The preliminary interview went smoothly, and Ronan then talked to him again, and Scott Swift accompanied him to visit and inspect several projects invested by the Pacific Investment Foundation, including movies and series.

Both Ronan and the Pacific Investment Foundation have shown enough sincerity in cooperation, and there is no such high-ranking attitude of traditional American companies to face Eastern investors.

Cooperation is a win-win situation, and respect is mutual, which is also conducive to attracting investors.

Moreover, this young-looking tycoon in the steel and natural resources industry is quite interested in the entertainment industry. It is said that he has an extraordinary relationship with some actresses in the local entertainment industry in his country.

Such a high-quality customer has come to Los Angeles and the Pacific Investment Foundation. Of course, Scott Swift will not pass it in vain.

After many efforts and a series of investigations by the investor and his team, the two parties finally reached an investment agreement.

Pacific Investment Fund attracted up to $400 million from the other party with a fixed annual rate of return of 6%.

I have to say that these tycoons in the natural resources industry have a lot of cash flow in their hands.

The two sides will continue to discuss subsequent cooperation depending on the specific situation.

After opening up many investment markets, the Pacific Investment Foundation has been unremittingly working hard and has attracted the attention of more and more investors with its good reputation and stable investment returns.

Especially in the East, among the first groups to become rich, there are many big shots who are interested in developing into the film industry.

For example, the one who once built an urban commercial complex will frequently invest heavily in the Hollywood and North American film markets in a few years, and once even wanted to create Oriental Hollywood.

Ronan felt that when the time and conditions were right, he could talk to him about cooperation.

This is completely different from when he first faced Arabs, that is, normal business cooperation will operate within a scope that complies with laws and rules.

Ronan also asked the Embassy Film Oriental Branch to make preparations in advance so that it would take time to get in the future.

This member, who seems to want to acquire six major Hollywood companies more than once, has never been able to make a comeback, which may be of some help to the future plans of Relativity Entertainment.

If it really doesn't work, you can also be a buyer.

After all, even if you acquire a film company, just like Relativity Entertainment swallowing Yijiang Film, some businesses are redundant for Relativity Entertainment.

But in the eyes of other companies, it may be high-quality resources that have great value and nowhere to buy even if you want to buy them.

Ronan always believes that no matter what plan it is, there are more registrations to be made.

At the same time, Robert Iger has two good news. On the one hand, after he negotiated with Avi Arad many times in private, Avi Arad will step down as CEO of Marvel Entertainment after the contract expires in September this year, and the new executive will be Ike Pamut.

Kevin Feige will be promoted to the executive president of Marvel Entertainment by then, and will be responsible for Marvel's movie and TV series projects.

On the other hand, the inspection team sent by Relativity Entertainment to Estonia returned to Los Angeles and brought back good news.

Estonia has a sincere cooperation, and its natural and cultural landscapes are also suitable for outdoor shooting. In order to attract relativity entertainment crews, not only will a professional production factory area be established, but there will also be some tax and fiscal policy tilts.

After a while, a team led by Carmen Cath and Estonian business officials will come to Los Angeles to negotiate with Relativity Entertainment.

Carmen Cath also called Ronan specifically and exchanged some opinions.

Compared with some countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Estonia also has its own advantages, such as its political situation is very stable.

The lack of some strategic-level resources is not a bad thing for many small countries.

It's bad to have a huge treasure but don't have the corresponding protection ability.

In mid-July, another copyrighted "Marls Rescue" in the hands of Relativity Entertainment was published by Random House. Similar to "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" when it was just launched, it did not cause much sensation and took time to ferment.

This is also a relatively hard-core science fiction. Reading requires a certain threshold and the audience range is relatively smaller.

But it can always bring an audience base for future movie adaptations, which is a natural advantage for adapted movies.

At present, the entire Hollywood is becoming more and more cautious about original film projects with medium investments. It is better to put it in your hands for a few more years than to invest rashly.

Shahai Entertainment has launched another new adaptation of the film this week, "The King of Seas" adapted from the comic of the same name by Mark Miller.

The copyright of the film and television adaptation of this comic has been in Shahai Entertainment for two years. In order to obtain the copyright from Mark Miller, Ronan also authorized the copyright of "Ace Agent" to Mark Miller.

At present, the new version of the comic that is closer to the past "Kingsman" has been published through Marvel Entertainment.

