At the rest of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel lobby, Ronan was looking through an invitation letter. This was specially sent by Ang Lee, the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", to invite Ronan to attend the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards reception a few days later.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not been officially released in North America yet, related publicity and public relations work has already begun.

Ang Lee devoted all his energy to it, and of course these film critics who could sway the flag and shout were not spared.

"We'll stay here for two more days." Ronan put down the invitation letter and said to Robert: "When Marvel takes back the copyright of Iron Man before going back."

Marvel urgently needed money, and as soon as the agreement was signed, she contacted Xinyi Film and Television to discuss the recycling of Iron Man's copyright.

Although Xinyi Film has asked for a high price of US$3.5 million, if Shahai Entertainment pays the bill, Marvel's negotiations are basically smooth, and it will soon sign a copyright recycling agreement with Xinyi Film.

The wandering son is going home, but unfortunately the parents bought it back just to sell it for a better price.

Marvel superheroes of this era, who are famous enough, live a life of turbulence.

Robert asked at this time: "By the way, Avi Arad asked me yesterday when will these authorized characters start adapting the movie?"

"Don't worry," said Ronan: "At the earliest, it will be five years later, or even seven or eight years later. With the strength of relativity entertainment, the recent adaptation will not be maximized."

If you want to maximize your interests, you will also look at how far the Relativity Entertainment can develop and whether there are suitable opportunities.

Moreover, the Hulk's copyright is still in the hands of Universal Pictures.

In his previous life, Universal Pictures used the Hulk card Marvel and Disney to die.

After "Invincible Hulk", Marvel had repeatedly wanted to take back the copyright of the Hulk and shoot a single-player movie. However, once the filming was done, it would give Universal a lot of rights and profits, which made Marvel's senior executives very troubled, resulting in even the great success of "Avengers", not filming another Hulk's independent movie.

And Spider-Man…

Sony Columbia is already preparing for this "Spider-Man" movie. As long as the box office is as successful as in previous lives, Sony will definitely hold on to Spider-Man's thighs.

In his previous life, DreamWorks Films would release Spielberg when encountering problems, and Sony Columbia Pictures would film Spider-Man when they had poor performance.

Robert reminded: "There are key funding issues when shooting superhero movies. This type of movie requires too many special effects, and special effects are very costly."

Ronan nodded gently: "So, before we start the superhero film project, we must establish more complete and broad fundraising channels."

Special effects cannot be faked at all. Special effects can be distinguished at a glance by spending $30 million and $50 million, and there is no place to take advantage of the opportunity.

But superhero movies are the type that needs special effects the most.

Ronan roughly remembers that in 2005, Marvel decided to start filming the "Iron Man" movie, but funding is still a big problem. The budget for "Iron Man" is not something Marvel can afford. So Marvel signed an agreement with Merrill Lynch to mortgage the copyrights of many characters such as Thor and Captain America, in exchange for nearly $100 million in investment.

If Iron Man fails, Marvel will not have another chance, as Merrill Lynch will immediately have the copyright to the mortgaged character.

This is a big gamble. When Marvel won the bet, it also used the method of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Ronan remembered another thing and asked: "How is the copyright of that short story Anne Plux?"

"No contact yet." Robert said the truth: "When I came to New York, I kept staring at Marvel and had not talked to Anne Plux yet."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Christmas is coming soon. You go back to Los Angeles to take a vacation. It's not too late to come and talk after the New Year."

In this era, how many people are interested in the copyright of gay novels or short stories?

Even Ang Lee chose this project, but he was forced to have no choice but to die.

Ang Lee is not suitable for pure commercial movies, the author's style is too strong, that "Hulk"...

Ronan never thought of going over and reminding Ang Lee that if Universal Pictures did not fall a big hit on the Hulk project, it would be too difficult to get the Hulk's copyright.

In the past life, perhaps it was the Hulk's crushing defeat that led to the "Invincible Hulk" co-operating with Marvel and Universal Pictures, and the Hulk joined the Avengers.

It is difficult to get copyright from the hands of six major companies, and the opportunity is too rare.

Anyway, there is no need to do anything, just wait steadily.

Ronan talked to Robert about the acquisition of copyright. He suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing from the corner of his eyes, and soon a low quarrel came from the rest table behind him.

One of them sounds a little familiar.

Looking back, Ronan saw a low-headed Asian man saying something angrily. Opposite was a very tall white girl, who was about 1.8 meters tall.

