The Best Entertainment Era

Amid the applause, many guests came to congratulate Ronan.

Tom Cruise and Ronan hugged hard, and then said: It's a great film, it's really touching, it's a pity that Will went to New York to shoot the film, otherwise he must bring Jaden and Vero to see it. Watch this movie.

Ronan knew he was talking about Will Smith's son and daughter: Those two have to grow up to understand.

Tom Cruise patted Ronan's arm: Old wine in a new bottle, but it can make people aftertaste, it's amazing.

Ronan smiled and was not polite to Tom Cruise, then shook hands with those who came to congratulate him, and said polite words.

In Hollywood, it's normal to cheer each other up.

The premiere ended successfully, and there was a press conference to follow. Ronan did not attend and left the theater directly.

On the first day of Taken's North American release, another huge event was held in Los Angeles, and Ronan found time to chat with Amanda Seyfried.

I just finished a script here. Ronan said directly: The heroine is very suitable for you.

Amanda Seyfried put down her drinking glass and said, Ronan, I'll act if you think it suits me.

Ronan briefly said: The theme of youth campus, which tells the life of high school students, is just right for your age.

Amanda, also in high school, said, Well, I have no problem.

Seeing Amanda Seyfried being approached by the public relations staff of the production team, Ronan said, Go ahead, the production manager at Sandsea Entertainment has already started to set up the production team. I will let him contact your mother. Also send the script to your mother, you prepare in advance, the audition process must go.

Well, okay. Amanda Seyfried dimpled with a smile: I will definitely be ready.

Watching Amanda Seyfried enter the taping set, Ronan found Jeffrey Abrams to chat for a while.

Ronan said: The response to the film was very good.

I heard that we got $5.28 million in advance. Jeffrey Abrams was obviously in a good mood: Ronan, can this film be said to be a success?

Ronan nodded slightly: Success is an inevitable result. We are going to put a sequel on the agenda, Jeffrey, continue to be the director of this project.

The two parties signed a trilogy director contract, of course Jeffrey Abrams couldn't refuse: No problem. But he still said: Ronan, it only took one year for this film to go from project approval to release. During this time, I have been under tremendous pressure, and I am still very nervous, and I need to rest and adjust for a few months.

Although the film investment is only 20 million U.S. dollars, it is only a medium-scale production of an average scale, but the work pressure brought about by the tight schedule is real. It is impossible for Ronan to refuse this reasonable request, saying: Yes, my preliminary plan is next year's Oscar. Then start working on the sequel.”

Jeffrey Abrams thought about it for a while and said: This period of rest is enough. He said with a smile: Every director must bear the pressure, and pressure is often the driving force for progress.

Ronan reminded: The investment in the sequel will increase.

Not to mention anything else, just the increase in the salaries of the sequel staff will bring about an increase in production costs.

Although Taken has only been released for one day, the good reviews and excellent early box office have given Jeffrey Abrams considerable confidence in directing the film for the first time.

He said with a smile: As the cost increases, the director's pressure will also increase, but it is also a good opportunity. I have participated in many low-budget films. The big challenge for low-budget films is how to attract audiences to watch your work. The benefits of shooting high-budget films are obvious, it has the opportunity to meet global audiences, and this is the best opportunity for a filmmaker.”

Ronan nodded slowly. As a director who has to bear the cost pressure of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, learning to face pressure and work under high pressure is the most basic skill.

Jeffrey Abrams said seriously: Actually, I enjoy the process of making movies very much.

Especially when you’re working on a film with a team, with creative people, the sparks of thinking fill the room, which is very exciting.

Ronan shook hands with Jeffrey Abrams: I look forward to another masterpiece from you in the future.

Jeffrey Abrams is undoubtedly a very thoughtful director.

Ronan also knew that the cooperation of these directors was needed to turn the films in his head into films that could be released.

Some directors may have some differences in concept with him, but as long as the ultimate goal is the same, we can continue to cooperate.

Ronan always believes that even if the number of theatergoers is decreasing, the future market for movies will grow bigger and bigger.

