In the small conference room of the Relativity Building, Ronan met Robert Lee.

"The Ministry of Copyright and Legal Affairs sent a special person to Mumbai, India and has contacted Vikas Swarup and his agent." Robert Li first talked about the copyright matters: "The negotiations were going smoothly. It is not a problem for us to obtain the copyright rights of film and television. You should buy out the copyright within US$2 million, but the distribution copyright involves the publishing house and it is difficult to get it."

Ronan said directly: "Get the right to adapt the film and television first. The copyright can be obtained the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it."

Robert Lee nodded and said, "I have already told you to take down the film and television adaptation rights first, and then talk about the main purpose of this meeting: "I talked twice with the head of Universal Pictures' production department about my thoughts."

Ronan asked: "Universal Pictures is willing to work with us on the new Jurassic series?"

Since Ronan mentioned several times that he wanted to obtain the copyright of the "Jurassic Park" series, Robert Lee has been worried. In the end, Universal Pictures refused to sell its trump card, so Relativity Entertainment had to give up.

Robert Lee did not give up. If the six major companies did not encounter difficulties or chaos, it would be extremely difficult to get the copyright from them, especially the copyright of ace movie series like "Jurassic Park".

But the success of Shahai Entertainment teaming up with Warner Bros. and restarting "Batman: The War Moment" gave Robert Lee hope.

"It used to be very difficult, but now there is a possibility of cooperation." Robert Lee is full of confidence: "The first two movies of "Jurassic Park" are undoubtedly typical of commercial film success, but the box office and reputation of "Jurassic Park 3" are very unsatisfactory, which led to Universal Pictures' decision to temporarily hide this series."

Ronan also understands these situations: "If you continue shooting, the audience's reputation will completely rot in this series, and it will be difficult to save it."

What flashed through his mind was the "Terminator" series. Since "Terminator 2", the new "Terminator" movies have been made one bad, and the audience's expectations have also been decreasing, which has led to many people saying that the bad movie series is coming to cheat money again.

Robert Lee asked: "Ronan, you must have thought about how to revitalize this series, right?"

Ronan's face could have been thicker than the city wall. At this time, his face was not blushing and his heart was not beating. He said calmly: "I have had some ideas."

Robert Lee was admired and trusted by Ronan's ability and said: "Using your achievements in production as the basis, I have the possibility of talking to Universal Pictures, and I dare to talk to Universal Pictures."

"What is Universal Pictures' current attitude?" Ronan asked.

"Ambiguous, no clear statement," said Robert Lee. "Universal Pictures also hopes to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment to save the series, but does not want to lose too much."

He said directly: "There is no sufficient benefit, why should we help Universal Pictures to save this series?"

Ronan thought of the movie he used to say, "Let's talk about it slowly, I guess there will be a chance in the future."

It is difficult to successfully cooperate with such a large investment project in just one or two times. Robert Lee is ready for a long-term battle: "As we continue to succeed, Universal Pictures will always be moved."

He thought about it and said, "If we can reach a cooperation with Universal Pictures, will it be more beneficial to the future development of the group?"

Ronan nodded: "In the long run, that's true."

Robert Lee's vision also became longer-term as his position and ability improved: "I analyzed it, do you see if this is the case."

Ronan looked at him: "Tell me."

Robert Lee didn't need to hide in front of Ronan, and said directly: "At present, among the six major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros. and NBC Global Group are companies with a milder attitude towards us. Among them, Warner Bros. cooperates more with us, but Warner Bros....How to say, I recently watched some movies and TV series they released and filmed. In addition to the "Harry Potter" series, I always feel that Warner Bros.'s decision-making level seems to be unreliable."

Ronan acknowledged: "Actually, I feel this way, too."

Robert Lee asked instead: "Kevin Tessulhara is said to be ahead of other competitors in competing for Warner Bros.'s next CEO?"

"No big surprise..." Ronan knows this more: "Kevin Tessulhara will become the next CEO of Warner Bros."

Robert Lee looked puzzled: "I don't understand how the shareholders and directors of Warner Bros. think. Kevin Tessulhara gives me a more like a speculative politician than a decision-maker in the film company."

Ronan had no choice but to spread his hands: "God only knew what the Warner Brothers people thought."

