"Good news! Good news!"

With dense footsteps sounded, George Clint strode into Ronan's office, waved the documents in his hand, and said with excitement: "Good news worth celebrating."

Ronan put down the signature pen in his hand, looked at him, and asked with concern: "Has the weekend box office statistics been released?"

George Clint was in a very good mood: "Yes." He deliberately kept it in hiding: "Ronan, guess how many there are."

Ronan stood up and strode over, feeling equally good: "There must be $140 million."

Two days before the start of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the box office in North America reached $110 million. Even if the sequel movies often have the most explosive power at the beginning, they will definitely gradually decline later, but there will be $30 million on Sunday, right?

"I'm very sorry to tell you, I guessed it wrong." George Clint said excitedly: "$151.28 million! Ronan, Relativity Entertainment has created a new weekend box office record in the North American film market!"

Ronan took the statistics from George Clint's hands, took a look, and was a little excited: "Our investment has not been in vain!"

George Clint nodded vigorously: "A few years ago, who would have thought we would have this day?"

Ronan patted his desk lightly: "Yes, who would have thought that we will stand at the peak of North American box office record one day!"

The knock sounded, and Jessica Felton, who was wearing a women's professional suit, looked extremely capable, walked in.

George Clint walked over and shook hands with Jessica Felton: "Jesse, you've done a great job."

Jessica Felton obviously got the news and said, "It's too much, the sequel to a very successful film."

She smiled and said, "But I didn't expect that the second part would be so successful."

Compared with the highly acclaimed first, the second premiere box office has more than doubled.

Ronan came to a cabinet in the office, took out a bottle of red wine, took three cups by the way, and said, "We want to have a drink for this."

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "Celebrate?"

"It's certainly worth celebrating," George Clint said.

As he said that, he took the bottle of wine from Ronan, and after calling, he poured wine into three cups.

"For the Pirates of the Caribbean 2"!

“For our success.”

"For relativity entertainment!"

"cheers!"

The three of them clinked their glasses, took a sip, and laughed at the same time.

Robert Lee and Mary walked in one after another. Mary looked at the three people and said with a smile: "Why don't you call us for celebrating?"

Ronan went to get the cup: "You guys are here just right, let's have a drink together."

Robert Lee asked, "I'll call Bob."

Ronan took out the cup and handed it to Jessica Felton, asked George Clint to pour wine for the two, and said, "Bob has been in San Francisco lately."

"How did I forget this?" Robert Iger stopped: "Bob is busy with Netflix's online listing."

Ronan took the wine glass handed over by Jessica Felton, waited for everyone to pick up the glass, and clinked them one by one: "I wish us better and better."

Mary smiled and said, "Wish us success."

Everyone else clinked glasses with smiles, and the atmosphere of joy spread throughout every corner of the office.

Here are all veterans of Relativity Entertainment, Mary, Robert Lee and George Clint, who are the only three employees who followed Ronan to start their business. They not only own options for Relativity Entertainment, but also receive corresponding equity rewards when Netflix is ​​listed on the Internet.

Although there are very few equity, it can further stimulate people's motivation.

Ronan cannot guarantee other things. When Netflix is ​​listed, Mary, Robert Lee and George Clint will definitely have a guarantee of tens of millions of dollars.

Netflix's online listing also requires a certain number of shareholders to hold shares, which is a necessary condition for listing.

It is also the norm for listed companies that management owns a small part of the equity.

Just like Pixar Studio back then, even though Netflix was listed on the Internet, Ronan still owns the absolute controlling stake in Netflix through Relativity Entertainment.

Jessica Felton is treated much worse than Mary, Robert Lee and George Clint.

If you want to become a shareholder of Netflix, you can only wait until it is listed and exchange it for money.

At this point, Ronan has always clearly distinguished himself. Jessica Felton has a good relationship with him and has shown enough ability, but this makes Relativity Entertainment give away equity, which is too vague.

Let me tell you, isn’t Netflix’s equity the same as that of Dabaicai?

After a simple drink, everyone had work to deal with, and they said goodbye and left. Ronan left Jessica Felton.

"You also need to participate in the subsequent peripheral sales of "Soul Gathering Coffin"." Ronan reminded: "Shahai Entertainment will not be able to provide personnel for the time being, you need to represent the production company to participate."

