Chapter 594: I Took It

Relativity Entertainment, Ronan sent off the Nolans who had come all the way, returned to the office, sat on a chair, picked up a teacup and drank it slowly.

The six major companies really have a tacit understanding.

Twentieth Century Fox approached Christopher Nolan really just to value him as a director?

No kidding, Nolan is not a god after "The Dark Knight", at best he is only a second-tier director, and even "Batman: Time to War", which really brought him a certain influence, has not yet been released.

Definitely for relativistic entertainment, and it can only be for relativistic entertainment.

Two days ago, Garcia Rodriguez just came to the news that Mel Gibson is working with Walt Disney on "Apocalypse", since the release of "The Passion of the Christ", in addition to Stallone and Robert Downey Jr. and other hardcore old friends, almost all of the people around Mel Gibson are related to Disney.

Having said that, Disney didn't mean to keep it secret, it just treated it as a trivial matter.

They just need to push it behind the scenes without much effort, and Embassy Pictures needs to spare time and energy to go to court with Mel Gibson.

First Paramount Pictures, then Walt Disney, and now Twentieth Century Fox.

DreamWorks' shield is no longer working, and Hollywood's top forces will no longer ignore Relativistic Entertainment.

These tricks that conform to the rules of the game don't seem to be particularly powerful, but DreamWorks' experience tells Ronan that the second-tier leaders who were once close to the Big Six in Hollywood were finally reduced to a downstream film supplier who could only provide content production for the Big Six in the midst of the continuous small troubles of the Big Six.

Hollywood competition is everywhere, and there is a lot of competition between the Big Six, but they don't target a certain film company so tacitly.

Even though DreamWorks, which has obtained the distribution channel, is sharing the firepower for Relativity Entertainment, Relativity Entertainment is still very passive.

Frankly speaking, Ronan also wants to take the initiative and defeat the six major companies to solve the problem once and for all.

But this is obviously impossible, Relativity Entertainment does not have this kind of strength now, and once it starts a full-scale war with a company that is stronger than itself, the momentum of rapid development will inevitably stop.

I'm afraid that the six major companies continue to provoke Relativity Entertainment, but they inevitably did not let him, a young man, take the initiative to attack impulsively, so as to expose his flaws, so that he can defeat Relativity Entertainment in one fell swoop.

At present, the theory of relativity is still based on development, and the experience of a certain big country has fully proved the accuracy of this path.

Ronan knows very well that he has to wait, wait for a really good opportunity, and then cripple one of the six majors, fully prove the strength of Relativity Entertainment, so that others will not dare to easily make these messy things in the future.

Now of course, it is mainly defensive, but pure defense is not enough, and it is necessary to make appropriate counterattacks.

It is also necessary to create some trouble for those companies that are constantly looking for relativity entertainment, so that they do not put all their trouble-making energy on relativity entertainment.

Ronan pressed the intercom and called Connie in.

"What's going on with Apple and Steve Jobs lately. Ronan is now also a minority shareholder in Apple: "Do you have any feedback on the situation?"

Connie thinks back and says, "Steve Jobs just held a press conference last month to announce that Apple would be launching a new home computer, the iMac G5. ”

Ronan didn't know which machine this model was referring to, and guessed that it might be an all-in-one machine.

"Tell San Francisco. Ronan directly ordered: "Always pay attention to the dynamics of Apple, Steve Jobs and Pixar Studios, and adjust the time when relevant reports are summarized to your side, from once a week to once a day." ”

Connie immediately jotted it down, "Okay. ”

Ronan added: "I asked you to follow James Cameron's news, where is he now?"

"The report from two days ago showed that director James Cameron has not returned. Connie recalled, "He also made documentaries in the North Atlantic. ”

"James Cameron let me know as soon as he got back to Los Angeles," Ronan said. No, you contact James Cameron personally and say that I am very interested in the 3D technology that he is developing and experimenting, and if the conditions on his side allow, I want to see the new 3D technology in action. ”

Connie nodded: "Okay, I'll go and contact Director Cameron's assistant." ”

Ronan waved his hand, and before Connie left, he remembered one more thing: "Is Robert in the company? ”

Connie left the office and went to make the phone call herself.

Two minutes later, Robert Lee hurried into Ronan's office.

"Who currently owns the rights to Deadpool?" Ronan asked directly.

Robert Lee thought for a moment and said: "Originally, Artisan Pictures asked for the rights to Deadpool, but then Marvel, together with the X-Men, sold it to Twentieth Century Fox, and Fox should have no adaptation plans for the time being. ”

Ronan slowly tapped on the armrest of the chair: "Think of a way to see if you can take the copyright of Deadpool." Also, you often contact Avi Aradd, go to New York, drum up the power to find trouble with Twentieth Century Fox, whether it is revenue sharing, or get the rights, in short, you can't make Twentieth Century Fox easy, you have to find something to do for Twentieth Century Fox. ”

Robert Lee asked, "Twentieth Century Fox is in trouble with us?"

