Now, "The God of Death", which has played an important role in the creation and development of relativity entertainment, has filmed the fourth part. "The God of Death 4" will be released next year. Director James Huang also informed Ronan early that the next "The God of Death 5" will be his last time in charge of the "The God of Death" series.

Anyone will get tired of filming the same series of movies for many years.

If it weren't for the unsuccessful experience of leaving Relativity Entertainment, James Huang would never have been the director of this series for a long time.

With the success of the film series, James Huang's already cold ambition gradually became alive.

This is also normal. Directors are all active-minded people. Any director with a little ambition will not be satisfied with the status quo.

"I can't film "The God of Death" for the rest of my life."

In the reception room of the Relativity Building, James Huang said to Ronan: "I can't find new ideas and creativity in this series, so I can only repeat the existing model. When I change the director after the fifth part, it actually doesn't have much impact."

Ronan really doesn't want to persuade James Huang to continue directing the series "The God of Death" which is obviously impossible, and he said: "Okay, it's not a good thing to jump into the existing pattern."

James Huang said: "Ronan, thank you for your understanding."

Ronan waved his hand and said, "You can say hello two years in advance, which means you care very much about me and Relativity Entertainment, as a partner. I also have time to find a suitable director again, so don't be so polite."

James Huang said again: "I wouldn't have succeeded when it wasn't you back then. It wasn't you. After I encountered setbacks, I might not find any opportunity in Hollywood."

Ronan knew very well that as time and contract expired, directors or actors who would cooperate with Relativity Entertainment would continue to jump out. For celebrities and well-known directors, cooperation is a two-way choice.

Like the people before, Ronan will not make a fuss just because the cooperation is over.

Business cooperation will start and end naturally.

But James Huang accompanied Shahai Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment through the most difficult period. Ronan also valued him more. Just as when the two sides ended their cooperation for the first time, he reminded: "James, it may be a good thing for you to jump out of the "Death is Coming" series. You will have a new world, but you should be cautious when choosing the new film type."

To be honest, he didn't want to see James Huang film any weird Japanese comic adaptations, such as "Dragon Ball".

James Huang said: "I plan to plan a new horror thriller movie."

Ronan nodded: "After the script is finished, remember to give me one."

If possible, James Huang also wanted to continue working with Relativity Entertainment, and quickly responded: "No problem."

After staying here in Ronan for a short time, James Huang said goodbye and left. "The God of Death is Coming 4" is still in post-production, and he has to return to the crew to host the work.

Even if James Wong no longer directs the "Death is Coming" series, Ronan will invite him to be the producer of the subsequent sequel.

For many sequels of the movie, Ronan also completely delegates power and leaves it to the relevant producers for the responsibility.

Other series such as "Resident Evil", "Deadly Bends" and "Saw" are also under their respective producers. Ronan rarely interferes in related matters and only participates in the review of the edited version after all the film is produced.

In the afternoon, the latest release plan for next year, that is, 2006, was introduced to Ronan.

Since the series produced by Shahai Entertainment is basically broadcasted on Netflix streaming media as a platform, the distribution business of Embassy Pictures is generally mainly film-oriented.

This distribution plan perfectly reflects the operating principle of commercial interests first and profit first, and is based on sequel movies and adaptations.

Strictly speaking, the sequels of popular movies account for an absolute majority.

"Resident Evil 3", "Saw 4", "Minius", "Shrek Monster 3", "Death Comes 4", "Museum Night 2", "Caribbean 3", "Fast and Furious 3", etc.

The non-sequel movies are basically adapted movies: "Iron Man", "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", "The Walker", "The Deadly Magic" and "The Da Vinci Code" and so on.

There are very few original movies, only "Juno" discovered by Jessica Felton, and "The Hangover" that has been completed.

The situation in Hollywood is also extremely sluggish in original movies. Any film company will be very cautious when facing original themes.

In addition, the release plans for two heavyweight works cannot be completely determined for the time being.

"Superman Family" and "Cars Mobilization" produced by Pixar Studios. Although the former is still being produced, it is actually purely for not wanting to be released by Disney. As long as Relativity Entertainment can reach an agreement with Pixar Studios, it can be completed at any time.

