Chapter 880: I Want to Change Hollywood
As Stallone left with his daughters, David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh came over to have a drink with Ronan.
Ryan Cavanaugh asked: "Ronan, thank you for authorizing Maple Leaf Pictures."
Ronan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Ryan, from a broad perspective, our position is the same. Only a strong enough force can break through the blockade of Hollywood's traditional forces."
"That's right." David Ellison answered, "The Big Six think they are Hollywood!"
Ryan Cavano said: "Maple Leaf Films has also discussed cooperation with the six major companies before, but they all refused."
David Ellison added: "It's not a complete rejection. They are willing to accept Maple Leaf Films' investment in a certain film project. This seems to be very good, but Kevin Spacey reminded us more than once. Participating in film projects operated by the six major companies may lose everything."
Ronan said honestly: "This possibility is very high." He seemed particularly honest and reliable: "Hollywood has a set of industry default accounting calculation rules. Within this accounting calculation rule, a movie has no profit at all. Can you Imagine, movies like Saving Private Ryan losing money in the books."
Ryan Cavanaugh said: "Fortunately, Maple Leaf Pictures has Kevin Spacey and Ronan, a reputable partner like you."
Ronan sighed, and said, "I also came from this step, and the hardships involved are hard to describe."
"Thank you for your reminder." David Ellison felt that Ronan's ability to say so much was probably because of his alumni's face: "There are not many people in Hollywood who are willing to face us with such a candid attitude. These newcomers."
Ronan smiled: "You are too polite, David. We are our own people."
Ryan Cavanaugh has a somewhat favorable impression of those who have proven to be more friendly to Maple Leaf Films through practical actions, and the other party is well-known, and the company he founded is indeed facing the targeting and suppression of major Hollywood companies.
It is absolutely impossible to be one of your own, but you can listen to the other party's opinion on some things.
Ryan Cavanaugh said with a smile: "Ronan, you have worked hard in Hollywood for many years and have a deeper understanding of this circle and industry than we do. What do you think of our current situation?"
As a new entrant, in Ryan Kavanaugh's words,
Firmly tied Maple Leaf Pictures and Relativity Entertainment together.
"It's not an opinion, it's just some experience based on actual experience." Ronan seemed to recall the difficulties in the past, and his face was a little heavy: "The Theory of Relativity Entertainment has been a little famous since it was dormant, and it has encountered many difficulties during the period. The most difficult It still comes from those six families."
David Ellison and Ryan Kavanaugh nodded slightly. Although they have not been in Hollywood for a long time, they have personal feelings in this regard.
Ronan continued: "Hollywood's upper class doesn't want new companies to emerge alongside them, and through MPAA and the distribution chain, they firmly hold the right to speak in the industry and are Hollywood's rule-makers. "
"What about us?" He smiled, a bit bitterly: "We are at a relatively lower position in the industry chain, and we can only operate within the rules they set."
Ryan Kavanaugh took up the conversation: "So, if we want to protect our interests, we must be one of the rule makers as much as possible?"
Ronan's words have always hidden an imperceptible guidance, and this guidance is deeply hidden behind the fact: "This has always been the direction of Relativity's entertainment efforts."
David - Ellison said: "The existing pattern in Hollywood is difficult to break."
Ronan shrugged slightly: "It doesn't have to be broken, Relativity Entertainment can become a member of the Big Six."
Ryan Kavanaugh's eyes lit up: "You mean the acquisition of one of the Big Six."
"I've never said that before." Ronan specially told him very solemnly: "Both of you, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense."
Ryan Kavanaugh said quickly: "I understand, I understand."
After all, David Ellison was young, so he couldn't help but said: "We have funds in our hands, but what we lack are opportunities. Weren't the people who control the Big Six in Hollywood before?"
Ryan Kavanaugh nodded slowly, and instantly thought of Viacom, News Corporation, NBC Media, Sony Entertainment and so on.
Ronan said intentionally or unintentionally: "Hollywood is no longer what it used to be. Traditional film companies have been acquired by large foreign groups since the 1970s and 1980s. Only Disney is the only one that has not been controlled by large groups."
This is the basic fact. When Ryan Cavanaugh and David Ellison heard Ronan's words, they immediately thought about Disney.
Compared with other film companies, it seems that Disney is a relatively simple company among the six.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ryan Cavano deliberately lowered his voice, and said quietly: "Ronan, let me ask you a question, which company is Relativity Entertainment targeting?"
Ronan smiled and said, "There is no target yet."
