In fact, during Christopher Nolan's filming of "The Deadly Magic", Ronan was considering another magic-themed film, the "Shocking Demons" that investors from across the Pacific had participated in.

But Ronan knew that magic-themed movies are relatively niche in Hollywood, so he never made a decision. He planned to see the actual market response of "Deadly Magic" and make a decision based on the recent market statistics.

"Deadly Magic" performed mediocrely in North America, and the overseas market response was also very average. The first weekend of paintings in nearly 30 countries and regions overseas was only more than 10 million US dollars.

You know, the director of this film is Christopher Nolan, who has a strong ability to balance business and plot. His previous "Batman: The Moment of War" also brought him a large number of hardcore fans.

If it were other directors, the results of "The Deadly Magic" would undoubtedly be worse.

Ronan took into account all aspects and automatically gave up the project "Shocking Demons and Thieves". The gorgeous magic effect requires a large number of special effects shots, which determines that the production cost of the film must be far higher than that of "Deadly Magic", but the innate defects of the niche theme will bring huge investment risks.

However, he still handed the script outline to the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment, and asked them to register the copyright after completing the script.

At least it can be regarded as a future project copyright reserve for Relativity Entertainment.

The market and audience are always changing, just like superhero movies. More than ten years ago, they were absolutely niche themes. Who would have thought that they would become one of the pillars that will carry the box office of the global film market in more than ten years?

Maybe one day, magic themes will become popular.

Another niche genre released by Relativity Entertainment, although the director is a woman, is more popular than Christopher Nolan's "The Deadly Magic".

Since the expansion of "Juno", there has been no big box office explosion on any weekend, but the box office output is quite stable.

Once a popular social topic, such as abortion, is difficult to calm down in a short period of time, even if the related discussions are not as hot as they were at the beginning, there is still a lot of attention.

In the United States, Democrats and Republicans have always argued over abortion issues, and for a long time, abortion issues have become a crucial option for both parties to win voters.

Since the release of "Juno", the topic of abortion has gradually become the focus.

On the one hand, Virginia has a high-profile support for abortion until delivery; on the other hand, in southern states such as Alabama and Georgia, many official organizations have begun to discuss the possibility of signing the Heartbeat Act. According to this bill, it stipulates that abortion will become a crime when a woman can hear the fetus' heartbeat after more than 40 days of pregnancy.

All of these ensure that "Juno" always receives certain attention.

Starting from the massively expanded screening, "Juno" has not had a box office on any weekend, falling below $10 million.

Although there is no explosion, the stable box office trend is also very rare for this niche type of movie.

By the time it was approaching November, after six weeks of smooth screenings, the North American box office of "Juno" reached $70,000.

This box office output is more than ten times the production cost of the film $6 million.

Moreover, with the support of sufficient topics, the box office output of "Juno" is far from reaching the end.

The film has not been released in the market outside North America. At present, Embassy Films is also preparing for overseas release. According to market surveys, due to the types of themes, it would be good if the overseas box office could have half of North America's output.

"Juno" can be said to be a very American film.

For example, in many places in the East, abortion is equally sensitive, but it is not a rare thing.

The differences in cultural background and the mentality of watching movies are also completely different, and it is difficult for the audience to understand the practices in "Juno".

Even in the film circles across the Pacific, when shooting youth-type movies, there is a very common view of not being young without abortion.

The phenomenon behind this view is probably very common in which literary youth circle?

Anyway, Ronan has been from junior high school to high school and then to college for four years, and is also a well-informed person. He has never heard of any classmate having an abortion.

Perhaps, this is also related to the fact that his social circle is not wide enough.

"Juno" became famous, had a great influence, and earned more box offices, and troubles followed.

A twenty-five woman named Samantha from Arizona, together with her attorney, accused the media that "Juno" film used her real experience as a prototype of the story without her permission, which damaged her reputation and undermined her civil rights.

"Shahai Entertainment tried to get my consent and disclaimer while making movies and portraying characters, but I refused to give up my right to give consent and disclaimer. Despite this, Shahai Entertainment still used my personal experience to make and promote videos."

