The Best Entertainment Era

Unknowingly, 2008 has come to an end, and the sunshine of 2009 has filled the world. America is still two worlds, one side is full of mourning, and the other side is a luxurious life.

But compared with previous years, the number of people who can enter the latter has decreased sharply, and too many of the latter have fallen into the ranks of the former.

Many people cannot adapt to this gap and choose to use Leap of Faith.

But these have little to do with Relativity Entertainment. In 2008, Relativity Entertainment developed rapidly. Whether it is movies, drama series, or related peripheral industrial chains, all of them have created new highs since the establishment of the group company.

Among them, Avatar with a global box office of 2.8 billion US dollars appeared.

Although Avatar is still being screened in the international market, it has created a record that is difficult for other films to break in a short period of time.

In addition, Relativity Entertainment also has two live-action films, Alice in Wonderland and Beauty and the Beast, with a global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars.

The latter is still showing hotly in the North American and international film markets, and $1 billion is far from the end of the box office.

As for anything over $500 million at the box office, that's too much.

The proportion of movie box office in Relativity Entertainment's revenue has been decreasing, and has fallen below 15%.

In terms of episodes, except for Grey's Anatomy and Peppa Pig, which continue to cooperate with ABC TV, all other episodes are handed over to the Netflix streaming platform for exclusive broadcast.

Correspondingly, most of the money burned by Netflix streaming fell into the pockets of Shahai Entertainment.

While continuing to film and produce old dramas, Shahai Entertainment is also constantly developing new ones.

Breaking Bad is very popular. It is currently a first-line drama series like House of Cards and Game of Thrones. Shahai Entertainment intends to use this drama as a basis to focus on the extremely popular characters. Develop spin-off series.

For example, the story of Coquettish Lawyer before meeting Lao Bai.

There are also some brand new items.

Shahai Entertainment bought the rights to adapt a vampire Southern Vampire, planning to adapt it into a large-scale vampire drama series, tentatively titled True Blood.

In competition with Twentieth Century Fox,

Grabbed the investment opportunity of Modern Family starring Sofia Vergara and others, and thus obtained the copyright of this series.

The two drama producers of Shahai Entertainment set their sights on the documentary and planned to shoot a documentary about ten episodes, reflecting the real life and working conditions of female artists in the San Fernando Valley.

This is not a heavy-duty drama series. The content may be large-scale, but the concept is very plain and not dirty at all. It is to describe practitioners in an industry through a relatively neutral and objective standpoint.

In addition, Sandsea Entertainment has also attracted many foreign projects and finalized several cooperations by virtue of its good reputation of emphasizing newcomers over the years.

For example, for a serious drama, Shahai Entertainment cooperated with Michael Costa, the director of Long Island Love, and plans to shoot a drama series on anti-terrorism. The project is called Homeland Security.

Shahai Entertainment also further strengthened the development of the female market. Robert King, the screenwriter and producer of Vertical Limits, submitted a project to the company. A drama series called The Good Wife featuring the so-called leading heroine won the Ronan's green light.

Preparations for this series have already begun, and it will be available on the Netflix streaming platform in the fall.

Sandsea Entertainment also rejected several projects, such as DreamWorks’ invitation to cooperate,

In view of the great success of Band of Brothers that year, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks plan to cooperate again to shoot a war-themed miniseries with World War II as the background story, but this time the battlefield is moved from Europe to the United States. islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The production cost of Band of Brothers is as high as $125 million, and the budget of this series tentatively named Battle of the Pacific is even more staggering, and the production cost will be as high as about $230 million.

Hollywood is facing a money shortage brought about by the economic crisis. DreamWorks and Tom Hanks’ companies cannot afford such a high investment. Spielberg immediately found Shahai Entertainment and Netflix Streaming Media, hoping that the two companies can be generous. Get out of your pocket and pay for most of the investment in Blood War in the Pacific.

It is not impossible to pay the bill, but DreamWorks refuses to give up the copyright. Of course, Ronan will not be taken advantage of by this kind, and directly declined the cooperation invitation of Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Wanting Shahai Entertainment and Netflix Streaming Media to pay, but also wanting to keep the copyright, how can there be such a good thing?

Inspired by Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks is also stepping up activities overseas, striving to make money overseas.

Spielberg and Tom Hanks are still very attractive for investment.

Amid a series of good news, Relativity Entertainment is still operating as planned.

Ronan keeps up with the latest news about Hollywood and 20th Century Fox.

