The Best Entertainment Era

Due to Ronan's promotion, this romantic comedy project was quickly given the green light by Shahai Entertainment, and the legal department immediately started negotiations with James Last to push the project into the pre-planning stage.

Having said that, Ronan holds the creative and project power of the entire group, so naturally there is no reason not to pass it.

This aspect is really overdue.

James Last is very active, and the conditions are not high. Even the project bonus that the producer must pay for buying the producer's project is only half a million dollars.

For directors, the opportunity to direct the first feature film is often the most difficult; for actors, the first important role in life requires more than acting skills and abilities, and may also pay a huge price in other aspects.

For filmmakers, the opportunity to work independently on their first project is equally rare.

James Last has accumulated many years of experience, and his luck is not bad.

He has served as an executive producer in many Hollywood movies, and he also met Will Smith through King Ali, and it happened that Will Smith was interested in this project again.

Once the two parties signed the project contract, James Last broke out with great enthusiasm for work and quickly promoted various tasks.

As for the director, I plan to invite Andy Tennant.

In the office, James Last told Ronan about his next plan: He is an expert in making love movies, and he has directed nearly ten movies, most of which are in the genre of love. Good Things Come in Twice, and this year there will be a release of Homecoming Alabama directed by him.

Ronan has seen Tale of Love and Return to Alabama. The heroine of the former is Drew Barrymore, and the latter is one of Reese Witherspoon's masterpieces.

Okay. Ronan said, You have a preliminary contact with Andy Tennant first.

James Last asked with concern: Will...

Ronan gave him a reassurance: Will's side is not a problem. Sandsea Entertainment is negotiating with Will's agent, and the progress is very smooth.

The two parties have reached an agreement on the remuneration. Shahai Entertainment offered Will Smith a remuneration of 20 million US dollars. Since the release of King Ali last year, Will Smith's remuneration has reached 20 million US dollars. The salary of Men in Black 2, which has not yet been released, is also 20 million US dollars.

On Bad Boys 2, Will Smith's salary is $20 million plus 10 percent of the gross proceeds.

This is a sequel movie, and high pay and high share are normal.

In terms of non-sequel films, Will Smith's salary is temporarily $20 million.

There is nothing to say in this regard, and the entire Hollywood recognizes the value of Will Smith.

At present, the talks between Shahai Entertainment and Will Smith's agent are all about small issues about the treatment of the crew.

With big-name stars, there must be many special terms.

Even Tom Hanks, a well-known good guy in the circle, will have dozens of additional clauses in the contract.

Considering Will Smith's high salary, Ronan said to James Last: The female lead's salary should be compressed within $3 million.

James Last said: There are several candidates for the heroine, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Winona Ryder.

Julie is not suitable, and the pay is too high. Ronan rejected a candidate without hesitation. What the heroine needs is a vase, and Angelina Jolie's current route and style are also problematic. He thought for a while and said, Winona Ryder is not suitable either.

This one seems to have some bad habits, maybe it will become a ticking time bomb at any time.

James Last tentatively asked, Charlize Theron?

Ronan said: She can be included in the candidate list, you continue to look for other candidates. He remembered that Charlize Theron rejected Shahai Entertainment once, and he was prepared: It is always right to have more candidates.

Having said that, Ronan thought about it carefully. It seems that Charlize Theron won the Oscar for Best Actress in a few years, and there is basically no threat of the Oscar curse.

But Ronan would not choose Charlize Theron if there were other suitable candidates.

Although this South African diamond has always been a very pure vase in commercial films in the early stage, its acting skills and box office appeal are not outstanding. After winning the Oscar, it is also a specially customized route, all the way to Mad Max: Fury Road Only then did it really carry the box office of a movie.

Of course, as a pure vase role, Charlize Theron is still qualified.

The film Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun is about to be released. Apart from the MINI car, the most eye-catching character in this film is Charlize Theron.

After sending James Last away, Ronan received a call from Jun Ji-hyun, wanting to ask him to have dinner with him.

Ronan had an appointment with Scott Swift at night, so he could only say sorry to Jeon Ji-hyun, and just learned about Jun Ji-hyun's recent situation in detail on the phone.

When he came to Los Angeles, Ronan threw Jun Ji-hyun to the Grey's Anatomy crew. After explaining to Shonda Rhimes, he basically didn't ask about Jun Ji-hyun's situation.

