The Best Entertainment Era

In the studio of the embassy film industry, the senior management of the company gathered together, all of them watched the film being screened intently.

Mel Gibson, with a somewhat wild appearance, sat quietly on the sofa chair, looking past Monica Bellucci next to him and falling on Ronan Anderson on the other side from time to time.

Whether the film can get the green light from the embassy film industry depends entirely on this young man.

Although Mel Gibson is a wild man with a bad temper, he is more or less reliable when he doesn't drink alcohol.

Besides, in the recent period of time, because of the bloody encounters with this film, which is related to an investment of 30 million US dollars, if you have a temper or an idea, you have to bear it for the time being.

For the US market, this is a foreign language film, and the dialogue is all in Latin and Aramaic, but fortunately there are subtitles.

To a certain extent, this is a very documentary and expressive film.

But the culture in it is something that people like Ronan can't understand at all.

The understanding of Jesus basically stays on Da Vinci's The Last Supper.

The film was shot very bloody, and the scale was relatively large. If the Embassy Pictures sent it to the rating committee, it might encounter some troubles, but before the filming meeting started, he had an exchange with Mel Gibson, and Aiken Films had already Sent for rating, MPAA rated R.

If they really cooperate, this will also reduce some troubles for the embassy film industry.

After understanding the basic situation with Mel Gibson, Ronan also roughly understood why he hit a wall everywhere before. At the very beginning, Mel Gibson didn't intend to add subtitles to the film!

How many people can understand Latin and Aramaic today?

Constantly bumping into walls also broke up Mel Gibson's idealistic thoughts and gradually became realistic.

The version shown by the embassy film company not only added English subtitles, but also appropriately deleted some too bloody scenes.

For directors and producers, compromise is also an art.

Monica Bellucci starred in the film as Mary Magdalene.

This name suddenly reminded Ronan of a neglected movie - The Da Vinci Code.

Speaking of which, the content of The Da Vinci Code is even more sensitive than The Passion of Christ, and it simply subverts the tradition of the church.

Let people look back to see if this book has been published.

It seems that it and the movie have caused a sensation, and even involved the glass pyramid of the Louvre or something.

After the movie screening is over, the lights are turned on, and the filming will temporarily come to an end.

Mel Gibson immediately stood up, walked to Ronan, and asked in a low voice, Mr. Anderson, is this film okay?

This person spoke loudly, and his daily behavior was somewhat rude. Ronan turned a blind eye to it. After all, he was just talking about business, not making friends with him.

Very good movie. Ronan said all formulaic words: Very impactful work.

Mel Gibson was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, smiled and said, I hope we can cooperate.

For the sake of future negotiations, Ronan would not give him too much hope at this time, and said politely: I hope so. He glanced at the embassy film executives who were walking out one after another: Mr. Gibson, please wait a moment. We will discuss it for a while.

In this situation, Mel Gibson was a little patient and said, Okay, please.

Leaving the film room, Ronan went directly to the conference room on the other side, including García Rodriguez, who were discussing the film The Passion of the Christ.

Ronan patted his palm lightly: Tell me what you think.

Alan Albert, Director of Overseas Distribution Department, was the first to speak: The risk is great. This is a foreign language film, and foreign language films have always been poor at the box office in North America.

R-rated movies. said Terry, director of offline distribution: This is a disadvantage.

Ronan said: These are my concerns too.

Danny Donald said at this time: Will the content of the film cause controversy?

I'm afraid the film is not controversial. Publicity Director David Villa said: Not to mention the content of the film, from the point of view of controversy, this is a very selling film.

Ronan has made a lot of publicity suggestions with the propaganda department in the past few years, probably influenced by Ronan, and David Villa increasingly feels that controversy is not a bad thing.

Thomas from the theatrical distribution department also thinks this is not a bad thing, saying: If the film can bring controversy, even if there is no selling point, we can create a selling point.

Alan Albert is still more cautious: Controversy is indeed not a bad thing, but as far as the content of this film is concerned, will controversy become criticism?

Ronan looked at Garcia-Rodriguez: What do you think?

Garcia-Rodriguez said: The concern of criticism is that it may involve religious and some ethnic issues. I am not good at judging films, but we can let go of the concern of criticism.

He looked at Alan Albert and said with a smile: We are just the distributor and have nothing to do with the creation of the film. Even if there are criticisms, there are still producers and Mel Gibson in front.

