Chapter 851 Calm down disputes
The ability of money can prolong life, but the condition reaches a certain level, but it cannot help.
In the face of terminal illness, this world may seem fairer, and there are many super rich people who die young because of terminal illness.
However, Steve Jobs continued to believe in the third brother's trick, and he was afraid that his life would not last long.
Having said that, what are the products of San Ge more reliable?
By the way, perhaps with the special market and legal mechanism, San Ge’s generic drugs are good.
Ronan would not be so stupid as to persuade Steve Jobs. In this regard, Jobs didn't even listen to his wife and children. How could he listen to his outsider? Besides, the relationship between the two parties has just developed into the honeymoon period. Once an accident occurs, it will definitely not be worth the loss.
As long as Steve Jobs can survive the kidney machine for two or three generations, it will be enough for Ronan.
In recent years, Ronan's salary, bonuses and dividends have invested most of his personal income in Apple and Amazon.
In addition, it also holds a small amount of Google stock.
Even without Android, Google is still the absolute overlord of the search engine industry.
Therefore, Ronan's back road is wide enough.
To take a step back, even if Relativity Entertainment and Netflix Network both collapsed, it will still become a billionaire in a few years.
This also made Ronan more confident and formulated this Disney plan with Robert Iger.
As Robert Iger came to New York, Ronan and he visited several investors on Wall Street that held a little more shares in Disney, which also allowed Roy Disney to see the attitude of relativity entertainment.
But when Roy Disney refused to discuss any copyright related to Disney animated films, Ronan had already launched a second plan with Robert Iger.
It can only be said that people from the Disney family have deep feelings for the Disney cartoons created by the Disney Brothers.
After visiting many large investors, Ronan left New York first, and the remaining work was temporarily left to Robert Iger. When Robert Iger makes progress, he will return to New York again.
In this regard, Robert Eiger, an expert in business management, Ronan does not need to do everything himself.
On the other hand, he also needs to deal with the work in the movie.
The Dark Knight crew, director Christopher Nolan, and producer Charles Rowan, representing Warner Bros., had a serious disagreement.
As the first producer of the project, Ronan has the responsibility and obligation to resolve disputes among the crew, especially between two heavyweights.
This also affects Shahai Entertainment's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the Warner Studios studio's studio's pull-up room, Ronan looked at the audition video. His pale face, weird green hair, blood-red lips and purple shabby suit seemed to let him see the former "Dark Knight".
The clown who has the halo of the protagonist, stole the master's limelight and was praised on the altar.
Then, there was another person's audition video, the same outfit, but in Ronan's eyes, he always felt that he had something missing.
This is Robin Williams.
His acting skills are not bad, at least not worse than Heath Ledger.
Ronan always felt a sense of dissonance when he looked at his clown outfit, and he was not as suitable as Heath Ledger no matter how he looked.
In fact, no one needs to remind me, Ronan also knows that this is caused by preconceived ideas.
After several auditions were played, Charles Rowan took the lead and said: "Robin Williams' audition performance was not bad, and he had a wealth of performances. It's safer to choose him to play the role of the Joker."
Christopher Nolan retorted: "I don't think so. In terms of auditions alone, Heath Ledger's effect is obviously better."
Charles Rowan didn't want the dispute to escalate further, so he looked at Ronan.
Although he represents Warner Bros., in the cooperation agreement between Warner Bros. and Shahai Entertainment, Ronan is the person with the most power in the crew.
"Heath Ledger is really good, Chris, I admit this." Charles Rowan's subsequent words were specifically for Ronan: "But well-informed people in the circle should have heard that Heath Ledger's drug addiction is a very big hidden danger."
He asked Ronan: "You have worked with Heath Ledger before, so you should know this?"
Ronan did not deny: "In fact, I advised him, but it didn't work."
Christopher Nolan was very optimistic about Heath Ledger's audition and interrupted: "I have already talked to Heath Ledger in this regard. If the crew enables him to play the Joker, there will be specific restrictions in the contract between the two parties, which will minimize the risk."
Charles Rowan said: "There are risks anyway."
Christopher Nolan shrugged: "How can there be no risk in making a movie?"
Charles Rowan has no choice: "Ronan..."
"This is a normal job discussion," Ronan said slowly. "Charles, there is one thing I want to remind you that, as far as I know, Robin Williams is not better than Heath Ledger."
