With the copyright of the script in hand, "Juno", a low-to-medium investment project, was included in the preparation plan for next year by Shahai Entertainment, and several screenwriters, including Diablo Coty, began to make appropriate revisions and adjustments to the script.

Ronan also asked people to check that Alan Page has now taken over the role of Phantom Cat in Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men 3: Last Stand".

At the same time as finding Alan Pegg, that "Hard Fruit Candy" also appeared.

However, the distribution rights of the film have been sold by the producer to Traction Media Pictures at one time.

Ronan had heard of the company for the first time, the lowest level of the small distribution company in the industry.

Now that the rights were sold, Ronan gave it up.

There is good news from Robert Lee's side, and there is an eyebrow about the rights to "House of Cards".

Due to the vague information given by Ronan, Robert Lee's legal and copyright departments searched overseas and sent more than a dozen books on the country's high-level political ecology to Ronan.

Among them, there is a political film published in the 80s, called "House of Cards".

Ronan briefly flipped through this book, and there were many differences from the content of the TV series in his memory, but he could faintly see similar shadows.

This is the UK, and the influence and spread are not large, most of the political themes, especially the type that reflects the political ecology of a certain country, it is difficult to get out of the country.

It was too old, and the spread was not enough, so Ronan couldn't be found in North America at all.

The British political ecology described in "House of Cards" has a certain degree of authenticity, because the original author, Michael Daubers, once served as a special adviser to No. 10 Downing Street and a staff member to Margaret Thatcher, and even sat in the position of deputy chairman of the Conservative Party for a time.

Like most politicians, Michael Daubers began publishing books after he retired, and then he had this "House of Cards."

Robert Lee has already made initial contact with Michael Dawbbs, and the more troublesome thing is that Michael Daubs sold the rights to the film and television adaptation back in 1990.

At present, the adaptation copyright is in the hands of the BBC, and the BBC also adapted the TV series back then, but the British drama has been silent in the long history of film and television.

It is much more difficult to buy the rights from the BBC.

Robert Lee has personally rushed to London to negotiate with the BBC, and it is best to get the copyright, and if he can't get it, Ronan will no longer insist on it.

Now that I have found the copyright and understood the content, I really can't create a script for the content that I avoided.

But this is second-hand preparation.

After all, for many movies or dramas, without the original book as a main reference, the content often collapses.

In the American drama market, there are also influential political dramas, such as Warner Bros. TV's "The White House", which also won the Emmy Award for Best TV Series.

Of course, unlike the romanticism of The White House, House of Cards is a different style entirely.

This political drama is cold and depressing, and it is completely critical realism.

In fact, from another point of view, this can also be regarded as a White House version of Zhen Huan's biography.

More double-faced, treacherous, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and joining forces are happening at any time, and the tense political lobbying scenes can also satisfy the audience's psychological curiosity that politics is dirty.

At the same time, another piece of good news came from England to Ronan's side.

In the first round of the new Premier League season, Manchester United beat Chelsea by one goal away in a key battle.

"Will and I watched the game live. ”

In the villa of Future World Manor, Tom Cruise picked up a cocktail from the bar, took a sip, gave a thumbs up to Will Smith, who was bartending, and continued: "We were bombarded by Chelsea all the time, Chelsea's defense was so good, Manchester United have been scoreless. ”

Ronan also took a sip of his cocktail, which was sweet and sour: "Defending is the skill of the new Chelsea manager. ”

Will Smith continued: 'Chelsea's counter-attack was very sharp and thankfully we had a good goalkeeper. ”

Tom Cruise asked curiously, "I heard that you bought that Peter Cech? ”

Will Smith also praised: "It's only £8 million, great value. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "The goalkeeper is cheap. ”

Tom Cruise took a sip of what little cocktail he had left, and chimed in: "Well, defensive players have always been cheaper than offensive players. ”

Although I didn't watch the live stream, listening to Tom Cruise and Will Smith's description, Peter Cech has performed very well, and it seems that Manchester United's most worrying goalkeeper link in recent seasons will become an advantage in the future.

If someone dares to kick the Manchester United goalkeeper in the head, not to mention what will happen to Ronan and Manchester United, Ferguson alone will be enough for the other side.

It has to be said that the influence of the club, the deterrence of the head coach, etc., are all important parts of the team's strength.

Professional football is no longer a sport that relies solely on competition on the pitch.

To be more precise, as various sports become professionalized and commercialized, they are increasingly influenced by off-field factors.

