Chapter 381 Heroes

Leaving the exhibition studio of Huanya Film, Ronan went around another place and took a look at a literary and artistic film in the exhibition area of ​​a Hungarian film company, which made people buy out the North American distribution rights for $30,000.

This movie has no fame, and it can attract Ronan's attention is nothing more than a large scale.

As for art films, if the scale is not large enough, how can we create an artistic atmosphere?

It is at these international film festivals that the audience here can see those large-scale movies in the theater.

In the morning, Ronan basically made a round at the trade fair. Except for asking Connie to notify her subordinates to deal with the follow-up matters, she did not buy any other videos.

At the trade fair, there were author movies and experimental movies. These movies were beneficial to the development of the film industry, but basically had little market value.

Since Yu Jiaolong was about to have a banquet at noon, Luo Nan was about to leave the exhibition center.

Before leaving, he appropriately expressed the friendly attitude of international friends.

"Student." Ronan seemed very sincere and said in Chinese: "Thank you for your help in the morning."

"You're welcome." Wan Qian smiled politely.

Especially the name of Ronan made Wan Qian secretly like it. This person not only speaks Chinese, but also seems to know the situation here.

Some foreigners I met before always like to call them ladies in awkward Chinese. Although the person who said it has no other ideas, it always makes it a little awkward when it comes to hearing it.

Wan Qian didn't know when it started, but the lady was no longer a respectful title, but became a slander.

Ronan waved at Connie, and Connie immediately sent a red envelope as big as a palm.

"This is a little gift." Ronan took the envelope and handed it to Wan Qian: "It's not a valuable thing, it's a few postcards, which are the scenery and characters in some movies that relativity entertain the relativity."

Hearing this, Wan Qian took it off and smiled politely again and said, "Thank you."

Luo Nan took the initiative to reach out and shook her: "You're welcome, I will stay in Shanghai for a while, and I hope I can meet my classmates."

Wanqian smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Ronan made a phone call gesture: "Does classmate have a cell phone? I may come back tomorrow, and I will contact you later."

Wan Qian hesitated for a while, but after getting along for the whole morning, she thought Luo Nan was a good person, very polite, and respectful person, not like those nouveau riche at all.

"Yes." Wan Qian whispered.

Ronan said to Connie: "You can leave your classmates' contact information."

Connie immediately took out her cell phone and started colluding with Wan Qian in English.

Ronan nodded to Wan Qian and left the place with his bodyguards first. Wanqian looked at Ronan's back and left his mobile phone number to Connie.

At noon, Yu Jiaolong invited all the staff from Relativity Entertainment, including Ronan, to accompany him as a formal luncheon. There were only executives of Yu Jiaolong's agency, and no other stars.

When they get along with each other, Ronan can understand Yu Jiaolong's idea. Among the actors in the East, Yu Jiaolong is most familiar with him. Even the great director who praised her would need to communicate through Yu Jiaolong if he wanted to contact him.

At this time, let’s bring friends to accompany you. Isn’t it a way to help others?

Luo Nan and Yu Jiaolong had no conflict of interest, and both sides were familiar with each other. This luncheon was a joy to the host and guests.

In the afternoon, two groups of people from Embassy Film Group found Hungarian companies with Huanya Film Group to discuss matters such as film introduction and copyright.

Since Ronan had roughly agreed with the other party, the subsequent negotiations went smoothly and the speed was very fast.

That $30,000 art movie is just a small deal and nothing.

On the other hand, Embassy Pictures exchanged 20 old films such as the zombie series selected by Ronan for $500,000, as well as the North American copyright and adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs".

The Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is more valuable than nothing in North America. It will be thrown into the cinema for a few days. No company will invest too much resources in such films. The more you invest, the more you will lose.

This has nothing to do with whether the movie is good or not, whether it is exciting or not. This is an inevitable result of the differences between culture and market.

Therefore, the greatest value of this film to relativity entertainment is still in remake.

Remake it into a gangster film suitable for North American and Western markets.

Speaking of gangster movies, this is Martin Scorsese's specialty.

Although China Asia Film Corporation did not pay attention to the copyright of this remake, it also made restrictions. From the time of the agreement transaction, Relativity Entertainment will not be allowed to shoot this film within the next two years to avoid adverse effects on the Hong Kong version.

Ronan had enough patience and naturally responded.

Ronan was very satisfied to get the relevant copyright before "Infernal Affairs" became popular.

