Chapter 130: Pay him to death

Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a recommendation ticket!
The screening was about to begin. While the lights on the ceiling had not been extinguished, Ronan carefully observed in the theater. Although "Ace Agents" was small in scale, it was very targeted. Some viewers entered the film. Hall, but the number of people is not too much.
Roughly counting, about 20 people, there are males and females, and the majority of men are "sex", more than two-thirds.
The lights were pretty bright, Ronan could distinguish men and women, but he couldn't see ethnicity from behind, but vaguely saw many blacks.
This kind of movie where ethnic minorities play the leading role is really awesome by the black uncles.
Now the reality is that the proportion of white audiences in theaters is gradually decreasing, and the proportion of minority audiences is steadily increasing. This is also related to the social environment. Ronan has read relevant reports and the proportion of whites in the United States is also declining year by year. The number of blacks has increased very rapidly.
If the positions of the two sides suddenly reversed at any time in the future, the Bai Zuo people would really pit themselves.
Ronan is a pseudo-white leftist and a pseudo-progressive person. There is no doubt that there are many people like him in North America.
Even with the knowledge of the previous life, he couldn't understand what the "True-White Zuo" actually thought.
Maybe they all went to the Arkham Asylum to study and study?
As the saying goes, the Black Gate Prison is responsible for physical training, but Arkham is the all-round spiritual guide.
Hemon teaches pediatrics, and Arkham is the place that really makes people reborn.
The film began to be shown, first with the opening of the distributor's Embassy Pictures, then the desert by the producer Shahai Entertainment, and then the film began in a ping-pong-pong action scene.
Compared with the previous "Ace Agents" with various black technologies and big scenes of action shots, this "Ace Agents" is too shabby, there is basically no black technology, and the fight basically depends on shaking...
The action shots taken by Paul Greengrass already have the shadow of the action style of "The Bournemouth 2".
The sharp editing creates a bullet-like rhythm, and the simple plot is clear at a glance. With the addition of agents and actions, this film is still attractive.
The plot of the film is very simple. It is almost the same as that of the previous life. It is roughly that the actor’s father sacrificed when he was trained by a world "sex" agent organization. The actor grew up happily with the official and responsible funding of Abu Dhabi until One day a group of white terrorists suddenly appeared in Abu Dhabi, causing serious injuries to the Arab officials who funded him. The hero learned about his father’s glorious deeds from the dying Arab officials. He looked at the dead officials and the innocent people everywhere and decided to find Organize, join the organization.
The protagonist used his father’s belongings to successfully join the organization. The teacher is a black, and the classmates around are all ethnic minorities. The only white person is still a bad guy and a soft guy...
Traitors appeared in the organization, colluded with terrorists, killed black teachers, and wanted to use phone cards to drive people all over the world crazy in order to achieve the purpose of healing the planet.
Then the protagonist and his companions rushed into the lair of terrorists. Under the background of people going crazy all over the world, they killed all the white terrorists, saved the world, and found a beauty by the way.
The routine is very traditional, but the style is very unique.
Fortunately, the shaking shots in this film belong to technical "sexual" shaking. Unlike the dizziness-like shaking of Blair the Witch, the 2d movie does not look dizzy.
Ronan has seen this "Ace Agent" many times in post-production, but it looks very different from the drawing room on the big screen.
Probably because I naturally like this kind of pure entertainment film relationship, watching on the big screen can more mobilize hormones.
Of course, there are almost no big scenes in the film, no skydiving training, no Hundred People Killing, and no headshot fireworks.
Then there is the Swedish princess Madeleine. The other party is still a young girl. Ronan is not shameless enough to insinuate minors. The beauty is just looking for the heir of the so-called multinational group.
The film screening ended without applause or curse. Just like most movies, the audience's pastime and entertainment ended, they packed their moods and left and continued their daily life.
While the light was on, Ronan took a quick observation. As expected, most of the 20 or so viewers were ethnic minorities, and there were more than 15 visually.
Out of the theater, someone was doing an on-site survey of the theater and was asking a black audience.
"I think I can play b. The action scene is great!" said the black man: "It would be better if there are more black characters in the "color" scene."
When Ronan passed by, the man wanted to stop him, Ronan waved his hand and walked away.
Later, Ronan went to another theater near the minority community, and the attendance rate of this theater was significantly higher than before.
After watching three theaters in a row, Ronan had the most intuitive feeling that the film "Ace Agent" is unlikely to hit the box office, but it will not be a big hit.
On Saturday morning, relevant statistical data was sent to the Embassy Pictures and also passed to Ronan. The film’s opening day in 1,500 theaters earned US$1.45 million.
The box office of a single library was close to $1,000, which was slightly better than Ronan expected.
