Two years ago, the release of "Hurricane Rescue" from North America to overseas caused a strong market response, received high praise from the audience, and won $445.75 million at the global box office with a production cost of $70 million and publicity investment.

The audience greatly appreciates Agent Brian Mills, who dares to break through any difficulties in order to protect his children.

"I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, and if you're asking for ransom, I can tell you that I don't have any money. But I have a special set of skills that I have honed over a long career that can be a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that's the end of it. I'm not going to look for you, I'm not going to chase you. But if you don't listen, I'll go to you, I'll find you, and I'll kill you. ”

This passage can be called a classic declaration of protecting the daughter, and many viewers are still impressed by it.

Even, under the propaganda of Relativity Entertainment, there are rumors on the Internet that Liam Neeson's daughter can't mess with.

For parents, if their children are threatened, they can save them by fighting for their lives.

This is also the audience's most recognition of "Hurricane Rescue" and Brian.

Therefore, this series of films has attracted a large number of family audiences, even if there are many violent elements in the film.

The premiere of "Hurricane Rescue 2" was held at the Emirates Rock Theatre, which was quite large, and Embassy Pictures was confident in the sequel.

Ronan arrived at the premiere theater early, and with him came Robert Iger.

"Wall Street said that this side is completely left to you. ”

Standing at the door of a lounge on the second floor, looking at the guests walking on the red carpet below, Robert Iger asked Ronan, "How are you going to talk to them?"

Ronan had already thought about it: "Talk directly, don't go around in circles." ”

Robert Iger has concerns: "Then they ......"

Ronan said: "I have conducted in-depth research on Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison, these two people are eager to make a big career in Hollywood, but Hollywood's xenophobia makes it difficult for them to really break into the industry in a short period of time, these two people have told me more than once that they want to invest in Hollywood's top projects and top companies, and now there is such a good opportunity to enter Disney, will they miss it?"

Robert Iger thought about it for a moment and said, "There are five precedents for foreign money to buy Disney, and if I have enough money in my hands, I will definitely not miss it." ”

Ronan said slowly: "Sony Entertainment's acquisition of Columbia Pictures and Viacom's acquisition of Paramount Pictures actually started from becoming a larger shareholder, I am afraid that these two people will not notice, when they chatted together before, they said that a large Hollywood company was acquired by a foreign group from a simple production company, and specifically mentioned Disney, the only large company that has not been acquired by outsiders." ”

"Disney infighting is a game," said Robert Iger, "and maybe it's going to get better and better." ”

The two chatted for a while, saw that the time was about the same, and entered the VIP room together, probably tonight's premiere was relatively large, and Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison were not there for the time being.

Ronan approached director Jerry Abrams and asked about Lost.

This series will be on Netflix streaming after the New Year, and it will be determined whether the second season will be filmed and produced to see the specific broadcast situation.

Jared Abrams signed a film trilogy directing deal with Relativity Entertainment, and will later direct the filming of "Hurricane Rescue 3".

This is also the end of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy.

"I have a new film project. Because of the pleasure of working together, the first thing that came to Jerevifer's mind was Relativity Entertainment: "I wanted to make a science fiction film in a pseudo-documentary way. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Is there a script?"

Jared Abrams shook his head: "Not yet, after I find someone to write the script, I will go to you as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. Ronan said: "I'm really looking forward to it. ”

Jerry Katzenberg went to say hello to Robert Iger when Amanda Seyfried, who had just walked into the VIP room, came looking for him.

"Hi Ronan. Amanda Seyfried's delicate face was a little resentful: "Why can't I ask you out after I return to Los Angeles?" ”

Ronan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately. ”

Recently, in addition to dealing with daily work, I also have to consider and plan the affairs of Disney, which involves the two major factions of Disney, Pixar Studios and Steve Jobs, several investment institutions on Wall Street, and two new super rich people.

Not only Amanda Seyfried, but even Tom Cruise and Will Smith asked him to go to England to watch the Manchester derby, which made Ronan push.

Gianna-Quan also called him last week and said it was a surprise, but Ronan didn't want to make a fuss for the time being and didn't show up for the appointment.

The live-action rights to Pixar Studios and Disney's fairy tale films are quite important for the future of Relativity Entertainment.