In mid-January, there was a gossip newspaper in the UK that does not belong to News Corporation. It smelled something. In a recent weekend special issue, it claimed that someone in the British royal family might sell news about William’s injury some time ago. , or the royal family is under surveillance.

Although there is no clear evidence for these news, Ronan also knows that even Relativity Entertainment, which quietly hides behind News Corporation and secretly helps them suppress for a period of time, some events will soon be unable to suppress.

Some related incidents will inevitably erupt in the next few months, and many people will become victims.

That being the case, there is no need to suppress it any more.

Ronan left Los Angeles with great fanfare and rushed to London, England to visit Jessica Felton, who was in charge of the Fast and Furious 5 crew at Pinewood Studios.

Pinewood Studios is the largest film studio in the UK. It has 41 studios of various types, including 10 digital TV studios, parks and woodlands for outdoor shooting, and has the only underwater photography facility in the world.

The main plot of Fast and Furious 5 took place in London, England, so Pinewood Studios was chosen as the location of the crew.

Before the crew's work was over today, Jessica Felton left the studio, returned to the hotel where she was staying, changed into a formal dress, and met Ronan, who had just returned from a visit to Downing Street, downstairs. To Kensington Palace in Chelsea.

Before coming to London, Ronan proposed a visit. William and his girlfriend Kate specially hosted a banquet for Ronan and Jessica Felton in the area where they lived in Kensington Palace.

A Bentley car drove away from the front of the hotel, the driver was David, and Finch continued to sit in the passenger seat.

There are paparazzi, Finch said.

Ronan waved his hand: Don't worry about them, William and I have been in contact for many years, and it is normal to visit him.

Jessica Felton couldn't help saying: They are really crazy!

Ronan said: They are not crazy, how can we have a good chance.

Jessica Felton was speechless for a moment, so she could only ask, Are you ready to start?

Ronan nodded slightly: It's about to explode, this is the best opportunity.

Not only because of these things, but also years of secret planning and waiting.

First, the economic crisis broke out normally, which brought a series of shocks, and then 20th Century Fox has received five of the Dragon Balls he sent out, and with the addition of Australia, it can be said to be six.

Successive big productions failed, even 20th Century Fox couldn't bear the weight, the stock price fell again and again, and the market value also shrunk again and again.

Next month, Terminator 4 will be released. Twentieth Century Fox is likely to collect all seven Dragon Balls, so it is natural to summon Shenlong.

When they came to the area of ​​Kensington Palace that belonged to William, William and Kate waited at the door. When Ronan and Jessica Felton got off the car, they took a step forward and shook hands with them respectively.

Afterwards, Ronan and William walked side by side, followed by Kate and Jessica Felton, and entered Kensington Palace together.

The two parties went directly to the living room on the second floor, where there are many family photos, books, magazines, and many household items such as candles and green plants, maintaining a comfortable family atmosphere.

This is, after all, a private dinner.

When Ronan had a simple communication with William on the phone before, the two ignored Kate and Jessica Felton, who were talking and laughing, and went into the study together.

Don't worry. William believed that Ronan could understand: I just had an inspection here, and there will be no problem.

Ronan nodded: I saw the news in the newspaper two days ago, and I couldn't believe that their hands dared to stretch so long.

William's face was not very good: They have violated the rules of the game.

Although it hasn't been revealed in the newspapers yet, and he hasn't got any evidence, but there are already speculations.

Ronan said in a deep voice, Some people are too crazy.

William didn't answer Ronan's words, but instead asked, Are you concerned about this matter?

To be honest, I encountered a situation similar to yours some time ago. Ronan seemed to be suppressing his anger calmly: Some of my private calls with Jesse, as well as a few calls with company executives, were all blocked. Wiretapped.

William was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised: They are too brave...

I was also surprised at the time. Ronan briefly said: So, I specially asked someone to check it out, and the result... was shocking. My people followed the clues from Los Angeles to New York, and from New York to Washington, and then I came to London again, although what I found was amazing, but I didn't expect that they would dare to treat the royal family...

Listening to Ronan's words, William's face became more serious. People of his background naturally knew that if a super rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions really wanted to investigate, he should find out a lot of things.

You have the evidence? William asked.

Ronan nodded slightly: Part of it.

William said directly: Ronan, let's cooperate.

The dinner party started late because Ronan and William had been in the study for too long.

Ronan stayed in London for nearly a week, during which time he visited many political and business people, and then returned to North America in late January, preparing to participate in an event of the George Lucas Film Foundation.
