Chapter 886

St. John's Nursing Home in San Francisco Bay Area.

This nursing home, which is affiliated to a private medical institution, is well-known throughout the United States. After Steve Jobs returned from India, his condition was stable, he temporarily transferred here to recuperate.

When Ronan came over, Laurena Jobs came to the door of the nursing home to greet him.

"Is Steve better?" Ronan asked with concern.

Laurenna Jobs led the way and said as she walked, "The situation has stabilized." She smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to visit him."

Ronan politely said: "It should be that Steve and I are both friends and partners."

Laurenna Jobs didn't say much and took Ronan toward a quiet courtyard.

Just as he wouldn't be so stupid that he persuaded Steve Jobs not to go to India, Ronan had no idea of ​​persuading Laurena Jobs.

Luo Nan knew very well that a woman who could make the scumbag leader Qiao, who was similar to him, was definitely not an ordinary person.

There is no need to say much about the great achievements of Gang Qiao. After all, "everyone on earth knows it", but he also has a strange side, and not only is it strange, but in the world of love, he is simply an absolute scumbag, a man and a control crazy.

Laurenna Jobs, the destined future richest woman in Silicon Valley.

To be honest, if a woman does not have very powerful abilities, she would not have so much, whether it is property or the legendary Jobs.

When he entered the courtyard, Steve Jobs sat on a chair under the promenade. He was in good spirits, but he looked much thinner.

"Steve." Laurenna's voice was loud: "Ronan is here."

Ronan listened to the roaring shouts, looked at Laurenna and Jobs curiously, and was a little curious about the way these two got along.

Jobs waved to Ronan: "Ronan, come and talk."

Laurenna smiled at Ronan embarrassedly and said, "You guys talk, I'll prepare snacks."

"Thank you." Ronan saw him turn and leave, and walked along the corridor to Jobs: "Good morning, Steve."

Jobs shook hands with Ronan, greeted him and sat casually, and said, "How can I have time to come?"

Ronan leaned against the chair and said, "Old friend is sick, so he always has to come and see him."

"I'm afraid I'll die now?" Jobs's speech was still as direct and unpleasant as ever: "Then it affects your investments and Relativity Entertainment."

Faced with such a Jobs, Ronan also did not deny: "Steve, we are tied together now."

Even though Jobs was seriously ill, he still tried to take the initiative in his discourse: "Don't worry, even if I die, Apple will still follow the current path, and Pixar Studios will still execute the established trading plan with Relativity Entertainment."

He glanced at the entrance of the courtyard: "I've talked to Laurenna long ago. Even if there is an unexpected situation, she will implement our plan."

Ronan thought of Laurenna and asked, "Steve, you are very happy."

"Of course, Laurenna is my tigress." Steve Jobs took the initiative: "I flew happily to the sky."

He did not hide this: "The happiness of Laurenna and me is something that you, a bachelor, cannot understand."

Luo Nan smiled but said nothing.

Jobs seemed to be showing off: "We have had happy days, sad days, but never bad days."

Ronan really doesn't know how to respond. He can make Jobs, who often talk about the windows operating system under development in front of Bill Gates, said such words. Laurenna Jobs is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, rumors about Laurena's scheming have emerged in the media and circles.

For example, Laurenna's college roommate said in the media that Laurenna met Jobs for the first time, and it was carefully planned, etc.

But at the level of Ronan and Jobs, I don’t think this would be a problem.

For an excellent and powerful person, scheming and means are never derogatory terms.

Steve Jobs quickly turned the topic back: "Pixar Studios is already recognized as the number one in the industry, and I hope you don't mess it up in the future."

Ronan said naturally: "I paid such a big price, of course, Pixar Studios will continue to be strong."

Jobs said: "Don't underestimate Disney animation studios. They have a deep foundation and may catch up at any time once they adjust."

No one knows this better than Ronan. Disney's animated films have become stronger after undergoing transformation.

“If they are too far behind, it will be not easy to catch up,” Ronan said: “Disney Animation Studio…”

Jobs naturally responded: "We must weaken Disney as much as possible."

Ronan learned about the grudges and hatred between Jobs and Disney and asked, "Can't you let it go?"

Jobs asked back: "If it were you, could you let go?" He reminded again: "Don't forget what you said."

