Chapter 185: Shocking Weeping

? "Have you bought a movie?" Chris asked in a low voice.
Ronan thought for a while and said: "Armstrong of Embassy Pictures signed a Swedish film yesterday, which cost $200,000. I don't know what the prospects are."
Chris asked curiously: "Swedish movies? Are they going to be shown in theaters?"
Ronan shook his head: "Directly enter the offline market, the cost of going online is too high, and it is easy to lose money."
Chris has worked with Ronan many times, knowing that he has an unusual vision, and tentatively asked: "What about you? Do you have any movies you'd like?"
Ronan smiled and said: "This "Dancer in the Dark" is very good, but if you like it, I won't grab it with you. It's just cheap for the Danish."
Ronan would definitely not tell the truth about this kind of thing, and asked: "What about you? Are there any movies you're fancying?"
""Dancer in the Dark."
When he got an unexpected answer, Ronan didn’t ask any more, and went to greet a few familiar directors and actors. Although they were all Europeans, maybe they would have a film suitable for the Embassy Pictures. .
Soon, Ronan came to a middle-aged couple.
"Hello, Mr. Caso. Hello, Miss Bellucci." Ronan shook hands with Monica Bellucci and Vincent Caso and introduced himself: "I am from the American Relativity Entertainment. Ronan Anderson."
Vincent Casso shook hands with Ronan first: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Then Monica Bellucci also shook hands with Ronan: "It's very nice to meet you."
Vincent Caso is a lanky and tall man. Monica Bellucci looks stronger than him, but the wide frame can't weaken the charm of Monica Bellucci's figure.
It is a pity that Monica Bellucci is getting older and is approaching the age of beauty.
God is fair, even if the maintenance is very good, once a woman gets older, as long as she does not make up, her face is often very different from the carefully posed photos.
Especially in the actor industry, various makeup performances for a long time can cause great damage to the skin. As we age, it is often unbearable to watch without makeup.
The so-called frozen age actress, it is not the maintenance and natural beauty that freezes the appearance, but the means of makeup, plastic surgery and photo editing.
Although Monica Bellucci's figure is still there, but seeing the crow's feet piled up in the corners of her eyes and sagging facial skin, thinking about the age of nearly fifteen years old, Ronan admired this past life when she went to school The Italian goddess of related art scenes over and over again, without any interest.
Compared to Monica Bellucci herself, he is more interested in Monica Bellucci's movies.
"Miss Bellucci." Ronan asked politely: "I occasionally heard that you and Director Giuseppe Tonadore filmed a "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". May I ask when this movie will be released."
Monica Bellucci's English is not very good, and her pronunciation is a bit awkward: "It will be released in Italy in October this year."
Ronan asked again: "I take the liberty to ask, has "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" found a distributor in North America?" He saw Monica Bellucci face to face with doubts and said, "I have a publishing company. Distribute movies all over the world."
Monica Bellucci looked at Ronan’s young face, somewhat surprised, and said politely:
This film already has a North American distributor. Miramax is one of the film’s investors. They will Published in North America."
Hearing the name Miramax, Ronan glanced at Monica Bellucci subconsciously, and the thought that the cabbage was arched by the pig flashed through his mind.
"It's a pity," Ronan said, "I have always been a fan of Miss Monica, and I really want to release a movie starring Miss Monica."
He handed out the business card in due course, first handed it to Vincent Caso, and then to Monica Bellucci: "If there is no suitable distributor for the movie starring Miss Monica in the future, you can contact me."
Monica Bellucci has been famous for many years, so she solemnly collected her business card and said with a smile, "It will be."
Ronan left immediately. Monica Bellucci's most famous film as the heroine is undoubtedly "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". This film was very famous in the past life and its spread is extremely wide. Even if the theater performance is average, offline The rental and sales market in China can also make a lot of money.
It's a pity that the good cabbage is really overwhelmed by pigs.
Ronan suddenly thought of another thing. It seems that "Irrevocable" came out shortly after "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". The ten minutes in the middle and ten minutes at the end of the film were once responsible for the traffic of indescribable websites, especially in the middle. The ten-minute scene, it is said that when the movie first came out, it had a shocking effect.
This film seems to have an offline market. I hope Monica Bellucci can call him.
As for the online market, Ronan has the impression that this film seems to be banned from theaters in most markets because of the ten minutes in between.
