Chapter 1009 Police and Bandit Theme
The establishment of Princess Studio is still short. Even if "Frozen" is officially launched, there will be no animated feature films in a short period of time, but Pixar Studio and Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio have animated feature films completed.
According to the Embassy Pictures plan, Pixar Studio has two animated feature films released this year, namely "Ratat King" and "Car Month".
Among them, the latter is the focus. Embassy Film has done a lot of preparations, and the budget for publicity and distribution alone is as high as US$120 million.
"Car Mobilization" is also one of the key profit projects of future Relativity Entertainment, and its investment priority is even far higher than "Rat King" and "Robot Wall Li" in production.
At Ronan's request, the budget of "Robot Wall" has been compressed as much as possible.
Embassy Pictures has also done a lot of targeted work, believing that the peripheral development of this animated feature film is not optimistic.
At least it is more than three levels different than "Automan Mobilization".
Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is making steady progress. Last year, the market of "Miniolo" exploded, "Despicable Me 2" has not been completed yet, and the one that launched on the market this year is "Kung Fu Panda".
Although many oriental elements such as pandas are used, no matter what, this is a Hollywood-style animated film dressed in an oriental guise.
Totally different from Pixar Studios' style, Kung Fu Panda is a simple and relaxed animated feature film.
In addition, when the production of "Kung Fu Panda" was completed, China Film Group took the initiative to request the introduction, and passed the review without cutting.
This is quite rare for today's Hollywood movies.
Next is "Peppa Pig". Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is still launched at the rate of one season every year. The series playback itself cannot generate much revenue, but the total annual revenue of peripheral channels has been more than US$500 million in recent years, and has increased rapidly with an annual growth rate of more than 15%.
Shahai Entertainment is also planning to produce other animation series to collect materials from all over the world.
After leaving Shahai Entertainment, Ronan did not return to his office, and left the Relativity Building. He came to the Pacific Investment Foundation not far away and received the Swedish Silver Ruida Investment Group who came to inspect. After a brief meeting, he also held a special banquet to entertain the group.
Swedish Silver Ruida Investment Group intends to cooperate with the Pacific Investment Foundation, and the initial investment amount may be more than US$500 million.
The main reason why it attracted this large investment group from Nordic is that Netflix Network is preparing to raise funds to expand its shares this year. With the advantages of Relativity Entertainment, the Pacific Investment Foundation has obtained the opportunity to invest in Netflix Network. Netflix Network has been rapidly rising its market value, attracting investors from all over the world.
However, Netflix Network's investment entry threshold is extremely high.
With financing and expanding shares, Relativity Entertainment's shares are inevitably diluted, but they still have absolute control rights. Moreover, the entry of the Pacific Investment Foundation is also conducive to Relativity Entertainment's continued control of the situation.
To be honest, Netflix's online financing and stock expansion was also because it was too harsh in spending money. Last year, Netflix spent nearly one billion dollars on customizing exclusive dramas.
There are also various promotions that attract customers.
Netflix's stock price is indeed rising all the way, but it is also a fact that it is burning money crazy.
If Netflix Network is supported by Relativity Entertainment alone, it will not only drag down Relativity Entertainment, but it will definitely greatly drag down the development speed of Relativity Entertainment.
Now, many shareholders have jointly supported Netflix's high stock price, and are about to create a superstar company with a total market value of 100 billion US dollars.
Relativistic Entertainment has made great profits in the development of Netflix Network with its strong production capabilities and publicity and promotion capabilities. All Netflix Network's customized dramas come from Shahai Entertainment.
Swedish Silver Ruida Investment Group and Pacific Investment Fund both intend to cooperate, and the dinner was also harmonious, and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
The details will be discussed in detail by Scott Swift and the other party.
After the dinner ended, when Ronan left the hotel, he met Taylor Swift who was driving to pick up Scott.
"Good evening, Uncle Anderson."
When he got out of the car, Taylor Swift greeted Ronan very politely and pointed to his Mercedes-Benz: "Do you want me to take you there?"
Ronan declined, "No need, pick up my car and come right away."
Taylor Swift didn't say much and waved his hand: "Goodbye, Uncle Anderson."
Scott also waved his hand and got in the car one after another with Taylor.
Taylor Swift drove away skillfully, and the black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over and stopped in front of Ronan.
Ronan got into the car, looked at the time, and dialed the top-up phone number: "Where is now?"
Jessica Felton's voice came from the earpiece: "The company is working overtime."
Ronan asked, "Are you getting off work soon? I'll go over and pick you up."
A vague sound of typing the keyboard came from the receiver, followed by Jessica Felton's speech: "I'll leave after reading this manuscript, where are you?"