The greatest power of movies is that they can bring audiences experiences and experiences that they have never had before. Whether it is reality or non-existence, fantasy, etc., movies are an excellent way to let audiences see what they have never imagined. or something seen.

While every day seems to be a busy one, Ronan is enjoying it.

How lucky is it to have the same interest and work? It is not too much to say that he is the son of Lady Luck.

The quality of a movie is determined by the shooting and production, but in recent years, the commercial performance of a movie has become more and more closely related to publicity and marketing.

Ronan will not take it for granted that the film will be a hit just because Taken has a good reputation.

The publicity and promotion of Taken in all aspects is still going on.

At the promotional event on the first day of the release, the publisher, Embassy Pictures, and the producer, Shahai Entertainment, jointly announced that they would donate 5% of the North American box office of the film to the newly established Missing Girl Rescue Foundation for Find and help relevant people to provide charitable support.

Although purposeful charity will be criticized by some people with the highest morals, but commercial charity is very common in the United States. In fact, most charities are of this nature.

Helping with purpose is always more appreciated than those who only know to occupy the moral high ground but have no actual action.

Frankly, purposeful philanthropy tends to work over the long term.

At the same time, some publicity resources are also moving closer to Liam Neeson.

Liam Neeson has a good reputation in Hollywood and has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, and he is also a typical example of getting older and more handsome.

Under Ronan's instruction, the Propaganda Department of the Embassy Films produced an elaborate article about Liam Neeson, which was circulated by trolls on the Internet.

Life is 50 years old! Remember Liam Neeson's rescue career!

Although it is still far away from becoming the God of Rescue, and the only real rescue films are Schindler's List and Taken, it does not hinder Liam Neeson's publicity and hype in this regard.

This can also pave the way for the next cooperation between Liam Neeson and Sand Sea Entertainment.

In addition, Liam Neeson's skills were also highlighted in the publicity and hype, telling all audiences that in reality Liam Neeson is also a good mover.

Liam Neeson was a boxer when he was young. He loved Muhammad Ali. He started boxing at the age of 9. At the age of 15, his nose was broken, but he still won the Irish Youth Championship that year. Until the age of 17 At that time, he was completely knocked out in a match, and Liam gave up his boxing career completely.

The audience also bought Liam Neeson's account very much. In the copyright comment section of IMDB's Taken, there were many comments that praised Liam Neeson.

Liam Neeson is the best actor in an action movie! You can see his love for his daughter in his eyes in Taken!

Some viewers even mentioned Liam Neeson's regrets at the Oscars.

The crying scene at the end of Schindler's List is really an actor-level, but it's a pity that I can't help it when I meet Tom Hanks!

Some female fans seem to have a soft spot for older men.

It would be great if the uncle was twenty years younger, and he would have more stamina to shoot action movies. In addition, the uncle's voice is really magnetic.

Liam Neeson is definitely the poster boy for charisma.

In contrast, Amanda Seyfried did not receive a significant increase in attention after the screening because of the extensive media coverage of the girl's disappearance.

But as a producer, Ronan specifically praised Amanda Seyfried in an interview.

Amanda is very professional. She takes her work seriously, and can quickly integrate herself into the work, and show off her outstanding performance in the first time. She knows how to act and how to express emotions in the face of different things. She has He's a seasoned performer.

When the film's first-day box office was released, all the hard work paid off.

Taken grossed $18.6 million in 3,120 theaters on its first day of release in North America, including early screenings.

This result also overwhelmed the US$12.85 million of Die Another Day and became the North American box office champion of the day.

Taken gained not only the box office, but also a good reputation.

The whole film was completed in one go, without any sloppiness, and the plot is also very smooth and complete.

Excellent commercial film, quite well-made.

The success of this film lies in the fact that it used the plot to mobilize the audience's sense of presence. I watched the 007 film last weekend. Although the various effects and actions were designed very well, there was always a sense of excitement. And Taken It’s about the father saving his daughter, but the daughter was caught by the most heinous human traffickers, facing the fate of being drugged and prostituted, so I was nervous for her. There is a special feeling that the protagonist is killing I would secretly applaud every villain, because in this film, the separation of good and evil coincides with the audience's instinctive cognition.
