The Best Entertainment Era

On the car back, Ronan flipped through Uwe Ball's script, which aroused Jessica Felton's curiosity.

Jessica Felton asked: Can I see?

Ronan handed it to her and said, The story that Uwe Ball just wrote has not yet been polished by a screenwriter.

That German director? Jessica Felton became even more curious: Hollywood... Well, there are very few directors like him in the world.

Ronan laughed: Indeed, there are very few such directors.

Jessica Felton read the script with great interest, and the more she read it, the more she found it interesting, and asked: I remember that Shahai Entertainment approved a project called Vampire Hunter Lincoln last year, and the director seems to be Uwe Bow Well, isn't this the same type.

Basically, for example, Washington's ax in the script was later in Lincoln's hands. Ronan said simply: Uwe Ball plans to shoot a magical version of the movie universe of American presidents and historical celebrities.

Jessica Felton asks: Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Ronan nodded slightly: Almost. He briefly introduced: Vampire Hunter Lincoln is the beginning, and then there is this one about Washington, and the details will depend on Uwe Ball's plan, which is generally American. founding father or other founding celebrity level.

Low-budget B-movies? Jessica Felton asked again.

Ronan told the truth: Within the cost of 10 million US dollars, Uwe Ball can shoot casually. With his current appeal, it is not difficult to make a profit, but no matter how high the investment is, it is difficult to say, and the greater possibility is a loss.

Jessica Felton nodded slowly, read the script carefully, read it for a while, and said, Is this a fusion of Cthulhu's worldview and setting?

Ronan said: Uwe Ball plans to put the entire series in the world of Cthulhu, telling the founding fathers of the United States who established this country from a wild and terrifying world.

However, the story of Uwe Ball is not the same as what Ronan thought when he first talked about Washington the Ax of Falling Sakura.

Influenced by the Internet, Ronan initially considered a version of the sky bombing, so that when Uwe Ball couldn't open his mind, he had a backup plan.

Roughly, Virginia is a wild place. Human beings who came across the ocean to colonize this place can only survive in the cracks of various horrors and horrors, and there is a terrorist ruler in Virginia, which is a mutated ancient cherry tree. , it is the most terrible monster in Virginia.

Young Washington, the son of a plantation owner in an ordinary human settlement, was an exception since he was a child, and determined to change the world. At the age of twelve, he forged a super battle axe, which grew up in the expectation of countless people. Virginia brought hope, and since then she has been nicknamed the Falling Cherry Axe, and finally embarked on the road of contending for world hegemony.

Falling Cherry Ax Washington was also a common stalk about foreign countries on the Internet.

There are many similar stems.

For example, many people are always dissatisfied with the life in front of them, and feel that the life outside is particularly beautiful.

In the eyes of some people, it can be roughly summed up like this.

The domineering small passport of the United States, the sewer of conscience in Germany; the universal medical care in Somalia, a free house in Russia; the Ganges in India has curative effects, and the summer camp in the island country is croaking; Thatcher, the tip of the tongue, is wonderful in Korea, and the British gentleman is good; welcome Democracy in Iraq, less free war in Afghanistan; everyone in Ukraine has votes, and the quality of life in Bhutan is high...

Of course, foreign monks can chant scriptures, and the moon overseas is particularly round, which is also a common situation in the world.

Uwe Ball independently completed the script,

Although the script needs other screenwriters to add polish, Ronan also considers the director to give priority to using his own story.

In Hollywood, Cthulhu-like movies are very rare and belong to an absolute small category of movie types.

But the story of Cthulhuga, the founding father of the United States, should arouse the interest and attention of some people.

After reading the script, Jessica Felton returned it to Ronan and asked, Did you go to Lindsay's crew today? Did her side go well?

Successful. Ronan put away the script and said, The director and heroine have been finalized.

Jessica Felton said: Gal Gadot? It really is her. The heroine is good. She has the experience of serving in the army. It is difficult to find such an actor in Hollywood. She is very suitable for Katniss.

Ronan said casually: You know, Jesse? When I saw her today, I suddenly thought of Wonder Woman. If we can get the movie copyright of Wonder Woman from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, maybe let her play the role of Wonder Woman. The heroine is also good.

Isn't it appropriate? Jessica Felton was the first reaction: Wonder Woman is...

She glanced at her breasts and said, Can you get the film copyright of Wonder Woman?

Ronan said directly: No, Warner Bros. and DC Comics will not back down on Wonder Woman.

