The day after the reception, Ryan Kavanaugh visited the Relativity Building on the grounds of expressing his gratitude for his support last night and seeking assistance from future allies.

Those who came with him were Sylvester Stallone who Ronan had met at the cocktail party.

Ronan was somewhat surprised that Maple Leaf Pictures and Ryan Kavanaugh came so quickly.

He also had a new understanding of Ryan Kavanaugh.

It was only said last night that both sides were natural allies, so they came to the door today. Ryan Kavanaugh really did not give up every opportunity.

It's very energetic, but it's a little too fast to rush.

There is no doubt that Ryan Kavanaugh is a very decisive person, which can be said to be a good ability, but decisiveness must be coordinated with vision.

Otherwise, it may lead to an accident like the hedge foundation being done again.

But this is not a bad thing for Ronan and Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan met Ryan Kavanaugh and Sylvester Stallone in the reception room on the top floor of the Relativity Building.

Ronan was quite familiar with Stallone. He greeted him and sat together for a few words.

Ryan Kavanaugh quickly brought the chat to the point: "Ronan, I'm here to ask for help from you." He didn't mind such things as face. As long as the company develops, countless faces will automatically fly over: "Maple Leaf Pictures has just been established and faces too many difficulties. If the film business wants to develop, it needs the help of Relativity Entertainment."

Due to physical factors, Stallone looked like he had no expression on his face.

When Ronan saw Stallone accompanying Ryan Kavanaugh, he had already guessed in his heart and said, "As long as the entertainment of the Relativity can do."

Ryan Kavanaugh smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, this is also a business deal."

Ronan made a gesture of invitation: "Ryan, say it."

"The fundamental part of the film company lies in the movies." Ryan Kavanaugh has always maintained a friendly but not enthusiastic smile: "This is the weakest link in Maple Leaf Pictures at present, and it is the strongest link in Relative Theory Entertainment."

Ronan refused to respond and waited patiently for Ryan Kavanaugh to finish.

Ryan Kavanaugh cleared his throat: "No one in Hollywood welcomes Maple Pictures." He smiled at Ronan and Stallone with apology: "Of course, except you and Sylvie."

"So, after last night, I had an idea." Ryan Kavanaugh said with a smile: "We all have the goal of breaking through the traditional Hollywood blockade together, why can't we work together?"

"I like working with new companies, they are not as dead as established companies," Stallone said.

Ryan Kavanaugh took advantage of the situation and asked: "Ronan, it is said that the copyright of the "First Blood" trilogy is in the hands of Relativity Entertainment?"

Ronan did not need to deny it: "Yes, it acquired the copyright of Yijiang Film Library, and Relativity Entertainment obtained all the copyrights of the "First Blood" series."

"Silvi has always had the idea of ​​filming the fourth part," said Ryan Kavanaugh. "This series has caused a huge sensation. There should be a possibility of success in filming the fourth part, right?"

Ronan did not answer, but asked: "Ryan, do you want to invest in the fourth part of "The First Blood"?"

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "Yes, I hope to shoot together with Relativity Entertainment, or get authorized by Relativity Entertainment." He glanced at Stallone: ​​"Silvie has agreed to continue to star in and direct the series."

Ronan looked at Stallone, and Stallone said, "I had the idea of ​​a sequel a long time ago, and the main plot of the script is almost the same."

What Ryan Kavanaugh wants most is to open up the name of Maple Leaf Pictures in one fell swoop so that he can gain a foothold in Hollywood as soon as possible: "Relativity Entertainment should not lack projects, right? There is no relevant sequel plan, either?"

Ronan said a prerequisite: "I cannot transfer the copyright of the First Blood trilogy to Maple Leaf Pictures."

The profitability of popular movies and TV series cannot be underestimated. Although the "First Blood" trilogy is not like the former "Friends", even if it can still bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year for many years after completion, the Embassy Film Company's annual net income through offline operations in the past two years has also been 10 million dollars.

"No, no..." Ryan Kavanaugh quickly took a step back: "Silvey and I just hope to get the authorization to film the sequel of Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan also speculated that it was not surprising to this answer: "Sequel authorization..."

Ryan Kavanaugh knew it was impossible to get authorized for free, and said: "This is of course a normal commercial transaction, and Maple Leaf Pictures can pay the relevant authorization fees for this."

Ronan seemed to think about it seriously. Perhaps others still had great expectations for Stallone and "The First Blood", hoping that this famous series could create glory in the 1980s.

But Ronan knew very well that Stallone was really old and was outdated for the main audience in the film market today.

