"Be careful!"

"Watch your left!"

"Look at the point, don't touch it, to the right!

Sitting in the office, Ronan looked at the open door and could hear a slight noise outside, occasionally the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the sound of heavy footsteps never stopped.

Relativity Entertainment is moving, and the Finance Department and the Legal Department have moved to the Relativity Building in Century City.

Ronan's office, along with Connie's team of assistants, will wait until he leaves Los Angeles in May to help with the new building.

Connie walked in and asked, "It's a bit of a mess, do you need me to close the door?"

Ronan shook his head: "No, it makes me feel at ease when I listen." ”

Connie has served as Ronan's assistant for many years, and can roughly guess what Ronan means, Relativity Entertainment has developed from a small company to today's entertainment group, how many pressures and difficulties there are during this period, I'm afraid only Ronan himself knows best, Relativity Entertainment left the old building of the business and moved into the brand new headquarters building, looking back a few years ago, it seems like a dream.

This cacophony lets people know that this is the reality.

Relativity Entertainment recently acquired Marvel Comics and reorganized it into Marvel Entertainment, and the company's industrial chain has become even larger.

As for the situation of Marvel, Connie has never been worried, with Ronan's plan, all problems are not a problem, and countless cases over the past few years have fully proved this.

Although the noise caused by the relocation was noisy, it was reassuring to Ronan's ears, which proved that his six years in Los Angeles were not in vain.

In six years, Relativity Entertainment has reached the position of the second-tier leader in Hollywood, and one step further can be tied with the six major companies.

This step seems to be very short, but it is close to the end of the world, and if you want to take a step forward, in addition to strength, memory and hard work, you also need a little luck.

Marvel is undoubtedly an extremely important part of this.

Thinking of this, Ronan asked, "How's the progress on Marvel's side?"

Connie immediately replied: "Mr. Iger flew to New York again this morning to attend tomorrow's press conference jointly held by Relativity Entertainment and Marvel, and at the same time sign the transfer agreement with Marvel shareholders on behalf of Relativity Entertainment." ”

Ronan asked again, "Is there a live broadcast?"

Netflix video live. Connie said, "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock." ”

Ronan nodded: "Remember to remind me." ”

The press conference is also preparing for publicity, compared to Marvel's comic book adaptation movie, Marvel has been away from the public eye for too long.

Seeing that Ronan didn't ask any more questions, Connie took out a document and handed it to Ronan: "This is the itinerary for May." ”

Ronan didn't look at it: "You can tell me the point." ”

Connie said directly: "The focus in early May is to attend the premiere of Shrek 2, go to France for the Cannes Film Festival in mid-May, and go to the UK in late May to meet the Premier League team hired by Willian and Netflix. ”

Ronan thought of the team sent to England in advance and asked, "How are they preparing?"

Connie said: 'They hired a specialist company and it was already up and running, and it was the Russian Roman Abramovich who bought Chelsea Football Club as the brainchild of that company. ”

"Are there any competitors?" Ronan asked.

"There is only one for the time being. Connie gave a name that was not unexpected: "The Abu Dhabi consortium from the UAE made a comeback last month after being forced to pull out of a Premier League club takeover in 2000, but like last time, they were met with resistance from the media, to the fans to the authorities. ”

She added: "But the Abu Dhabi consortium is not giving up this time, they are working PR. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Let people pay attention to the movements of the Abu Dhabi consortium and plan for the worst." ”

The FA, the fans and the media are very resistant to money from the Arab world at this stage, but the Premier League can open its doors to the Russians as well as to the Arabs.

The support of the fans is important, but it is not important.

As for the media, who can expect the British media to have a high level of discipline?

Ronan has dealt directly with the Abu Dhabi consortium, and even had in-depth cooperation, and once walked to the stage of "Abu Dhabi's old friend", and knows the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium very well.

When it comes to cash flow, let alone him, it is estimated that Gaizi classmates are not enough to see in front of Abu Dhabi tyrants.

If the two sides really want to compare funds, their own side will definitely lose.

Therefore, Ronan believes that if you want to win in the competition, you need to make a fuss about other aspects.

When he lived on the other side of the Pacific, Ronan watched a lot of Premier League games, and although he was not a die-hard fan, he also knew a little about the famous clubs in the Premier League, and even knew the words of many famous coaches.

For example, football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death.

For example, the biggest achievement of my life was that TMD dragged Liverpool off the championship.

Ronan clearly remembers that the Premier League later opened its doors to the Abu Dhabi consortium, which used huge sums of money to create a golden dollar team and dominate the Premier League one after another.

