Chapter 44: Watching movie

　　Louis Theater is located on Burbank’s 17th Street. It is a two-story community theater. The theater is temporarily closed this afternoon. It will cooperate with the leasing party Shahai Entertainment to hold the "Human Removal Project" movie.
Hundreds of fans recruited by 　　 entered the theater first.
　　 is like a similar movie-watching party or trial movie, which is very common in Los Angeles. Many fans are also willing to participate in this kind of free movie-watching activities. It is quite easy to recruit trial audiences.
　　 However, Ronan mixed some materials in it.
　　 "How are you preparing?" He stood in the front hall of the theater and asked Robert, "Are everyone here?"
　　 Robert nodded slightly: "Don't worry, we have drilled no less than 30 times. Many emergencies have also been filed. It must be no problem."
　　 Ronan let out a sigh, and his slightly impatient mood gradually eased: "If it doesn't go well, we can only go to the film festival or find a small company to release it."
　　 Robert knows that Ronan and the Arabs have reached an agreement that the film must be released in North America, not a video tape.
　　 "Is the acquisition of the issuing company serious?" Robert asked in a low voice.
　　 Ronan roughly said: "George provided some lists. Isn't it a big acquisition with a wide distribution channel? It doesn't make sense to buy a small company with limited distribution channels."
　　 Robert echoed: "Instead of acquiring a small company, we might as well recruit people to build an issue department."
　　 Ronan thought for a while, and said: "The first choice is acquisition. If there is no suitable acquisition target, we will prepare to build an issuing company."
　　 is definitely not to establish another distribution department in Shahai Entertainment, but a distribution company independent of Shahai Entertainment.
　　 James Huang came over at this time, Ronan and Robert stopped talking about the company, and greeted James Huang successively.
　　 "How many distribution companies are there today?" Although James Huang most values ​​the later "Death is Coming", he is also very concerned about whether the first movie can enter the theater: "Is there a general goal?"
　　 As soon as he said this, he realized that he had asked a silly question. If there was a specific goal, he would not hold a filming session.
　　 Ronan said: "It depends on the situation. It is estimated that people from seven or eight companies will come over, and we will also see specific conditions later."
　　 issuance is a must, but on this basis, we must strive for advantageous chips as much as possible.
　　 There are still more than forty minutes before the start of the movie, but no one from the distribution company has ever come over. Robert is a little anxious, and frequently looks at the entrance of the theater.
　　 Ronan is also a little anxious, no matter what, this is his first Hollywood movie, which is directly related to future development.
　　 If the film is successfully released in North America and wins a decent box office, the overseas screening rights can be sold at a decent price. Abu Dhabi will definitely be happy, and it will be easy to increase investment.
　　In this kind of investment, the first time is often the most difficult. With a precedent for successful cooperation, there is a good foundation for cooperation again.
　　 As for cooperation with Arabs, there will be inexplicable allegations and investigations in the future. There is no need to worry too much about this. There are countless companies and individuals that have cooperative relationships and financial transactions with Arabs in the United States.
　　 Abu Dhabi belongs to the UAE. Compared to countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE has a much lower risk factor.
　　 There are so many companies in the United States that do business with Arabs. As long as you don’t violate a certain line, who will care about a small company in this non-critical industry.
　　 Besides, Ronan would not be so stupid that he was really with Arabs.
　　 He always valued the money in the pockets of Arabs, and his eyes were also shifting to India.
　　 After waiting for a while, Ronan looked at his watch. It was only more than 30 minutes. No one came. He planned the script carefully. If the target audience does not come, what is the use?
　　 James-Huang was also a little anxious and looked at his watch frequently.
　　 For him, this film can enter theaters, and the release of the next film will go smoothly.
　　 "Not coming yet." Robert frowned.
　　 Ronan's face was calm: "Be calm." He raised his eyebrows lightly: "Here."
　　The black Lexus car stopped at the entrance of the theater. A middle-aged man got out of the car and entered the theater. Ronan hurriedly greeted him and extended his right hand first: "Welcome, Mr. Chris."