Ronan smiled: "A Disney that is constantly chaotic is not in the interests of relativity entertainment?"

"I understand that you invest in Pixar Studio." Jobs held the armrest of the chair and asked a question: "Why are you continuing to invest in Apple?"

Ronan was not surprised by Jobs's problem and said: "At the beginning, I thought Steve Jobs was worth investing, but later I learned that Apple has a smart phone development plan..."

Instead of continuing to say it, he asked, "Steve, why do you have to ask for a stake in Netflix?"

Steve Jobs glanced at Ronan and said slowly: "The mobile smart terminal represents the future, I believe it." He stretched out his hand and gestured to the mobile phone: "The future, social, music, audio and video, entertainment, and even finance and stocks can be operated through such a small terminal. Your Netflix Network is the Internet company that best meets my future expectations. Like Apple, it represents the future! And the future has unlimited value!"

Ronan smiled: "Steve, we are actually the same type of people, so I no longer need to give you a reason, right?"

Jobs also smiled: "It's really not necessary."

It focuses on Internet interactive entertainment and focuses on mobile terminals. It is also a leading company in the industry. Apart from Netflix Network, there is no other company.

Ronan glanced at the watch and said, "You need a rest, I won't be disturbed for a long time."

Jobs didn't try to keep him, and stood up to see him off: "Ronan, I'm a little sensible person. If you want me to live longer, let Disney continue to be in chaos."

Maybe Jobs has problems of this and that, but it is very clear to see things. Ronan certainly hopes that Jobs will live a few more years, and should say: "I like a Disney that continues to be confused and weak."

So, in a short period of time, he and Jobs had many of the same interests.

As for the long term, there is no need to think too much about it. After all, what Jobs suffered from pancreatic cancer.

Ronan left the sanatorium, went to Netflix again, and returned to Los Angeles that day.

The next day, he met John Waters, at the Relativity Building, whom George Clint made an appointment with him.

This "trash pope" in the director circle is exactly the opposite of the most famous character in his works, and is so thin.

After a few greetings from the two, Ronan went straight to the topic: "John, I want to confirm something first. According to my understanding, the new Line Film Company, the opera adaptation of "Hairspray" has also participated. Is the copyright clear?"

John Waters is not a newcomer to Hollywood. Of course, he understood what Ronan meant and immediately said: "I was the first to cooperate with Xinyi Films for this project. Since two years ago, I submitted this project to Xinyi Films. Robert Shay also promised to invest, but I waited for two years, Xinyi Films has been unwilling to fulfill its promise."

He seemed a little emotional, spoke very fast, and was a little excited: "Last week, I went to Robert Shay again, but he said that all the funds of Xinyi Film were invested in "Golden Compass" and asked me to wait for another year. I have enough and don't want to wait any longer. I happened to see "Mama Mia" from Relativity Entertainment. You have a lot of funds and have guarantees in the shooting and production of singing and dancing movies..."

After saying so much, John Waters never mentioned the point.

Ronan had to ask again: "Copyright is in your hands?"

"Yes, I can guarantee this." John Waters finally replied: "I found funds for the film in 1988, and the copyright was always in my hands. When adapting the opera, I tried my best to retain the copyright in order to shoot the movie."

Ronan said: "I declare in advance that if you cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, the copyright of the movie must belong to Relativity Entertainment. You are an old man in the industry and know the practices in the industry."

"I understand," said John Waters. "But you have to buy out at a reasonable price."

Ronan said: "I won't talk about the buyout for now, let's talk about your project."

John Waters asked, "Have you read my plan and script?" Seeing Ronan nodding, he said, "I was lying on the bed in a small apartment in the slums of Baltimore. I once watched the local TV dance show "Buddy Dean Show" and was quickly attracted. At that time, like all white kids, I was always listening to black music secretly, and we could hear three black radio stations."

He thought for a while and said, "I believe this will be a resonant film. It is interesting and also pays attention to some social issues, but I will never talk about big things. What I want to explain here is that never fat girls have ever participated in the Buddy Dean Show in real life, which is why I created the heroine. For me, a fat girl like the heroine is a person who is destined to fail. Her dream is to dance on TV - representing the wishes of everyone who is discriminated against."
