After Carsonberg and Spielberg left, Ronan came to the club door and found that Tom Cruise, who was accompanying him, did not leave, but sat in the corner of the front hall waiting for him.

Ronan went over, pulled open the chair, sat opposite Tom Cruise, and said, "Are you very idle today?"

Tom Cruise shrugged: "For more than an hour, I'm just curious about what Spielberg and Katsenberg are asking you for."

"It's nothing," Ronan said casually: "Dreamworks wants to acquire Relativity Entertainment."

Tom Cruise was a little surprised, but quickly grabbed the key: "Embassy Pictures' overseas distribution network?"

Ronan nodded: "Yes, they can't buy overseas channels for the time being and don't want to spend a long time building them, so they set their sights on Embassy Pictures." He sighed: "Successful video can also bring trouble."

Tom Cruise almost sprayed out the coffee he had just drunk and joked: "I think it's troublesome? Just transfer it to me!"

Ronan ignored him and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.

Although this is a private club and Ronan is not a member of the private club, with Tom Cruise's face scan, this service is not a problem at all.

Tom Cruise did not continue the topic just now and asked, "How is it talking?"

Ronan did not hide it and said directly: "The talk has collapsed. DreamWorks wants to exchange shares for Relativity Entertainment."

"This condition can actually be considered." Tom Cruise also believes that Relativity Entertainment is far inferior to DreamWorks: "As long as the ratio is right, you won't lose."

Ronan shook his head: "I demand control and decision-making power of DreamWorks."

At this moment, Tom Cruise didn't know what to say, so he tilted his head and looked at Ronan for a while before saying, "You did it on purpose, right? This has become a dream factory for the acquisition of relativity entertainment!"

"No." Ronan said: "I'm talking to DreamWorks very seriously."

Tom Cruise said: "Forget it, I won't get involved in your business."

But Ronan did not stop and said, "After the talk collapsed, I proposed that Embassy Film and Television cooperate with DreamWorks, with Embassy Film and Televisions as the overseas publisher of DreamWorks."

Tom Cruise felt that he could not keep up with Ronan's rhythm at all, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "So, when you came on the way, you had this plan when you wanted to release the Minority Report?"

"Hmm." Ronan did not deny: "Tom, you are the leading actor and producer of the film, so I'll say hello to you in advance."

Tom Cruise thought about what happened before and said, "Ronan, I owe you several favors. Regarding this movie, I will make someone talk to DreamWorks and just give you a favor."

Ronan pointed to Tom Cruise: "You are always so disgusting." He said to Tom Cruise: "Are you familiar with Jerever Carsonberg?"

"I know you, you can't be a friend," said Tom Cruise.

Ronan wasn't polite to Tom Cruise, "Can you find some time to ask me for a date?"

Tom Cruise has always been smart. After so many years of hard work, he has already practiced. He immediately thought of one thing: "Your real goal is not DreamWorks Film, but DreamWorks Animation Studio?"

Ronan agreed and asked, "Can you make an appointment?"

Tom Cruise thought for a while and said, "Jerry Ferre is a golf enthusiast. I'll have a few friends playing golf this weekend in Malibu and I'll ask him to go with him when he can."

"Thank you, Tom," Ronan said.

The two chatted for a while and left the private club. Ronan asked the driver to send Tom Cruise to Beverly Hills first and then back to their apartment in North Hollywood.

Ronan has not taken action yet. The real estate agent believes that Ronan is a big customer who can cooperate for a long time and proposed a few good suggestions. The stock market is still falling all the way, and the economic situation will worsen in the future, and the number of people going bankrupt will increase. The pressure from banks or other financial institutions is gradually increasing. Some houses that have been taken back also need to be dealt with. You can wait and find a suitable house.

Without the real estate agent, Ronan will not be in a hurry. Things that have happened one after another will happen. The disaster in September next year will inevitably occur. At that time, the already fragile American social economy will suffer another heavy blow. It will take several years to relieve this.

The matter in September next year is too serious. Ronan doesn't plan to stay in New York, just hide in peace.

As for jumping up and down and doing some moves, it is a way to die.

This serious terrorist attack directly changed the United States, affected the whole world, and even forced the United States to change its global strategy.

The power of an individual is really not worth mentioning in the face of such a major event.

Thinking of the World Trade Center that is about to collapse next year, Ronan suddenly had a bad taste. If someone forces him to have no way out, wait for the morning of September 11 next year to ask the other party to negotiate on the top floor of the World Trade Center...

Entering the study, Ronan put down these messy ideas and seriously considered the DreamWorks.

To be honest, DreamWorks Animation Studios is more valuable than Spielberg and DreamWorks Pictures.

But now I can only think about some things. Development is step by step. I can’t become fat in one breath. Relativity Entertainment is temporarily lacking in strength, and DreamWorks Animation Studio cannot change its doors.

What's more, DreamWorks Animation Studio is not independent and is now part of DreamWorks group company.

Not independent? Ronan wrote down the notebook in front of him and drew a circle.

Relativity Entertainment is not strong enough, so you can only plan some things, but you can try it if you become an overseas publisher of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

Whether online or offline, Embassy Film has established a corresponding distribution network.

A large part of them belongs to the network and resources left over from Polykin Pictures, which was inherited in disguise. It can only be said that the Polykin Group was once a big business and was quite powerful in the 1990s.

Ronan knew that because the two companies were not very equal in strength, it was not easy to win the overseas distribution rights of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

He never thought of getting all of them, just signing a few movies.

