The Embassy Film and Television has gathered more than a dozen viewers in the film room, and the screening of an animated feature film has reached its end.

Shrek and his friends worked together to defeat the fairy godmother and her son Prince Charming, successfully married Princess Fiona, threw down the super light bulb and the big winner of the donkey, and the cat wearing boots with a super killer spoof, and went on a honeymoon together...

The trial will end. Because the number of people in the playroom is limited, there are sparse applause.

"How is it?" Garcia Rodriguez asked Thomas in a low voice: "How is it better than the first one?"

Thomas said the truth: "In my personal feeling, the quality of the film is slightly worse than the first one, but this is a sequel, and the commercial results are probably higher than the first one."

Garcia said slowly, "It's almost the same as what I think."

After saying this, he turned to look behind. Jerever Carsonberg of DreamWorks Animation Studio stood next to Ronan, as if discussing the film.

Jerefer Carsonberg glanced at the person next to Ronan and remembered that he seemed to be the head of the Twentieth Century Fox Animation Studio. I don’t remember what the specific name was. For him, the animation film producer, the other party was just a junior among the younger generations.

He asked with a smile, "Ronan, is this OK?"

Ronan said all the praises: "It's very outstanding. Especially the parody style of famous movies is very interesting. Except for the "Shrek Monster" series, this form has never appeared in previous cartoons. Even in other forms of films, it is absolutely not so concentrated, which makes everyone feel refreshed."

Jerever Carsonberg said proudly: "Dreamworks Animation Studio has found the right style and is on the right path to development."

Ronan also agrees with him: "Dreamworks Animation Studios' animated feature films will become better and better."

Although DreamWorks Animation Studio is not as good as Pixar Studio, and the animation feature films produced are mixed, they have developed quite well overall.

He introduced to Jerefer Carsonberg: "This is Chris Renard, the head of Sandsea Entertainment Animation Studio."

Chris Renard smiled and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Carsonberg."

"Hello." Jerefer Carsonberg and Chris Renard shook hands gently.

He didn't quite understand why this not-famous animation producer could be valued by Ronan?

Embassy Film was originally the most suitable partner of DreamWorks Animation Studio, and Ronan was also his most valued partner. It was not until the establishment of this Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio that he discovered that Ronan might not regard DreamWorks Animation Studio as his primary partner.

Nowadays, Pixar Studios is a well-deserved industry leader in Hollywood. Then there are other companies. If this Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio really develops, it will inevitably become a strong competitor of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

When sitting in your current position, you must consider the company, otherwise it is better to retire and step down.

I hope Spielberg can build a good DreamWorks distribution channel in the next few years.

Although he had a very unpleasant fight with David Geffen and Spielberg at some time before, if the conditions were right, he would not mind returning the distribution rights of DreamWorks Animation Studio to DreamWorks.

No matter what, both belong to the same company.

Jerefer Carsonberg casually exchanged a few greetings with Ronan, then turned to Ronan and said, "The schedule is the second weekend in May, which can be released simultaneously worldwide?"

Ronan is full of confidence: "There is no problem. This is not the first time Embassy Film has released a movie simultaneously around the world. "Monster Shrek 2" will appear in theaters in more than 30 countries and regions on the second weekend in May."

This is a sequel to a super-selling movie. It naturally has a strong fan base and no longer has to wait for the North American box office to explode and it can also effectively avoid the box office losses caused by piracy.

Even in North America, a market with extremely strict copyright management, it is difficult to avoid the emergence of piracy. There are endless streams of ghost-like secret shooters in theaters. Now it is the Internet era. As long as the gun version appears on the Internet, it can spread all over the world at a speed that it could not imagine a few years ago.

Jerefer Carsonberg is confident about the distribution capabilities of Embassy Pictures, but has some questions about the schedule chosen: "The second weekend of May is released, Ronan, is this schedule a little tight?"

Ronan said: "This schedule is pretty good."

"The first weekend was Universal's "Van Helsing" premiered." Jerever Carsonberg was somewhat worried: "The next weekend was Warner Bros.'s super epic blockbuster "Troy". Although the audience of "Shrek Monster 2" is different from these two films, will it be affected by being sandwiched between two top blockbusters?"

