Chapter 111 I wish you success

In just over a dozen minutes, Daniel McLeak's impression of Ronan changed drastically: this man was simply a profiteer!

Recalling the various attacks I have suffered recently, I suddenly felt inexplicable fear.

"Mr. Anderson," Daniel Melic asked, "Did you arrange those media events specifically?"

Ronan looked at Daniel McLeak with a strange look and said, "When we negotiated, there were regulations on media activities. I was fulfilling the contract."

Daniel McLeaker's fear was increasing when he thought of the terms on the contract: Did Ronan Anderson plan everything now when he bought this video? That was terrible.

Ronan said again: "My company and I respect the spirit of the contract and we are conscientiously fulfilled every clause in the contract."

Daniel McLeak wanted to get back to the bad situation and said, "I want to call a press conference, I want to reveal everything!"

Ronan smiled but did not answer.

Daniel McLeak can only say this. In the past few days, he has argued in front of the media more than once, but he has not been able to change the direction of public opinion at all.

The slander was thrown away and then put on the head by the media and movie fans.

They are all the talk show, admitting in front of the media that the entire plan comes from itself.

"Let's just be here today." Ronan didn't want to get involved with Daniel McLeek, so he politely said to see him off: "I'll have a chance to drive next."

Daniel McLeak has not given up yet, and he has to calm down his mind. He said: "I have a new movie plan. I originally wanted to cooperate with your company, but Mr. Anderson's attitude makes me..."

Ronan directly raised his hand and interrupted him: "You can go to other partners."

"I..." Daniel McLeak didn't know what to say.

I just had a movie in North America with a box office of over 100 million yuan, so you just refused? Didn’t Hollywood succeed in chasing it?

Ronan remembered something, opened the drawer and took out a video tape, and pushed it to Daniel McLeak: "This is your video tape, take it back."

Daniel McLeak looked down at the videotape, then looked up at Ronan, making sure Ronan really had no interest in his words.

Picking up the videotape, Daniel McLeak glanced at Ronan deeply: "There will be someone in Hollywood to work with me!"

Ronan smiled: "I wish you a successful new film."

Looking at the sincere smile, Daniel McLeak felt powerless and turned around and walked out of the office.

Ronan pinched his chin: It seems that I look like a villain. Daniel McLeak is the hero waiting for a counterattack. Unfortunately, he has never read online novels on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, otherwise he would have said a few words that would be more appropriate for Hedong and Hexi.

It is not suitable not to bully young people and the like, such as poor, after all, they are in their thirties.

Ronan certainly knew that with the success of "The Witch Blair", Daniel McLeak could easily find a partner company.

Even if Daniel McLeak doesn't have to look for it, a film company will come to you on his own initiative.

Chasing success is a rule that Hollywood will never change.

Ronan did not consider Daniel McLeak anymore. The two sides would not cooperate in the future. He carefully handled the work at hand and then went to Warner Studios for a walk. The two crews of "The Death is Coming" and "Ace Agents" have been completed and have entered the post-production stage.

During this period, Ronan received a long-distance call from Europe. Carmen Cath would come to Los Angeles in a while to participate in an event Dior in Los Angeles and agreed to meet him.

Just this year, Carmen Cath won the endorsement of Dior's new True Self series perfume and became the first spokesperson of this perfume.

Ronan also knows about this perfume, because Charlize Theron has endorsed this perfume for more than ten years in his previous life, and every South African diamond advertisement is gorgeous and beautiful.

Carmen Cath undoubtedly joined the ranks of supermodels by being able to get Dior's endorsement.

Just as actors and celebrities are two completely different existences, models and supermodels are also very different.

Carmen Keth left a good impression on Ronan during several meetings in Los Angeles last year, but as a traditional model, Carmen Keth's career center is undoubtedly in Europe.

Ronan didn't think much about this, and he didn't put much thought into it at this stage.

After walking around the two crews, Ronan found George and asked him to contact Robert Lu Delun again to see if he could solve the copyright issues of the books "Born's Hegemony" and "Born's Ultimatum".

Robert Lu Delun has been in poor health and refuses to talk to others about copyright. This is the most troublesome problem.

Ronan is not afraid that they will offer high prices, but he will not be willing to negotiate, so it will be more difficult.

"Blair the Witch" was a great success. When the box office share is paid, the funds in hand will be much more abundant. We must obtain the film and television rights of those two books as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be a greater price to talk about "Borne's Identity" after it was released.

