In the Shahai Entertainment employee lounge, Anne Hathaway looked curiously at a strong man with a fleshy face walking towards Ronan's office through the opened door.

Anne Hathaway looked at the delicate girl diagonally opposite and asked, "Linsai, who is that person?"

Lindsay Bill glanced, continued to look down at the script, and replied: "Uvi Ball, a German director."

"This is Uvey Ball who directed "House of Death"?" Anne Hathaway was a little surprised: "This is not like a director, but more like a street gang member in Queens, New York."

Lindsay Bill’s eyes didn’t leave the script: “I’m surprised that such a person can be a director. But Ronan thinks he will succeed, and the commercial success of “House of Death” has also been a huge success.”

Anne Hathaway instantly transformed into Ronan: "Ronan's vision is not something we can compare to."

Lindsay Bill shrugged slightly and did not take any more words from Anne Hathaway.

In the office, Ronan saw Uvi Ball's face again.

Compared to others who think that Uvy Ball looks a bit ferocious, Ronan feels that this face is full of joy because he has read a lot of information about Uvy Ball in his previous life.

Who else can be the director who can become a public enemy of the game fan?

The game-adapted movie is definitely Uvi Ball's specialty, and this time I come to Ronan is no exception.

"Good news!" Uvi Ball said to Ronan excitedly: "Ronan, I have brought good news!"

Ronan asked Uvi Ball to sit down first, and then said, "Share it."

Uvi Ball quickly said, "I have negotiated the movie adaptation rights for a game?" He reminded, "Do you remember last year I told you that there is a computer game to be released in the fall? After the game was launched, I found a game production company and worked with them for more than two months, and finally reached an agreement on the movie adaptation."

Hearing him say this, Ronan praised: "Well done, Uvi. What you bring is indeed good news."

Uvi Ball has worked with Shahai Entertainment once. Knowing Ronan's serious and responsible attitude, he quickly opened his briefcase, took out the project plan, placed it on the desk in front of Ronan, and said, "This is my plan and related information, please take a look."

When Ronan saw the thick stack, he didn't look through it immediately. He had to take time to take a closer look and said, "You can talk about it briefly first."

Wu Wei Ball said with a rare serious face, "The game is "Dungeon Siege" launched by GPG Studio last year. It is a magical role-playing type. After the game was launched, it has received enthusiastic responses among game fans and a lot of supporters. If we adapt the movie, we naturally have a considerable number of audiences."

After experiencing the operation of the movie "House of Death", Uvi Ball has obvious knowledge of films.

Ronan pinched his chin: "This game seems to be good."

"Dungeon Siege" is a game that was quite famous in the past life. If there are enough audiences among game fans, it will attract more attention at that time. It is estimated that more people will join the ranks of attacking Uvi Ball.

Proper guidance at that time may lead to a situation where Uvi Ball is scolded by watching movies.

However, controlling the scale of investment is necessary.

"How much production budget do you expect?" Ronan asked.

Uvi Ball had some expectations and said, "No need to do it, but it's better than the previous one, right?"

The last production budget was only $3 million, including the copyright fee for the game-adapted movie. Ronan thought for a while and asked, "What kind of movie are you going to make?"

Uvi Ball seemed to have considered it: "Although this is a game adaptation, I am going to take off the outer cloak of the game. It makes people feel more like an epic legend and bring more enjoyment to the audience."

This is similar to "House of Death", and Ronan quite agrees: "From the game, but it's out of the game."

Uvi Ball laughed and said, "After "The House of Death", I really discovered something, especially the game adaptation movie. The game is completely different from the movie. The settings and plots that are suitable for the game may not be suitable for adaptation into the movie."

He was confident: "Take "Dungeon Siege as an example, the game setting is too complicated and not intuitive for the movie. So, I plan to adapt this movie into a hero's revenge film, which generally tells the story of a farmer embarking on the road of revenge, eventually becoming a hero and saving a kingdom."

Ronan crossed his hands and stood on the armrest of the chair and said, "This is very good at Lywood."

Uvi Ball said again: "I will not copy all the plot settings in the game. I plan to add many fresh elements. It is understandable to add some scale to the film slightly. This can play a positive role and can help the whole story to a completely new level and distinguish the film from those traditional game adaptations."

"Yes." Ronan believes that the value of the film is more reflected in Uvi Ball himself: "When I have read the plan, I will give you a clear reply."

