Chapter 584

TV series? Ronan frowned slightly. There were many film and television works about the Chernobyl incident, but few were truly outstanding. At that time, most of the works he had watched were from Western countries or companies. His position and attitude of standing at a high place were imagined.

But one thing can be confirmed that the Chernobyl incident is world-famous and is the most famous nuclear disaster event in human history, and it itself has attracted much attention.

If shooting becomes a film and television work, if quality control is done well, it may be a big deal.

However, if Americans are allowed to shoot works about the Chernobyl incident, the content and themes, you can imagine it with your eyes closed.

As a film investor, Ronan would not consider these things too much.

Besides, the giant country that used to be no longer existed.

Marian Derio said at this time: "Mr. Anderson, what I originally planned was to shoot TV series, because I couldn't find an investor, so I could only shoot a documentary short film first."

Ronan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a script and related plans?"

Marian Derio's voice instantly became much smaller: "The plan and script have not yet fallen into writing."

Ronan understood and said, "This is how you prepare a few episodes of scripts and related project plans first." He looked at Connie next to him, and waited for Connie to hand the business card to Marian Derio, and then said, "You contact Connie at that time, and I will review your project."

"Thank you." Marian Derio understood that this was the best result, and it was much better than the film company she had contacted before, so he quickly said, "Thank you Mr. Anderson for your support."

Ronan nodded with a smile, and did not say anything more.

Although Marian Derio is an Oscar winner, the award he won is the least valued best documentary short film, which is worse than the best animated short film.

This result was enough to make Marian Derio happy to do the preparations.

Ronan then went to chat with Peter Jackson for a few words. The New Zealand director was proud and ambitious.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy put Peter Jackson to the peak of his life.

News has been circulating in Hollywood recently. Universal Studios and Peter Jackson reached an agreement on cooperation. Peter Jackson will serve as director and producer to restart one of Hollywood's most prestigious works, "King Kong".

Peter Jackson and his team are said to have asked for a 20% share of the film's global box office.

After tonight, this great director will be called "Peter the Great."

"Hello, Mr. Lasseter."

In the corner to the left of the banquet hall, Ronan shook hands with John Lasseter, one of the leaders of Pixar's hangers: "Congratulations on winning the Oscar."

John Lasseter wore gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "Thank you. Mr. Anderson's congratulations are a privilege for Pixar."

Ronan smiled and said, "You are so kind. Pixar Studios is now the leader in animation feature production, and its achievements are impressive."

John Lasseter modestly said: "Pixar still has a lot of room to grow."

"Shahai Entertainment also has an animation studio." Ronan said: "It's far worse than you."

Unexpectedly, John Lasseter actually knew about Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio: "The studio that produced "Peppa Pig" and "Miniu"?"

Ronan was a little surprised: "Have you heard of it?"

John Lasseter nodded gently: "I have seen these two animation works. My daughter likes "Peppa Pig" very much. She often pesters me to buy various peripherals. Your peripherals are enviable."

Before Ronan could speak, he said, "I have accompanied my daughter to several stores. The surroundings of Peppa Pig are full of intimate goods. Mr. Anderson, you are making cartoon peripheral products much better than Pixar."

Ronan also learned about the situation of "Peppa Pig" from the report. Since the beginning of this year, this animated short film has gradually attracted the attention of parents and children's audiences after several broadcasts. With the cooperation of media publicity, its popularity has gradually increased. The most direct reaction is to the surrounding area.

The total peripheral sales in February 2004 exceeded US$5 million, almost the sum of all peripheral sales in the past.

In addition, British BBC and an Australian TV station have determined to introduce this child cartoon, and the copyright of the first season of the two places alone sold $3.5 million.

As time goes by, "Peppa Pig" is gradually shining and creating profits continuously, becoming a long-term profit point for Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan is also modest: "Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is just starting out, and it is far worse than Pixar Studio in terms of animation operation and profitability."

John Lasseter suddenly smiled, with a bitterness that outsiders could not understand, and said casually: "Pixar Studio is just good at data."

