Chapter 454: Stick to Style
Subtitles appeared on the slightly simple curtain, and some staff turned on the lights and opened the curtains. The Embassy Film Company acted as a conference room for temporary film studios, restoring the light.
Miller, president of the cinema company from Emperor Entertainment Group, gently pressed his eyes. The handheld photography and quick editing of the video looked very satisfying, but it was also easy to cause visual fatigue.
Feeling his eyes a little relaxed, Miller stood up and looked at Ronan: "Embassy Pictures brings another masterpiece."
Ronan smiled and signaled Paul Greengrass, who was very artistic in shape next to him, and said, "This is all the credit of director Greengrass."
"Director Greengrass," Miller said seriously: "When this film is released, the agent film will be completely changed."
Paul Greengras scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, as if he didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Brown, senior president of amg, responded: "The first "Spy Shadows" is already very outstanding, and the second part is better than the first part."
Luo Nan took the opportunity to say: "This excellent film is worth more resources from Amg and Emperor Entertainment."
Miller couldn't help laughing: "It's true. Although the production cost is only $70 million, this video is worthy of treatment from the first-line production."
Brown said: "amg will guarantee the number of theaters that will be released in this film."
Representatives from other cinema companies also made statements.
The sequel to a big-selling movie is easier to succeed, and the quality of the second part is obviously better than the first part, and the publicity of the Embassy Films is also sufficient.
In the subsequent specific negotiations, Ronan did not participate. When he was hosting representatives from many theater companies at noon, he received a notice from the Embassy Film and Television Theater Distribution Department that the number of theaters in "Spy Shadows 2" will not be less than 3,500.
With "X-Men 2" in the first place and "The Matrix 2: Reloading", this can be said to be very rare.
The opening theaters of these two films are just this number.
Every summer season, especially in May, is very crowded. If you look at the release list every year, North America can often put six or seven first-line productions in May, and some years can even reach ten.
Ronan is confident that "Spy Shadows 2" can earn a place in the summer season.
To be honest, Paul Greengrass is more radical than the first in the second part. Not only does he continue the realistic style and give the film the taste of documentary, but he also fully utilizes the advantages of "fast editing of handheld photography, realism and fighting to the flesh".
Based on the first part, a lot of new elements were added appropriately.
The reason why this series of films is eye-catching is that it contains suitable fresh elements, which exceeds everyone's expectations. Currently, Holy's action-type films definitely do not have the bold choices made in the "Spy Shadows" series of films, the shooting method, and the outstanding performance of Matt Damon.
In the words of the Oriental Internet, Matt Damon, who was nicknamed "cute" by netizens, is definitely the best candidate to play Bourne. Matt Damon's "natural" expression perfectly matches the amnesia Bourne's face is often confused and serious.
In the afternoon, the Embassy Film Industry held a promotional and distribution meeting for "Spy Shadows 2".
"In terms of publicity, we cannot ignore the importance of Robert Ludelun." David Villa, director of the publicity department, was preparing to drag the dead out to create momentum: "I have contacted Robert Ludelun's relatives, and they agreed to participate in Robert Ludelun's memorial activities."
Ronan was just watching and basically did not express his opinion.
"It's better to invite them to the premiere," said Thomas, director of the theater distribution department.
Garcia made the decision: “I will send them an invitation in person.”
In order to make the movie a big hit, all legal means must be dared to try, and Robert Lu Delun's family is very active.
You can't always hurt their enthusiasm.
"I think we should strengthen the publicity efforts of various offline rental and sales outlets. "Spy Shadow" was the best video in North America's offline rental business last year!"
"A brand new poster is being published and will be delivered to you soon," Garcia said.
Terry said confidently: "I promise that before the arrival of late April, all rented and sold stores in North America will be posted with posters of "Spy Shadows 2".
Garcia added: "We need to take many publicity measures to attract the offline DVD audience of "Spy Shadows" to the theaters where "Spy Shadows 2" is screened!"
Before the meeting ended, Ronan left early. Now that the Embassy Film Company is becoming more and more mature in publicity and distribution, it has a stable and reliable operation system, so there is no need to worry about the promotion and distribution of a film.
This is a good thing. As long as the issuing company runs smoothly and the issuing channel is still in hand, Relativity Entertainment will have the capital to compete with other companies.