“We have cooperation and competition with six major companies,” Robert Lee continued: “But not every big company, like Twentieth Century Fox, will become our enemies.”

Ronan nodded slightly: "So, the negotiations between Marvel Entertainment and Sony Columbia Pictures will be over soon."

Ronan continued: "In addition to our competitors, we also need partners with certain interests. We do not ask them to stand on the side of Relativity Entertainment when a certain war breaks out, but being able to watch or even delay taking action against Relativity Entertainment is a kind of success."

Robert Lee continued: "Universal Pictures has a relatively peaceful relationship with us. If we can reach an agreement on the "Jurassic Park" series, Universal Pictures may do this."

"You're right," Ronan said: "Robert, you can continue to talk to Universal Pictures about this project, don't give up easily."

Robert Lee said: "I understand."

Ronan knew very well that if we could reach a cooperation, this cooperation would be strategic.

There has never been a major conflict of interest between Relativity Entertainment and the new Universal Pictures. As long as you can see the profits move forward, the two sides may not be able to reach an agreement on the new "Jurassic Park" series.

In the afternoon, Ronan went to watch the internal preview of Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" with several senior executives from Relativity Entertainment, Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Films.

Compared to the initial doubts, after the internal preview, everyone unanimously recognized the film. Whether it is feelings or pictures, the film can only be described as pure and beautiful.

Even if one of the people participating in the preview is counted as one, all of them are straight men, they may not like "Brokeback Mountain", but it is difficult to get disgusted.

Ang Lee's foundation in films that prefer literary and artistic has indeed become extraordinary.

"I used to have a lot of doubts about this film." George Clint said nothing: "But after watching the preview, I believe it will be a great movie."

Ang Lee, with an implicit smile in his oriental style, just kept saying "thank you" in the face of numerous praises.

Without experiencing an ups and downs like Ang Lee, it is difficult to understand his mood at this moment.

It is really a fatal failure of a Chinese director in Hollywood production.

Fortunately, Ang Lee still has a chance to prove himself.

Ang Lee also knew how this opportunity came about, so he came to Luo Nan to shake hands with him: "Ronan, you must accept my gratitude. Without your power to support me, I would not have the chance to shoot this film."

Luo Nan said with a smile: "Director Li, our cooperation has always adhered to one principle - win-win!"

Ang Lee let out a long sigh: "I can finally have a good night's sleep tonight."

With Ronan's recognition, he felt that the film had been more than half successful.

Ronan said deliberately: "Director Li, it's not time to relax yet. The production of the film is over, but it's just the beginning of its operation. Embassy Film has obtained a ticket to the competition unit of the Venice Film Festival for Brokeback Mountain. Your other war will soon begin."

Ang Lee said extremely seriously: "I know, I will do my best."

If you want those who belittle him to see him in a different way, the film also needs to win several heavyweight awards.

Ronan knew the possible value of Brokeback Mountain and encouraged: "You can do it just by doing it, and Relativity Entertainment will give you the greatest support."

Ang Lee said sincerely: "Ronan, whenever I need me in the future, just open your mouth."

As Ronan continues to promote successful projects, many directors similar to Ang Lee increasingly feel that cooperation with Relativity Entertainment is not only guaranteed, but also has a higher chance of success.

There are also many new directors who are also staring at Ronan and Relativity Entertainment. After all, from the surface, Relativity Entertainment always seems to give new directors, screenwriters or producers opportunities, and are more enterprising than the six traditional conservative companies and other medium-sized companies.

Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, has been successful since the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and Vita Studio has taken advantage of the situation to develop and has become one of the most outstanding film special effects studios in the world.

This year, another heavyweight film project has been ushered in here, as well as a super director who dares to call himself the "king of the world".

After receiving the first batch of automatic funds injected by Shahai Entertainment, James Cameron's "Avatar" crew moved from Los Angeles to Wellington. With the joint efforts of Vita Studio and Industrial Light and Magic, they began to do preliminary preparations.

Special effects design is ahead of all preparations, which is also the top priority of the filming and production of "Avatar".

It is not even an exaggeration to say that it is the first priority.

In order to fulfill his masterpiece in his heart, James Cameron summoned people who had been working together in the past, just like other directors.