And Saturday's single-day box office rose by a bit, winning $1.55 million.
Three days later in the first weekend, "Ace Agent" earned 4.1 million US dollars in North America.
"Single hall box office is less than 3,000 US dollars, it is impossible to increase the theater."
In Emperor Entertainment’s Los Angeles branch, Miller looked at Thomas on the opposite side and said:
We are very supportive of Embassy Pictures this time, but the box office of this film is average. If it weren’t for the success of Blair the Witch, next week Definitely reduce the screening theater and film schedule."
Thomas said: "The Embassy Pictures is very satisfied to maintain the current number of theaters."
The box office of the film is not strong, and he has no confidence to speak. The Embassy Pictures is not a big company, and everything depends on the market.
Miller is very good at talking: "We had a successful collaboration on "Blair the Witch", so I personally would like to take some pressure for your company to keep "Ace Agent" at the current screening scale."
"Thank you." Thomas knew that this was all false, but he said quickly: "Thank you Mr. Miller for your support."
Miller continued to sell unpaid favors: "Because of the poor box office of this "Ace Agent", the head office once wanted to reduce the number of opening theaters for your other film "Death Is Coming". I tried my best. Fighting for "Reaper Is Here" guarantees that the situation has not changed."
Thomas smiled and said: "Mr. Miller's friendship will be remembered by Embassy Pictures." He took out an invitation letter and handed it over: "The Embassy Pictures welcomes Mr. Miller to the premiere of "Death Is Coming" ."
Miller accepted the invitation and said, "As long as time permits, I will go."
"I won't disturb Mr. Miller's work." Thomas said goodbye and left.
Opening the invitation letter, Miller looked at it, and his gaze finally fell on the person who issued the invitation letter, who was the name Ronan Anderson who had heard many times but had never seen a real person.
Since the success of "Blair the Witch", news of this person has been circulating in several theater companies in North America. As for the content, it is nothing more than how amazing Ronan Anderson is. Two consecutive films with low investment have been a success. , Especially "Blair the Witch".
According to media propaganda and many people’s cognition, the key to the success of "Blair the Witch" is the director and producer Daniel Malick, but those who deal directly with the distribution company know that the development of a series of miraculous styles " "Sao" "Fuck" is Ronan Anderson.
For a time, many people said that Ronan Anderson was a god.
Having been in the film industry for many years, Miller has never believed in the sayings of gods, and there is no so-called gods in the film industry. Even a successful filmmaker will fail.
After only succeeding in two films, Ronan Anderson suffered a failure.
Miller began to worry a little about "Reaper is coming". Once successful producers go downhill, they will often fail one after another. If Ronan Anderson produces this horror film like "Ace Agent", Emperor Entertainment will invest so much. Is more resources appropriate?
If "Reaper Is Coming" has a poor box office in the first week after its release, it is necessary to quickly reduce its screening space.
"Ace Agent"'s $4.1 million box office in the first week did not even make it into the top five in the North American box office rankings that week.
"I just said that he won't have good luck without us."
In an office at the DreamWorks headquarters, Daniel Malick put down his newspaper and said to Edardo Sanziz, who revised the script: "The public cost of "Ace Agent" is $25 million, even if Ronan Anderson is more shameless. Report, there will be a cost of 20 million US dollars, right? With the funds invested in promotion, marketing and distribution, the box office of this film's first weekend of 4.1 million US dollars is definitely a fiasco!"
Although Edardo Sanziz is the second director of "Blair the Witch" ~EbookFREE.me~, but he doesn't know much about Hollywood, he asked, "Will the box office skyrocket?"
Daniel Malick looks like a film market expert: "No! Absolutely not! Like this kind of large-scale commercial film, the box office will only go down!"
He picked up the newspaper and pointed, "Did you see? Cinema predicts that the North American box office of this film will be around 10 million US dollars!"
"Should you lose a lot at this box office?" Ideado Sanziz asked.
Daniel McLaren is showing off what he has just learned: "The box office in North America fails, and it will be even worse overseas. It is estimated that Ronan Anderson can recover 10 million US dollars for this film."
Edyardo Sanzizi couldn't help but laughed: "Pay him to death!"
Daniel Malick also laughed happily: "This movie paid more than 10 million US dollars. Two weeks later, Ronan Anderson also had a "Death Is Coming", and that film paid more than 10 million US dollars. Ronan- Anderson is not far from bankruptcy!"
Edyardo Sanzizi nodded repeatedly: "Will that Ronan Anderson cry?"
Daniel Malik was in a great mood: "I really want to see what his face is now!"
At the same moment, Ronan met Paul Greengrass and his agent Dean in the reception room of Embassy Pictures.
