The Best Entertainment Era

Did you get the movie? Chris asked in a low voice.

Ronan thought for a while and said, Armstrong from Embassy Films signed a Swedish film yesterday, costing 200,000 US dollars, and we don't know what the prospect will be.

Chris asked curiously: Swedish movie? Are you going to show it in theaters?

Ronan shook his head: Directly entering the offline market, the cost of going online is too high, and it is easy to lose money.

Chris has worked with Ronan many times, knowing that his vision is unusual, he tentatively asked: What about you? Do you have any favorite movies?

Ronan said with a smile: This Dancer in the Dark is very good, but if you like it, I won't snatch it from you. It's just cheaper than that Dane.

Ronan would definitely not tell the truth about this kind of thing, and asked, What about you? Do you have any favorite movies?

Dancer in the Dark.

After getting an expected answer, Ronan didn't ask any more questions, and went to say hello to a few familiar directors and actors. Although they were all Europeans, they might have a film suitable for embassy pictures to distribute. .

Soon, Ronan came to a middle-aged couple.

Hello, Mr. Cassel. Hello, Miss Bellucci. Ronan shook hands with Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel one after another, and introduced himself: I am from American Relativity Entertainment. Ronan Anderson.

Vincent Cassel shook hands with Ronan first: Hello, Mr. Anderson.

Then, Monica Bellucci also shook hands with Ronan: Very nice to meet you.

Vincent Cassel is tall and thin, and Monica Bellucci looks stronger than him, but the wide frame can't weaken the charm of Monica Bellucci's sexy figure.

It's a pity that Monica Bellucci is getting old and close to the age of beauty's twilight.

God is fair, even if it is well maintained, once a woman gets older, as long as she doesn't wear makeup, her face is often very different from the carefully posed photos.

Especially in the actor industry, various make-up performances for a long time will cause great damage to the skin. As we grow older, plain makeup is often horrible.

The so-called frozen age actress,

What freezes the appearance is not maintenance and natural beauty, but makeup, plastic surgery and photo editing.

Although Monica Bellucci's sexy figure is still there, but seeing the crow's feet piled up around the eyes and sagging facial skin, and thinking about being nearly fifteen years older, Ronan admired it when he was in school in this previous life. The Italian goddess of related artistic shots over and over again, without the slightest interest.

Compared with Monica Bellucci herself, he is more interested in Monica Bellucci's movies.

Miss Bellucci. Ronan asked politely: I occasionally heard that you and director Giuseppe Tornadore filmed a film The Beautiful Legend of Sicily. When will this film be released?

Monica Bellucci's English is not very good, and the pronunciation is a bit awkward: It will be released in Italy in October this year.

Ronan asked again: May I ask, has The Beautiful Legend of Sicily found a distributor in North America? Seeing Monica Bellucci's puzzled face, he said, I have a distribution company that can Distribute the film all over the world.

Monica Bellucci looked at Ronan's young face, somewhat surprised, and said politely: This film already has a North American distributor, and Miramax is one of the film's investors. Released in North America.

Hearing the name Miramax, Ronan subconsciously glanced at Monica Bellucci, and the thought of cabbage being poked by a pig flashed through his mind.

It's a pity. Ronan said: I have always been a fan of Miss Monica, and I really want to release a movie starring Miss Monica.

He sent out his business card in a timely manner, first handing it to Vincent Cassel, and then to Monica Bellucci: If there is no suitable distributor for the movie starring Miss Monica in North America in the future, you can contact me.

Monica Bellucci, who has been famous for many years, solemnly collected her business card and said with a smile: It will definitely.

Ronan left immediately. The most famous film with Monica Bellucci as the heroine is undoubtedly The Beautiful Legend of Sicily. The rental market can also earn a lot of money.

It's a pity that all the good cabbages are really gobbled up by pigs.

Ronan suddenly thought of another thing. It seems that Irreversible came out not long after The Beautiful Legend of Sicily. The ten minutes in the middle and the ten minutes at the end of the film were once responsible for the traffic of some indescribable websites, especially the middle one. The ten-minute scene, it is said that when the movie first came out, it had the effect of shaking the world and crying ghosts and gods.

This film seems to have a market offline, I hope Monica Bellucci can give him a call then.

As for the online market, Ronan had the impression that this film seemed to be banned from being released in theaters in most markets because of the ten minutes in the middle.

