Chapter 637: Big Shot

In New York, the roads in Brooklyn have been congested since noon on Tuesday.

In the afternoon, after many people in red and blue uniforms took to the streets, the entire Brooklyn was flooded with "spiders", and the flow of people and vehicles was almost impassable.

As the top three most popular superheroes in the United States, Spider-Man is still ranked first in the market. After the first full warm-up, the popularity of its sequel movie can be imagined.

At least at this stage, all superheroes cannot shake Peter Parker on the big screen.

Sitting in the car, Vin Diesel frequently raised his hand to look at his watch. In the crowded traffic, even the best driving skills were impossible to display.

Besides, the driver in the driving seat is a mature and prudent person.

"Has the premiere started yet?" Vin Diesel asked.

The agent replied: "At the beginning, I asked someone to ask. The traffic ahead is being cleared, so we can't be late."

Vin Diesel, who isn't a Spider-Man fan and hasn't been working with Sony Columbia Pictures recently, came here with a different purpose: "Will Ronan Anderson go to the premiere?"

"Yes." The agent said with certainty: "Marvel has delisted and has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment. Spider-Man is Marvel's signature, and Ronan Anderson will definitely go."

He finally added: "Sony Columbia Pictures sent an invitation to Ronan Anderson a month ago. Ronan Anderson came to New York three days ago to attend the premiere of "Spider-Man 2"."

Vin Diesel shook his bald head slightly: "That's good."

"Why don't we contact Ronan Anderson to talk in private?" The agent held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back: "Why are we looking for him at this premiere?"

Vin Diesel didn't answer.

The agent added: "The female producer named Jessica Felton made very excessive conditions. I don't think we need to continue talking with Sand Sea Entertainment or the entire Relativity Entertainment."

"What do you think?" Vin Diesel's voice was slightly sarcasm, as if he could see through the world at a glance: "The female producer is just a small person and can't see the overall situation. This kind of visionless and not big enough Little people are often the hardest to deal with."

There is no such thing as "the king of Hades loves little ghosts and makes trouble with him",

But many people understand similar truths.

The agent knows that Vin Diesel has always been a very big person.

At least Vin Diesel thinks so.

At the next moment, Vin Diesel became very bullish: "The big people should have a direct dialogue with the big people instead of entangled with the small people."

For some reason, the agent suddenly felt that in Vin Diesel's words, he was an insignificant little person.

The agent was still able to adjust the mentality of the server and said, "We are in Los Angeles about Ronan Anderson..."

Vin Diesel shook his finger and interrupted the agent: "We took the initiative to contact Ronan Anderson, did we put ourselves in the position of the weak? Did we meet at the premiere?" He was full of confidence. Man: "I can talk about cooperation with Ronan Anderson on an equal footing."

"That's it." The manager scratched his head, which seemed to make sense, but why did he feel that something was wrong?

Vin Diesel said: "At the premiere, I'm going to talk to Ronan Anderson, and you're in charge of finding him."

The agent didn't think too much, and said, "No problem, I'm still very familiar with the people from Sony Columbia Pictures."

The scale of the premiere of "Spider-Man 2" can be called the largest in Hollywood in 2004. Sony Columbia Pictures has struggled from the late 1980s to the 21st century, and finally produced a blockbuster movie series. Only people at Sony Entertainment can appreciate it.

To put it simply, this is really not easy.

Since the release of the "Spider-Man" movie, Sony Columbia Pictures, a scumbag among the six major companies, has finally lost the last place to other companies such as Paramount Pictures.

Akio Morita, who advocated buying Columbia Pictures from Coca-Cola, was unable to witness this scene with his own eyes.

In 1989, Sony Entertainment acquired Columbia Pictures for nearly US$5 billion, of which US$3.4 billion was used to purchase Columbia’s equity from Coca-Cola, and it assumed Columbia’s US$1.6 billion in incidental debt.

At that time, it caused an uproar across the United States.

In the 1980s, major industries in the United States were defeated by island companies. For example, it is well known that Americans drove island cars one after another. Americans felt a sense of panic and shame about this.

The islanders even bought Columbia Pictures...

You know, Columbia is a symbol of American film and television culture, and even the registered trademark is the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

In this regard, the entire United States exclaimed: Are the islanders planning to seize even American culture?

Ronan read some old newspapers back then. On the cover of "Newsweek", the registered trademark of Columbia Film Corporation, the Statue of Liberty in the United States, was replaced by an island geisha wearing a kimono with a lewd smile on her face.