Not to mention "The First Blood", the commercial response of "The Suicide Squad", which once gathered so many popular action stars, can only be said to be very average.

Since it does not involve the copyright of the first three steps, Ronan thought for a little, and said: "Relativity Entertainment can authorize Maple Leaf Pictures to shoot sequels, but the specific licensing fee will not be very low. Ryan, the "First Blood" trilogy has achieved outstanding commercial achievements and has cultivated a large number of loyal Rambo fans. If the licensing fee is unreasonable, I will not be able to explain to the company."

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "Don't worry, Ronan, I won't make you embarrassed."

The problem that money within a certain range of funds is not a problem for Maple Leaf Pictures today.

Stallone asked, "How much does the authorization fee?"

Ronan said: "The basic authorization fee and the later period are divided into two parts, and the specific proportions are allowed to be negotiated by the people below."

Ryan Kavanaugh had a large amount of money. Seeing that Ronan was so happy, he said, "Yes, let the people below talk."

The most important thing is not the issue of more or less licensing fees, but Maple Leaf Pictures can truly gain a foothold in Hollywood with a successful film.

Although there was no direct talk, Ronan had already drawn the bottom line, with a minimum of US$20 million in basic expenses plus a total revenue share of about 10% of a film.

Yes, only one will be authorized.

Will Maple Leaf Pictures and Ryan Kavanaugh agree? Ronan feels that it should not be a problem.

Nowadays, the copyrights of successful Hollywood films are basically in the hands of six major companies, Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to obtain relevant authorization for successful films.

Ronan is very clear that it is difficult for a genre like "The First Blood" to recover in a short period of time. The copyright of the sequel will be authorized, and the term limit and copyright authorization will be added.

In other words, the authorization of a sequel to Relativity Entertainment is limited to Maple Leaf Pictures. If Maple Leaf Pictures does not shoot related movies within a few years, the authorization will be automatically invalidated.

Of course, Maple Leaf Pictures may not accept it, but if it doesn’t accept it, Ronan would not force it. The person who originally asked for it was Maple Leaf Pictures.

Ryan Kavanaugh actually has no better choice. He finally found a Stallone who was willing to cooperate with, and his goal was naturally aimed at Stallone's most successful series of movies.

Maple Leaf Pictures has contacted the copyright holder of "Rocky" before. Sony Columbia Pictures, who bought out MGM Film Library, spoke out loud, and even he could not accept the conditions offered.

As for original film projects, even people like Ryan Kavanaugh who have just entered Hollywood know that the risks are extremely high.

What the newly established Maple Leaf Pictures needs is a shot, not a squint.

Just like at the cocktail party last night, Ronan had a pleasant conversation with Ryan Kavanaugh and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Especially Ryan Kavanaugh, from the fact that Ronan is willing to authorize Maple Leaf Pictures to copyright the sequel of "The First Blood", he truly feels the sincerity of the cooperation of Relativity Entertainment.

Compared with other Hollywood companies, Relativity Entertainment is really full of sincerity.

After receiving Ronan's approval and authorized reply, Sylvester Stallone took the lead in saying that he would start preparing for the sequel film now.

Although there are various shortcomings, there is no doubt about Stallone's professional qualities.

Ryan Kavanaugh chatted with Ronan for a while, and talked about the sequel authorization of "The First Blood" again, and said excitedly: "I personally, as well as the entire Maple Leaf Pictures, will keep in mind the favor of Relativity Entertainment!"

Luo Nan said with a smile: "You're welcome, we are a normal business cooperation. The cooperation concept of Relativity Entertainment has not changed since the beginning, and we have always paid attention to win-win results!"

"Yes! Win-win!" But the authorization of the sequel to "The First Blood" is far from satisfying Ryan Kavanaugh's appetite. He tentatively said: "Ronan, if there is a suitable investment opportunity, can you bring me?"

Ronan vaguely felt Ryan Kavanaugh's appetite from this sentence and said, "Ryan, with your funds, if you find the right opportunity, you may also make a difference in the six major companies."

Ryan Kavanaugh certainly understands that the six major companies are the top players in this industry: "There are too few opportunities like this."

Ronan said: "The six major companies are not very stable, so wait patiently."

Some words are sequels, but I can't say too much now.

Ryan Kavanaugh thought Ronan wanted to unite him to fight against six major companies, and the funds in his hands gave him a certain degree of confidence: "As long as the opportunity is right, I won't miss it."

He shook hands with Ronan and said goodbye: "Ronan, good luck."

Ronan smiled and said, "I wish you a long way from Maple Leaf Pictures."

The highest figures on both sides reached their intentions, and the movements below were also very fast.