It is said that when the film appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, it caused an uproar, and the festival organizing committee had to forcibly withdraw the film.

When I was a student, actresses who dared to dedicate themselves to art, such as Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, and Nicole Kidman, accompanied Ronan to pass a lot of boring time.

Cannes is rich in this type of film, and Ronan has studied it in depth. For example, the French national treasure-level actress Isabelle Huppert starred in Mother, the Limits of Love. something indescribable...

This film is so shocking that even the always open Cannes Film Festival had to pull down the film at the last minute and refused to screen it.

I don't know if Isabelle Huppert has a biological son...

Perhaps the French point of view in this regard, even the Americans can not understand.

Ronan also met Alejandro Inarrito, one of the three Mexican heroes, and chatted with him for a while. Unfortunately, his film Love Is a Bitches in competition also found a North American distributor.

Most of the films that can enter the main competition unit have been targeted.

In the following day, Ronan watched Edward Yang's Yi Yi, Shinji Aoyama's Artificial Paradise and Jiang Wen's The Devil Is Coming.

If I remember correctly, The Devil Is Coming won the jury award of this film festival.

Ronan also considered whether to talk to Jiang Wen about the introduction of The Devil Is Coming, and after inquiring, the North American distribution rights of this film were not sold, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up.

After all, this film has annoyed many people there, and his Embassy Pictures is opening up the distribution market there, so there is no need to cause misunderstandings because of this small profit.

As for Jiang Wen, after the glory of the Cannes Film Festival, it will be bad luck to go back.

With the help of Sony Entertainment's introduction, Ronan took the time to visit Edward Yang. Although the film copyright of Yi Yi has been sold, there is also the possibility of cooperation in the future.

Edward Yang is also very famous in North America.

From a certain point of view, Ronan also wanted to see Edward Yang himself. In his previous life, the Guling Street Juvenile Murder left a deep impression on him.

There is also the young Zhang Zhen.

A Brighter Summer Day was later borrowed and changed countless names.

Ronan, Robert called an hour ago.

Back at the hotel, assistant Connie said: He said that the office of the Embassy Pictures in the East is officially open today.

Ronan nodded: I see. He looked at the time: Call back tomorrow and everything will go according to plan.

Okay. Connie wrote it down in her work diary.

Ronan asked again, What's going on with Armstrong?

Connie said: Today they focused on investigating a German film, and they are going to contact each other tomorrow.

Hmm. Ronan responded and asked, A low-budget movie?

Yes. Connie replied.

Ronan didn't ask any more questions, and the division of labor between the two sides was relatively clear. Armstrong and others focused on movies with lower costs, and Ronan was personally responsible for those movies that attracted more attention.

Compared with other people, Ronan has not made any progress for the time being. Many literary films look good, but the producers charge a high price. Although the quality of the films is indeed guaranteed, they are limited to the audience. If the purchase price is too high, the points Minutes can be lost.

For many art films, no matter how good the quality is, the marketing is excellent, and the result is often that the output is not as good as the input.

This is determined by the general environment of the film market.

Like Dancer in the Dark, Ronan thinks that this film works well, and may be nominated for a Golden Globe or an Oscar, but it is difficult to exceed 5 million US dollars at the North American box office.

Coupled with the cost of publicity and distribution, it is not worthwhile to spend 5 million US dollars to buy North American copyrights.

However, Ronan had already found his target, and it was confirmed the second day after he came to Cannes.

It's a movie that works well and has the potential to be of great value.

Ronan asked Connie again: How about what I asked you to do?

Connie quickly found an invitation letter: This is an invitation for the premiere application from the organizing committee. I have contacted with the crew. This film does not participate in the competition unit, it is only a screening, and it will be released in the North American copyright region. The copyright is still in the hands of the producers.

Ronan didn't speak, thinking silently.

There are also other companies paying attention to this film. Connie continued: Ann Lee is also a very well-known director in North America. His Sense and Sensibility won an Oscar nomination.

However, because of the subject matter of this film, the attention it receives is far less than Ann Lee's previous works.

Ronan is well aware of this. Martial arts films have audiences in the West, but they have always been niche films among the niche.

It’s okay if it’s a kung fu movie, but I’m afraid most Westerners won’t be able to understand martial arts movies flying around, which is exactly where his strength lies.

Connie added: The premiere will be tomorrow afternoon, and the producers and director will be present.
