The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 982: A thank you

With the current situation of the Oscars, the Oscar public relations consumption of any film is rising like the price of goods. Any Hollywood film company will carefully weigh whether the investment and output will be proportional before the Olympic film. Otherwise, any film will be expensive. Rushing into this Oscar high consumption will only make the company go bankrupt.

There is no doubt that the high consumption level of Oscar public relations has always been high, and the North American box office that Curseful of Golden Flowers may reach seems to be not cost-effective in supporting Oscar public relations, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of marketing.

Sitting at a small round table, after watching the screening lively, Ronan asked Connie who was sitting at the same table: How do you feel?

It feels very imposing. Connie said honestly: Although the story is not clear, the film is full of momentum and the colors are very gorgeous. It seems to be a step further than Ten Faces of Haze.

Ronan took a sip from his water glass. The momentum brought by the large-scale group gymnastics was majestic. No wonder he was later appointed as the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony.

I don't think anyone is more suitable than him.

Back to this video.

It's a pity that chrysanthemums haven't really become a popular vocabulary in this era, otherwise they wouldn't be so big that people can't take their attention away.

It is estimated that many people remember that song.

The chrysanthemum is broken, your buttocks are full of bruises, your underwear has turned yellow...

Connie's reminder interrupted Ronan's random thoughts: Director Zhang has brought someone over.

When Ronan came back to his senses, he happened to see Director Zhang bringing an oriental girl over. The girl looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Good evening, Ronan. Director Zhang knew that Ronan could speak Chinese, so he didn't say hello in English, which he was not used to at all.

Ronan stood up and shook hands with him, and also said in Chinese: Zhang, we are old friends, so don't be so polite.

Director Zhang exchanged some greetings, shook hands with Connie, then called the girl forward, and said, Ronan, do you still remember Miss Wan?

Luo Nan felt familiar, but couldn't remember, and asked in Chinese: Miss Wan, have we met before?

The girl was very polite. Seeing that Ronan couldn't remember, she quickly introduced herself: Hello, Mr. Anderson, I'm Wanqian. I was your temporary translator and guide at the Shanghai International Film Festival a few years ago. .”

Hearing this, Ronan thought about it, couldn't help but patted his forehead, and said apologetically: I'm really sorry, Miss Wan, it's my fault, I actually forgot about it.

Looking at Ronan's apologetic face, Wanqian suddenly felt that this Hollywood super tycoon and world-renowned super rich man was different from those top figures she had come into contact with in the past, and had a rare sense of sincerity.

Director Zhang thought about it when he saw Luo Nan, and interjected at the right time: Miss Wan also plays a role in this film...

Choosing Wanqian to play a supporting actress was also his decision, and bringing Wanqian here was also the result of careful consideration.

But the effect seems to be normal, Ronan Anderson has obviously forgotten about this girl.

Both of you, please sit down. Ronan greeted, and waited for the two to sit down, temporarily ignoring Director Zhang: Miss Wan, I didn't expect to meet you again in Los Angeles.

Wanqian said with a smile: I am also very surprised.

Ronan said: I didn't expect Miss Wan to enter the showbiz.

Wanqian looked very quiet, and said deliberately: I also want to thank Director Zhang, who gave me a chance. She is a smart girl, knowing that she does not belong to Hollywood, and it is difficult to stay in Hollywood. Director Zhang is the key to the future: After I graduated, I was depressed for a few years. If it wasn't for Director Zhang, I might be useless.

Depression? Ronan was curious: Now that I think about it, I still remember that you were a sunny and cheerful girl...

Wanqian smiled embarrassedly: I am addicted to games and live in the virtual world every day.

Ronan nodded slightly: You are worthy of congratulations for being able to get rid of it. He then said to Director Zhang: Zhang, you have discovered another good actor.

Director Zhang said with a smile: Xiao Wan is a piece of jade in the rough, her potential is not inferior to that of Li Zao.

Ronan didn't notice her in the movie at all, so he couldn't comment on this, so he replied casually: It's really good.

Director Zhang's heart skipped a beat: Mr. Anderson, the media is saying that this year is a small year for North American movies...

Ronan knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted him at the right time: Zhang, Curse of the Golden Armor is your collaboration with Sony Classics, not Relativity Entertainment.

Speaking of which, he glanced at Wanqian, and changed to before...

Unfortunately, ever since Will Smith collapsed on the sofa in St. Mary's Hospital after being frightened, Ronan's mentality has changed, and many thoughts are different from before.

Gradually recalling the memories of a few years ago, Wanqian left a very good impression on him, and Ronan felt that the impression of this good girl should be kept, instead of destroying it himself.