Charles Rowan asked, "Really?"
Ronan said seriously: "I can't joke about the crew's work."
There is no doubt that Robin Williams is an actor with a great style. He is good at interpreting many roles and has a wide range of acting. Most importantly, it is him and real actors like him who have allowed countless audiences to feel the charm of the movie, the breadth of life and the warmth of human nature.
No one once thought that Robin Williams would end his life by "successful suicide".
Ronan had read related reports more than once at that time, and the police and Robin Williams spokespersons mentioned that Robin Williams had long had drug and alcohol problems.
Both of these destroyed Robin Williams' body, ruined his life, and finally made him choose to be self-free.
How much alcoholism is better, but drug use is endless. How many people in Hollywood have fallen because of this?
Charles Rowan had nothing to say: "Well, Heath Ledger. Hopefully our choice is right."
Christopher Nolan said: "Charles, there is definitely no problem with this candidate, and it will definitely surprise us."
Ronan didn't say anything. Since the candidate was confirmed, then Heath Ledger was fine.
This is the candidate determined by Christopher Nolan himself. From the long-term cooperation, there is no need for Ronan to have problems with the Joker's actors because of the Joker's candidate.
Christopher Nolan, in the future, will become the banner of original Hollywood movies.
Only those who have experienced the past will know how difficult it will be for original movies to survive in Hollywood in the future.
This dispute between the director and the producer was not expanded because Ronan intervened in time and was limited to the scope of his work.
Charles Rowan and Christopher Nolan have basically no differences in the selection of actors for new roles such as the Double-Faced Man.
For example, Allen Eckhart plays a two-faced man, and thirty-year-old Spanish actress Elsa Patach plays a policewoman Romes who was bribed by the clown.
The actress also signed a long contract with Shahai Entertainment and will star in the "Fast and Furious" series one after another.
Of course, it's just a supporting role.
At the subsequent drama conference, Ronan also saw the new actors. Because he was very familiar with the Marvel series of movies, he recognized Elsa Patach as soon as he met Elsa Patach. This was Thor's wife.
Unfortunately, because I don’t know where Chris Hemsworth swung a sledgehammer in Australia, Thor could only replace him.
Perhaps a couple who used to be very eye-catching in Hollywood's height difference would become passers-by.
I vaguely remember that Elsa Patach once seemed to have starred in a very large-scale movie. It seemed that there was an old man sticking a key part with tape on it, and then his whole body was tied up with plastic wrap and then applauded.
It's been too long, and Ronan only has a little vague memory, and he can't even remember the name of the movie.
Having said that, actresses who debuted in Europe are much better than those of Hollywood in terms of being brave enough to take off and leak.
After all, this is dedicated to art.
"The Dark Knight" was prepared smoothly, and the crew signed a contract with Chicago City Hall again. Basically, all outdoor scenes will be filmed in Chicago.
Chicago will also cooperate with the choice of the film, such as holding a Batman Parade before it is released.
In addition, at the suggestion of Ronan, Warner Brothers, as the promotional issuer, also formulated relevant viral marketing plans.
At that time, news that the "Joker" is about to launch an attack will be spread.
Hollywood movie promotion doesn’t care whether it affects social stability.
It is best to cause panic and arouse public curiosity.
As for other promotional methods, Ronan didn't say much, just take action when he saw it.
Warner Bros. is now the number one film company in Hollywood. What kind of situation hasn't encountered before and what kind of publicity methods have never been used?
Within this year, "The Dark Knight" will be filmed at the latest until the beginning of next year.
When it comes to the plot and other confidentiality, at the suggestion of Christopher Nolan, the crew project will not be made public, but instead uses a false name - "Rorry's First Kiss".
The name comes from Christopher Nolan, Rory is Nolan's son.
Jerry Robinson, a comic bookmaker who created the role of "Joker" in 1940, was also invited to the crew as a special consultant by Ronan and Christopher Nolan.
According to Christopher Nolan, the style of this version of the clown follows the image Robinson originally designed for him in the comics.
Then Christopher Nolan asked Ronan to help him contact the imax company, who hoped to shoot the entire video in imax format.
But when it comes to costs, Ronan and Warner Bros. both rejected it, and Christopher Nolan could only present the imax image in some shots.
