After the meeting, Robert did not leave immediately, but followed Ronan into the office.

"The company is very excited by the sales of "Blair Witch"." Robert made a suggestion: "Would we have a celebration party?"

He pulled open his chair and sat opposite Ronan, saying, "This is good for both companies to understand each other and deepen cooperation."

Ronan just thought a little and agreed: "You can hold a celebration party. After the film is released in North America, find a party company to prepare."

This film made a lot of profits, and taking a small amount of money to do a company activity is nothing.

Moreover, parties are also conducive to socializing.

Robert said another thing: "Two days ago, I heard from people that Daniel McLeak was preparing to work with DreamWorks. It seemed that it was a horror movie. DreamWorks people took the initiative to contact him."

"The success of "Blair the Witch" is here." Ronan was not surprised at all: "Some film companies inevitably think that he will continue to succeed."

Robert heard the subtext in this sentence: "Don't you be optimistic about Daniel McLeak?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "As a director, Daniel McLeak has overdrawn the future, and it will be difficult to succeed unless he can make a truly high-quality movie."

"It seems like DreamWorks and Daniel McLeak want to copy the success of "The Witch Blair"" Robert said.

Ronan said: "I wish them success."

Most of the negative effects brought by "Blair Witch" are borne by Daniel Malik and his team. Some people want to cooperate with Daniel Malik to create a second success in the short term, which is asking for trouble.

Robert joked: "I'll say this when you meet Susan Arnold, I guess she will be happy."

"Who is Susan Arnold?" Ronan forgot to see this woman on TV.

Robert replied: "The producer of DreamWorks, she was responsible for "The Ghost Invasion" released some time ago with "The Witch Blair". It was Susan Arnold who lobbied Daniel McLeak to cooperate with DreamWorks."

Ronan remembered the female producer. Just as he was about to say something, the phone on his desk rang. He answered the phone and said a few words, and couldn't help but frown.

Hang up and Ronan said to Robert: "Just just now, Attorney Dinah called me, and Daniel McLeak sued Relativity Entertainment in the Los Angeles District Court and asked us to pay the box office share. It is estimated that the subpoena will be sent soon."

"What?" Robert was angry: "How can people be so shameless!"

Relativity Entertainment is clearly working on the contract, and he asked: "What does lawyer Dinah say?"

Ronan was very calm: "This kind of prosecution may take a long time. Attorney Dinah estimated that the other party's purpose was to want some money. It was just to sue us for out-of-court settlement."

He made a decision when answering the phone: "I will not settle out of court with him, everything will be done according to the contract. If Daniel McLeak talks nonsense in the media, the copyright contract with him will be announced."

There are many people who are jealous of movies every year. Various interest demands lead to constant disputes. This will not be the first time, nor will it be the last time.

Hollywood film companies face too many profit distribution lawsuits and copyright lawsuits every year.

"Well, we can't back down." Robert is also a person who has been living in Hollywood for many years: "Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Today is Daniel Melik asking for rewards outside the contract. Will James Huang also ask for rewards outside the contract tomorrow?

This will become a vicious cycle.

Luo Nan also knew this and would rather lose a lawsuit than make a settlement outside court, and the possibility of losing is extremely small.

Part of the reason for signing a long-term agreement with a firm like Sheng Zhi that specializes in dealing with entertainment legal issues is to deal with this issue.

Robert said strangely: "I have had several dealings with Daniel McLeak. This guy has never had an agent, has no connections in Hollywood, and doesn't know much about entertainment laws. How could he suddenly find a lawyer to go to court to sue us?"

He looked at Ronan: "Will there be a DreamWorks relationship behind this? Is DreamWorks or Susan Arnold supporting him?"

Ronan frowned: "We don't seem to have any conflict of interest with DreamWorks." He then woke up and said: "Is this a way to win over Daniel Melick?"

"It's possible," Robert said. "There are several studios who are interested in working with Daniel McLeak, and he ended up choosing DreamWorks."

Ronan thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed Dinah's number, hung up the phone and waited for a while, and Dinah's lawyer called back.

"Daniel McLeak's agent is a lawyer who has been working with DreamWorks' legal department for a long time." Ronan said what he learned: "It is probably because DreamWorks helped him behind his back in order to attract Daniel McLeak to cooperate."

The title of successful director is very attractive. Ronan can see the adverse effects of "Blair the Witch" clearly, mainly because of the related memories of his previous life.

