Chapter 469: Waiting for an Opportunity
With Ronan's promise, Uvi Ball happily left the Relativity Entertainment, just like the previous time, he planned to continue to go to Blizzard Mill.
Uvi Ball believes that he has the main intention and perseverance, and he will definitely grind Blizzard, a stubborn iron rod that cannot be persuaded, into a toothpick that can be obtained in his hand.
Thinking about the plot of the first filial son and the first filial daughter, Wu Bao was excited. One killed his father with his own hands, and the other watched his father be killed indifferently. Such a plot is so epic!
Especially the first filial daughter, who has a love that transcends race with orcs must have a good market.
Having said that, how can humans compare to orcs?
It can be seen from this that the first filial daughter is definitely a choice after careful consideration.
So, I changed the dragon later.
When Uvi Ball returned, he had already started to consider adaptation. If he could get the adaptation copyright from Blizzard, how much budget would he have to be with Ronan?
The special effects of the movie adapted from "Warcraft" cannot be worse than "Dungeon Siege", right? The production budget must be $5 million! It may not be enough, but there is always a way to make a difference, such as the secondary use of props and sets of "Dungeon Siege", and those expensive war scenes can be used directly again.
Uvi Ball is confident that no one is more suitable to adapt this game into a movie than him.
How many directors can do it when shooting a game-adapted magical epic masterpiece with the minimum funding budget?
In June, the North American film market was still hustle and various summer films were endless.
"Hot Mom and Hot Girls" produced and released by Disney was first released in June. Although Lindsay Lohan, one of the heroines, has become a hot youth idol without the film "Mean Girl".
People like Ronan can't understand why Lindsay Lohan, who is full of money-stained faces that cannot be covered by makeup and various photography techniques, has become a beautiful girl in the mouths of the media and some movie fans?
The aesthetics of this ghost version are really unsightly.
Those men and women who see Lindsay Lohan can still speak their mouths have a very heavy taste.
Perhaps there is really a disease in this world called severe freckle control.
After five weeks of release, the box office in North America finally exceeded 250 million US dollars, but the box office trend is no longer stable and there is not much market potential left.
The film's response in overseas markets has always been much worse than that in North America, and now the global box office has just exceeded US$400 million.
But for purer action movies, this is already an extremely good box office result.
However, in the film market, "Finding Nemo" will be the dominant player, which will be released at the end of May.
The animation production produced by Pixar Studios's sluts has set a series of records, such as the $70 million animated film, the record of the North American weekend painting, the record of the original film, the record of the North American weekend painting, etc.
In the future, there are even Hollywood stars who will get some other nicknames or nicknames based on certain characters in the movie.
Pixar Studio's animated films have also been translated into various mobilizations on the other side of the Pacific.
Ronan is very jealous of Pixar Studios, but although the conflicts within Disney and between Disney and Pixar have been evolving, they are still relatively restrained in several aspects and have not completely exploded.
"Although Disney is facing many crises, there are many internal contradictions."
In the office, Robert Iger, who is extremely familiar with Disney, said: "But Disney is still a behemoth, especially the foundation is still there."
Ronan recognizes this, as long as the copyright of the cartoons in the Disney film library remains, it can bring a steady stream of stable returns.
Robert Iger added: "Disney is the best platform for animated movies, we know that, and Steve Jobs knows that," he said.
Ronan sighed: "The foundation of relativity entertainment is much worse than Disney."
In terms of the distribution of animated movies and their surrounding channels, who can compare to Disney in Hollywood?
"So, there is no problem inside Disney, and it is difficult for us to impress Steve Jobs." Robert Iger analyzed: "Even if more than two-thirds of the revenue generated by Pixar Studio's animation feature films fall into Disney's hands, Michael Eisner belittles Jobs in various ways, but Jobs still dare not break up with Disney because that means uncontrollable risks may arise."
Ronan understands: "We only have a problem within Disney."
Robert Iger said cautiously: "Yes, this is the only possible opportunity. Disney civil unrest will make Jobs lose some confidence in Disney."
"Bob, can we just wait?" Ronan waited for too long: "We won't do something?"
Robert Eiger quickly said: "No, don't. I know too much about Michael Eisner and Roy Disney. Once an external threat appears, they will immediately unite and unite to the outside world. This will only ease the conflict and delay the time when the conflict breaks out."