George Clint has always kept in touch with Robert Lu Delun's lawyer and publisher. Perhaps he is particularly stubborn when he grows old. Robert Lu Delun ignores copyright information from the outside world.

Maybe he has to wait for Robert Lu Delun to die and discuss with his copyright entrustment party.

…………

Daniel McLeak returned to the hotel and dealt with the inquiries of several people in the crew. After entering the room, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. His movie was sold for so much money, but he was unable to share it.

The phone suddenly rang, and after he answered it, he said a few words, and his tired eyes suddenly shone brightly.

The person who called was a senior executive at DreamWorks, who wanted to ask him to talk.

Daniel McLeak did not hesitate and made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby. He changed his suit and tidied up his hair before going to the appointment.

In the hotel lobby, he met Susan Arnold, the producer of DreamWorks.

"Hello, Director McLeak." Susan Arnold shook hands with Daniel McLeak: "Congratulations on your big sale."

Hearing this, Daniel McLeak's face darkened, and soon returned to normal, saying, "Thank you."

After a few polite words from Susan Arnold, he quickly turned to the topic: "The Witch Blair" was released and ended successfully. I wonder if director McLeak has a new shooting plan?"

Daniel McLeak immediately heard it, DreamWorks was interested in him!

"I plan to make another horror movie." Although Daniel McLeak encountered a setback in Ronan, the success of "The Witch Blair" gave him great confidence: "There is a script framework at present."

Videos of the same type are easier to replicate successfully. Susan Arnold knew this very well and asked: "Do you have a partner? If not, DreamWorks can help you."

Daniel McLeak said: "I don't have a partner."

Susan Arnold is a little strange: "Embassy Pictures hasn't continued working with you?"

Most film companies often maintain long-term cooperation with successful directors. They originally thought that Daniel McLeak would continue to cooperate with Embassy Films, and it would take some effort to poach.

Unexpectedly, this is the situation.

"I don't want to work with them anymore." Daniel McLeak didn't hide it: "Ronan Anderson, the head of the Embassy Films, was too overbearing."

The success of "Blair the Witch" has brought Daniel McLeak into the sight of many Hollywood companies, and no one really attaches importance to negative media reports. Just like those directors who have achieved great success, DreamWorks, which continues to expand the market, has taken the lead in extending an olive branch.

Susan Arnold is responsible for the business of horror thriller movies at DreamWorks. He has just completed "Ghost Invasion" and is ready to make a new project.

At present, she has roughly two plans. One is to take a fancy to a Japanese horror film and prepare to win the copyright remake; the other is Daniel McLeek, the director of "The Witch Blair".

Because "Ghost Invasion" and "Blair Witch" had a head-on confrontation on the market, Susan Arnold carefully studied "Blair Witch". The new shooting method and promotional marketing methods are unusual. They operate in the same mode and can completely replicate the success of "Blair Witch".

Susan Arnold heard that Daniel McLeak had a conflict with Embassy Pictures. In order to confirm this, he asked: "Can you take the liberty to ask, between you and Embassy Pictures..."

DreamWorks is very intimidating, at least it is much stronger than Ronan's company.

Daniel McLeak wanted to grab the other party's hand, and if he was bored, he needed to find someone to talk to him. He simply said: "Blair Witch sold more than 100 million US dollars in box office. Ronan Anderson only gave me 80,000 US dollars in copyright fees and 50,000 US dollars in box office bonus, but he enjoyed the rest of the income!"

Susan Arnold understood as soon as he heard this, this is a typical uneven distribution of spoils.

The director cannot be allowed to cooperate with Embassy Pictures again. Susan Arnold immediately had an idea and said: "Let me find a professional lawyer to sue Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures, and drag the lawsuit down. As long as it can be delayed for a period of time, most Hollywood companies will choose to settle out of court."

"Good solution." Daniel McLeak seemed to have found the backbone: "Can you introduce me to a professional lawyer?"

Susan Arnold smiled beautifully: "No problem, DreamWorks will do its best to help partners."

Daniel McLeak nodded heavily: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Susan Arnold said the preconditions calmly: "Director McLeak, since you have a new film plan, can you complete the script as soon as possible? In this way, I can also promote your project at DreamWorks."

She paused for a moment and added: "Success can make Ronan Anderson regret his stinginess!"
