The Best Entertainment Era

Hearing Ronan's name, Christopher Nolan was quite surprised, because he had never considered Batman before, and who didn't know that since the fiasco of Batman and Robin, Warner Bros. and DV Comic have announced that it will be sealed indefinitely The film adaptation of the Batman series.

But on second thought, apart from the comic book superhero, it seems that Batman is really suitable.

A protagonist who moves in the dark, a hero with a deep hatred...

From the perspective of the most basic human nature, Bruce Wayne not only moves in the dark, but his heart should also be full of darkness.

At this moment, Christopher Nolan felt that Batman was really suitable.

Bruce Wayne is really good. Christopher Nolan frowned: But the Batman series of movies...

Ronan said: The previous Batman series of movies have completely ruined this series, and even Warner Bros. and DC Comics have lost confidence.

Christopher Nolan said: Who said it wasn't.

Thinking of George Clooney's attire, he felt a chill.

Ronan has a clear purpose and plan for coming this time, and said directly: If Warner Bros. and DC Comics can feel that they can take risks again, we may not have the opportunity to restart Batman.

Us? Christopher Nolan quickly grasped the key to Ronan's words: Restart?

Ronan said directly: Sony Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man is about to be released. I watched the internal test screening of this film through my relationship. According to my judgment, this film will not only be successful, but will also create superhero movies. Unrivaled glory.

He glanced at Christopher Nolan and continued: Once Spider-Man achieves outstanding results, Warner Bros. and DC Comics will definitely think of their own superheroes.

Christopher Nolan smiled and said: Bruce Wayne is indeed very suitable for the dark style, but Ronan, I never thought of making a superhero movie.

Ronan was a little surprised, because in the Batman tidbits he had seen in his previous life, Christopher Nolan said that it had always been his dream to shoot a Batman movie.

Sure enough, the film company did everything they could to promote it.

Chris,

I can't think of a better character or subject than Bruce Wayne. Ronan said directly: Have you seen The Dark Knight Returns created by Frank Miller in 1986?

He added: Frank Miller brings a dark world and an even darker man to life, and Bruce Wayne goes from Gotham's patron saint to a real man.

Christopher Nolan is a very smart person. Ronan can lead so many successful films in a row, and he must have a unique vision.

I will take a serious look at this comic. He said very seriously: Ronan, do you want to cooperate with me in the new Batman movie?

This is a smart man, and Ronan didn't hide it, and said: Since you told me the night of the premiere, I thought of The Dark Knight Returns, and wanted to restart the Batman series and create a new Batman III. Part one, let Bruce Wayne become a real person, just as you are going to shoot a dark style film, I think you will be a good choice.

Christopher Nolan bluntly said the most difficult part: It is impossible for Warner Bros. and DC Comics to give us copyright, even if we buy it with money, we can't buy it.

This is a very real problem. Unless a super sky-high price is thrown, it is absolutely impossible for Warner Bros. and DC Comics to give up the most valuable superhero in their hands.

Ronan had planned a long time ago, and also carefully considered the cooperation model between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. on the Batman trilogy in his previous life, and said: We can make a plan that is enough to impress Warner Bros. and DV Comics, and let them Restart the Batman series, so that Shahai Entertainment can obtain the relevant shooting authorization of DC Comics.

He simply explained: Sandhai Entertainment and Warner Bros. are jointly funded and filmed. Sandhai Entertainment only shares revenue and does not need copyright and distribution.

This is just a preliminary idea. How about the specifics, we need to negotiate with Warner Bros. and DC Comics later.

Christopher Nolan is a very important part of the plan, and Ronan wouldn't be a part of it without Christopher Nolan at the helm.

It is impossible to get the film copyright of the leading superhero from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and we can only find ways to share the proceeds.

Big Hollywood companies have never refused other production companies to participate in investment in high-risk projects, which can effectively share risks.

Ronan remembers very clearly that Christopher Nolan's version of the Batman trilogy and Inception and other films in his previous life were all co-produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

Of course, all distributors of these films are Warner Bros.

As long as they hold on to the distribution rights, Warner Bros. is enough to guarantee their own profits after the success of the film.

Ronanken cooperated with Christopher Nolan before his fortune, not only for the Batman trilogy, but also for other Christopher Nolan movies.

