The Best Entertainment Era

This trip to India, when returning to Los Angeles, Ronan can be said to have gained a lot.

First of all, it got a $500 million investment from the Mountain Foundation for the Pacific Investment Foundation, then reached an agreement with Steve Jobs, and finally won new financing customers.

One of the goals of Ronan when he came to Mumbai for the first time to look for investment, that is, the Falci Foundation, after the setback of Wall Street investment, although it has not extinguished its determination to continue investing in the US market, the investment goal has shifted to a relatively small risk , and a stable investment with stable income.

The reputable Pacific Investment Fund is their first choice.

The intended investment amount is as high as US$300 million.

Ronan reached a verbal agreement with the Falch Foundation and left Mumbai. Scott Swift personally brought people to India to conduct formal financing negotiations with the Falch Foundation.

In terms of using overseas funds, Ronan has always been more merrier.

For Theory of Relativity Entertainment to achieve today's achievements, it is crucial to find ways to use overseas funds.

Scott Swift left Merrill Lynch and joined the Pacific Investment Fund, and the related work is getting better and better.

Originally, Ronan also considered whether to solicit investment from people who got rich first in certain markets.

Unexpectedly, Scott did the job without saying a word.

Scott has been staying in the East recently. After finishing a little financing there, he will rush directly from the East to South Asia and start negotiations with the Falch Foundation in Mumbai.

Under the coordination of the overseas branch of Embassy Pictures, the Pacific Foundation has attracted hundreds of millions of dollars of investment from the east.

Much of this comes from investments in the natural resources sector.

Investing in the U.S. market not only has stable income, but also has a high profile when speaking out. Although many people are relatively cautious, the Pacific Investment Fund still attracts a group of people.

No one can underestimate the group that many people hailed as uneducated and nouveau riche. Those who can work hard in this industry are not smart people.

What they are engaged in is a profiteering industry, but no one can say how long they can do it.

It can be described as a high-risk industry.

Compared with high-risk investments on Wall Street, the Pacific Foundation, which has stable returns and a good reputation, is a good choice in the eyes of many people.

This group of people does not want future generations to engage in this high-risk industry, and they also attach great importance to preparing a stable growth and financial environment for future generations.

Another extremely important point is that in order to open up the investment market there, Scott specially hired several professionals from there.

These individuals played a key role as they devised a strategy to attract investment from this particular group.

PIF can assist their offspring in choosing schools in the United States.

This can be called a big killer over there. Some people once spent a lot of money to buy a toilet in order to choose a school.

With the financial resources of this group of people, it is not difficult for future generations to come to the United States to study, but it is not so easy to choose a famous school, especially a famous university.

For other schools, the Pacific Foundation can't guarantee it, and USC is not too difficult.

In the past few years, because Ronan once studied at the USC Film School, he and his companies have been making donations to USC, including the Pacific Investment Foundation.

Alumni and alma mater can never be ignored by successful people, especially the background of prestigious schools.

Because of the alumni, Ronan and George Lucas had a natural connection and established a pretty good personal relationship.

Robert Zemeckis probably wouldn't have agreed to direct Alice in Wonderland if it wasn't for an alumnus.

After all, this great director has earned enough money, and now he prefers to make experimental films.

Entering USC through the channels of Ronan and the Pacific Investment Foundation, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

This has attracted many overseas investors.

Although some people always preach that reading is useless, for example, this group of people always say that they earn more than those who have read books, but if their descendants are really asked not to read, they will probably jump in a hurry.

Only they themselves know how much they have suffered from low education.

What this generation lacks, they always want the next generation to make up for it. Being able to go to a prestigious school is not so attractive.

An investment agreement of hundreds of millions of dollars has been reached in advance, and there are still many interested people in the future.

Of course, Scott kept Ronan's emphasis in mind, and all operations were in compliance with laws and regulations.

Moreover, the people of the Pacific Foundation also kept a low profile in public opinion, doing more things and not talking.

Scott is also very smart, handing over more of the business over there to the employees from there, just doing a good job of supervision.

In the past month, thanks to various efforts, the Pacific Investment Foundation has attracted more than one billion US dollars of investment worldwide with its good reputation and reputation, coupled with various initiatives.

These funds are enough to guarantee the budget of big-budget film projects such as Transformers and Hulk.

Without enough money, even the best film creation can only stay on the imagination and on paper.

In today's era, art, money and business have long been inseparable.

Take the art market as an example, including all kinds of antiques, the hype, commercial operations, and other showy operations in it are no less than Hollywood.

