Chapter 396 What is the Prince?
At the beginning of the preparation of this film, Uvey Ball contacted Paris Hilton once and wanted to continue to let the daughter of the Hilton family play the heroine, but was rejected.
People always grow, and even girls like Paris Hilton are no exception.
Maybe she didn't see it clearly at that time and was a little confused, but later after reminding others and thinking from her own, Paris Hilton could also see that her efforts and benefits in that movie were completely different.
Therefore, Ronan was not surprised by Paris Hilton's rejection.
Ronan later contacted the future first daughter, but was also declined.
In terms of cleverness and scheming, the one is far above Paris Hilton.
Later, Caa recommended an actress to Ronan. After reading the information and audition, Ronan decided to play the heroine.
A girl who was exercising saw Ronan and Uvee Ball, hurried over, greeted Uvee Ball, and said to Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."
Ronan smiled: "You're welcome, Miss Baylor. Your agent is right, you're very suitable for this role."
Camilla Baylor said: "I hope I can have a chance to express my gratitude."
Ronan said calmly: "Play this role well."
This girl looks very special, she can be called a "different" beauty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark brown hair, and exquisite facial features, exotic style, a mysterious and intelligent temperament, with a unique charm.
But Ronan just chatted with her for a while and then left.
Ronan remembers Camilla Baylor, who was also a big and small star in his previous life, and once starred in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2".
Leaving the crew, Ronan returned to Relativity Entertainment. As soon as he entered the office, Connie followed in with a document.
Ronan pulled out the chair and sat down, asking, "Is there anything wrong?"
Connie put the documents on her desk and said, "This is the information of Dark Horse Comics."
Because Gilmo del Toro wanted to adapt "Hellboy", Ronan thought of the dark horse comic that he had always ignored. Last week, Connie's assistant team specially arranged for Connie's assistant team to collect relevant information about the dark horse comics.
He opened the information and read it quickly.
Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comic company in the United States after DC and Marvel. It was founded by Mike Richardson in 1986 in Milwaukee, Oregon, USA.
Mike Richardson was formerly the boss of several comic shops in the Portland metropolitan area. He began publishing an anthology series called "Dark Horse" in 1986, so he used the profits of comic book stores to invest in Dark Horse Comics.
"Is the copyright of Hellboy's film and television adaptation still there?" Ronan asked.
Connie immediately replied: "The copyright of the adaptation is still in the hands of Dark Horse Comics."
Ronan thought for a while: "You go and inform Robert and come to see me immediately after he comes back from London." He suddenly thought of one thing: "It's better not to do it. I'm going to London in a few days. Then I'll talk about this with Robert Lee."
Robert Lee has met Bell Griers, who wants to meet and have an interview with him.
"Okay." Connie left the office.
Luo Nan continued to look at the information, especially the works under the Hei Horse Comics, and found many familiar names.
Heima's comic business is mainly divided into two major parts: original comic publishing and authorized comic adaptation and publication of film and television works.
The latter occupies a considerable share, and Dark Horse has many comics adapted from popular movies or TV series, including: Star Wars, Buffy the Ghost Catcher, Alien and Who Want to Be a Superhero.
In addition, Dark Horse also holds the rights to adapt comics to science fiction movies such as "Pretty", "Alien", "Robot Men", "Terminator", and "Singapore".
These have no value to Ronan and Relativity Entertainment. After all, they are comics adapted from movies and have no value to adapting movies again.
In the original comics, many works of Dark Horse have been brought to the big screen, and the most famous ones are undoubtedly "The Disguised Married" starring Metal Carrey and "The Alien Story" directed by John Bruno.
Among the works that have not yet been sold for adaptation copyrights, in addition to "Hellboy", there are also many names that can evoke Ronan's memory.
For example, the other two works by Frank Miller, the author of "The Return of the Dark Knight", are "The City of Sin" and "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
For the former, it is not enough. If "City of Sin" wants to achieve the ideal effect, the production budget cannot be low, but it will eventually be difficult to get out of the category of niche films. I vaguely remember that this film has a very big reputation in its previous life, and its box office is actually average.
It is best if you can buy it, and you don’t have to force it if you can’t buy it.