The production cost of "Van Helsing" is as high as $160 million, and "Troy" has an exaggerated production budget of $175 million. The production cost of "Shrek Monster 2" is not a little worse than these two films.

Ronan said calmly: "The schedules of summer vacations are very crowded every year, and heavyweight films are released every weekend. The successful video will still be successful, and there will not be too much impact. We can't find a more suitable schedule."

When choosing this schedule, Ronan specifically instructed the Embassy Film Industry to select. Looking at the whole May and June, is there any better schedule than this?

There is a super floppy movie in front, but the one in the back is not much better, even though it is not floppy.

Brad Pitt also proved through "Troy" that his business appeal is really not very strong.

Jerefer Carsonberg thought for a while and said, "Okay, you are an expert in this regard, so I won't give you much advice."

Ronan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jerefer, this sequel should be better than the first one."

"I hope so." Jerefer Carsonberg did not stay for a long time and said, "There is something else in the company. I will say goodbye first and get together again if I have time."

After the trial meeting ended, Ronan briefly asked about the coordination between the Embassy Film and the theater company, and left Embassy Film and Television.

When it is released online, the number of theaters directly determines the box office.

Not only is the second weekend of May, "Shrek 2", which will be released on May 2, but also the Embassy Films will release "Resident Evil 2" in early April, and they all need to win as much as possible from theaters and screens.

Ronan's requirements are very clear. The number of North American theaters for "Shrek 2" must reach about 4,000, and even "Resident Evil 2" must have more than 3,000 theaters for premiere.

Of course, the more theaters the Embassy Film Company can win, the better.

Chris Renard followed Ronan to the Embassy Film Company and joined Ronan's Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Ronan asked, “Can “Despicable Me” be completed this year?”

Chris Renard promised: "The internal preview will definitely be held before the end of the year."

"Dreamworks Animation Studio will not cooperate with Embassy Pictures for too long." Ronan saw it very clearly: "After five years, the cooperation between the two parties may end, so the animation feature film business still depends on us."

Regarding Pixar Studio's plan, he doesn't have to talk to Chris Renardty.

And unlike DreamWorks Animation Studio, if Pixar's sluts continue to cheat, Pixar Studio must retain a certain degree of independence.

Chris Renard said: "I understand that as long as "Despicable Me" goes well, we will take advantage of the situation to launch the animated movie of "Minius".

Ronan nodded, and he also thought about Jerefer Carsonberg and DreamWorks Animation Studios, especially in the past year, Jerefer Carsonberg rarely walked with him, Will Smith and Tom Cruise again. The previous golf quadron gradually turned into an iron triangle.

It is not difficult for him to understand many of these reasons.

This time, taking advantage of Yijiang Film and Television's opportunity to promote the comprehensive cooperation between Embassy Film and DreamWorks Animation Studio in the next five years, which can also be said to be a win-win situation.

Apart from the six major companies, there is no stronger publisher than Relativity Entertainment, and the commission given by Embassy Pictures is much lower than that of the six major companies.

As for Jerefer Carsonberg and the three of them getting farther and farther away, Ronan did not complain or complain. Jerefer Carsonberg represented not only himself, but also the entire DreamWorks Animation Studio, which involved dozens of shareholders and hundreds of employees. Jerefer Carsonberg must be responsible for them.

Business is always complicated, and business competition will not affect personal friendships, so it can only be said that very few are rare.

The mall is like a battlefield, and Jerever Carsonberg obviously made his own choice.

Ronan closed his eyes and thought for a while, saying, "Chris, last year the British children's writer Greytha Cowell published an adventure book."

This was seen on the information collected by Connie. He didn't think much about making it, but this period gradually made him determined: "The book title is "The Little Viking Hero: How to Tame Your Dragon", which roughly tells the story of a Viking boy who became a Viking Warrior by taming his dragon. I think it's very suitable to adapt it into an animated movie, and you can take the time to watch it."

Chris Rainard said: "I'll go buy one after the next time."

Ronan nodded and said, "After reading it, if you think you can, please contact Robert Lee from the head office directly and ask him to come forward to purchase the relevant copyright."

"Okay." Chris Renard responded.
