Chapter 286 The Legend of the Melee Mage
These two foundations, one of which belongs to Ronan, is entirely owned by Ronan, and is called the Anderson Foundation. They are mainly engaged in financial and securities investment businesses, and the investment funds are also raised by Ronan.
Another company is called the Pacific Film Foundation, which is a partner. Currently, there are only two partners, Ronan and Tony Koch. The main business is film production investment, and the investment funds are public fundraising.
The former is Ronan can start operations as long as he completes the capital injection, while the latter has a long way to find funds.
The two foundations are currently temporarily under the responsibility of Scott.
In addition, the two offshore foundations registered in the Cayman Islands have also entered the planning stage. Attorney Diane has contacted international intermediaries and will complete the registration within the year.
Ronan's personal funds began to be transferred to the Anderson Foundation, waiting for the bottom of the 9/11 incident.
For the Pacific Film Foundation, Ronan personally made several calls with Tony Koch, and Tony Koch would help promote the film investment foundation in Germany.
Shahai Entertainment is about to enter Hollywood's first-line productions, and the production cost of each film will be as high as more than 100 million US dollars, which also means a large amount of capital investment. Relative to the entertainment industry has limited cash flow and it is impossible to spend its own liquidity on film production. It is necessary to seek investment from the outside.
Ronan plans to wait until after September to visit India. If there is any progress in the Embassy Film Tokyo office, he will also go to the island country.
There is also South Korea, you can also try to raise funds there.
Hollywood movies are still quite attractive to Japanese and Korean funds. Otherwise, after Robert Iger came to power in his previous life, Disney would not have created a Pacific Torx Film Foundation that absorbed investment from island countries.
In fact, since the early 1990s, the shadow of Japanese and Korean funds can be seen behind the Hollywood film budget, and DreamWorks has a close relationship with South Korea's Samsung Group and the Lee family.
The two countries know Hollywood, and many people are also investing in Hollywood, which also helps absorb investment.
As early as when Ronan asked Scott to build the foundation, he had already asked people to collect relevant information and also knew the names and general situations of some financial institutions in Japan and South Korea that have invested in Hollywood.
Only with goals can you make targeted plans.
Hollywood is taking the path of internationalization, which includes the source of funds for filming and making movies.
Of course, Ronan is very clear that to absorb funds from these countries, he must do things according to the contract and Hollywood's consistent rules. Otherwise, if his reputation is bad, it will not only cause a lot of trouble, but will also affect the next step of financing.
Relativity Entertainment has gone through the most difficult stage, and Ronan has no intention of doing messy things in this regard. Hollywood's inherent rules are already very beneficial to film manufacturers.
At the same time, Ronan once again seriously considered whether to go to the East Country by the way. "Spy Shadows" has been released there. With its reputation as Hollywood and the social situation there, the Film Foundation can definitely absorb funds from the East Country, and even hundreds of millions of dollars is not a problem.
Moreover, he will play this funding game according to the rules, so naturally there is no problem of whether it is cheated or not. Everyone just does things according to the rules.
The only concern is the rampant divine beast, after all, there is no reason to say.
If you say you can do it, you can do it, it’s okay if you can’t do it; if you can’t do it, it’s not okay, it’s not okay if you can.
Let's talk about the situation then.
Luo Nan could only think so. If he could get enough funds from other places, there was no need to go to the Eastern Kingdom. If anything happened, it would affect the review of the film after the large scissors.
There are no clear standards for large scissors. If you say you can't do it, you won't know where the problem is if you check it yourself.
In contrast, island countries and South Korea are preferred.
The island country is full of artists. Who are the famous artists of this era? It seems that time is too far away and I don’t remember it…
In Korea, the entertainment industry over there is even more interesting. If Hollywood brokerage companies are service providers, the brokerage companies over there are simply the masters of celebrities.
I heard that they like to let their celebrities accompany important people or customers...
The unspoken rules are the best Koreans play. It is no one who can force so many actresses to commit suicide.
Ronan felt that if he went to South Korea, as the owner of a Hollywood film company and a famous producer, he seemed to be a big shot. Will he be entertained with kindness?
Song Hye Kyo, Jeon Ji-hyun...Who else is the famous Korean actress in this era?
Unfortunately, Ronan is not as unfamiliar with the Korean entertainment industry as the island country, and is even less familiar with the artists of the island country.
By the way, when did the Thigh Time debut?
This thought flashed through Ronan's head and then threw it aside. What he had to consider was much more important than this.
