, did not escape the fate of plasma horror films, and the popularity cooled down quickly, and the weekend box office has fallen to $6.58 million in the third weekend of North American release, and the single-day box office on weekdays in the new week has dropped directly to about $500,000.

The film's North American box office has so far accumulated $64.14 million, and the global box office has successfully exceeded 100 million.

Although plasma horror films have a short life cycle, with a total investment of less than $10 million and a box office of more than $100 million, "Chainsaw" will inevitably rank among the various low-budget big-box office movies in the future.

At the same time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" easily surpassed $360 million at the North American box office, accumulating a total of $365.88 million.

The global box office was as high as $733.58 million.

The film set the highest North American box office record and the global box office record for Relativity Entertainment.

Hollywood's island genre has undoubtedly made a comeback, and many believe that after years of silence, pirate movies are about to usher in a golden age.

But the success of Pirates of the Caribbean can't be replicated, because Captain Jack Sparrow can't!

After two months of remediation, Gore Verbinski reconvened the crew and went to Rosario in Baja California again to shoot the last two sequels at once.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew was split in two, and the casting team and styling team stayed in Los Angeles to recruit new main actors, such as those who chose the pirate kings.

Ronan is not intervening, the crew has a mature production team and director team, and George Clint is personally watching, which can be reassured.

The only news he cared about, George Clint accepted Gore Wibinski's suggestion to invite Pony to be Captain Howling Wind.

Of course, Ronan talked to Gore Verbinski before the crew left, reminding him not to ignore the fluidity of the plot by focusing too much on gorgeous special effects.

As for drastically compressing the effects and spending the camera on the narrative, Ronan didn't have that idea.

Special effects are inherently one of the biggest selling points of this type of film.

Frankly speaking, such a movie that tends to be young, the main audience is teenagers, and it is a must for the movie to be lively and gorgeous.

Ronan holds the final editing rights of the film, and the post-producer of the crew is Jessica Felton, and the power of the film is actually completely under his control.

In this film, as long as Captain Jack is here, there will be no audience in the next ten years.

Once Walt Disney had to overturn and start over, the poor audience reputation of the fourth and fifth parts was only a secondary reason, and the real reason was Johnny Depp.

At that time, Johnny Depp was in a very poor state, and related news was everywhere, such as being late, playing big names, etc., were trivial, and Amber Heard's pair, it can really be said that "as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world", the scumbag met the bad girl, and the negative news generated by the two was like Mars hitting the earth.

Johnson Depp has become a time bomb in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, or is it completely uncontrollable, no one knows when it will explode, blowing himself and his huge investment into the sky.

And then there is Johnny Depp's salary, although other films other than pirates are played one after another, but as Captain Jack Sparrow living in the world, Johnny Depp is irreplaceable, and the high salary simply makes the producer vomit blood.

As a typical serialized movie superstar, the former Johnny Depp has Robert Downey Jr.'s super high salary, but he doesn't have the professionalism of Robert Downey Jr.'s prodigal son.

is also a star actor who cooperates with Disney, and the gap between the two is too big.

Another piece of good news is that Embassy Pictures officially launched the DVD of "Spy 2" into the distribution channel a week ago, selling 4.23 million units in the first week of its release, with sales of $79.21 million.

Since "Spider-Man" and "The Lord of the Rings" in 2002, the corresponding figure of the annual sales champion in the North American DVD market has risen to 10 million units sold and more than $200 million in sales.

Ronan once read a statistic that about five or six years after the release of "Finding Nemo", the total DVD sales exceeded 16 million units, and the total sales reached more than 320 million US dollars.

This may seem like an exaggeration, but it is a joint publication of data by several third parties.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in the decade from 2002 to 2012, Hollywood studios made money on DVDs.

Just when Ronan was paying attention to the DVD market, Monica Bellucci, a famous movie star from Italy, suddenly came to visit.