Uvi Ball reminded: "Don't delay it for too long, and send professionals to talk to GPG studio about copyright transfer as soon as possible."

Ronan said: "Don't worry, I will give you an answer before the New Year."

Uvi Ball stood up: "I won't disturb you. Goodbye, Ronan."

Ronan stood up and shook hands with Uvi Ball and sent him out of the office.

Call Anne Hathaway, Ronan took the plan sent by Uvee Ball and returned to Beverly Hills with her. On the way back, he looked at the plan while thinking about the feasibility of the project.

Controlling the scale of investment is the primary condition, and we must strive to keep the production budget of this film at around 10 million US dollars.

Promotional marketing is the key to the film's profitability, and the focus is Uvi Ball himself.

Next is the actor. I remember that the male protagonist in his previous life was Shengshi Meiyan Jason Statham. As a rare star who can perfectly control bald hairstyles, if the pay is right, it would be nice to invite Jason Statham.

B-level movie celebrities still have a certain appeal.

"Want to work?" Anne Hathaway looked at the plan in Ronan's hand curiously: "So tracing."

Ronan closed the plan, picked it up and shook it, and said, "German director Uvi Ball planned a big project to get Shahai Entertainment to invest."

Anne Hathaway is an actor. When he heard the word "big project", he immediately became interested and asked, "What big project is it?"

Rona said in a general way: "The magical type...well, how do you say it? The theme is similar to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings."

Anne Hathaway is even more interested: "The magical movie is now popular in Hollywood." She asked Ronan tentatively: "Is there any character suitable for me?"

Ronan shook his head and said, "Annie, this project is not for you."

This is the truth. It is very likely that the film adaptation of the game directed by Uvey Ball. It does not have the beauty of the prosperous age like Jason Statham, which is very likely to drag down future development.

"Oh." Anne Hathaway responded.

Ronan glanced at her and the two had always been very happy together. He rarely explained specifically: "Because this is a bad movie that can be expected."

Anne Hathaway looked at him strangely: "Bad movie? Why do you need to make a bad movie?"

Ronan said directly: "I am a producer and a businessman. As long as the film is profitable, there is no fundamental difference between a classic and a super bad movie."

Anne Hathaway opened her mouth: "I understand."

Bentley Elegant sails into the Future World Manor, Ronan and Anne Hathaway soon enter the restaurant to enjoy a dinner carefully prepared by Ronan's private chef.

Ronan specially prepares luxurious and exquisite meals in the kitchen.

The first dish is made of black truffle potato salad and smoked salmon, which has a melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Australian Gourd Seed Soup is followed by the main course, with two main courses: the first course is pan-fried deep-sea red fish and sturgeon roe sauce with seafood cream sauce, and the other course is Wellington beef tenderloin with foie gras mushrooms.

The final dessert is the Funa Extra Chocolate Raspberry Cake.

These dishes can also be eaten in three-star Michelin restaurants, but in Ronan's manor, from ingredients to seasonings, all the best goods on the market, and the raw materials alone cost more than $20,000.

Ronan knew very well that as the company developed on the right track, its income continued to increase, and it was increasingly focused on luxury and enjoyment in life, and it was no longer difficult to look back.

Yachts and private jets also appeared in his life planning for a time.

Of course not now.

As night fell and the sky became completely dark, Ronan took Anne Hathaway to the terrace on the rooftop garden, and enjoyed a private moment under the catalysis of a bottle of red wine.

Then, Ronan found that he had forgotten one thing and did not customize Selena Kyle's professional equipment.

Fortunately, there is still time in the future. Anne Hathaway, who is in her early twenties, is a beautiful and charming time.

Her skin as white as snow, her graceful figure, and delicate facial features and elegant smile were enough to attract Ronan for a long time.

After the New Year, Ronan quickly handled the work at hand. The first investment of the island country's long-term credit bank and the three major entertainment companies in South Korea was entered into the account of the Pacific Film Foundation, and immediately transferred the corresponding amount to the accounts of the three crews "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Summer of Jeans".

After reading the plan for "Dungeon Siege" submitted by Uvi Ball, Ronan also approved the game adaptation project, with the expected production cost of $10 million, and quickly contacted the game studio to discuss copyright licensing issues.

In addition, he also asked people from the company's production department to contact Jason Statham to see if Jason Statham could be invited to play the leading role.

After handling these tasks, Ronan left Los Angeles and headed to San Francisco to handle some of the businesses related to Netflix.
