The Best Entertainment Era

Thanks to Ronan's promotion, this romantic comedy project quickly received the green light from Shahai Entertainment. The Legal Department immediately launched negotiations with James Last to push the project into the pre-planning stage.

Having said that, Ronan is in control of the creativity and project power of the entire group, and naturally there is no reason to fail.

This aspect is really overdue.

James Last is very active, and the conditions are not high. Even the project bonus that the producer must pay for buying the producer's project is only half a million dollars.

For directors, the opportunity to direct the first feature film is often the most difficult; for actors, the first important role in life requires not only acting skills and ability, but also other huge costs.

For the producer, the opportunity to run the first project independently is also rare.

James Luster has accumulated years of experience in the industry, and his luck is not bad.

He has served as an executive producer in a number of Hollywood movies, and also met Will Smith through "Boxing King Ali", and it happened that Will Smith was interested in this project again.

Once the two parties signed the project contract, James Last broke out with great enthusiasm for work and quickly promoted various tasks.

"As for the director, I plan to invite Andy Tennant."

In the office, James Luster told Ronan about his next plan: "He is an expert in making love movies. He has directed nearly ten movies, most of which are love genres. His representative works include "Love and Childhood" and " "A Good Thing Comes into Two", this year he will be directed by a "Love in Alabama" released.

Ronan has watched "Love and Childhood" and "Love Return to Alabama". The heroine of the former is Drew Barrymore, and the latter is one of Reese Witherspoon's masterpieces.

"Yes." Ronan said, "You have a preliminary contact with Andy Tennant."

James Luster asked concerned: "Will over there..."

Ronan gave him a reassurance: "Will is not a problem. Shahai Entertainment is negotiating with Will's agent, and it is progressing very smoothly."

The two parties have reached an agreement on the remuneration. Shahai Entertainment has offered Will Smith US$20 million in remuneration. Since the release of "Boxing King Ali" last year, Will Smith’s remuneration has reached US$20 million. The pay for "Men in Black 2" that has not yet been released is also US$20 million.

In "Jedi Men 2", Will Smith's salary is 20 million US dollars plus 10% of the total revenue.

This is a sequel movie, high pay and high share is normal.

In terms of non-sequel movies, Will Smith’s pay is temporarily US$20 million.

There is nothing to say in this regard, the whole Hollywood recognizes the value of Will Smith.

At present, Shahai Entertainment and Will Smith’s agent are talking about minor issues regarding the treatment of the crew.

Along with big-name stars, there are bound to be many special terms.

Even Tom Hanks, a well-known good old man in the circle, will have dozens of additional clauses in the contract.

Considering Will Smith’s high salary, Ronan told James Last: “The heroine’s salary should be compressed to less than 3 million US dollars.”

James Last said: "There are a few candidates for the heroine, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Winona Ryder."

"Julie is not suitable, the pay is too high." Ronan did not hesitate to deny a candidate. What the heroine needs is a vase, and Angelina Jolie's current route and style are also problematic. He thought for a while, and said, "Winona Ryder is also inappropriate."

This seems to have some bad habits, maybe sometime it will become a time bomb.

James Luster tentatively asked: "Charlize Theron?"

Ronan said: "She can be included on the shortlist, you continue to look for other candidates." He remembered that Charlize Theron had refused to make one time, and he was prepared: "There are always more candidates."

Having said that, Ronan seriously recalled that Charlize Theron seems to be a few years later before he can get the Oscar for Best Actress, and there is basically no threat of the Oscar curse.

But if there are other suitable candidates, Ronan will not choose Charlize Theron.

Although this South African diamond has always been a very pure vase in commercial films in the early stage, its acting skills and box office appeal are not outstanding. After getting the Oscar, it also took a special customized route, all the way to "Mad Max: Fury Road" Only then really took the box office of a movie.

Of course, as a pure vase role, Charlize Theron is still qualified.

The movie "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day" is also about to be released. The most eye-catching character in this film is Charlize Theron except for the MINI car.

Sending off James Luster, Ronan received a call from Jun Ji-hyun and wanted to invite him to dinner.

Ronan made an appointment with Scott Swift in the evening, and could only say sorry to Jun Ji-hyun, only to learn more about the recent situation of Jun Ji-hyun on the phone.