Some critics even asserted: Sony's acquisition is "a threat more terrifying than the Soviet military power"!

More than ten years have passed, and Sony Columbia Pictures has not become a window for the cultural invasion of the island nation. It is not because the island nation does not want to work hard, but because the island nation film projects promoted have failed disastrously without exception.

For example, the "Final Fantasy" animation feature film, which invested a huge amount of money, hit the street so badly that people couldn't bear to watch it.

In the end, Sony Columbia Pictures eliminated almost all the islanders in the top management, and could only continue to hand over the company to Americans for management.

Of course, there is no doubt about the profitability of Sony Entertainment. "Spider-Man" can enter the global film market at the fastest speed through the entire Sony Entertainment channel.

The interests represented by "Spider-Man" are too great to be ignored by even Ronan.

The management of the newly established Marvel Entertainment drools over the "Spider-Man" movie all day long. It is said that Avi Arad took a nap in the office some time ago and talked in his sleep, shouting: Take back our Spider-Man!

After Ronan came to New York, he met Stan Lee, who was over 80 years old. The old man held his hand tremblingly and told him repeatedly: I may not last for a few years, and I will close my eyes at any time. My biggest wish now is to see my own son Peter Parker return to the embrace of Marvel Entertainment before closing his eyes.

Therefore, in "Spider-Man", Ronan felt that he was not motivated by profit, but to satisfy the wishes of so many people!

Well... that's it, that's right!

I am not alone!

"Welcome to the premiere." Chris hugged Ronan and said jokingly, "Ronan, Spider-Man is your son now."

Ronan took the opportunity and said, "We fathers, let's sit down and talk about our son's future."

Chris laughed and said, "You guy, keep staring at Spider-Man."

Ronan shrugged and asked: "I mentioned to you last time that Marvel and Sony Entertainment have more in-depth cooperation in the development of the "Spider-Man" project."

"I responded to the board of directors." Chris put away his smiling face and said very seriously: "Sony Columbia Pictures has the ability to develop the "Spider-Man" movie alone, because no one wants to share this cake with other companies."

Ronan was not surprised by this answer, saying: "Marvel is not other companies, and no one knows the characters they create better than Marvel."

At present, the "Spider-Man" movie is a big hit. If you want to get the copyright from Sony Columbia Pictures, you may not even have the slightest chance. The best choice is to expand the revenue share on the existing basis.

If you can let Marvel expand its revenue in the "Spider-Man" series without using other means, it's better not to use it.

Chris shrugged and said truthfully, "Ronan, I'm not in charge of this project. I can't speak up, and neither can anyone else." He knew that Ronan was very difficult, and he really didn't want to deal with it, so he simply pointed A middle-aged white man wearing glasses: "Howard Stringer, one of my immediate bosses, the chairman and CEO of Sony Entertainment, is directly responsible for the "Spider-Man" project."

Ronan glanced at it. Since he wanted to grab the proceeds of "Spider-Man" from Sony Entertainment, he naturally did a lot of preparatory work, and quickly remembered the information about Howard Stringer.

Howard Stringer was originally a British citizen. He was naturalized in the United States in the 1980s. He started as a grassroots reporter at CBS and has served as a producer, department executive and CEO. He has won the highest awards in American TV several times. Emmy, who was later transferred to Sony Entertainment, began to take full charge of Sony's film and music entertainment business two thousand years later.

If Ronan remembers correctly, Howard Stringer will become the chairman and CEO of Sony in a few years.

Saying goodbye to Chris, Ronan did not rush to the past. It can be said that it is very difficult to get more benefits from "Spider-Man" from Howard Stringer.

Among other things, the CEO of Sony Entertainment is personally in charge of the "Spider-Man" movie project, which is enough to prove the importance Sony attaches to Spider-Man.

While Ronan was watching Howard Stringer, there was also a pair of eyes quietly watching him in the VIP room of the theater.

Vin Diesel came in late because of the traffic jam, but within a few minutes of arriving, his agent helped find Ronan Anderson, the target of tonight.

Tonight, he will have a chance encounter with Ronan Anderson, it is best to fall in love with each other at first sight.

Seeing Ronan walking towards the left of the VIP room, Vin Diesel made a circle and walked there too.

As a result of this elaborate design, Vin Diesel happened to have a rivalry with Ronan.

Vin Diesel stopped and smiled.

When Ronan saw the once famous Boss Tang, his face was expressionless.
