Chapter 147 Can We Win?
"Compared with DreamWorks, Relativity Entertainment is indeed a small company."
Looking at Albert Hoffman, Ronan said with a smile: "But the internal structure of the theory of relativity is clear. Unlike DreamWorks, a complete company has been divided into three groups with clear boundaries, and they still have to be internally fed between each other..."
Speaking of this, he shook his head.
DreamWorks' personnel relationship is even more complicated than that of the six major companies.
Albert Hoffman's eyes instantly became sharp. In his eyes, Ronan was just a small person.
More than a year ago, the little man even went to DreamWorks and begged him to release the video.
The people from DreamWorks come over and definitely can't continue talking today. Ronan didn't bother and said, "Allen, Danny. Let's get here today, we'll talk about it another day."
Allen Albert nodded: "Yes."
Danny Donald pointed to the information: "These..."
Ronan smiled and said, "If you don't bother with it, please take it back. I hope we can deepen our understanding."
Danny Donald put away the information, and Allen Albert put away too.
Albert Hoffman didn't know what it was, and did not explore it. He said to Allen Albert: "Dreamworks is very sincere in the invitation of both of you. I hope you don't miss this opportunity. The DreamWorks platform is second only to six major companies in Hollywood."
Large companies do have confidence, and this is also a fact. Today's DreamWorks, in terms of scale, is definitely the leader in the second-tier line.
Don’t Allen Albert knows the strength of DreamWorks? The platform of large companies is indeed not as good as that of small companies. He immediately said, “Mr. Hoffman, I will consider it seriously.”
Ronan did not interrupt rashly, the gap in hard power between Relativity and DreamWorks was too big.
Even though Albert Hoffman's attitude is a bit arrogant, in the eyes of many people, it will be understood as the confidence of a large company.
Thinking about my previous life, let alone many large companies, even some medium-sized companies are not 985 and 211.
Allen Albert and Danny Donald said goodbye and left, but Albert Hoffman did not move.
Luo Nan was also ready to leave and go back to think about countermeasures.
"Mr. Anderson." Albert Hoffman turned his back, pointed to the sofa chair and said, "Do you have time? Let's talk."
Ronan thought for a moment, sat down, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Albert Hoffmann had a slightly smile on his lips and said, "Go back, go back to Los Angeles, DreamWorks will remember your favor."
Another competitor was added in the middle. It is hard to say that Allen Albert would not offer excessive conditions, and DreamWorks would have to pay more.
Luo Nan was silent for a moment. DreamWorks’ favor? It is probably just a matter of keeping it on his lips. Even if DreamWorks really remember this favor, can it be more important than the distribution channel outside Shanghai?
When doing business, you must first measure the value and pros and cons.
After thinking about it for a while, Ronan came to a more important conclusion.
"I will go back in a few days." Ronan said vaguely.
After getting rid of Allen Albert and Danny Donald, of course, they will return to Los Angeles.
Albert Hoffman frowned and said, "Are you going to compete maliciously with DreamWorks? Young people, it is a good thing to be confident and talented, but don't overestimate yourself."
Ronan smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder. This is very correct. Those who are full of confidence and think that they can be rampant in Hollywood with their talents will eventually become stepping stones for others."
Hearing this, Albert Hoffman nodded slightly. The young man seemed to have no determination to fight DreamWorks to the end.
Then add more weight, Albert Hoffman said: "Mr. Anderson, this time I came to the UK, representing director Steven Spielberg, who attaches great importance to this matter! Mr. David Geffen and Mr. Jerefer Carsonberg are also staring at this side!"
He moved out all three DreamWorks.
Even if Luo Nan is determined, he will inevitably feel upset when facing these three people.
Seeing Ronan's expressionless face, Albert Hoffman flashed a trace of disdain in his heart, but his expression was serious: "Dreamworks will not treat every friend unfairly..."
He didn't say the second half, and Ronan could understand it.
If it were anything else, facing the fierce dream factory, Relativity Entertainment would definitely avoid the edge.
But overseas issuance channels are too important.
Dreamworks’ friendship?
Ronan can only be expressed by "hehe".
"Mr. Hoffman." Ronan made a quick decision, first making the DreamWorks boss think that giving up might have some confusing effect, and immediately said: "I also hope to get the friendship of DreamWorks. Director Spielberg is an idol I admire since childhood. "ET Alien" accompanied me as I grew up. Last time at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, I also chatted with Director Spielberg. He is an elder full of personal charm."
Albert Hoffman's smile became stronger and stronger. This young man is not stupid. In today's Hollywood, except for the six major companies, which one can compare to DreamWorks in terms of scale?
