The Best Entertainment Era

As the Disney plan is getting closer to completion, whether it is the negotiations between Robert Iger and Maple Leaf Pictures, or the acquisition negotiations between India-based Relativity Entertainment and Pixar Studios, everything is progressing very smoothly, and Ronan is also relieved. Take it easy.

With Thanksgiving coming, Ronan invited Jaina-Quan and her friends to the Future World Manor.

How should I put it, in short, it is to spend the festive season together and share delicious food.

After Jaina-Quan got the opportunity to play with Will Smith, she became more enthusiastic and caring. Ronan refused the invitation a few times because she was busy. She thought Ronan was not satisfied, so she went back to the number one country in the universe. Called a friend over.

Because of Jaina-Jeon's ready-made example here, the two friends of Jaina-Jeon, both enthusiastically and proactively devoted themselves to the enjoyment of the holiday.

Ronan also confirmed that what Gianna-Jeon said was basically true. The Korean beauty named Claudia Kim and the actor Sun Yizhen in English are not only outstanding in appearance, but also more recognizable. They are not printed in the same mold. Type, it is estimated that even if the knife is used, it is only fine-tuned like Scarlett Johansson and other Hollywood female stars.

In two days, Ronan turned into Mr. Chen and filmed a series of tragic events in the Korean entertainment industry...

In addition, the meeting place is completely controlled in the manor, so there is no need to worry about future worries.

After Thanksgiving, Ronan directly asked Jaina Quan to take the two Korean actresses to find Andrew, the deputy director of the production department of Sandsea Entertainment, and he would arrange suitable roles for the two.

Of course it won't be an important role, just a supporting actress in some scenes.

But it is enough for them to go back and start a wave of international movie star operations.

Ronan doesn't need to worry about this trivial matter. There are many film and television projects under Relativity Entertainment, and there are too many supporting roles like this that won't affect the whole.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, Taken 2 continued to be screened in North America, and received another US$31.87 million the following weekend.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday bonus during the period, the North American box office of the film easily exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative global box office also reached 232.08 million U.S. dollars.

At the same time, Human Purge 4, which was released before Halloween, was released in just five weeks, with a cumulative box office of 85.11 million US dollars in North America.

Although the overseas response was mediocre, more than 30 million U.S. dollars were recorded, and the global box office of the film has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars.

Since the production cost is only 8 million US dollars and the profit is very easy, the fifth part is naturally put on the production schedule.

Although the income of each of these low-cost horror films is not particularly high, each series that has been filmed and produced to reach a trilogy has contributed a net profit of 100 million yuan to Relativity Entertainment.

What's more, Relativity Entertainment now has several of these series.

Human Purge, Resident Evil, Fatal Turn, Reaper, Chain Saw...

The first film has been successful, and there are also Death Gone, Human Skin Inn and Dawn of the Dead that are being serialized.

There are also those that are ready to be included in the plan, such as the horror universe plan that Ronan and Wen Ziren talked about.

Just after going to work after the Thanksgiving holiday, Wen Ziren submitted a plan to Ronan. The plan only had a brief outline of the story, which involved multiple supernatural investigation stories of the Warrens. The names of the three series of film lists are called Latent, The Conjuring and Annabelle.

He plans to use these three films as the main line, and then conduct derivative divisions to create more related horror films.

Ronan approved the plan, and James Wan will be the series' producer.

In addition, Ronan also officially invited Wen Ziren to join Sandsea Entertainment and become a producer of Sandsea Entertainment just like Jessica Felton.

This is a well-paid position, not only enjoying the normal treatment of producers and directors, but also receiving a small amount of option rewards from Shahai Entertainment.

Wen Ziren fully deserves such a reward.

After a short consideration, Wen Ziren accepted Ronan's invitation.

For Chinese directors like Wen Ziren, this is not only a rise in income, but also a rapid increase in status.

This is Hollywood after all, and Chinese directors often have to work harder if they want to gain the same reputation as other directors.

But Ronan and Relativity Entertainment provided Wen Ziren with a shortcut.

Moreover, Relativity Entertainment has always provided a fair platform for all directors or producers, instead of making random decisions because of skin color or other circumstances.

For Wen Ziren at this stage, there is no more suitable choice than Relativity Entertainment.

This Chinese director with unlimited future value has officially become a member of the Relativity system, and will be tied to Relativity Entertainment for many years to come.

Ronan also believes that the commercial value that one Wen Ziren can bring exceeds ten ordinary Oscar nominees for best director.