Ronan said: "We still need to prepare in advance."
Robert Eiger also said: "With Michael Eisner's strength and Roy Disney's stubbornness, the conflict between the two forces will only become more and more acute. There will inevitably be direct collisions in the next three to five years, bringing a very long period of turmoil to Disney."
He smiled: "I left Disney, except for you who touched me, this foreseeable future is also an important reason. No one can guarantee what the future will be like after this turmoil."
Ronan said a joke: "I also want to thank Michael Eisner and Roy Disney."
Robert Eiger reminded seriously: "Ronan, one of the most important preparations is funding. In addition, we must make a difference in animated feature films, so that Jobs can see that Relativity Entertainment also has the ability to operate animated movies and their surroundings."
Ronan nodded: "I understand." Before leaving Robert Iger's office, he said: "Next week is the premiere of "Summer of Jeans", so don't forget to attend."
Embassy Pictures will release one or two movies every month since May, and the highlight of June is undoubtedly "Summer of Jeans".
As a youth idol movie that belongs to summer, the most suitable schedule is also the summer schedule.
The North American film market in June is still crowded. In addition to the already released "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", there is also "Stealing the Day and Change the Day" which will be painted this weekend, and the next weekend will be the "Summer of Jeans" which will be painted on a large scale.
Then there are two top-tier productions, "The Hulk" produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, and the super dance film "Charlie's Angels 2".
Ang Lee has sent Ronan an invitation to the premiere, and Ronan also agreed to attend the premiere of the film.
In any case, this is a very meaningful movie for Ronan and the entire Relativity Entertainment, and Ang Lee may return to the embrace of Shahai Entertainment again.
Judging from the news that Ronan received, "The Hulk" is not optimistic about progress. It is said that the senior executives of Universal Pictures are extremely annoyed by Ang Lee.
Tom Cruise talked with a Universal Pictures production executive. According to the news that Ang Lee's "Hulk" is a veritable author film.
Remove the Hulk element and can be regarded as an art film.
Perhaps this will be one of the most thoughtful superhero movies, but in the summer season, especially in Spider-Man, the market prospects are really bad now, when the audience is full of expectations for Marvel superheroes.
Ronan also persuaded Ang Lee at the beginning, but Ang Lee did not accept his opinion, and such a thing could not be done.
Moreover, given the situation of Ang Lee at that time, he took out a lot of real money and needed a high salary to pay for his filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
After all, artists also need life and often pursue high-quality life.
Ronan has prepared "Brokeback Mountain", but after "The Hulk", he is still full of doubts. Nowadays, homosexuality is not very high, and even this type of film theme is quite sensitive.
I vaguely remember that "Brokeback Mountain" had also suffered a lot of criticism, and even conservative states and cities such as Utah directly refused to be screened.
This kind of film investment will not be very high. Luo Nan has the courage to try it, but I don’t know if Ang Lee has the courage to pick up the guide.
Before the weekend, Ronan held a banquet at the Century City Hotel to welcome Bell Griers and his group to Los Angeles.
After finishing the rubber boat crossing the Atlantic Ocean, resting for another two months, and working with the professionals of Sand Sea Entertainment to complete the editing of relevant documentaries, Bell Grylls rushed to Los Angeles and officially joined the crew of "Survival in the Wild" and participated in the relevant preparations on the spot.
Ronan equipped Bell Griers with many professional experts, such as the retired field survivors experts, and photographers who once shot documentaries in the Extreme Prairie and Amazon rainforest.
Of course, the most important thing is various insurances.
Although there are corresponding safety measures for shooting this kind of film, the danger is still very high. Ronan asked Shahai Entertainment to insure all the main creators of the crew and the personnel involved in the filming.
After all, these people will go to dangerous areas such as deserts, wastelands, rainforests and glaciers to shoot at the latest, and it is not surprising that accidents will occur.
According to the plan, by 2005, the man standing at the top of the food chain will appear in front of the audience.
Taking advantage of the time before "Summer of Jeans" was released, Ronan went to Chicago again and personally watched the crew of "Batman: The Moment of War" which has been filmed on the filming.
Christopher Nolan is busy filming some street scenes, and Batman is about to usher in a new life.
Because the crew was full of work, Ronan did not invite a group of stars to attend the subsequent premiere. He stayed in the crew for five days, handled some producers' business, and returned to Los Angeles.
