In the reception room, when he saw the coffee sent by the staff, Monica Bellucci said thank you, and waited patiently while looking at the movie poster hanging on the wall.

A movie starring recently needs to find a distributor, but because of the sensitive theme, the investor and the producer have been slow to discuss the issue of inappropriate distribution. A movie with an investment of tens of millions of dollars cannot be given up. The producer simply mobilized all the main creators of the crew to search for distributors through their respective networks. Once the negotiation is completed, the movie will have a considerable commission after it is released.

In the past two years, Monica Bellucci has felt the influence of the beauty's old age. If you want to continue to be beautiful and continue to be the goddess in the hearts of thousands of movie fans, you need to invest in yourself.

After being a goddess for so many years, she is very clear about one thing: the goddess's appearance and temperament are all made of money.

In this era of increasingly advanced technologies, ugly women can also instantly kill Sophie Marceau by dressing up with money.

It is hard to say whether others can find a publisher, but after Monica Bellucci came to Los Angeles to learn about this situation, he immediately thought of Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures.

This is not the first time that Monica Bellucci has dealt with Embassy Pictures. Embassy Pictures has previously released "Irrevocable" starring her in North America, and she also helped contact her.

This is not the first time such a job.

Monica Bellucci waited for more than ten minutes, and the door of the reception room opened. Ronan walked in and shook hands with Monica Bellucci: "There is a temporary call, which will make you wait for a long time."

Monica Bellucci knew that she was facing Hollywood bosses, and hurriedly said, "I took the liberty to come to disturb me."

Ronan had been with Monica Bellucci before, but he was so familiar with it. He asked with some curiosity: "I don't know Miss Bellucci is here..."

Monica Bellucci quickly said, "That's right, Mr. Anderson. Your Embassy Pictures has released "Irrevocable" starring me. At that time, I was wondering if we will work together again. I took on another Hollywood film and wanted to ask if you have any interest in publishing."

Ronan knows Monica Bellucci starred in Warner Bros. The Matrix, but it can't be the series: "Don't know what movie it is?"

If it were those European art films, it would not make much sense to cooperate or not.

Embassy Pictures released "Irrevocable" and its profits have been added up to less than 300,000 US dollars. Now Embassy Pictures releases at least one movie every month, and the distribution and publicity resources are very tight. It is no longer the situation where there are fewer films in the past two years. It is impossible to waste your energy on art movies anymore.

Monica Bellucci detailed: "I took on a work directed by Mel Gibson last year. The film has completed all production two months ago and is looking for a publisher."

Mel Gibson Ronan was immediately attracted by the name. This guy is not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, my heart moved and the name of a video suddenly appeared in my mind. Could it be that very sensitive film?

"Can you tell me in detail?" Ronan asked.

Monica Bellucci detailed: "The title of the film was originally called "Furious", but later it was discovered that it was duplicated with a project of Miramax. Director and producer Mel Gibson changed its name to "The Passion", which mainly tells the last twelve hours of Jesus' life."

It was indeed this movie! Ronan remained silent: "I heard people talk about this movie."

I saw it on entertainment news at that time, and this film caused some criticism when it was launched.

Monica Bellucci asked, "Do you have time to watch this movie?"

Ronan did not give a positive answer, but asked, "How large is the investment scale of this film?"

Hollywood film companies are all guys who help to recognize money. Monica Bellucci has a deep understanding of it. They are not interested in art and only care about how much money art can bring to them.

Monica Beluci thought for a moment and said, "The production budget should be around 30 million US dollars."

Ronan asked deliberately: "Don't you contact the publisher before filming a video that has invested tens of millions of dollars? Haven't you found it yet?"

This is not a small production that invests millions. It is very rare in Hollywood if you dare to spend so much money without finding a good publisher.

"It seems that the crew has contacted a lot." Monica Bellucci smiled: "I have heard that, including the six major companies, they don't want to release this film."

Ronan nodded: "I get it."

Monica Bellucci asked again: "Mr. Anderson, can you take the time to watch this movie?"

"Yes." Ronan thought about his recent itinerary: "If you can contact the crew well, we will meet at Embassy Films at 2pm tomorrow."

Monica Bellucci said: "Okay, 2pm tomorrow."

After leaving Relativity Entertainment, Monica Bellucci first called the crew's deputy producer and then contacted Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson, who was frustrated by the release of the film, responded quickly and said that he would go to the Embassy Films in person tomorrow.