Even if all goes according to plan, distribution rights to the Batman trilogy are unlikely, but what about Christopher Nolan's original films? The copyright has nothing to do with Warner Bros. and DC Comics. It can be produced by Shahai Entertainment and distributed globally by Embassy Pictures.

Of course, there are disadvantages to doing so. Once Warner Bros. decides that Christopher Nolan is extremely valuable, and Christopher Nolan is willing to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, the relationship behind will be delicate...

Indeed, anyone is free to cooperate with anyone, and this is also a so-called democratic and free society, but there are too many messy things about business in this world.

Fortunately, according to Ronan's overall development plan, Relativity Entertainment will not be what it is now.

He himself gave a relatively rough division of power to all the companies in Hollywood, the lowest being the micro-companies that made crude videotapes and gritty movies, such as Sand Sea Entertainment in the early and mid-90s.

On the top are small film companies and the bag studios of stars.

A notch above that are pure middling production companies like Carlock Films and Orion Films before bankruptcy, which have no distribution capabilities.

Then there are medium-level film companies, which have relatively strong production capabilities and good distribution capabilities, such as DreamWorks, New Line and Relativity Entertainment can all be classified into this level.

Then there are large film companies, which have a heavyweight voice in the industry and a complete industrial chain, represented by the six major Hollywood companies.

Movies and television are only part of the entertainment industry. Today, the six major Hollywood companies have become part of the entertainment media group. Above these large film companies, there is also the entertainment media group.

Such as Sony Entertainment, Time Warner, Walt Disney and News Corporation and so on.

Most of the traditional Hollywood film companies have not developed into entertainment media groups. Since the 1980s and 1990s, they have been acquired by entertainment media groups and become important content suppliers.

In Hollywood, there is one and only Walt Disney, which has developed from a traditional studio and distribution label to an entertainment media group.

But Walt Disney is weaker now. After annexing ABC TV station, it still has indigestion.

On top of the entertainment media group, there is also a very large entertainment group, which is a leader in the entire industry, such as Walt Disney in the previous life.

Under the control of Robert Iger, Walt Disney not only swallowed many small and medium-sized companies one after another, but also swallowed most of the business and assets of Twentieth Century Fox.

Ronan's rough planning allows him to roughly see the position of Relativity Entertainment, among micro companies, small companies, medium companies, medium companies with distribution capabilities, large companies, entertainment media groups and super entertainment media groups , Relativity Entertainment is undoubtedly still in the mid-range position.

As long as Relativity Entertainment can squeeze into the ranks of entertainment media groups, it will have a certain strength to withstand the pressure from all sides.

Now that DreamWorks is attracting firepower in the front, Relativity Entertainment can develop insignificantly, but DreamWorks will fall one day, and Relativity Entertainment will always face various competitions in the industry.

Competition cannot be avoided, but it can only be faced with difficulties. Just like what Ronan did with Christopher Nolan, we must seize the opportunity to gather resources to strengthen the company's strength.

Ronan and Christopher Nolan exchanged a lot of views on the dark style and Batman. This is only the first time to talk about specific projects. Christopher Nolan still has the work of White Night in his hands. Christopher Nolan responded directly.

Chris, watch The Dark Knight Returns if you have time. Ronan reminded before leaving: Think carefully about my suggestion.

Given Ronan's reputation for success, Christopher Nolan said very seriously: I'll check out The Dark Knight Returns tonight.

Ronan shook hands with Christopher Rowland and went to the studio of the crew of Sand Sea Entertainment.

In fact, there are some things he won’t say to anyone, because only Ronan himself understands that the more successful Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is, the better it is for him to hold the copyrights of the Avengers in his hands.

This is also taking advantage of the trend to dig a difficult hole for Warner Bros. to fill.

In the previous life, the real version of Batman achieved great success, which not only allowed Warner Bros. to enjoy high dividends, but also brought endless troubles, which to a certain extent caused DC's Justice League plan to be greatly affected.

The trace left by this copyright master is too heavy, and it will appear in Justice League or other DC superhero movies...

Think about the scolding that Big Ben incurred at that time.

And the influence of the dark style makes the Justice League want to die.

From Ronan's current point of view, although DC and Marvel are in a relationship of plagiarism and cooperation in competition, the less smooth DC's Justice League series is, the more in line with his interests.
