Chapter 38 Lions Gate

To achieve success, opportunities and abilities are very important. Returning to 1998 gave Ronan a chance, and Ronan is also improving his abilities through various means.

But there is another point that it is also very important for those who start a business - they are thick-faced and have a bad heart.

So, he will fight for even one percent chance.

As for the setbacks that may be encountered, Ronan doesn’t care at all. There is no way to encounter setbacks in starting a business.

Ronan was very calm about entering DreamWorks, founded by three famous Jewish David Geffen, Jerryford Carsonberg and Steven Spielberg, who were famous in Hollywood and even across the United States, and discussed the release of the "Human Purge Plan" with the DreamWorks distribution department.

"Is there a problem with the plot of this movie?"

In the reception room, a dark nose looked at the information brought by Ronan and said directly: "The ending is not good and it will not be popular."

Ronan glanced at the man, and could not see anything unusual from the outside, nor from the other party's ethnic group. He could only say: "The ending echoes the beginning."

He shook his head with a big nose: "If the video was shot like this, DreamWorks would not release it."

Luo Nan roughly guessed the reason, after all, only a fool would tell some things.

I have been to nearly twenty distribution companies and have encountered all kinds of messy situations. He didn't take this problem seriously and asked tentatively: "When the filming and production are completed, we will talk about it after you have watched the film?"

"If you don't change it." Dark nose lacks interest: "There is no need to talk."

Speaking of this, Ronan no longer insisted. After saying goodbye politely, he left the reception room and prepared to leave DreamWorks.

Ronan took the elevator down to the first floor. As soon as the elevator opened, he saw three people walking out of another special elevator opposite, Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg accompanied an old man.

Who is this old man? He actually sent Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg downstairs?

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, few people can get such treatment.

Ronan remained silent and walked out of the elevator just in time to follow the trend. Since the distance was not far, he could roughly hear the people in front of him talking.

"Stephen, I've read your novel, it's very exciting."

Judging from the voice, the person who said this should be Tom Hanks. People who are familiar with his movies are very easy to identify: "This novel has too much content, and I think it is difficult to show a movie. It is a good choice for TV series."

Stephen Spielberg's voice came: "Mr. Ambrose, I agree with Tom, please think about it again."

The old man said slowly, "You are professionals, I will listen to you."

Spielberg smiled and said, "You are the expert in the European battlefield in World War II. Without your guidance, we would not have allowed "Save Private Ryan to reproduce that cruel war."

The old man suddenly stopped and said, "Since my interview with Leicester, E-Link has been a special existence in my heart."

E Lian? Ronan raised his eyebrows.

The old man stopped, and Tom Hanks and Spielberg also stopped. There were a lot of people in the front hall on the first floor. Ronan could not stop and listen to what they said, so he had to walk over from the side.

There was still words coming from behind, which was Tom Hanks' voice: "From the day I received the book you gave me, I have been determined to let the audience see E Company!"

Then Spielberg's words: "Mr. Ambrose, it may take a few years to wait. Tom and I want to shoot a grand war epic, which requires a lot of preparation. Dreamworks is just on the right track and needs to find a partner, and I need time to raise funds."

"It's okay." The old man almost couldn't hear his words: "I'll wait patiently..."

Ronan walked farther and farther away, and soon could not hear the conversation between the three of them. Before leaving the office building, he looked back and looked, Stephen Ambrose?

This old man is Stephen Ambrose?

Ronan thought while walking, and it seemed that there was a place where I heard the name Stephen Ambrose?

Recalling the words of Tom Hanks and Spielberg: Novels? TV series? World War II? European battlefield? War epics? And E Company?

Luo Nan stopped, turned to look at the office building, and instantly thought of a name - "Brothers".

Could this be the original author of "Brothers"?

It's not wrong, there's a vague impression that the original author of "Brothers" served as the special consultant for "Save Private Ryan". Then the book entered Tom Hanks's vision and was recommended by Tom Hanks to Spielberg.

"Save Private Ryan" is about to be released, and Tom Hanks and Spielberg are interested in promoting the project "Brothers".

When "Brothers" was released, it caused a sensation and had a far-reaching impact. Just selling discs made the copyright owner make a fortune.

What a pity...

Luo Nan turned around and continued to walk forward. A popular product was placed in front of him but could only watch it. It was really uncomfortable.

Can you find an opportunity to get involved?

This miniseries cost a lot, and if you want to make a war movie, you have to spend money crazy. Remember this is a work collaborated by DreamWorks and HBO. According to the Hollywood situation, there must be investors he doesn't remember. In terms of risk sharing, Hollywood's medium and large companies are having a good time.

Ronan got into the car but did not start it and continued to think about it.

Such a TV series can instantly make the playback platform popular, and HBO once gained fame and the number of users soared.

What would happen if it were an online platform?

No, in this era, even in North America, the conditions for playing high-definition videos are average.

Exclusive online rental of DVD or videotape?

Ronan laughed silently, was he thinking a little far away? He looked at the DreamWorks headquarters through the rearview mirror. With the usual Hollywood model, this miniseries will take as long as three or four years to be released.

In fact, the biggest problem is money. He has no money for the time being, and DreamWorks itself is not enough, so he has to attract other companies to share investment and risks.

He took out the notebook he carried with him, and Ronan wrote down the name of "Brothers" on it.

Let’s take a look at Stephen Ambrose and his "Brothers" to see if you can find a chance. If you don’t have one, there is nothing you can do.

After all, it’s a matter of money. If there is not enough funds, many projects are not even qualified to get started.

Thinking of this, he scratched his head.

Ronan drove away from DreamWorks and rushed to the next target, Lionsgate Pictures. He quickly stabilized his mindset. He had to take one step at a time. If he took too big, he would definitely get an egg.

When he came to Lionsgate Pictures, he was received by Grey Enrique, the head of the distribution department of Lionsgate Pictures.

After reading the information brought by Ronan, Gray Enrique asked curiously: "Mr. Anderson, can I ask a question?"

Ronan smiled and said, "Ask casually."

Gray Enrique immediately asked: "As far as I know, Shahai Film has been shooting B-level films, why did you choose horror films this time?"

Without thinking, Ronan said: "Since the failure of the previous film, I carefully studied the successful Hollywood movies in the past decade and discovered an interesting phenomenon. Among the most cost-to-reward films, horror films accounted for an absolute majority."

"It's true." Grey Enrique nodded slightly.

"These successful horror movies have another characteristic." Ronan's words are targeted: "The cost is relatively low, and the investment in publicity and distribution is relatively low."

Gray Enrique looked down at the script in his hand.

Ronan continued to say in a targeted manner: "Horror movies generally have low reputations, but movies that truly win the favorites of horror movie fans will quickly spread among the horror movie audience. Small groups are also conducive to formulating targeted publicity and distribution strategies to control expenses."

Gray Enrique laughed: "Mr. Anderson is an expert in this area."

"The expert can't talk about it." Ronan waved his hand: "I just studied many cases."

He remembers it very clearly that Lionsgate started out with horror movies in the early stage. Compared with other companies, perhaps Lionsgate will appreciate "Human Purge Plan" more at that time?

Gray Enrique said politely: "The distribution department of Lionsgate Films was established last year and also hopes to release high-quality films." He glanced at Ronan and said: "I hope to see the complete film of "Human Purge Plan" as soon as possible."

Ronan said with a smile: "No problem."

Compared to DreamWorks' simple and crude treatment, the new company, Lionsgate Pictures, is much more polite.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Ronan took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

After so many distribution companies, even if Lionsgate, which has the best attitude, no company is willing to cooperate before seeing the film.
