On the way back, Ronan flipped through Uwe Power's script, which aroused Jessica Felton's curiosity.

Jessica Filton asked, "Can I take a look?"

Ronan handed it to her and said, "The story that Uwe Bauer just wrote has not yet been polished by a screenwriter. ”

"The German director?" Jessica Filton was even more curious: "Hollywood...... Well, it's rare to see a director like him all over the world. ”

Ronan laughed: "Indeed, there are very few directors like this. ”

Jessica Filton read the script with interest, and the more she read it, the more interesting she felt, and asked: "I remember that Shahai Entertainment set up a project called "Vampire Hunter Lincoln" last year, and the director seems to be Uwe Ball, is this the same genre. ”

"Basically, for example, Washington's axe in the script ended up in Lincoln's hands. Ronan said simply: "Uwe Power intends to shoot a magical version of the cinematic universe of American presidents and historical celebrities. ”

Jessica Filton asked, "Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "Almost." He briefly introduced: ""Lincoln the Vampire Slayer" is the beginning, and then this one is about Washington, and then it depends on Uwe Bauer's plan, which is roughly at the level of the founding father of the United States or other founding celebrities." ”

"A low-budget B-movie?" asked Jessica Filton again.

Ronan said honestly: "Within the cost of $10 million, Uwe Ball can shoot casually, with his current appeal, it is not difficult to achieve profitability, but no matter how high the investment is, it is difficult to say, and it is more likely to be a loss." ”

Jessica Filton nodded slowly, read the script carefully, read it for a while, and said, "This is a fusion of Cthulhu's world view and setting, right?"

"Uwe Bauer plans to set the entire series in the world of Cthulhu, about the founding fathers of the United States, who built the nation from a wild and terrifying world," Ronan said. ”

However, the story of Uwe Ball is not quite what Ronan originally thought of when he talked about "Falling Sakura God Axe Washington".

Ronan was influenced by the Internet and initially considered a version of the bomb so that he could have a backup plan in case Uwe Ball couldn't get his way to it.

Roughly a wild state of Virginia, the human beings who crossed the ocean to colonize here can only survive in the cracks of various horror and horror existences, and there is a terrifying ruler in Virginia, which is a mutated ancient cherry tree, which is the most terrifying monster in Virginia.

Young Washington, the son of an ordinary human settlement plantation owner, has been alone since he was a child, determined to change the world, at the age of twelve he created a super battle axe, grew up in the expectations of countless people, slashed the terrifying cherry tree, brought hope to Virginia, and since then has been nicknamed the Falling Cherry Axe, and finally embarked on the road to world domination.

Falling cherry blossom god axe Washington is also a common meme about foreign countries on the Internet.

There are many similar memes.

For example, many people are always dissatisfied with the life in front of them and feel that the life outside is extraordinarily beautiful.

In the eyes of this part of the people, it can be roughly summarized in this way.

The United States has a domineering little passport, Germany has a sewer of conscience; Somalia has universal medical care, and Russia has a house for free; the Ganges River in India has curative effects, and the summer camps in the island country are croaking; Thatcher is splashed with coffee, South Korea is very beautiful, and Britain has a good gentleman's demeanor; democratic Iraq welcomes democracy, Afghanistan has few freedom wars; Ukraine has votes, and Bhutan has a high quality of life......

Of course, foreign monks chant sutras, and the moon is exceptionally round overseas, which is also a common situation in the world.

Uwe Bauer wrote the script on his own, and although the script needed to be polished by other writers, Ronan also considered the director to prioritize his own story.

In Hollywood, Cthulhu movies are very rare and belong to an absolute subcategory within the film genre.

But the story of Cthuluga America's Founding Father should be able to arouse the interest and attention of some people.

After Jessica Filton read the script, she returned it to Ronan and asked, "Did you go to Lindsay's crew today?"

"Smooth. Ronan put away the script and said, "The director and heroine have been finalized." ”

Jessica Felton said: "Gal Gadot? Sure enough, it's her, that actress is good, has experience in the military, it's hard to find this kind of actor in Hollywood, it's very suitable for Katniss." ”

Ronan said casually: "You know what, Jesse, I saw her today, and suddenly thought of Wonder Woman, if I can get the movie rights of Wonder Woman from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, maybe it would be good to let her play Wonder Woman." ”

"Not suitable, right?" Jessica Filton's first reaction: "Wonder Woman is ......"

She looked at her chest and said, "Can you get the movie rights to Wonder Woman?"

Ronan said directly: "No, Warner Bros. and DC Comics don't back down on Wonder Woman." ”

The negotiations between the two sides are still tug-of-war, and the remake rights of "Joker" and "A Star is Born" have long been agreed, and the copyright of "Suicide Squad", including Harley Quinn, is not a problem.

