Chapter 535: Playing the Emotional Card

In the Chelsea district of London, the front of a hotel was brightly lit, and a long red carpet was spread to the side of the road to welcome the guests who came to the banquet.

Tom Hanks sat in the car, waiting patiently for the car to drive to the hotel.

"Are you sure Ronan Anderson will come to the dinner?" Tom Hanks asked the assistant on the co-pilot: "No mistake?"

The assistant said with certainty: "I have asked someone specifically. Ronan Anderson came to London this time because he received an invitation from William. It is estimated that the negotiation with Judy Kramer was just incidental." He paused for a while. , specifically explained: "Relativity Entertainment's copyright matters have always been in charge of Robert Lee, and Ronan Anderson has basically never personally discussed the adaptation copyright with anyone in recent years."

Tom Hanks frowned slightly: "The name Robert Lee is somewhat familiar."

The assistant continued: "Some time ago, Robert Lee once represented Relativity Entertainment Group to compete with us for the film copyright of "The Da Vinci Code", but we were one step ahead..."

Tom Hanks remembered and shook his head: "They're ahead of us this time."

When he came to London, England this time, Tom Hanks also received an invitation from the British royal family and wanted to win the film copyright of "Mamma Mia" by the way.

Some time ago, Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson saw the "Mamma Mia" stage play on Broadway. She had a good impression of the play and watched it three times in a week. Rita Wilson Not only the audience, but also the producer and one of the heads of Tom Hanks' company, Preton Pictures, also had a strong desire to adapt "Mamma Mia" into a movie.

Before Tom Hanks came to London, Rita Wilson repeatedly urged him to win the film adaptation rights.

As one of Hollywood's model husbands today, Tom Hanks wants to fulfill his wife's wishes because he knows the great satisfaction that comes from combining work with personal passion.

If not, Tom Hanks would have simply given up on the copyright he got from Judy Kramer yesterday in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

After getting out of the car, he walked through the long red carpet and entered the banquet hall of the hotel. Tom Hanks greeted the guests with Charles, and quickly found where Ronan was, and found that Ronan was chatting with William. It's good to go straight there.

Ronan asked William: "When will you go to Los Angeles? I will arrange it then."

William stroked his bald hair and said, "It's very troublesome for me to go out. When it's convenient, I will definitely visit Los Angeles."

"I saw a piece of news about you in the newspaper yesterday." Ronan lowered his voice slightly: "The media said that you may be the chairman of the FA next year?"

William smiled and said, "I have accepted the offer and will take up the position early next year. However, although this position is very powerful, it is more of a symbolic honorary position for me to hold it."

Ronan said, "This is a great position, I wish you success."

William replied politely: "Thank you."

Ronan asked again: "Just now I met the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. It is said that he has bought the Chelsea club. Are the Premier League clubs not so repulsive to foreign capital?"

"As long as it is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of the Premier League, we welcome all of them." William has not yet taken office, and he already has the demeanor of the head of the FA: "Britain is an open and free country, and the football world is no exception."

Ronan smiled and said: "I have been paying attention to the Premier League. The league is indeed becoming more and more open and free, and the level of the entire league is also improving rapidly."

Nowadays, many people also refer to the Premier League as the British rough.

William is younger than Ronan, and his thoughts are not simple. He immediately heard something and asked, "Ronan, do you intend to invest in the Premier League?"

"I like football very much, I like the Premier League." Ronan said vaguely: "If I have the chance, I also hope to be like Roman Abramovich,

Own a Premier League club and directly participate in the future unlimited Premier League. "

"I welcome it personally," William said with a smile.

The two chatted about football for a while, and Ronan saw someone coming to ask William to climb, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and left here.

Later, he met Roman Abramovich, a rich Russian, and had a brief chat for a while.

The British and the British media have fully demonstrated the arrogance and arrogance left by the empire on which the sun never sets in their treatment of the Russian rich man. All kinds of words such as nouveau riche and scumbags are constantly thrown at Roman Abra Movic head,.

Perhaps, this has become the last resort for the British to maintain the dignity of the empire.

When the Portuguese came to the UK, he was a country bumpkin; when Russia entered London, he was called an upstart; perhaps in the future, when he, a Hollywood movie boss, participated in the Premier League game, he would be called various scornful names by the arrogant British.

