Chapter 416 Equal Treatment

In the small screening room of Beverly Hills Club, the screening of "Hero" is still in progress.

Like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because it is going to win the Oscar for the best foreign language film, "Hero" does not dubbing in English, but is equipped with English subtitles standard.

Unlike the other side of the Pacific, people here are very unaccustomed to subtitles.

Besides, many lines are translated into English and cannot express the meaning of the original version at all.

The difference between "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is really too big.

The script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is first written in English to ensure its Western core, and then translated into Chinese.

When writing the script of "Hero", of course, the issue of English translation will not be considered first.

"If a person is unknown, he can concentrate on practicing swords!"

"A person's pain is no longer painful compared to those of the world."

To be honest, the lines in this movie are really well written.

Moreover, the film itself is very distinctive, and the beautiful pictures are very attractive.

The film is full of oriental artistic conception and has a very touching fight, fully leveraging the advantages of light and shadow and color.

It can be said that many pictures of "Hero" express endless poetry.

Compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this movie is more suitable for oriental audiences.

How many oriental audiences did the former sleep?

I just don’t know how many North American audiences who don’t know about Oriental movies will regard this film as a super magical movie.

After all, based on the content shown in the video alone, these swordsmen are much better than the members of the Ring Protection Team.

Gandalf, who sells swords with one hand and wise sticks with the other, will kneel down when he sees it.

This is a serious magical blockbuster.

In the face of the promotion of ordinary movie fans, Embassy Film Company also launched the banner of magical masterpieces early on.

After the filming meeting, David Villa of the Embassy Film Industry invited the guests to the nearby banquet hall, followed by a cocktail party.

This so-called film-pulling meeting, the screening is the situation, and the relationship is the reality.

I don’t know how to engage in public relations and have many Oscars gone.

"I really didn't expect it."

Navas of Lionsgate Pictures also accepted the invitation and said to Ronan: "You have made another Oriental Magic movie."

Ronan smiled and said, "There is no way. "The City of God" can't compete with you, so you can only find another way."

Navas said: "This movie is more magical than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He asked tentatively: "Your goal is also the best foreign language film?"

The kick-off meeting was underway, and Ronan did not need to deny it and said, "It's because of this consideration."

"Liongate Films is also pushing "City of God" to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film," Navas said.

"You have advantages in the subject matter." Luo Nan said casually: "It would be nice if we could get a nomination."

However, Navas was very wary of Ronan and said specifically: "I hope we can compete well."

Ronan said: "I have always been a person who cares about fair competition."

Connie, who was following Ronan, remained silent, well... her boss really likes fair competition.

The atmosphere at the cocktail party was very warm. Director Zhang kept greeting people with an interpreter and a public relations staff member. He had not turned around for a long time, and only felt one word - tired!

Not only is the body tired, but the heart is even more tired!

If this is placed in China, Asia, even in Cannes, he would have to do this?

But the issuing company and public relations staff said that if you want to win an Oscar, this is just the most basic thing, and there are more troublesome things to do later.

Director Zhang looked back and thought, what movie awards he had in the country were not easy to win?

Challenging! Yes! He needs to be challenging!

As long as there is still challenges, he can maintain his vigorous creative life.

Once there is nothing to challenge, the whole person will slack off.

There were quite a lot of Chinese people coming to the scene today. Any Chinese who are a little famous in Hollywood received invitations from Ronan, such as James Huang, Ang Lee and Liu Yuling.

In addition, those who are not Chinese have also been screened, and Ronan will definitely not let the Hollywood rightists come and make things worse.

Ronan has been the most friendly producer in the circle for many years. This is due to a special experience, and on the other hand, he can only bring the golden phoenix with good sycamore trees.

There are quite a few Chinese people in Hollywood who are capable.

After Navas left, Ronan saw Ang Lee chatting with Director Zhang for a few words and walked towards him.

"Good evening, Ronan." Ang Lee took the initiative to say hello.

Ronan smiled and shook hands with him: "Long time no see, Li."

Ang Lee and Ronan were also familiar with each other and asked directly: "This movie is about to be the best foreign language film?"

Ronan whispered: "The goal is to nominate."

Ang Lee nodded: "With the current situation in Hollywood, it is difficult for pure oriental films to win awards."

This is an objective reality. Ronan certainly understood and said, "Yes, so just get a nomination."

He changed the subject and asked, “Is the Hulk done?”

