The Best Entertainment Era

Relativity Entertainment has repeatedly clashed with the traditional forces of Hollywood, but the traditional big companies in Hollywood are also facing many problems. In addition, Ronan's strategy is not a complete confrontation, and he has many cooperations with Warner Bros., which is currently the most powerful. Brothers are targeted, but mainly small actions behind the scenes.

The real confrontation with Relativity Entertainment is actually the 20th Century Fox family.

The reason is that the two parties have irreconcilable contradictions in major interests.

Ronan also always felt that the things that Finch and Nikia occasionally reminded him of seeming to disappear recently might have something to do with 20th Century Fox.

There is indeed no evidence. Even if Finch's people went to England, nothing has been found for the time being.

But this kind of thing is too similar to the behavior style of News Corporation in Ronan's memory.

Marvel Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, is biting 20th Century Fox on X-Men and Fantastic Four.

Connie said: Because of our relationship, Twentieth Century Fox has established many first-line major projects. Roland Emmerich's Ten Thousand Years Before History and the new film that Ridley Scott is preparing are named It is said that Pharaoh and the Gods and Robin Hood are about to be approved, 20th Century Fox intends to hire British director Guy Ritchie to direct, and invite Oscar winner Russell Crowe to play Robin Hood.

Ronan pinched his chin and said, Twentieth Century Fox has poached many of our projects.

Maybe add Superstorm to it?

But this disaster film is different from the other three. The storm disaster film has a market in North America. As long as it is filmed well, it will be a big hit at the box office. It is still possible to achieve the results of The Day After Tomorrow.

In Ronan's eyes, the biggest uncertainty in the project is Julian Simpson.

Probably just like Kingdom of Heaven, Twentieth Century Fox has far more confidence in the producer-centered system than ordinary people. It just regards the director as the director of the set shooting, and other problems can be solved by the producer.

Having said that, this may have something to do with James Cameron and Titanic. When James Cameron and 20th Century Fox hurt each other, it is estimated that 20th Century Fox was fed up with powerful directors. The film projects are limiting the director's power.

Thinking of James Cameron,

Ronan suddenly had an idea.

Twentieth Century Fox has stretched out its hand. How can a good person like himself not give a gift to his good neighbor?

Both Relativity Entertainment and 20th Century Fox are located in Century City. The two office buildings are far away from each other. They are definitely the closest neighbors to Hollywood.

There is an old saying on the other side of the Pacific that a close neighbor is not as good as a distant relative!

Neighbors, we can't stay away from each other forever, either help each other or hurt each other.

Facing Twentieth Century Fox, Ronan felt that Relativity Entertainment had to be a good neighbor.

Hmm... good neighbor surnamed Wang or something.

Such honest and reliable good neighbors are rare in Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan asked: I remember the film Terminator 3, James Cameron served as a producer?

Connie's position determined that she had to know enough information. After thinking about it for a while, she said: It's not the producer, it's James Cameron on the screenwriter list, but in fact James Cameron Anne Heard was invited to provide a few ideas, and it was Michael Phyllis and John Bricato who actually wrote the script.

Ronan nodded slowly. It is understandable that James Cameron and one of his ex-wives, Anne Heard, can make full use of the huge reputation and influence of Terminator 2 to continue to attract movie fans into theaters.

In addition, James Cameron is also known to be very friendly to his ex-wife.

They hurt each other when they got married, and even got into trouble with each other, but they can be good friends after divorce.

What about the copyright situation? Ronan asked emphatically, Especially the sequel filming copyright.

Just like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series, the Terminator series can also be regarded as one of the most complicated big-budget films in Hollywood.

Anne Hurd integrated the copyrights of the Terminator series back then, and only then did the filming of Terminator 2 come about. Connie said while recalling: When Terminator 2 was released, the copyright of the series also came to the card. Locke Films and 20th Century Fox, the distributor. Later, Carlock Films went bankrupt and was acquired by Sony Columbia Pictures, but the copyright of Terminator was integrated by 20th Century Fox.

She put it simply and clearly: In 2000, Warner Bros. joined forces with 20th Century Fox and Middleman Pictures under Sony Entertainment to jointly fund and produce Terminator 3. If I remember correctly, after Terminator 3 , The filming copyright of the sequel was authorized by Tom Rothman of Twentieth Century Fox to Warner Bros., but if Twentieth Century Fox wants to start this series, it can pay Warner Bros. a certain copyright fee and take back the filming rights of the sequel.”