This is in line with the saying, the rich may not be able to win the championship, but the team that wins the championship must be rich.

The Abu Dhabi consortium really entered the Premier League in the next few years, probably because the aftermath of the negative impact of 911 is still there, in fact, Europe, especially Western Europe and other countries, still have certain prejudices about people or funds from the Arab world.

Ronan is also a little worried, affected by his mouth full of trains when he cooperated with Shahai Entertainment to make a movie, the Abu Dhabi consortium in order to expand its influence, Sheikh Mansour listened to his advice on culture and sports, and acted in Europe and other places early, and has already obtained the ownership of some second-rate football league clubs.

No one knows if this will have an impact.

However, Ronan has a good mentality, although the acquisition of Premier League football is for publicity needs, it is not essential, it is best to get it, and if you can't get it, it's not a big deal.

Of course, on the side of Will Smith and Tom Cruise, Ronan also had to say hello in advance.

Ronan then said to Connie, "You coordinate with Will and Tom's assistant to determine their schedule, preferably at the end of May and early June, to ensure that they appear in London." ”

Connie replied, "I'll do it." ”

Ronan hung up the phone to Will Smith and Tom Cruise respectively, and the two responded in one bite.

To be the owners of one of the most successful football clubs today, Will Smith and Tom Cruise are also very interested.

The identity and huge popularity of the two Hollywood superstars can also bring certain help to the acquisition.

Not long after Connie left, she walked in again and said, "Marvel's Arthur Malcolm is here. ”

Ronan said, "Bring him here, remember to close the door." ”

Connie quickly led Arthur Malcolm into Ronan's office door, and when she left, she deliberately closed the office door.

After Arthur Malcolm sat down, he looked at Ronan's side, his mood was a little complicated, the last time he came over, the two sides were still collaborators, and now the person opposite has become his new boss.

The change between the roles was so fast, so fast that he was a little uncomfortable.

But Avi Arad called him personally, and the deal will be signed this afternoon, and tomorrow's press conference will be just a formality.

So, after receiving a call from the special assistant to the president of Relativity Entertainment, Arthur Malcolm immediately rushed over after asking Avi Aradd.

He hasn't thought about leaving Marvel for the time being, and facing a new boss is inevitable.

Ronan smiled, "Hello, Arthur, we meet again. ”

Arthur Malcolm squeezed out a smile: "Hello, Mr. Anderson, I am very honored to see you again. ”

Ronan said: "We will all be colleagues in the future, so we don't need to be so polite." ”

Of course, Arthur Malcolm will only listen to this kind of words, as an employee who does not respect the boss, that is disrespecting his own salary.

"You've been in Los Angeles for a while. Ronan asked, "Is the work going well?"

Arthur Malcolm was also afraid to say anything about the new boss who knew Hollywood, and tried to tell the truth: "Communication with Twentieth Century Fox is very difficult. ”

It was already going very badly, and after the news of Marvel Comics' acquisition came, Arthur Malcolm simply paused to observe the dynamics of the new company.

For him, it is not good to be quiet at this time.

Ronan asked, "Twentieth Century Fox won't let up on the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises?"

"Yes. Arthur Malcolm hurriedly said: "Twentieth Century Fox will not back down at all, because of the change of ownership of the company, we have no other way for the time being. ”

Ronan nodded slowly: "I see." ”

Arthur Malcolm couldn't figure out what Ronan meant, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Anderson, what are you going to do with Twentieth Century Fox about the X-Men series and the Fantastic Four?

"Stop?" Ronan shook his head slowly but firmly, "Why stop?"

He also didn't need Arthur Malcolm to take a stand, and continued: "Arthur, at this stage, you continue to deal with the copyright dispute with Twentieth Century Fox, the copyright of the two series "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", and I ask you to get the most out of Marvel as much as possible. ”

Arthur Malcolm understood exactly what Ronan meant, and that he was going to continue to scare Twentieth Century Fox.

Ronan did not hesitate at all, the interests that should be fought for must be fought for, and the interests that should not be fought for must be fought for: "The bottom line of the contract of "Fantastic Four" should be on par with the copyright income of the "X-Men" series at worst, if Twentieth Century Fox refuses to retreat, I will communicate with Avi and let "Fantastic Four" die as a villain in the comics. ”

Twentieth Century Fox doesn't have the copyright of comics and other things, and if they really want to do this, they can only watch.

Without the bonus of movie effects, the benefits of pure comics are very limited, and if Marvel can't benefit from the movie adaptation, then let the comics collapse temporarily.
