After learning that Polygon Pictures and Sony Columbia Pictures have been working together, Ronan immediately contacted Chris of Sony Entertainment and made an appointment with him to meet him.

"Allen Albert and Danny Donald of Polykin Pictures?" Chris looked at Ronan deeply and said, "I know them. Polykin's movie distribution channel was founded by these two people. When they talked to Sony about the North American release of "Extreme Suspect", I was the assistant of Gustafson, who was in charge of the negotiations."

Gustafson is one of the heads of Sony Columbia.

All Ronan needs is someone who knows both sides as a recommendation. Since Chris knows them, it's best.

"Are you familiar with them?" Ronan asked again.

Chris and Ronan have worked together twice in a row. There is no need to lie about this kind of trivial matter. To be honest, "You know the nature of my work, I asked the film to discuss the release. Sony later released several Polykin films, all of which I talked about with Allen Albert and Danny Donald. I am so familiar with it, but I can't talk about the relationship."

He said directly: "Have you heard of Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoke Bulleys"?"

Ronan nodded: "I know, a typical example of multi-line narrative."

"This film has Polykin's investment share," Chris continued: "Allen Albert and Danny Donald originally wanted to find Sony Columbia as a North American publisher, but they asked for it too high, so I refused after watching the film."

Ronan gave him a small compliment: "You have a good attitude."

This film was released in North America in May and has a great response in the critics, but the market is quite average. The box office of $3 million is estimated to not even be able to earn back the publicity and distribution costs invested by the issuer, and it takes a long time to recover the costs from other parties.

As one of the top six, Sony Columbia is not looking at such a movie.

Is "Two Big Blows" excellent? There is no doubt about this, but there are too many good movies that cannot make money.

However, the film ended up being released in North America.

Ronan caught the key point and asked, "How did this movie enter North America?"

"Tom Cruise." Chris gave a very unexpected answer. "Tom Cruise and Allen Albert are friends for many years. They seem to have the same beliefs or something. At that movie meeting, Tom Cruise directly told the publisher: This is the best movie I have seen in these years. If you don't buy it, you'd be stupid."

Ronan recorded this in his mind, and Tom Cruise and the two of them could speak.

Chris asked at this time: "Ronan, are you inquiring about these two people's problems?"

Ronan thought for a while and decided to say, "I want you to help introduce them to you."

Chris looked at Ronan with an unknown look in his eyes.

Ronan said again: "I have a distribution company that urgently needs talents. These two are experts in distribution, and we want to poach them."

Chris immediately thought of some things that were circulated in the circle and understood Ronan's intention: "Are you planning to let the Embassy Film Company establish overseas distribution channels?"

Luo Nan knew that this was not something that could be hidden from someone, and said, "It was because of this consideration, but it was just a future plan."

Chris pondered for a moment and said, "Ronan, we are friends and have known each other for a long time. From a personal emotional perspective, I am willing to help you. But from the perspective of the company..."

"Dreamworks is also staring at them!" Ronan didn't know what DreamWorks were doing, but understood the tacit attitude of the six major companies towards DreamWorks: "If DreamWorks establish overseas distribution channels, it will have the ability to truly compete with the six major companies. There is an agreement between you six major companies to maintain the stability of the top-rise buildings in Hollywood. The six majors can only be reduced but not increased..."

Chris didn't understand what Ronan meant and looked at Ronan without saying a word.

Ronan said again: "I am frank, since Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, Columbia's performance has been ranked last in the sixth place in recent years. Once DreamWorks has an independent overseas distribution channel, who will be the first to surpass? Will the other five companies reach other tacit understandings? For example, with DreamWorks, replacing Columbia's position in MPAA? Don't forget that your side is a Japanese company holding company, with a clear barrier from the Western world. The three giants of DreamWorks are all Jews. The biggest force in this circle is the Jewish power."

Chris's face is not very good-looking, it is not difficult to imagine that business is just intrigue.

Ronan said calmly: "Chris, you can report this to Sony Entertainment. If you stand on the same side as me, I believe Sony Entertainment will support you. Maybe this is a great achievement."

I don't know the direction of DreamWorks yet, so Ronan didn't say anything more. For the time being, he just wanted Chris to recommend it.

If DreamWorks also appears, Sony Entertainment must have doubts.

