Unlike Ronan, Tom Hanks accompanied his wife Rita Wilson to watch the stage play of "Mama Mia" carefully and knows the plot and characters in it very well. When Ronan talks about the female friend's age at about 18, he immediately guessed that this was going to let her play the role of Sophie.

As a good man in Hollywood, Tom Hanks did not give up easily and made a tentative suggestion: "Ronan, the investment in singing and dancing movies is not low. Preton Pictures can share the investment and risks with Shahai Entertainment. My wife Rita Wilson is the producer, and your friend is the heroine, which does not conflict."

Tom Hanks was polite and it was hard to make people disgusted. Even if he was not interested in his suggestions, Ronan still said very politely: "Thank you. But Tom, Shahai Entertainment has the ability to complete such works independently."

Hearing Ronan say this, Tom Hanks frowned slightly and finally said directly: "Ronan, we can discuss what you have to ask for."

From the perspective of producers and movie fans, Ronan likes and even admires Tom Hanks very much, but from the perspective of businessmen, business is business and must not be mixed with the feelings of movie fans.

Since Tom Hanks said that, there is no need to be polite. Ronan said slowly: "Cooperation is mutual, and it is about win-win."

Tom Hanks nodded slowly: "That's right."

Ronan smiled: "So, Tom. I am very optimistic about the commercial prospects of "Mamma Mia". This is very likely to be another musical and dance film "Chicago", and even more successful than "Chicago".

This is of course infinitely increasing the commercial value of "Mamma Mia": "Now, you propose that Preton cooperate with Shahai Entertainment to participate in the investment in "Mamma Mia" is equivalent to sharing the future benefits of the project."

Tom Hanks' honest smile had already been closed: "No one can guarantee that a movie will succeed before it is filmed."

"But this project works in my hands, and the success may be far more than failure," Ronan said.

If someone else said this, Tom Hanks would spit his saliva on his face and brag if he didn't pay taxes?

But the person opposite is called Ronan Anderson. In the past four or five years, he has been the producer with the highest success rate in Hollywood. He can be compared with Jerry Brookheimer. Even the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" not only created the miracle of Pirates movies, but also became a recognized gold medal producer in the circle.

Can such a person not think carefully about saying such confident words?

Tom Hanks no longer plays emotional cards, he can see that Ronan Anderson is now a pure film businessman, not a producer.

"Win-win?" asked Tom Hanks, "How do you want to achieve a win-win?"

Luo Nantu found out: "Some time ago, I also took a fancy to a project, but unfortunately I took action a little later."

Tom Hanks immediately understood what he was saying: "Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code"?"

"Since Ms. Rita Wilson likes Mamma Mia very much, I don't have to win someone's love." Ronan said slowly: "It's better to do this. Relativity Entertainment and Preton Pictures have a deal. We exchange the copyrights of Mamma Mia and Da Vinci Code with each other, and the best of both worlds!"

Tom Hanks looked at Ronan and finally understood why he was so successful at a young age. It was only part of the reason why he had a unique vision for the film project, and it was the key to seeking profit for himself anytime and anywhere!

Greedy, dark-hearted, clear-headed and capable. Is such a person successful accident? No surprise at all!

For "Mama Mia" to exchange "Da Vinci Code", it seems that it is not much different at first glance, but recently, the promotion of "Da Vinci Code" has been making efforts, and sales have increased sharply. According to the analysis of many book market professionals, this movie has the ability to top the best-selling book rankings!

Tom Hanks didn't care about showing off his good manly style and said directly: "I'm not alone in Preton Pictures, and I can't explain to the original author Dan Brown for the second transfer of the copyright of "Da Vinci Code".

Luo Nan shook his head slightly: "Cooperation is about win-win."

"Your request is too much." Tom Hanks finally felt a little unhappy: "Ronan, we are all people who have worked hard in Hollywood for many years. We have exceeded our requirements and suggestions, so don't say it."

Ronan took a step back: "Shahai Entertainment and Preton Pictures cooperated to shoot the two projects "Mamma Mia" and "Da Vinci Code", and the investment income each accounted for half of the investment income. The copyright of "Mamma Mia" belongs to Shahai Entertainment, and the filming and production are responsible by Shahai Entertainment. If Ms. Wilson likes it, she can participate in the production. Similarly, the copyright of "Da Vinci Code" belongs to Preton Pictures, and the filming and production are responsible by Preton Pictures."