The finances of Shahai Entertainment's subsidiaries are all calculated separately, which was determined from the beginning.

Jessica Felton said: "Yes, I have time now, the post-production of "Fast and Furious 3" is going well, I just need to take control of the big picture and get out of here."

Ronan asked, “How is the preparations for Juno?”

"I have signed an actor contract with Allen Page, and she will play the leading role." Jessica Felton said roughly: "This actor is indeed distinctive and has a natural advantage of reducing age by 5, which is very suitable for playing a high school girl."

She thought for a while and said, "I'm looking for a suitable director. It's not easy to find a director with such a theme."

Ronan suddenly remembered Sofia Coppola, whom he met at the premiere of "The Revenge of the Sith", which is a very free female director who is still on vacation, and may be an option.

"How do you think of Sofia Coppola?" Ronan didn't know who was the director of the past, and Jessica Felton knew the project "Juno" better than him, so he just made a suggestion: "The director of "Lost Tokyo."

Jessica Felton said: "Sofia Coppola? Female directors direct female themes, which have natural advantages. Oh, by the way, her directorial debut is "The Death of the Virgin", which is also a film about girls' feelings and family ethics."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Sofia Coppola's film is handled very well. She should be good at this kind of subject that tells women."

Jessica Felton said: "Do you have Sofia Coppola contact information? I'll contact her first. You should know that directors like Sofia Coppola are not only for us to choose her, but also for the partner."

Ronan opened the phone record and found Sofia Coppola's contact information, handed it to Jessica Felton, and said, "You contact Sofia first, and notify me when I need me to come forward."

"Okay." Jessica Felton put away the contact information: "I'll send the script first and let her see it before talking about it."

She turned to say, "Gor Wibinsky asked, when will the trial meeting of "The End of the World" be held?"

Ronan waved his hand: "It won't be necessary to try it out. Tell Director Vipensky that if he wants to start a new project, he doesn't have to worry about it."

Jessica Felton said: "He is indeed preparing for a new project. He asked me some time ago and asked me to read the script. Perhaps the script and project plan will come to you soon."

The project review of Relativity Entertainment must pass Ronan's level.

Even the director's project that has successfully collaborated with Relativity Entertainment is no exception.

There have been too many successful films in Hollywood, and the director who lost the next film was a tragic failure.

Ronan was curious and asked, "What project?"

Jessica Felton said simply: "A family ethics film about weather forecasters. The title of the script is "Weather Forecaster". Gore Vibinsky has personally invested in buying out the script and is looking for investment. The first thing he considers is to continue to cooperate with us."

Directing the trilogy of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Gore Vipensky also made a lot of money, and it was easy to buy a movie script copyright.

Ronan's previous understanding of Gore Vipensky was limited to the "American Version of the Grudge" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and he didn't remember which movies he had directed.

In this regard, "The American version of the Curse" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" may also be Gore Wibinsky's most successful commercial films.

Jessica Felton continued: "Gor Wibinski has confirmed the hero, just the cousin of Sofia Coppola, who we just mentioned."

Ronan knows who she is talking about: "Nicholas Cage?"

"It's him," said Jessica Felton. "Gor Wibinsky has signed a contract with Nicholas Cage. He believes that Nicholas Cage joining will help attract investment from production companies."

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case.

The last film "National Treasure" starring Nicholas Cage was a great success, which instantly made this a bit outdated movie star return to the front line.

The famous directors have always been one of the favorite models of studios.

But when Ronan heard the name Nicholas Cage, he instantly lost interest in Gore Vipensky's new project.

Nicholas Cage was once famous, on the one hand, it was the success of the 1990s, and on the other hand, it was the king of bad movies after the new century.

Ronan was once quite familiar with this old friend of Oriental movie fans. I remember that after "National Treasure", except for "Ghost Rider", other films were basically lost and lost.

Even in the end, he fell to the point of making money by going to Oriental Film Production Company.

It can be said that since "National Treasure", Nicholas Cage has officially started a super vicious cycle mode.

Luo Nan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this, wait until Shahai Entertainment submits the project to me, and I'll talk about it after reading the script and plan."