Chris's words have already made Ronan more alert.
But Ronan also knew that in a short period of time, other large companies would have no good idea to use Relativity Entertainment.
In fact, he did a lot of his work ahead.
Relativity Entertainment has an independent and complete global distribution channel and does not require six major companies to publish videos.
We have established a relatively in-depth cooperation with Caa, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find the right actors and directors and other main creators.
The company's shares are very concentrated, so there is no need to worry about the problems caused by the acquisition of shares.
The foundation continues to attract overseas funds, and there is no shortage of investment in production.
Shahai Entertainment has registered many copyrights for scripts, and has bought the right to adapt some popular literary works, and it is not short of movie themes.
For example, Ronan's latest outline of the museum has been completed by the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment. He has just successfully registered with the Copyright Office and will start preparations at the latest next year.
After leaving the conference room, Ronan found Paul Greengrass and chatted for a while, mainly about the third part.
"I definitely have to direct the third part." Paul Greengras remembers it very clearly that he signed a trilogy contract with Sand Sea Entertainment: "But starting from June, I need to rest for about three months."
Ronan said: "No problem. "Borne's Hegemony" is scheduled to be released in 2005, and it's time to go." He reminded: "I hope the third part will still maintain the iconic portable camera shooting style and the lightning-like fast editing style."
He was a little worried, and when the second part was successful, Paul Greengrass was too eager for innovation and change.
Paul Greengras promised: "I will, I will keep the style of the first two movies. It is my responsibility to put an end to this story. Bourne is a real man living in the real world, but he pursues a fictional ending, but this ending is real to me."
Ronan was relieved and happy about Paul Greengrass' attitude: "Paul, you are one of the directors I want to work with the most. You are not only an outstanding storyteller, but also more perfect in terms of visual style. I know that you will complete the story of Jason Bourne with a very sincere feeling."
After Ronan talked with Paul Greengrass, he called George Clint and asked him to discuss the cooperation with Matt Damon on the third part.
There is no doubt that the third part of the two sides will be co-produced. The value that "Spy Shadows" can be created can be paid 20 million US dollars to Matt Damon.
Matt Damon can also be said to be an important factor in the success of the film.
This male actor is not only cute, he always exudes a precise and reliable atmosphere, giving the audience a reason to believe that Bourne is a good person.
In fact, the character Bourne is very dark, and what he really desires is to be a good person.
As an agent without high-tech plug-ins, Bourne had to make a fortune from the net of heaven and earth, but he had to rely on training results worth 30 million US dollars.
He is proficient in multiple languages and travels freely on three continents; he is superb in shooting skills and outstanding in fighting, and anyone will be unlucky when facing him head-on; he does not have a private car, travels around the country by taking trains, subways and planes, and steals a few motorcycles or cars when necessary; he rarely carries weapons, but he can always seize or dismantle opponents' guns with bare hands; he uses electric fans and flashlights to mislead the police, delay the pursuits with elevator switches, and find the most secret information with search engines that everyone can browse. His way of doing things is nothing more than a spy textbook.
Bourne looks very close to ordinary people and never has the ambition of saving the world. He makes every effort to survive in the cracks and get closer to the truth of his identity step by step. This is a small person's struggle for the right to survive.
Didn’t someone say that? Only when the appearance is ordinary can you hide in the city; only when the inner self is extraordinary can you reach a thousand troops one person.
Of course, as long as possible, pay should be kept as low as possible, which is a must for commercial companies.
Shahai Entertainment has now started production of multiple films in a year. One star can save millions of dollars in spending. Multiple films combined may be profits of tens of millions of dollars.
The promotion of "Spy Shadows 2" was launched quickly, and various preparations were in place one after another.
Entering May, the North American summer season in 2003 officially kicked off, and the Marvel superhero movie became the opening film again. "X-Men 2", produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox, landed in North America on the first weekend of the summer season.
As a sequel to a successful film, "X-Men 2" did not disappoint, with $85.55 million in North America in the first weekend.
This is also the best box office result for North America's opening weekend after "Spider-Man" last year.
Marvel's superheroes completely got rid of the suppression of their neighbors and gradually became the mainstream of the film market.
