The Best Entertainment Era

Returning to Los Angeles from New York, Ronan accepted Harvey Weinstein's invitation to attend the premiere of Sin City produced by Dimension Films.

This film with a very special style once left a deep impression on Ronan.

Especially female characters.

Like Jessica Alba and Eva Green.

The former's hip dance made her famous, and the latter's image of barely wearing clothes can be called a model of femme fatale.

However, once Eva Green was a character who only appeared in the sequel.

The most watched actress at the premiere was Jessica Alba.

As for Devon Aoki, Lafayette's darling in the fashion circle, Ronan directly ignored him.

It can only be said that my aesthetics are very normal.

In the VIP room of the theater, Ronan said to Connie who was following him: There is no distortion.

Having been by Ronan's side for so many years, Connie understands the boss's character, and occasionally she would make a few harmless jokes: Devon Aoki is a popular supermodel in the fashion circle, and Karl Lagerfeld believes that she has a kind of personality that is difficult for ordinary people to match. high-end beauty.

Ronan asked: I'd better keep the aesthetics at the low end.

Connie couldn't help laughing.

Ronan saw the well-dressed Jessica Alba walking towards him, and said, Look, this is the beauty recognized by the public.

Jessica Alba came to Ronan with a smile and said hello: Good evening, Ronan.

Ronan shook hands with her lightly: Hello, Jesse, you are so beautiful tonight.

Thank you. Jessica Alba smiled brighter.

She didn't care about the eyes cast from her surroundings, and she was talking to Ronan enthusiastically.

Now who doesn't know in the circle, she is working with Ronan in James Cameron's big project.

The modeling work for the heroine is basically completed. Jessica Alba briefly talked about the situation on the Wellington crew: But for the shooting, I don't know when it will start. It is estimated that it will be next year at the earliest. middle.

Ronan said: It's God's blessing that we can start filming in the middle of next year.

There are too many preparations for this film, and James Cameron is a person who strives for excellence. If he is not fully prepared, he will definitely not officially start shooting.

It is said that during the filming of Titanic, because the tableware prepared by the crew was not engraved with the words Titanic, which is unreadable in the shot, James Cameron interrupted the shooting and asked the crew to go to the porcelain factory to order again. Doing new cutlery cost the crew hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The person in charge of the 20th Century Fox production team got angry and quarreled with James Cameron on the set.

What 20th Century Fox did during the filming of Titanic played a key role in James Cameron's ability to ditch 20th Century Fox and work with Ronan instead.

Do you have time tomorrow? Jessica Alba suddenly asked: My brother's girlfriend is going to come to my house as a guest, and I'm going to hold a big party, can you come?

If it was a few years ago, Ronan would definitely agree to Jessica Alba's invitation, but now he can only decline: Sorry, I have a lot of things on my side, I'm afraid I don't have time.

Jessica Alba said, It's okay.

She then offered her farewell, and when she shook hands with Ronan, she didn't know if it was unintentional or not, and her little finger lightly swiped across Ronan's palm.

Ronan didn't seem to notice it, he was completely a gentleman.

Having said that, some things really cannot be risky, and I would rather believe it or not.

Otherwise, if you get caught, you won't even be able to cry.

Connie reminded: Director Rodriguez is here.

Ronan also saw that Robert Rodriguez, the director of Sin City, was walking past him.

Good evening, Ronan. Robert Rodriguez, as the director of the film, was as enthusiastic as the owner: It is our honor that you can come to the premiere.

Ronan smiled and shook hands with him: You don't need to be so polite. I came here this time for the purpose of learning from it.

Robert Rodriguez looked puzzled: Where does this start?

Ronan said: The Theory of Relativity Entertainment Investment adapted and filmed another work of Mr. Frank Miller, Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta. In terms of the style of the original work, it is in the same line as Sin City.

Yes, I remembered. Robert Rodriguez said with a smile: I originally thought about this work, but unfortunately I let you do it first.

Ronan took the opportunity to say: It doesn't matter, there is no Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, we can also cooperate on other film projects.

Of course, Robert Rodriguez would not refuse, saying: It may take a while before I can talk to you about cooperation with Ronan. He said bluntly: Quentin and I are preparing to shoot a mill movie.

The so-called mill movie refers to some movie theaters in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, which were in disrepair for a long time, and had to show small-scale B-level movies that sold sex and gore. peak.

