The Best Entertainment Era

Just received an invitation from UEFA.

On the way to the premiere of Escape from Clone Island, Connie received a call and said to Ronan who was sitting in the back row: UEFA officially invites you to watch this season's Champions League final on the 25th of this month.

Ronan was not surprised by this, and said, Remember to arrange your schedule and coordinate with Will and Tom at the same time.

Connie nodded slightly and said, I understand.

Istanbul, a place where miracles have been created.

Manchester United reached the Champions League final, Ronan has already sent a congratulatory message, and also talked to Ferguson on the phone, specifically mentioning the need to pay attention to AC Milan.

But the affairs of the team must be handled by professionals in the end. Ronan is very clear that he is a layman, and a reminder is enough. If he is really asked to do something, he doesn't know where to start.

After all, Ronan believed in Ferguson and the strength of the current Manchester United team.

Now Manchester United leads the Premier League with a five-point advantage, and winning the Premier League championship is a high probability event.

The Champions League has also reached the final, only one step away from the St. Blair Cup.

It is very rare to be able to achieve the double crown of the Premier League and the Champions League in the first year of buying the team.

Not to mention anything else, Manchester United will definitely appreciate significantly. From a business point of view, this will be a very cost-effective deal.

Once you win the Champions League, the income you get from sponsors will also increase a lot.

Ronan is also communicating with David Gill and Manchester United scouts recently, asking them to pay attention to Barcelona's Xavi and Iniesta, and to focus on Leo Messi of La Masia Film and Television Academy.

If possible, it's best to get one or two.

After a period of consideration, Ronan also figured it out. From the perspective of Manchester United and his asset appreciation, it is better not to show up for the former Cosmos team.

No matter how many criticisms there are, whether there is a real godfather or not, there is no doubt about the strength and performance of the former Cosmos team on the court, especially the core Habaibu and Messi, either of which is very important.

Habaibu is the basis of transmission and control, and Messi is the explosive point that breaks the balance...

take one of them,

The impact may not be particularly large, but if there are two less, the universe team will definitely be affected.

As for Messi, Ronan considers from the perspective of maximizing capital interests. If there is a chance, it seems worthwhile to come to Manchester United even if he stays in the reserve team all the time.

Manchester United's future goals are not only the Premier League, but also the Champions League, so we must plan ahead.

Ronan also knew that Messi is currently the key training target of La Masia Film and Television Academy, and it is not easy to recruit.

But it is said that Messi has a good father, and maybe he can find something from him.

Ronan has communicated with the management of the Manchester United club on these issues, and they will be implemented after the end of this season.

When he came to the premiere theater of Escape from Clone Island, Ronan saw many old friends, such as George Lucas, who also came to help Spielberg.

I heard that your Relativity Entertainment has recently provided a lot of internships for the USC Film Academy?

As a signature figure of USC Film Academy, George Lucas never forgets his alma mater: In this industry, learning theory is far from enough.

Ronan said modestly: Actually, this is also a win-win situation. The students of the academy have the opportunity to learn by themselves, and my crew can also get a lot of fresh blood.

George Lucas laughed: Not many people in Hollywood think like you do.

Ronan said flatly: Because they are not graduates of USC Film School.

George Lucas empathizes: Our group, the imprint of the USC Film School will always be there.

Ronan took out the clear statement from the other side of the Pacific Ocean: I have always been proud of this.

This is indeed the case, whether Ronan admits it or not, in the eyes of others, he is a member of the USC Film Academy faction, and he is a very important one.

Whether in the East or here, alumni are a very important network of contacts.

George Lucas reminded before leaving: Don't forget to attend the premiere of Revenge of the Sith.

Ronan pointed to his forehead: I always remember it.

Relativity Entertainment has always been an entertainment group. Not to mention other aspects, as far as film and television production is concerned, Industrial Light and Magic under Lucasfilm is an invaluable treasure.

In the eyes of a purely commercial filmmaker like Ronan, Industrial Light and Magic has changed the film industry.

What are you talking about? Spielberg came over at this moment: You have gotten very close to George recently.

Ronan smiled and said, The alumni of USC talked about strengthening cooperation with the college.

Although Spielberg is not a graduate of USC Film School, he has always considered himself an alumni of USC, saying: If there is any event, remember to call me.