Perhaps some film companies can also analyze the negative impact behind the success of "Blair the Witch", but more people will be blinded by immediate interests.

Robert muttered: "Dreamworks is a bit too much to take us seriously. This is to treat us as a stepping stone to win over Daniel Melick."

Ronan smiled: "That's a dream factory that wants to become a big Hollywood company, so naturally he looks down on small companies like us."

Although DreamWorks is just starting out, no matter which aspect, it is far behind the 100 streets of Relativity Entertainment.

The six Hollywood conferences take small companies seriously? DreamWorks regards itself as the seventh largest.

Since his first trip to Abu Dhabi, Robert has been a little angry and asked, "Do you want to do something?"

"Don't!" Ronan stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, that's Spielberg's dream factory, we can't afford to provoke now."

Robert looked at Ronan strangely. As far as he knew, Ronan was never the kind of person who suffered a loss.

Ronan sat on the office chair. Although he was not sure what DreamWorks did in Daniel McLeak’s prosecution of relativity, it was all about how he looked at it.

Just like a small person is helpless in the face of a big force, a small company is an ant in the eyes of a big group.

The people at DreamWorks probably didn't take relativity seriously.

Of course, relativity entertainment cannot have conflicts with DreamWorks, otherwise there will definitely be very big trouble.

Although DreamWorks is suppressed by the six major Hollywoods everywhere, it is not comparable to a small relativity entertainment.

Ronan had a general idea: "Robert, go check it out to see if there is a shadow of DreamWorks behind Daniel McLeak's lawsuit against the theory of relativity." He frowned: "If not, forget it, if there is..."

Robert's fire had already gone down and he was awake. He quickly reminded him: "Ronan, that's the dream factory of the Big Three!"

"Don't worry." Ronan laughed, "I won't have a conflict with DreamWorks if you think."

Robert asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

He was really worried that Ronan would be young and energetic and would provoke the three DreamWorks giants.

Ronan whispered: "I just want to sell them the copyright of the sequel to Blair the Witch."

Robert was stunned.

"The success of "Blair the Witch" is something that cannot be copied in the sequel." Ronan said simply: "The copyright of the sequel is meaningless to us and should be attractive to the outside world."

Robert responded: "Absolutely attractive!"

Ronan continued: "I secretly spread news to the outside world, especially at DreamWorks, saying that Relativity Entertainment is preparing to raise funds to buy office buildings. Now it is very short of money and intends to sell some assets to raise money, including the sequel copyright of "The Witch Blair".

All that is sold is the sequel copyright, and of course the copyright of "Blair the Witch" will not be sold.

"Good way!" Robert raised a thumb: "You can also make a lot of money with the sequel copyright."

How much can the copyright of a sequel to a North American film that is about to exceed $150 million in the box office? Seven figures are easy.

Robert then had doubts: "What if DreamWorks are not interested?"

Ronan said: "The same is true for selling the sequel copyright to other companies. Whose money is not money? If no one is willing to buy it, we will not lose anything other than wasting some saliva."

In the future, as long as the title of "Blair the Witch" appears, fans will think of this scam.

This video has exhausted all its potential.

Selling the copyright of the sequel can be said to be a waste utilization.

Robert said: "Leave this to me."

In just two days, Robert brought some news to Ronan. In order to attract Daniel McLeak to cooperate, Susan Arnold of DreamWorks provided him with legal aid. Daniel McLeak has submitted a script for a new horror film project to DreamWorks, but it was rejected by DreamWorks.

DreamWorks and Susan Arnold want to copy the success miracle of Blair the Witch, rather than a normal horror movie.

Ronan quickly made a decision to ask Mary to contact the real estate agency, so that the theory of relativity would reveal the idea of ​​preparing to buy an office building, and then spread news about the copyright of the sequel to "Blair the Witch".

No one can guarantee whether people can be seduced to buy the copyright of the sequel.

Entering September, after eight weeks of screening, "Blair the Witch" broke through the $150 million mark in North America, with a cumulative total of $151.2 million.

The film's lifespan is almost gone, but Ronan asked the Embassy Film and Television to communicate with the theaters. "Blair the Witch" will insist on being screened until Halloween eve and will be offline before the DVD discs and videotapes are launched.

After dealing with these matters, Ronan drove to Los Angeles International Airport in person to prepare to pick him up.
