Chapter 1029
In the car back, Ronan looked through Uwy Ball's script, which attracted Jessica Felton's curiosity.
Jessica Felton asked, "Can I see it?"
Ronan handed it to her and said, "The story that Uvi Ball just wrote has not been polished by the screenwriter."
"That German director?" Jessica Felton became even more curious: "Hollywood...well, directors like him are rare in the world."
Ronan laughed: "Indeed, there are very few directors like this."
Jessica Felton read the script with great interest, and the more he read it, the more interesting it became, and asked: "I remember Shahai Entertainment launched a project called "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer" last year. The director seemed to be Uvy Ball, is this the same type?"
"Basically, it's true. For example, the axe in Washington in the script is in Lincoln's hands." Ronan said simply: "Uvi Ball plans to shoot a magical version of the movie universe of the US President and historical celebrities."
Jessica Felton asked, "Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "It's almost the same." He briefly introduced: "The Vampire Slayer Lincoln" is the beginning, and then this movie about Washington. The details will depend on Uvy Ball's plan later. They are roughly the founding father of the United States or other founding celebrities."
"Low-cost B-level film?" Jessica Felton asked again.
Ronan said the truth: "Wuwei Ball can shoot at will within $10 million. With his current appeal, it is not difficult to make a profit, but no matter how high the investment is, it is difficult to say, and the greater the possibility is a loss."
Jessica Felton nodded slowly, read the script carefully, read it for a while, and said, "This is a fusion of Cthulhu's worldview and setting, right?"
Ronan said: "Uvi Ball plans to put the entire series in the world of Cthulhu, telling the story of the founding fathers of the United States who built this country from a wild and terrifying world."
However, Uvi Ball's story is not very similar to what Ronan thought when he first talked about "The Axe of the Falling Cherry Axe Washington".
Ronan was influenced by the Internet and initially considered a huge version so that when Uvi Ball couldn't open his mind, he had a backup plan.
It is roughly the wilderness of Virginia. Humans who have crossed the ocean to explore colonial areas can only survive in the cracks of various terrifying and thrilling existences. There is a terrifying dominator in Virginia, which is a mutated ancient cherry tree. It is the most terrifying monster in Virginia.
Young Washington, the son of an ordinary human settlement planter, traveled alone since childhood and determined to change the world. At the age of twelve, he built a super battle axe, growing up under the expectations of countless people, killing the terrifying cherry trees, which brought hope to Virginia. From then on, he got the nickname of the fallen cherry axe and finally embarked on the road to dominate the world.
The Magic Axe of Falling Cherry Writing Washington is also a common meme about foreign countries on the Internet.
There are many similar memes.
For example, many people are always dissatisfied with the life in front of them and think that life outside is particularly beautiful.
In the eyes of this group of people, it can be roughly summarized in this way.
The domineering passport of the United States, the sewer of conscience in Germany; the universal medical treatment of Somalia, Russia gives away a house for free; the Ganges in India is effective, the island country is croaking in summer; the Thatcher is poured on coffee, the tongue is beautiful, the British gentlemanly demeanor is good; welcomes democracy in Iraq, and there is less war in Afghanistan; Ukraine has votes, and Bhutan has a high quality of life...
Of course, foreign monks can recite scriptures, and the moon overseas is particularly round, which is also a common situation around the world.
Uvi Ball completed the script independently. Although the script needed other screenwriters to add to the touch, Ronan also considered the director to give priority to his own story.
In Hollywood, Cthulhu movies are very rare and belong to the absolute subcategory of the movie genre.
But the story of Cthulhuga's founding father should attract the interest and attention of some people.
After reading the script, Jessica Felton returned it to Ronan and asked, "Did you go to Linsay's crew today? Is her going well?"
"So smooth." Ronan put the script away and said, "The director and heroine have been finalized."
Jessica Felton said: "Gal Gadot? It's her. The heroine is good and she has experience in joining the army. It's difficult to find such an actor in Hollywood, which is very suitable for Katnis."
Ronan said casually: "Do you know, Jesse? When I saw her today, I suddenly thought of Wonder Woman. If I could get the copyright of Wonder Woman from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, maybe it would be nice to have her play Wonder Woman."
"Isn't it suitable?" Jessica Felton's first reaction: "Wonder Woman is..."
She glanced at her breasts and said, "Can you get the copyright of the movie of Wonder Woman?"
Ronan said directly: "No, Warner Bros. and DC Comics never give in to Wonder Woman's first score."
