Regarding the preliminary planning of "Transformers", Shahai Entertainment has been steadily advancing. A production team made a production estimate based on Ronan's requirements, and the production budget is roughly about 160 million US dollars.

This kind of film with special effects as its biggest selling point is inevitable to invest in big productions.

In addition, when Ronan met George Lucas at a banquet in Los Angeles, he also talked to him about special effects cooperation.

"This is not the first time we have worked together." George Lucas and Ronan have also met: "There are more and more large-scale production projects in Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan said with a smile: "So, Relativity Entertainment should cooperate with the world's best special effects companies."

George Lucas asked, "Do you mean "Transformers" to use 3D technology?"

"No." Ronan does not intend to use 3D for the time being: "I plan to invest more funds in special effects production, and create a beautiful, shocking and infinitely close to 3D in a 2D way, so that the audience feels like they are in the movie."

George Lucas said: "It's difficult, but not a problem. Industrial Light and Magic has been committed to creating impossible."

Ronan believes in the strength of Industrial Light and Magic: "I hope we can continue to cooperate for a long time."

George Lucas laughed: "Industrial Light and Magic are happy to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan is very clear that Industrial Light and Magic has profoundly changed the film industry around the world, and has proposed to promote and realize the concept of "technology entering films".

Some people say that Industrial Light and Magic is a company that "you need smoke that can be controlled, and it will give you a complete smoke system special effect"; some people say that this company is full of smart people.

In fact, "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" was also all shot in the studio, and all backgrounds rely on special effects generation.

After talking about the movie, George Lucas talked about another thing: "Have you returned to Southern California recently?"

The relationship between the two is relatively harmonious when they are very different in age, and the alumni of the Film Academy of Southern California are an important reason.

Luo Nan knew this very well and said, "I went back once in the first half of the year and talked to the tutor for a while."

George Lucas said: "After a while, I have an event at Southern California. The date has not been confirmed yet. Do you have time to participate?"

Ronan has a great idea, and the identity of alumni of the University of Southern California is very important. Just think about it for a moment and say, "I'll notify me of the time in advance and I'll try to adjust the itinerary."

George Lucas said: "I'll call you then."

Ronan turned around and asked, "Has the release date of "The Revenge of the Sith" been confirmed? I don't want the films of Relativity Entertainment to be faced with each other."

George Lucas replied: "I don't want to meet your movies in the third weekend next summer."

Relativity Entertainment's big productions are also extremely powerful, and no one wants to run into them head-on. As far as he knows, the big productions released by Relativity Entertainment next year include box office bombs such as "Spy Shadows 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Ronan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't meet head-on."

George Lucas didn't be polite to Ronan and directly invited: "Remember to attend the premiere."

"This is the last Star Wars movie." Ronan looked very interested: "I will never miss it."

George Lucas has said more than once that "The Revenge of the Sith" is the end of the Star Wars movie series, and he will not make Star Wars movies again in the future.

Of course, George Lucas didn't make any mistakes.

When he retired, he chose to sell Lucasfilm in packages, and the subsequent Star Wars movies had no direct relationship with him.

Ronan recalled that George Lucas seemed to have retired after 2010, and he couldn't remember the specific time.

After "The Revenge of the Sith" is released, you can use indirect methods to see when George Lucas will retire.

The "Star Wars" series is the world's well-deserved No. 1 IP.

Industrial Light and Magic is also the world's best TV movie special effects production company.

Relativity Entertainment cannot start from scratch in many aspects, and the giants in this industry will not give Relativity Entertainment time and opportunity to develop from scratch. Acquisition is almost the best choice.

Walt Disney, once firmly occupied the largest area of ​​the North American entertainment industry, never relying on self-development.

Of course, Walt Disney is still relying on its old capital today.

Ronan hopes that Walt Disney will continue to make money in the future, so Robert Iger is quietly contacting Roy Disney, and he himself takes time to invite Coty Horn's father, the new co-chair of Disney Pictures, to play golf together.

Since Relativity Entertainment has been working with Warner Bros., Allen Horn previously worked at Warner Bros. Pictures, and the two can also be considered old acquaintances.

Speaking of playing basketball, Ronan and Allen Horn are more likely to stay in the rest area to chat.

"Koty was a little willful and actually ran to you again." Allen Horn took off his sunglasses and said, "Thank you for your tolerance."

