In recent years, a large number of popular dramas have been born in North America, but the fantasy series has never appeared on the TV series program list during prime time.

This type of drama seems to have always lacked works that can hold the tripod.

To a certain extent, the first person to take the lead in the drama production industry often gets the greatest benefits.

The first popular work of a certain type of drama will bring great influence.

For example, the former "The Walking Dead".

The biggest problem that troubles fantasy themes is undoubtedly investment.

The high production costs are usually a major reason why fantasy series cannot be released. Even if Shahai Entertainment invests as much as $60 million in a single season, when filming the first season of "Game of Thrones", it will focus more on the development of characters, characters and plots, and avoid those large-scale war scenes.

The scenes of large-scale wars cost a lot. After all, this is not a commercial film during the summer season, but a TV series that pays more attention to the plot. In addition, it is the first season. Instead of spending money on the scenes of wars, it is better to further polish the plot.

In fact, the full outbreak of war in the original work did not begin to appear until the first volume.

Fantasy creatures like Benton King will only flash in a flash in the first season.

Without these fantasy creatures, the huge amount of money spent on cg production can undoubtedly be saved.

Since Shahai Entertainment won a tax refund discount of up to $6 million from Bulgaria, after professional inspection, Ronan did not hesitate to set the main shooting base of the series in Southeast European countries such as Bulgaria, and at the same time, it was basically confirmed that the scenes of Westeros will be filmed in Sofia.

There are also several outdoor inspection teams, who are also dispatched in advance to find suitable outdoor shooting venues in Europe and the United States.

Ronan also communicated and exchanged enough with the main creators. "Game of Thrones" is not a teenage film and television work as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but a series for adult audiences to watch, ideal finished series, luxury, blood, darkness, weirdness, and sometimes amazing sweetness, malice and kindness intertwined, just as unpredictable as life.

In addition, the core concept of the series was erected by George Martin early on in the creation of the script - there is no absolute justice, only eternal power!

George Martin's thoughts are actually fully reflected in his works. For example, before everyone dies, they think they are the protagonist of the world, but in fact only history is.

Although in the eyes of many high-end power drama fans, "Game of Thrones" is more like a medieval village and town play, its huge commercial success is obvious.

The conspiracy or battles in the series may not be as high as possible, the more complex as possible. Once the audience cannot understand it, the tragic incident of abandoning the drama will definitely happen.

Once this happens, it will undoubtedly bring huge losses to the production company.

The crew has only identified two main actors for the time being, and the other actors have to be solved through auditions. As for the former Dragon Mom, Ronan has no idea where he was.

Speaking of which, that was also a very magical actress. As long as she smiled, her appearance immediately collapsed...

The actor who plays Sansha must have to replace him. The one who was too strong once, and later played Phoenix in the X-Men. It is said that the later collapse of the "X-Men" series of movies has a direct relationship with the failure of Phoenix casting.

"X-Men: Fat Phoenix" is not bad.

Hollywood casting is sometimes really fascinating, like Disney once chose black people to star in "The Little Mermaid", and the industry and the industry understand why this is.

But characters like Fat Phoenix can easily leave a bad impression on the audience at first glance, and casting is simply disastrous.

Ronan still remembers that after a colleague watched "Game of Thrones", he said that the actress: A strong man can kill and peel it with one punch and pretend to be weak, and casting a role treats the audience like a fool.

Speaking of 1996, how can you not lose your life in 1969?

Perhaps it is because of the aesthetic problem of Twentieth Century Fox.

Ronan remembers that the two actors who entered Phoenix's last choice, one is Sanshu and the other is Saoirse Ronan, who are basically born with old appearances.

In terms of actors, Relativity Entertainment has also signed a new cooperation agreement with Caa, and the two parties will continue to carry out in-depth cooperation in film and series production.

Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, produces more than 20 film and television projects every year, and will provide employment opportunities for a large number of actors.

Ronan also emphasized at a high-level meeting of Shahai Entertainment that it is necessary to ensure the legitimate and legitimate rights and interests of cooperative actors.

It is now 2006. The 20-year contract signed by major producers and major trade unions in Hollywood will expire in two years.

The major union organizations in Hollywood have never been a decoration, so many things are completely expected.

A new strike is bound to happen and cannot be avoided.

Ronan is also preparing in advance, such as accumulating scripts so as not to find the screenwriter when he gets it.