Perhaps many people disdain purely commercial film directors like Wen Ziren, but look at the difficult situation of literary masters, it often takes several years to attract investment for a low-cost film, and look at commercial directors who always get big money. It is not difficult to see the common choice of Hollywood production companies.

Let Ronan choose Wen Ziren and David Lynch a thousand times, and Ronan will choose Wen Ziren every time.

This is not determined by personal preference, but by the position of the buttocks.

Wen Ziren devoted himself to the script creation of Horror Universe with full motivation, and he first chose Latent.

According to Wen Ziren's plot setting, although the Warrens will not be the absolute protagonists of Latent, they will also have a heavyweight role in it, which will lead to the later The Conjuring.

Even Wen Ziren is still thinking about how to link the supernatural investigation about the Warrens with Chain Saw.

In this way, the influence of Chain Saw can be used to warm up and promote new horror films.

In addition, Wen Ziren will also spare time next year to direct the filming of several episodes of American Horror Story.

For this kind of newly launched series, it is very important to have Wen Ziren as the director in the first season to establish word of mouth.

Wen Ziren is indeed unique in horror themes.

From after Thanksgiving to mid-December, in addition to Wen Ziren's Universe of Horror plan, Ronan also approved several film and television drama project plans.

In terms of TV series, Shameless, which has already obtained the copyright, has officially started preparations.

In terms of film projects, after the large-scale script about teddy bears was completed, Ronan approved the project, and the name was also determined to be Teddy Bear.

This will be a very large-scale comedy.

At the same time, Slumdog Millionaire, which has already finished writing the script, officially approved the project. Sandhai Entertainment started contact with Danny Boyle, who directed Trainspotting. Disaster.

Neil Blomkamp, ​​the special effects director of James Cameron's Avatar crew, after completing a stage of work, officially handed over the work with the crew. He came to Los Angeles from Wellington to prepare for a new phase of his career. Feature film, District 9, adapted from his short film Alien in Johannesburg!

Ronan had another long talk with Neil Blomkamp and approved the project. Compared with the large investment and production of traditional science fiction films, the budget of Ninth District is only 30 million US dollars.

This also determines that director Neil Blomkamp must save money and shoot in the form of a pseudo-documentary.

Marvel Entertainment's film plans are also progressing. When Joss Whedon's Hulk is about to start filming, preparations for Thor have also begun, and related work on Captain America ​​is also in progress.

Animated feature production is progressing steadily, with Ronan giving the green light to Shahai Entertainment Animation Studios' new eye-catching, eponymous adaptation of How To Tamed My Dragon.

At the same time, Chris Leonard also submitted another brand-new project to Ronan, an animated feature film project adapted from the famous children's storybook The Story of Old Lace.

Ronan remembered that he had seen such an animated film, coupled with the popularity of the original work and the growing maturity of the Shahai Entertainment animation studio team, he also approved this project.

Sandsea Entertainment Animation Studio also pursues low-investment original works in this project. In the production plan submitted by Chris Leonard, the production budget is only 60 million US dollars.

Moreover, the target audience group of the film is also very clear, that is, children under the age of twelve.

If the interest of this group of people can be aroused, each child audience will bring a family group.

Originally, Ronan also found a children's comic called Six Heroes from Marvel comics, but the style of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio obviously didn't match Dabai, so he had to suppress it temporarily.

Relativity Entertainment is poaching the corner of Disney Animation Studios, preparing to set up a new animation department that shoots traditional truth, goodness and beauty. Dabai is more suitable for their style.

And those new types of princess movies.

That's the princess project.

The princess of the new era can no longer wait for the prince to save her, let alone become the prince's subordinate, she should have a stronger personality.

There is no doubt that it is difficult for Relativity Entertainment to make a breakthrough in this area, after all, it lacks sufficient accumulation, and poaching is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Regarding Disney’s plan, every step is closely related. After joining a new force, Disney’s interior will be more turbulent. In addition, Disney Animation Studio lacks the assistance of Pixar Studios, and it will be more difficult to revive it. This will make the theory of relativity There are many opportunities for poaching in entertainment.

Even a whole animation production team can be dug up.

Those classic animated feature films have created the glory of Disney, and Disney is firmly guarding it, but digging out the blood of Disney Animation Studio, how many more years will it take for Disney to restore the glory of animation production?

After one part, it may fall behind step by step, and then sink.

This has played out many times in Hollywood, which was originally more than just the Big Six!

A few days before the upcoming Disney shareholder meeting, there is finally good news that Relativity Entertainment and Maple Leaf Pictures have reached a final agreement.