Ronan said: "Just leave the hotel."
"Well, I should be faster than you." Jessica Felton said: "I'll wait for you at the door of the company. Okay, let's talk about it when we meet, I'll hurry up."
Ronan responded, hung up the phone, and said to David, "Go to the company."
Ten minutes later, Ronan returned to the entrance of the Relativity Building and received Jessica Felton, who got into the car with a large file bag.
Finch on the co-pilot was very consciously lifted up to the baffle.
Ronan took the file bag, placed it on the handrail in the middle of the back row, grabbed Jessica Felton's hand, kissed it gently, and asked, "I'm so busy?"
Jessica Felton is a Latino, and he is naturally passionate and unrestrained. His past energy has not been focused on this aspect, and has gradually been released recently.
She ignored the faint smell of Ronan's wine, came over and kissed Ronan hard, and said, "I have a few friends who handed over several scripts to me. I have to be busy with the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4" during the day, so I can only take time to watch it at night."
"Have you met a good one?" Ronan asked.
Jessica Felton took the file bag, opened it and handed the copy of the script to Ronan: "Do you remember what I told you? Lindsay and I once participated in a feminist organization, which was handed over to me by one of the senior members. She believes that this script can reflect the feminist spirit to a certain extent."
The two of them sat together not about love, but about work. This pattern of getting along was very natural for Ronan and Jessica Felton. This way they have been together in the past ten years.
In fact, apart from the further relationship, the two people have not changed much in their daily relationship.
Ronan opened the script and quickly browsed the first ten pages.
Jessica Felton said: "The script author is a young female screenwriter named Katie Deppard. This is the first time she has completed the script independently. It has been written for about two years and has never found a buyer."
This is the most common situation in Hollywood, and very few of the first works of new screenwriters can be sold.
Ronan read it quickly and quickly determined a few points: "The police and gangster themes tend to be comedy and drug-killing types, and the villain is Russian."
"The protagonist is two female policewomen." Jessica Felton has carefully read the script: "The police and gangster types with a certain comedy color, whether in terms of the plot theme or the character setting, are very consistent with Hollywood's consistent success mode."
She thought about it and said, "I was on the phone with Katie DiPod. According to her, she had the idea of creating after watching Michael Mann's "The Story of Fire."
Ronan thought of "The Story of Fire" and said: "This movie not only imitates the robbers as textbooks to rob banks, but also inspires a large number of people to inspire creative inspiration in the film industry."
Jessica Felton laughed: "Katie DiPod is different. She can't stand the dull atmosphere of "The Story of Fire" and the slow pace. The serious and boring two old men are absolutely written. She definitely wrote a script with a police and gangster theme with a completely opposite style, so this script was created."
Ronan nodded: "The two female policewomen, the fat female policewomen who are full of swearing, creates a comedy atmosphere in contrast with the serious partner, and the fast pace of flying. Just looking at the script has a completely different style from "The Story of Fire"."
To be honest, in addition to that realistic classical gun battle, the long literary drama of "The Story of Fire" can make people fall asleep dullly.
This script is much more streamlined than "The Story of Fire" content. It is like two female policewomen with the opposite styles going to hunt down the Russian drug lord together.
Jessica Felton said: "What do you think?"
This is Ronan's power category. After thinking about it for a while, he returned the script to Jessica Felton and said: "You can buy the script. This kind of theme is in line with the current social development trend and there should be a certain market. However, Jessie must control the cost and make the production budget as much as possible within US$30 million."
Jessica Felton put the script away and said, "I get it."
The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped at this time, Jessica Felton got off the car first, and Ronan followed.
Ronan glanced at Jessica Felton's villa and said, "Don't you invite me in and sit?"
Jessica Felton held the file bag, looked at Ronan with his head tilted, and finally nodded slowly: "Come on."
She opened the door and walked forward first, and Luo Nan followed.
Entering the small villa, Jessica Felton begins with bright lights illuminating the living room of the villa. Ronan was a little surprised. The living room was neat and orderly, which was completely different from the same style as Jessica Felton's home in my impression.
"What's wrong?" Jessica Felton asked.
Ronan smiled and said, "Remember when we first met..."
"Stop!" The relationship between the two is different after all, Jessica Felton has the urge to cover her face: "Ronan, stop mentioning those things, okay?"
Ronan followed her words and said, "I want to say that when I first met, I felt that you were different and left an indelible impression on me."
Jessica Felton believes that he has a ghost, but everyone likes to hear such words: "Really?"
"Of course." Ronan walked up to her: "If you don't believe me, you can touch your chest and swear."
Jessica Felton suddenly widened his eyes: "Hey, what are you doing when you touch my chest..."
