The Best Entertainment Era

For Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures, The Bourne Shadow is the project that Ronan has invested the most funds and resources since he took control of these two companies, and it is directly related to whether he can enter the first-line big productions and even super A-level projects in the future. Big production.

Without relevant production experience and commercial operation accumulation, rushing into the top commercial production market will inevitably mean huge risks.

Therefore, the success or failure of The Bourne Shadow is extremely critical.

For this reason, Ronan did not hesitate to cooperate with Robert Ludlum's family to make the deceased be remembered and remembered again.

The premiere is very important for the promotion of a film with above-average production, and Ronan has also worked hard in this regard.

Damn! Did you make a mistake!

This was almost the first reaction of all media reporters who came to report the premiere of the film when they arrived at the Nokia Theater. They were all shocked by the ingenious layout!

In front of the Nokia Theater, a pure black carpet stretches from the entrance of the theater to the edge of the road, which looks so different and different.

In order to commemorate Robert Ludlum, in line with the atmosphere created by the promotion, Ronan specially asked the embassy film company to lay out a 180-foot-long black carpet!

This is not unique in the history of Hollywood, but it is also very rare.

What surprised the media reporters even more was that all the crew members who walked on the black carpet wore black dresses without exception. Even Jennifer Garner, the heroine, was wearing a dark black lady's suit and dress.

This gave the premiere a more dignified feel, in stark contrast to other premieres, with a slightly heavy atmosphere instead of joy.

The traditional red carpet was replaced by black. In order to meet the occasion, I remembered Robert Ludlum even more. The black carpet was full of deepness, and the guests also chose black dresses by coincidence. There was no exaggerated expression. Faced with the cheers one after another, at most they responded with a touch of admiration. smile.

On both sides of the black carpet, large photos and promotional posters of Robert Ludlum and The Bourne Trilogy were hung, even stealing the limelight from the stars.

The family of Robert Ludlum also came to the scene and accepted the interviews of media reporters very cooperatively.

In front of the theater, a band specially hired by Embassy Pictures played a short film soundtrack live, and Robert Ludlum's name flashed again in the night sky of Los Angeles.

These not only did not reduce the attractiveness of the premiere, but pushed the atmosphere of nostalgia and mourning for Robert Ludlum that had been brewing since the beginning of May to a climax.

Wearing a black formal suit, Ronan walked across the black carpet with a serious face and entered the media interview area.

In the past, he seldom appeared in front of the screen, but Bourne Shadow is so critical to the future, even if it can only increase a small amount of topicality and attractiveness, Ronan will personally appear on the stage.

Regarding Robert Ludlum, Ronan has no unrealistic expectations to achieve the extremely explosive effects of Heath Ledger and The Dark Knight in his previous life. A huge media weapon can be easily deified, and Robert Ludlum is a writer after all.

But these efforts are enough to attract millions more people to pay attention to The Bourne.

As soon as Ronan entered the media interview area, reporters immediately surrounded him.

When I was talking with Mr. Robert Ludlum about the film adaptation of The Bourne Trilogy, I solemnly invited him to attend the film premiere.

Facing the microphones and cameras of the media reporters, Ronan looked heavy and sad: Mr. Lu Delun also accepted the invitation with pleasure, I didn't expect...

He sighed deeply, and said, I thought he wouldn't miss today's premiere...

A producer who can't act in time is definitely not a qualified film company owner: Mr. Robert Ludlum's creative talent is incredible. His Bourne Trilogy is a precious literary treasure. It is a great honor and pride for me to recognize and authorize, adapt this series.

Ronan paused for a while, seeming to relieve his grief, and said: Mr. Ludlum created an amazing world of secret agents with the Bourne Trilogy, which can be called a classic among classics. Although he has already gone to heaven , but we can still enjoy his works through movies and movies, so that his name will always be eulogized in the world.

After the interview, Ronan walked out of the media area with a stern expression. Instead of taking a group photo, he walked directly to the Nokia Theater and saw Tom Cruise at the entrance of the theater.

Why so serious? Tom Cruise was not used to Ronan's sullen face.

Ronan greeted Tom Cruise into the theater, and immediately relaxed, saying: It turns out that the performance is both heart-tiring and face-tiring.

Tom Cruise couldn't help laughing, and said: The propaganda you planned by yourself will be completed even if you cry.

Does that sound ambiguous? Ronan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, Fortunately, I just need to stay behind the scenes most of the time.

Tom Cruise revealed mercilessly: You are the legendary behind-the-scenes man.