Because of Leonardo's relationship, as well as the complete victory of "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" at the Oscars and the completely different evaluations of the East and the West, Ronan has seen a lot of news about "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" in his previous life. The copyright of the remake that Warner Bros. won after the popularity of "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" seems to be around 1.7 million US dollars.

Luo Nan went to the trade fair again, contacted the classmate Wan, and took a walk around the trade fair, but ended up finding nothing.

Apart from that "Hero", Ronan is not ready to take action again.

In the past two days, news has been heard from the Embassy Films branch here. Although "Hero" has not been completed, the producers are preparing to hold a small trial meeting during the film festival, which is the so-called gathering invited by Director Zhang.

The people invited were not only Embassy Pictures and Miramax, but also Europa Pictures in France, and film distribution companies in the UK and Canada.

Relativity Entertainment did not have any videos participating in the competition unit, and Ronan was not interested in the competition unit. He participated in an event by the organizer, and the director Zhang and Zhang Baimao who were exposed to wanted to win the movie first in private.

But the other party found several issuing companies at the same time, and of course they would not sell them privately at a low price, and there was no effect in contacting them.

Before the end of the film festival, in the small theater near Shanghai International Cinema, Ronan met Zhang Baimao and Zhang Guoshi.

Yu Jiaolong waited early at the entrance of the theater. After seeing Luo Nan and his group, he immediately responded and greeted warmly.

"Lonan, go here." Yu Jiaolong led the way like an old friend.

"Thank you." She was polite, and Ronan was also very proud of her.

Follow Yu Jiaolong into the theater, right at the entrance of the hall, an old farmer-like face and a middle-aged man wearing a white hat were greeting the guests.

The two of them were communicating with a group of Westerners with the help of the translator.

As the distance approached, Ronan could hear that these people were speaking French, and he couldn't understand what they were saying.

In French, it should be France's Europa Films, which is Luc Besson's company.

Of course, the person who came was not Luc Besson.

"Welcome!" Zhang Baimao came first: "It is a great honor for Mr. Anderson to come."

Ronan shook hands with him with a smile.

Yu Jiaolong came over with the advantage, and specifically introduced: "Mr. Zhang, Director Zhang, this is Mr. Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment."

Luo Nan shook hands with Master Zhang again.

Master Zhang looked at Yu Jiaolong intently. He held the other party in one hand. How could he not see those little thoughts?

This is saying to him in disguise: Look, I have someone in Hollywood, it’s not that I have to make your movie.

Master Zhang knew very well that Yu Jiaolong had emotions about him.

Yu Jiaolong is no longer the thriving little girl back then. After expressing her emotions appropriately, she retreated aside.

Although the movie was fooled by Master Zhang and the heroine who had agreed to become a little girl, in this situation in China, there is no more suitable director for Master Zhang.

Ronan didn't see these things, and he didn't care even if he saw them. Hollywood was just about business.

Just like when he attended the Golden Gogh Film Forum these two days, he did not say much in other words except for expressing friendly scenes, especially the so-called Hollywood and the system issues mentioned by Director Feng Da and Director Jiang, who didn't even answer the words.

Because there is no need for this.

Could it be that he, a Hollywood man, would complain about this? That's purely asking for trouble.

"You two, there is no need to be such trouble." Ronan was like a real Westerner: "Just sell the video to Relativity Entertainment."

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson wait, the copyright transaction of the video will begin soon."

Zhang Baimao said: "I can't let down their kindness by so many friends from all over the world."

After investing so much money and so much resources, you must maximize your profits. You can't just say you want to buy it, but I want to sell it to you, right?

Ronan pretended not to hear it, and went straight into the theater and soon saw Harvey Weinstein's figure.

The two of them didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded from the air.

The film screening began soon, and the film was indeed not fully completed, but it did not affect the theme and overall viewing.

This film is a simple commodity for Ronan, but it is a milestone for the film industry here.

Starting with "Hero", the film industry here has truly entered the commercial era.

Moreover, the film also confirmed the future commercial film style of Mr. Zhang.

The stars are gathered, the scenes are grand, the pictures are exquisite, and the martial arts design is freehand, combining the violent aesthetic styles of traditional artistic conception in action movies.

In the grand scene, Mr. Zhang made his good use of colors vividly and exquisitely, giving the film an epic and artistic conception like a Kurosawa-style blockbuster. In terms of action design and narrative techniques, this film is also perfect.

The colors and pictures of this film are very beautiful, and they can even make people fascinate.

When Ronan saw this film again, some ideas emerged uncontrollably. With the preparation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in front, "Hero" continues to play magic or science fiction cards among traditional North American audiences, it should still work.
Chapter completed!
