"Long time no see, Director McLeak."

Ronan spoke quite politely and said with a smile: "Welcome to the cocktail party."

Daniel McLeak had a serious expression: "I am the director and producer of "Blair the Witch", how can I miss the celebration party?"

Hearing this, Jessica Felton glanced at Daniel McLeak. As a technical maniac, he immediately felt professional contempt in his heart. The camera was so bad and his skills were so bad!

Ronan took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Welcome."

Daniel McLeak had no intention of holding it, and said, "I'm here, there's one more thing."

Ronan looked at Daniel McLeak curiously, and Daniel McLeak said: "Thank you Mr. Anderson for sending "The Witch Blair" back to me."

This sounds like thanks, but even Jessica Felton, who doesn't know the inside story, can hear the strange smell.

She looked at Daniel McLeak, then Ronan, and gradually there was speculation, and it was estimated that the producer and the publisher had conflicts.

No matter how technical mates are, Jessica Felton is a Hollywood insider and knows that there are countless conflicts between production and distribution.

Ronan frowned slightly: "Are you working with DreamWorks?"

Daniel McLeak finally showed a smile on his face: "Is it a surprise? Let me tell you the truth, DreamWorks bought the sequel copyright of "The Witch Blair" to cooperate with me."

How thick is Ronan's face? Besides, his original intention is to reuse waste, and he said, "I wish you success."

This was a bit beyond Daniel McLeak's expectations. After looking at Ronan's calm face, he couldn't help but say: "Originally, we could continue to work together, and "Blair the Witch" will continue the success of the first part, but you..."

Daniel Melik was uncomfortable all over when he came here specifically, and did not fight back against Ronan Anderson's stinginess. He continued: "You did too much! I just wanted to get the one that belonged to me, and what about you? Deduct the benefits that the producer deserves!"

Ronan said calmly: "I respect you and I hope you respect the contract we signed."

Daniel McLeak kept nodding: "Okay! OK! Mr. Anderson, see you in court."

Ronan did not respond. This pure dispute over interests would be unnecessary.

Thinking about my previous life, when Daniel Melic and another director, Edyado Sanziz signed a contract with Yijiang Film and verbally agreed that the film would only sell a ball table. What happened? Yijiang Film and verbally took Yijiang Film and then took Yijiang Film to court.

The revenue of "Blair the Witch" is too high. As a producer and director, how could it be worth $80,000 and a little box office bonus?

But understanding is only understanding, but when it comes to the pit, Ronan will not be ruthless.

The $12 million sequel copyright transfer fee for "Blair the Witch" has reached the account of Relativity Entertainment.

Relativity Entertainment lends money to its own projects, so the funds are relatively sufficient.

As for Koch Pictures' $10 million share, it's not too late to wait until the overseas copyright is sold.

Daniel McLeak left quickly.

"Why do you feel like the villain in the movie?" Jessica Felton said suddenly.

Ronan looked at her: "How could a person as glorious as me be a villain?"

Jessica Felton has been exposed to too many movies because of her skills. According to her usual film ideas, she said: "A little director went through hard work to shoot a movie, but the film was sold at the box office, but the big company owed the share of the money and could only be unable to accuse..."

"It's a waste not to be a screenwriter!" Luo Nan couldn't help laughing and explained casually: "I signed a buyout contract with him, buying out all copyrights at one time, and it does not involve post-production."

Jessica Felton understood: "Is this director not complying with the contract? He is still here to find you, it's his problem."

Luo Nan spread his hands out, as if he had met a soulmate: "Yes, that's it." He glanced at the opposite side: "A friend is here, you can play for yourself."

After saying that, Ronan took two steps forward and shook hands with James Huang's agent Edward: "Welcome."

"You created a miracle." Edward was a little excited.

But Ronan said, "I just bought someone else's movies and plans." He looked around and said, "Edward, I have something to talk to you."

Edward guessed something roughly and said, "Yes."

The two found a place with few individuals and sat in a nearby chair. Ronan said: "I plan to shoot and produce a sequel to "Human Purge Plan" next year, and plan to continue to invite James as director."

"This is a good thing." Edward smiled with a honest face, but did not respond positively: "The sequel movie has always been a guarantee of success."

Ronan wanted to settle the contract with James Huang before "The Death is Coming" was released, and said: "Glenn Morgan is creating a script and will be able to come up with the first draft soon. Let's talk about James' new contract."

