Chapter 214 More cooperation
The fact that Embassy Film and DreamWorks Studio signed an animated feature film overseas distribution contract did not attract much attention in the circle. Looking at the entire Hollywood, Embassy Film and Television has a limited share, and it is almost over 2000, but it has released the movie "Human Purge 2".
Not to mention comparing with the distribution business of the six major companies, even the second-rate Hollywood Gramessi Pictures Company is not as good as that.
During this year, Embassy Film Company's energy has been focused on the production and distribution plans for Shahai Entertainment and Ronan, and the other part has been placed on the overseas distribution network.
Especially the latter, which can be regarded as the foundation of an issuing company. Only when the foundation is laid can the upper limit of future development be higher.
In addition to laying a solid foundation, we must also use the resources in our hands as much as possible, so that the company can have certain strength without attracting too many attention.
In the words of the previous life, it means to develop vulgarity and not to be slutty.
Fortunately, the main energy of the six major Hollywood companies is now focused on developing large-scale productions and expanding the international market. Even if they bet on the Hollywood industry, most of them are still on DreamWorks.
Few people think that a small company just founded by an unknown little man can surpass a behemoth like DreamWorks.
Luo Nan knew very well that the development of Relativity Entertainment to a certain stage will inevitably attract the attention of the six major companies, but he understood even more that before attracting the attention of the six major companies, Relativity Entertainment should have stronger strength.
The competition within Hollywood is nothing more than acquisitions, poaching people, grabbing projects and compressing issuance. Ronan has seen the general history of DreamWorks in his previous life. The six major companies have indeed suppressed and tacitly restricted the development of DreamWorks, but the methods used are not beyond the scope of business.
Ronan must give Relativity Entertainment a strong ability to resist strikes.
Just as countless actors and directors are working with DreamWorks, the six major companies cannot limit actors and directors at all. After all, this is not the era of a large studio. The actors signed contracts with entertainment agent companies, not studios.
As for the project, Ronan has already started preparing in advance.
With sufficient crew human resources, it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with the agency.
So, when Brewster sent a party invitation from Brian Lord on behalf of Caa, Ronan happily went to the appointment.
"Ronan, this is Brian Lord."
In the grand ballroom of Century City Hotel, Tom Cruise introduced Ronan: "Brian, this is Ronan."
This was a tall and strong bald man, who took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Ronan responded politely: "It's great to know you, Mr. Lord."
The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings. Tom Cruise saw Will Smith, said to Ronan, and went to Will Smith to discuss the great cause of conquering the stars and seas.
This reception party was held by Caa and invited many people to attend, including many of the contracted customers of Caa. After Ronan came in, he had already met Spielberg, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and others.
Even Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared at the cocktail party.
"Tom's friend is my friend." Brian Lord looked very generous: "It is my honor and a privilege to meet a young and promising friend like Mr. Anderson."
The other party was polite, and Ronan would not be rude. He smiled and said, "Ca has provided me with great help in the project "The Deadly Bend". Director Gilmo del Toro and those young actors are both excellent."
Brian Lord said politely: "It's good that you can help you. Ronan, when you encounter difficulties, if you need any help from Caa, please contact me."
Caa can achieve the highest position in entertainment brokerage business, so it is naturally unique.
Ronan smiled and said, "I won't be polite to you."
The reception officially began soon, and Brian Lord specially introduced several other agents of Caa to Ronan. Just as Ronan knew, the so-called parallel structure of Caa is just a declaration to the outside world. The status differences between brokers and brokers are quite different. Big agents like Brian Lord are actually the heads of the broker team. Each person has a large number of executive agents, and the stars in charge are also different.
The celebrity customers on Brian Lord include Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Madonna.
caa is recognized as the most influential brokerage firm in Hollywood.
However, there have been many problems in the past two years. The ex-Marloni committed suicide due to drug abuse, which has had a huge negative impact on the company.
Moreover, Hollywood has entered the era of media groups, and brokerage companies are weaker than before.
For example, caa has not grown much in its business in the past two years. The title of the overlord of the entertainment brokerage industry sounds scary, but its annual revenue is only more than 100 million US dollars, and its net profit is even lower. If you simply compare revenue and profit, even Ronan's Relativity Entertainment is not as good as.