Luo Nan said with confidence: "Relativity Entertainment will be friends at DreamWorks."
Albert Hoffman nodded: "Mr. Anderson, you made a smart choice. I will report today to Director Spielberg."
Ronan laughed: "Thank you."
Albert Hoffman stood up: "Just here, see you in Los Angeles."
Ronan shook hands with him, watched Albert Hoffman leave, and the smile on his face gradually closed, turned around and walked towards the elevator. Robert, who was sitting nearby, hurriedly followed.
After entering the elevator, Robert asked in surprise: "Do you really want to give up?"
Ronan did not answer positively and asked back: "Which do you think is important, the friendship between overseas distribution channels and DreamWorks?"
"Friendship is nothing but ethereal, not very reliable." Robert said bluntly: "Overseas distribution channels are the benefits that we can touch and see."
Ronan said: "I want a distribution channel."
The two entered the room, and Ronan kept thinking about how to win the competition with DreamWorks.
Judging from Allen Albert's attitude, he seems to have a good impression of DreamWorks, after all, the scale of DreamWorks is there.
However, Danny Donald doesn't seem to like that Albert Hoffman very much.
Listening to what Albert Hoffman said, this person should be Spielberg's confidant.
In his previous life, DreamWorks never established an overseas issuance channel, which is undoubtedly true, but Polygon was indeed acquired by Global...
Why did DreamWorks miss this opportunity? Danny Donald's face suddenly appeared in Ronan's mind.
Allen Albert and Danny Donald can influence each other, but relying solely on Danny Donald is far from enough. After all, the general environment of Western society is here.
Damn DreamWorks, why isn't it going bankrupt now? Ronan Curses.
The gap in the company's hard power is too big.
"Robert, if you were Allen Albert or Danny Donald," Ronan asked, "Which would you choose?"
Robert thought for a moment and said, "Dreamworks."
Ronan sighed and called Chris to find out what the two of them said.
Not long after, Chris called back, and Allen Albert had not made a decision, but he asked Chris about the situation in DreamWorks several times in his speech.
Ronan put down the phone and found the pile of information prepared in advance. While flipping through and thinking, he looked at the information of the two men, and then looked at the situation after Albert Hoffman came to London provided by Keane on the public face...
It is probably difficult to compete for DreamWorks alone, so is it necessary to take risks?
Ronan looked up and asked Robert again: "Normal competition, may we be better than DreamWorks?"
Robert smiled bitterly, afraid of affecting Ronan's judgment, and told the truth: "It's possible, but the chance is very small."
Hearing this, Luo Nan stood up and walked a few steps, and finally made up his mind.
"I have a plan, I don't know if it will be successful." Ronan said slowly: "If we do nothing, the chance of losing to DreamWorks is very high. More than 90% of the time it is possible to lose the opportunity to establish overseas issuance channels. But if we succeed, we will at least have the opportunity to compete with DreamWorks at the same time."
Since his first trip to Abu Dhabi, Robert has trusted Ronan very much and said, "Let's do it!"
Ronan said seriously: "I will talk to Chris first and ask him to contact Sony Columbia. It is best to inspire Columbia Pictures to lead six major companies to jointly put pressure on DreamWorks. Sony Entertainment is willing to let Chris come to London with us. The attitude is very obvious. I want DreamWorks to not be able to spend more energy to pay attention to London for the time being."
Robert Tatto: "The six companies don't want to see the rise of DreamWorks threaten their position."
Ronan continued: "I personally called Tom Cruise. He was friends with Allen Albert, so he asked him to persuade Allen Albert from the side. Then it was Danny Donald..."
"I'll go?" Robert volunteered.
Ronan shook his head: "No, I'll go." He looked at Robert: "You have something more important to do, you go find Keen..."
Robert was a little surprised after listening to Ronan's words carefully and said, "Isn't this good?"
"Can we win without using unconventional means?" Ronan asked.
Robert was silent, and the gap between him and DreamWorks was too big.
Ronan said again: "There must be a way for a person like Keen who is at the junction of black and white. You can discuss the price with him, but you must keep your mouth shut and remember not to go to his place."
"I understand." Robert immediately went to Keane.
Ronan called Chris and roughly explained the situation of meeting the two people before. He also said with a little exaggeration that DreamWorks was about to obtain overseas distribution channels. Without waiting for him to say more, Chris contacted Sony Columbia Pictures.
Today, Sony Columbia Pictures president is Gustafson who served as an assistant.
At noon that day, Chris rushed back to Los Angeles to report to Gustafson.
