Affected by the failure of "Van Helsing", the cooperation between Shahai Entertainment and Kate Beckinsale has come to an end for the time being and will not be restarted in a short period of time.

The plan to remake "Comprehensive Memories" proposed by Ren Wiseman is expected to invest about $120 million.

Of course, Ronan had to refuse.

Ren Wiseman officially married Kate Beckinsale this year, who also participated in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator".

If Ronan remembers correctly, like the marriages of most Hollywood stars, Kate Beckinsale and Ren Wiseman ended up divorced.

This can be said to be the general ending of a marriage in Hollywood.

Judging from Ronan's experience here for several years, people here basically choose to divorce when their love is exhausted, and many people break up peacefully.

Of course, there are also situations like Hollywood where they play their own things, and it is not uncommon to drag the man or the woman to go with three people.

This can be regarded as one of the most open circles in the United States.

In September, the traditional off-season of the North American film market, generally there will be no large-scale investment in films released. This is the schedule for B-level films and small-scale commercial films.

Relativity Entertainment launched this month a small-produced film, the sequel to the successful horror film - "Deadly Bend 3".

As a typical B-level film, the reputation of the series has been declining and the box office is still stable. Although the paintings did not win the box office list on the weekend, they also earned $16.81 million.

The budget for this B-level horror movie is only $6 million.

As long as it is profitable, the series will definitely be filmed. The revenue from this series of offline rental and sale market has long exceeded the box office share.

Most of this type of horror movies come from the offline DVD market.

As of August this year, the revenue of Relativity Entertainment on DVD, excluding channel expenses has exceeded US$400 million.

This result can only rank fifth in the industry, with Warner Bros., Walt Disney, Sony Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox ahead.

Warner Bros.'s Harry Potter series DVD has been selling well; Walt Disney's re-released classic cartoon platinum version DVD sales have been amazing. The revenue of the new version of DVD has exceeded US$100 million in just the film "The Lion King".

Sony Columbia Pictures owns the big killer of Spider-Man, and Twentieth Century Fox is the publisher of the Star Wars and Star Wars Prequel series.

Although Relativity Entertainment solved the problem of insufficient film sources after obtaining Yijiang Film's film library, its foundation is still incomparable to large companies.

Because the DVD market is becoming more and more extensive and the profit margin is amazing, major film manufacturers are DVDizing their videos and then launching them back to the market.

For example, the DVDs of "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone with the Wind" are currently in the top 20 North American DVD sales in 2004.

Even though the release date is long, these videos are still creating considerable profits for the copyright owner.

Once upon a time, when Sony Columbia films encountered production crisis, Spider-Man was released, and Walt Disney released a new version of the classic cartoon DVD when it encountered revenue difficulties.

These are life-saving tricks that have been tried and done.

Some old videos can also cause controversy, because after decades, some plots will always be captured by people with ulterior motives.

For example, "Gone with the Wind".

Ronan remembers seeing reports on this. About 2015, some consciousness in Hollywood was fully awakened and overdeveloped, so some groups also set their sights on "Gone with the Wind", accusing "Gone with the Wind" of seriously racial discrimination, and requiring screeners, TV stations and offline dealers across the United States to remove the film from the shelves.

Many theaters in North America, including the famous Offen Theatre, originally had the tradition of screening "Gone with the Wind" annually, but under strong protests in this part, they had to be cancelled.

Although it is impossible for a certain movie to be banned in the North American market, "Gone with the Wind" has been greatly affected in terms of TV broadcasting and DVD sales.

This kind of thing sounds incredible at first, but when you think about the unspoken rules exposed by a Hollywood director, there are no black people on the list and they are also accused of racial discrimination, it feels normal.

"It's not possible to let blacks be the number one villain, this is an unshakable matter of principle in our movies!"

Walking in the studio arranged into a supermarket, Ronan told Andrew, the producer of "Mr. Smiths": "Recruit a few black actors as supporting roles, don't let them be villains."

Andrew is also an old producer and said, "The crew is doing it and will not make such low-level mistakes."

Ronan turned to ask, “When will the shooting start.”

Andrew looked at the busy director Doug Liman and said, "Director Liman believes that filming will be started in the late this month."

Ronan saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in training: "Is there something special about the crew?"