Among other things, doping can only be described as rampant in professional sports, especially in athletics and swimming pools.

For example, if the U.S. track and field team and swimming team are all banned, it is estimated that few of them are unjust.

This is a common phenomenon all over the world.

Tom Cruise said: "The few new signings we bought were all good. The Robben broke through very sharply, Alonso's ball was also good, and in the second half of the second half, it was Alonso's long pass that found substitute Drogba, Drogba completed the header and Rooney volleyed home from 30 yards out. ”

Will Smith has also been learning about football lately: "It was a beautiful goal, even a layman like me couldn't help but applaud. ”

Ronan nodded: "That Rooney is indeed very good. ”

How do you say that sentence, the family has Lu Xiaopang, blessed and healthy.

Will Smith then said: "It's the Ronaldo on the left who is a little bit bad and just knows how to dribble with his head down. ”

Tom Cruise agreed: "Huri is fancy, lacks a sense of teamwork, it might as well be sold next year." ”

Will Smith mixed his cocktail, poured a glass for each of the three, dragged a stool over a stool, and sat down at the bar: "Manchester United's signings in previous years have not been very good. ”

Ronan took a light sip of the cocktail, spicy with a hint of acidity, and looked at Will Smith: "This wine is a bit rushed." ”

Will Smith smiled and said, "I just learned it, and maybe it doesn't make it very well." ”

Ronan put down his glass and continued the topic just now: "Who do you think has a higher future ceiling, Rooney or that Ronaldo?"

"Rooney!"

"Rooney. ”

Tom Cruise and Will Smith are on the same page.

In fact, judging from the current situation, Rooney's talent and performance seem to be above Cristiano Ronaldo, and fans and the media are generally more optimistic about Rooney.

Even, after Rooney's first official game at Manchester United, the British media can't wait to call Rooney the future leader of Manchester United, another Cantona after Keane.

Ronan did not refute, but said: "I heard Ferguson mention one thing, Cristiano Ronaldo's first season at Manchester United, he used his salary to hire a personal fitness trainer and nutritionist with a high salary. ”

He smiled: "Perhaps, this Portuguese will change and bring us more surprises." ”

Manchester United Club is in the hands of Ronan, and naturally it will not sell its star because of the coveted high transfer fee, but the attraction of the two teams in the Spanish Super League to Spanish and Portuguese players really cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, today's Manchester United team will no longer be Manchester United in the hands of the Glazer family.

The three of them chatted about football, and the conversation turned back to Hollywood and movies.

"It's been so long since the filming of the "War of the Worlds" you starred in. Ronan asked curiously, "When will it be released?" ”

Tom Cruise is also a little helpless: "It will not be until next year at the earliest, Spielberg is waiting for DreamWorks to really unify the distribution channels, and then release "War of the Worlds" independently. ”

Will Smith chimed in: "DreamWorks also has global distribution capabilities, and Hollywood competition will be more fierce in the future." ”

Tom Cruise asked with concern, "Ronan, I heard that you guys and Twentieth Century Fox haven't had a good time lately?"

Before Ronan could answer, Will Smith said: "He acquired Marvel, and in the newly reorganized "Fantastic Four" comics published by Marvel Entertainment, the Fantastic Four not only blackened and attacked New York, but also did a lot of disgusting things, such as the invisible woman, who cheated in the latest issue, and the object of the derailment is still the stone man." ”

Tom Cruisemo rubbed his chin and said, "Marvel's screenwriters have big brains, and the stone man can't seem to return to his normal human form......, right?

Ronan shrugged, "Who knows, maybe the Invisible Girl likes this tone." ”

Will Smith's mind was opened: "What would be the situation when you say that Thunderbolt is in the form of a flame and a woman?"

"That's a good idea. Ronan slapped the bar: "Will, I will ask the screenwriter of Marvel to contact you in a back, and become the thunderbolt of the villain, which is strong in the state of flames, and it is estimated that this can cause greater indignation." ”

Tom Cruise was momentarily speechless at these two unreliable guys.

"Are the Fantastic Four really going to die as villains?" asked Tom Cruise, "to fall victim to a dispute?"

Ronan said slowly but firmly: "Twentieth Century Fox refuses to back down, no matter what new plots and new characters are in the Fantastic Four comics published by Marvel, Twentieth Century Fox automatically gets the adaptation rights, and does not have to pay Marvel another dollar, in this case, it is better to let them die." ”
