Stallone left with his daughters, and David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh came over and had a drink with Ronan.

Ryan Kavanaugh asked, "Ronan, thank you for granting Maple Leaf Pictures." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Ryan, in the big picture, our position is the same, only a strong enough force can break through the blockade of Hollywood's traditional forces. ”

"That's right. David Ellison answered: "The big six Hollywood companies think they're Hollywood!"

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "Maple Leaf Pictures has talked to the big six companies about working together, but they all refused. ”

David Ellison added: "It's not an outright refusal, and their willingness to accept Maple Leaf Pictures' investment in a film project may seem like a good thing, but Kevin Spacey has reminded us more than once that it can be a waste of money to get involved in a film project run by a big six company." ”

Ronan said honestly: "It's very likely. He is particularly honest and reliable: "Hollywood has a set of accounting rules that are default in the industry, and within such accounting rules, a movie is not profitable at all. Can you imagine that movies like "Saving Private Ryan" lose money on the books. ”

Ryan Cavanaugh said, "Fortunately, Maple Leaf Pictures has Kevin Spacey and a reputable partner like Ronan. ”

Ronan sighed and said, "I have also come from this step, and the hardships are hard to describe. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. David Ellison thinks that Ronan can say so much because of his alumnus's face: "There are few people in Hollywood who are willing to face us newcomers with such an honest attitude." ”

Ronan smiled, "You're too polite, David. We are our own people. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh has a bit of a good impression of people who have proved that they are more friendly to Maple Leaf Pictures with practical actions, and the other party has a great reputation, and the company he founded is indeed facing the targeting and suppression of big Hollywood companies.

It's absolutely impossible to be your own person, but there are some things that you can listen to each other's opinions.

Ryan Cavanaugh smiled and said, "Ronan, you have worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and you have a deeper understanding of this circle and industry than we do, what do you think about our current situation?"

As a newcomer to the industry, Ryan Kavanaugh's words firmly tied Maple Leaf Pictures and Relativity Entertainment together.

"I can't talk about opinions, but I have some experience based on actual experience. Ronan seemed to remember the difficulties of the past, and his face was a little heavy: "Relativity Entertainment has been a little famous since it was dormant, and it has encountered many difficulties during this period, and the most difficult ones still come from those six. ”

David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh nodded slightly, although they have not been in Hollywood for a long time, they have a personal feeling in this regard.

Ronan continued: "Hollywood's upper echelons don't want new companies to emerge that can stand side by side with them, and through the MPAA and distribution chain, they firmly grasp the voice of the industry and are the rule-makers of Hollywood. ”

"What about us?" he smiled, his smile a little bitter: "Being in a relatively low position in the industrial chain, we can only operate within the rules they have made. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh answered, "So, to be one of the rule-makers if you want to protect our interests, you have to be as one of the rule-makers as possible?"

Ronan's words have always been imperceptibly hidden, and this guidance is hidden deep behind the facts: "This has always been the direction of relativistic entertainment. ”

David Ellison said, "The existing Hollywood landscape is hard to break. ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "There is no need to break, Relativity Entertainment can become a member of the Big Six." ”

Ryan Kavanaugh's eyes lit up: "You mean buying one of the big six. ”

"I've never said that. Ronan deliberately told very solemnly: "Both, there are some things that can't be said nonsense. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh hastened to say, "I understand, I understand. ”

David Ellison, after all, is young and can't help but say, "We have money in our hands, but what we lack is opportunity." Wasn't the person who now controls the Big Six in Hollywood an outsider before?"

Ryan Kavanaugh nodded slowly, and instantly thought of Viacom, News Corp., NBC Media, Sony Entertainment, and so on.

Ronan said intentionally or unintentionally: "Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood of the past, traditional film companies have been acquired by foreign large groups since the seventies and eighties, and integrity has not been controlled by large groups, and only Disney remains." ”

This is a basic fact, Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison also instantly thought about Disney when they heard Ronan's words.

Compared with other film companies, it seems that Disney is a relatively simple company among the six majors.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ryan Kavanaugh deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "Ronan, ask a question, which one is Relativity Entertainment targeting?"

Ronan smiled and said, "There is no goal yet. ”

"We are partners. Ryan Kavanaugh made a gesture of his own: "Keep it a secret from us?"

