This is an obvious thing.
Orion Pictures is unlikely to return the rights to the "Charlie's Angels" movie adaptation to ABC Network.
"If there is nothing else, please leave immediately, both of you. Orion Films does not welcome anyone who violates the agreement." Ryan saw off the guests directly.
Nothing to talk about at all.
Anyway, according to the original agreement, the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels" already belongs to Orion Films.
It has nothing to do with the ABC network.
Nothing to do with Disney.
"Ryan, I hope you can calm down."
"We can solve it in another way, such as co-investing in filming!" Carter-Eisner put forward a seemingly good suggestion.
"I've made it very clear just now." Ryan still didn't have the slightest intention to talk about it.
Cooperate with Disney to shoot "Charlie's Angels"!
He wouldn't even consider this kind of cooperation.
"Then we can only meet in court." Carter-Eisner shook his head, got up and left with the senior management of the ABC TV network.
Like he said with a glance, that's what Disney meant.
All the films produced by Orion Films have been successful, which proves Ryan Gosling's vision, and also proves that when ABC TV Network sold the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels" to Orion Films, it made a Very bad decision.
In this regard, many Disney executives and shareholders were very annoyed and demanded that the ABC TV network could take back the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels".
Even if it is a long lawsuit for this.
Ryan didn't care.
ABC Network, not Orion Pictures, violated the agreement, and the chances of losing the lawsuit are very low.
The only thing to worry about is not Disney and the lawsuit, but the ABC network.
The visit of Carter-Eisner and the top management of ABC Television Network is undoubtedly that ABC Television Network believes that Orion Pictures has violated its interests.
Next, the ABC network is sure to have some reaction.
In Hollywood, it is rare for a film company to turn against one of the three major North American television networks. Most of the time, they will choose to take a step back and accept Disney's cooperation.
However, Ryan didn't want to give in easily.
Besides, it's Disney.
"You shouldn't just say no to ABC Network."
Jon Fertimer pushed open the door and walked in, with a serious expression on his face, "ABC TV Network is one of the three major commercial broadcasting companies in North America, and it has many promotional channels."
"Even, it can affect the promotion of a movie."
"Jon, I understand your worries." Ryan naturally knew the power of the ABC TV network, "but we can't back down easily either."
"Of course, if Disney can pay enough, I don't mind working with it."
It is not impossible to cooperate with Disney.
The premise is that Disney has to pay enough, and not just because of the ABC network.
"Okay, don't worry about it."
Ryan looked up at Jon Fertimer and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This is the cooperation plan proposed by Warner Bros. at the banquet yesterday." While speaking, Jon Felthammer handed over a script and said, "This is an epic project with a very large investment. Warner Bros. Want to find a film company to share the risk together."
Epic project!
Ryan showed a strange look, took a look at the script, and saw a very familiar name "Alexander the Great".
"This is Moritz-Bermann's project!"
Moritz Berman is a gold medal producer, and he had a good cooperation with Ryan on "Terminator 3".
"Yes." Jon Felthammer nodded, "To be precise, this is a joint project between Moritz Berman and Oliver Stone."
"Last night, I took the time to read the script. It's pretty good and has certain commercial value."
"It's just that the entire project budget is as high as $155 million."
Hearing this, Ryan almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, "Are you sure it's 155 million dollars?"
Spend $155 million to shoot an epic film that is not "Lord of the Rings"!
"Yes." Jon Fertimer also felt that the investment of 155 million US dollars was too high and the risk was too great.
However, thinking of Moritz-Berman's plan, it is still feasible.
He glanced at Ryan, "Moritz, I'm considering inviting Angelina Jolie to play."
Ryan struggled with the script, "I need to think about it."
What about this movie,
The original version of "Alexander the Great" had an investment of US$155 million, but only received US$34.3 million in North America, and US$133 million overseas, with a total global box office of US$167.3 million.
Based on a production budget of $155 million, and promotional and marketing costs for the film, the movie was a box office bomb, with Warner Bros. expected to lose as much as $71 million.
However, the DVD versions "Director's Cut" and "Theatrical Edition" of "Alexander the Great" sold more than 3.5 million copies in the United States.
Oliver Stone's third cut, Alexander the Great, also sold nearly 1 million copies.
Judging from DVD sales, it can be regarded as a hot movie.
Thinking of this, Ryan put down the script in his hand, "Find some time, I want to meet Moritz-Berman and Oliver-Stone in person."
If you can compress the film investment from 155 million US dollars to less than 100 million US dollars, maybe you can try it.
If the production cost is still 155 million US dollars, he will definitely refuse without hesitation.
Leaving Orion Films, Carter-Eisner returned to the car, turned around and said to Mayne, the senior executive of ABC Television Network: "I have already said that Orion Films will not easily hand over the film adaptation rights of "Charlie's Angels". of."
"You're just wasting your time doing this."
Mayne shrugged his shoulders ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said: "I can't decide these things. The ones who can really make the decisions are ABC executives and Disney executives. They plan to get back the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels."
"This is a stupid decision." Carter-Eisner said unceremoniously: "ABC Television Network should not come to the door in this way, but to cooperate with Orion Films in a different way."
Another way!
"You mean to cooperate with Orion Films in the name of ABC Television Network!" Mayne quickly realized.
The film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels" is of no use to the ABC network, and they cannot make a movie.
The ABC TV network only intends to start filming a TV series simultaneously with the release of "Charlie's Angels".
That's what ABC Television Network is about.
It is Disney who really wants the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels".
