Chapter 1127 Union
Before we knew it, 2008 came to an end, and the sunshine in 2009 fell on the earth. America was still two worlds, with wailing everywhere on one side and a luxurious life on the other.
But compared with previous years, the number of people who have not many of the former can enter the latter has dropped sharply, and too many of the latter have fallen into the ranks of the former.
Many people cannot adapt to this gap and choose to use the "Leap of Faith".
However, these have little to do with relativity entertainment. In 2008, relativity entertainment developed rapidly. Whether it is movies, dramas, or related peripheral industrial chains, they all set new highs since the establishment of the group company.
Among them, "Avatar" with a global box office of up to 2.8 billion US dollars appeared.
Although "Avatar" is still being screened in the international market, it has set records that other films are difficult to break in a short period of time.
In addition, Relativity Entertainment also has two live-action movies, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Beauty and the Beast", which have a global box office of more than US$1 billion.
The latter is still popular in North American and international film markets, and $1 billion is far from the end of the box office.
As for those with a box office of over $500 million, that's too many.
The proportion of movie box office in the revenue of Relativity Entertainment has been declining, and has fallen below 15%.
In terms of episodes, except for "Grey's Anatomy" and "Peppa Pig" that continue to cooperate with ABC TV, all other episodes are handed over to Netflix's streaming platform for exclusive playback.
Correspondingly, most of the money burned by Netflix streaming fell into Shahai Entertainment's pocket.
While Shahai Entertainment continues to shoot and produce old dramas, it is also constantly developing new dramas.
"Breaking Bad" is very popular, and is currently a first-line drama like "House of Cards" and "Game of Thrones". Shahai Entertainment intends to focus on this drama, focus on the most popular characters, and develop derivative dramas.
For example, the story of the coquettish lawyer in it before meeting Lao Bai.
There are also some brand new projects.
Shahai Entertainment bought the copyright of the adaptation of a vampire "Southern Vampire" and plans to adapt it into a large-scale vampire drama, temporarily named "True Love as Blood".
In the competition with Twentieth Century Fox, he grabbed the investment opportunity of "Modern Family" starring Sofia Vergara and others, thus obtaining the copyright of this series.
The two drama producers of Sand Sea Entertainment have set their eyes on the documentary, intending to shoot a documentary about ten episodes, reflecting the real life and work status of female artists in San Fernando Valley.
This is not a heavy-tasting drama. The content may be very large, but the idea is very simple and not dirty at all. It means that through a relatively neutral and objective standpoint, it uses a camera to depict practitioners in an industry.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment has attracted many foreign projects with its so-called "value newcomers" over the years and has finalized several cooperations.
For example, the serious and serious drama, Shahai Entertainment collaborated with Michael Costa, the director of "Long Island Love", to film a drama about counter-terrorism, with the project titled "Homeland Security".
Shahai Entertainment has also further strengthened the development of the women's market. Robert King, the screenwriter and producer of "Vertical Limit", submitted a project to the company. A drama called "The Good Wife" with the so-called heroine, got the green light from Ronan.
The series has begun preparations and you can log in to Netflix's streaming platform in the fall.
Shahai Entertainment also rejected several projects, such as DreamWorks' invitation to cooperate,
Given the great success of "Brothers" that year, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks planned to work together again to shoot a war-themed miniseries with World War II as the backstory, but this time the battlefield moved from Europe to the islands in the Pacific.
The production cost of "Brothers" is as high as $125 million. The budget for this series, temporarily named "Bloody Battle of the Pacific" is even more amazing, with the production cost of up to $230 million.
Hollywood is facing a money shortage caused by the economic crisis. DreamWorks and Tom Hanks' companies are unable to afford such a high investment. Spielberg immediately found Shahai Entertainment and Netflix streaming, hoping that the two companies can generously contribute to pay for most of the investment in "Bloody Battle of Pacific".
It’s not impossible to pay, but DreamWorks refused to give up copyright. Of course, Ronan would not be such a sucker and directly politely declined Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ invitation to cooperate.
If you want Shahai Entertainment and Netflix streaming to pay, but you want to keep the copyright in mind, how can you do such a good thing?
Inspired by Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks has also stepped up activities overseas, striving to deceive money overseas.
Spielberg and Tom Hanks' name are still very attractive to investment.
Relativity Entertainment is still operating as planned in a series of good news.
Ronan always pays attention to Hollywood and the latest news related to Twentieth Century Fox.
