The Best Entertainment Era

Of these two foundations, one is completely owned by Ronan himself, called the Anderson Foundation, which is mainly engaged in financial and securities investment business, and the source of investment funds is also raised by Ronan himself.

The other is called the Pacific Film Foundation, which is a partner. For the time being, there are only two partners, Ronan and Tony Koch. The main business is investment in film production, and the source of investment funds is public fundraising.

The former Ronan can start operations as long as he completes the capital injection, while the latter has a very long way to find funds.

Scott is currently in charge of the two foundations for the time being.

In addition, two offshore foundations registered in the Cayman Islands have also entered the planning stage. Attorney Diane has already contacted international intermediaries and the registration will be completed within this year.

Ronan's personal funds began to be transferred to the Anderson Foundation, in order to wait for the bottom after the 9/11 incident.

Regarding the Pacific Film Foundation, Ronan personally talked to Tony Koch several times on the phone, and Tony Koch will help promote this film investment foundation in Germany.

Shahai Entertainment is about to get involved in Hollywood's first-tier big productions. The production cost of each film will be as high as 100 million US dollars, which also means a large amount of capital investment. Relatively speaking, entertainment has limited cash flow, and it is impossible to spend its own liquidity on In terms of film production, it is necessary to seek foreign investment.

Ronan plans to go to India after September. If there is progress in the Tokyo office of the embassy film industry, he will also go to the island country at the same time.

There is also South Korea, which can also try to raise funds there.

Hollywood movies are still quite attractive to Japanese and Korean funds. Otherwise, after Robert Iger came to power in his previous life, Disney would not have created a Pacific Tinder Film Foundation that attracted investment from island countries.

In fact, since the early 1990s, behind the budget of Hollywood film production, you can see the shadow of Japanese and Korean funds, and DreamWorks has a close relationship with South Korea's Samsung Group and the Lee family.

The two countries understand Hollywood, and many people are also investing in Hollywood, which also helps to attract investment.

As early as when Ronan asked Scott to establish the foundation, he had already asked people to collect relevant information, and he also knew the names and general conditions of some financial institutions in Japan and South Korea that had invested in Hollywood.

Only with the goal can a targeted plan be formulated.

Hollywood is taking the road of internationalization,

This includes the source of funding for filming and production.

Of course, Ronan is very clear that to absorb funds from these countries, he must act in accordance with the usual rules of the contract and Hollywood, otherwise, if the reputation is damaged, not only will there be a lot of trouble, but it will also affect the next financing.

Relativity Entertainment has passed the most difficult stage, and Ronan has no intention of doing messy things in this regard. Hollywood's inherent rules are already very beneficial to filmmakers.

At the same time, Ronan once again seriously considered whether to go to the Eastern Kingdom by the way. The Bourne Shadow has already been released there. With Hollywood's reputation and the social situation there, the Film Foundation will definitely be able to absorb people from Dongguo's funds, even hundreds of millions, are not a problem.

And he will play the money game according to the rules, so naturally there is no question of whether he will be cheated or not, and everyone will just follow the rules.

The only concern is the rampant beasts, after all, there is no reason to speak of.

If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can’t do it, you can do it; if you say you can’t, you just can’t do it, no matter what.

Let's talk about the situation at that time.

Ronan can only think this way, if he can get enough funds from other places, there is no need to go to Dongguo, and if something happens, it will affect the future review of the big scissors.

There is no clear standard for the big scissors. If you say you are not good at that time, you will not know where the problem is after self-examination.

In contrast, island countries and South Korea are still preferred.

The island country is rich in artists. Who are the famous artists in this era? It seems that the time is too far away, I don't remember...

In Korea, the entertainment industry over there is more interesting. If the Hollywood agency is a service provider, the agency over there is simply the master of the stars.

I heard that they like to let their stars accompany important people or clients...

The set of unspoken rules is best played by Koreans, and there is no one who can force so many actresses to commit suicide.

Ronan felt that if he went to South Korea, as the owner of a Hollywood film company and a famous producer, he seemed to be a big shot, would he be treated kindly there?

Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun... Who else is the famous Korean actress in this era?

It's a pity that Ronan's unfamiliarity with the Korean entertainment industry is similar to that of the island country, and even less familiar with the artists of the island country.

By the way, when did Thigh Age debut?

This thought just flashed across Ronan's head, and then he threw it aside. There are far more important things to consider than this.

