For things like Mel Gibson, not to mention that Ronan's position is already opposite to him, even his past collaborators remained silent.

Mel Gibson offended not a certain person or a company, but a Jewish group with huge resources.

It is conceivable that in the coming years, Mel Gibson's career will be in a stagnant state, waiting for time to fade away.

There are too many stars in Hollywood who are committing suicide, which can be said to be a very classic way of committing suicide.

How could Ronan and Relativity Entertainment go to this kind of muddy water?

Some things, some opinions, and no matter what you think and say in private, it doesn’t matter. Once it is said publicly, it will be a huge trouble.

The incident between Mel Gibson fully demonstrates what it means to be misfortune.

Not to mention anything else, even Mel Gibson's agency broke the blame.

Robert Downey Jr. is a person with a temperament. He was taken care of and supported by Mel Gibson when he was in trouble. Now Mel Gibson is in trouble, and he also wants to help.

But Ronan's direct rejection also made Robert Downey Jr. understand that in the face of this social trend, individuals cannot compete with it at all.

"Sorry." Robert Downey Jr. smiled embarrassedly: "I'm causing you trouble."

Ronan gently patted Robert Downey Jr.'s arm and said, "It's okay. Downey, give your friend a suggestion, apologize seriously and act in a low-key manner."

Robert Downey Jr. thought for a while and said, "I understand, thank you."

Apart from that, there seems to be no other good idea.

Ronan vaguely remembers that Mel Gibson's sinking lasted for ten years.

David Ellison came over at this time, congratulated Ronan, and said, "Relativity Entertainment's achievements in the film business are really great." He asked tentatively: "Ronan, how much can the surrounding area of ​​"Minius" be sold?"

Ronan smiled and said, "The profit is just a little higher than the box office."

David Ellison said: "You are too modest."

"This is not modesty." Ronan said seriously: "As marketing expenses increase, the profit margins of a single film have been declining."

David Ellison was not the rookie when he first entered the circle. He nodded slowly and said, "The investment in promotion and distribution for movies is too high."

He gave an example: "The production cost of "Blair the Witch" you operated was only tens of thousands of dollars. I was thinking at that time, did I make too much money in this deal? Later I found out that you invested $20 million in publicity and distribution costs in North America alone."

Ronan said the truth: "Behind any film that looks low-cost and high-box office, there is a huge amount of publicity and marketing expenditure."

David Ellison shook his head slowly: "It's a pity that Disney refuses to invest more in my movies."

Ronan asked curiously: "How is your current situation with Ryan at Disney?"

When he heard Disney, David Ellison was instantly inspired: "Ryan and I all entered the board of directors. With Dick Cook, Maple Leaf Pictures has occupied three seats on the Disney board of directors, but we are still far from getting the controlling stake..."

Ronan said: "The situation in Disney is complicated, and you are doing a good job."

When the deal was first traded, Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison knew that the internal situation in Walt Disney was chaotic, and this was exactly what they valued.

Because there is no civil strife, they will never have the opportunity to control it.

David Ellison said: "Maple Leaf Pictures is rich in funds, Ryan and I are waiting for the opportunity. Then we will make Michael Eisner and Roy Disney look good."

Ronan nodded slowly and said, "I wish you all the wishes as soon as possible."

"It will definitely be." David Ellison seemed very confident: "Since he joined the game of Walt Disney, Maple Leaf Pictures will be the final winner."

He turned to say, "My new movie "Air War Hero" will be released next week, remember to attend the premiere."

Ronan responded: "No problem." He continued: "Disney's release?"

David Ellison said: "The promotion is very unsatisfactory."

Ronan did not respond. He had also watched the former "Air War Hero". As for the movie itself, it would be better not to say it.

However, given his pretty good relationship with David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh, Ronan took time to attend the premiere of "Air War Heroes" the next week after the celebration party.

At the entrance of the premiere theater, five old propeller planes produced in the 1920s and 1930s were arranged. These are not model props, but real master planes collected by Larry Ellison.

David Ellison and Larry Ellison are both enthusiastic plane enthusiasts.

The Ellison family's enthusiasm for aircraft is fully reflected in this air combat movie.

At the premiere, in addition to David Ellison, Ronan chatted with Ryan Kavanaugh for a while.