Ronan told Connie: Miss Wan helped me back then, and I never thanked her. Take Miss Wan to find Finch and get a New Year's gift package prepared by the company for VIPs.

When Wanqian heard this, she hurriedly wanted to refuse.

This is my apology and thank you for being late. Ronan said very seriously: Miss Wan, this is just a souvenir to keep good memories, please don't refuse, okay?

Wanqian herself had a very good impression of Ronan, and immediately said with a smile, Thank you.

She didn't stay here anymore, and followed Connie away.

Director Zhang said at this time: Mr. Anderson is as kind as ever.

Ronan smiled: She helped me, and I should be grateful. He simply said directly: Zhang, what do you need from me? We have been friends for many years, so feel free to say something.

Director Zhang is not embarrassed at all. The Oscar statuette has always been his entanglement, and it is not so easy to get rid of it.

Moreover, he has hit the Oscar several times in a row, which also gave him a certain judgment on the situation of hedging against the Olympic situation. This Golden Armor in the City is doomed to be disappointed.

Every time I started with hope, every time I ended in failure...

Among them, the ups and downs, the ridicule of the media, and the bewilderment of his peers, only he himself has a deep understanding.

But thinking of Li An, there is always an inexplicable bitterness.

Ang Lee won the best foreign language film statuette first, and last year won the best director. What is the reason?

Isn't it the young man opposite?

Some things, after reaching that point, it’s not so difficult to speak up. Director Zhang tentatively asked: Ronan, you are the best producer in Hollywood. Relativity Entertainment invests in producing so many films every year. Do you think there is something suitable for me? ?

Ronan sighed softly: Zhang, Relativity Entertainment's production style and route don't match your directing style.

Director Zhang wanted to defend himself, but Ronan raised his hand to stop him: Listen to me, Zhang, you are an oriental film master and an internationally renowned director, whether there is an Oscar statuette or not, this will not change in any way.

Hearing Ronan's words, Director Zhang choked back the words.

Seeing that Hero made Relativity Entertainment earn tens of millions of dollars, Ronan simply said: Oscar is a fame and fortune game, which belongs to Hollywood's fame and fortune game. It is not friendly to outsiders, unless you want to Make a complete change like Ang Lee, but in that case, is it still your work?

Having said all that, Ronan said no more, and bid farewell at the right time: It's getting late, I'm leaving first, you are welcome to come to the Relativity Building when you have time.

Director Zhang got up and shook hands with Ronan, and sent him all the way to the entrance of the venue. When he came back, he had a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he had considered Ronan's words.

Ronan met Connie and Finch, and got into the car straight out of the hotel.

As for what Director Zhang would think over there, it was not up to him to decide.

This is not the first time Ronan has reminded him, but it will be the last time. As long as this film master puts down his obsession with Oscar, his own level is beyond doubt.

Connie next to her said at this time: I gave the gift to Miss Wan, and she asked me to thank you. In addition, I gave her my contact information. She is in trouble in Los Angeles, and she can call me at any time.

Ronan nodded slightly: Just watch and deal with it.

Regarding Wanqian, and things related to her, it is the end when it comes to Connie.

Connie didn't speak any more, feeling vaguely that something had changed about her boss, but she couldn't tell exactly what had changed.

Finch was just being a bodyguard and security assistant, and such things were beyond his concern.

Golden Armor in the City has started to be screened in North America, and the word-of-mouth has exceeded Ronan's expectations. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 72% at the beginning, and the average score of idb audience has reached 73 points. The indiscriminate bombardment of the media and the attacks on the Internet seem to be much better.

In fact, Zhang's three martial arts masterpieces, that is, the three films that are ambitious to enter the Olympics, have a good reputation in North America, but his mind may be focused on the Oscars and overseas audiences, ignoring the most fundamental feelings of domestic audiences.

As Ronan said, the Oscars are a game of fame and fortune in Hollywood, and the audience on the other side of the Pacific is where Zhang stands.

What was even more unexpected was that, among the top ten global films of the year announced by Time, Curse of the Golden Flower was impressively listed!

Facing these situations, Ronan didn't know what to say.

I just hope that Director Zhang won't be fooled by the North American media.

In the next few days, Director Zhang also visited the Theory of Relativity Building. Ronan did not mention the previous incident, but warmly received him and his party.

It is estimated that this great director may not have time to take care of Oscar in the future, and soon someone from there will directly order him.

In the prosperity of the whole country, the crucial opening ceremony of course requires a person who can hold the stage as the director.

It was indeed an incomparable grand event, probably no other event in the history of the Olympics could compare with it.

Ronan didn't pay too much attention to the people or things there. At this stage, the competition in the North American awards season has entered the hottest stage.