The biggest capital of an entertainment brokerage company is that it has enough human resources in its hands.
Big directors, big stars, gold medal screenwriters and first-line photographers, etc., the role of these people in completing an excellent film is self-evident.
Bryan Lord took a walk in the banquet hall and met many agents and stars like Brad Pitt who had never dealt with before.
"Ronan, I don't need to introduce this person..."
Looking at the blonde woman standing next to Brian Lord, Ronan smiled and said hello: "Hello, Ms. Sicone, I am your fan."
I met the movie star and the director to talk to the movie fans, and I met the singer and the fans, with his age in his early twenties, there was no problem.
Madonna shook hands with Ronan: "I've heard of you, but I didn't expect you to be so young."
Ronan felt that Sister Mai's hand scratched his palm, and after shaking his hand, he stuffed a business card in it: "This is my private phone number."
After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at Ronan.
Brian Lord probably saw too many similar situations in Madonna, so it's no wonder.
Out of courtesy, Ronan took the business card but said nothing.
Madonna is a manly person and acts with men whenever she has disagreements. It is not only famous in the United States, but all over the world.
After putting away the business card, Ronan had no idea of making that phone call. A woman in her forties was not so heavy.
But Madonna's words reminded him of gossip circulating in the circle, especially the stories that must be told between Sister McGrady and the Chicago Trio.
Many people know the story between Madonna and Rodman. After all, the story described in Rodman's autobiography about him being gambling, after receiving a call from Madonna in heat, he quickly went to meet him, and then returned to the casino to continue the gambling game. It was too ostentatious.
Before Rodman, Madonna had also been associated with another Bulls superstar, Scott Pippen.
According to rumors in the circle, the Bulls' game is in progress, and Madonna has prepared the bathtub and sent a car to take the bathtub outside the Bulls' home court to wait for Pippen's drive.
Regarding the romantic encounter between the two comrades, Jordan's friend once revealed: Jordan was very envious at the time, and he also took the initiative to find Madonna to express his extraordinary ability, but was rejected by Madonna in person and questioned Jordan's ability...
Madonna is working hard enough for a happy life.
Brian Lord seemed to have something to say, and took Ronan to find a slightly quieter place.
"Ronan, I've been to Louisiana some time ago." Brian Lord said in a tactful manner: "I stayed on your "Deadly Bend" crew for a few days and found some problems."
Ronan asked: "What questions?"
Brian Lord bluntly said: "The temporary crew is not familiar with each other, and there are some problems with cooperation, such as the camera shots, which are sometimes inconsistent with director Toro's ideas, and the crew's management model is relatively backward. The service work of a team who cooperates with the filming is not done well, and these small details will affect the shooting."
"I know these problems too." Luo Nan spread his hands helplessly: "Shahai Entertainment really entered the theater movie industry in 1998. We are novices, lacking experience and background, and often we are exploring and learning."
Brian Lord said with a smile: "Ca can help you solve this problem. We can contact you with professional crew management talents, experts in various jobs, and even first-class directors, screenwriters, artists, props, photography, lighting and actors, which can be provided to your company."
He went further: "We can also provide projects for production companies."
Ronan knew that he was talking about packaging services and said, "Brian, do you have any projects? If you have one, you can recommend them to Shahai Entertainment."
There are many projects he can't remember, but they may be on the list of caa.
"Not yet." Brian Lord just proposed a cooperation model. Caa is a bit difficult at this stage and does not have many package groups in his hands: "If there is, I will notify you as soon as possible."
Ronan said sincerely: "I look forward to more in-depth cooperation with Caa."
Brian Lord said with a smile: "I look forward to more cooperation with you, too."
On the one hand, they lack human resources and resources, and on the other hand, they are good at matching human resources and resources, but they cannot get involved in film and television production. The two sides have a basis for cooperation.
After chatting for a while, a black female walked here and glanced at the location where Ronan and Brian Lord were. Brian Lord saw her and could not pretend to turn a blind eye, after all, she was a customer of the company.
Those who can come to this cocktail party are at least potential customers of Caa.
Ronan also saw the black female. Compared to Madonna just now, this person is definitely considered a heavyweight player.
The black female is not tall and as strong as a mountain of meat.