"We are partners." Ryan Cavano put on a posture of his own: "Still keeping it secret from us?"
He said very generously: "In the future, Relativity Entertainment will have financial needs. Feel free to ask Maple Leaf Pictures, and we will fully support it."
Ronan nodded: "Thank you, if necessary, I will find you."
This kind of seemingly bold nonsense, just listen to it, if you believe it, you will definitely vomit blood in the future.
Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison exchanged glances without a trace, and the two chatted enthusiastically with Ronan again.
After the reception was over, Ronan bid farewell and left.
After seeing off all the guests, Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison got into the same car.
Ryan Kavanaugh asked David Ellison: "Ronan Anderson is still wary of us and won't reveal details."
David Ellison agreed: "Entertaining the current situation with the theory of relativity, if you don't advance or retreat, they must be eyeing one of the six major companies." He changed his voice: "But in general, Ronan- Anderson was kinder to us."
"Relativity Entertainment just needs allies." Ryan Cavano felt that he had seen the truth at a glance: "Don't forget, we have money."
This is his and David Ellison's greatest capital and self-confidence.
Although he was rejected by Hollywood's traditional forces, Ryan Kavanaugh believes that even if he spends money, he can find a way out.
He still doesn't believe it, people in Hollywood are not greedy for Maple Leaf Pictures' money!
David Ellison said: "Yes, we have money! Ryan, don't you think Relativity's approach to entertainment is also suitable for Maple Leaf Pictures?"
Ryan Kavanaugh said: "You mean buying one of the Big Six?"
"That's right." David Ellison said slowly: "As long as I have the opportunity, I am sure to persuade my father to invest more funds. You can also raise money from Wall Street again?"
Ryan Kavanaugh said: "Such an opportunity is rare." He seemed to have realized: "Even for us, it is very difficult to swallow the six major companies in one bite, but we can do it step by step."
David Ellison suddenly thought of something: "I heard Harvey Weinstein say that Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment bought his Disney shares."
Ryan Kavanaugh suddenly realized: "No wonder Ronan Anderson casually mentioned Walt Disney."
The two looked at each other, and they both thought about the current situation of Walt Disney. At the same time, they thought that the target of Theory of Relativity Entertainment was Walt Disney!
David Ellison took a deep breath and said, "Do we have a chance too."
Ryan Kavanaugh: "Keep an eye on Ronan Anderson."
David Ellison instantly threw out the relationship between alumni and the like: "If the goal of Relativity Entertainment is Disney, this may also be an opportunity for us."
Ryan Cavano thinks more: "If Relativity Entertainment seeks Disney, it will inevitably acquire Disney's stock, which will cause Disney's stock price to skyrocket in a certain period of time. The rest of the shareholders may also sell stocks because of the stock price rise. This may be our opportunity as well.”
David Ellison thought it would work.
"Let's not worry, take it step by step." Ryan Cavano said: "First seek to become a shareholder of Disney, preferably a major shareholder, with a certain right to speak, and then..."
David Ellison was faintly excited: "If our guess is true and the operation is successful, the future... I'm excited just thinking about it, Walt Disney and Relativity Entertainment!"
Ryan Kavanaugh is an actionist, otherwise he would not let hedge funds put all their eggs in one basket on the stock market in 2000: "I am familiar with the stock market and finance, and I will let people stare at Disney's stock price. David, you and Luo Nan Anderson is an alumnus, hang out with him more, understand?"
David Ellison patted his chest: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
The atmosphere in the car instantly heated up, and it seemed that the concealment of entering Hollywood had completely dissipated.
Ryan Kavanaugh seems to have seen the future of Maple Leaf Pictures, with power distributed in film, TV, sports, digital and Internet, etc., with a full ecological industry chain.
These reminded Ryan Kavanaugh of what he said when he raised funds on Wall Street: I want to change Hollywood!
Only 31 years old, proud, attractive, and most importantly, Ryan Kavanaugh has money, a lot of money!
More than 5,000 investors on Wall Street have invested in him.
Even Ronan has to admit that Ryan Kavanaugh is amazing in terms of attracting investment.
The former Ryan Cavanaugh's Relativity Films raised more than 10 billion US dollars from Wall Street within five years!
Despite the fiasco of hedge fund bankruptcy, Ryan Cavano is still confident that he is a complete genius and that entering Hollywood can save the entire film industry.
After David Ellison got off the car, Ryan Kavanaugh smiled: "Only the brave can eat crabs."