It is said that when this film appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, it caused an uproar, and the festival organizing committee had to withdraw the film forcibly.
When she was a student, actresses such as Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, Nicole Kidman and others who dared to devote themselves to art spent a lot of boring time with Ronan.
Cannes is rich in this type of film. Ronan has studied it in depth. For example, the French national treasure-level actress Isabel Huppert starred in "Mother, the Limit of Love", where the heroine and the son in the film did The indescribable...
The film was so shocking that even the Cannes Film Festival, which had always been open, had to pull down the film at the last minute and refused to show it.
I don’t know if Isabel Huppert has a biological son...
Perhaps even the Americans can't understand the views of the French in this regard.
Ronan also met Alessandro Inarido, one of the three best in Mexico, and chatted with him for a while. Unfortunately, the film "Love is a bitch" in which he participated in the competition unit also found a North American distributor.
Most of the films that can enter the main competition unit have been watched.
On the following day, Ronan watched Yang Dechang's "Yi Yi", Aoyama Shinji's "Man-made Paradise" and Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming."
If I remember correctly, "The Devil Is Coming" won the jury award of this film festival.
Ronan also considered whether to talk to Jiang Wen about the introduction of "The Devil Is Coming", and he has heard that the North American distribution rights of this film have not been sold, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up.
After all, this film has annoyed many people over there, and his embassy film industry is opening up the distribution market there. There is no need to cause misunderstandings because of this small profit.
As for Jiang Wen, after the beauty of the Cannes Film Festival, he will be in luck when he goes back.
With the help of Sony Entertainment's introduction, Ronan took time to visit Yang Dechang. Although the film copyright of "Yi Yi" has been sold, there is a possibility of cooperation in the future.
Yang Dechang's reputation in North America is also very loud.
In some ways, Ronan also wanted to see Yang Dechang with his own eyes. In his previous life, the "Guling Street Juvenile Murder" left him too deep.
There is also the young Zhang Zhen.
"The Juvenile Murder on Guling Street" was later borrowed and changed countless names.
"Ronan, Robert called an hour ago."
Back at the hotel, Assistant Connie said: "He said that the Embassy Pictures office in the East is officially listed today."
Ronan nodded: "I see." He looked at the time: "Tomorrow you call back, and everything is done according to plan."
"Okay." Connie noted in her work log.
Ronan asked again: "How is Armstrong?"
Connie said: "They focused on a German film today, and they plan to meet with each other tomorrow."
"Yeah." Ronan replied and asked, "Small cost movies?"
"Yes." Connie replied.
Ronan didn't ask any more. The division of labor was clearer. Armstrong and others paid attention to the lower-cost movies, and Ronan was personally responsible for the more interesting movies.
Compared to others, Ronan hasn’t made any progress for the time being. Many literary films look good, but the producers offer high prices. Although the film does have quality assurance, it is limited to the audience. If the purchase price is too high, the price You may lose money every minute.
For many art films, no matter how good the quality is, the marketing is also very good, and the result is often that the output cannot match the input.
This is determined by the general environment of the film market.
Like "Dancer in the Dark", Ronan feels that the film is working well, and may be nominated for Golden Globe or Oscars, but it is difficult for the North American box office to spend more than 5 million US dollars.
Coupled with the cost of publicity, it is very uneconomical to buy North American copyright for US$5 million.
However, Ronan had already found his target, and he decided on the second day he came to Cannes.
It is a film that works well and is very likely to produce great value.
Ronan asked Connie again: "What happened to what I asked you to do?"
Connie quickly found an invitation letter: "This is the premiere invitation requested from the organizing committee~EbookFREE.me~ I have contacted the crew. This film does not participate in the competition unit, it is just a screening. , The distribution copyright in the North American copyright area is still in the hands of the producer."
Ronan did not speak, thinking silently.
"There are also other companies paying attention to this film." Connie continued: "Ann Lee is also a very famous director in North America. She directed "Sense and Emotion" and won an Oscar nomination."
"However, because of the subject matter of this film, the attention it has received is far less than that of An-Li's previous works."
Ronan knows this very well. Martial arts films have an audience in the West, but they have always belonged to niche films among the niche.
It's okay if it's a kung fu movie, but the martial arts movie that flies around is probably not understood by most Westerners. This is precisely where his advantage lies.
Connie added: "The premiere will be tomorrow afternoon, and the producer and director will be there."