Negotiations between the two parties are still see-sawing. The copyright of the remake of The Clown and A Star Is Born has already been agreed, and the copyright of Suicide Squad, including Harley Quinn, is not a problem.

Relativity Entertainment gave up the film and television adaptation copyright of Wonder Woman and turned to Warner Bros. to discuss compensation other than these copyrights.

After all, Ronan is the producer of the new Batman series of films, and many news cannot be hidden from him. After The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. plans to continue shooting sequels to achieve a seamless connection with the Justice League series.

The bigger the future plans of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, the stronger the capital of Relativity Entertainment's negotiations.

After returning to the manor and having dinner together, Ronan and Jessica Felton tacitly went back to the master bedroom on the third floor, what about Washington, what about Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn, It doesn't matter anymore.

The next day, Ronan got up early for a morning run. When he came back, he saw Jessica Felton sitting in front of the makeup mirror in a daze.

Ronan went over and pressed her shoulder from behind: What's wrong?

Jessica Felton was staring at herself in the mirror for a while before saying, Ronan, do you think I have changed?

Ronan took a step back and looked carefully through the mirror: Your breasts seem to be smaller than before? Is this my illusion?

Jessica Felton had the urge to roll her eyes, pointed to the corner of her eyes and said, Did you see it? You can see the crow's feet.

Ronan moved forward again, looked carefully for a while, and then said: Where is it? I can't see it.

This insignificant crow's feet is a normal natural law of human beings.

Jessica Felton sighed softly: It means I'm getting old too.

Even a career-oriented woman like Jessica Felton still cares about her appearance.

Ronan remembered very clearly that when he first met Jessica Felton, no matter what kind of residence he lived in, Jessica Felton was always glamorous in front of people.

Probably only women themselves can see these wrinkles that Ronan thinks can be regarded as non-existent.

Jessica Felton said, with rare seriousness: Have we been a little too rainy lately?

No, you think too much. Ronan hugged her from behind and said with relief: This is a normal change of people. We have been in Hollywood for so many years, don't we still know that the goddess of immortality never existed, the so-called immortality It's just the result of cosmetics and knives.

Jessica Felton thought of those zombie faces and said: It's horrible to have a knife in the face.

Ronan smiled and said in relief: Wrinkles are not a gift of time? With your natural beauty, you can also stand the test of any wrinkles. I think that the faint sense of vicissitudes brought about by age makes you more beautiful. , This is also the maturity and charm condensed over the years.

Jessica Felton turned around and leaned on Ronan: You are so good at talking.

Ronan said seriously: Jessie, do you know what is the most romantic thing in my heart?

Jessica Felton was cooperative, asking, What?

Ronan said affectionately: We will grow old together.

Hearing this, Jessica Felton hugged Ronan tightly, obviously affected by the atmosphere: I... Ronan, I'm emotional, it's okay if we're late, right?

Ronan hugged her up directly: Honey, let's skip work today.

In the first week of June, after more than a month of back-and-forth negotiations, with the release date of The Dark Knight approaching step by step and the film's popularity rising, Warner Bros. agreed to invest in the new Batman series of films. Matters such as income, finally reached an agreement with Relativity Entertainment.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Relativity Entertainment voluntarily waived all investment and revenue sharing rights for subsequent sequels of the new Batman movie, including The Dark Knight Rises.

The two Batman movies that participated in the investment, the box office of Beginning of War and all peripheral revenue will be shared by the end of this year.

The box office of The Dark Knight is shared with all peripherals until the end of 2008.

Of course, the premise of the latter is that Warner Bros. must follow the established distribution strategy and push The Dark Knight into the global film market on schedule.

Subsequent Batman sequel films have nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.

In order to reach this agreement and recover all the rights and interests of the Batman movie, Warner Bros. also paid a high price to Relativity Entertainment.

The first is all the remake copyrights of the two old films The Clown and A Star Is Born, and then DC Comics' Suicide Squad including Harley Quinn and the film and television adaptation rights of surrounding characters.

This certainly doesn't involve famous characters like Batman and the Joker.

As Wonder Woman, one of the three giants of justice, there is no certainty about the copyright.

In the end, Relativity Entertainment won another $20 million in cash compensation from Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

With the huge influence and predictable revenue of the new Batman series, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. can't say who wins and who loses, they can only say that they get what they want.

Starting from the first weekend in June, Embassy Pictures will promote the release of two films this month, namely Cars and Teddy Bear.
