The Best Entertainment Era

Manhattan, New York.

The black Mercedes-Benz car parked in front of the funeral home. Ronan in a black suit opened the door and got out of the car. Regardless of the flashing lights around him and the voices of reporters asking for an interview, he walked into the funeral home with a serious face.

This is the memorial service held by Heath Ledger's family for him, and then Heath Ledger will return to his hometown in Australia for burial with the assistance of the Australian Consulate.

Ronan first placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Heath Ledger's portrait, and then shook hands with Heath Ledger's parents and sister one by one.

I am sorry for your loss.

At this time, any words are superfluous, and Ronan can't say much.

Heath Ledger's parents suppress grief: 'Thank you.'

Guided by Heath Ledger's sister, Ronan went to the lounge next to the mourning hall.

Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Heath Ledger's sister whispered: I heard from Michelle that you tried to persuade Heath several times, but unfortunately he didn't listen...

Ronan said again in a low voice, My condolences.

Heath Ledger's sister nodded silently with tears in her eyes, led Ronan into the lounge, and then returned to the mourning hall alone.

There are already many people sitting in the lounge, most of whom Ronan knows, such as Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, Michelle Williams, Jack Gyllentheal, and Ang Lee.

Everyone's face was heavy, and they were all silent.

Ronan came to Michelle Williams: Misha, sorry.

Immediately, Michelle Williams said: He's so stubborn, so stubborn.

Ronan didn't know what to say.

I tried to persuade him, but it didn't work. Michelle Williams said hoarsely: Ronan, you also persuaded him, but he didn't listen.

It was too quiet in the lounge, and everyone's eyes turned to Michelle Williams.

Michelle-Williams said: I divorced him because of drug abuse, but he still hasn't changed, the result? She seemed extremely angry: Matilda has no father!

Everyone here has worked with Heath Ledger and knows something about it.

Jack Jerome Hill came over and said, Misha, don't complain about Heath. He, with a gorgeous turn... took away his love for drama and our thoughts about him.

Soon, the lounge fell into silence again.

Footsteps sounded again, and Heath Ledger's sister came in with someone again, a very young woman.

Ronan glanced at it. She was also a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, and the older sister of the former Scarlet Witch, Mary Olsen.

Mary Olsen's eyes lit up when she saw Ronan, but she didn't say anything. It's really not suitable to talk more on this occasion.

Regarding Heath Ledger and Mary Olsen, it is also one of the hot topics reported by the entertainment media recently.

The first person who discovered Heath Ledger was a door-to-door masseuse. After she found out that Heath Ledger was dead, she did not immediately call the police, but called Mary Olsen four times in succession.

It was even rumored that

Heath Ledger died in Mary Olsen's apartment.

Mary Olsen has publicly denied being friends with Heath Ledger.

In the current situation, any news about Heath Ledger will become a hot topic, and true and false news will run rampant.

That's what Warner Bros. and DC Comics wanted.

Today was just a relatively private memorial service. Near noon, Heath Ledger's family members came to thank him, and then, including Ronan, they all bid farewell and left one after another.

Ronan ignored Mary Olsen, who was giving him hints frequently, and invited Ang Lee into his car.

The current situation, involving Mary Olsen, was asking for trouble.

As for the younger sister of the Osson family, she has just come of age, and Sand Sea Entertainment will not get in touch with her until a few years later.

Ronan was going to the airport to rush back to Los Angeles, and Ang Lee was also going to the airport to return to Asia, so it happened to be on the way.

Li Ang watched the funeral home get farther and farther behind the car, and said: When filming Brokeback Mountain, you persuaded him, and I persuaded him, I didn't expect...

Ronan said: It is one of the hardest things in the world to completely change other people's values.

That's right. Li An was also very aware of this point: There are too many such things that I originally tried to persuade with good intentions, but ended up being treated as bad guys.

He turned to ask: Warner Brothers is planning to use this for publicity and marketing?

Ronan looked very calm: Warner Brothers took the lead, otherwise Sony Columbia Pictures is now hyping.

According to the news he got from Chris, Sony Columbia Pictures also wanted to use Heath Ledger to hype, but the reaction was a few shots slower, and finally acquiesced to the situation created by Warner Bros.

Because the momentum about the clown is too great, if Sony Columbia Pictures wants to reverse it, it must invest a lot of resources, but the production cost of the film Magic and Fantasy Show is only 30 million U.S. dollars, so it is really not worth investing too much publicity funds.

