Chapter 652: Time Warner's Invitation

In the VIP room of the theater, Ronan had just chatted with Christopher Nolan when Zack Snyder approached him. Facing such a high-end premiere, this British director who has not yet released any films seemed a little bit cautious.

After all, it is always embarrassing to be unrecognized and ignored.

Zach Schneider and Christopher Nolan were introduced, and the latter said to Ronan: "Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are training with the magician, and I chose Miss Scarlett Johansson as the heroine... ..."

In terms of interpersonal communication, Christopher Nolan is also good: "No later than the end of October, "The Prestige" can start filming."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I have confidence in you."

Zach Schneider watched Ronan and Christopher Nolan chatting, but couldn't get in, feeling a little helpless.

There is no way, it is really difficult for an unknown little person to speak in front of a big person.

After Ronan finished the conversation with Nolan, he somewhat saw Zach Schneider's embarrassment, and said to him, "Go, Zack, I'll take you to find an old friend."

Walking through the crowd, countless people greeted Ronan enthusiastically.

For most of them, Ronan just smiled and nodded.

Zach Schneider has a more intuitive understanding of Ronan's status and influence in the Hollywood industry.

"Hi, Ronan."

Before getting close, Charles Rowan came over to say hello to Ronan, and then shook hands with Zach Schneider, making no secret of his appreciation: "Zach, welcome to the premiere."

Zach Schneider quickly smiled and said: "The premiere opened my eyes."

Ronan said at this time: "Charles, Zach doesn't quite adapt to the environment here, I still have something to do..."

Charles Rowan hurriedly answered: "Ronan, hand over Zach."

Ronan nodded, and said to Zach Schneider: "Call me if you have anything to do."

It would be appropriate for Zach Snyder to get closer to Charles Rowan.

Charles Rowan is a producer representing Warner Bros. and DC Comics on Nolan's Batman Begins,

If nothing else, Charles Rowan will definitely continue to play this role for the next two Batman movies.

Originally Charles Rowan was the best and most famous producer of Warner Bros., coupled with the effect of the new "Batman" movie, in the future Charles Rowan must be Warner Bros. and DC Comics to open up the "Justice League Universe" "'s preferred producer.

Not far away, two people were watching Ronan's side.

Kevin Tsuhara signaled Ronan with his eyes: "Stephen, this is Ronan Anderson."

The middle-aged man named Stephen looked over there with interest: "Younger than the pictures in the media newspapers."

"Young, but powerful." Kevin Tsuhara, as the head of Warner Bros.'s film business, seems to be deeply touched: ""The Time to War" has been screened four times and won unanimous praise. $15 million is almost a declaration of commercial success for the film, and Batman is about to be resurrected. But this time, Ronan Anderson is the key."

Stephen smiled: "I've heard of it too. Director Christopher Nolan was strongly recommended by Ronan Anderson, and he also strongly promoted the choice of the plot to borrow "The Dark Knight Returns". It is said that Warner Bros. did not restart the Batman movie at that time. Go ahead, Ronan Anderson convinced you."

Kevin Tsuhara still has the characteristics of an islander in his body. He is not embarrassed at all, but admires him: "Without Ronan Anderson, there would be no resurrection of Batman on the big screen."

His voice changed suddenly: "Unfortunately, Ronan Anderson is now the master of Marvel."

Stephen said: "It's not a bad thing."

Kevin Tsuhara was puzzled at first, then came to his senses, and tried to ask: "Is there any consideration from the head office?"

Stephen didn't answer, and pointed over there: "Help me introduce Ronan Anderson."

The two soon came to Ronan.

"Stephen, this is Ronan Anderson, the ace producer of Hollywood." Kevin Tsuhara quickly introduced the two sides: "Ronan, this is Stephen Case, the CEO of Time Warner."

Although it was a little strange for the CEO of Time Warner Group to appear in front of him, Ronan still shook hands with Stephen Case politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Stephen Case said with a smile: "Me too." His voice changed: "Mr. Anderson brought a masterpiece to Warner."

Ronan said: "You're welcome, Relativity Entertainment accounted for more than half of the investment in this project."

Kevin Tsuhara glanced at Ronan curiously, and then looked at Stephen Case with a little doubt, not understanding why Stephen Case was secretly targeting Ronan.

Stephen Case's words obviously regarded Ronan as a producer hired and subordinated by Warner, while Ronan's words emphasized that the two parties are investment cooperation.

"I heard that Mr. Anderson is preparing for a Marvel superhero movie?" Stephen Case asked.

