Chapter 639
Looking at the confident Van Diesel, Ronan gave the only premise of cooperation: "Sign up five "Fast and Furious" films with Shahai Entertainment as an actor, or star in "Fast and Furious 3" as the third male lead."
Vin Diesel didn't make any consideration at all, and knew that the plot that was offended could not be brought back, so he simply refused: "This is impossible."
"This is the premise for our cooperation." Ronan shook his head slightly, stood up and prepared to leave: "It's a pity that Dominic Toreto can't appear in the new "Fast and Furious" movie."
That being said, but Ronan did not have much regrets, after all, Shahai Entertainment has already completed the registration.
Not the core, not the boss, not the power, and have to sign a contract for sale. How could Van Diesel, such a confident and proud person, agree? Shaking his head and saying, "It's not that you don't show up, it's you who don't want it."
Ronan said nothing, shook hands with Van Diesel, and prepared to leave.
Vin Diesel suddenly said: "Mr. Anderson, take the liberty to remind you that in order not to have copyright disputes in the future, you should not use the themes and concepts I just mentioned in the movie."
Luo Nan stopped, turned around, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, let me remind you, Shahai Entertainment has completed the script of the new trilogy of "Fast and Furious", which includes the concept of racing family and the tiring logging. The crew registered the copyright at the Copyright Office and the Screenwriter's Union a few months ago. You'd better not use these again, otherwise copyright disputes are really prone to occur."
"Uh..." Luoshi suddenly choked with Van Diesel's confidence and awesomeness.
Ronan did not look at Vin Diesel anymore and took Connie to leave the office directly. As for what Vin Diesel would think, let him go.
Copyright disputes cannot arise, and what he just said is the truth.
Without the awesome Boss Tang, Paul Walker can be used as the main storyline, then lead to new characters and then form a racing family.
As for Dominic Toreto, it disappeared after the character left the first part.
It took a while after Ronan left, Vin Diesel came out of the office, touched the big bald head with a halo of confidence, and walked out of the theater.
The agent came out of a corner and asked, "How is the talk?"
Vin Diesel said directly: "No negotiation was reached, Ronan Anderson is too arrogant and never fails once, and he doesn't know the importance of talent."
The agent was speechless for a moment, and he felt that Van Diesel was talking about himself.
Vin Diesel is not planning to watch the premiere of "Spider-Man 2" again, and said to the agent: "Contact booking flights, we will return to Los Angeles as soon as possible."
He wanted to go to the Copyright Office and the Screenwriter's Union in person to see if it was really like Ronan Anderson said.
After getting in the car and looking at the streets of Brooklyn, Vin Diesel put his hands on his chest, and was as strong as the Brooklyn Bridge.
The creativity that has been thought out cannot be in vain. Ronan Anderson refuses to cooperate, but there are some companies that Hollywood wants to cooperate with, and they can create another series.
The more Van Diesel thought, the clearer the thoughts, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, and said to his agent: "Go back to Los Angeles and contact me a few screenwriters who are good at action movies. I have a creative idea about action movies and need to find someone to complete the script."
The agent said: "It's easy to find screenwriters in this regard."
Vin Diesel said: "Contact companies such as Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Walt Disney and tell them I have an action movie project."
"Okay." The agent replied: "Although "Star Legend 2" failed at the box office, there are still companies that want to cooperate with..."
Vin Diesel waved impatiently: "I said, "Star 2" is just a small accident, don't mention it again."
The agent realized that the words just now touched the place Van Diesel didn't want to face, so he quickly changed the topic: "Negotiation with Shahai Entertainment..."
Vin Diesel said firmly: "No need to talk about it."
What else is there to talk about? Sign a contract to let Shahai Entertainment exploit and oppress for ten years? I am a heavy-duty humanoid motorcycle with a dignified 200-pound personality, a super film talent with a screenwriter, producer, director, powerful figure, strong muscles, tall and powerful, and full of artistic talents!
Van Diesel will never be a slave unless he can make up enough bald one!
Since "Spider-Man 2" has begun to be screened, Ronan did not enter the theater. He communicated with a senior executive at Sony Columbia Pictures and found Howard Stinger, who was also not in the theater.
Having received a report from Chris before, Howard Stringer was very clear about Ronan's purpose and said: "If the opportunity is right, Sony Columbia Pictures is willing to work with Marvel to further develop the Spider-Man series."
When is the right opportunity? Let's wait patiently.