The latter's production has also entered the final stage, and all the production work can be completed by March next year at the latest.

Because it is in a confidential state, Ronan called Garcia Rodriguez directly on "Car Mobilization". Even if an agreement can be reached with Pixar Studio this year, "Car Mobilization" will be pushed to 2007, so that after the agreement is reached, Embassy Pictures will have more time to prepare for the distribution and publicity work.

This is a very special animated film. Even without Disneyland, the overall operating products of animation peripherals are not as good as Disney, but after embassy films, Embassy Film has opened up related offline channels after experiencing "Peppa Pig" and many animated feature films.

As long as the publicity and distribution work is done in place, "Car Mobilization" can also create huge commercial value in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

Someone once asked Pixar Studio, as the leader in the computer animation production industry, which is the most successful animated feature film in business?

The real result is beyond expectations.

Not "Toy Story", not "Find Nemo", nor "Robot Wallet".

But "Car Mobilization"!

The box office of this animated feature film can only be said to be average, but the revenue generated by its offline toy market is simply amazing.

Even without Disneyland, Relativity Entertainment can also be handed over to other cinemas or theme parks in an authorized manner, which can also bring considerable benefits in terms of playgrounds.

As for toys, dolls, and related authorizations, after years of development and development, these embassy films have dared not say that they can be compared with Disney, but they are also the publisher of Hollywood's second only to Disney.

The best proof of the revenue of "Peppa Pig" brought to Relativity Entertainment by nearly $650 million in the first eight months of this year.

Under the operation of Embassy Pictures, Peppa Pig is getting closer to Ronan's envisioned annual revenue of $1 billion in three years.

Of course, at the peak of "Peppa Pig", the annual operating income reached nearly 1.2 billion.

The unit is pound.

Once animated movies or series are successful, their revenue scale is often much higher than that of popular live-action movies.

For example, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, even if the brainless fan effect bonus brought by the captain is still further and further away by "Peppa Pig".

The offline effect of "Car Mobilization" is far above "Peppa Pig".

Ronan still remembers that in order to cheat subsidies, someone added an individual to his name. Lightning McQueen changed it slightly and entered the theater to be released in a grand manner.

Having said that, even when Harbor City and Hollywood movies were the most shameless, they could not reach this point.

Both followers and copycats can be understood. After all, there are many things like Hollywood and Hong Kong City film circles, but can that be explained by followers and copycats?

Because of the need for confidentiality, the situation of these two animated feature films is only within the extremely narrow range of Ronan and a few senior executives. Embassy Film will not have direct contact with the two animated feature films for the time being.

Moreover, the situation has not been determined for the time being. Before the contract is actually signed, there are variables.

Ronan knew very well that Steve Jobs looked like the same front as Relativity Entertainment, because Pixar Studio, as a simple content producer, must have a strong distribution channel to reflect value, and he himself has a demand for Netflix Network and cash...

Also, Ronan's plan seems to be able to really help Pixar Studio get the copyright back.

If the plan doesn't go well, Steve Jobs will definitely kick the Relativity Entertainment away and turn to the arms of other companies.

Even, you may turn your head and put aside your injustice.

Therefore, Ronan only regards the foreign part as a helping force to change his mind, and the real key lies in the relativity entertainment itself.

In mid-September, Scott Swift brought good news to Ronan.

"We have reached an investment agreement with the Indians, and the new investment from the Mountain Foundation has been in place, with a total amount of up to $400 million."

Scott Swift looked tired and obviously rushed to the Relativity Building as soon as he got off the plane: "The agreement with the Falchi Foundation has also been signed. Although the Falchi Foundation exceeds the Mountain Foundation, due to the failure to invest in Wall Street, they are relatively cautious this time. The first investment they cooperated with was only $350 million."

Ronan nodded slightly: "More than I expected."

Scott Swift also said: "Our new round of financing in island countries and South Korea has also achieved preliminary results. Many investors have expressed interest and are expected to have more than 200 million yuan in financing by December."

"Of course, some film companies involved in financing also have the conditions." Scott Swift said embarrassedly: "They require some actors to appear in Hollywood films and TV series, just don't have the protagonists, but the supporting roles."

Ronan said: "No problem."
Chapter completed!