Ronan shook his head slightly: "Alan, you don't understand it now, right? Kotie is one of the most sensible girls I've ever met."

Allen Horn laughed and said, "Please trouble you."

Ronan waved his hand: "It's not a problem in itself. Anyone can play those roles."

Allen Horn sighed: "I had some trouble with Warner Bros. some time ago. Now I've just arrived in Disney. There are some facts that are not easy to help Coty."

Ronan said: "Warner Brothers has been under consideration, and Kevin Tessulhara has done too much."

"Actually, it's not someone else's fault." Erin Horn took the water cup, took a sip, and said, "After all, I didn't do well enough, and I caught the handle."

In such a company's power struggle, there is no right or wrong or excessive. If you fail, you will lose.

If it were him, if he caught Kevin Tesuhara's painful foot, he would not have let it go.

Ronan asked at this time: "Is it going to go to Disney?"

"It's a mess, worse than I thought." Allen Horn shook his head: "Disney's live-action film production, I don't know how to describe it."

He didn't want to say much, but just mentioned it vaguely.

Ronan smiled and said, "I can always get back on track."

Allen Horn smiled bitterly: "I also hope to return to the formality this morning, but I need an excellent film project." He said deliberately: "Ronan, your vision of choosing a film project is top in the industry. If you have the opportunity, please introduce me to several projects."

Ronan knew that he was joking, so he spoke in a joke: "No problem."

The sun gradually turned to the west, and a gust of breeze blew, making the weather much cooler, which was a good time to play basketball.

Ronan asked the caddie to get the club bag and greeted: "Allen, let's go and make a hole."

Allen Horn nodded: "Okay, make another hole."

In the later period, Ronan did not talk about Disney or work anymore, but just talked about interesting stories that happened in Los Angeles recently.

For example, another wildfire burning in Malibu.

The mountains and forests near Los Angeles, especially near Malibu, basically burn several wildfires every year.

I was lucky this year, and no wildfires appeared until August. The residents were naturally happy, but some were very frustrated.

Because there were no wildfires, some firefighters were facing a crisis of layoffs and salary cuts. In order to save their jobs and get high bonuses, a firefighter in Malibu saw that the wildfires were not burning for a long time, so he simply put them on his own.

This fire saved a large number of firefighters in the Los Angeles area who were about to be cut.

I can only say that there are strange things every year, and there are a lot of them this year.

This is not the first firefighter to set fire in Los Angeles, nor will it be the last one.

Allen Horn also talked to Ronan about the topic of gun ban. This is a very firm supporter of gun ban.

The reason for talking about this topic is that there has been another vicious shooting in the United States with heavy casualties recently.

Why say again?

Allen Horn stayed in the position of Disney Pictures co-chairman, Ronan believed that it was a good thing, and maybe he would have some kind of chemical reaction with Relativity Entertainment at any time.

In September, Shahai Entertainment's many film and television projects are being prepared or filmed steadily. "Dawn of the Living Dead" slowed down its profitability rate after the box office in North America exceeds 60 million US dollars. However, zombie movies have shown full vitality in the market, and with the gains of box office abroad in Shanghai, the global box office of this film has exceeded the $100 million mark.

"Batman: The War Moment", released in mid-July, has a cumulative box office of North America of $242.1 million, with a global box office of $422.74 million.

Christopher Nolan temporarily leaves the Batman project and officially begins preparing for "The Deadly Magic".

Unlike the previous film "The Moment of War", "The Deadly Magic" is completely operated by relativistic entertainment from investment to production and then promotion.

Another crew, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the male and female protagonists of "Mr. Smiths", ended their special training and officially entered the crew. The film will soon be transferred to the filming stage.

Some time ago, Brad Pitt also bought handcuffs with Jennifer Aniston at the store, and nothing special seemed to have happened.

This video has been confirmed to be released in the summer next year. In terms of the timeliness of publicity, there is no need for heavy news for the time being.

Perhaps Brad Pitt would be loyal to his own words and marriage might be possible.

After receiving financial support from Shahai Entertainment, George Romero is forming a crew, claiming to have been planning the script for ten years, and will definitely start filming before Christmas this year.

This video will also be released next year.

The latest release plan for the Embassy Films has been released to Ronan. Currently, there are twelve films that are confirmed to be released and released in 2005.
