Chapter 582: Obey the contract

In Beverly Hills, the sun was leaning to the west. Ronan got in the car and asked the driver David to pick up the assistant Connie, and then went straight to the Kodak Theater to the site of the 76th Oscars.
Connie got on the co-pilot of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and said: "The Embassy Pictures just reported a message that Cameron Sloan, the agent of Mel Gibson, took the initiative to contact the Embassy Pictures to discuss The division of the producer of "The Passion"."
Ronan frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, Embassy Pictures bought out all the copyrights of "The Passion of the Christ" at once, right?"
"That's it." Connie explained briefly: "He believes that the producer is the key to the success of the film and has the right to participate in the later stage."
Ronan was not surprised by this. After all, the box office of "The Passion of the Christ" broke out too hard. As the person who planned and filmed this movie, Mel Gibson was abnormal if he had no ideas.
But this does not mean that he recognizes that Mel Gibson can participate in the late split.
Embassy Pictures bought out "The Passion of the Christ" for $40 million. Judging from the current box office results, it does take a big advantage, but what if the film hits the street? Embassy Pictures has invested $65 million from buyout to publicity to release. Will the producers help to make up for the losses?
The answer is obvious.
Ronan asked, "Did they not mention specific conditions?"
Connie said quickly: "Ten percent revenue share or 10 percent box office share."
"Heh..." Ronan couldn't help laughing: "How can there be such a good thing in the world."
What do we need to do with laws and contracts?
Connie said: "The Embassy Pictures is going to reject them."
Ronan thought for a while, and said: "Well, the film can sell well. Mel Gibson and the producer really contributed to the fact that the Embassy Pictures will communicate with the producer and wait for the film to go down in North America. Gibson received US$2 million as a box office bonus, and the actor and the heroine...well, a bonus of US$500,000 each."
The embassy film industry is the most profitable, and Ronan does not mind giving some bonuses to the producers.
But this is a project bonus, not a later share!
"Okay." Connie wrote a note in her notebook and said, "I will notify the Embassy Pictures tomorrow."
It is impossible for Ronan to make such an opening. The Embassy Pictures will definitely have buyout films in the future. Once there is a precedent, the future will be difficult.
He deliberated a little, and said: "If Mel Gibson and the producer disagree, make a non-partial request and execute in accordance with the contract signed by both parties."
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived near the Kodak Theater. Under the command of the staff, it quickly stopped in front of the red carpet. After Ronan got out of the car, he did not stop in front of the media reporters and fans and walked along the red carpet. Go straight to the entrance of the theater.
The red carpet ceremony is a moment for celebrities, and the director and producer all have to make way for them.
When Ronan came to the interview area, a reporter recognized who he was and also came to interview him, wanting to ask him if he liked the film.
"Prediction? I don't think it is necessary." Ronan deliberately glanced at his watch: "Please be patient and wait for four hours, you can know all the results."
After speaking, regardless of the questions of other media reporters, he walked directly onto the steps of the Kodak Theater.
The Oscar results have already come out, so forget about predictions and the like.
The final vote for this year’s Oscars starts from the announcement of the nomination list on February 14 and ends on February 25 before the award ceremony. After the votes of the judges are mailed back to the college, two accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers will be responsible for the statistics. , The number of votes is counted, the names of the winners are sealed, and these envelopes are filled with suspense and expectations. They will not be opened one by one until the Oscars are broadcast live on TV.
On the way to the main hall of the Kodak Theater, Ronan saw Charlize Theron again.
"Good evening, Sally." Ronan took the initiative to say hello.
Charlize Theron wore a mermaid evening dress with shiny silver flakes, and his figure was basically restored, and the whole person was full of aura created by the four hearts.
"Good evening, Ronan." Charlize Theron smiled at Ronan.
Stuart Townsend, who was next to Charlize Theron, was very inexistent and was subconsciously ignored by Ronan. He just said to Charlize Theron: "You are the number one favorite for the best actress tonight, I wish You get the little golden man."
Charlize Theron said politely: "Thank you."
Ronan didn't say much, and walked forward alone after entering the theater.
Stewart Townsend looked at Charlize Theron with a mixed mood. Charlize Theron won the best actress. Should he be happy? Should I be happy?
The boyfriend of the Oscar queen? Stewart Townsend has thought that the media and the public will call him in the future.