"What's special?" Andrew was full of doubts: "No, everything is normal."

Ronan didn't ask again, and saw Doug Liman finishing his work and walked over.

Doug Liman shook hands with Ronan and said: "The crew has sufficient funding and the preparations are going well. Thanks to Mr. Anderson for their support."

"You're welcome." Ronan smiled and said, "I believe this is the beginning of our successful cooperation."

The preparations went smoothly because many of the work went ahead, such as the actors. Although Nicole Kidman once wanted the heroine, Catherine Zeta Jones also expressed interest, and did not hesitate to use Michael Douglas's relationship, Ronan chose Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie without hesitation, without delaying any time.

There is also a script. After Shahai Entertainment obtained the script and before the crew was established, the screenwriter department modified and adjusted the script more than fifty times.

This script was originally just a graduation work by young screenwriter Simon Kimberg, and there were too many things that did not meet the shooting requirements.

It’s no wonder that the script has not been made into a movie since it was created in the 1990s.

Doug Reeman accompanied Ronan to walk around the studio's setting, focusing on the supermarket and the Smiths' home.

"This is not just a space where food, clothing, housing and transportation, but a marriage relationship that is dangerous and insane." Walking at the Smiths' home, Doug Reemann told Ronan: "Their lives have too many secrets, lies and burnouts. The house is designed with a very luxurious style, complex and very spatial concept, but it is stiff and lacks warmth and soul, and it is more like a show than a home."

Ronan nodded slowly: "Jane and John both have superb skills that ordinary people can't reach, but they have not learned how to live with another person for the rest of their lives."

"Yes," said Doug Reeman. "So, this house that symbolizes a discordant couple relationship will eventually be razed to the ground."

Ronan said: "This kind of scene design is good."

Doug Reeman said again: "Actually, I wanted to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment. I once wanted to win the director of "Spy Shadows", but you already have Paul Greengrass."

Ronan politely said: "I regret this, but it's not too late for us to start working together now."

Doug Reeman said with a smile: "I hope this is the beginning of a successful collaboration."

Relativity Entertainment is developing rapidly and has sufficient funding budgets. This kind of company is the ideal cooperation goal for directors.

Ronan once had few directors, including Doug Reemann's name.

After chatting for a while, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finished training. Angelina Jolie went to the locker room, and Brad Pitt walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson." Brad Pitt shook hands with Ronan.

Ronan said: "Hello, Pete."

Brad Pitt came to Ronan, and there was something obviously going on, saying, "Mr. Anderson invested frequently in film production and attracted much attention."

Ronan didn't know his intention and said vaguely: "The company is just operating normally."

"Jane and I worked with people to set up a production company," Brad Pitt said simply: "It is called Project B."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I have heard of it and participated in the production of "Troy".

Brad Pitt smiled and said, "Plan b cannot be compared with Shahai Entertainment, but Jane and I are also planning to shoot several movie projects."

Without any hesitation, he asked directly: "Plan b has just been established and the funds are not particularly sufficient. Do you know that Mr. Anderson has an investment?"

Of course, Ronan would not make a decision easily: "What kind of project is it?"

Brad Pitt said simply: "Biography "Survival in the Crack" adapted from Augustine Burroughs' humorous memoir of the same name, it has been confirmed that the director is Ryan Murphy and Annette Benin will play the leading role."

Ronan recalled for a while, and confirmed that there was no relevant memory, and said, "Peter, why not do this. If you ask someone to send the relevant information and plans to my office and make a decision after I have read it."

Biographies are almost all customized products for the awards season, and cannot operate as commercial videos. Films that have no impression of them are probably not the kind that can make a lot of achievements at the Oscars.

Brad Pitt also knew that Ronan could not hear a few words from him, so he decided whether to invest, saying, "Okay, I'll send someone to the Relativity Building tomorrow."

After chatting for a few minutes, Jennifer Aniston entered the studio, came over to say hello to Ronan, and left the crew sweetly with Brad Pitt.

This is a famous golden boy and jade girl in Hollywood, in the media, and it looks sweet.

They are not just fathers, but also partners, and the project B production company is the Grillian Mom and Wife Store.

Ronan vaguely remembers that Brad Pitt once appeared on the Oscar for Best Picture Podium several times as a producer, and Project B is a typical black film manufacturer.
