The Best Entertainment Era

The Lewis Theater is located on 17th Street in Burbank. It is a small two-story community theater. The theater is temporarily closed this afternoon. It cooperates with the rental party Shahai Entertainment to hold a screening of Human Purge Project.

Hundreds of movie fans recruited entered the theater first.

Similar film screenings or film screenings are very common in Los Angeles, and many movie fans are also willing to participate in this kind of free movie viewing activities. It is quite easy to recruit trial audiences.

Ronan, however, had something in it.

How's the preparation going? he asked Robert standing in the foyer of the theater. Is everyone here?

Robert nodded lightly: Don't worry, we have practiced no less than 30 times, and many emergencies have also been recorded, so there must be no problem.

Ronan let out a breath, and his slightly irritable mood gradually eased: If it doesn't go well, we can only go to the film festival, or find those small companies to distribute.

Robert knew of the deal Ronan had made with the Arabs that the film would definitely be released in North America, not on videotape.

Is there any clue about the acquisition of the distribution company? Robert asked in a low voice.

Ronan roughly said: George provided some lists. Wouldn't it be big to acquire a company with a wide distribution channel, and it would be meaningless to buy a small company with a limited distribution channel.

Robert echoed: Instead of buying small companies, we'll hire people to build a distribution department.

Ronan thought for a while and said, The first choice is acquisition. If there is no suitable acquisition target, we will prepare to establish a distribution company.

Definitely not to set up another distribution department in Sandsea Entertainment, but a distribution company independent of Sandsea Entertainment.

James Huang came over at this time, Ronan and Robert stopped talking about the company, and greeted James Huang one after another.

How many distribution companies are here today? Although James Huang is most concerned about the later Death Comes, he is also very concerned about whether the first film can enter the theater: Do you have a general goal?

As soon as he said this, he realized that he had asked a silly question. If he had a specific goal, he would not hold a movie screening.

Ronan said, It depends on the situation. It is estimated that there will be people from seven or eight companies coming. It will also depend on the specific conditions.

Issuance is necessary, but on this basis, it is also necessary to strive for favorable bargaining chips as much as possible.

There were more than forty minutes before the movie started, but no one from the distribution company came over. Robert was a little anxious and looked at the theater door frequently.

Ronan is also a little anxious. After all, this is his first movie in Hollywood, which is directly related to his future development.

If the film is successfully released in North America and wins a fair box office, the rights for overseas screenings can be sold at a decent price. Abu Dhabi will definitely be happy, and it will be easy to attract investment.

The first time to attract investment is often the hardest. With a precedent of successful cooperation, there is a good foundation for cooperation again.

As for cooperation with Arabs, there will be inexplicable accusations and investigations in the future. There is no need to worry too much about this. There are countless companies and individuals in the United States that have cooperative relations and financial transactions with Arabs.

Abu Dhabi belongs to the United Arab Emirates. Compared with countries such as Saudi Arabia, the risk factor of the United Arab Emirates is much smaller.

With so many companies doing business with Arabs all over America, who would even bother with a small company in such a non-critical industry as long as they don't cross a line.

Besides, Ronan would not be so stupid as to be tied to the Arabs.

His focus has always been on the money in the pockets of Arabs, and his eyes are shifting to India.

After waiting for a while, Ronan looked at his watch. It was only thirty minutes and no one came. He carefully planned the script. If the target audience doesn't come, what's the use?

James Huang was also a little anxious, looking at his watch frequently.

For him, the film's ability to enter theaters,

The release of the next film will go much smoother.

Not yet. Robert frowned.

Ronan's face was calm: Calm down. He raised his eyebrows lightly: Here we come.

The black Lexus car was parked at the entrance of the theater. A middle-aged man got out of the car and entered the theater. Ronan rushed to meet him and stretched out his right hand first: Welcome, Mr. Chris.

The man named Chris shook hands with him, and said with a smile, The road is a bit congested, but luckily we are not late.

Ronan smiled and said, It's a great honor for us to have you here.

Everyone likes to hear good things, and there is no loss in saying a few more words. He exchanged pleasantries with Chris from Sony, and asked Robert to send him to the box on the second floor.

Then Bran Milner of Warner Bros. came along.

One after another, representatives of four or five distribution companies or film viewing experts came to the theater.

Of course, these people belong to people with a little power and not too high in the company where they work. The daily main studio is to find and review movies suitable for theatrical release.

To put it bluntly, coming here is also part of their daily work.

In the box on the second floor, Chris was a little curious when he saw Bran Milner coming up, so he greeted him and asked, Why are you here?

Of course I can come if you can. Bran Milner said with a smile.

Chris tentatively asked: Warner Bros. is interested in this small production?

A horror movie with a cost of three million dollars, the director also directed X-Files, sounds good. Bran Milner said genuinely: The main reason is that Ronan Anderson is a good young man, enthusiastic and sincere. , I can't turn down my kindness.

Suddenly he asked, What about you, Chris?

Chris thought of several meetings with Ronan, and said: There are not many young people like Mr. Anderson, it's very real. He thought for a while, and added: Frankly speaking, I didn't come here because of the movie. The budget and the director, but Mr. Anderson struck me.

At the entrance of the theater, because the entrance is full of cars, the subsequent vehicles can only park a little further.

Gray Enrique of Lionsgate got out of the car and walked towards the theater. He met an acquaintance on the way, and the person greeted him, Good afternoon, Gray.

Good afternoon, Deron. Greg Enrique knew this colleague from New Line Films, pointed to the theater, and asked tentatively: New Line Films is interested in this Human Purge Project ?”

Deron shrugged: I don't have any other jobs at hand, I'm just here to try my luck.

Greg Enrique heard the subtext: You don't like this movie?

Deron said as he walked, Ronan Anderson lost a lot of money on his last film. He didn't understand what theatrical films are all about. It's only been a while, and this film has come out again. I think...

He didn't go any further, but shook his head: That means I'm not busy, otherwise I won't come.

Greg Enrique could tell that Deron seemed to think so.

It is not difficult to understand that New Line Films released the last film of Shahai Entertainment, and basically did not make any money.

For the issuing company, not making money is actually a loss.

The two entered the theater together and greeted Ronan one after another. Greg Enrique could see very clearly that Deron looked down on the young man a little bit, and his speech was faintly arrogant.

Ronan Anderson, a young man, gave him a good impression, especially when the two of them talked about horror movies last time, what the other party said was not like an outsider at all.

Lionsgate has just started, and the company's main business goal is low-budget horror films.

According to his senses, the films invested and produced by people like Ronan Anderson should be more reliable, at least not outrageous.

Fail again this time. Deron was talking to him: The company that old Anderson worked so hard to develop will be destroyed by his son.

Gray Enrique smiled and didn't answer Deron's words.

The two then entered the private room on the second floor together, where many colleagues were sitting.

Grey-Enrique greeted each other next to each other, sat on the seat, and when he looked forward, he heard a faint bang.

Delong heard it too, and following the sound, it turned out that the seat on the first floor was facing the conspicuous position of the box, and someone opened a can of Coke, probably because the Coke can had been collided, and the foam produced jumped out of Laogao.

I hate those people who watch movies and make messy sounds. Deron muttered.

Greg Enrique also saw it, and echoed: Me too.

One level of seating.

Mario took the tissue from Paul, wiped off the Coke foam on his body, first handed the opened Coke to Paul, and then opened another can.

Drink! Paul raised his head and drank.

Mario was also unambiguous, and drank it all in one go.

Then, the two each picked up a can of Coke.
