Sitting at the conference table, Mary Claire flipped a few drawings and finally stayed on the heroine's picture.

With a long nose and big head, she could tell at a glance that this was an anthropomorphic cartoon piglet.

Is this animated short film about pigs?

In fact, it doesn’t matter what you make, it depends on the company’s plan, which is just a work used to let them practice.

Ronan simply said: "What I provide is only a character and general image. You need to do the specific work. We will discuss it after making a plan."

Chris Raynard said: "Yes."

Ronan said again: "I have asked the screenwriter department to design the specific story. Please pay attention to the character's personality. This is a pink pig named Peppa. In terms of personality, overall self-esteem, arrogant, and a bit willful. Girls of the same age are the leader."

He thought for a while: "The name of the short film is "Peppa Pig."

No one else has any objection.

Eric Veron has been looking at the character design, with only four main characters, Papa Pig, Mom Pig, Page and George.

A typical family of four is a typical American middle-class family.

Ronan looked at the time and said, "Let's just do it for the time being. If you have any questions, communicate with me in time."

After the meeting, everyone left the conference room one after another.

Ronan didn't stay for too long, so he made an appointment with Hans Jimo to discuss the soundtrack for "Pirates of the Caribbean".

As for "Peppa Pig", it's just a short film for the time being, just leave it to Chris Renard and others to do it.

After the short film is released, it is not too late to consider the subsequent animated series. This kind of animation is much simpler than animated film production, and it can also be used as a training work in the early stages of the animation production department.

Ronan has made certain changes to the setting, and has changed the magic to the American version. If he can get an Oscar nomination or award for the best short film, the promotion will be smoother later.

The content of the animated short film reflects the warmth of the family. If animated series is really released in the future, it will be seriously childish.

The animation production department always needs to practice before making high-investment animation feature films, and it has to invest money no matter how much it is. The investment in this animation is limited, and even if it fails, it will not cause much loss.

If it succeeds...

In his previous life, this was one of the most profitable animated series around the world since entering the new century.

It is said that the annual revenue is more than one billion US dollars.

Moreover, compared with the team who worked on "Peppa Pig" in their previous life, the resources of Relativity Entertainment are much richer than theirs.

This is also the advantage.

Before Ronan confirmed this plan, in addition to the US Copyright Office, he also specially commissioned Embassy Films' branch in the UK to do the same preliminary inquiry work, and there was no copyright registration for related pig-type animation works or dolls and other products.

Next week, he will send lawyer Dinah to register related copyrights in many countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

If a similar work is published later, it will infringe on the copyright of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan just made the character setting, and the specific story writing was handed over to the screenwriter department.

"Peppa Pig" needs to be very consistent with the correct values ​​of mainstream society's aesthetics. Ronan sometimes feels that his three views are a bit problematic, so it is better not to participate in the value setting of children's works.

In fact, when he first contacted the animation production team, he was already working on the idea of ​​"Peppa Pig".

Ronan also hopes that this dividend pig can shine in the glory of his previous life.

In his previous life, Page was definitely the most popular pig in the world.

Even, there is a tendency to become an extremely terrifying IP in the surrounding areas such as Winnie Bear and Katie.

At that time, Peppa Pig became the real popular fashion queen, from plush dolls, watches, tattoo stickers, car stickers to backpacks, and slippers.

I am Peppa, and Zhuhong makes a lot of money.

Of course, it will definitely be a waste of resources to create an animation film production team for a long time on "Peppa Pig". Ronan will then ask Shahai Entertainment to recruit some personnel, and wait until the original animation film team finishes its practice, and let the new team take over the series.

There is also the dubbing of Page, so we need to consider it carefully. The British girl in her previous life claimed to be Page's dubbing earned tens of millions of pounds.

You need to find a girl with a distinctive voice and sign a long-term contract.

In the evening, Ronan met Hans Jimo himself at the Burbank Business Club and personally sent him an invitation to the soundtrack for "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The agents of both parties have been in contact before and basically reached an agreement. The meeting went very smoothly.

Hans Jimo is one of the most paid musicians in Hollywood today. Ronan spent up to $300 to invite him and his team.

That is, John Williams and his soundtrack team paid more than Hans Jimo.

The $3 million reward is in front of you. What kind of Pirate Movie is done is not a problem with Hans Jimo.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of Hans Jimo knows that Hans Jimo may not be the best soundtrack in Hollywood, but he is definitely the best soundtrack merchant in Hollywood.