Ronan nodded and said, It will definitely. He saw Michael Bay and asked, It is said that the test screening of Escape from Clone Island is not very good?

As far as the current situation is concerned, the end of DreamWorks does not meet the interests of Relativity Entertainment.

Spielberg said: Hasn't the movies directed by Michael always been like this? Except for Brave to Kill the Island, which of his films has a good reputation in the trial screenings.

Ronan thought about it carefully, and this is really the case. Michael Bay's movies basically start from the test screenings, and the reputation from the media to the audience is bad. It is difficult to get any good reviews. After the release, Always achieve good market results.

It can only be said that this is a Michael Bay-style movie.

In the past, Michael Bay had a kind of magic, no matter how bad the film was, how vulgar and outrageous the content was, it could always attract the audience.

Ronan had nothing to say, after all, he couldn't tell someone else's premiere that the film was likely to fail.

Wouldn't that break with DreamWorks and Spielberg?

But one thing is certain, Escape from Clone Island is released by DreamWorks alone. If there is a problem, it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary losses.

As before, it was handed over to the six major companies for distribution. After deducting the distribution company's share of revenue, it is difficult for DreamWorks to recover much money.

Spielberg signaled his assistant to stop the person who came to say hello, obviously he had something to talk to Ronan.

The two walked towards a corner with few people, and Connie was quietly doing similar work.

Next weekend, the first animated feature film released by your Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio will premiere. Spielberg said slowly, I heard it's called Despicable Me?

Ronan replied directly: An animated feature film based on the short film Little Yellow Man.

Spielberg asked: Is this the animation production team you accepted from 20th Century Fox?

Ronan nodded slightly: That's them, they are all outstanding doers.

These words made Ronan discover that Relativity Entertainment and 20th Century Fox really had a good relationship, and there was such an intersection at that time.

Spielberg asked: If the film is successful, 20th Century Fox may not be peaceful.

They have Blue Sky Studios, they have Ice Age. Ronan shrugged: I didn't hire someone from 20th Century Fox, but 20th Century Fox fired them, and then I took Chris Ray Nader's team.

When Spielberg talked about this topic, of course he had a purpose: Ronan, your animation studio has already produced an animated feature film, and it must be a success next week. The distribution resources of the embassy film industry must give priority to yourselves. movie about the DreamWorks animation studio...

The old man lowered his glasses and looked at Ronan: After David Geffen quit, DreamWorks was left with me and Jeff Katzenberg to support it, and the only remaining business was live-action film and television production. With the DreamWorks Animation Studio, DreamWorks is the complete DreamWorks.”

These words were deeply affectionate, so Ronan decided not to accept this, and after some consideration, he said, Steven, I can give you a guarantee that after the expiration of the distribution contract between Dreamworks Animation Studio and Embassy Pictures, Theory of Relativity Entertainment will take the initiative to launch, and the internal affairs of DreamWorks need you to discuss with Jeff.

Spielberg is very clear that it is impossible to get more from Ronan. In fact, he is also advancing as a retreat, and what he wants is this guarantee.

Ronan also knows this. After Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio has a stable output of animated feature films, it is impossible for Jeff Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation Studio to continue to cooperate with Embassy Pictures after the contract expires. Collaborate on publishing.

Spielberg shakes Ronan's hand: Hope DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment will always be allies.

Ronan replied: I hope so too.

In fact, at the level of Ronan and Spielberg, many things are not changed by personal will, but by group interests.

Even though Ronan absolutely holds Relativity Entertainment, the performance of Relativity Entertainment is directly related to the income of many management personnel and even ordinary staff.

These are also things that business owners and decision makers must consider.

When the interests of DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment are at odds, even if Ronan and Spielberg have a good personal relationship, the two companies will go against each other.

In this regard, DreamWorks and the six major Hollywood companies have fully demonstrated in the past.

The internal relationship in Hollywood is intricate, but from the perspective of interests, it is not difficult to straighten it out.

Ronan then met Michael Bay and just greeted him without saying anything, the timing is not right now.

After entering the theater, after waiting for a while, the premiere screening of Escape from Clone Island began.

As ever, watching the first installment, it's hard to imagine that this is a Michael Bay movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the first half of the film, Michael Bay seems to have changed his style.

But in the second half, the real Michael Bay is back.

The film begins to collide and collide, explode and explode, which can be described as a typical Michael Bay-style movie.