This is not much different from Ronan's understanding, but Ronan wanted to confirm the answer and said, Go and check it out, and then we'll talk about it after we're sure.

Connie left the office.

Ronan stood by the window of the office, looking at the Fox Building not far away, a good neighbor of Relativity Entertainment.

James Cameron's Terminator series is famous. If the first film can only be regarded as an alternative cut film, the second film is a real top-level sci-fi production. It even changed Hollywood to a certain extent through special effects technology. special effects production.

A few years later, in the special effects production of Jurassic Park, which broke almost all records, Spielberg almost copied the special effects and prop production team of Terminator 2.

Terminator 2 is undoubtedly a classic among the classics, leaving countless classic pictures and lines. The governor's last thumb up is one of the most famous movie shots in the 1990s.

But James Cameron mentioned more than once at the beginning of the filming and production of the Terminator 2 series that this series will be completely over in the second part, and there is no room for a tail or re-creation of the story.

As a director, James Cameron can end a popular series. After all, Carlock Films did not expect Terminator 2 to be so successful.

How could it be possible for a Hollywood film company to watch such a lucrative series come to an end?

Therefore, Terminator 3 was shot and released as a matter of course.

Fans of the series rejoiced at first, only to realize after the film's release that this wasn't the Terminator they wanted.

Terminator 3 drove high and low, not only failed to achieve the expected commercial results, but consumed the trust and expectations of movie fans.

But this film ultimately made the producers money.

Of course, the series that can make money must be filmed.

Once upon a time, there was one Terminator after another, and then one was worse than the other.

After all, James Cameron's exit and Terminator 3 are actually the key.

From Ronan's point of view, it's too risky to shoot a sequel, not to say that there are no audiences to support this series, such a huge proposition, with Terminator 2 and James Cameron's second near-ended series ahead , leaving little room for latecomers to play.

In addition to this series of special effects, it is determined that a large investment and large production must be made, and extensive market support is required.

And what about the audience? After gorgeous special effects have become a daily routine in Hollywood and people are used to the setting of the doomsday future of human society, what does the Terminator series use to attract people?

In fact, James Cameron is a smart guy.

At the beginning, no matter how tempted the production company was, even if it offered a sky-high price, it still refused to direct Terminator 3.

I'm afraid he himself knows that even if he goes into battle in person, the result may not be too good.

Now with the large-scale consumption of trust value of Terminator 3, even if James Cameron makes another Terminator 4, the failure may not only be the audience's reputation and trust.

But Hollywood film companies are different. As long as this series of films can make money, it is very likely to shoot the next one until all the value is squeezed out.

In the past, Ronan, including him, had many die-hard fans after Terminator 2, who were unwilling to admit that the films starting from the third part were still Terminator, thinking that the second part was all over, and the following Those unscrupulous works that are purely money-making.

Even, in the back, many people will be very disgusted when they hear the new Terminator movie.

Connie returned to the office quickly and said, I just checked, and it's pretty sure.

Ronan thought for a while and said, Well, let someone send a letter to Warner Bros., asking if they can transfer the filming rights of the sequels of the Terminator series to Shahai Entertainment.

Connie said, Okay.

Ronan added: Find a few suitable executives and disclose the news to the media, saying that I intend to take over the Terminator series and create a new sequel.

This kind of thing has almost no cost, and the effect is of course the best, and it doesn’t matter if there is no effect: “Send a letter to the governor’s office and ask about the possibility of Arnold Schwarzenegger continuing to star in the Terminator series in the future. Let someone find The savior back then and his mother...

Ronan didn't remember the names for a while, but Connie reminded, Edward Furlong and Linda Hamilton.

Yes, it's them. Ronan said: Let someone go to them and ask them if they would like to return to the Terminator series.

Connie said, I'll arrange for someone to do it.

Ronan warned: Treat everything as if it is real, don't be high-profile, and don't deliberately low-key, just let the media notice.

I understand. This small operation is relatively easy in Connie's hands: I will communicate with Robert. If he comes forward in person, the persuasion will be stronger.

Ronan nodded slightly: Yes.

Connie asked: I have nothing else to do, I went out to make arrangements.

Ronan waved his hand, waited for Connie to leave, and then looked at the Fox Building. If in a short period of two or three years, 20th Century Fox's big-budget movies broke out one after another, would there be a crisis?
