In just ten minutes, Daniel Mailik's impression of Ronan has changed dramatically: this man is a profiteer at all!

Thinking of the various attacks I have endured recently, I suddenly feel an inexplicable fear.

"Mr. Anderson. Daniel Mailik asked, "You arranged the media events?"

Ronan looked at Daniel Mailik with strange eyes and said, "When we first negotiated, there was a provision for media activities, and I was fulfilling the contract. ”

Daniel Millik thought about the terms of the contract, and his fear grew: Could it be that when he bought the film, Ronan Anderson planned everything now?

Ronan said again: "My company and I respect the spirit of the contract, and every clause of the contract is fulfilled conscientiously. ”

Daniel Mailik wanted to turn around the situation, saying: "I'm going to call a press conference, I'm going to expose everything!"

Ronan smiled, but didn't answer.

Daniel Mailik can only say this, and he has argued in front of the media more than once in the past few days, but he has not been able to change the direction of public opinion at all.

This black cauldron was thrown down, and then it was detained on the head by the media and fans.

It's all the talk show that admits in front of the media that the whole plan comes from itself.

"That's all for today. Ronan didn't want to get entangled with Daniel Mailik, so he politely said, "I have a meeting to do next." ”

Daniel Malik was not dead yet, he forced himself to stabilize his mind and said: "I have a new film project, originally I wanted to cooperate with your company, but Mr. Anderson's attitude made me ......"

Ronan directly raised his hand to interrupt him: "You can go to other partners." ”

"I ......" Daniel Malik didn't know what to say.

I just had a movie that grossed over 100 million in North America, and you just rejected it? Isn't Hollywood chasing success?

Ronan remembered something, pulled open the drawer and took out a videotape, and pushed it to Daniel McLick: "This is your videotape, take it back." ”

Daniel Millick looked down at the tape and then up at Ronan, making sure Ronan really didn't have any interest in what he had to say.

Picking up the tape, Daniel Mailik gave Ronan a deep look: "Someone in Hollywood will work with me!"

Ronan smiled: "I wish you success in your new film." ”

Looking at the sincere smile, Daniel Malik felt a sense of powerlessness and turned and walked out of the office.

Ronan pinched his chin: It seems that I look like a villain, Daniel Malik is the actor waiting for the counterattack, but it's a pity that he hasn't seen the network on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, otherwise it would be more appropriate to shout a few words in the east of the river and the west of the river in the thirty years.

It's not appropriate to bully young people and be poor, after all, they are all in their thirties.

Ronan certainly knew that with the success of Blair the Witch, Daniel Malik would easily find a company to work with.

Even, Daniel Malik doesn't have to look for it, and a film company will take the initiative to come to the door.

Chasing success is a rule that Hollywood has that will never change.

Ronan didn't think about Daniel Millik anymore, the two sides will not cooperate in the future, he took the work at hand seriously, and then went to Warner Studios to go around, "Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent" The two crews have now completed filming and moved to the post-production stage.

During this time, Ronan received a long-distance call from Europe, and Carmen Cayce would come to Los Angeles some time to attend one of Dior's events in Los Angeles and make an appointment to meet him.

Just this year, Carmen Cayce won the endorsement of Dior's new True Me fragrance collection, becoming the first spokesperson of this fragrance.

Ronan also knows this fragrance, because Charlize Theron has endorsed this fragrance for more than ten years in his previous life, and every advertising South African diamond is a gorgeous and beautiful mess.

can get Dior's endorsement, Carmen Kayes has undoubtedly stepped into the ranks of supermodels.

Just as actors and stars are two very different beings, models and supermodels are also very different.

After several meetings in Los Angeles last year, Carmen Cayce made a very good impression on Ronan, but as a traditional model, Carmen Cays's career center is undoubtedly in Europe.

Ronan didn't think much about this, and he didn't put much of his mind on it at this stage.

After the two crews went around, Ronan approached George and asked him to contact Robert Ludlun again to see if he could solve the copyright issues of the two books "Bourne's Hegemony" and "Bourne's Ultimatum".

Robert Ludrun has been in poor health and refuses to talk about copyright with people, which is the most troublesome problem.

Ronan is not afraid that they will offer high prices, but if he refuses to talk about it, it will be difficult.

"Blair the Witch" was a great success, and when the box office share arrives, the funds in hand will be much more abundant, and the film and television rights of those two books will definitely be won as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will be more costly to wait for "Bourne's Identity" to be released before talking about it.

