TV series?Ronan frowned slightly, there were many film and television works about the Chernobyl incident, but there were few that were really outstanding, and some of the ones he watched at that time were mostly works from Western countries or companies, and their position and attitude of standing on a high place and looking down can be imagined.

However, one thing can be confirmed: the Chernobyl incident is world-famous, the most famous nuclear disaster event in human history, and it itself has attracted much attention.

Filming becomes a film and television work, if you can do a good job of quality control, maybe it will really be a head.

However, if the Americans were asked to shoot a film about Chernobyl, the content and theme could be imagined with their eyes closed.

Ronan, as a film investor, doesn't think too much about these.

Besides, the giant country that used to be no longer exists.

Marianne Del Rio then said: "Mr. Anderson, my first plan was to shoot a TV series, because I couldn't find an investor, so I had to shoot a short documentary first. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a script and a plan?"

Marianne Del Leo's voice instantly became a big cutter: "The plan and the script have not yet fallen on writing. ”

Ronan understood and said, "In this case, you prepare a few episodes of the script and the relevant project plan first." He glanced at Connie next to him, and after Connie handed the business card to Marianne del Leo, he said, "You contact Connie then, and I'll review your project." ”

"Thank you. Marianne Del Rio understood that this was the best result, and that it was much better than the film company she had been in contact with before, and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Anderson, for your support." ”

Ronan smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.

Although Marianne Del Rio is the Oscar winner, she won the most underappreciated award for Best Documentary Short Film, which is worse than Best Animated Short Film.

This result is enough to make Marianne Del Rio happy to do the preparations.

Ronan then went to talk to Peter Jackson, the great New Zealand director who was full of ambition and ambition.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy took Peter Jackson to the pinnacle of his life.

Recently there was news circulating in Hollywood that Universal Pictures and Peter Jackson have agreed on a partnership that will lead to the director-producer of a reboot of King Kong, one of Hollywood's most prestigious productions.

Peter Jackson and his team are said to be demanding a twenty percent share of the film's global box office.

After tonight, the great director will be called: "Peter the Great." ”

"Hello, Mr. Lasseter. ”

In the corner to the left of the ballroom, Ronan shook hands with John Lasseter, one of the leaders of the Pixar Hangers: "Congratulations on winning the Oscars. ”

John Lasseter wore gold-rimmed glasses and smiled and said, "Thank you." Mr. Anderson's congratulations are an honor for Pixar. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "You're so polite, Pixar Studios is now a leader in the production of animated feature films, and its achievements are remarkable. ”

John Lasseter modestly said, "Pixar still has a lot of room to grow. ”

"Shahai Entertainment also has an animation studio. Ronan said, "Far worse than you." ”

Unexpectedly, John Lasseter actually knew about Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio: "The studio that made "Peppa Pig" and "Minions"?"

Ronan was a little surprised: "Have you heard of it?"

John Lasseter nodded lightly: "I have watched these two animation works, my daughter likes "Peppa Pig very much", and often pesters me to buy all kinds of peripherals, and your peripheral profits are enviable." ”

Without waiting for Ronan to speak, he said again: "I have accompanied my daughter to several stores, and the surroundings of "Peppa Pig" are all in demand. Mr. Anderson, you guys are much better at cartoon merchandise than Pixar. ”

Regarding the situation of "Peppa Pig", Ronan also learned from the report, since the beginning of this year, this animated short film has gradually attracted the attention of parents and children's audiences after several broadcasts, and with the cooperation of media publicity, the popularity has gradually increased, and the most direct reaction is in the surroundings.

In February 2004, merchandise sales totaled more than $5 million, almost as much as all past merchandise sales combined.

In addition, the BBC in the United Kingdom and a television station in Australia have decided to introduce the children's cartoon, and the rights to the first season of the two places alone sold $3.5 million.

With the passage of time, "Peppa Pig" is gradually shining and creating a steady stream of revenue, becoming a long-term profit point for Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan is also very modest: "Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio has just started, and it is far worse than Pixar Studio in terms of the operation and profitability of cartoons. ”

John Lasseter suddenly smiled, with a bitterness that outsiders couldn't read, and said casually: "Pixar Studio is also good data." ”

Only they, the senior management of Pixar Studios, know that Pixar Studios is only a downstream producer, and the operation and distribution of animated feature films produced are completely controlled by the distributor Disney, and the revenue generated by animated feature films is also taken by Disney first, and then it can be Pixar's turn.