In mid-January, there was a gossip newspaper in the UK that did not belong to the News Corp. It smelled some of the smell. In a recent weekend issue, it was claimed that in the case of William's injury some time ago, someone in the British royal family might have been food for takeaway news, or the royal family was monitored.
Although there is no clear evidence of these news, Ronan also knew that even Relativity Entertainment was hidden behind News Corporation without any silence and secretly helped them to suppress them for a while, some events were almost out of control.
Some related events will inevitably break out in the next few months, and many people will become victims.
Since this is the case, there is no need to suppress it anymore.
Ronan left Los Angeles with great fanfare and rushed to London, England to visit Jessica Felton, who was in charge of the crew of "Fast and Furious 5" at the Pinewood Studios.
Songlin Studio is the largest film studio in the UK. It has 41 studios of various types, including 10 digital TV studios, outdoor shooting parks and woodlands, and has the world's only underwater photography facilities.
The main plot of "Fast and Furious 5" takes place in London, England, so the Songlin Studio was selected as the crew's residence.
Before the crew's work today was over, Jessica Felton left the studio, returned to the hotel where she was staying, changed into a formal dress, and met Ronan, who had just returned from Downing Street, downstairs, and rushed to Kensington Palace in Chelsea.
Before coming to London, Ronan made a visit, and William and his girlfriend Kate specially hosted a banquet for Ronan and Jessica Felton in the area where they lived in Kensington Palace.
A Bentley sedan drove away from the hotel door, and David was driving, and Finch continued to sit in the passenger seat.
"There are paparazzis," Finch said.
Ronan waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, William and I have been in contact for many years, so it is normal to visit him."
Jessica Felton couldn't help saying, "They are really crazy!"
Ronan said: "They aren't crazy, where can we have a good chance."
Jessica Felton was speechless for a moment and had to ask, "Are you ready to start?"
Luo Nan nodded slightly: "It's about to explode, this is the best opportunity."
Not just because of these things, but also years of secret planning and waiting.
First, the economic crisis broke out normally, bringing a series of shocks. Then, the Dragon Ball he sent out had five, and the 20th Century Fox, plus the movie "Australia", can be said to be six.
The continuous failure of large-scale productions was that even Twentieth Century Fox could not bear the weight, and its stock price fell again and again, and its market value shrank again and again.
Next month, "Terminator 4" will be released. Twentieth Century Fox is likely to save up seven dragon balls, so he will naturally summon the dragon.
When they arrived at the area where Kensington Palace belonged to William, William and Kate were waiting at the door. When Ronan and Jessica Felton got off the car, they took a step forward, shook hands and greeted them, and said a few words.
Then, Ronan and William walked side by side in front, and Kate accompanied Jessica Felton to enter Kensington Palace.
Both parties went directly to the living room on the second floor, where there were many family photos, books, magazines, and many household items such as candles and green plants, maintaining a comfortable family atmosphere.
This is a private banquet after all.
Ronan had a simple communication when he was on the phone with William before. The two of them didn't care about the chat and laughing Kate and Jessica Felton, and entered the study together.
"Don't worry." William believed Ronan could understand: "I just had an examination here, so there would be no problem."
Ronan nodded: "I saw the news in the newspaper two days ago and couldn't believe that their hands dared to stretch out so long."
William's face was not very good: "They have violated the rules of the game."
Although he has not yet revealed it in the newspaper and has not obtained any evidence, he has already guessed it.
Ronan said in a deep voice: "Some people are too crazy."
William did not answer Ronan's words, but asked, "Are you paying attention to this?"
"To be honest, I encountered a situation similar to you some time ago." Ronan seemed to suppress his anger in peace: "Some of my private calls with Jesse and several phone calls with company executives have been eavesdropped."
William was a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't feel surprised: "They are too brave..."
"I was also surprised at that time." Ronan said roughly: "So, I specially checked it, and the result was shocking. My people followed the clues from Los Angeles to New York, from New York to Washington, and then came to London. Although the things I found were amazing, I didn't expect that they would dare to attack the royal family..."
Listening to Ronan's words, William's face became more and more serious. People of his background naturally knew that a super rich man with a net worth of over 100 billion yuan would really want to investigate, and he should find out a lot of things.
"Did you have the evidence?" William asked.
Luo Nan nodded slightly: "There is a part."
William said directly: "Ronan, let's cooperate."
The dinner started very late because Ronan and William stayed in the study for too long.
Chapter completed!
