Chapter 697: Solve 2 needs

Ronan wondered: "Irene Zhang?"
　　
　　 This should be the English name of a Chinese or Oriental, and it is a female, but looking through the memory, Ronan did not remember such a female writer.
　　
　　 James Shams quickly said: "This is an Oriental female writer decades ago."
　　
　　 Ronan slowly shook his head: "I have some understanding of Eastern culture, but I have never heard of this name."
　　
　　 Li Ang thought for a while, changed to Chinese and said: "James said Zhang Ailing."
　　
　　 Hearing this familiar name, Ronan instantly understood: "I know her, I have to become famous as soon as possible."
　　
　　 "Yes." James Shams nodded and said, "That's her."
　　
　　 Ang Lee was very curious and asked, "James, which novel or novel do you like her?"
　　
　　 Although James Shams has not yet answered, Ronan has the answer in his mind.
　　
　　 Zhang Ailing and Li Ang are directly connected, and they have only one name "Lust Caution".
　　
　　 James Shams said exactly this name: "Eileen Chang’s short story "Lust Caution."
　　
　　 Li Ann has obviously seen this work, and his brows frowned slightly: "This one?"
　　
　　James Shams knew where Lee Ang's concerns were, and knew that the most important thing for the project was investment. He immediately turned to Ronan: "Mr. Anderson, are you interested?"
　　
　　 For "Lust Caution", Ronan has watched it many times. Of course, it is not the whole movie, but the essence of it. It is absolutely super popular online video.
　　
　　 The former heroine paid a high price for this, and even rumored that she was a real sword when shooting with the actor.
　　
　　 If it is true, I can only say that I am more dedicated and dedicated to art.
　　
　　 Not everyone has such courage and opportunities.
　　
　　 But Ronan’s impression of this film is not good, even a bit bad, and there is basically no market for this film in North America...
　　
　　 "Is the novel written about the East?" Ronan asked Ang Lee: "The film adaptation is also the plot of the East?"
　　
　　 Li Ang said, "Lust Caution is."
　　
　　 James Shams continued: "Film adaptations cannot be separated from novels."
　　
　　 Ronan smiled: "I can only say sorry." He was very direct: "James, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."
　　
　　James Shams was surprised, looked at Li Ang, and said, "What if Li is the director?"
　　
　　 He knew Ronan valued Ang Lee very much.
　　
　　 But Ang Lee is very good at being a man: "James, you have never discussed this project with me, nor did I promise you to be the director."
　　
　　 He was also straightforward: "Sorry, James, I am not interested in Lust Caution."
　　
　　 The failure of "The Hulk" allowed Ang Lee to learn enough experience and lessons. Now that there is a thigh that can be hugged by the relativity entertainment, and Ronan, who treats the Chinese director equally, is fully supported. Why do you wander around?
　　
　　 Can I get the trust of Ronan and the support of Relativity Entertainment when I switch to another company?
　　
　　 James Shams didn’t know what to say for a while, Ronan put down his knife and fork and said,
I’m done, so I won’t bother you both.

　　
　　 After finishing speaking, he walked towards where Anne Hathaway was.
　　
　　 "Lee?" James Shams puzzled: "We have been working together for many years..."
　　
　　 Ang Lee raised his hand and stopped James Shams from continuing to say: "At first Ronan advised me not to pick up "The Hulk", but I did. What happened in the end?"
　　
　　James Shams is one of the screenwriters of "The Hulk", and he knows what happened in this film.
　　
　　 Li Ann added: "The support given to me by Relativity Entertainment is unimaginable before."
　　
　　 James Shams sighed, forkped a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed hard for a while, swallowed it, and said, "It seems that I have no gain this time."
　　
　　 Li Ang comforted the old partner: "You can always find a suitable investor. If it's not possible, you can go to the other side of the Pacific."
　　
　　James Shams nodded: "It can only be this way."
　　
　　 Ronan does not know the market data of "Lust Caution", but it is inferred from common sense that the box office performance in North America is definitely not good, and there may be a market in the East.
　　
　　The Oriental market has just entered a period of rapid development. The overall market volume is not large. With the restricted introduction terms and box office share ratio, this project is not optimistic for Hollywood investors.
　　
　　 If only Shahai Entertainment invests in shooting, this film will not pass the level of Scissors.
　　
　　 Unless you cooperate with the Eastern Company, a co-production film will come out.
　　
　　 It’s not very interesting, because it is difficult to operate, and the expected market is limited.
　　
　　 One more thing, Ronan has a bad impression of Lust Caution.
　　
　　 Of course, that super essence concentrated version is not included here.
　　
　　 Ronan didn't stay longer in Wyoming. After Anne Hathaway accompanied him to see nearby attractions this weekend, he returned to Los Angeles.
　　
　　 Ang Lee’s crew will return to Los Angeles for post-production after finishing the filming.
　　
In order to allow Ang Lee ample time for post-production, Embassy Pictures applied for the Venice Film Festival at the end of August and early September for "Brokeback Mountain". It is not a problem to get the quota of the competition unit, starting with the Venice Film Festival. The prelude to the redemption.