The negotiations between the two sides are still in a tug of war. The copyright of "The Joker" and "The Birth of a Star" have long been reached, and the copyright of "Suicide Squad" including Harley Quinn is not a problem.
Relativity Entertainment gave up the copyright of "Wonder Woman" film and television adaptation and instead talked to Warner Bros. about compensation other than these copyrights.
After all, Ronan is the producer of the new "Batman" series, and many news can't be hidden from him. After "The Dark Knight Rises", Warner Bros. plans to continue shooting sequels to achieve seamless connection with the Justice League series.
The greater the future plans for Warner Bros. and DC Comics, the stronger the capital for relativity entertainment negotiations will be.
Back at the manor and having dinner together, Ronan and Jessica Felton tacitly returned to the master bedroom on the third floor. The copyrights of Washington, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn are no longer important.
The next day, Ronan got up early in the morning and ran in the morning. When he came back, he saw Jessica Felton sitting in front of the makeup mirror in a daze.
Ronan went over and pressed her shoulder from behind: "What's wrong?"
Jessica Felton was staring at herself in the mirror, and after a while, she said, "Ronan, do you think I have changed?"
Ronan took a little step back and looked through the mirror carefully: "Your breasts seem to be smaller than before? Is this my illusion?"
Jessica Felton had the urge to roll his eyes, pointed to the corner of his eyes and said, "Did you see it? You can see the crow's feet."
Luo Nan walked forward again, looked carefully for a while before saying, "Where is it? You can't see it."
This slight crow's feet is the normal natural law of human beings.
Jessica Felton sighed softly: "This means I'm starting to grow old too."
Even a career-like woman like Jessica Felton still cares about her appearance.
Ronan remembered very clearly that when he first met Jessica Felton, no matter what his residence was like, Jessica Felton was glamorous in front of people.
Perhaps only the woman herself can see these wrinkles that are not considered to exist in Ronan.
Jessica Felton said in a rare tone: "Have we been a little over-raining lately?"
"No, you're thinking too much." Ronan hugged her from behind and comforted her: "This is a normal change in human beings. We have been in Hollywood for so many years. Is it still unclear that the ageless goddess has never existed. The so-called agelessness is just the result of cosmetics and knife-taking."
Jessica Felton thought of the zombie faces and said, "It's terrible to use a knife on the face."
Ronan smiled and comforted: "Are wrinkles a gift of time? With your natural beauty, you can withstand the test of any wrinkles. I think, as you get older, you will be more beautiful, and this is also the concise maturity and charm of the years."
Jessica Felton turned around and leaned against Ronan: "You can speak so well."
Ronan said seriously: "Jesse, do you know what the most romantic thing in my heart is?"
Jessica Felton cooperated very well and asked, "What?"
Ronan said affectionately: "Let's grow old together."
Hearing this, Jessica Felton hugged Ronan tightly, obviously infected by the atmosphere: "I... Ronan, I'm moved, we're all late, right?"
Ronan hugged her directly: "Dear, we're absent from work today."
In the first week of June, after more than a month of tug-of-warrant negotiations, with the release date of "The Dark Knight" approaching and the increasing popularity of the film, Warner Bros. finally reached an agreement with Relativity Entertainment on the investment and returns of the new "Batman" series of movies.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Relativity Entertainment will automatically give up all investment and income sharing rights in the subsequent sequel of the new Batman movie, including "The Dark Knight Rises".
The box office of the two Batman movies that participated in the investment, "War Start" and all peripheral revenue share, will be shared by the end of this year.
The box office of "The Dark Knight" is divided into all peripherals, and it is as of the end of 2008.
Of course, the latter is that Warner Bros. must push "The Dark Knight" into the global film market on schedule according to the already formulated distribution strategy.
The subsequent sequel to "Batman" has nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.
In order to reach this agreement and regain all rights to the Batman movie, Warner Bros. also paid a considerable price to Relativity Entertainment.
First, there are all the remakes of the two old films "The Joker" and "The Birth of a Star", and then there are the suicide squads of the DC comics, including the Joker's Girl Harley Quinn, and the film and television adaptation rights of the surrounding characters.
This certainly doesn't involve famous characters like Batman and Joker.
As one of the three giants of justice, there is no affirmation of copyright.
Finally, Relativity Entertainment secured $20 million in cash compensation from Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
With the huge influence and expected revenue capabilities of the new "Batman" series, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. cannot say who makes a profit and who loses, they can only say that they each get what they want.