"Not yet, but it's almost done." Ang Lee looked a little tired: "There is only some finishing work left in the post-production."

Ronan said: "This is your first commercial blockbuster. Don't forget to notify me when it premieres."

"No problem." Ang Lee replied.

After showing up in front of Ronan, Ang Lee responded to the invitation of Relativity Entertainment and quickly said goodbye and left.

Look at Ang Lee and then look at Director Zhang. Ronan knows very well that in terms of Oscar alone, Ang Lee's advantages are not comparable to Director Zhang.

Ang Lee has long been westernized and has settled in the United States for many years. In addition to westernizing his thoughts, what is even more westernized is the interpersonal network.

Take the Oscar public relations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as an example. Ang Lee can have breakfast with the old Oscar judges in the morning, visit famous film critics in the morning, call the Oscar member friends who have worked with at noon, and accept interviews with media reporters in the afternoon.

These are the interpersonal networks that Ang Lee has been woven in Hollywood for ten years.

Ronan thought about how to deal with "The Hulk" after it was released next year.

On the one hand, there is the Hulk's film and television copyright issue, and on the other hand, there is director Ang Lee.

It is undoubtedly the most ideal result to be able to get the Hulk's copyright back from Universal Pictures, provided that "Hulk" is going to be miserable enough.

Ang Lee's future is of great value. The adaptation rights of that movie are already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment. If "The Hulk" really fails, there are actually not many choices left for Ang Lee.

For a director with a reputation and status of the United States or other Western countries that is similar to Ang Lee, a movie, even if it is a first-line production, will definitely have an impact and will not face difficulties like a desperate situation.

But for Chinese directors, this problem is not very big.

Ronan saw Allen Horn of Warner Bros. Pictures and went over to say hello. Allen Horn was not here alone tonight, and there was a girl who looked like she looked sixteen or seventeen years old next to her.

Given Allen Horn's identity and current public occasions, this cannot be his little lover.

"Koty, this is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment." Allen Horn took the initiative to introduce: "Ronan, this is Cotai, my daughter."

Ronan smiled and nodded: "Good evening, Miss Horn."

"Just call me Coty." Coty Horn smiled and showed a pair of rabbit teeth, showing a good tutor in every move: "I'm happy to know you, Uncle Anderson."

Ronan was a little embarrassed: "I'm not a few years older than you, call me Ronan."

Coty Horn smiled and stood beside Allen Horn and stopped talking.

She is tall and looks very quiet, with the most common brown hair in Western women, and a slightly tough face always has a faint smile.

Allen Horn said: "Ketty has just been in high school and is very interested in acting and screenwriter. He has also played several small roles. Ronan, if you have a suitable role, please take care of Koetty."

Ronan said: "Alan, you are too polite. This is what you should do. I will notify you if there is a suitable role."

Owning a CEO of Warner Bros. production company, Coty Horn started far higher than ninety-nine percent of Hollywood actors.

But the niece of top executives of large Hollywood companies rarely becomes a first- or even second-tier star. A wealthy family environment will lead to insufficient motivation to strive.

In the past, people with backgrounds like Coty Horn made a living in Hollywood, but they regarded this as an interest, purely as a playful thing.

Kotie Horn smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Anderson."

Ronan touched his nose and reminded again: "Let's call me Ronan."

Most American girls aged 16 or 17 are well developed. They are called uncles by such a big person, and they really call them old.

Ronan feels that he is very young and his mentality should be kept young, so that he can have unlimited motivation.

Just as Luo An was chatting with Allen Horn, two Chinese men quietly came to the vicinity, the older one was James Huang, who had started working with Shahai Entertainment again.

Another younger man, with a short and thin figure, slightly messy black hair, had a childish face.

"Ronan is busy." James Huang whispered: "Let's wait a moment to go."

The short Asians were a little nervous: "Is it easy to get along with big names like Ronan Anderson?"

James Huang saw his companion and knew what he was worried about, saying, "Don't worry. If the bosses of these Hollywood film companies really want to find someone who can treat Asian filmmakers equally, it is probably only Ronan Anderson."

"That's good, that's good." The short Asian rubbed his hands to relieve the tension in his heart: "I finally came from Australia and always wanted to find someone who can treat us equally."

James Huang knew this mentality, and he was not the same at the beginning.

Therefore, after an old friend recommended him, he would come to find Luo Nan.

"Don't worry," James Huang said again: "Ronan not only treats Asians equally, but also likes horror movies very much."