Relativity Entertainment gave up the rights to the film and television adaptation of "Wonder Woman" and instead talked to Warner Bros. about these compensation payments other than copyrights.

After all, Ronan is the producer of the new "Batman" series of movies, and a lot of information can't be hidden from him at all, Warner Bros. plans to continue to shoot a sequel after "The Dark Knight Rises" to achieve a seamless connection with the Justice League series.

The bigger Warner Bros. and DC Comics' future plans, the more capital Relativity Entertainment has to negotiate.

Back at the manor and having dinner together, Ronan and Jessica Filton tacitly went straight back to the master bedroom on the third floor, what fell Sakura God Axe Washington, what Wonder Woman and Halle Quinn's copyright, it didn't matter.

The next day, Ronan got up early in the morning for a morning jog, and when he returned, he saw Jessica Filton sitting in front of the makeup mirror in a daze.

Ronan went over and pressed her shoulder from behind, "What's wrong?"

Jessica Felton was staring at herself in the mirror for a long time before she said, "Ronan, do you think I've changed?"

Ronan took a step back and looked through the mirror, "Your breasts seem to be smaller than they used to be, is this my delusion?"

Jessica Filton felt the urge to roll her eyes, pointed to the corner of her eye and said, "See? ”

Ronan stepped forward again, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "I can't see it?" ”

This undetectable crow's feet is a normal natural law of human beings.

Jessica Filton sighed softly, "This means I'm starting to get old too." ”

Even a career-oriented woman like Jessica Felton still cares about her appearance.

Ronan remembers very clearly that he just met Jessica Filton, and no matter what the place of residence was, Jessica Filton was glamorous in front of people.

Probably only the woman herself can see this wrinkle that can be regarded as non-existent in Ronan's opinion.

Jessica Filton said in a rare heavy tone, "Have we been a little overdone lately?"

"No, you're thinking too much. Ronan hugged her from behind and said with relief: "This is a normal change in people, we have been in Hollywood for so many years, isn't it clear that the goddess of immortality has never existed, and the so-called immortality is just the result of cosmetics and knives." ”

Jessica Felton thought of those zombie faces and said, "It's scary to use a knife in your face. ”

Ronan smiled and said with relief: "Isn't wrinkles a gift of time? With your natural beauty, you can also stand the test of any wrinkles, I think, with the faint sense of vicissitudes brought by age, make you more beautiful, which is also the maturity and charm of the years." ”

Jessica Filton turned around and leaned against Ronan, "You're so good at talking. ”

Ronan said solemnly, "Jesse, do you know what is the most romantic thing in my heart?"

Jessica Felton was cooperative and asked, "What?"

Ronan said affectionately, "We are slowly growing old together. ”

Hearing this, Jessica Felton hugged Ronan tightly, apparently infected by the atmosphere: "I...... Ronan, I'm emotional, it's okay for us to be late, right?"

Ronan picked her up directly: "Honey, we are absent from work today." ”

In the first week of June, after more than a month of tug-of-war negotiations, under the pressure of the approaching release date of "The Dark Knight" and the increasing popularity of the film, Warner Bros. finally reached an agreement with Relativity Entertainment on the investment and income of the new "Batman" series of movies.

According to the terms of the agreement between the two parties, Relativity Entertainment automatically waives all investment and revenue sharing rights for subsequent sequels to the new "Batman" movie, including "The Dark Knight Rises".

The two Batman movies involved in the investment, "Time to Go to War", share the box office and all peripheral revenues, until the end of this year.

The Dark Knight was split between the box office and all peripherals until the end of 2008.

Of course, the latter premise is that Warner Bros. must follow the distribution strategy that has been developed to push "The Dark Knight" into the global film market on schedule.

The subsequent sequel to "Batman" has nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.

In order to reach this agreement and take back all rights to the "Batman" movie, Warner Bros. also paid a lot of money to Relativity Entertainment.

The first is all the remake rights of the two old films "Joker" and "A Star Is Born", and then there are the film and television adaptation rights of DC Comics' suicide squad, including Harley Quinn Harley Quinn, and peripheral characters.

This certainly doesn't involve famous characters like Batman and the Joker.

As one of the triumvirates of justice, Wonder Woman, there is no affirmation of copyright negotiation.

In the end, Relativity Entertainment secured another $20 million in cash compensation from Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

With the huge influence of the new "Batman" series and the predictable revenue capacity, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. cannot say who makes and who loses, but can only say that they take what they want.

Starting on the first weekend of June, Embassy Pictures will promote the release of two films this month, namely "Cars" and "Teddy Bear".