Although this type of movie is synonymous with crude production, it has a considerable audience in North America, especially the offline rental market.

Ronan is no stranger to this, because before he took over Sandsea Entertainment, it was actually shooting Grindhouse movies that were released in the video market.

The Grindhouse movie is a product of the last century. Ronan said to Robert Rodriguez: But I think there is a lot to do in the DVD market. Sandsea Entertainment actually started out with the Grindhouse movie, and we can do it in this respect. Find a basis for cooperation...

It seems that after 2010, Robert Rodriguez teamed up with a very distinctive Hollywood actor to film the Machete trilogy.

Connie quietly reminded Ronan at this time.

Harvey Weinstein's voice came over: Ronan, how can you poach someone at Dimension's premiere?

Ronan replied: I was talking about the Grind Mill movie with Robert.

Harvey Weinstein smiled and shook hands with Ronan. In fact, he valued Robert Rodriguez far less than Quentin Tarantino, and it was just a joke.

Welcome to the premiere. Harvey Weinstein seemed particularly enthusiastic: Thank you for your support.

Ronan said: Harvey, we are old friends, you are welcome.

Robert Rodriguez saw that Harvey Weinstein and Ronan had something to say, so he left here at the right time.

Ronan asked, How about the new company?

The registration has been completed. Harvey Weinstein said: The deal we have reached has provided me with sufficient funds. Although a lot of funds still need to be resolved through financing, Bob and I can guarantee enough shares. To really take control of the new company.

Ronan nodded slightly: Congratulations.

Harvey Weinstein smiled with real relief: The darkest hour is finally over, and the sky is... light.

Ronan couldn't help laughing: The Queen project has been negotiated?

It's settled. Harvey Weinstein said: After you voluntarily withdraw, they have no better choice but to cooperate with me.

He invited: Ronan, are you really not going to participate in my new company?

Rona shook her head: Forget it, Harvey, many of my habits will cause conflicts with the company's management. Besides, aren't we cooperating on distribution?

With the conclusion of the deal between Relativity Entertainment and the Weinstein brothers, the newly established Weinstein Films by the Weinstein brothers will be handed over to Embassy Pictures for a long time to come in terms of international distribution.

I heard that you were active in New York some time ago, lobbying for Roy Disney? Harvey Weinstein asked tentatively, Are you planning to support Roy Disney?

Ronan said very seriously: Yes, Michael Eisner once embarrassed Relativity Entertainment on Pirates of the Caribbean, Roy Disney also promised that as long as Michael Eisner stepped down, Disney would fully support Relativity Entertainment Enter the MPAA.

Harvey Weinstein said: Yeah, no one likes the tyrant Michael Eisner.

Ronan said with a smile: Relativity Entertainment is also a big or small shareholder of Disney. The stable development of Disney is in the interests of Relativity Entertainment.

Harvey Weinstein: Want to see Michael Eisner's face when he steps down.

Ronan laughed: There will be a chance, Harvey, just wait patiently, it's only a few months.

Harvey Weinstein nodded, Ronan's attitude was very clear, Roy Disney should be relieved.

Thinking about how to call Roy Disney after the premiere, Harvey Weinstein said to Ronan: We may compete for Oscars in the future.

Ronan said, It's inevitable.

Harvey Weinstein knew that after leaving Disney, he couldn't provoke Ronan even more, and said: Ronan, I can guarantee that no matter how fierce the competition is, it will stay within the normal business scope.

He didn't want to break up his good relationship with Ronan because of some rumors.

Ronan said: I can also guarantee this.

The two laughed at the same time.

In the short term, Relativity Entertainment and Weinstein Films will be partners.

As for a longer period of time, business matters will change with the market and time, who can guarantee who will be a permanent ally?

Harvey Weinstein looked at a place in the VIP room at this time, and invited: Ronan, introduce someone to you. The investor of the new company is also a major shareholder.

Ronan asked curiously, Do I know you?

I probably don't know him. Harvey Weinstein led him over there: He is a newcomer to the Hollywood film industry.

Ronan thought it would be Miss Zeng Lizao's beach boyfriend, but after seeing him, he was somewhat surprised.

The other party is very young, younger than him.

Harvey Weinstein was the first to introduce: Ronan, this is David Ellison.