"Want to dig up our project. Ronan said directly: "You do your best." ”

Robert Lee immediately said, "I try to figure it out as much as I can." ”

"If Marvel Comics can match up with Twentieth Century Fox, we might have a chance, and I'll have Bob put together a team," Ronan said. ”

Robert Lee immediately thought that this was not just about getting trouble with Twentieth Century Fox, Ronan was planning a big operation?

There was only one person left in the office, and Ronan thought about it, what other high-profit movies will be in the future of Twentieth Century Fox besides the "Avatar" and "X-Men" series?

After Robert Lee left, Ronan carefully recalled that "Alien", "Predator", "Wolverine", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Fantastic Four" don't need to think about it, these are the ace IPs of Twentieth Century Fox, and it is no less difficult to buy the copyright than to directly acquire Twentieth Century Fox itself.

It seems that the potatoes on Mars are also planted by Fox in the twentieth century, so that Shahai Entertainment can speed up the progress and plant the potatoes on Mars first.

Ronan then greeted George Clint and asked him to pay more attention to the dynamics of Shahai Entertainment's film projects, most of Shahai Entertainment's projects are purchased by the company, and then hired an external director to direct and shoot, but there is no need to worry too much about the project being poached.

If other film projects were to be poached, Twentieth Century Fox wouldn't have set its sights on Christopher Nolan, a newly established director.

As for the sequel film project, don't worry, as long as Relativity Entertainment doesn't want to sell the rights, other companies simply can't do it.

Like Ang Lee, there is no such trouble as Christopher, because of the failure of "The Incredible Hulk", not only did no one try to poach him, but he had to try to convince other actors to star in his new movie.

Coupled with the subject matter of the movie, the difficulty is even greater.

In the office on the tenth floor of the Relativity Building, Jack Jaylen Hill looked around curiously, as if to determine if this was the office of Ang Lee and Brokeback Mountain.

"Drink something, Jack?" Ang asked politely, "Coffee or black tea?"

Jack Jaylen Hill hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, thank you." ”

As the host, Ang Lee still poured him a glass of water, sat on the sofa chair next to him, and asked, "Jack, how did you think about the role of Trist?"

Jack Jalen Hill was rather hesitant and hesitant: "Frankly, the script story is great, but the characters are ......" He shook his head: "My family is all against me being in this film. ”

Ang Lee asked directly, "Because this is a gay character?"

Jack Gyllenshill smiled but didn't answer, not just because of the gay character, but also because the director was Ang Lee.

Everyone knows that Ang Lee has just messed up a super big production, and the prospects for the new film project are worrying......

What's more, it's still such a sensitive subject.

Ang Lee, who should be said, had spoken to Jack Jaylon Hill last time, and knew that it was useless to continue to say this, so he could only come up with a killer idea: "Jack, "Brokeback Mountain" is a film project of Shahai Entertainment. ”

"I know. Jack Jaylen Hill pretended to be relaxed: "You said it last time. ”

Ang Lee smiled: "At first, it was not my project, but after Shahai Entertainment initiated it, it hired me as a director. ”

Jack Jaylen Hill was a little surprised, and he always thought that this was a collaboration between Ang Lee and Shahai Entertainment, and then the two hairs.

The films initiated and produced by Shahai Entertainment in recent years have a scary success rate......

Ang Lee no longer went around in circles: "The copyright of "Brokeback Mountain" was bought by Mr. Ronan Anderson himself, and the initiator of the project is also Mr. Ronan Anderson, and I also accepted the invitation of Mr. Ronan Anderson to be the director, and Mr. Ronan Anderson also personally served as the producer of this project. ”

Jack Jalen Hill's eyes widened in surprise, who is Ronan Anderson, how many actors in Hollywood don't know now? He seemed a little unconvinced, and confirmed: "Director Li, are you talking about Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment Group?"

Ang Lee crossed his hands: "It seems that Relativity Entertainment Group does not have a second Ronan Anderson." He added: "This is the Relativity Building, and in a few months it will be the headquarters of Relativity Entertainment, and you can verify that at any time." ”

Confirming that there was nothing wrong, Jack Jaylenhill breathed a little heavily, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no." A smile bloomed on his young face: "Director Li, I took this role!"

"Your family ......" Ang Lee wanted to solve all the troubles at once.

Jack Gyllenshill said decisively: "I'm in charge of convincing them!"