Compared with the operations of those international antique dealers targeting the eastern market, the Pacific Investment Foundation is definitely a super conscientious enterprise.

Transformers and The Incredible Hulk have sufficient budgets, and the preparatory work is naturally smooth, and funds are also the most basic guarantee for the operation of the crew.

Marvel Entertainment has signed a director agreement with Joss Whedon. Jacques Phoenix took the initiative to go to the USC Institute of Technology to experience life with several physics professors in order to better adapt to Bruce Banner's identity as a scientist.

Fitness is also an essential preparation item for Jacques Phoenix.

This actor, in stark contrast to his brother who died young, can be said to be a clear-headed and professional actor.

Perhaps, what happened to River Phoenix is ​​also a constant reminder of Joaquin Phoenix and other people who have a close relationship with him.

Isla Fisher, who has worked with Sandsea Entertainment on Wedding Crashers, stands out among many female lead actors and will play Bruce Banner's girlfriend Betty Ross, who is the daughter of General Ross.

Likewise, the Australian actress has signed a long-term deal with Marvel Entertainment.

The directors of Thor and Captain America ​​have not yet been determined and are still being selected.

These two films will be launched after Iron Man 2, and there is plenty of time.

Marvel's Avengers plan is being gradually promoted after receiving sufficient financial support, and the development of related comics is also in progress. For example, as the published content of Civil War gradually increased, it aroused strong repercussions across the United States. Its influence Force is also beyond the scope of the manga.

This is not the plot in the movie that was like an airport appointment for elementary school students, which involves political and social realities.

Today's comic version of Civil War is not a personal grievance, but a confrontation of ideas.

And the content is pretty dark.

The concept of the civil war was proposed by Ronan, but the relevant content and plot are ultimately decided by Marvel. Ronan has communicated with the creative committee of Marvel. The ending of the civil war is also dark. Captain America will die in an assassination!

This would also cause the Avengers to split completely in the comics.

Movie adaptations are different from comics, and how movies will be shot in the future depends on the market.

As for The Avengers, if the plan is promoted normally, it will be released in 2009 or 2010.

In terms of Transformers, after Ronan finalized Candice Swanepoel as the heroine, he returned to Los Angeles and participated in the audition for the male lead, and finally chose to participate in the final audition for Superman Returns. Lost British actor Henry Cavill starred as Duke.

The young Henry Cavill is tall and strong, and he will go to the barracks for a few months to experience life, so he can take on such a military role.

Similarly, Henry Cavill had to sign a long-term actor contract with Shahai Entertainment in order to get the role of Duke after he had just experienced the failure of the casting of Superman Returns.

Probably due to the relationship of time, the Superman who really impressed Ronan was not Christopher Reeve, but Henry Cavill.

It seems that Henry Cavill worked with Tom Cruise later, and it seems that he also starred in the famous Warlock Piledriver.

Ronan also thought of the source of the character from the role of Henry Cavill's Warlock Piledriver. It seems to be a TV series adapted from the game, but what is the name of the TV series or the original name of the game?

The Witcher? Or The Witcher?

It's a pity that he hasn't seen this drama, so he really doesn't remember clearly.

With the actor Henry Cavill signing the actor contract, all the actors of Transformers are in place, and the crew has also begun the final preparation period for shooting.

In terms of project budget, special effects production will be the biggest expense. Although the film will not be produced in 3D, hundreds of millions of dollars will still be spent on special effects technology.

In contrast, the cost of the actors is very low. The highest paid actor and actress in the entire crew is not the hero and heroine, but the famous black actor Tyrese Gibson, but his salary is only 500,000 US dollars.

The actor who voiced Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, is the tallest, and this is the most classic Optimus Prime voice.

For Megatron, Ronan rejected the idea of ​​inviting the Elf King Hugo Weaving, and instead invited a voice actor with a more distinctive voice, but a lower reputation and lower salary.

It's just dubbing, and it's not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to invite Hugo Weaving.

While the crew was securing the actors, Michael Bay used his relationship with Relativity Entertainment to reach an agreement with the Department of Defense and the military, and will be authorized to shoot in multiple military bases, including Edwards Air Force Base.

In addition, the military will also send soldiers to directly participate in the filming, and the crew can use a variety of heavy equipment including airplanes and tanks to participate in the filming.

Correspondingly, in terms of the plot and content of the film, there should be no content that discredits the military, and it must actively promote a positive image of the military.

This is also in line with the setting of the film, so Ronan naturally agreed.