Since March 2000, the US economy has been in a very recession, and it seems that there are some signs of recovery, but this recovery has been quickly extinguished, causing the social and economic situation to continue to turbulent.
For more than a year, Ronan has been staring at the company called Netflix and the investigation and consulting agency it hires, and will send a detailed information about Netflix every week.
Ronan knows this Internet company as much as his own Shahai Entertainment.
If 911 wasn't coming, he might have taken action against Netflix.
But now we can wait for a while before the social and economic environment becomes worse.
Internet companies cannot exist without society no matter how they do. Changes in the social and economic situation will further affect Netflix, which is already in a difficult situation.
Over the past year, Reed Hastings has made various struggles, but unfortunately the overall environment is not good, Netflix itself is limited in strength, and its direct competitor is a giant like PepsiCo, and no investors have been found at all.
Although the online leasing business is gradually developing, the lack of funds means lack of content and lack of capital to attract customers to pay.
Netflix's model in previous lives has had an impact on Hollywood, and may even subvert Hollywood's traditional film and television distribution model.
Luo Nan knew very well that new media outside the traditional distribution channels would be an important capital for Relativity Entertainment to have competitiveness in the future.
The six major Hollywood companies have considerable influence on cinema companies and traditional distribution channels, but they have no absolute advantages in the synchronous development of online video business.
Although the six major Hollywood teams are both cooperative and competitive, it is impossible to work together to strangle a certain film company, and will only adopt a loose alliance suppression method like DreamWorks, if the future is not good and the strangle of several powerful competitors at the same time, Relativity Entertainment has a broad enough new media channel, at least it can ensure that it survives, rather than having to sell itself to the six major companies like DreamWorks.
Although the huge plan has just begun, watching the blueprint work hard and become a reality little by little, Ronan will not let it become a bubble easily.
In Ronan's conception, Relativity Entertainment is an entertainment media group that mainly produces and publishes content.
This also determines the difficulty and difficulty of the plan, and may even not be achieved.
There are too many companies in Hollywood, like DreamWorks, on the way to development.
Ronan doesn't want Relativity Entertainment to be one of them.
DreamWorks has many problems now, but its performance is still excellent. In the first half of 2001, even though Relativity Entertainment produced and released three hit movies, "House of Death", "Spy Shadows" and "Deadly Behind", the box office performance in North America is still not as good as DreamWorks.
In the past six months, DreamWorks has won more than US$400 million in North American box office with films such as "Monster Shrek", "Artificial Intelligence", "Mexican" and "Evolution".
With a comprehensive box office statistics of North America in half a year, DreamWorks not only ranked first in the second-tier film companies, but also beat Sony Columbia, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.
Box office does not mean everything to film companies, but it is the basis of new film revenue.
DreamWorks' outstanding performance still firmly attracts the hatred of the six major companies.
Under the cover of DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment quietly squeezed into the forefront of second-tier film companies, but Ronan knew very well that Warner Bros.'s new Line Film Company would explode soon.
The first part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will be officially released at the end of this year.
This is one of Ronan's favorite movie series in his previous life. Unfortunately, Tolkien's film copyright has long been sold. After he came to Los Angeles, Xinyi Film has completed the integration of film copyright with the support of the Weinstein brothers and started the preparation of the trilogy.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy created too many glory, and New Zealand director Peter Jackson even jumped into the ranks of top Hollywood directors.
Although he failed after leaving Tolkien, Peter Jackson also left a strong mark in the history of film.
There is also Gandalf. Ronan saw too many memes about Gandalf in his previous life.
In the setting of the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf is a Maiya, commonly referred to as a demigod, proficient in melee combat and spells.
In Peter Jackson's movie, spell effects were probably too expensive, and Gandalf became a mediocre unit, so that at that time, Gandalf was given as an idol on the Internet in the East Country, and there were many memes about game mages adding points.
For example, add lighting for spells, and add strength and system for the rest. Weapons must learn a two-handed sword or a one-handed sword. When fighting, put a lighting technique, wheel sword on it.
Even Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movie has influenced the fighting style of the mage protagonists at some point in his previous life.
Sword peddling with one hand and wisdom stick with the other, killing one person with ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles away.
The white-robed Gandalf left behind the legend of endless melee mages.
Ronan got good news when studying overseas fundraising and foundation operations. Shanda Remus returned to Los Angeles from Seattle, and the first draft of the script for "Grey's Anatomy" has also been completed.
Chapter completed!