Well, even the British don't look down on the British media, let alone people from other countries.

It is estimated that if Superman really came to London, the British media would also call him "the cosmic bastard" or something.

In the future world, there will be three big stinks - the big feet of the Eastern National Football Team, the accusations of Baizuo Mitu, and the bad mouth of the British media.

English football loves geniuses, of course the geniuses in the mouth of the British media.

After chatting with Roman Abramovich, the banquet officially kicked off. First, Charles gave a speech, then the chairman of the Royal Charity Foundation raised donations, and then the guests gave generously.

Although the British royal family is more of a symbol, it has a huge influence and a big enough face.

Those who came to the dinner gave generously, and Ronan also donated 500,000 pounds, and filled in William's name behind the fundraising contact.

Face is given to each other. The British royal family has a huge influence in Europe, and there may be contact at some point.

At the end of the fundraising session, a fat middle-aged uncle suddenly appeared in front of Ronan.

This man has a head of thick curly hair, a broad forehead and plump cheeks, with a natural innocence. The sensual nose, like an upside-down exclamation point, is Tom Hanks.

"Hello, Tom." Ronan shook hands with him: "I didn't expect to see you here."

He knew that Tom Hanks didn't like him, so he just greeted him politely.

Tom Hanks smiled, with a simple and honest face, and said, "Good evening, Ronan. I didn't expect to meet you in Chelsea."

Of course Ronan knew why he appeared here, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have also received the invitation."

Tom Hanks shrugged, and said with a little helplessness: "Every year, I receive many similar invitations, some of which are like this time, and I can't push them."

Soliciting donations from celebrities and rich people is not only in the East, but also in the West.

"Same." Ronan spread his hands: "So no matter how busy you are at work, you have to come to London."

Tom Hanks deliberately asked: "You came to London, not just to attend the royal family's charity dinner?"

Ronan frowned slightly, what do you mean by that?

Tom Hanks is very gentle and has never been aggressive. He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to discuss something with you."

In some ways, Tom Hanks is a good husband today, willing to negotiate with someone he doesn't like for Rita Wilson.

Ronan is also a smart person, guessing from the previous words, could it be related to Judy Kramer and "Mamma Mia"?

After all, Tom Hanks also has a film company, and it's not uncommon for him to take a fancy to copyright.

Sure enough, Tom Hanks said: "I met Ms. Judy Kramer yesterday afternoon, and I wanted to talk to her about the film copyright of "Mamma Mia". It's already in the hands of your Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan said calmly: "That's right, the formal agreement we signed yesterday morning." He couldn't spit out the meat he ate, and simply said: "I am very optimistic about the prospects of this project, so I decided to buy the movie Preparations for the copyright will probably start early next year."

These words are almost telling Tom Hanks that the copyright will soon become a movie in my hands, and there is no possibility of retransfer.

Tom Hanks has a gentle personality, but he is very smart. He immediately understood Ronan's meaning. If it was normal, he would have given up here, but for his wife's wish, he still wanted to fight for it.

"It seems I'm a step too late." Tom Hanks showed a simple and honest smile: "Ronan, my wife likes the "Mamma Mia" stage play very much. A wife's wish?"

He said very sincerely: "Can you transfer the copyright to my Pratton Pictures? Of course, the price is easy to negotiate."

What he said was sincere, it was profitable, and he played the emotional card, plus Tom Hanks' personality charm, if it were an ordinary person, he might respond directly.

Who is Ronan, how could he accept such a thing? What's more, when talking about "The Da Vinci Code" last time, Tom Hanks rejected him without hesitation.

"Actually, such a project doesn't matter to me personally." Ronan didn't bluntly refuse. Since Tom Hanks played the emotional card, he would also play the emotional card: "But I can only say that I am very sorry. "Mom "Mia Mia" is my friend's favorite play for many years, she will be eighteen soon, "Mamma Mia" is my coming-of-age gift to her."

Tom Hanks blocked all the remaining words that he was about to play the emotional card, and he could only change his words when he came to his mouth: "Your friend is an actor?"

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, she will be eighteen soon. At this special age, she should enjoy the best gift."

Tom Hanks pondered for a moment, then said: "Ronan, we can cooperate on this project, Preton Pictures and Sandsea Entertainment."