George Clint has been in contact with Robert Ludlen's lawyer and publisher, perhaps because he is old and stubborn, Robert Ludlun simply ignores the copyright information from the outside world.

If you can't do it, you have to wait for Robert Ludlun to hang up and talk to his copyright entrusting party.

…………

Daniel Mailik returned to the hotel, dealt with the inquiries of several people in the crew, and when he entered the room, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and his film sold so much money, but he could not afford to share it.

The phone rang suddenly, and after he answered it, he said a few words, and his tired eyes suddenly glowed.

The caller was a DreamWorks executive who wanted to talk to him.

Daniel Malick did not hesitate, made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby, deliberately changed into a suit, and straightened his hair, and then went to the appointment.

In the lobby of the hotel, he met Susan Arnold, a producer at DreamWorks.

"Hello, Director Mailik. Susan Arnold shakes hands with Daniel Mailik: "Congratulations on the big hit. ”

Hearing this, Daniel Mailik's face sank, and he quickly returned to normal and said, "Thank you." ”

After Susan Arnold politely exchanged a few words, she quickly turned to the topic: ""Blair the Witch" was a big hit and ended successfully, I wonder if director Mailik has any new shooting plans?"

Daniel Malik immediately heard that DreamWorks was interested in him!

"I'm going to make another horror film. Although Daniel Mailrick was frustrated on Ronan's side, the success of "Blair the Witch" gave him a lot of confidence: "There is already a framework for the script. ”

Films of the same genre are easier to replicate, and Susan Arnold knows this well and asks, "Do you have a collaborator? If not, DreamWorks can help." ”

Daniel Malick said: "I don't have a partner. ”

Susan Arnold was a little strange: "Embassy Pictures didn't continue to work with you?"

Most studios tend to maintain long-term partnerships with successful directors, and it would take a bit of effort to dig into the wall with Daniel McLick who would continue to work with Embassy Pictures.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

"I don't want to work with them anymore. Daniel Mailik doesn't hide it either: "Ronan Anderson, the head of Embassy Pictures, is too overbearing. ”

The success of "Blair the Witch" has brought Daniel Malik into the eyes of many Hollywood companies, and no one really pays attention to the negative reports in the media, just like those successful directors, and DreamWorks to continue to expand the market is the first to extend an olive branch.

Susan Arnold, who is in charge of the horror thriller business at DreamWorks, has just finished Ghost Invasion and is immediately ready to work on a new project.

At present, she has roughly two plans, one is to take a fancy to a Japanese horror film and is ready to win the rights to remake it, and the other is Daniel Mailik, the director of "Blair the Witch".

Because "Ghost Invasion" and "Blair the Witch" had a head-to-head battle in the market, Susan Arnold took a closer look at "Blair the Witch", and the new filming method and promotional marketing methods are extraordinary, and the same mode of operation can completely replicate the success of "Blair the Witch".

Susan Arnold heard that Daniel Mailik was at odds with Embassy Pictures, and to confirm this, asked, "May I take the liberty of asking, what is the ......relationship between you and Embassy Pictures?"

DreamWorks' reputation is bluffing, at least much more powerful than Ronan's company.

Daniel Mailik wanted to grab the other party's outstretched hand, and he also needed to find someone to talk to if he was bored, so he simply said: ""Blair the Witch" sold more than $100 million at the box office, and Ronan Anderson only gave me $80,000 in rights and $50,000 in box office bonuses, but he only enjoyed the rest of the income!"

Susan Arnold understood as soon as she heard it, and this was a typical uneven distribution of spoils.

Can't let this director go back and work with Embassy Pictures again, Susan Arnold immediately had an idea, saying: "Find a professional lawyer to sue Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures, drag the lawsuit down, as long as it can drag on for a while, most Hollywood companies will choose to settle out of court." ”

"Good way. Daniel Malik seems to have found the backbone: "Can you introduce me to a professional lawyer?"

Susan Arnold smiled nicely: "No problem, DreamWorks will do its best to help partners." ”

Daniel Merrick nodded heavily, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Susan Arnold quietly said the preconditions: "Director Malik, since you have a new film plan, can you complete the script as soon as possible? ”

After a slight pause, she added, "Success can make Ronan Anderson regret his stinginess!"

There was already fire in his heart, and he was suppressed by Ronan with the contract, Daniel McLick immediately said: "Two weeks! I can come up with a new script in two weeks! Believe me, this will be a more successful horror film than "Blair the Witch"!"
