The two people coming towards him are obviously a couple. Needless to say, Charlize Theron is the heroine whom Ronan personally finalized for the film. Not only did he meet, but he also talked about it once when signing the contract.

Another man is a little unfamiliar.

"Hi, Sally." Will Smith took the initiative to greet, "Didn't you go back?"

Charlize Theron's voice was a little hoarse: "It's rare to get off work early today, and this place was temporarily blocked by the crew. I can enjoy this scenery well."

She looked at Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."

Ronan shook hands with her: "Call me Ronan."

Charlize Theron smiled and quickly introduced the man next to him: "This is my boyfriend Stewart Townsend."

Ronan shook hands with him: "I'm glad to know you."

Stewart Townsend quickly said, "So too."

Ronan is still familiar with Charlize Theron, the famous South African diamond, and just recalls it with a little recollection. Stewart Townsend seems to be the boyfriend who has been talking to Charlize Theron for nearly ten years.

Of course, like most famous actresses in Hollywood, Charlize Theron later had many ex-boyfriends.

Ronan still remembers that in the last time, there were rumors on the Internet that Charlize Theron got together with the famous scumbag Brad Pitt and even wanted to get engaged. The one who brought the two was Charlize Theron's ex-boyfriend Sean Pan.

Although it is a gossip news circulating online, it is difficult for people outside to tell the truth about the falsehood, but it is enough to illustrate the chaos in the emotional world of Hollywood.

Having said that, Charlize Theron seems to like scumbags very much.

People like Sean Penn and Stewart Townsend have no good reputation.

"When I first came over, I heard you were talking about Oscars?" Charlize Theron asked with a smile.

Will Smith shrugged slightly and half-jokingly said, "We are discussing how to win several Oscars."

Charlize Theron asked with concern: "Is this "Evil in the People"?"

Ronan would not give people unrealistic fantasies, and shook his head and said, "No, it's another project."

Will Smith said: "If you want to win an Oscar, you still have to make a reality biopic." He was very familiar with Charlize Theron and said: "Sally, you, and actors like me, if you want to win an Oscar, you can't go the ordinary way."

Charlize Theron said with a smile: "Oscar is too far from me."

Looking back now, I shouldn’t have dyed my hair golden back then.

Stewart Townsend responded: "Sally, even without an Oscar, you are the best."

These words made Charlize Theron very helpful and laughed very happily.

Luo Nan shook his head secretly, it seemed that these two people are in true love now.

To be precise, the status and fame of these two people are not much different now, so there will naturally be no problem when they get along. When the woman is strong and the man is weak, perhaps inexplicable self-esteem and other things will come out to cause trouble.

By the way, it seems that Stewart Townsend also played a very important role in that "Shock from Heaven".

The former Stewart Townsend has never really gotten up, and it is probably directly related to the failure of this film.

"It seems that I'm going to find a suitable film to make an Oscar." Charles Theron sounded like he was joking.

But Ronan knew that she should be serious.

Although Charlize Theron's acting skills are not very good, the key to winning the Oscar Performance Award is not the acting skills.

Like the rubber man Christian Bale, Charlize Theron is a female balloon man. He gained a few dozen pounds and then lost weight. He did it once or twice.

And similar to Oscar winners, Charlize Theron is a veritable bold and unrestrained person on the screen. From the beginning of entering Hollywood to the later generations, he has always been the one who dares to take off and leak.

Those who often watch movies starring Charlize Theron can even tell you how many moles there are on the chest of the South African American Diamond.

The four of them chatted by the river for a while. The crew had already packed up the temporary set, returned to the car and returned to the hotel they checked in.

The next day, Ronan went to Marvel Comics and visited Avi Arad in person.

Although "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are sold online and offline, Marvel can get a small share of the share, but there has not been any effective improvement in the current situation of Marvel Comics.

The most valuable son, Marvel Comics, sold cleanly in the 1990s.

The godsons who are of much value are quite different, but they are somewhat famous are packaged directly by Ronan and Shahai Entertainment.

The rest are characters whose uncles don’t love grandmas. Even if "Spider-Man" is a super big hit and has a global box office of $800 million, no one is interested in it.

Even mortgage loans to banks and financial institutions are despised as lacking in value.

"Can we discuss something?"

In the office, Avi Arad said to Ronan very seriously: "It is good for both of us."

Ronan said politely: "Avi, we are old friends, even if you say it."

Avi Arad tentatively said: "Ronan, the board of directors has been putting pressure on me recently to buy back the copyright of the superhero that I sold before."