Ronan walked towards the VIP room first, and said as he walked, I am the one behind the scenes, not the black hand.

Tom Cruise followed up and said, Ronan, how did you come up with these ideas? A few months ago, Paris Hilton was used to make a bad movie explode, and now even a dead man like Robert Ludlum Don't let it go.

Hey... Tom, you can't say that. Ronan emphasized: Before I made the plan, I had enough communication with Robert Ludlum's family. If they don't agree, I won't use this plan. .”

Really? Tom Cruise felt that he knew Ronan better, would he have such a high integrity?

Ronan said very solemnly: Of course it is true.

Anyway, Robert Ludlum's family members not only agreed, but also actively participated in it. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not.

Tom Cruise asks: Is that 'House of the Dead' out?

Ronan replied: In late May, it was sold in North America, with US$34.1 million in North America and US$44.8 million globally. Overseas is expected to increase.

In terms of film operation... Tom Cruise can only say: I have nothing to say except admiration.

Ronan smiled and said, I'm not humble anymore.

In fact, the North American box office of House of the Dead exceeded 30 million US dollars in just three weeks, and the subsequent increase was better than nothing. When the Paris-Hilton character collapsed, the amount of increase was very little.

The overseas performance was much worse. Fortunately, due to the influence of the North American market, tens of millions of dollars were recorded at the box office.

However, affected by the extremely poor reputation of the film audience, the offline income of House of the Dead is limited, and currently it does not even have 5 million US dollars.

However, compared to the investment, this film still made the embassy film industry and Shahai entertainment a lot of money.

Of course, Ronan is not the only winner. It involves the investment from Koch Films. The two parties will follow the agreement, after the embassy film and Shahai Entertainment deduct various costs and taxes before making a pure profit settlement.

Naturally, Ronan will not cheat Tony Koch, but he will not go beyond Hollywood's profit calculation model, and everything will be done in accordance with the rules, so that the long-term cooperation can continue.

Although it has not been calculated in detail, in general, Koch Films' investment of 1 million US dollars can probably have a total profit of about 3 million US dollars.

Entering the VIP room, Ronan took the initiative to greet people, and several second-tier celebrity customers under CAA also came to help support the venue, as the host should go to politely.

Then, Ronan saw two people, his face was a little bright, but he quickly returned to normal.

Hi, Ben. Ronan went to greet him: Welcome to the premiere.

The host must have the courtesy of hospitality.

Ben Affleck shakes Ronan's hand: Hello, Ronan.

Ronan turned to look at Jennifer Garner beside Ben Affleck, and said, Jane, why are you in here?

According to common sense, she will take part in group photos outside and the like.

Jennifer Garner held Ben Affleck's arm generously and said, I'm not feeling well during my period. I told George about it.

Ronan nodded, and said with concern: Be careful. He then looked at Ben Affleck: You...

Ben Affleck is not at all embarrassed: Jane accepted my pursuit, and we are now boyfriend and girlfriend.

Congratulations. Ronan said with a smile.

Who wrote this script? What a shit.

Ronan muttered something in his heart, chatted with the two for a while, and then went to another place.

The crew members came to the VIP room one after another at this time. Ronan found Paul Greengrass and exchanged ideas about the creation of the sequel. Meng was talking and laughing with the two of them.

This Hollywood-style love is really incomprehensible.

Ronan shook his head and stopped paying attention to the situation there. It seems that after the breakup of Hollywood couples like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, there are only a small number of them who never get along with each other, and most of them are similar to the ones we just saw. That kind of friendship after breaking up.

For example, Sean Penn and Charlize Theron, the two officially dated for two years. After breaking up, Sean Penn introduced Charlize Theron to Brad Pitt.

It doesn't seem uncommon for some people to occasionally have a friendship cannon after a breakup.

Ronan has been working hard in Hollywood for the past few years. One of his biggest opinions on star actors is that he should never use the image in front of the screen to see the real face of a star.

In front of the public is an angel, but when you turn your head, you may be a devil.

There are a lot of publicity, just look at it, as a pastime, after all, Hollywood can even make a god from the dead.

When it was almost time, Ronan led the crew into the screening hall of the theater, and they were greeted with unusually warm applause.

The hall was crowded with people, even before the movie was screened, there was already thunderous applause, as if everyone was waiting for this moment, thinking of using this special way to commemorate a great writer who passed away.

The audience was full, and there was not even a single empty seat!

The attendance rate of this premiere was as high as 100%!