Behind every hot film in Hollywood, there are always countless "infringed people" appear.

As for the truth or falsehood, anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.

Samantha accused: "Shahai Entertainment producer Jessica Felton and director Sofia Coppola are full of malice and have no respect for the truth. The film will forever damage my personal reputation."

Samantha and her attorneys then formally sued Shahai Entertainment, demanding that Shahai Entertainment pay $10 million in damages for the injuries caused to her, and also demanding another $10 million in punitive damages, totaling $20 million.

Samantha was just a trivial little person. When the Relativity Entertainment Copyright and Legal Department saw the news, she quickly obtained all the information of her and her lawyer. There was no support from the two of them, and they simply wanted to get some money.

Because Samantha did get pregnant in high school and gave birth to other families to raise, it looks very similar to Juno's experience.

Once anyone's mind is full of greed, there is only money left in front of him. He will ignore his work and make many ridiculous and stupid mistakes.

"It's really a touching interest!"

In the lounge, Jessica Felton walked around and said helplessly to Ronan who was sitting on the sofa: "In the United States, there are no 1,000 women who have had similar experiences, and there are also 500. According to this lawsuit, Hollywood will not shoot similar videos."

This was the first time she encountered such a thing, and it was inevitable that she felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, that Samantha said directly that producer Jessica Felton was full of malice.

Ronan said: "It doesn't matter, a small person who is insignificant, she can't make any waves."

Jessica Felton asked, "How do we deal with it."

Ronan didn't even think about it: "We're going to sue, we'll accompany you to the end." He added: "In addition, there will be someone from the Ministry of Copyright and Legal Affairs to check the name..."

"Samantha," Jessica Felton reminded.

"Yes, Samantha," Ronan said: "I will hire professionals to check her taxes and other situations, and hope she will be a law-abiding person."

Thinking of the tax bureau and the possible serious consequences, Jessica Felton, as a woman, was inevitably a little soft-hearted: "Will this be a bit too much?"

Ronan did not answer positively, but said half-jokingly: "Hollywood has made so many films about smearing Hitler. Have you ever considered Hitler's feelings?"

Jessica Felton couldn't help but shake her head and laughed, and this little bit of female softness was thrown behind her.

No one who can make his career out of the chaotic business circle and the fiercely competitive Hollywood will be the Virgin.

"This kind of thing..." Jessica Felton could not figure out the key: "With the first time, we don't respond strictly, and there will be a second and third time later."

Ronan laughed: "In fact, I can't count how many times this is accusing the infringement of relativity entertainment movies. Such bad things will continue to emerge in the future."

For example, in "Avatar" that James Cameron is filming, a lot of people accusing the film of infringement will pop up.

Relativity Entertainment has put a lot of work in front of it, and has achieved the ultimate under existing laws and regulations, whether in terms of law or copyright.

But after the film was released, these situations are still difficult to avoid.

After all, it is just one sentence, and the benefits are touching.

For many people, as long as they can bite a small hair from "Avatar", it will be enough for them to have no worries in their entire lives.

This temptation is too great.

These people who accused copyright infringement did not really want to sue the law, but wanted to reach an out-of-court settlement with the film company and get some money.

Relativity Entertainment has not made an out-of-court settlement with anyone in this regard so far.

This also represents an attitude.

Some things, even if you give in once, will bring more trouble.

Jessica Felton rubbed her smooth forehead: "It's a headache to think about it. At the beginning, I was just a simple editor, an editor, and I didn't have to consider the final editing rights. I just needed to complete the work according to the requirements of the director or producer, and only pure technology was needed. Later, I gradually worked as a post-production producer and had to consider all aspects of post-production. I had a lot more work, so it was easy for me to deal with it. Now that I became a producer, my vision was wider, and I also found that this industry was not as simple as I thought at the beginning..."

Ronan said: "The station is different, and the scenery you see is different."

"That's right." Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "In the past, I wouldn't worry about copyright lawsuits."

Ronan looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, go to the press conference."

Jessica Felton has been paying attention to the time and said, "Go a little earlier to make media friends feel respectful."

The two left the lounge and walked towards the side door of the news hall.