"You're here to wait for me."

Chris walked out of the reception room with a serious expression and went directly to Gustafson's office.

In fact, what he just said was the truth. If this was just a private matter, it would be impossible to help because of his repeated cooperation with Ronan.

But it's not just a private matter.

Ronan waited for more than half an hour before Chris returned to the lounge.

Chris asked directly: "What are you going to do?"

Ronan said: "I'm going to London and meet these two."

"Okay." Chris didn't hesitate at all: "I'll go with you."

Sony Columbia won’t watch DreamWorks grow bigger. Six locations are already crowded on the top floor of Hollywood. If you climb up, the one that falls down is definitely the most unstable Columbia Pictures.

Ronan didn't say nonsense: "I've confirmed the itinerary and call you."

Leaving Sony Columbia, Ronan returned to the car and was not in a hurry to leave, preparing to contact Tom Cruise.

That day, I also exchanged business cards with Liang Tang with the party, and just like other people’s personal contact information, they all exist on their mobile phones.

When he dialed Tom Cruise's number, he answered the call. Tom Cruise happened to have time. When he heard that Ronan had something to ask him for something, he directly asked him to go to his home in Beverly Hills.

Chris said that Tom Cruise and Allen Albert have shared faith for many years, and Ronan also wants to make more preparations.

Generally speaking, you can ask a headhunter company for poaching things like this, but overseas distribution channels are too important to Ronan, and even more critical than North American distribution.

If overseas distribution channels are built solely by Embassy Films, they will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Ronan was not at all concerned about the headhunting company.

When he arrived at Beverly Hills, Ronan found Tom Cruise's home without much effort.

The mansion of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman is located near the famous Hurst Manor.

Ronan entered the luxurious mansion, without the mind to appreciate the artistic decoration, and his head was thinking about how to get Tom Cruise to help lobby.

But soon, he decided not to mention the matter of asking Tom Cruise to help lobby for the time being. After all, he did not have much deep friendship with Tom Cruise, so it would be necessary to owe a huge favor to let Tom Cruise help lobby for the help. Even if Tom Cruise had a business acumen, he might ask for something.

Ronan still remembers that Tom Cruise said he wanted to help last time.

In the living room, Tom Cruise, who received the news, stood at the door to greet Ronan. After Ronan shook hands with Tom Cruise and greeted each other, he took a special glance. Nicole Kidman was sitting on the sofa in a home suit and flirted with magazines. He looked lazy and obviously didn't want to say hello to anyone.

The hostess ignored it, and Ronan did not intend to say hello, and followed Tom Cruise into the reception room.

In the middle, he glanced at Nicole Kidman again. The woman seemed to have not seen the visitor from home, but was just reading magazines on her own.

Ronan had some speculation in his mind that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman might have begun to live without interfering with each other.

"What's the matter with me?" Tom Cruise asked with a smile.

For a promising producer, he doesn't have the airs of superstars.

Ronan seemed particularly sincere and said with a smile: "Tom, I want you to help you with something."

Tom Cruise seemed to say casually: "Just say something, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Of course, it’s a different story to say if you can’t do it.

Ronan could understand the subtext and did not talk about lobbying. If it could be solved with money and Sony Entertainment, it would be best.

With his own words, and with the words from Tom Cruise at the last party, Ronan felt that if he really wanted to ask Tom Cruise for help, he would have to pay a certain price.

This can be used as a back-up backup.

Ronanzhi said: "I want to hire Mr. Allen Albert of Polykin Pictures to work for my company, but I don't know him..."

"Alan?" Tom Cruise frowned.

Ronan nodded: "I heard that you are friends with Mr. Albert. Can you help me introduce me?"

Tom Cruise frowned and then laughed, saying, "I can only call you." It is completely different from some rumors in his previous life. Tom Cruise is very generous in such small things: "I can introduce you to Allen, but it is yours, and I will not participate."

"Thank you, Tom." Ronan said with his rare sincerity: "This has helped me a lot, thank you very much."

This was just a small task. Tom Cruise didn't take it seriously at all. The smile on his face made people feel good like the sun: "You're welcome."

After chatting with Ronan for a while, after talking about the matter in the circle, Tom Cruise simply called Allen Albert, who was far away in London in front of Ronan.

Tom Cruise is very good at being a human being now.