Since March 2000, the U.S. economy has been very sluggish, and now there seems to be some signs of recovery, but this recovery was quickly snuffed out, making the social and economic situation continue to be turbulent.

For more than a year, Ronan has been staring at the company called Netflix, and the survey and consulting agency hired by him will send out a detailed information about Netflix every week.

Ronan's understanding of this Internet company is no less than his own Sand Sea Entertainment.

If it weren't for the imminent arrival of 9/11, he might have already done something about Netflix.

But now you can wait a little longer, waiting for the socio-economic environment to become more hostile.

Internet companies, no matter what, cannot exist without society. Changes in the social and economic situation will further affect Netflix, which is already in a difficult situation.

For more than a year, Reed-Hastings has struggled in various ways, but unfortunately the overall environment is not good, Netflix itself is limited in strength, and its direct competitor is a behemoth like Blockbuster, and it has not found an investor at all.

Although the online rental business is gradually unfolding, the lack of funds means the lack of content and the capital to attract customers to pay.

The model of Netflix in the previous life has already had an impact on Hollywood, and may even subvert Hollywood's traditional film and television distribution model.

Ronan is very clear that new media other than traditional distribution channels will be an important capital for Relativity Entertainment to be competitive in the future.

The six major Hollywood companies have considerable influence on theater companies and traditional distribution channels, but they do not have an absolute advantage in the online video business that is developing simultaneously.

Although the six major Hollywood companies cooperate and compete, it is impossible to work together to specifically strangle a certain film company. They will only adopt a loose alliance to suppress them like they did with DreamWorks. The strangling of powerful competitors, if Relativity Entertainment has a wide enough new media channel, at least it can guarantee its survival, instead of having to sell itself to the six major companies like DreamWorks.

Although the huge plan has just been launched, Ronan will not let it easily come to naught as he watches the blueprint become reality little by little.

In Ronan's vision, Relativity Entertainment will be an entertainment media group focusing on content production and distribution in the future.

This also determines the difficulty and difficulty of the plan, and it may even not be realized.

There are too many companies in Hollywood, like DreamWorks, that have fallen on the way of development.

Ronan didn't want Relativity Entertainment to be a part of it.

Dreamworks has many problems today, but its performance is still outstanding. In the first half of 2001, even though Relativity Entertainment produced and released three blockbuster movies, House of the Dead, Bourne Shadow and Fatal Turn , North American box office performance is still not as good as DreamWorks.

In the past six months, DreamWorks has won more than US$400 million in North American box office with films such as Shrek, Artificial Intelligence, Mexican and Evolution.

According to the comprehensive statistics of the box office in North America for half a year, DreamWorks not only topped the list of second-tier film companies, but also beat Sony Columbia, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.

The box office does not mean everything to a film company, but it is the basis of new film revenue.

The outstanding performance of DreamWorks still firmly attracted the hatred of the six major companies.

Under the cover of DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment has quietly squeezed into the forefront of second-tier film companies, but Ronan knows very well that New Line Pictures under Warner Bros. will soon explode.

The first part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy will be officially released at the end of this year.

This is one of Ronan's favorite series of films in his previous life. Unfortunately, Tolkien's film rights have long been sold. After he came to Los Angeles, New Line Films has completed the production of the film with the support of the Weinstein Brothers. The integration of copyrights started the preparation of the trilogy.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has created too much brilliance, and New Zealand director Peter Jackson has jumped into the ranks of top Hollywood directors.

Although he would hit the street after leaving Tolkien, Peter Jackson can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history of film.

And Gandalf, Ronan has seen too many stalks about Gandalf in his previous life.

In the setting of the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf is a Maier, in layman's terms, a demigod, proficient in melee combat and spells.

In Peter Jackson's movies, probably magic special effects cost too much money, and Gandalf has completely become a melee unit. At that time, Gandalf was used as an idol on the Internet in the Eastern Kingdom, and many game mages added stalks.

For example, add lighting to spells, and add strength and system to the rest. Weapons need to learn two-handed swords or one-handed swords, and put a lighting spell round sword on the fight.

Even Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movie has influenced the fighting style of the mage protagonist at a certain point in Ronan's previous life.

With a sword in one hand and a stick of wisdom in the other, he can kill a person in ten steps without stopping him for a thousand miles.

Gandalf the white robe left behind endless legends of melee mages.

When Ronan was studying overseas fundraising and foundation operations, he got good news that Shonda Rhimes had returned to Los Angeles from Seattle, and the first draft of the script for Grey's Anatomy had also been completed.