Amanda Seyfried then said, "You'll always have time......"

Ronan had already seen Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison and could only say apologetically, "Probably a little busy." ”

Amanda Seyfried is not a girl without eyes, and when she saw the two people walking straight over, she said, "Okay then, we'll talk again when we have time." ”

Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison came to Ronan and shook hands with Ronan respectively, and the former said enviously: "It's another sequel movie! "Human Eradication Project 4", which was released at the end of last month, has already grossed nearly $60 million at the North American box office, will this one be more successful?"

Ronan said modestly: "It's mainly the efforts of the company's people. ”

"How many big-selling series does Relativity Entertainment have?" Ryan Kavanaugh asked, "too many, right?"

David Ellison said with great certainty: "In this regard, Relativistic Entertainment is definitely number one in Hollywood. ”

Ronan said: "The main thing is that when choosing a project, I give priority to films that can be serialized. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh continued: "It's all about Relativity Entertainment, and with these series of movies, Relativity Entertainment can stay profitable." He seems to be deliberate: "It's like Walt Disney with those classic animated feature films." ”

Ronan smiled and turned to Disney: "This can't be compared, how much value have those classic cartoons created for Disney?"

Ryan Kavanaugh suddenly lowered his voice: "Ronan, can you reveal why you took a fancy to the live-action filming license of Disney's animated feature film?"

Ronan said: "The live-action animated movie is also very interesting, and Shahai Entertainment is filming and producing a live-action version of "Alice in Wonderland", and Disney also wants to ask Relativity Entertainment in this regard. ”

David Ellison interjected: "Relativity Entertainment, is this going to be a full partnership with Disney?"

Ronan said: "Talks are underway, depending on the outcome of the negotiations. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh's voice was lowered: "I saw in the media that you are interested in selling Disney's shares, didn't the negotiations go well?"

Ronan understands that the two seem to be paying attention to Disney as well.

"Why don't we talk somewhere else? Ronan shook his head and gestured to the people around him, "This is not the place to talk. ”

It's a place where people come and go, and it's really not suitable for more intimate matters, Ryan Kavanaugh said, "David and I are guests, and of course we are at your beckon's beckon. ”

Ronan made a gesture of please: "This way, please." ”

He led the way out of the VIP room, followed by Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison.

Coming to the lounge on the second floor, Ronan beckoned the two to sit casually, and said directly: "Ryan, David, since we met, you have been asking about Disney, we are all old friends, and there is no need to go around in circles, could you be interested in Disney equity in the hands of Relativity Entertainment?"

Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison glanced at each other, and it was still the former who spoke first: "Ronan, me and David, and the situation of Maple Leaf Pictures, you know very well, it's not easy to break into Hollywood, David and I have been following Disney's dynamics recently, and I feel that Disney is a very good entry point." ”

Ronan didn't speak, just looked at Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison.

David Ellison said: "The Big Six in Hollywood are traditional forces, but five of the Big Six have also undergone several big changes and have been bought by people or companies outside the circle. Ronan, if you're interested in selling your Disney stake, be sure to prioritize Maple Leaf Pictures. ”

They have learned in detail about the recent situation at Disney, and the vast majority of Ryan Kavanaugh's funds come from many niche investment institutions on Wall Street, knowing that Ronan and the representatives of Relativity Entertainment are not just themselves, but a consortium.

If Maple Leaf Pictures can become Disney's largest shareholder, how many detours can it take? Can it struggle for a few fewer years?

Ryan Cavanno asked tentatively, "Ronan, is it true that the sale of the stake is true?"

"Relativity Entertainment's negotiations with Disney went very well. "Ronan would have insisted on this statement to anyone before the Disney shareholder meeting. He half-truthfully said: "The cooperation between the two sides will soon reach an agreement." Therefore, Disney's equity is actually of little use to Relativity Entertainment, and the current Disney stock price is rising, which is a good cash-out opportunity. ”

Ryan Cavanaugh said, "Please prioritize Maple Leaf Pictures. ”

Ronan said: "Taravis Knight of Laika Studios did contact me and expressed a strong intention to acquire, and you have followed the news and should know that he has such strength. ”

The two men certainly knew who Taravis-Knight was.

David Ellison said: "We have the quality as well. ”