This kind of feeling is really not good, it hurts the dignity of a man.
Charlize Theron obviously did not notice the change in her boyfriend's mentality. On the short journey to the crew, many people took the initiative to say hello. Whether it was due to politeness or the maintenance of the network, she needed to respond enthusiastically.
Similar to Ronan, almost everyone ignored the existence of Stewart Townsend and was just talking to Charlize Theron.
Because everyone knows that Charlize Theron is 90% likely to be the best actress tonight.
In front of the best actress, Stuart Townsend is completely transparent.
When Ronan approached the location of the crew of "Lord of the Rings", he had a special chat with Peter Jackson, and then came to sit down where the crew of "Lost in Tokyo" was.
Scarlett Johansson, who was next to him, leaned in immediately: "You came very late, and it will start soon. I thought you were not coming."
Ronan smiled: "I will come or not have no effect on the results of the awards."
Scarlett Johansson held his hand directly and said: "You are here, you can give me confidence."
Ronan joked, "You can't run away. We have done our job well. The rest depends on luck."
Scarlett Johansson rolled his eyes, leaned in Ronan's ear, and said in a low voice: "If I can take a golden figure back, I will do whatever you want tonight."
Ronan smiled without saying a word, because there were too many random times and it was not so attractive anymore.
"Can I win the prize?" Scarlett Johansson still asked the question.
Ronan said calmly: "You are hot."
Before the award ceremony, the media released various predictions, but the predictions of the winners of the main awards are surprisingly similar-the best film and the best director are "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and the film director Peter Jackson ; The best actor and actress will still be Sean Penn and Charles Theron who have already won the awards season; the best supporting actor and actress awards will be awarded to Tim Robbins and Scarlett Johansson. .
Some media even claim that this is the most suspenseful Oscars, and the disappearance of the suspense will be somewhat boring.
Of course, this is just a prediction. Upset is never uncommon at Oscars.
The Oscar has nearly 6,000 members. The final award result cannot be changed according to personal will. At this moment, there are only two people who know the award result-PricewaterhouseCoopers partners Grigor Garrison and Li K-Rosas.
The music on the stage suddenly sounded, and the 76th Oscars ceremony kicked off.
Perhaps the ratings of the past few years were terrible. This year's awards ceremony not only has a more gorgeous stage layout, but also has a retro taste of the 90s.
After a three-year absence, Billy Christo once again stepped onto the stage hosted by Oscars.
The famous comedian, once again took out his Oscar repertoire-nominated film singing skewer.
"There is Sofia Coppola, the first American woman ever to be nominated for best director... She finished the film in only 47 days, and her good friend just spent the time Ilya -Wood wakes up from his sleep..."
"Frodo and Sam are walking on the mysterious land, Smeggo suddenly jumped out, like Jennifer Jackson's right breast! Britney and Jennifer Lopez dumped their husband after watching this movie, they I thought this film was called a divorce ring..."
The first award at the opening was the best supporting actor. As predicted by the media, Tim Robbins took over from the last best supporting actress winner Catherine Zeta Jones with his performance in "Mystic River" The best supporting actor statuette.
Subsequently, technical awards began to be awarded, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" became the biggest winner. As long as the nominated awards were received, Peter Jackson's crew all took back the Golden Man.
For the best sound effects, best makeup, best costume design, best movie editing, etc., the award rate for "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" is always 100%.
Everyone, including Ronan, can see clearly that after the arrival of the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Oscar should give the series the greatest recognition.
By the way ~EbookFREE.me~ If JK-Rowling hangs up, when the "Harry Potter" series is over, it is estimated that Oscar will give a similar response.
The dead are always more popular than the living, and the old man is always more important than the young. This is the Oscar truth.
Another big truth is to divide the cake. The Oscar judges do not want to give an important award to a certain popular person or a certain popular movie. They will definitely award a consolation prize before the arrival of the heavyweight award.
Unfortunately, Sofia Coppola and "Lost in Tokyo" are included in this rank.
After "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" took the best adapted screenplay, Sophia Coppola won the best original screenplay for "Lost in Tokyo".
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sofia Coppola has already bid farewell to the best director.
Even Scarlett Johansson was a little nervous, grabbing Ronan's hand and asking: "I won't be affected, am I?"
"