Hearing this, Ronan immediately guessed what Avi Arad was going to say.

Sure enough, Avi Arad glanced at him and said, "Can Marvel buy back the superhero copyright that was sold to you before?"

He specifically emphasized: "Marvel can add 10% based on the original transaction price..."

Ronan was unmoved at all.

Avi Arad seemed to see this and temporarily increased his chips: "Add another fifteen percent!"

Marvel Comics has talked to the copyright owner about copyrights such as the Hulk and Fantastic Four, but the adaptation of the movies of Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox is underway, and it is impossible to reclaim the copyright.

The copyright of the first-line son cannot be obtained, so his eyes naturally fell on the second-line godsons.

Shahai Entertainment packed more than 30 superhero characters and other characters that matched them at once, almost swept away the copyrights of Marvel Comics' slightly more famous characters. Not to mention adapted movies, no one cares about the copyrights of the remaining little fish and shrimps.

For example, a superhero movie adaptation, the buyer is willing to spend a lot of money, and what he wants is the popularity of the original work and the fan base.

If there was no such great fame created by the comics, could the "Spider-Man" movie be as popular as it is now?

"The contract we signed at the beginning does not include the repurchase clause." Ronan directly refused: "Shahai Entertainment is also planning a movie adaptation."

Avi Arad said: "You can't say that. Ronan, think about it, the risk of adapting a movie is huge, and no one can guarantee success. As for repurchases, you don't need to do anything and you don't have to bear any risks. Just sign a repurchase contract, and the original investment can bring 15% of the profits, which is huge profits!"

Ronan shook his head: "I am the most trustworthy person, and I must abide by the contract. Moreover, I don't like to give up halfway through doing things. Marvel Comics is in a bad condition, which is well known. Therefore, let the risks you take should be left to Shahai Entertainment."

Avi Arad felt that his face was thick-skinned enough when he proposed a buyback. Unexpectedly, Ronan spoke so well.

"We can discuss the repurchase price again." Avi Arad did not give up. Even if Ronan did not come to him today, he would go to Los Angeles to talk to Shahai Entertainment after Christmas: "Ronan, can you think about it again?"

Of course, Ronan would not consider repurchasing, unless Marvel Comics throws out tens of billions of dollars, but now the market value of Marvel Comics is only more than 500 million dollars, and they can't even afford so much money if they sell it.

After the box office of "Spider-Man" in May this year, the stock price of Marvel Comics soared instantly, but it began to fall in just over a dozen days, because media reports continued that Marvel Comics sold their son and daughter who were somewhat famous...

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Avi, we can actually establish closer cooperation."

Avi Arad didn't understand what Ronan meant and asked, "How to cooperate?"

Now he regrets selling the copyrights of more than 30 superheroes, but looking back, with Marvel's situation at that time, how could he survive if he didn't sell the copyright?

Ronan also tried to ask deliberately: "How is Marvel Comics joining Relativity Entertainment?"

"What?" Avi Arad was a little unbelievable: "No, Ronan? You mean to acquire Marvel Comics?"

Ronan said casually: "This is just a proposal and it is also conducive to further cooperation between us. Relativity Entertainment can provide great added value to Marvel Comics superheroes. It is not difficult to see from the "Spider-Man" movie that the benefits of a superhero movie with a box office hit are more than ten times higher than those of simple comics and surrounding areas. Movies are the best channel for superheroes to realize their value."

Avi Arad didn't pay attention to Ronan's words at all and said lightly: "Marvel Comics is one of the two largest comic companies in the United States."

Ronan can hear that the market value of Marvel Comics of more than 500 million US dollars makes Avi Arad somewhat self-controlled.

"But you have suffered losses every year since the mid-to-late 1990s." Ronan said without any concealment: "If it weren't for selling a large amount of copyright, Marvel Comics wouldn't have been able to hold on to it now?"

Avi Arad smiled and said, "Marvel is getting better."

Luo Nan did not insist anymore. It was just a test. After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

After seeing Ronan off, Avi Arad suddenly realized something. What Ronan said was a temporary intention? What if it wasn't?

He thought of a possibility that if Ronan had planned to acquire Marvel, he would first buy the copyright of more than 30 superheroes...

The actual situation of Marvel is here. All the copyrights of the superheroes with a bit of fame have been sold. It is difficult for Marvel Comics to maximize profits by taking advantage of the popularity of superhero movies, and they will miss the opportunity to rise again.

The road ahead of Marvel seems to be very flat, but the roadbed under the road surface has been dug up!

Ronan left Marvel and called Lindsay Bill to inquire about the interview.