Through the phone, Jun Zhixian roughly talked about her work for the past two months.

After winning the actor contract of Grey's Anatomy, in addition to the necessary preparations, Jun Ji-hyun was ordered by Shonda Rhimes to go to a professional language class to strengthen English, and because the actor recommended by Ronan could not refuse relationship, appropriately modified the background setting of the character, and adjusted it to be a generation of immigrants to meet Jun Ji-hyun's situation.

However, Jeon Ji-hyun's spoken language still needs to be strengthened as quickly as possible, so that American audiences can at least understand what she said smoothly.

Similar to Jun Ji-hyun's situation, Ronan had expected it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Hollywood has too many ways to solve it.

If it doesn't work, just dub it directly, and don't need Jeon Ji-hyun to fight for acting awards.

Ronan hung up the phone and dealt with some work on the film project. The embassy film industry has already started the pre-screening promotion of Underworld, which will be released in April.

Compared with Resident Evil, Underworld also has its own unique advantages. Werewolves and vampires occupy a considerable weight in Western ghost legends, and have even become a cultural phenomenon.

Underworld is of course a niche film, and the promotion must be targeted.

After finishing the work at hand, Ronan left the company an hour early and rushed to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Scott Swift.

This is a typical Italian restaurant with typical Mediterranean dishes.

Ronan met Scott Swift in a business booth in the restaurant.

The Koreans' investment has been fully in place. Scott said about the recent work situation: It can be transferred to the crew account at any time.

Ronan nodded and asked: You keep in touch with the Long-Term Credit Bank of the Island Country. I have a new project that may need 70 million to 80 million US dollars. I will strive to get the first batch of Long-term Credit Bank in June and July. The second investment is in place.

I'll keep in touch with them, Scott said.

Ronan said again: You can go to Mumbai again when you have time, I have almost contacted the Indians, you go there and try to get investment... Well, let Shahai Entertainment sign another film investment with the Pacific Foundation protocol.

Scott thought about the itinerary and said, I'll be leaving next week.

Ronan continued: You also have to go to Berlin. You know Tony Koch. There are some investment matters over there, and you need to help Tony deal with them.

Okay. Scott replied.

Germany, India, South Korea and island countries are now the important sources of production financing for Shahai Entertainment, and they have also solved Ronan's urgently needed funding problem.

Sandsea Entertainment has made big moves one after another, but the filming funds are basically external financing, which has not put much pressure on Relativity Entertainment's capital chain, so that Relativity Entertainment can ensure relatively sufficient liquidity.

By the way, I have several dividend payments coming soon. This is Ronan's salary as a producer: One is used to repay the bank loan, one is used to guarantee my daily expenses, and the rest I will transfer to my personal on the account of the foundation.

Scott asked concerned: Continue to invest in the stock market?

Ronan nodded slightly, and said: Apple and Amazon, you can buy as much as you can. He thought for a while, and then said: Pay more attention to the situation of these two companies. If there are shareholders in the two companies who want to transfer their shares, Let me know as soon as possible, and I will find a way to raise funds to eat it.

I'll keep an eye out, Scott said.

After talking about working, the two talked about the current stock market. Since the Washington authorities rescued the market last year, the stock market has been recovering. Although the speed is a bit slow, it has maintained an overall upward trend.

I heard that the bosses of many stock brokerage companies had very inspirational experiences. Ronan asked a very concerned question: From being poor and living on the streets, to becoming a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire.

Scott told the truth: There are such people, but the number is very small, which is about the same as the proportion of Hollywood actors and Hollywood first-line stars. The so-called American Dream reported is an exception.

He said with some helplessness: Ordinary people play stocks, most of them are like me before.

Ronan understood what Scott meant, and he wanted to go to Mexico to find a way to save the defeat.

I forgot where I saw it. There was a report about a black stockbroker. Ronan recalled the plot of the movie, and said, It seems to be a stockbroker's company that turned from an unemployed street bum to a millionaire. boss.

Scott used to be a stockbroker, and said with a smile: I know this person, a successful figure in the 1980s, named Chris Gardner, many media have reported his deeds, an inspirational millionaire.

Ronan remembered the name: Chris Gardner.
