Chapter 235: Invincible

　　Before the expansion to 2220 theaters, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after a month of click-on and small-scale screenings, the North American box office has accumulated $44.12 million.
　　 This number is not high, but the film has taken a long-term screening route. The previous screening theaters have always been below 500.
　　 The most important thing is that in this month, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has accumulated a very good reputation, with a comprehensive media score of 82 points, a freshness of rotten tomatoes 97%, and an average score of 8.4 points by IMDB fans.
　　 Together with the Golden Globe Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" already has the foundation to expand its screening.
　　 There are a lot of films that performed well during click-to-screen or small-scale screenings. After they were released on a large scale, the box office was sluggish, resulting in poor revenue.
　　 But "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not in this category.
　　 On the first weekend of the large-scale screening, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" scored $18.2 million in 2,220 theaters in North America, rushing to the top three box office charts and occupying the second place.
　　 The box office champion of the week belongs to the newly released "Dancing Passion". The film released by Paramount Pictures earned $23.44 million in its first weekend.
　　 "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" North American box office surpassed 60 million US dollars!
　　 At this point, the box office share alone is enough to ensure that the Embassy Pictures will recover its investment and make a profit.
　　 "Ronan, you made another good deal."
　　 On the golf course in Malibu, Jeff Kasenberg said with admiration: "This film can work successfully."
　　 Ronan watched Will Smith put into the hole and said, "It's mainly because Lee Ang's film is well shot."
　　 Tom Cruise approached him and said, "Your eyes are too poisonous. Can I admire it?"
　　 "Just say it." Ronan said with a smile, "I keep it all."
　　 Will Smith walked over with his cue and said, "Ronan, you bought out the copyright for only eight million dollars. This time you made a fortune!"
　　 Ronan shook his head: "I'm just a little troublemaker, far behind you."
　　 Tom Cruise greeted: "Go, get in the car, let's go to the next hole."
　　 The three people got on the same battery car. The driver of the battery car carefully drove towards the next hole, the speed of which was always very slow.
　　 Tom Cruise asked Ronan: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, can the North American box office exceed 100 million, right?"
　　 Ronan told the truth: "According to the current situation, there should be no problem."
　　 Jeff Kasenberg interjected: "Don't say over 100 million, if you can get a few Oscar nominations, the North American box office is also possible for 150 million US dollars."
Ronan didn’t be polite to these golfers, saying,
It’s up to you. Tom, Will, Jerefer, you are all senior members of the academy. There are many relatives and friends. Help me get a few more tickets. ."
　　 Today I asked these people out to play golf, not to practice golf hole-in technique, but to canvass votes.
　　 From time to time, he played games with these three people, and Ronan was not polite with them.
　　 "Don't worry." Jeff Kasenberg said: "There are a few student members in the animation studio. I will say hello to them, but only for the best foreign language films."
　　 Ronan said with gratitude: "The best foreign language film is enough."
In any case, DreamWorks Animation Studios and DreamWorks Pictures are not separated. "Gladiator" is one of the most popular Oscar movies this year. Jeremy Katzenberg still supports DreamWorks on a large scale. of.
　　 Will Smith said: "Don't worry, Ronan. Our black community likes you very much. The ideas you mentioned are very popular, and they will vote for you."
　　 Ronan said, "Thank you for me. I will treat you after Oscar."
　　 To tell the truth, the black community in Hollywood is very difficult to help, and always use skin color to tell things, but Ronan decided to take the leftist route, and the old blacks can't get around the hurdle.
　　 Fortunately, the black community in Hollywood will be very valuable in the future. In the future, there will be a lot of dark movies.
　　 Replaced with the circle of San Fernando Valley...
　　 There is an unwritten convention in the San Fernando Valley now that famous female artists, if they shoot films with black people, their pay will shrink by at least 50% in the future.
　　 Generally, there is no way to go, and even famous female artists would not make films with black people.
　　Of course, the political correctness storm in Hollywood will also affect the San Fernando Valley in the future, and there will also be more high-end black factory series of female, white and male black.
　　 Tom Cruise, of course, will help Ronan.
　　 In fact, they all know that Ronan, as a fast-growing producer, will only have more and more resources in the future. When they need it, Ronan will help them more as a friend.
　　 The battery car stopped, and several people continued to play.
　　 Ronan poses, looking at the flag waving in the wind in the distance, ready to hit the ball.
　　 "Yes! That's it!" Tom Cruise encouraged Ronan: "Pay attention to the action, remember to work together with the waist and abdomen!"
　　Will Smith said, "Don't hit the sandpit anymore!"
　　 Ronan didn't turn his head and said, "Will, I bet you twenty dollars, this ball will never go into the bunker!"