It is easy to say for actors, directors, and even those technical jobs. The requirements of the first two can always be met by the producers, and the requirements of the latter will not be too excessive. Generally, they are just a mess and share more cakes.

What is really troublesome is just the screenwriter, just like the general strike in 1988.

As the boss and investor of the film company, Ronan naturally stands in an opposing position with the screenwriter.

In early September, a business inspection team from Estonia came to Los Angeles and started negotiations with Relativity Entertainment on various commercial cooperations in films.

The Estonian side led the team was Carmen Cath and one of their Commerce Ministers, who came with great sincerity.

Ronan also attaches great importance to it. After all, if cooperation can be achieved, the crew of Relativity Entertainment will go to Estonia to shoot in the future, and Estonia will be able to provide large tax refunds and financial subsidies.

All of these can effectively reduce the cost of a single project.

So Ronan asked Robert Eiger to form a special team to negotiate with the Estonian delegation.

Just like negotiations with Bulgaria and Romania, it not only includes tax refunds and subsidies, but also involves various copyright protections of Relativity Entertainment in the other party’s market.

Since its development to the present, one of the key factors that restrict the development of relativity entertainment in the overseas market includes piracy.

The sales of peripheral products rely heavily on copyright protection.

“The company has a statistics.”

In the reception room on the top floor of the Relativity Building, Ronan said to Carmen Cath, who was dressed in professional clothing: "Since this year, Relativity Entertainment's losses in overseas markets may reach US$1 billion due to piracy."

Carmen Keith said: "This problem is really a headache and I am very troubled. My book and clothing company has also exposed infringement losses, but it cannot be solved because of the legal issues in neighboring countries."

Ronan poured her a glass of water and said, "Fortunately, the business environment has been improving overall, and the market for joining rules and order is also increasing."

Carmen Cath picked up the cup, took a sip, looked at Ronan's reception room, and said, "I still remember you were working in a small office building in Burbank, and the office was broken and old."

Ronan answered, "At that time, it would be nice to have a place to work." He laughed, "I remember there was a newsstand under the company building. What middle-aged women selling newspapers most wanted to see was that I jumped off the old building."

"I guess she was disappointed?" Carmen Cath smiled happily: "You have become the most successful person who has walked out of that old building."

She tilted her head and looked at Luo Nan: "Looking back, you worked really hard back then, and your success is worthy of your efforts."

Luo Nan waved his hand: "I can't fight. At that time, I can cheat if I can, and I can cheat if I can. In order to find funds, I almost sold myself."

Carmen Cath joked: "If I had known this, I would have bought you."

Ronan shrugged: "You were short of financial resources at that time. I went to the Middle East specifically to find money. Now when I think about it, I have to thank the Arabs, who are my lucky stars."

Carmen Cath said with a smile: "I guess they won't think so, right?"

Ronan said frankly: "I am now neighbors with them, living in peace and helping each other."

In Manchester United, he and the Abu Dhabi consortium are indeed neighbors.

Carmen Cath whispered: "Things in the past are always very beautiful when you think about it."

"This is called the emotional effect." Ronan continued: "People are always nostalgic, especially as they grow older, the best things are always in memory."

Once a group of colleagues born in the 1980s got together. When they talked, they always talked about how delicious chicken, duck and fish they were when they were young. When they grew up, they ate all kinds of hard dishes, but they never found the taste of them when they were young.

This is more of a sentimental effect than a taste bud.

Even if I brought the things I had when I was a child, they still didn’t taste like I remember.

Carmen Cath seemed to be considering Ronan's words seriously: "The management and marketing experts I hired have also said similar things. Feelings can always become the selling point of the product, such as fashionable retro, which is also a kind of emotional effect."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "It can be so good."

After chatting about business, he asked, “How long have you been in Los Angeles?”

"I'm not sure yet, I'll stay for a while," said Carmen Cath. "Since I'm here in Los Angeles, I'll always meet those old friends."

Ronan said: "Depending on when you have time, I will hold a welcome party for you at home."

Carmen Cath didn't even politely to Ronan: "Okay."

The knock sounded, and Connie pushed the door in at this time, looked at Carmen Cath first, and then said to Ronan: "Will Smith is here, I have something urgent to ask you, I'll take him to your office."

Carmen Cath immediately offered to say goodbye: "I'll leave first, you can do it."

Ronan sent Carmen Cath out of the reception room, and when she entered the elevator, she walked to the office and asked, "Have you said something specific?"