Ang Lee sighed, and simply changed the subject: This year's awards season, is the film under Relativity Entertainment the number one hit again?

Ronan said: It is mainly borrowed from the advantages that Martin Scorsese has accumulated over the years. Without the director of Martin Scorsese, The Departed will not become one of the hot spots of the awards season.

Ang Lee thought for a while: Oscar should also give Martin Scorsese a best director statuette. He took the initiative to say: I contacted many friends, and all of our votes will be for The Departed.

Having worked hard in Hollywood for nearly 20 years, Ang Lee also has a fairly extensive network of relationships, and his success at the Oscars has a lot to do with his well-built network of relationships.

Ronan nodded slightly: Thank you.

Li An said with a smile: You are welcome, Ronan. If it weren't for you and Relativity Entertainment, would I be where I am now?

Ronan smiled slightly, and stopped talking about the Oscars and awards season, and asked instead: How is your global travel and expanding your horizons?

It went very well. I saw cultures and customs from all over the world, and I gained some experience. Ang Lee said quite sincerely: If it wasn't for this incident, I would not have returned to North America.

Ronan asked, What's your greatest experience?

Li Ang hardly thought about it, and said directly: National, never world.

Hearing this, Ronan quite approved and said, Li, no wonder you are the most successful in Hollywood among all the oriental directors.

The reason is very simple, but not everyone can understand it.

Ang Lee said: Before, I just had such a vague concept. This time, I saw more cultural customs from all over the world and watched more movies from various countries, and it became clearer.

Ronan nodded slowly: It seems that you have gained a lot this time.

Ang Lee continued: I recently stayed in India for a long time, and I specially went to Bollywood for investigation. Bollywood movies can be said to be typical in this regard. Their song and dance movies are very popular in the Indian market, and even most Hollywood movies Mainstream commercial films are not rivals, but once they come out of India, the audience for these musical films is very small, and it is difficult for even professional film circles to recognize them.”

Ronan thought of dancing in Indian movies, and said: Others don't know, I find it difficult to accept Indian musicals.

Ang Lee said seriously: Actually, Indian films have merits in some aspects, and the culture also integrates many ideas from the East and the West. If they can be reflected in films, there may be no market.

Hearing this, Ronan thought of something and said, By the way, Li. Some time ago, the Indian branch recommended an Indian novel to me. I think it is very good. It has the potential to be adapted into a movie. If you are interested You can take a look at it.”

Thinking of the previous Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee said without hesitation: Yes, I have been studying Indian culture recently. He asked again: What is the name of the novel?

Ronan said: The Fantasy and Beauty of Boy Pi seems to have been published in India around 2001. I forgot the name of the original author. I will ask someone to send the electronic version of the novel to your mailbox later.

Okay! Li An looked forward to it: I will study it carefully.

Ronan said directly: I have limited knowledge of Indian culture, Li, please see if there is any value and possibility of adapting it into a movie, and if it can be adapted, how should it be adapted.

Li An pondered for a while, and said, After I read the original novel, I'll write you a specific report.

Ronan nodded slightly: Yes. You know my work email address, and you can send it directly to my email address, or post it to the Relativity Building.

Ang Lee added: It may take several months, or even more than half a year.

Don't worry. Ronan waved his hand: The copyright of the adaptation of the novel is already in the hands of Relativity Entertainment. I have the final say on when it will be adapted.

On the Indian branch, after several contacts with the original author and the publishing house, last year it successfully bought the film and television adaptation rights of Life of Pi, which is similar to Slumdog Millionaire. It is difficult for a work to sell at a high price, and Relativity Entertainment only spent 800,000 US dollars to get the film and television adaptation rights.

This is also related to the market and economic differences between the two places. US$800,000 is a low price for Relativity Entertainment, but it may be a huge fortune for the middle class in India.

The initiative of this project is already in the hands of Relativity Entertainment, so Ronan is not in a hurry, let Ang Lee plan and operate it slowly.

Ronan roughly remembered that Life of Pi was Ang Lee's last commercial film, and its global box office once seemed to exceed the sum of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain.

Of course, if there is no accident, this should also be the film project with the highest budget produced by Ang Lee.

Fantasy Drifting of Boy Pi also does a good job of balancing business and art.

Arriving at Kennedy Airport, Ang Lee took a flight back to Asia, and Ronan took a private jet back to Los Angeles. Now the awards season is in full swing, and the competition for various awards has reached the most intense stage.
