The Best Entertainment Era

On the second day after the reception, Ryan Cavano came to the Relativity Building to pay a visit. The reason was to express his gratitude for the support last night and to seek the assistance of future allies.

Come with him, and Sylvester Stallone that Ronan met at the reception.

Ronan was somewhat surprised that Maple Leaf Pictures and Ryan Cavanaugh came so quickly.

He also had a new understanding of Ryan Kavanaugh.

It was only said last night that the two sides are natural allies, and they came to the door today. Ryan Kavanaugh really did not give up every opportunity.

Very aggressive, but a bit too fast.

There is no doubt that Ryan Cavano is a very decisive person. This can be said to be a good ability, but the decisiveness must be matched with vision.

Otherwise, it could lead to another accident like the end of the hedge fund.

But that's not a bad thing for Ronan and Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan met Ryan Kavanaugh and Sylvester Stallone in the reception room on the top floor of the Relativity Building.

Ronan is relatively familiar with Stallone. The two sides greeted each other and sat together to exchange a few words.

Ryan Cavano quickly brought the small talk to the point, Ronan, I'm here to ask you for help. He doesn't mind such things as face, as long as the company develops, countless faces will automatically fly over Maple Leaf The film industry has just been established, and we are facing too many difficulties. If we want to develop the film business, we need the help of Relativity Entertainment.

Due to physical factors, Stallone's face looks expressionless.

Seeing Stallone coming with Ryan Kavanaugh, Ronan already had some guesses in his heart, and said, As long as Relativity Entertainment can do it.

Strictly speaking, this is also a business transaction, Ryan Cavanaugh said with a smile.

Ronan made a gesture of invitation, Ryan, just say it.

The foundation of the film company lies in the film. Ryan Cavano has always maintained a friendly but not enthusiastic smile. This is the weakest link of Maple Leaf Pictures, which is precisely the strongest link of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan didn't answer, and waited patiently for Ryan Kavanaugh to finish.

Ryan Cavanaugh cleared his throat. Nobody in Hollywood welcomes Maple Leaf. He smiled apologetically at Ronan and Stallone. Except you and Sylvie, of course.

So, after last night, I had an idea. Ryan Cavanaugh still said with a smile, We all have the common goal of breaking through the blockade of Hollywood's traditional forces, why can't we work together?

Stallone said, I like working with new companies, they are not as dead as the old companies.

Ryan Cavanaugh took the opportunity to ask, Ronan, it is said that the copyright of the First Blood trilogy is in the hands of Relativity Entertainment

There is no need for Ronan to deny, That's right, with the acquisition of Artisan Films' film library copyright, Relativity Entertainment obtained all the copyrights of the First Blood series.

Sylvie has always had the idea of ​​filming the fourth part. Ryan Cavano said, This series has caused a huge sensation, and filming the fourth part should have the possibility of success.

Ronan didn't answer, but instead asked, Ryan, do you want to invest in the fourth part of First Blood?

Ryan Cavanaugh said, Yes, I hope to film with Relativity Entertainment, or be authorized by Relativity Entertainment. He glanced at Stallone, Sylvie has agreed to continue to star and direct this series.

Ronan looked towards Stallone, and Stallone said, I had the idea of ​​a sequel a long time ago, and the main plot of the script is almost the same.

What Ryan Cavanaugh wants most is to establish the name of Maple Leaf Films in one fell swoop, so as to gain a foothold in Hollywood as soon as possible. Relativity Entertainment should have no shortage of projects and no related sequel plans.

Ronan said a prerequisite I can't transfer the copyright of the First Blood trilogy to Maple Leaf Pictures.

The profitability of popular movies and TV series should not be underestimated. Although the First Blood trilogy is not like the former Friends, even after many years after completion, it can still bring in hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Through offline operations, the annual net income is also tens of millions of dollars.

No, no, Ryan Cavanaugh hurriedly took a step back, Sylvie and I just hope to get permission to shoot a sequel from Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan also had some guesses, and he was not surprised by the answer Authorization for a sequel

Ryan Cavanaugh knew that it was impossible to obtain authorization for free, saying, Of course this is a normal commercial transaction, and Maple Leaf Pictures can pay the relevant authorization fees for this.

Ronan seems to be seriously thinking about it. Perhaps others still have great expectations for Stallone and First Blood, hoping that this famous series can recreate the glory of the 1980s.

But Ronan knows very well that Stallone is really old and outdated for the main audience in today's film market.

Not to mention the first blood, the death squad that once assembled so many popular action stars, its commercial response can only be said to be very mediocre.