It is precisely because of this situation that Steve Jobs has repeatedly negotiated with Michael Eisner, hoping to truly achieve a win-win situation for cooperation.

It's a pity that Pixar Studios is not met with Michael Eisner of the **10s, but a tyrant and dictator after a complete metamorphosis.

Even Steve Jobs can't take advantage of Michael Eisner.

The roots of all this came from the investment and distribution agreement signed between Pixar Studios and Walt Disney in the early 90s, when Steve Jobs did not have much net worth and Pixar Studios was poor, and if it wanted to complete the world's first computer-animated feature film, it had to sign a contract with Disney that resembled a deed of sale.

"I still envy you. John Lasseter sighed: "You are producing, operating and distributing all in one, you don't have to accept another layer of exploitation, and you have complete autonomy. ”

Ronan deliberately probed: "I've heard about what happened between Pixar and Disney. ”

John Lasseter didn't have any surprises, after all, it's not a secret thing, Steve Jobs has been in an interview with the media several times in harsh terms against Michael Eisner and Walt Disney, and even denounced the former as a ***.

"Pixar can find other publishers. Ronan said seemingly casually, "Your contract with Disney isn't long, is it?"

John Lasseter sighed: "How can it be so easy, including this "Finding Nemo", all the films distributed by Disney at Pixar Studios, the copyright is shared by both parties. ”

Hearing this, Ronan's face did not move, but he sighed in his heart, it was really troublesome. 、

He already knew this, after all, Robert Iger came out of Disney.

"Toy Story", "Bugs", "Monster Electric" and "Finding Nemo", among others, half of these series are owned by Walt Disney.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been waiting for an opportunity.

In the same way, it is also for this reason that a tough and skillful character like Steve Jobs was eaten to death by Michael Eisner.

If you think about it carefully, in the early to mid-90s, the Disney management led by Michael Eisner probably had the idea of digging a hole before talking about it, cooperating with Pixar Studios, and then Steve Jobs and Pixar Studios, who were short of money and resources, still had to jump into it even if they saw the pit.

It was the most difficult stage of Steve Jobs's life, and it wasn't until Pixar Studios went public that Steve Jobs really crossed the threshold of being a billionaire.

Ronan chatted with John Lasseter for a while, gradually became acquainted, exchanged a lot of prospects for the development of future animated feature films, and the two became much closer, and began to call each other by their names.

Finally, when Ronan said goodbye and left, he said: "John, please greet Mr. Jobs on my behalf, I am a shareholder of Apple, and I will personally visit Mr. Jobs when I have time." ”

John Lasseter said solemnly: "I will definitely bring it." ”

Looking at the figure of Ronan leaving, John Lasseter had an idea, Ronan is a shareholder of Apple, and combined with what he just said, it seems that he should be a supporter of Steve Jobs, and the two sides have a certain common position.

As Ronan prepares to go home, he searches the banquet hall and soon finds Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson is in trouble, and a middle-aged Latin uncle with big bags under her eyes and a strange appearance is entangled with her, and she can't get rid of it.

"Miss Johnson. Benicio del Toro touched his hair and followed Scarlett Johansson: "Can I invite you to have a drink?"

Scarlett Johansson didn't give any good faces, and said as she walked: "Sorry, I don't know how to drink, I'm not even twenty-one years old, what are you trying to do when you invite me to drink?"

Benicio del Toro was stunned, and Scarlett Johansson saw Ronan and quickly quickened her pace: "Ronan, I'm here." ”

Ronan came next to Scarlett Johansson and looked at the Latina man, who immediately grabbed Ronan's arm tightly.

Seeing Ronan and then at Scarlett Johansson, Benicio del Toro suddenly realized and immediately said, "Sorry, Miss Johnson, Mr. Anderson, I was abrupt." ”

Ronan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Benicio del Toro knows who to mess with and who can't be provoked, so he quickly disappears.

Ronan walked towards the door of the banquet hall: "Let's go back." ”

Scarlett Johansson followed, but said, "Is there a dedicated elevator in the presidential suite here?"

Ronan couldn't help but laugh: "There is an elevator." ”
