After sending Amanda Seyfried home, Ronan returned to Beverly Hills.

"Sir. Nikia, the butler, waited in the antechamber: "Do you need a late-night snack?"

Ronan waved his hand: "No need. ”

Nikia followed Ronan into the living room, took a package from the shelf next to it, and handed it over: "This is an express from Netflix." ”

Ronan took it and said as he dismantled it, "I see." He glanced at the time: "Nikia, you go and rest." ”

Nikia said, "Okay, call me whenever you need anything." ”

Ronan opens the package, which reveals a transcribed DVD from Netflix's New York warehouse sorting company.

It happened to be talking to Amanda Seyfried about singing tonight, and the relevant information arrived.

Some time ago, Ronan thought of a youth song and dance movie, based on a stage play, and a few days ago I happened to see relevant news in the newspaper, and specially commissioned the people of Netflix's New York branch to collect some relevant information.

Came to the study on the second floor, turned on the computer, and drove the CD, Ronan saw the included content and nodded slightly.

When Ronan lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Amanda Seyfried's masterpieces or famous works were really rare, from "Mean Girls" to more than ten years later, Amanda Seyfried is still playing the role of the girl vase type.

Amanda Seyfried has excellent physical condition, which is both an advantage and a constraint.

At that time, the so-called Hollywood Four Little Divas, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Roberts can be said to be the most undeserved, especially after 2010, these two stars have simply become typical of popular works.

Amanda Seyfried is good to say that there are at least a few representative works,

Emma Roberts's red is typical.

Many people know that Emma Roberts is a big star, but few people know what famous movies and roles this big star has played.

All the public remembers is Julia Roberts' niece and the sturdy boyfriend who can beat up her tall and strong boyfriend until she has to call the police for help.

Now that "Mean Girls" has been filmed and produced and is ready to be released, Amanda Seyfried once starred in the song and dance film with Meryl Streep, Ronan will naturally not let go.

The name of that film is "Mamma Mia", and Ronan can remember this name because there was once a cartoon called "Mamma Mia Duck".

Hollywood's musical and dance dramas are rarely original, and most of them come from stage adaptations, so Ronan paid special attention to the news in this regard, and finally saw the relevant news some time ago, "Mamma Mia" landed on Broadway again.

Sure that there would be no oolong incident and unnecessary trouble, Ronan informed the people at the Netflix branch.

Maybe it's because his own special experience is too terrifying, or maybe he has watched too many related movies and TV and is worried, Ronan pays great attention to this.

The information mailed by Netflix's New York branch is very detailed, "Mamma Mia" is a stage revue from London, which officially entered Broadway in the early 2000s, and the response at the beginning was average, and after two Broadway adaptations in the past two years, after re-choreographing songs and dances that are more suitable for American audiences, it gradually regained its vitality and re-entered Broadway in the second half of this year, and became famous in one fell swoop.

Normally, it may take more than a decade or even decades for a stage play to go from Broadway to Hollywood, such as the classic musical "Chicago", which also sold the film rights until the 90s.

But "Mamma Mia" has been targeted for a long time.

According to Netflix's contact with the copyright owner of the stage play, a small British producer named Jodie Kramer bought the film rights to "Mamma Mia" as early as 1997, and hired Catherine Johnson, who used to work in the British TV series "Emergency Room", as a screenwriter to adapt a movie script.

Between 1997 and 1999, Judie Kramer sought to work with film companies in the UK to make Mamma Mia into a film.

Unluckily, no British film companies were interested.

This has been done with Judy Kramer's resume.

The folks at Netflix had apparently done a lot of work to learn a lot about Jodie Kramer through the rights to the stage show, a female producer who, despite being nearly 50 years old, had never produced a single film or TV project, not even a low-budget or experimental one.

So, no film company is willing to accompany her on the adventure.

Since 1999, Judy Kramer has simply put the project on hold until now.

Perhaps the producer himself has already given up on the project.

According to the information, Judy Kramer currently lives in London, and if she wants to get the film rights to "Mamma Mia", she must talk to herself.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Ronan first asked the distribution staff of the London branch of Embassy Pictures to confirm that Judie Kramer was in London and decided to take Connie on a personal trip.

Anyway, he is going to London to attend a charity dinner hosted by the British royal family, and by the way, he will talk to Jodie Kramer about copyright transfer.