Ronan simply said directly: "The situation in the society and the film industry has changed rapidly in the past two years. The agreement on Spider-Man was no longer suitable for this era. It is necessary to sign a new agreement between Marvel and Sony Entertainment."
When he said this, Ronan suddenly thought of Mel Gibson. It seems that after the release of "The Passion of Jesus", Mel Gibson looked like this?
Why did Mel Gibson disgust him and take his actions for granted?
Sure enough, normal people have double standards.
Treating oneself is one standard, and for others is another standard.
Howard Stringer smiled: "Ronan, you have always been trustworthy. In Hollywood, you are famous for keeping your promises and paying attention to the spirit of contract. How can you repent to the copyright agreement of Spider-Man?"
This almost made Luo Nan hang up.
If it were ordinary people, they would definitely be forced into the corner by these seemingly commendable words and would not be able to move in a short period of time, but Ronan's thick-skinned face immediately started to laugh.
"The copyright agreement for Spider-Man was not signed by Relativity Entertainment, and it has nothing to do with me." Ronan said lightly: "Howard, if I remember correctly, Sony Columbia Pictures did not get the copyright of Spider-Man from Marvel. There is no agreement between Marvel and Sony Columbia Pictures, and there is no way to talk about the spirit of the contract."
Howard Stringer was a little surprised. This was his first time to actually deal with Ronan. He was quite surprised to be a young man under thirty years old.
These are all fallacies, but they are hard to refute.
Because of Marvel and Relativity Entertainment, there is indeed no copyright and share agreement for "Spider-Man" with Sony Columbia Pictures.
What both parties abide by is an agreement signed when Marvel sold Spider-Man to Cannon Films.
Howard Stringer knew very well that the huge benefits brought by the "Spider-Man" movie ushered in a peek at Marvel and Marvel's current top relativist entertainment.
But after so many years of Sony Columbia, it is easy to finally make such a super-selling series?
Giving benefits? What a joke!
"There is no need to talk about modifying the agreement or re-signing the agreement." Howard Stringer must respond to the greedy peeping of the outside world with a tough attitude: "Ronan, after all, your Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment simply want to share more benefits from the "Spider-Man" series of movies."
This sentence directly points to the core of the problem, making people unable to refute it. Ronan did not refute it, but just continued to act as a double-standard dog: "Marvel Entertainment just wants to get the one you deserve."
Howard Stringer suddenly asked: "Have you ever considered a question?"
Ronan wondered: "What's the problem?"
Howard Stinger said lightly: "Why should my son, Sony Columbia Pictures, return it to Marvel Entertainment?"
Ronan is thick-skinned: "As a father, whether new or old, he wants to see his son get better."
Howard Stringer was a little helpless about Ronan's shameless statement, and his voice gradually turned cold: "Ronan, Spider-Man's copyright and income cannot be recovered just by wanting."
Ronan was also a little helpless because Marvel was too poor before, so he sold his own son and godson.
In the end, Marvel was so poor that she simply sold herself to his relativity entertainment.
These historical problems are really difficult to solve, and Ronan does not expect to solve them in a short time.
Just like the meeting with Vin Diesel just now, the interview between Ronan and Howard Stringer ended up in an unhappy manner.
Compared to Chris, who can be said to be a friend, Howard Stringer's attitude towards Relativity Entertainment and Ronan was very tough, and there was no room for negotiation.
It is impossible to recover Spider-Man in a short period of time, so Ronan can only focus on how to obtain some of the benefits of "Spider-Man".
Ronan said to Connie: "Let's go back to the hotel."
Connie quickly called the vehicle, and a few minutes later, she got into a car with Ronan.
"When the premiere is over, you can contact Avi Arad." Ronan said to Connie: "I'm going to meet him tomorrow."
Connie quickly wrote it down.
Ronan said again: "Notify all the heads of the company's publicity department to prepare for the fall of the Fantastic Four in the new version of the comics."
Connie asked, "I really want to kill the Fantastic Four?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "We must show Marvel's determination to the whole of Hollywood, otherwise there is no possibility of success for other copyright renegotiations."
Connie understands this simple truth: "I hope Twentieth Century Fox can make an informed choice."
"I hope so too." Ronan smiled: "But it's very difficult. Who would like to give up the cake you got?"
Think about how Embassy Films treats Mel Gibson's? How other companies treat the brand new Marvel Entertainment in Marvel superhero movies.