David Villa suddenly thought of the original The Blair Witch, and said: Even if there are criticisms, you can push the main creative team to the front. This is the treatment they deserve.

Garcia-Rodriguez added: Even if there is really criticism, even if we do nothing, it will not reach our side. With Mel Gibson's character and temper, if someone attacks this film, he will definitely Burning with rage, stealing everyone's attention.

Thomas continued: So, don't worry about the objective conditions.

Alan Albert considered these words carefully and said: None of these seem to be problems. The rest is whether we want to win this film.

Ronan said directly: Let's negotiate with Mel Gibson, it's best to buy out this film.

Garcia-Rodriguez answered: Strive to buy out, but it is difficult to buy out such a film.

Ronan picked up the phone: Which specific transaction method, you can decide according to the situation.

You are not here, and it seems that the company does not attach importance to this film. David Thomas said with a smile: Garcia is also easy to lower the conditions.

Ronan smiled, didn't say much, and left the Embassy Pictures directly.

Before leaving the office building where the embassy film industry is located, Monica Bellucci chased after her.

Ronan! she called.

Miss Bellucci. Ronan turned to look at her: Why are you here?

Monica Bellucci was with Mel Gibson when they left the film room.

Monica Bellucci shook the mobile phone in her hand, said with a smile: I came out to make a call, and I happened to see you.

Where do so many coincidences come from? Ronan didn't reveal it, and said, I have something to do today, I'll talk about it when I have time.

Monica Bellucci tentatively asked: Are you no longer talking to Director Gibson?

Ronan showed an apologetic smile: I have something urgent to deal with.

Of course Monica Bellucci wouldn't believe Ronan's words, and immediately had a guess in her mind that Ronan didn't pay much attention to Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.

The odds are high...

Ronan waved his hand: I'll go first, goodbye.

Monica Bellucci smiled: Goodbye.

Seeing Ronan leaving the gate of the office building, Monica Bellucci hurriedly edited a text message and sent it to Mel Gibson.

The film had already missed out on many distributors, except for New Markets, which she had never heard of, and only Relativity Entertainment was willing to talk to the producer.

Ronan returned to Relativity Entertainment and received a call from Tony Koch. During the Cannes Film Festival, Florian Donasma, who was recommended by Tony Koch, has been filmed with the help of a producer hired by Sandsea Entertainment. The preparatory work for Eavesdropping Storm has been completed, and it is about to enter the shooting stage. It is expected that all shooting will be completed before the end of the year, and all production will be completed by the end of April.

The director wants to participate in the three major European film festivals.

The operation of the Runaway Awards was originally planned by Ronan. This kind of typical political film is still a German film, and there is nothing more suitable than the Berlin Film Festival.

Ronan sent an email to the overseas distribution department of the embassy film industry, asking them to apply for the competition unit of next year's Berlin Film Festival for Eavesdropping Storm.

Maybe bring back a Berlin Golden Bear for Relativity Entertainment.

After dealing with these, Ronan contacted the crew of Survival in the Wild far away in Amazon at night.

This reality show, which is destined to shape the man standing at the top of the food chain, has gone through dangerous environments such as glaciers, deserts, swamps and wastelands, and entered the tropical rainforest of South America.

Despite encountering various difficulties and several injuries, the program crew persisted, especially the performance of Bear Grylls, which surprised many people.

After filming in the South American jungle, the crew of Survival in the Wild will return to Los Angeles to start the same intense post-production.

It's one of the opening plays for Netflix's streaming business next year.

Another big opener is Prison Break.

The crew has been formed and the director has a suitable candidate. In order to ensure the success of the opening drama, Sandsea Entertainment has invested heavily and hired Brett Ratner, who has directed Rush Hour and Red Dragon, as the director. job.

Brett Ratner is not a figure at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, but he is in the middle part, but he is the backbone of this solid industrial chain.

In addition, Brett - Ratner's reputation is not very good in some respects, it is said that he often harassed the actresses on the set.

These are of course nothing to the production company. The first thing a production company considers when inspecting directors is business ability. Now it is too far away from the rise of Mitu. Before that time, Shahai Entertainment will end and Bright- Ratner's collaboration.

Besides, this crew is basically all male actors.

And Ronan intends to use a strong actor as the male lead.
