The Best Entertainment Era

At the beginning of the preparation of this film, Uwe Ball contacted Paris Hilton once, wanting to continue to let the daughter of the Hilton family play the leading actress, but was rejected.

People grow, even girls like Paris Hilton.

Maybe she didn't see it clearly at the time, and she was a little confused, but after being reminded by others and her own thinking, Paris Hilton could also see that her contribution and income were completely out of proportion to the movie she starred in.

Therefore, Ronan was not surprised by Paris Hilton's refusal.

Later, Ronan asked someone to contact the future first daughter, but was also declined.

In terms of shrewdness and scheming, that one is far above Paris Hilton.

Later, CAA recommended an actress to Ronan. After reading the materials and auditioning, Ronan finalized her role as the heroine.

A girl who was working out saw Ronan and Uwe Ball, hurried over, greeted Uwe Ball, and said to Ronan: Hi, Mr. Anderson, thank you very much for giving me this Chance.

Ronan smiled: You're welcome, Miss Baylor. Your agent is right, you are very suitable for this role.

Camilla Baylor still said: I hope to have the opportunity to express my gratitude.

Ronan said calmly, Play this role well.

This girl has a very special appearance and can be called a different beauty. With thick eyebrows, big eyes and dark brown hair, she has exquisite facial features, full of exotic customs, and has a mysterious and intelligent temperament, which has a unique charm.

But Ronan just chatted with her for a while and left.

Ronan remembers Camilla Belle, who was also a star in her previous life and starred in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park 2.

After leaving the film crew, Ronan returned to Relativity Entertainment. As soon as he entered the office, Connie followed him in with a document.

Ronan opened the chair and sat down, and asked, What's the matter?

Connie put the document on the desk and said, This is the information of Dark Horse Comics.

Ronan because Guillermo del Toro wants to adapt Hellboy\

,"Thinking of the dark horse comics that have been neglected, last week I specially arranged for Connie's assistant team to collect relevant information about dark horse comics.

He opened the file and quickly read it.

Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comics company in the United States after DC and Marvel. It was founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson in Milwaukee, Oregon.

Mike Richardson, formerly the owner of several comic book stores in the Portland metropolitan area, began publishing an anthology series called Dark Horse Productions in 1986, investing the profits of the comic book store in Dark Horse Comics.

Is the film and television adaptation copyright of Hellboy still available? Ronan asked.

Connie replied immediately: Currently, the copyright of the adaptation is still in the hands of Dark Horse Comics.

Ronan thought for a while: Go and tell Robert to come see me as soon as he comes back from London. He suddenly thought of one thing: It's not necessary, I'm going to London in a few days, and I'll meet with you at that time. Robert Lee talk about it.

Robert Lee has met with Bear Grylls, and Bear Grylls wants to meet and interview him.

Okay. Connie left the office.

Ronan continued to look at the materials, especially the works under the Dark Horse Comics, and found many familiar names.

Dark Horse's comic business is mainly divided into two parts: original comic publishing and comic adaptation and publishing authorized by film and television works.

The latter accounts for a considerable share. Dark Horse has many comics based on popular movies or TV series, including: Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alien and Who Wants to Be a Super hero.

In addition, Dark Horse also holds the right to adapt comics to sci-fi movies such as Predator, Alien, RoboCop, Terminator, and SWAT Judge.

These are of no value to Ronan and Relativity Entertainment. After all, it is a comic adapted from a movie, and there is no value in adapting a movie again.

Among the original comics, many works of Dark Horse have been put on the big screen, among which the most famous ones are undoubtedly The Masquerade starring Kim Carrey and Alien directed by John Bruno.

Among the works that Dark Horse Comics has not yet sold the adaptation rights to, besides Hellboy, there are also many names that can evoke Ronan's memory.

For example, the other two works of Frank Miller, the author of The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City and Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.

Forget about the former. If Sin City wants to achieve the desired effect, the production budget cannot be low, but in the end it is difficult to break away from the category of niche films. I vaguely remember that this film was very famous in its previous life, but the box office is actually mediocre.

It's best if you can buy it, and don't force it if you can't.

But Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta better get your hands on it.

The moment he saw this film, Ronan knew that Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta was very important to the future of the Avengers in his hands.

Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta is the work directed by Zack Schneider that really attracted the attention of all parties. It was also this work that allowed him to gradually form his own style, and brought these styles into the following DC superhero comics. , Let DC movies win a group of hardcore fans while losing more passer-by audiences.

Just like game adaptation movies, game fans and comic fans alone cannot support the huge investment movie market.

Ronan once roughly read related reports that Zach Schneider was favored by Warner Bros. and DC Comics. On the one hand, he was appreciated for his ability and style, and on the other hand, he was recommended by Christopher Nolan.

Because some of Zack Snyder's styles are very similar to his Dark Knight.

Ronan had more ideas in an instant, and now Christopher Nolan is cooperating with him, and the two have a good relationship, so he can also properly influence Christopher Nolan, so that Warner Bros. and DC Comics still have a high chance of being selected Zack Snyder.

But the premise of all this is that Zach Schneider will definitely become famous and have enough outstanding results to prove himself.

Otherwise, for an ordinary director, even with the recommendation of Christopher Nolan, it is impossible for Warner Bros. and DC Comics to use him to direct top-tier productions.

Ronan looked it up on the Internet, and the current Zack Schneider is a well-known MV director, and he hasn't stepped into the film industry yet.

If I remember correctly, Zack Snyder's first movie should be the remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Although I don't really remember whether this film was a success, but judging from the fact that Zach Schneider can still direct the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta with a low investment, Dawn of the Dead should not have failed.

You can check the copyright of this film, see which company owns it, and try to win the copyright of the reprint.

Ronan memorized all the names of the works that he wanted to obtain copyright, and asked Connie to further collect relevant information.

In addition, through the information of Dark Horse Comics, Ronan also thought of other comic companies, and asked Connie to collect the works of American comic companies so that he could find familiar names from them.

In addition to the three major comic companies in the United States, Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse, there are many small and medium-sized comic companies, and some of them may have valuable works.

Most of the movies that Ronan can remember are either extremely popular or have lost a lot of money.

Before Robert Lee returned from England, Ronan focused on Frank Miller's Sin City and 300 Spartans.

Although Sin City was published by Dark Horse Comics, the copyright is completely in the hands of Frank Miller.

The film and television adaptation rights of Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta belong to Dark Horse Comics. As long as Frank Miller does not object, Dark Horse Comics can sell the film and television adaptation rights.

Three days later, Ronan arrived in London and met Robert Lee at the Four Seasons Hotel in London.

How about it?

In the room, Ronan asked Robert Lee directly: Is everything going well?

Robert Lee said: I have talked to Bear Grylls twice. Because of his own experience, this person is very adventurous and is very interested in your proposal.

Ronan nodded: This is the best.

Robert Lee added: But Bear Grylls has other companies in his hands at the moment, and he is working with the Prince of Wales' charitable trust to prepare for an Atlantic adventure.

Ronan asked: Is there any connection between him and the British royal family?

We have close cooperation with some associations and institutions sponsored by the royal family or affiliated in name. Robert Lee said simply: Many of Bear Grylls' adventure activities are named in the name of charity.

Ronan was not surprised. Celebrities always like to do things under the banner of charity, which is a common phenomenon.

Stay with me in London for a few days and meet Bear Grylls. Ronan quickly made a decision: Then you go back to Los Angeles and contact Dark Horse Comics. I have sent the details to your email inside.

Robert Lee responded, No problem.

Ronan didn't want to waste time, and asked, When can I see him the soonest?

Robert Lee thought for a while and said, Bell Grylls will attend a charity dinner held by a charitable foundation under the royal family tonight. I also have an invitation letter. It is said that the Prince of Wales and his family will also attend.

Ronan said, Okay, let's go together.

Prince of Wales? The crown prince of the Kingdom of Great Britain who has repeatedly broken records.

What is a prince? There was a standard answer in the Internet era in the previous life. For modern society, the prince is the mascot who is middle-aged and bald, whose mother is not dead, and who can only laugh awkwardly by his side forever.

Many people have been discussing a possibility, will the mother boil her son to death in the end?

The pair of nominal supreme rulers are both Internet celebrities.

The woman waits too long.

The man's side is: once the prince opened his mouth, ten years of diplomacy was wasted.