But it is best to get "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
The moment he saw this video, Ronan knew that "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was very important to the future of the Avengers in his hands.
"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is a work that director Zach Schneider has really attracted attention from all parties. It is also this work that allows him to gradually form his own style and bring these styles into the later DC superhero comic adaptation movies, allowing the DC movie to win a group of fans while losing more passers-by.
Just like game-adapted movies, game fans and comic fans alone cannot support the huge investment market.
Ronan has roughly read related reports that Zach Schneider was attracted by Warner Bros. and DC Comics. On the one hand, it was appreciated by abilities and style, and on the other hand, it was recommended by Christopher Nolan.
Because some of Zach Schneider's styles are very similar to his "Dark Knight".
Ronan instantly had more ideas. Now Christopher Nolan is working with him, and the two have a good relationship, so he can also appropriately influence Christopher Nolan, giving Warner Bros. and DC Comics a high chance to choose Zach Schneider.
However, the premise of all this is that Zach Schneider must make a name for himself and have excellent results to prove himself.
Otherwise, even with the recommendation of Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. and DC Comics would not be able to use him to direct top-tier productions.
Ronan checked on the Internet and found that Zach Schneider is a well-known MV director and has not yet entered the film industry.
If you remember correctly, Zach Schneider's first movie should be the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead".
Although I don’t remember whether this film was successful, judging by Zach Schneider’s ability to direct the “Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta”, which has a considerable investment, “Dawn of the Living Dead” should not have failed.
You can check the copyright of this video, see which company you want to try to get the copyright of the copy.
Ronan wrote down all the names of the works he wanted to obtain copyright and asked Connie to further collect relevant information.
In addition, through the information of Dark Horse Comics, Ronan also thought of other comic companies and asked Connie to collect information about American comics' works so that he could find familiar names from them.
In addition to the three major comic companies in the United States, Marvel, DC and Dark Horse, there are also many small and medium-sized comic companies, among which there may be valuable works.
Most of the videos that Ronan remembers are either extremely widely circulated or they are very compensated.
Before Robert Lee returned from England, Ronan focused on Frank Miller's "City of Sin" and "The Three Hundred Spartans".
Although "City of Sin" was published by Dark Horse Comics, the copyright is completely in the hands of Frank Miller.
The film and television adaptation rights of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" belong to the Black Horse Comics. As long as Frank Miller does not object, the film and television adaptation rights can be sold.
Three days later, Ronan arrived in London and met Robert Lee at the Four Seasons Hotel in London.
"How about it?"
In the room, Ronan asked Robert Lee directly: "Is it going well?"
Robert Lee said: "I have talked with Bell Griers twice. This person is very adventurous because of his own experience and is very interested in your proposal."
Ronan nodded: "This is the best."
Robert Lee added: "But Bell Grylls currently has other companies in his hands, and he is working with the Prince of Wales' Charity Trust to prepare for an Atlantic adventure."
Ronan asked, "Is there any involvement between him and the British royal family?"
"Finally cooperate with some associations and institutions that are sponsored by the royal family or are nominally affiliated." Robert Lee said simply: "Bell Griers' many adventures have been named charity."
It was no surprise that celebrities always like to do things under the banner of charity, which is a common phenomenon.
"You stay with me in London for a few days and meet Bell Griers." Ronan made a decision quickly: "Then you go back to Los Angeles first and contact Dark Horse Comics. I have sent the specific information to your email."
Robert Lee Ying said: "No problem."
Ronan didn't want to waste his time and asked, "When will I see him as soon as possible?"
Robert Lee thought for a while and said, "Bell Grylls will attend a charity dinner held by a charity foundation under the royal family tonight. I also have an invitation letter. It is said that the Prince of Wales and his family will also attend."
Ronan said, "Okay, let's go together."
Prince of Wales? The crown prince of the Kingdom of Great Britain who has repeatedly set records.
What is a prince? There is a standard answer in the Internet era in the previous life. For modern society, a prince is a mascot that is a middle-aged man who is not dead and can only be with him and laughs awkwardly.
Many people have been discussing a possibility, will my mother end up dying of her son?
The nominal supreme rulers were internet celebrities.
The woman is on standby for a long time.