This is not only because Hans Jimo charges high, but also specifically refers to Hans Jimo's style is very suitable for the needs of commercial films.

There have always been an anti-Jimer faction in the Hollywood industry. They criticized Hans-Jimer's soundtrack for being too stylized and lacking artistic content, and turned musical artworks that could be on par with movies into cheap goods.

But in Ronan's eyes, these are actually advantages and meet the needs of film marketing.

During his contact with Hans Jimo, Ronan also realized Hans Jimo's positioning of the movie soundtrack.

Hans-Jimer is well aware of today's directors' demand for graphic music: almost every work accurately reflects the unity of sound and picture, especially in the field of commercial films.

Coupled with the ability of film special effects and the improvement of mood in the picture compared to the previous picture, the film music really no longer needs the satisfaction of the creative model of that year.

It can be said that Hans-Jimer's style positioning is very in line with the needs of the development of the film industry.

This method of creating specific emotions music in a specific picture is undoubtedly the most needed model for commercial movies today.

Moreover, the relatively low cost and super high efficiency of Hans-Jimer's soundtrack are also important factors that producers cannot ignore.

Otherwise, there would be no commercial soundtracks represented by Hans-Jimer, and they would still be obsessed with the fact that the conservatives who were unwilling to follow the development of the times would be gradually eliminated in the Golden Age.

In fact, most people like Ronan do not understand the art of film soundtracks, but think that the soundtrack is good, fits the movie scenes, and can motivate emotions, which is a good soundtrack.

Let’s talk about Hans Jimo, the soundtracks of "The Lion King", "The Brave of the Deadly Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight" and "Interstellar" are all classic.

In particular, the soundtrack in "Brave the Deadly Island" was also referred to as "Overview of the Undead" by game fans across the Pacific.

Of course, no one can deny that Hans-Jimer's soundtrack is sometimes too much.

Ronan personally met Hans-Jimo, and wanted to remind him to pay attention to this cooperation and achieve normal standards.

To a certain extent, Hans Jimo is a bit like Nicholas Cage. He is amazing when he is at a high level and terrible when he is paddling.

"I hope this is the beginning of our successful collaboration. Pirates of the Caribbean plan a trilogy, and Sand Sea Entertainment will have a series of big productions next." Ronan said to Hans-Jimmer casually: "I really appreciate your soundtrack style and hope to hear a masterpiece again."

Hans Jimo is a soundtrack, but even a businessman. When he heard Ronan say this, he immediately attached more importance to the cooperation and said: "Mr. Anderson, don't worry, my team and I will do our best."

Ronan said again: "I believe in Mr. Ji Mo's ability level. The music of "The Lion King" is impressive and unforgettable."

Hearing Ronan mention "The Lion King", Hans-Jimer couldn't help asking: "Does "Pirates of the Caribbean" need a theme song of singing? I'm ready in advance."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "You create an ending song that fits the overall soundtrack and has the momentum of a storm in the Caribbean."

"Yes." Hans-Jimer immediately responded and then suggested: "The film is a story that takes place in the Caribbean. I have already made a preliminary plan for the soundtrack style. It is best to choose Latin-type singers to sing the theme song."

This is a suggestion from a professional, and Ronan attaches great importance to it and says, "I will look for the right person."

After the meeting, Ronan left the club and took a car to return to the manor, carefully considered Hans-Jimer's suggestions.

Who is suitable for Latin-type singers to sing the theme song?

Who is the most famous Latin singer in North America now? Ronan's impression is that the man is Ricky Martin. The cup of life performed by Ricky Martin on the Grammy two years ago was praised by the media as one of the best live performances in the history of the Grammy.

The female singer seems to be Jennifer Lopez?

But for Jennifer Lopez, Ronan still stays in the perception that people are popular but not songs are popular.

Whether now or in his previous life, James Lopez is quite famous as a star, but Ronan has never heard of representative songs.

Maybe he is ignorant.

Neither of these two people is suitable. The former does not develop much in the United States, while the latter is very famous and difficult to deal with.

After returning to the manor, Ronan suddenly thought of a suitable candidate. Not long ago, he met a Latin female singer at a party. Shakira not only talked well with him, but also left her contact information.

If it weren't for meeting Avril Lavini later, Ronan wouldn't have forgotten Shakira's case.

It seems that this Latin queen is quite powerful.
