The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 353 Dry this bowl of chicken soup

After getting the name, Ronan checked on the Internet that night, and he could see that Chris Gardner's experience was quite similar to the hero in the movie in his memory. Details for Reece Gardner.

More and more information gathered in Ronan's hands. Through the mutual verification of information and memory, he was completely sure that Chris Gardner was the prototype of the male protagonist in the movie When Happiness Knocks in his previous life.

How can such a chicken soup movie be worthy of the so-called American dream if it is not filled with audiences across the United States.

If you have a dream, defend it.

If you have a dream, work hard to realize it.

This is the motivation that Chris Gardner often instills in his staff in the material.

Very chicken soup, isn't it?

Ronan intends to tell all ordinary people and losers in the United States: Don't panic, happiness will come eventually, as long as you buy movie tickets with your wallet, happiness is right in front of your eyes.

Besides, it's a black film.

At other times, Ronan might have doubts, but after the 9/11 incident, the American society and economy have undergone major changes, which has deeply affected the movie-watching choices of Hollywood and movie audiences.

Just this month, at the 74th Academy Awards, a black man was the biggest winner.

Denzel Washington won Best Actor for Training Day and Halle Berry became the first black actress to win an Oscar for Dance of the Dead.

This not only excited the blacks in Hollywood circles, but also gave a shot of chicken blood to all black groups in the United States.

Ronan can only sigh, uniting all the forces that can be united, the old beauty is also slippery.

Under the current social environment, from the government to the society to the people, it seems that black power is needed.

Thus, a pair of black actor and actress came into being.

Oscar used the actual results to prove once again that the relationship between winning awards and acting skills is not that close.

Of course, Halle Berry's dance with Billy Bob Thornton was really brilliant and became a national sensation.

Nicole Kidman, by contrast, doesn't show enough in Moulin Rouge.

How can you win the Oscar for the leading actress? How to get a future Oscar host to sing I've seen the Mimi of the Best Actresses at the Oscars.

For Best Actor, Denzel Washington won the award, which made another black superstar nominated for Best Actor feel aggrieved.

Am I worse than Daniel Washington? Will Smith will not complain in public, but he has a lot of complaints in private: Ronan, tell me, my Boxing King Ali is not good. okay?

Ronan walked to the water dispenser in the office, took a glass of mineral water for Will Smith, put it on the coffee table next to the sofa, sat on the other side, and said, It's not about acting, Will, you are number one. nomination.

He has been friends with Will Smith for several years, and he doesn't have to worry about some words: Don't you think that the Oscars will reward you this year?

Will Smith took a long sip from his water glass and said, I know that. I've seen it since awards season started.

Ronan was not surprised by this statement, after all Will Smith is also one of the leaders of Hollywood's future Black Lives Matter movement.

I'm just not reconciled. Will Smith is not unaware that the chance of winning is not high: So many resources have been invested, and the result is that most people choose Denzel Washington from the beginning of the skirmish.

The awards ceremony was over, and Will Smith just complained a few words.

Ronan said casually: You are nominated for the first time, and there will be opportunities in the future. You have to learn from Tom's mentality. You have been nominated many times, but you have not won once.

Tom Cruise has a worse mentality than me. Will Smith couldn't help laughing.

This also reminded Ronan of the series of troubles that Tom Cruise had caused because of his Oscar loss.

Indeed, Tom Cruise's mentality is not good.

Ronan said again: Take your time, don't worry.

Will Smith said: When I finish filming The Rival of All People, I will look for another project suitable for Oscar.

Ronan immediately thought of Chris Gardner, but he had just collected the information and hadn't contacted Chris Gardner himself, so it wasn't the time to talk to Will Smith about it.

Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Will Smith waved his hand, ready to leave: I'm going to Sony Columbia to talk to them about the promotional schedule of Men in Black 2.

Ronan sent Will Smith out of the office.

Speaking of which, the company that Will Smith has worked with the most is Sony Columbia Pictures. Men in Black, Jedi Men, King Ali and so on are all films that cooperate with Sony Columbia.

Back in the office, Ronan called Robert Lee and asked him to come over as soon as possible to deal with Chris Gardner's authorization.

Judging from Will Smith's mentality of wanting to continue to hit the Oscars, he will definitely not refuse to kill this bowl of chicken soup.