　　 How big the court is, how big the bunker is, so he can't hit it even if he is aiming.
　　 Will Smith smiled and said, "I'm stuck with you!"
　　 Ronan made a strong swing, the white golf ball flew high, flying towards the distance, all the way over the lawn, flying over the sand pit, and then... fell into the pond.
　　 "Look." Ronan said to Will Smith in a very high-end atmosphere: "You lost, the ball didn't go into the bunker."
　　Will Smith is a little dumbfounded, what kind of showman is this? Are you embarrassed to say you won after entering the pond?
　　 Jeff Katzenberg sympathetically patted Will Smith on the shoulder: "You lost."
　　 "Well, I lost." Will Smith reluctantly took out his wallet, took out twenty dollars, and said with a sad face, "Ronan, you are too invincible."
　　 Ronan grabbed the twenty dollars and said, "Have you never heard a word? Invincible in your heart can be invincible in the world."
　　 Tom Cruise said: "The winner, please have coffee."
　　 Ronan said, "Tom, the truly invincible person is you."
　　 The four people rushed to the pond, and Tom Cruise asked curiously: "Reading the newspaper some time ago, you and Angela Lindevo were shopping?"
　　 Ronan nodded: "Yes. I'm not married, she's not married, try dating for a while."
　　 Tom Cruise asked in a low voice, "You don't think about it?"
　　 I still remember Ronan persuading himself to come some time ago.
　　 "Am I that kind of person?" Ronan shrugged, "Let's take a look for a while."
　　 Tom Cruise understood, and said, "I really want to find a long-term one, it's best to find an outsider."
　　 Will Smith heard it and agreed: "Yes, there is not so much trouble outside the circle."
　　 Ronan looked at Will Smith curiously. It seems that his wife is in the circle, right?
　　Will Smith looked like someone who came over: "This is a talk of experience."
　　 Four people played golf on the court for an afternoon. In fact, most of the time they were chatting. Golfing is more for communication.
　　 On the way back from the stadium to the locker room, Jeff Kasenberg and Ronan talked about "Shrek".
　　 "The post-production of the film has been completed, and several internal previews are going to be held." Jeff Kasenberg said: "You have time to participate."
　　 Ronan certainly wouldn't refuse, and said, "You will call me in advance."
　　 Jeff Katzenberg added: "I have already asked people to sign up for the competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and I will rely on embassy films overseas."
　　 "No problem." Ronan thought for a while and said, "If we have time, we will go to Cannes together."
The film is going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and the Embassy Pictures has long been notified by DreamWorks. Ronan is somewhat surprised that a spoof and anti-classic cartoon will participate in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. What is the operation? ?
　　 can only say that DreamWorks Animation Studio wants to expand the popularity of the film.
　　Embassy Pictures is the overseas distributor of "Shrek", and expanding its reputation is also beneficial to overseas distribution.
　　 When leaving the golf club, Ronan and Jeff Kasenberg walked all the way, and they were talking about "Shrek" as they walked.
　　 Today is not the same as in the past, and Jeff Katzenberg's confidence in Embassy Pictures is growing.
　　 At the door of the golf club, Jeremy Katzenberg met an acquaintance.
　　 "Hi, Jerefer." A middle-aged white man with a kind smile said hello: "You come over to play too."
　　 Jeff Katzenberg nodded, "Hello, Bob."
　　 Ronan saw the appearance of the incoming person, his heart moved, and asked: "This is..."
Hearing Ronan's initiative to ask questions~EbookFREE.me~Jerifer Kasenberg had to introduce: "Bob, this is Ronan Anderson, the president of Relativity Entertainment. Ronan, this is Robert Iger , ABC TV station... Oh, yes, you are no longer in ABC. Bob joined the Disney Entertainment Department after Disney acquired ABC, and is now the director of the Entertainment Department."
　　 Ronan shook hands with Robert Iger: "Hello, Mr. Iger, I am very happy to meet you."
　　 "Hello, Mr. Anderson." Robert Iger had heard Ronan's name: "You are a very amazing producer."
　　 The two exchanged a few words, Ronan also exchanged contact information with Robert Iger.
　　 After leaving the clubhouse, Ronan asked: "His position in Disney is very high?"
Jeff Katzenberg shook his head: "Middle-level. Bob used to work for ABC. He was the kind of manager who was promoted from the bottom employees. Later, Disney acquired ABC and was promoted to Disney by Michael Eisner. Work as a supervisor in the entertainment department."
　　"Supervisor?" Ronan didn't particularly understand Disney's internal structure.
　　 Jeff Katzenberg explained simply: "He also has a director and president above him, and he is the third in charge of Disney's entertainment department."
　　 Ronan nodded, the famous "Smiling Mickey Mouse" in the past life has not yet made its mark.