Ronan's voice was relaxed: "Iron Man, try to see the effect."

Stephen Case further asked: "Are you very optimistic about the market prospects of these Marvel superheroes?"

Ronan was a little helpless: "I also think that what is being prepared is the first-line superheroes of Marvel, such as "Spider-Man" or "Fantastic Four", but there is no copyright."

"I have a better suggestion, maybe Mr. Anderson can consider it." Stephen Case's words are very jumpy: "Warner Bros. has more experience in the production and distribution of comic superhero movies, and Mr. Anderson can have more in-depth communication with Warner Bros."

Ronan became vigilant in an instant, but his face remained calm, and he said, "Oh? Can Mr. Keith explain it carefully?"

Stephen Case said relaxed and freehand: "The current CEO contract of Warner Bros. is about to expire, and Time Warner will not renew his contract. I wonder if you are interested in the position of CEO of Warner Bros., Mr. Anderson?"

These words were completely beyond Ronan's expectations, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Kevin Tsuhara was almost stunned, because he has always wanted to compete for the position of the next Warner Bros. CEO.

Stephen Case continued: "Mr. Anderson, you become the CEO of Warner Bros. Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment are a family, and all resources can be shared."

Ronan has already understood that this seemingly special opinion, in the final analysis, is still Time Warner's desire to swallow Relativity Entertainment.

"I think this opinion is good." Ronan said directly: "Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment will merge into one, and I want an absolute controlling stake."

Stephen Case asked rhetorically: "Mr. Anderson thinks Relativity entertainment is worth more than Warner Bros.?"

How thick-skinned Ronan is: "In my heart, that's exactly the case."

"I think..." Stephen Case pointedly: "The value of Relativity Entertainment is less than one-third of Warner Bros."

Ronan spread his hands slightly: "There are too many differences, it seems that I can't be the CEO of Warner Bros."

Hearing this, Kevin Tsuhara interjected at the right time: "Ronan, you are doing well now, and I think it suits you best."

Ronan laughed twice and said, "It makes sense." He didn't want to play this kind of probing game with Stephen Case again: "Kevin, Mr. Case, there is another director waiting for me, so I will leave first."

"You're welcome." Kevin Tsuhara wished Ronan would leave quickly.

Ronan called Zach Schneider and they entered the theater together.

Sitting in a chair, thinking of Stephen Case's words, Ronan shook his head slightly. More and more people and companies are paying attention to Relativity Entertainment.

Perhaps, in the eyes of a media giant like Time Warner, Relativity Entertainment is an extremely delicious cake, which one can't wait to swallow.

Fortunately, Relativity Entertainment is not listed, and there will be no financial difficulties for the time being.

Otherwise, no matter whether it goes public or raises funds through other channels, it will inevitably bring a lot of troubles, and Relativity Entertainment will change its owner if it fails.

The Pacific Investment Foundation can still find investment from overseas and guarantee the production budget. Every blockbuster film can be called a cash cow, bringing abundant liquidity and reserve funds to Relativity Entertainment.

Maybe when Netflix goes public, it can distract some companies and find new partners for Relativity Entertainment through financing.

Ronan's attitude towards Netflix is ​​very clear, just like Steve Jobs currently controls the listed Pixar studio, he has a controlling stake in Netflix.

Even if Pixar Studios goes public, Steve Jobs has always personally held close to 51% of Pixar's shares.

"The movie is about to start."

I don't know who said this, and then the whole theater fell silent.

The titles of Warner Bros. are lit up first, followed by the titles of Shahai Entertainment. These two titles are both in a strange blue-black color, representing the darker style of the whole film.

The first part of the series will inevitably need to reshape the image of Bruce Wayne, determine the overall style of the film, and there is enough information revealed in the prior publicity, "The Time to War" tells how and why Bruce Wayne became The process of Batman.

Batman was not born to be Batman, nor did he take the initiative to become Batman. This is a painful and even darkening process. Bruce Wayne's soul even experienced a washing in the process.

Fear is undoubtedly the most important theme that the film begins to show.

From the beginning of the film, the childhood Bruce Wayne fell to the bottom of the well and was attacked by a group of bats. Fear, this human instinct, was aroused throughout the film.

In part, this fear indirectly killed his parents.

The hatred for the murderer, the anger in the heart, the degeneration of the city, the confusion about the future, the hatred for the crime...

If a person wants to be strong, he needs not only a strong body, but also a strong heart.