However, it is too difficult for Will Smith to win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Not to mention anything else, the two identities of being a hip-hop star and a comedian are a mountain that is difficult to climb.

At best, with Hollywood-style political correctness.

Strictly speaking, When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door is absolutely politically correct.

In this era, the American Dream and Chicken Soup for the Soul are still commendatory terms, and there are black male protagonists.

It's a pity that he is not gay, otherwise he would have to wait a few years before filming, and the big killer of blacks and gays would be displayed, maybe Will Smith would really win the award.

The political correctness of Hollywood in the previous life has almost affected every aspect of the film industry, not to mention the Oscars, even the already completed Harry Potter series, Joanna Rowling jumped out to say that Albus Dumbledore is gay...

Following this rhythm, it is very likely to evolve into this situation: Gandalf and Saruman are a pair, Thor and Aquaman are lovers, Terminator and RoboCop are machine lovers, King Kong and Godzilla are beyond race Love, Santa Claus and Jesus are year-end friends...

The whole world is covered by the rainbow, the chrysanthemum becomes the flower of the earth, and everyone sings the chrysanthemum remnant together.

There was a knock on the door, and Ronan said please come in, and Robert Lee pushed the door and walked in.

Look at these. Ronan handed a stack of information about Chris Gardner to Robert Lee: The owner and CEO of Gardner Financial Management Company.

Robert Lee took it over, read it carefully, and couldn't help saying: This entrepreneurial experience is so inspiring. Oh, and I'm still a black man.

Ronan said: You go to Gardner's financial company and contact Chris Gardner in person. I need his authorization for adaptation.

Although this type of autobiographical film can be adapted without the author's authorization, it is easy to cause some unnecessary troubles.

If the individual does not authorize the screenwriter or producer, but appears in the work, the individual can file a lawsuit for compensation on the grounds of defamation, publicity rights, privacy violations, unfair competition, and so on.

These can all be avoided if the relevant authorization is obtained.

Moreover, the authorization price of a live-action story is not high. Currently, the highest price for a license to adapt a live-action story in Hollywood is only 1 million US dollars, and the other party is still a famous person.

The average person is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at most.

Ronan asked Robert Lee to make a special trip to avoid some unexpected situations.

After all, there are too many copyrights or scripts, which appeared many years before the movie.

For example, Dance of the Deadman, which won Halle Berry as the best actress in the Oscar, the script was completed in early 1995, because the screenwriter's reputation was not obvious at that time, and the script was almost divided between many producers, producers, directors and actors. It changed hands, and it was not until the spring of 2001 that it was finally finalized to be filmed by Lionsgate Films.

Robert Lee said: I will make some preparations in the afternoon, and I will go to Gardner Financial Management Company tomorrow. He was the first person to follow Ronan, and he believed in Ronan's vision: Chris Gardner is a very good inspirational person. theme.

Ronan nodded lightly: The filming of inspirational themes is done, and the market prospect is very good.

Chicken soup movies like this are still very popular.

There are too many inspirational movies in Hollywood, and the movies that cry out for healing can often stimulate the nerves of the audience.

This kind of little person's experience of struggling and succeeding as an ordinary or even a loser can effectively grasp several pain points in the life of the public, thus resonating, and making people experience a real and ordinary life with the protagonist in the moving struggle.

Just as Robert Li was about to leave Ronan's office, he remembered something and reminded him: Blue Sky Studio's Ice Age is about to be released.

Before, Ronan had asked Robert Lee to stare at several animation film studios and the animation departments of major companies,

I know. Ronan has long been concerned about this animated feature film: It will be released in North America this weekend.

In the North American film market in March, there were three most popular films: The Scorpion King released by Universal Pictures, Underworld released by Embassy Pictures, and Ice Age released by 20th Century Fox.

The latter was released this month, and the first two were released in April.

Ronan thought for a while, and said to Robert Lee: You let someone keep an eye on 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios. What's going on in their own animation department.

Robert Lee responded: I will send competent people to watch. He reminded again: I heard that 20th Century Fox is very likely to disband the original animation department.

Verify the authenticity of this news. Ronan said without hesitation: If 20th Century Fox really does this, notify me as soon as possible.

It seems that the six major Hollywood companies have disbanded the original animation film production departments and instead acquired those independent animation studios.