　　
　　 This year’s awards season, "Brokeback Mountain" is too late, but Embassy Pictures still has many seed players.
　　
　　 Chris Gardner himself has signed a contract with Embassy Pictures and will participate in the promotion activities of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in December.
　　
　　 There is no doubt that this is also a huge opportunity for Chris Gardner and his company.
　　
　　If the film sells well and spreads widely, Chris Gardner will also become famous. As a stockbroker and investment company, he will surely attract more customers.
　　
　　 Another key promotion film is "Crash".
　　
　　 After the Toronto Film Festival, Embassy Pictures formulated a detailed promotion and award-winning plan, which was implemented in early October.
　　
　　 Los Angeles, this multi-racial metropolis, is experiencing numerous disputes and conflicts caused by race issues every day.
　　
　　 There are countless cases in this area even without deliberate collection.
　　
　　 Because of Ronan's relationship, Embassy Pictures' publicity investment on the Internet has taken the lead in Hollywood, and a strong network promotion team has been built in a few years.
　　
　　 Among them, there is a small team dedicated to "Crash". The main task is to spread racial discrimination in Los Angeles on the Internet, and strive to make racial discrimination in Los Angeles once again become the mainstream topic of media entertainment when the award season arrives.
　　
　　 Once this topic was discussed, the opportunity for "Crash" came.
　　
　　 It would be great if there were a few more black sports in Los Angeles.
　　
　　Hollywood's film operation is maintained above the legal line, and it is almost omnipotent.
　　
　　 Although the Relativity Entertainment started late, it is not inferior to the six major companies, and it has a tendency to come first.
　　
　　 Ronan also let people collect further materials, hoping to gain something.
　　
　　 As long as public opinion can be ignited, Ronan believes very much in the powerful power of the black and white left groups in Hollywood circles.
　　
　　 "There are many small conflicts and they happen every day."
　　
　　 In the embassy film industry, Garcia Rodriguez said to Ronan: "But after so many years, many people have also formed inertia, thinking that it is not a big deal. Therefore, if you want to explode public opinion, you need a big event."
　　
　　 Ronan asked: "The effect of celebrity events is also OK?"
　　
　　 "Yes." Garcia said: "If there are celebrities who publicly publish similar views and make related incidents, public opinion will definitely explode in the current social situation."
　　
　　 He is full of doubts: "But now, there are fewer and fewer celebrities like this."
　　
　　 Thomas suddenly interjected: "Should we find a way to make it together?"
　　
　　 Ronan waved his hand first: "In the future, this aspect will become more sensitive, we can't directly involve it, you must pay attention."
　　
　　 "Shall we wait?" Thomas was a little helpless.
　　
　　 Garcia thought about it briefly: "Let the network team keep an eye on this aspect. If there are too many small things accumulated, there will always be an outbreak."
　　
　　 Thomas nodded, "I still need a tipping point."
　　
　　 Ronan said calmly: "Now there is some time before the awards season, so wait patiently." He added: "This will also help "When Happiness Knocks" hit the Oscar's best actor."
　　
　　 Thomas patted his fist: "Such a wave of public opinion can solve the needs of the two films."
　　
　　 "Also be careful to let others pick up the bargain." Ronan asked, "What happened to "The King of Soul Singer"?"
　　
Thomas replied: "The production budget is 75 million U.S. dollars, the distribution company is Universal Pictures, and the male protagonist is Jamie Fox. At the end of this month, the weekend before Halloween, it will be released at the same time as our "Chain Saw 2". The feedback is very clear, Jamie Fox has targeted the best actor Oscar."
　　
　　 He thought for a while, and then said: "Director Tyler Hackford wrote the script as early as 1987, but did not find an investor, and it dragged on until last year."
　　
　　 Ronan said directly: "After this film is released, remember to remind everyone through the media that Jamie Fox is a singer and comedian."
　　
　　 Will Smith is inherently disadvantaged at the Oscars~EbookFREE.me~ so that at least Jamie Fox can be pulled down to the same starting line as Will Smith.
　　
　　 Frankly speaking, once Jamie Fox won the Oscar for Best Actor, it was not a big upset.
　　
　　 Perhaps his status as a black actor played an extremely important role.
　　
　　 With the coming of October, the film released by Embassy Pictures was released again. DreamWorks Animation Studio's "Shark Gang" opened in 4,218 theaters in North America, and won 49.57 million US dollars in three days over the weekend.
　　
　　 The cooperation between Embassy Pictures and DreamWorks Animation Studio was once again successful.
　　
　　In just ten days, the North American box office of "Shark Gang" exceeded $100 million.
　　
　　 Two "Shrek" and "Shark Gang" have been successful one after another, and Embassy Pictures has fully demonstrated its ability to distribute animated films to the outside world.
　　
　　 The DreamWorks Animation Studio of this era is close to Pixar Animation Studios and firmly ranks second in Hollywood animation production.