　　 The person named Chris shook hands with him and said with a smile: "The road was a bit blocked, but luckily it was not late."
　　 Ronan smiled and said, "It is a great honor for us to come."
　　 Everyone likes to hear good things, and there is no loss in saying a few more words. He exchanged a few words with Chris from Sony and asked Robert to send the person to the box on the second floor.
　　 Then, Bran Milner of Warner Bros. came.
　　 One after another, representatives of four or five distribution companies or film experts came to the theater.
　　Of course, these people belong to people with a bit of power but not too high in the company they work for. The main daily studio is to find and review movies suitable for theater distribution.
　　 To put it bluntly, coming here is also their daily work.
　　 Inside the box on the second floor, Chris saw Bran Milner coming up a little curious, greeted him, and asked, "Why are you here?"
　　 "If you can come, I can come too." Bran Milner said with a smile.
　　 Chris tentatively asked: "Warner Bros. interested in this small production?"
"The horror film costing three million dollars, the director also directed "X-Files", it sounds good." Bran Milner said true or false: "Mainly Ronan Anderson, a good young man, warm and sincere , I am so kind."
　　 He asked suddenly: "Where are you, Chris?"
Chris thought of several meetings with Ronan and said: "There are really not many young people like Mr. Anderson. They are very real." He thought about it, and added: "Frankly speaking, I am here not because of the film. The budget and the director, but Mr. Anderson moved me."
　　 At the entrance of the theater, because the entrance was full of cars, the later cars could only park a little farther.
　　 Gray Enrique of Lionsgate got out of the car and walked towards the theater. He met an acquaintance on the way, and the person greeted him, "Good afternoon, Gray."
"Good afternoon, Deron." Gray Enrique knew this colleague from New Line Films, pointed to the theater, and tentatively asked: "New Line Films is interested in this "Human Removal Project." ?"
　　 Delong shrugged: "I don't have any other work at hand for the time being, just come and try my luck."
　　 Gray Enrique heard the subtext: "You are not very optimistic about this film?"
　　 Deron said as he walked: "Ronan Anderson paid a terrible loss for his last film. He didn't understand what the theater movie was like. How long has it been before, and I think..."
　　 He didn't say any further, but shook his head: "It's just not busy, otherwise I won't come."
　　 Gray Enrique could tell that Deron seemed to think so.
　　It’s not difficult to understand that Xinxian Pictures released a film from Shahai Entertainment, which basically made no money.
　　 For the issuing company, if UU Kanshu.com does not make money, it is actually a loss.
　　 The two entered the theater together, and greeted Ronan one after another. Gray-Enrique saw clearly that Deron looked down on the young man a bit, and spoke with a faint arrogance.
　　 Ronan Anderson, the young man gave him a good impression, especially the last time the two talked about horror movies, the insights that the other side said were not like laymen at all.
　　 Lionsgate has just started, and the company’s main target is low-cost horror films.
　　 With his senses, the films made by people like Ronan Anderson should be more reliable, at least not outrageous.
　　 "Fail again this time." Deron was talking to him: "The company that old Anderson has worked so hard to develop will be destroyed by his son."
　　 Gray Enrique smiled and did not answer Deron's words.
　　 The two then entered the private room on the second floor together, where many colleagues sat.
　　 Gray Enrique greeted each other and sat in his seat. When he looked forward, he heard a faint "bang".
　　 Delong also heard it, and followed the sound. It turned out that the seat on the first floor was facing the conspicuous position of the box. Someone opened a can of Coke. Probably, the Coke can had encountered a collision, and the foam that was produced rose high.
　　 "I hate these people who make messy sounds when watching movies." Delong muttered.
　　 Gray Enrique saw it too, and echoed: "Me too."
　　1st floor seat.
　　 Mario took the tissue that Paul handed him, wiped off the Coke foam on his body, first handed the unpacked Coke to Paul, and then opened it again.
　　 "Drink!" Paul looked up and drank.
　　 Mario was also unambiguous, and drank it all at once.
　　 Then, the two picked up a can of Coke.