Only the senior executives of Pixar Studios know that Pixar Studios is just a downstream manufacturer, and the operation and distribution of the animation feature films produced are completely controlled by the publisher Disney. Disney takes the benefits generated by the animation feature films first, and then it is Pixar Studios' turn.

It is precisely because of this situation that Steve Jobs repeatedly negotiated with Michael Eisner, hoping to truly achieve a win-win cooperation.

Unfortunately, what Pixar Studio met was not Michael Eisner of the 190s, but a tyrant and dictator who had completely transformed.

Even Steve Jobs can't take advantage of Michael Eisner.

The root of all this comes from the investment issuance agreement signed by Pixar Studio and Walt Disney in the early 1990s. At that time, Steve Jobs did not have much wealth, and Pixar Studio was also poor and wanted to complete the world's first computer animation feature film, he could only sign a contract with Disney similar to a body sale contract.

"I still envy you." John Lasseter sighed: "You combine production, operation and distribution, and you don't have to accept another layer of exploitation, and you have complete autonomy."

Ronan deliberately tentatively said: "I have also heard of what happened between Pixar and Disney."

John Lasseter was not surprised, after all, this is not a secret matter. Steve Jobs had repeatedly harshly accused Michael Eisner and Walt Disney of several times, and even denounced the former as a ***.

"Pixar can find other publishers." Ronan said casually: "Your contract with Disney is not long, right?"

John Lasseter sighed: "It's not that easy, including this "Finding Nemo", all the videos released by Disney's Pixar Studios, are shared by both parties."

Hearing this, Luo Nan's expression remained unmoved, but he sighed in his heart. It was really troublesome.

He had long known about these things, after all, Robert Iger came from Disney.

Half of the copyrights of these series belong to Walt Disney.

If this is not the case, he wouldn't have been waiting for the opportunity.

The same is true for this reason. A tough and skillful character like Steve Jobs was eaten by Michael Eisner.

If you think about it carefully, in the early and mid-1990s, Disney management led by Michael Eisner probably had the idea of ​​digging one before talking about it if there is a pit or not. They worked with Pixar Studios, and then Steve Jobs and Pixar Studios, who were short of money and resources, still had to jump into it even if they saw the pit.

That was the most difficult stage in Steve Jobs' life. It was not until Pixar Studios went public that Steve Jobs truly crossed the threshold of billionaires.

Ronan and John Lasseter chatted for a while, gradually became familiar with each other, and exchanged many future development prospects for animated films. The relationship between the two became much closer and they began to call each other directly.

Finally, when Ronan said goodbye and left, he said specifically: "John, please greet Mr. Jobs on my behalf. I am a shareholder of Apple. I will visit Mr. Jobs in person if I have time."

John Lasseter said solemnly: "I will definitely bring it."

Looking at Ronan leaving, John Lasseter had an idea. Ronan is a shareholder of Apple. Combined with what he said just now, it seems that he is a supporter of Steve Jobs, and both sides have a certain common position.

Ronan was about to go home, so he searched in the banquet hall and soon found Scarlett Johnson's figure.

Scarlett Johnson was in trouble. A middle-aged Latin uncle with deep eyes and a weird-looking appearance entangled her and couldn't drive her away no matter how hard she was.

"Miss Johnson." Benicio Del Toro touched his hair casually and followed Scarlett Johnson: "Can you invite you to have a drink?"

Scarlett Johnson did not give any good looks and said as he walked: "Sorry, I can't drink. I'm less than 21 years old. What's your intention to invite me to drink?"

Benicio del Toro was stunned. Scarlett Johnson saw Ronan and quickly accelerated his pace: "Ronan, I'm here."

Ronan came to Scarlett Johnson and looked at the Latino. Scarlett Johnson immediately held Ronan's arm tightly.

When I saw Ronan, I looked at Scarlett Johnson again. Benicio Del Toro suddenly realized and immediately said, "Sorry, Miss Johnson, Mr. Anderson, I was abrupt."

Ronan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Benicio del Toro knew that everyone would provoke him and that no one could provoke him, so he quickly disappeared.

Luo Nanchao walked to the door of the banquet hall: "Let's go back."

Scarlett Johnson followed, but said, "Is there a dedicated elevator for the presidential suite here?"