Mel Gibson, nicknamed "Savage", has a typical bad temper. The release of "The Crucifix" has always been a problem. Recently, the hottest face has begun to get bumps on his face.

No company is willing to release this film, and even Paramount Pictures, which has worked with him for many years, directly refused.

So far, only one small issuing company called New Market has expressed its intentions, but Mel Gibson has doubts about the issuance capabilities of small companies like New Market.

This film cost $30 million, and investors are watching his reputation as Mel Gibson!

Mel Gibson is full of confidence in the video he directed, but it would be too unfair if the video was hit on the release.

Embassy Films is good. When it comes to Hollywood distribution companies, it is still above DreamWorks, second only to the six major companies.

Mel Gibson rushed to the crew office to make corresponding preparations for tomorrow.

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Connie, under Ronan's instruction, heard a lot of news about "The Passion of Jesus".

"The producer of "The Crucifix" is Aiken Pictures." Connie told Ronan: "This is an independent production company founded by Mel Gibson in 1989. It has invested in "Hamlet", "Anna Karenina" and "Dangerous People". "The Crucifix" is the fourth independent film produced by Aiken Pictures."

Ronan nodded slightly: "The movie studio founded by the stars."

There are many companies like Aiken Pictures in Hollywood, and basically there is a studio under the names of big stars or big directors.

This is not only a need to participate in production and obtain dividends, but also legally avoid taxes.

Connie added: "The production cost of the film is $30 million, and it was independently financed by Aiken Pictures. Mel Gibson once claimed that it had been planned for more than ten years."

Ronan is a member of Hollywood and is very familiar with the situation in the circle. Some films may have been planned for ten years or even longer. For example, many film scripts are written and made into movies, and five or six years are the norm.

But some film producers claim this way more for publicity needs.

Ronan asked, “Where is the release?”

"All six major companies rejected Mel Gibson." Connie said what she learned: "Originally, Sony Columbia Pictures intended to release it, but after carefully understanding the content of the script, it also turned it off."

Ronan thought for a while and asked, "Do you know the reason?"

Connie said: "Everyone thinks that the possibility of this video failing is extremely high."

"Isn't the content sensitive?" Ronan asked.

Connie replied: "It shouldn't be."

Ronan waved his hand: "You go and notify the Embassy Films that there will be a film show tomorrow."

When Connie left, Ronan thought for a while and called Chris, an executive of Sony Columbia Pictures.

"Why did you think of calling me?" Chris' familiar voice came from the receiver.

Ronan said directly: "A friend came to me to promote a movie called "The Passion of Jesus". I didn't see the video, so it's hard to make a decision..."

Chris interrupted him: "Mel Gibson's new film?"

Ronan said: "Yes. I heard that Sony Columbia Pictures rejected this film."

"I refused." Chris did not deny: "I have participated in the movie watching conference and voted for a negative vote."

Ronan asked curiously: "The subject matter is sensitive?"

Chris couldn't help laughing: "What does the subject matter mean? This is never a problem that troubles Hollywood. It's the film made in a problem, and the style is very similar to Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ". The movie lost a box office miserably, and this movie probably won't be much better."

He immediately asked, "Ronan, you won't like this movie, right?"

Luo Nan smiled and said, "I haven't even seen the movie. I just heard someone briefly introduce it, but I can't judge it, so I feel that the subject matter is more sensitive."

Chris laughed: "Sensitivity of subject matter is never a problem. If you have money, we will manage the subject matter? Mainly because Mel Gibson did not shoot well. Ten people rejected the eleven film-watching experts who participated in watching the films in Sony Columbia Pictures. Oh, yes, the only one who did not reject it was a Jewish person."

Ronan half truth and half hypothesis said: "Tomorrow, the Embassy Film Industry will hold a film-selling meeting. I will watch the film first. If it doesn't work, I will turn it off. "The Last Temptation of Christ" is the biggest pain of Old Martin."

The two of them didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.

Ronan once read "The Passion of Jesus", and there are indeed some more sensitive controversial points. With Mel Gibson's personality, the scale may be larger.

Ronan doesn't care much about controversial and sensitive topics. Even if the two sides cooperate, the real impact will be the producers, especially the main creative team led by Mel Gibson, which has little impact on the publisher.