When he came to Los Angeles, Ronan threw Jun Ji-hyun to the crew of "Grey Intern". After confessing to Sanda Remus, he basically didn't care about Jun Ji-hyun.

Through the phone, Quan Jixian roughly talked about her work for more than two months.

After getting the actor contract of "Grey Intern", in addition to the necessary preparations, Jun Ji-hyun was ordered by Sanda Rems to strengthen his English in a professional language class, and because the actor recommended by Ronan could not be rejected Relationship, appropriately modified the background setting of the role, adjusted it to a generation of immigrants, to meet the situation of Jun Jixian.

However, Jun Ji-hyun's spoken language still needs to be strengthened as quickly as possible, at least to allow American audiences to understand her words smoothly.

Ronan had expected a situation similar to Jeon Ji Hyun before, but he didn't care much. After all, Hollywood has too many ways to solve it.

It really doesn't work, just dub it directly, and you don't need Jun Ji Hyun to fight for performance awards.

Ronan hung up the phone and dealt with some film projects. Embassy Pictures has already started the pre-screening promotion of "Underworld", and the film will be released in April.

Compared to "Resident Evil", "Underworld" also has its own unique advantages. Werewolves and vampires occupy a considerable weight in Western ghost legends, and even become a cultural phenomenon.

"Underworld" is of course a niche film, and the publicity must be targeted.

After finishing the work at hand, Ronan left the company an hour early and rushed to the restaurant that had been arranged with Scott Swift.

This is a typical Italian restaurant, with a typical Mediterranean style.

Ronan met Scott Swift in a business booth in the restaurant.

"The Korean investment has all been put in place." Scott said of his recent work: "It can be transferred to the crew account at any time."

Ronan nodded and asked, "You keep in touch with the long-term credit bank of the island country. I have a new project that may cost between US$70 million and US$80 million. Two investments are in place."

Scott said: "I will keep in touch with them."

Ronan said again: "You take the time to go to Mumbai again. I am almost in contact with the Indians. Go there and then try to get investment... Well, let Shahai Entertainment sign a film investment with the Pacific Foundation. protocol."

Scott thought about the schedule and said, "I will leave next week."

Ronan continued: "You have to go to Berlin too. You know Tony Koch, there are some investment matters over there, and you need to help Tony handle it."

"Okay." Scott replied.

Germany, India, South Korea and island countries are now important sources of production financing for Shahai Entertainment, and they have also solved Ronan's urgently needed funding problems.

Shahai Entertainment has made big moves one after another, but the filming funds are basically external financing, which did not put much pressure on the capital chain of Relativity Entertainment, so that Relativity Entertainment can guarantee more sufficient liquidity.

"By the way, I have a few dividend payments coming soon." This is Ronan's salary as a producer: "One for repaying the bank loan, one for guaranteeing my daily expenses, and the rest I will transfer to my personal On the accounts of the foundation."

Scott asked concerned: "Do you continue to invest in the stock market?"

Ronan nodded slightly ~www.readwn.com~ and said, "Apple and Amazon, buy as many as you can buy." He thought about it, and then said: "Pay more attention to the situation of these two companies. If shareholders want to transfer their equity, they should notify me as soon as possible, and I will find a way to raise funds to eat."

Scott said: "I will pay more attention."

After talking about work, the two chatted about the current stock market. Since the rescue of the Washington authorities last year, the stock market has been recovering. Although the speed is a bit slow, it has maintained an overall upward trend.

"I heard that the bosses of many stock brokerage companies in the past had very inspirational experiences." Ronan asked a question that he was very concerned about: "From being poor and wandering on the streets, to becoming a millionaire or even a multimillionaire."

Scott told the truth: "There are such people, but the number is very small, about the ratio of Hollywood actors and first-line Hollywood stars. The so-called American dreams reported are all examples."

He said with some helplessness: "Ordinary people play stocks, most of them are like me before."

Ronan understood what Scott meant. He wanted to go to Mexico to find a way to save the defeat.

"I forgot where I saw it. There is a report about a black stockbroker." Ronan recalled the plot of the movie and said: "It seems to be from an unemployed street tramp to a millionaire stockbroker company. boss."

Scott used to be a stockbroker and said with a smile: "I know this man. A successful man in the 1980s, named Chris Gardner, was reported in many media, an inspirational millionaire. "

Ronan remembered the name: "Chris Gardner."