Of course, Ronan also has the confidence, after all, the publisher is at the upstream of the producer's industrial chain.

Although Embassy Films cannot compare to the distribution labels of the six major companies, the filth between the six major companies and DreamWorks has long been no secret, and DreamWorks has always wanted to get rid of the clamps of the six major companies.

After the fall of DreamWorks Group in the past, the independent DreamWorks animation studio did not even have the ability to distribute in North America. This animation studio, which can rank among the top three in the Hollywood industry, can only exist as a pure producer. Even though its animation feature films that have received good responses, its revenue capabilities have always been poor due to the release reasons.

In the news that Ronan had seen in his previous life, Jerefer Carsonberg wanted to sell DreamWorks Animation Studio to a large company with distribution capabilities more than once. Not to mention the six major levels, he even considered committing himself to Lionsgate Pictures.

Most of this is the release.

Just like the later DreamWorks Films continued to change its business, the six major companies controlled the right to issue discourse and exploited several DreamWorks brands more effectively.

Ronan believes that the most suitable entry point lies in the relationship between the six major companies and DreamWorks.

But if you want to be convincing, Embassy Films also needs to show practical overseas discoveries.

After thinking about it for a while, considering several possible entry points in each aspect, Ronan called Connie and asked her to collect more information about DreamWorks Animation Studio as soon as possible.

It’s not bad to learn more about DreamWorks Animation Studio.

Ronan went out in the middle and went to the nearby Pepsi chain store to rent three animated films produced by DreamWorks: "The Legend of the Ant", "The Golden City", and "The Prince of Egypt".

When completing the rental procedures, Ronan once again realized Pepsi's low efficiency and long waiting time.

There are even many people complaining.

But PepsiCo is the only one in the video tape and disc rental market, and has no strong competitors at all.

Once there are no competitors of the same level, many companies will have problems.

After completing the rental procedures, Ronan returned home, he watched these three films specifically. "The Legend of the Ant Brother" and "The Brave of the Golden City" are very strange. I have never watched it before. "The Prince of Egypt" is a type that I have basically forgotten to clean up after watching it.

The only impression that this animated feature film adapted from "Exodus" left to Ronan is the song "hen.you.believe" sung by Maria Carey and Whitney Houston.

This song is also a classic work in the movie's golden songs.

Unfortunately, this animated feature film is the song left behind. The film itself is not very successful. I guess Jews can only feel that passionate after watching it.

After watching these three animated feature films, Ronan confirmed one thing, DreamWorks Animation Studio did not determine its own style.

Ronan's own senses, the characteristics of Disney animation are truth, goodness and beauty, Pixar Studio is characterized by modern truth, goodness and beauty, and DreamWorks Animation Studio is characterized by spoof truth, goodness and beauty.

Just as Pixar Studios' animation feature films rarely have purely funny plots, the films of DreamWorks Animation Studios basically have purely funny elements.

Only by having characteristics can we move on.

It's like the Blue Sky Studio without any characteristics, even the 20th Century Fox, which acquired it, is almost despised.

Blue Sky Studio is a tragedy. Its technology is not as good as Pixar, its love is not as good as Disney, its funny is not as good as DreamWorks, its lower cost is not as good as lighting entertainment, and its end can only eat squirrels for the rest of its life.

Before the weekend, Ronan went to Louisiana specifically. Because he applied for a tax refund offer, the crew of "The Deadly Bevel" had already started shooting the outdoor scene in Louisiana.

Louisiana's tax refund offers are not as many as Germany, only eight percent, and it will be returned to the production company after all the filming is completed.

"The tax refund is not much," York, the crew's financial officer, told Ronan: "There is $800,000. Louisiana has strict supervision on this area, so we can't get the money in advance."

Luo Nan held a big tree next to him and said, "Don't worry about this, remember to transfer tax refunds to the company's income."

York was trained by Mary and immediately said, "I understand." He reminded him again: "All the filming and production of the film must be completed in Louisiana."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes."

The restrictions on Americans in this regard are strict, not as generous and generous as the Germans, and even the British cannot compare with them.

The UK’s tax refund policy requires that the applicant crew only need some of the starring actors to shoot in the UK using British actors and some scenes.

In the future, if you can apply for tax refunds overseas, you still have to go overseas to shoot, such as Australia is also a good choice.

Tax refund applications also require competition. Not every country has relatively loose restrictions like Germany. Many countries and regions have certain quotas for movie tax refunds. After the annual quota is issued, they have to wait for the next year.

When Ronan saw the crew temporarily entering the shooting gap, he patted York on the shoulder and said, "Do a good financial supervision."

Through the crew and bypassing the camera slide, Ronan found director Gilmo del Toro. This Mexican director is not tall and has a serious upper body weight. Just like his director nickname, it looks a bit like a gyro.

Seeing Guilmo del Toro resting, Ronan pulled a chair, sat next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Is the shooting going smoothly?"

Gilmo del Toro said: "There has been raining some time ago, and people cannot enter the mountains and forests. The shooting is a week slower than planned, and it may not be completed this month."

Ronan said: "Don't worry, we have plenty of time, first of all, we must ensure the quality of the shooting."

"Yeah." Gilmo del Toro asked, "Will it delay the release?"

Ronan smiled and said, "No. The release date is initially scheduled for next summer, and you have plenty of time to complete the shooting and production."

Gilmore Del Toro breathed a sigh of relief. The first film he came to Hollywood to shoot was not a success. If there were problems twice in a row, the future development would be troublesome.