Under Ronan's control, the early planning of "The Sea-Balloon King" was very fast, for example, invited Gay Ritchie's deputy, and Matthew Vaughan, who served as deputy director and executive producer in "Two Big Bullets" and "Stolen and Killing" was the director of the project.

This British director was able to get into the sight of Ronan and Shahai Entertainment not because of "The Sea Flat King", but because of "Thor" that Marvel Entertainment is planning in the early stage.

Matthew Vaughn submitted information to Shahai Entertainment and wanted to apply for the director of "Thor", but Ronan's resume, especially after the recently directed movie "Sandwich Cake", felt that he was more suitable for the large-scale violent style of "Hai Ping Wang", so he simply asked Shahai Entertainment to talk to him about this project.

The two sides hit it off.

In addition, Shahai Entertainment also found relevant information about Krolo Moretz.

This actress was once a child star. She has played supporting roles in many Hollywood film and television dramas since 2004. In the first half of this year, she also participated in the voice of the Disney Children's Channel animated series "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger" in the first half of this year.

Ronan was extremely impressed by the former super-killed girl. When he thought of this project, he always thought that super-killed girl was the protagonist, and he didn't remember that there was the inexplicable male protagonist, Haibian Wang.

Judging from the information, Kloe Moretz is so cute, but the only problem is that he is only nine years old this year and is really a little younger.

Ronan did not make a decision easily if he chose Khlo Moretz or not. The information about the girl stars such as Dakota Johnson was transferred to director Matthew Vaughn. The director's opinions must be considered comprehensively.

Matthew Vaughn just took over this project and served as the screenwriter and executive producer, which means that the script will be created by Matthew Vaughn

The actual shooting will be until next year. White girls have always developed very quickly. It may take more than half a year for a little girl to grow up.

As an atypical superhero movie, a movie with a R-rated rating in the future will certainly not be as high as the Marvel superhero movie investment. It is inevitable to control the investment scale. If you spend 100 million US dollars to be filmed and produced, the possibility of this movie losing money is greater.

Ronan only set a production budget of $20 million for "The King of Seas".

If Matthew Vaughn's shooting and production can be successful, he can also be held responsible for the new "Ace Agent" later.

Regarding headshot fireworks and 100-person killing, Ronan has long been in contact with Mark Miller, and these elements that once served as great highlights will be added to the comics.

For the new version of comics, Marvel Entertainment adopts a typical comic cooperation model. Mark Miller has the creative rights, but does not have the copyright.

Today, North American comics are basically created in this way.

Like the "Civil War" that Marvel Entertainment is serializing, and the "New 52" series that DC Comics has just begun to create, are all of this type.

From science fiction to business, from large investment to small production, from horror films to literary awards, relativity entertainment has established an effective long-term mechanism.

As a typical example of literary and artistic entertainment, Ang Lee and Relativity Entertainment still have film appointments to be executed, but this type of director is different from commercial directors and often requires more free creative time and space.

"Brokeback Mountain" was officially launched from North American theaters in mid-July, and the box office in North America finally accumulated US$121.56 million, becoming the second highest-grossing film in Ang Lee after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Overseas, the cumulative box office of "Brokeback Mountain" has slowly approached US$100 million, and the global box office has exceeded US$200 million.

For such a medium-sized and low-investment film, it won a great commercial victory through the operation of the Oscars.

Ang Lee came to Ronan's office specifically.

"What are your plans next?" Ronan asked directly.

"I won't take on films rashly for the time being." Ang Lee was still scared of the failure of "The Hulk" back then: "I plan to have a good rest."

Ronan said: "Li, you have enough rest. Shahai Entertainment is not a problem. Time and plan can cooperate with you."

Ang Lee smiled and said, "Brokeback Mountain has made me understand a lot of things and completely understand my own strengths and weaknesses. I decided to temporarily emptie my mind, go around the world, look around, and continue to broaden my horizons. I believe this will be helpful to my future creation."

"This idea is great." Ronan affirmed: "Educate more different things and you will always gain something."

Ang Lee agreed: "That's what I think."

After considering it, Ronan said: "There are currently three largest film industry bases in the world, one is Hollywood and the other is Harbor City. You are very familiar with both sides of Li. My suggestion: If you have enough time, you can go around India, take a look at Bollywood movie shooting and production, and see Indian movie culture."

Ang Lee said: "India is already within my itinerary, and I wanted to visit India and Bollywood for a long time."