Edward still smiled honestly: "The God of Death is Coming" has begun to be pre-screening promotion. James has many announcements. For the sake of our cooperation this time, don't distract James from the momentum, and let's talk about it after "The God of Death is Coming" is released."

Hearing this, Ronan knew that James was not going to be so ugly for the time being, and said, "Okay, I will communicate with James. You should say hello to James in advance."

Edward smiled and said, "No problem. Ronan, we have worked very happily, and I hope to continue working with you."

The agent couldn't take the words of this from his mouth, so Ronan talked to Edward for a few more words and left here.

The previous two collaborations with James Huang, especially "The God of Death", Shahai Entertainment saved a lot of directorial pay due to the pre-signing contract.

But after the success of "Human Purge Plan", James Huang is no longer the unknown young director.

Those who can get an entertainment agency license will not be fools. Most Hollywood agents have high education and naturally have certain analytical skills. As long as "The God of Death is Coming" is successful, James Huang's director's pay will definitely rise a lot.

Ronan ended the negotiations with Edward and made two preparations in his mind. The first choice is of course James Huang to continue to direct the sequel to "The Human Purge Plan". If the pay is too high, other candidates must be considered.

After wandering around the banquet hall for a while, Ronan found Andrew, the deputy producer of "The God of Death".

"Next year I'm going to film a sequel to "Human Purge Project"." Ronan said directly: "Can you be a producer?"

In fact, Andrew is in charge of the crew of "Death is Coming" as an associate producer, and he is responsible for the daily affairs of the crew.

Although he used to work on the video casino crew, "The God of Death" was a production of "The God of Death" that invested tens of millions of dollars also broadened Andrew's horizons.

Andrew said without any hesitation: "Yes."

Ronan said again: "After ", ", ", after ", ", ", ", ", "," you will talk to James's agent about the director's contract for the film, and the pay will be as low as possible."

"Is there a bottom line?" Andrew asked.

Ronan replied: "The lower the better."

Andrew, a man with strong execution, said, "I understand."

Ronan whispered a few more words, asking Andrew to take time to prepare for the negotiations. Andrew went first, and there was also an additional buffer, which might have an unexpected effect.

After instructing Andrew, Ronan was about to go find Amanda, but he met Paul Greengrass and Catherine Heiger's agent Dean.

Ronan and Dean had a glass of wine. Dean first congratulated him, and then said apologetically: "The company held a meeting today, and it was delayed for a while and it was late."

"It's okay." Ronan said with a smile.

Dean values ​​cooperation with Ronan. One success is luck. Two successes in a row cannot be just luck.

"Catherine asked me to apologize to you." Dean was very sincere: "She had something to do at home and returned to Washington, D.C. and couldn't come."

Ronan also gave face: "Family is important."

Dean followed his words and said, "Yes, family should be put first." He took the opportunity to change the topic: "Ronan, if you need an actor, director or other position, please contact me, William Morris will provide you with enough support."

This sentence is Dean's purpose.

Of course, Ronan would not refuse the kindness released by the large brokerage company and said, "I will not be polite to you if there is any place to help."

The producer and the agent are in opposition and cooperative relationships. Even if the differences are serious, they will maintain superficial respect. No one can say when the other party will have the resources they urgently need.

As one of the largest agency companies in the industry, William Morris has many clients such as actors, directors and behind-the-scenes jobs. If you are willing to pay the price, an agency of such a level as William Morris can create a super luxurious full-season lineup for the producers in a short time.

Although the one-stop packaging service is created and developed by AA, there are more than one company that provides packaging services now.

Ronan found Amanda Seyfried in the southeast corner of the banquet hall.

"Hello, Mrs. Seyfried," Ronan politely said, "I haven't said thank you to you. The cake is really great."

Mrs. Seyfried said with a smile, "It's good that you like it."

Amanda Seyfried approached his mother and whispered: "Mom, I want to ask Ronan a few questions. Can I talk to him alone?"

"Yes." Mrs. Seyfried did not refuse, but whispered in her ear: "You can't leave the banquet hall."

In her eyes, Ronan is indeed a good person, but the older her daughter grows, she always needs to be in case something happens.

Amanda nodded, smiled at Ronan with a beautiful dimples, and walked towards a place with few people.
