Chapter 731 Episodes of Throwing the Trash Can
"Mark Miller really likes the setting and structure of "Ace Agents".
In the office, Robert Lee said to Ronan: "So, I want to get authorization from Shahai Entertainment to adapt "Ace Agent" into a comic."
Ronan asked the most critical question directly: "Where is the copyright?"
Robert Lee said: "The conditions I put forward are that the adapted comics are published by Marvel Entertainment, and the copyright belongs to Relativity Entertainment. Mark Miller can share the income and dividends of comics like a type of screenwriter hired by Marvel Entertainment."
Without involving the movie and other peripheral revenues, Ronan had no objection to this and asked: "Did Mark Miller agree?"
"He agreed in principle." Robert Lee looked at Ronan and said, "But he wanted to make a lot of changes to the plot of the movie. I can't make any decisions, so I can only come to you, the author of the script."
If this is not the case, Robert Lee has every right to decide on other matters and sign a contract with Mark Miller directly.
The movie Curry in Shahai Entertainment is Ronan’s Arab protagonist version based on the magical modification of the movie “Ace Agent”. The settings and structure are not much different from that movie, but the content is completely different.
The former film was also an adaptation. Is it related to Mark Miller? Ronan became interested and asked, "How do he want to change it?"
Robert Lee had a conversation with Mark Miller and said simply: "The protagonist changed to British people. The agent organization is no longer a cosmopolitan, but an ancient British organization similar to the Knights of the Round Table. Then, with the request of the British gentleman, he recreated the elegant agent type."
The "Spy Shadows" series leads another tough guy agent who is fist-to-mouthed. The traditional Bond-style agent film is a bit outdated.
But movies are always changing, and the tastes of market audiences are also changing.
Ronan knew this well, and these changes seemed to have returned to the previous route. He just thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I agree to authorize Mark Miller, you are responsible for discussing the specific conditions."
"I'm fine." Robert Lee picked up a comic book "The King of Sea" and said, "I'll be violent when I go and watch it."
He said as he walked, "Don't say, this dark type of comic looks interesting."
Ronan has browsed comics. Compared with the previous movies, the original comics are more bloody, violent and dark, and the scale is much larger than that of Marvel's traditional comics.
The movie must not be adapted like this, otherwise it would definitely be the R-level one, not to mention the R-level, it would definitely be able to enter the ranks of NC-17.
Of course, this film is popular, and the super violent cute luoli can be said to be a very important factor.
The actress who used to be a young actress seems to be still young, but the actress is not necessarily her. There are many outstanding female stars born in the 1990s, such as Dakota Fanning, who are also confused.
After obtaining the copyright, there is no need to worry about adapting the movie, and Shahai Entertainment is not short of adaptation projects.
Starting this year, a considerable amount of resources have begun to be invested in TV series production. Netflix's streaming media business will not be the first-time movie release platform for Relativity Entertainment in a short period of time, and the direct premiere is mainly TV series.
"Prison Break" and "Survival in the Wild" have been filmed and produced long ago, and they are only waiting for Netflix's streaming business to be launched.
In addition, many TV series projects have also begun to be planned. After the trial clips received the green light, the crew has been formed and has entered the filming stage since early December.
At present, the crew has moved to Ukraine and will shoot some outdoor scenes near Kiev.
After Jerever Abrams' "Hurricane Rescue 2" finished filming and moved into the post-production stage, he began to be distracted. While hosting the post-production of the film, he also made preliminary plans for the TV series project "Lost".
In this TV series, Abrams will direct the first few episodes himself and then take control of the overall situation as a producer.
Similarly, "Lost" and "Chernobyl" were all packaged by Shahai Entertainment to Caa for one-stop service.
Ronan does not believe in Caa's packaging production capabilities in first-tier large-scale productions and even second-tier commercial films, because their packaging services have basically never been involved in commercial films with large investment scales.
But packing TV series is Caa's unique ability.
However, Caa recently recommended actors is a bit unreliable. It is probably because it is facing the pressure of star-level actor customers to keep changing jobs. Caa has signed many new actors in the past year, and seems to want to cultivate customers who are more loyal and recognized by Caa.
It is not easy for newcomers to come forward, and this is basically the case in all business districts, unless they are second generations.
Just like recommending Lindsay Lohan and Black Lively to the crew of Gossip Girls, which has been filmed on the filming, Hollywood sells its new customers.