He said very generously: "In the future, Relativity Entertainment has financial needs, although we look for Maple Leaf Pictures, we will fully support it." ”

Ronan nodded: "Thank you, if necessary, I will find you." ”

This kind of seemingly bold nonsense, just listen to it, if you believe it, you will definitely vomit blood in the future.

Ryan Kavanaugh exchanged glances with David Ellison without a trace, and the two chatted enthusiastically with Ronan again.

At the end of the reception, Ronan took his leave and left.

After seeing off all the guests, Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison got into the same car.

Ryan Kavanaugh asked David Ellison: "Ronan Anderson is still defensive of us and won't give details. ”

David Ellison agrees: "Entertaining the current situation with the theory of relativity, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and they must be eyeing one of the big six companies." He said, "But overall, Ronan Anderson was kind to us. ”

"Relativity Entertainment needs allies. Ryan Kavanaugh felt like he had seen the truth at a glance: "Don't forget, we have the money. ”

This is his and David Ellison's biggest asset and confidence.

Although he was ostracized by traditional forces in Hollywood, Ryan Kavanaugh believes that even if he uses money to smash it, he can smash a way out.

He still doesn't believe it, and these people in Hollywood don't covet the money of Maple Leaf Pictures!

David Ellison said, "Yes, we have the money!" Ryan, don't you think the method of relativistic entertainment is also suitable for Maple Leaf Pictures?"

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "You mean buying one of the big six?"

"That's right. David Ellison said slowly: "Given the opportunity, I'm sure I can convince my father to invest more money, and you can also raise money again from Wall Street, right?"

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "It's a rare opportunity. He seemed to realize: "Even if we want to swallow the six major companies in one bite, it is very difficult, but we can take it step by step." ”

David Ellison suddenly thought of one thing: "I heard Harvey Weinstein say that Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment bought his Disney shares. ”

Ryan Kavanaugh suddenly realized: "No wonder Ronan Anderson inadvertently mentioned Walt Disney." ”

The two looked at each other, and they all thought of the current situation of Walt Disney, and at the same time an idea popped up that the target of Relativity Entertainment was most likely Walt Disney!

David Ellison took a deep breath and said, "Do we have a chance?" ”

Ryan Cavanaugh said: "Keep an eye on Ronan Anderson. ”

David Ellison instantly threw alumni and the like out of the clouds: "If Relativity Entertainment's target is Disney, maybe it's an opportunity for us as well." ”

Ryan Kavanaugh thought more: "If Relativity Entertainment were to acquire Disney, it would inevitably buy Disney's stock, which would cause Disney's stock price to skyrocket for a certain period of time." The rest of the shareholders may also sell their shares because of the increase in the stock price, which may also be an opportunity for us. ”

David Ellison thinks it's doable.

"Let's not rush, take it one step at a time. Ryan Kavanaugh said: "First seek to become a shareholder of Disney, preferably a major shareholder, with a certain voice, and then ......"

David Ellison was vaguely excited: "If our speculation is true and the operation is successful, the future ...... It's exciting to think about, Walt Disney and Relativity Entertainment!"

Ryan Kavanaugh is a man of action, otherwise he wouldn't have put hedge funds desperate on the stock market in 2000: "I'm familiar with the stock market and finance, and I'd have people staring at Disney's stock price." David, you're an alumnus of Ronan Anderson, and you have a lot to do with him, understand?"

David Ellison patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became hot, and it seemed that the concealment that had been in Hollywood had completely dissipated.

Ryan Kavanaugh seems to see the future of Maple Leaf Pictures, with a full ecological industry chain in film, television, sports, digital and Internet.

These reminded Ryan Kavanaugh of what he said when he was financing on Wall Street: I want to change Hollywood!

At only 31 years old, proud, charismatic, and most importantly, Ryan Kavanaugh is rich and has a lot of money!

More than 5,000 Wall Street investors have invested in him.

Even Ronan has to admit that Ryan Kavanaugh is remarkable when it comes to pulling investments.

Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Pictures has raised more than $10 billion from Wall Street in five years!

Despite the hedge fund bankruptcy fiasco, Ryan Kavanaugh is confident that he is a complete genius and that entering Hollywood can save the entire film industry.

After David Ellison got out of the car, Ryan Kavanaugh hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Only the brave can eat crabs." ”
