Pulling Tony Koch on the plane and finding a seat in business class, Ronan packed his bags and prepared to head to Park City, Utah, where the St. Denis Film Festival is held.

"I came to Hollywood to see the thousands of styles of female stars. Tony Koch fastened his seatbelt and complained: "It turns out that you dragged me to the film festival before I even left the airport." ”

Ronan ignored Tony's complaints and said, "The festival is an important part of Hollywood. ”

Tony rolled his eyes and asked, "There are a lot of beautiful female stars at the festival?"

"I guess there are beautiful women. Ronan told the truth: "But it's not easy to meet big female stars at the St. Denis Film Festival. ”

The St. Denis Film Festival in this era is purely a paradise for independent films, unlike a few years later, when it was fully invaded by Hollywood films, and there is a tendency to become a place for Hollywood film promotion and trading.

Tony said dissatisfiedly: "Pretty women and beautiful female stars are completely two creatures!"

Ronan deliberately asked, "Is there a difference?"

Tony asked rhetorically: "Your last big star is the same as an ordinary woman, can you feel the same psychologically?"

Ronan was speechless for a moment, and the answer to the question was obvious.

The bonuses of aura, identity, and fame have a considerable psychological impact.

Thinking about the Hollywood door in the past, as well as the Teacher Chen's door incident, why are so many people vying to watch it? If you really want to say that their appearance and figure may not be stronger than the top actresses in the San Fernando Valley, but the effect brought by the star halo is quite large.

"Do you know what my biggest goal is this time?" asked Tony again.

Ronan shrugged: "Isn't it an insight into our future cooperation?"

"That's just one aspect. Tony said: "I still have to meet a few female stars, it's better to ......"

He laughed, and then asked, "Honestly, Ronan." How many female celebrities have you been on?"

Ronan was silent, not knowing how to answer.

Tony asked curiously, "Ten, five, three, one?" and his face was full of incredulity: "Not a single one? You're wasting resources! wasting resources is a crime, Ronan!"

Ronan didn't care, and replied casually: "It's not time yet." Let's put it this way, when you're high enough, it's nothing. ”

He changed the subject: "Let's get down to business, have you started a new round of financing over there?"

"Not yet. Tony put away his jokes and said seriously: "You have to have a film project to attract investment." And my mother's relationship, the last round of $40 million was basically used up, and I had to find new sources of investment, and now I can only do some preparations. ”

Ronan nodded: "It's okay, when I start a new project here, your side will be almost ready." ”

Tony straightened his seatbelt and asked, "How much investment do you need for your next project?"

Ronan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not decided yet, at least five or six million dollars." ”

"I'm going back to speed up the financing of the operation. Tony was a little confused: "It's not a small number. ”

Ronan patted his chair and said, "Let me give you some motivation." If the source of financing is not from Aunt Helen's friends and business associates, you can increase the fee. As I told you last time, many companies have fees as high as 15 percent. ”

Tony's eyes were full of stars: "Let me do the math, fifteen percent is what." ”

Someone sat down in a seat across the aisle, and the man glanced at Ronan and took the initiative to beckon, "Ronan." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Ronan turned his head and responded with a smile, "What a coincidence, Gray." ”

The person who greeted him was Lionsgate's Gray Enrique.

"You're going to the St. Denis Film Festival too?" said Gray Enrique.

Ronan nodded: "Our destination is the same. ”

Gray Enrique looked at Ronan and said, "I heard you bought a distribution company?"

"Embassy Pictures, a very small distribution company. Ronan didn't mean to deny it, after all, the library of Embassy Pictures was bought by Lionsgate: "The distribution ability is very average, and it can't be compared with Lionsgate." ”

Gray Enrique recalls the old saying: "It's better for 'Death to Come' to be distributed by Lionsgate. With such a large investment, if there is a problem with the issuance, you can't explain it to the investors. ”

Ronan still procrastinated: "When the film is finished, can we talk about it after watching it? I am also responsible for the distributor." ”

Gray Enrique frowned, only feeling that this person was not ordinary shameless.

Does the distributor need you as a producer?

He clearly sensed that Ronan Anderson didn't want to give "Death is Coming" to Lionsgate for distribution.

What a profiteer who turns his face and doesn't recognize people!

Ronan dealt with Gray Enrique, continued to chat with Tony, and when the plane took off, he pulled out a book and read it.

It's still a book about the entertainment industry.

Someone has said that many ways to make money are written in the law, and he must be familiar with the industry rules and the provisions of relevant laws in order to find opportunities to obtain benefits.

Ronan and Tony arrived in Park City without incident, and it was quite cold in Park City at the end of January, and snow could still be seen on the hills outside the city.

Although the festival has not yet officially opened, the cold weather cannot stop the enthusiasm of the film.

Not only are the big and small cinemas in Park City showing movies in turn, but even in the city square and the specially planned roadside, you can see people selling movies everywhere.

Among them, many people can't even touch the edge of Hollywood, and there are many people who make movies purely out of hobby and then try their luck in Park City.

From short films that cost a few hundred or thousands of dollars, to feature films that cost tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can find them everywhere.

In the evenings, small screens are set up on the roadside and in the squares, and the owners of small films take advantage of the rare opportunity of the St. Denis Film Festival to re-screen their films in the hope of being sold.

Some people don't expect to make much money, but they want their masterpieces to be seen by more people.

After all, movies are made for people to watch.

Still, most people come with dreams of overnight success.

No matter what kind of person they are, no one can deny their love for movies.

It was a bit chilly for those who were used to the Southern California climate, and Ronan put on his newly bought down jacket, a cotton hat, and even gloves.

The cold night can't stop his passion for movies.

In this extremely competitive industry, it is difficult to stick to it for a long time without enough love.

Ronan and Tony go downstairs and meet Gray Enrique again in the hotel lobby.

The two sides stayed in the same hotel, and the purpose of coming to the St. Denis Film Festival was also somewhat similar, and it was not a coincidence to meet at this time.

"Is there a suitable target, Gray?" asked Ronan.

In the afternoon, Gray Enrique had been walking around the square for a long time.

The other party has already acquired the distribution company, and Gray Enrique will not be stupid enough to say it if he has a goal, shaking his head and saying, "No." ”

A middle-aged man next to him asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Ronan nodded and smiled at him, and introduced himself: "Ronan Anderson, the buyer of Shahai Entertainment. ”

The middle-aged man shook hands with Ronan and introduced himself: "Billy Horford, from Artison Entertainment. ”

Ronan knew this company, and the more well-known Chinese name in his previous life was called Yijiang Entertainment Company.

The group left the hotel together, and Ronan's goal was the square and the roadside, where he searched for valuable movies, like shopping on the antique street, and found real treasures from countless low-value goods.

It wasn't easy, but for Ronan, the choice was a little simpler.

Those films shot by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, as long as there are familiar to him, they must be valuable.

Ronan came to Tony's movie booths to watch, and every movie shown on the side of the road would make him stop and watch for a while, and then reminisce.

From six o'clock until nine o'clock in the evening, nothing was found.