The effect can only be said to be average. For example, Ronan asked Lindsay Bill to cross out Lindsay Lohan directly.
On the crew of "Lost", Caa recommended a young actress named Evangeline Lily to play the heroine. After seeing the face of the natural old-looking face in the profile photo, Ronan vetoed it very firmly.
The actresses recommended by Caa have successively experienced unqualified appearance problems, which made Ronan feel urge to kick out Caa and cooperate with other agency companies.
First there was Lindsay Lohan, then Evangeline Lily. What the hell is this?
Is it so difficult to understand the most basic vase character requirement that Shahai Entertainment put forward, the most basic vase character?
Brian Lord quickly called Ronan and said he would personally ask about the role of the actor recommendation work.
In any case, Caa is the largest brokerage company in Hollywood. Ronan cannot easily make the decision to kick off an important partner like Caa because of his temporary likes and dislikes.
Relativity Entertainment has cooperated with major Hollywood agency companies. In all the film projects filmed by Shahai Entertainment, Ronan never restricts the actors or behind-the-scenes staff from which agency they come from, but in TV series projects, they have always given priority to using Caa customers.
The first TV series of Shahai Entertainment, which has been broadcast for three seasons, has been broadcasted. The first season was able to successfully enter public TV stations and achieve success, and caa played an extremely important role.
Relativity entertainment at that time was not the current relativity entertainment.
TV series of Relativity Entertainment will basically not enter the TV platform again, and the future platform choice will be Netflix streaming media.
After the TV series became popular, all of them, including the rental and sale of DVDs can be carried out through the Netflix platform.
The latter will only shoot one season, while the former is the first season, and the fate is determined by the market response.
All three series will be filmed and produced in the middle of next year and will be released on Netflix's streaming media platform one after another.
In addition, "House of Cards", "The Walking Dead" and "Game of Thrones" were recruited by Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter department to start the script adaptation of the first season.
But if Netflix's streaming media needs to remain popular, it may become a popular drama, and it must be launched one after another instead of just investing in it.
The preparations for these two films will take some time to shoot.
Ronan has watched too fewer American dramas than movies, and its inventory is really limited. Only based on some impressions can the screenwriter department make appropriate creations.
For example, collect horror legends from all over the United States, and see if there is any possibility of adapting horror TV series after the integration.
There is also a TV series that is famous. Although I have never watched it, I have heard of Sherduo’s name. There were many voices on the Internet saying that a certain series plagiarized Sherduo and so on.
When Ronan convened a meeting with the screenwriter department, he focused on this concept, allowing the screenwriters to create appropriate sitcoms based on the themes of several otaku and beauties.
This kind of drama has a low investment in the first season. After the script is completed and can be reviewed, you can try the effect of the previous season.
The first season was filmed for about ten episodes, and millions of dollars were enough.
With the strength of Shahai Entertainment today, even if it fails, the loss can be fully afforded.
If it succeeds, not to mention that half of the results of "The Big Bang Theory" can achieve, it means that it may generate a large profit.
You can sell DVDs just to make a big deal.
Many popular TV series by Netflix have been viewed online at any time, and a large number of consumers still pay for DVDs.
Ronan had never watched the "Big Bang Theory" in the past, so he could only cross the river by feeling the stones in this way.
Fortunately, sitcoms are a common type in Hollywood and are not very difficult to shoot.
After the screenwriter meeting, George Clint chatted with Ronan for a while and recommended a project.
"A TV series project, the person I'm looking for is Vince Gilligan."
In the office, George Clint and Ronan poured a glass of water, placed it on the coffee table next to him, and took a thick file bag from the desk and handed it to Ronan: "This man has been a screenwriter, a producer and director, and is also a veteran in Hollywood."
Ronan said the truth: "I haven't heard of him before."
George Clint smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't heard of it before." After making a small joke, he said, "This is recommended by James Huang and Glenn Morgan."
Luo Nan had already opened the file bag. When he heard these two people, he had some expectations for the contents in the file bag.
James Huang and Glenn Morgan have worked with Shahai Entertainment, and the former is also working on "The God of Death is Coming 4". Both of them are relatively reliable types, so the recommended person should not be outrageous.
George Clint continued: "Vince Gilligan worked together with James Huang and Glenn Morgan on the "X Archives" crew for two years. Before this project came to us, it had been rejected by showtime, fx, tnt, hbo and other TV stations. The most exaggerated thing is that someone threw it into the trash bin after watching it."