It doesn't take much time.

Since the last time he met William through Bell Grylls in London, Ronan has occasionally contacted him, this time with an invitation from William.

The charity gala held by the royal family, inviting the rich to participate, actually has only one goal, to get the rich to give generously.

Ronan had been prepared for this, and like other tycoons, charity was a fundamental cause that was indispensable to a certain extent.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Ronan collected a lot of information about the American version of the stage play "Mamma Mia", the American version of the play has actually changed a lot compared to the British version, and if it is adapted into a movie, it must be based on the American version.

Although both Britain and the United States speak English, and even many Americans, including people in the film industry, like and even envy the cultural heritage of the United Kingdom, the overall response of pure British films in the North American film market is not good, and the cultural market differences between the two places are real.

This should not be overlooked.

In addition, Ronan also asked about the latest situation of Uwe Ball, after Uwe Ball got the green light for Shahai Entertainment's project on "Vampire Lane", he has begun to contact the screenwriter to create the script, but Brother Bao did not change his mind, and dragged Robert Lee to Irvine City, it is estimated that he will not grind Blizzard Entertainment to death, and he will definitely not give up.

Uwe Bauer is also a popular director now, and the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" is constantly piling up.

Halloween belongs to the schedule of horror films.

"Freddy vs. Jason" successfully attracted the audience with this hybrid protagonist combat mode and became the hottest movie in the Halloween schedule, the two IPs together are amazingly powerful, earning $36.4 million at the box office in North America in three days after the opening weekend, easily surpassing last weekend's champion "Dungeon Siege" and topping the North American box office charts.

The second place at the box office was occupied by the new "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," a brainless plasma horror film that also became a long-established star, taking home $28.09 million from 3,010 theaters over the weekend, thus squeezing "Dungeon Siege" into third place.

The situation of "Dungeon Siege" is best described in one sentence.

The heat is like a gust of wind, and when it blows, it leaves.

On the second weekend of its release, "Dungeon Siege" was no longer hot, and the rhythm brought up through hype was almost dispersed after a week.

After all, in this information age, there is simply too much entertainment news that attracts attention.

Dungeon Siege's second-weekend box office fell more than 65 percent from its opening weekend, earning $9.72 million, making it only the third largest box office player.

But no one will say anything about such results.

With the addition of four working days, the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" has reached a total of $46.27 million.

The film's production cost was only $3.5 million, and with the money invested in publicity and distribution, the total budget was only $12 million.

Based on the current situation, it is completely certain that the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" will be around $70 million.

The overseas response is certainly much worse, but there is still some hope for the global box office to hit $100 million.

Just before Ronan left Los Angeles, Uwe Ball and Robert Lee rushed back from Irvine, and the copyright matter was still unsettled.

Blizzard's considerations are clearly moving towards infinite considerations.

The reason why Uwe Ball rushed back was to sign a formal brokerage contract with CAA.

Ronan also took advantage of the time before going to London to attend the signing ceremony between the two parties.

In Hollywood, maybe if you make a good movie, no one will care about it, but when you make a movie that is a big hit at the box office, the situation is immediately different, and you don't have to worry about the salary and director contract in a short period of time, and some companies take the initiative to send it.

Uwe Bauer falls into the latter category, and bad movies are never a problem, provided that bad movies can sell well.

There are even people who have the idea of Uwe Bauer and want to poach Uwe Bauer to direct film projects of other companies.

Uwe Bauer has the blood of a German man, and directly rejected several poaching companies, stating that he would only cooperate with Relativity Entertainment in Hollywood.

Having said that, it's rare to find a talent like Brother Bao in this era.

Ronan has always valued talent, so he will continue to support Uwe Bauer, and the funds needed to run "Vampire Lane" were quickly injected into the crew's special account by the Pacific Foundation, and Uwe Bauer did not have to worry about funding at all when preparing for this film.

Of course, there is not much money, only $3.5 million.

Brother Bao's film, the first element is always to control the scale of investment!

After attending the signing ceremony of Uwe Ball, Ronan took a flight to London and found Jodie Kramer through the contact of the British branch of Embassy Pictures, and talked about the film rights of "Mamma Mia".

The two sides talked very smoothly, and even went a little more smoothly than Ronan imagined.