This condition sounds OK. Tom Hanks is not as repulsive as before. At least it can make people feel the sincerity of cooperation.

Moreover, Pretong Pictures is not Shahai Entertainment, and its strength is limited. It can only be regarded as a small production company in Hollywood. Introducing Shahai Entertainment as a collaborator can also effectively solve some of the financial pressure.

Many times, when a cooperation is proposed, the other party will be disdainful, but instead change the environment and may reach a possibility of cooperation.

Tom Hanks needs to think carefully and discuss with the partners of Preton Pictures.

But Ronan's conditions did not end there: "There is another point that "Mama Mia" and "Da Vinci Code" will be distributed in North America and overseas by Embassy Pictures, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment."

Only then did Tom Hanks remember that Relativity Entertainment not only can shoot and produce videos, but also has extremely powerful global distribution capabilities.

Ronan also said: "The Embassy Pictures has successfully released more than 20 videos, and the distribution capabilities are unquestionable."

But Tom Hanks quickly calculated in his mind that judging from the commercial revenue capabilities of films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Spy Shadows", the difference between whether it is distributed by Embassy Pictures or handed over to six major companies to publish it.

Preton Pictures has no ability to do the distribution.

Not to mention overseas, even North American distribution cannot be done.

But if it is published by Embassy Pictures, why does it feel that Preton Pictures has been struggling to buy the copyright of the movie from Dan Brown and worked hard to prepare for the filming, but the big part of the income was taken away by Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment?

Tom Hanks can indeed be classified as the "good guys" in the Hollywood circle, but "good guys" does not mean not to compete for fame and fortune, otherwise there would not be Tom Hanks who are today standing here.

This contrast made Tom Hanks feel a little uncomfortable, but if you think about it carefully, the video will be handed over to the six major Hollywood companies to issue, and the distribution fee you should give will not be less than a cent.

"Relativity Entertainment has always been a win-win cooperation." Ronan said calmly: "Tom, you can consider it."

The copyright of "Mama Mia" is in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, and the copyright of "Da Vinci Code" is completely controlled by Preton Pictures. Even if the two parties cannot reach a cooperation agreement, Relativity Entertainment actually has no losses.

Ronan is trying to get more profits as much as possible.

Tom Hanks was unable to make a decision for a while, and would not delay here. He just thought for a while and said, "Ronan, I need to call the partners to discuss. If we decide to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, I will call you."

Ronan smiled: "Yes."

Tom Hanks shook hands with him and then said goodbye and left.

Ronan looked around and soon found a circle where British wealthy people gathered and joined it. William as the introducer successfully entered the upper class in the UK.

He also met several horse racing tycoons, and under William's introduction, he exchanged contact information with them.

One day after the dinner, Ronan called Judy Cramer and first visited the script creator Catherine Johnson, who was also the screenwriter with amazing talent and emotions in Judy Cramer's mouth.

After confirming that this is indeed a talented screenwriter, Ronan invited her to Los Angeles next year to truly participate in the film adaptation of "Mama Mia".

Catherine Johnson is similar to Judy Kramer, and he has no real qualifications to show off in film and television. Catherine Johnson has not signed a name on the screenwriter's column of any film so far.

Such screenwriters can also join the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment in the future. After all, in the future, there will be more and more female film projects initiated by Relativity Entertainment. Some pure female themes have inherent advantages. Ronan cannot suppress all female-themed scripts on Lindsay Bill alone.

And in some ways, only appropriate competition can stimulate creative vitality.

Then, Ronan wanted to visit the famous female director Filida Lloyd, whom Judy Cramer specifically mentioned.

Judy Cramer has not contacted Filida Lloyd for several years and is not sure about her current situation. When we contacted her, we found out that Filida Lloyd was already the director of "Mama Mia".

Filida Lloyd left London last year and headed for Broadway, New York to direct the re-arranged Broadway version of Mama Mia.

This is an accident, but also good news.

Just as many Hollywood directors are from advertising and MV directors, quite a lot of directors are from stage drama directors.

Ronan and Judy Cramer arrived in New York to watch a stage performance of "Mama Mia" directed by Filida Lloyd on Broadway.