The two of them were not very loud and spoke quickly. They couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but they were obviously quarreling.

The tall girl Ronan met and met several times before. Angela Lindelwald, now the hottest supermodel, was just named the 2000 Model of the Year this month.

The Asians who quarreled with her looked strange. From the standards of Westerners to treat Asians, they looked very unique and recognizable.

But from the Asian aesthetic point of view, this woman has small eyes, a flat nose, a freckled face, and a face that looks like a pancake. She looks very strange and looks like a live version of a ghost doll flower at first glance.

Ronan recognized her, after all, this face has appeared in many Hollywood movies.

Compared with Dai Wen Aoki, the traditional American big girl Angela Lindevo is simply a stunning beauty.

The quarrel lasted less than a minute, and Devin Aoki seemed to take the initiative to give in and leave quickly. Angela Lindelwald turned his head and happened to see Ronan.

The two met, and Ronan had no choice but to say hello to her with a smile: "Good morning, Anji."

"Ronan." Angela Linderman's originally cold face appeared on his face: "Why are you here?"

Seeing these two people greeting, Robert was very tactful and whispered: "I'll leave first, call me if you have something to do."

Without waiting for Ronan to respond, Robert left directly.

Ronan looked at Angela Lindelwald: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Angie."

"I'm here to work in New York." Angela Lindelwald said with a smile: "I just checked into the hotel yesterday."

Ronan tried to invite and said, "Please sit down."

Angela Lindelwald came over, sat opposite Ronan and said, "Isn't your company in Los Angeles?"

"Come on a business trip in New York," Ronan said: "I stay in this hotel, too."

Angela Lindelwald asked, "Carmen is here too?"

Ronan knew that she was asking Carmen Cath, sighed lightly and said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Angela Lindelwald immediately understood the meaning of Ronan dialect and said, "Sorry..."

"It's okay." Ronan explained briefly: "Carmen's career is in Europe, and I am in the United States."

Angela Lindelwald nodded slightly, it seemed that the two people had a reason to break up, and said, "Carmen is a very professional person."

Ronan nodded and then asked, "Is Carmen in New York?"

"No, she rarely comes to work in the United States." Angela Lindelwald glanced at Ronan and said specifically: "You have been with Carmen for so long, you should know that she rarely comes to the United States."

Ronan said: "Yes, that's the problem."

Angela Lindevo raised his eyebrows and looked like an old fox. He said, "If divided by region, Carmen is a European model, and American models like me are American models. European models are basically focused on Europe. Although American models often work in Europe, they actually stay in the United States most of their time."

She also said: "For example, Davin Aoki, who just now, is American and is often in New York."

Ronan asked deliberately: "She is also a model?"

"Yes." Angela Lindelwald seemed to have calmed down: "Devon Aoki is still a very powerful model. He replaced Naomi Campbell two years ago and became Versace's number one spokesperson. This year he snatched the advertisement for a product under Chanel from me."

She seemed very open-minded: "This is also the reason why I quarrel with her."

Ronan is not surprised that actress fights are everywhere in Hollywood, and the more competitive modeling circle will not be much better.

"I'm a little strange." Ronan half-doubled and half-doubted, standing on Angela Lindelwald's side: "Daiwen Aoki looks so weird, why do anyone ask her to be the endorsement?"

Hearing this, Angela Lindelwald couldn't help laughing, and she was still very happy.

Because she has a good relationship with Carmen Cath, she has known Ronan for Carmen Cath before and knows that this is the boss of Hollywood Film Company and a big shot who makes hundreds of millions of dollars in a movie.

Such a person with status and status vaguely praised her and belittled Dai Wen Aoki in his words, making people feel quite happy.

Ronan could detect Angela Lindelwald's changes and asked deliberately: "Is what I said wrong? I know that models pay attention to recognition, but this recognition should not be like Angie, you. It is amazing at first glance. Can you keep it in your mind?"

Angela Lindelwald was very helpful and shrugged playfully, saying, "The right to speak in the fashion circle is in the hands of a very small number of people. Devin Aoki is now the darling of Karl Lagerfeld."

Ronan could only sigh inwardly that Karl Lagerfeld's aesthetic is really extraordinary, and he has transcended all mankind.

Think about the models who were highly praised by Carl Lagerfeld, except for a very few, they are more normal, and most of them have a very good appearance.

It's really recognizable.