"David and I have made a lot of efforts at Disneyland," Ryan Kavanaugh told Ronan: "I have won some distribution resources from Disney Pictures and Bowei International, and the release of Maple Leaf Pictures is no longer a problem."

Ronan said: "Water Disney's distribution channel is first-class in the industry. If you make good use of it, Maple Leaf Pictures will have good development opportunities."

Ryan Kavanaugh sighed very much: "I don't know if I don't enter this industry. The top resources for distribution have long been divided up. If you hadn't given Maple Leaf Pictures the opportunity to enter Disney, we might have been worried about the distribution channels for many years in the future, and we might have paid a huge price."

Ronan smiled and said, "Now, the proportion of promotional and distribution of the film is even greater than that of the production itself. Relativity Entertainment is lucky and has established a global marketing channel that belongs to the company itself early. If it is a few years later, Relativity Entertainment will find it difficult to find opportunities."

The civil strife at Walt Disney may be sad for many people, but it has always been an opportunity in Ryan Kavanaugh's eyes: "Water Disney is the only opportunity for Maple Leaf Pictures to enter the top level of Hollywood."

For him and David Ellison, joining the Hollywood game certainly wants to climb to the highest point.

Ronan said calmly: "I wish you to take control of Disney as soon as possible."

It is conceivable that Walt Disney, one of the six major Hollywood companies, will have a fierce internal struggle in the future.

As for Walt Disney's long-term plan, Ronan did not hear Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison mention it. Perhaps the two of them are all focused on competing for control of Disney for the time being. After gaining Disney's power, let's talk about future development.

But Disney, without long-term planning, will inevitably fall behind.

For some future plans, Relativity Entertainment has eliminated a strong competitor in advance.

David Ellison brought a middle-aged man to Ronan and introduced: "Father, this is Ronan, my friend. Ronan, this is my father, Larry Ellison."

Ronan shook hands with Larry Ellison and said, "It's great to know you."

Larry Ellison is usually arrogant, but he is still polite enough in front of Ronan and said with a smile: "Ronan, I'm happy to know you."

In terms of wealth and company influence, the two have similar status, and they do not have conflicts of interest like Oracle and Microsoft, so they have the basis for peaceful coexistence.

After a few greetings, Larry Ellison said, "I heard you are working with Steve Jobs?"

Ronan had no intention of denying: "I acquired Jobs' Pixar Studio and he became one of the major shareholders of Netflix Network."

Larry Ellison asked: "Don't you consider working with Oracle?"

Ronan said: "If the opportunity is right, Relativity Entertainment welcomes every partner."

Larry Ellison said carelessly: "I am a better partner than Jobs."

Ronan laughed. In this regard, Larry Ellison really couldn't compare with Jobs!

Steve Jobs will die in a few years and it won't pose too much threat, but Larry Ellison seems to be able to live for a long time.

This can be said to be Steve Jobs' biggest advantage.

Larry Ellison sent a warm invitation: "Welcome to Oracle if you have time, we will talk about it in detail then."

Ronan seemed very serious and said: "I will definitely make a special trip to visit another day."

Many of Oracle's software are widely used in many industries, such as some of Netflix's systems, which are also based on Oracle's software development and design.

However, in terms of traditional Hollywood film and television production, the possibility of cooperation between the two parties is unlikely.

Ronan then walked into the premiere theater accompanied by Ryan Kavanaugh.

Due to limited investment in publicity and distribution, the premiere of "Air War Heroes" is not large, and the number of guests who can attend the premiere is also limited.

Ronan met James Franco and chatted with him for a few words.

This young actor, who is famous for his role as the Little Green Demon, is currently working with Relativity Entertainment. In "Teddy Bear" that Shahai Entertainment is preparing, James Franko will play the leading role.

To be precise, the supporting actor who should play the role of the super low bear.

Ronan remembers very clearly that James Franco has a very funny talent and has starred in many comedy movies later, which is quite interesting.

For example, James Franko and Seth Logan have worked together many times.

But in this movie, the performance of the male lead James Franco can only be said to be very average.

David Ellison once made a bold statement when investing in "Air War Heroes", and every extra plane in the film will increase the budget of $1 million.

However, the background of the battle first makes the air battle scenes seem a bit incredible, or the highlights are lacking.

Movies are movies after all, not history. After all, they are commercial entertainment films. As long as the audience is willing to buy them, these problems are not problems.