Since the copyright of the first trilogy is not involved, Ronan thought for a while and said, Relativity Entertainment can authorize Maple Leaf Pictures to shoot the sequel, but the specific authorization fee will not be very low. Qu’s commercial achievements are very outstanding, and he has cultivated a large number of loyal Lambo fans. If the licensing fee for this series is not reasonable, I will not be able to explain it to the company.”

Ryan Cavanaugh said, Don't worry, Ronan, I won't make things difficult for you.

The problem that money within a certain range can solve is not a problem for Maple Leaf Pictures today.

Stallone asked How much does the license cost?

Ronan said, The basic authorization fee and the later stage are divided into two parts. The specific ratio will be discussed by the people below.

Ryan Cavanaugh held a large amount of funds. Seeing that Ronan was so happy and unambiguous, he said, Okay, let the people below talk about it.

The most important thing is not the question of more or less licensing fees, but that Maple Leaf Pictures can really gain a foothold in Hollywood with a successful film.

Although there is no direct discussion, Ronan has already drawn the bottom line, the minimum is the base fee of 20 million US dollars plus about 10% of the total revenue share of a film.

Yes, only one will be authorized.

Whether Maple Leaf Pictures and Ryan Cavanaugh will agree, Ronan feels that it should not be a problem.

Nowadays, the copyrights of successful Hollywood movies are basically in the hands of the six major companies, Relativity Entertainment, and DreamWorks. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to obtain relevant authorizations for successful movies.

Ronan is very clear that it is difficult for the type of First Blood to rejuvenate in a short period of time. If the copyright of the sequel is authorized, there must be a time limit and copyright re-authorization restrictions.

In other words, Relativity Entertainment's authorization for a sequel is only limited to Maple Leaf Pictures, and if Maple Leaf Pictures does not shoot related films within a few years, the authorization will automatically be voided.

Of course, Maple Leaf Pictures might not accept it, but if they didn't accept it, Ronan wouldn't force it. It was Maple Leaf Pictures that asked for it.

In fact, Ryan Cavano had no better choice. After finally finding a Stallone who was willing to cooperate, the goal was naturally to focus on Stallone's most successful series of movies.

Maple Leaf Pictures had contacted Rocky's copyright owner before, and Sony Columbia Pictures, who bought out MGM's movie library, opened his mouth, and the conditions offered were unacceptable to him.

As for original and innovative film projects, even someone like Ryan Cavano who has just entered Hollywood knows that the risks are extremely high.

What the newly established Maple Leaf Pictures needs is a hit, not a squib.

Just like at the reception last night, Ronan and Ryan Cavano had a very pleasant conversation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In particular, Ryan Cavanaugh, from Ronan's willingness to authorize Maple Leaf Pictures to license the rights to the First Blood sequel, really felt the sincerity of Relativity Entertainment's cooperation.

Compared with other companies in Hollywood, Relativity Entertainment is really full of sincerity.

After receiving the reply of Ronan's consent and authorization, Sylvester Stallone took the lead in leaving, saying that he will now start preparing for the sequel film.

Although there are various shortcomings, there is no doubt about Stallone's professionalism.

Ryan Cavano chatted with Ronan for a while, and once again talked about the authorization of the sequel to First Blood, he said excitedly, I personally, and the entire Maple Leaf Pictures, will always remember the favor of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan smiled and said, You're welcome, we are a normal business cooperation. Relativity Entertainment's cooperation philosophy has not changed from the beginning to now, and it has always focused on win-win.

Win-win but the authorization of the sequel of First Blood is far from satisfying Ryan Cavano's appetite. He tentatively said, Ronan, if there is a suitable investment opportunity, can you bring me?

Ronan faintly sensed Ryan Cavanaugh's appetite from these words, and said, Ryan, with your funds, if you find a suitable opportunity, you might make a difference in the Big Six companies.

Ryan Cavano certainly understands that the six major companies are the top existence in this industry, There are too few such opportunities.

Ronan said, The interior of the six major companies is not very stable, just wait patiently.

There are some things to stop, and I can't say too much now.

Ryan Cavano thought that Ronan wanted to unite him against the six major companies, and the funds in his hand gave him a certain amount of confidence, As long as the opportunity is right, I will not miss it.

He shook hands with Ronan and said goodbye Ronan, good luck.

Ronan smiled and said, I wish you and Maple Leaf Pictures a long journey.

The highest figures on both sides reached their intentions, and the actions below were also very fast.

The next day, a negotiating team from Maple Leaf Pictures took the initiative to find the Theory of Relativity Building, and started negotiations with Robert Lee's department on licensing the sequel to First Blood.
