In the studio of the Embassy Film Industry, the company's senior management gathered together and watched the film being screened attentively.

Mel Gibson, who was a bit wild, sat quietly on the sofa chair, and his eyes passed by Monica Bellucci next to him from time to time and landed on Ronan Anderson on the other side.

Whether the film can get the green light from the Embassy Film Industry is all about this young man.

Although Mel Gibson is a savage with a bad temper, he is somewhat reliable without drinking.

Besides, in recent times, the pain of this film has been tragic, which is related to the investment of $30 million. If you have a temper and have ideas, you have to endure it for the time being.

For the American market, this is a foreign language film, and the dialogues of the film are all in Latin and Aramaic, but fortunately there are subtitles.

To a certain extent, this is a very documentary and expressive film.

But the culture is something that people like Ronan cannot understand at all.

What I know about Jesus is basically based on Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper".

The film was bloody and had a relatively large scale. If the Embassy Film Company sent it to the rating committee, it might have encountered some trouble, but before the filming began, he had a conversation with Mel Gibson, Aiken Film Company had already sent it to the rating, and the MPAA was rated as R.

If we really cooperate, it will also reduce some of the troubles for the Embassy Films.

After learning about the basic situation with Mel Gibson, Ronan also roughly understood why he had hit a wall everywhere before. At the beginning, Mel Gibson did not intend to add subtitles to the video!

How many people can understand Latin and Aramaic?

The constant encounters with the wall also dispelled Mel Gibson's too idealistic ideas and gradually became realistic.

After getting this version of the filming of Embassy Pictures, not only did it add English subtitles, but also appropriately deleted some too bloody shots.

For directors and producers, compromise is also an art.

Monica Bellucci starred in the film Maria Magdalene.

This name suddenly reminded Ronan of an overlooked "The Da Vinci Code".

Speaking of which, the content of "The Code of Da Vinci" is more sensitive than "The Passion of Jesus", which simply subverts the tradition of the church.

Looking back, I have asked if this is published.

It seems that it has caused a sensation with the movies, and even involves the glass pyramids of the Louvre.

The movie screening is over, the lights are on, and the pull-up will come to an end for the time being.

Mel Gibson immediately stood up, walked to Ronan, and asked in a muffled voice: "Mr. Anderson, is this movie OK?"

This man spoke loudly and his daily behavior was a bit rude. Ronan turned a blind eye. After all, he was just talking about business and was not about making friends with the other party.

"A very good movie." Ronan said all the formulaic words: "A very impactful work."

When Mel Gibson heard this, he was a little disappointed, and smiled and said, "I hope we can cooperate."

For the sake of subsequent negotiations, Ronan would not give him too much hope at this time. He said politely: "I hope so." He glanced at the senior executives of the Embassy Films who were walking out one after another: "Mr. Gibson, please wait for a while, we have to discuss it."

In this situation, Mel Gibson was a little patient and said, "Okay, please."

After leaving the film room, Ronan went directly to the conference room on the other side, including Garcia Rodriguez, who were discussing the film "The Crucifix".

Luo Nan patted his palm gently: "Tell me what you think."

Alan Albert, director of the overseas distribution department, spoke first: "The risk is very high. This is a foreign language film, and the box office of foreign language films has always been poor in North America."

"R-level films." said Terry, director of offline distribution department: "This is a disadvantage."

Ronan said: "These are also my concerns."

Danny Donald said at this time: "Will the content of the video cause controversy?"

"I'm afraid there is no controversy in the film," said David Villa, director of the publicity department. "Not talking about the content of the film, from a controversial perspective, this is a very selling movie."

Ronan has made many publicity suggestions to the propaganda department in recent years. Perhaps influenced by Ronan, David Villa increasingly feels that controversy is not a bad thing.

Thomas of the theater distribution department also felt that this was not a bad thing and said: "If the video can cause controversy, we can create a selling point even if there is no selling point."

Allen Albert is still cautious: "Controversy is indeed not a bad thing, but in terms of the content of this film, will the controversy become criticism?"

Ronan looked at Garcia Rodriguez: "What do you think?"

Garcia Rodriguez said: "The concerns of criticism are that they may involve religious and ethnic issues. I am not good at judging the film, but we can let go of the concerns of criticism."

He looked at Allen Albert and said with a smile: "We are just the publisher and have nothing to do with the creation of the film. Even if there is any criticism, there are also producers and Mel Gibson in front of it."

David Villa suddenly thought of the original "Blair of the Witch" and said: "Even if there is criticism, you can push the creative team in front of you. This is what they deserve."

Garcia Rodriguez said again: "Even if there is really criticism, even if we do nothing, we will not be able to reach our side. With Mel Gibson's personality and temper, if someone attacks this video, he will definitely be ignited by anger and rob everyone of his attention."

Thomas continued: "So, don't worry about objective conditions."

Allen Albert thought about these words carefully and said, "Nothing seems to be a problem, the rest is whether we want to take this video."

Ronan said directly: "Let's negotiate with Mel Gibson, it's better to buy out this video."

Garcia Rodriguez continued: "Strive to buy out, but it is difficult to buy out such a video."

Ronan picked up his mobile phone: "You can decide which transaction method is specific to you depending on the situation."

"You are not here, and it seems that the company does not pay attention to this video." David Thomas said with a smile: "Garcia is also prone to lowering the conditions."

Ronan smiled, without saying anything, and left the Embassy Films directly.

Before he could walk out of the office building where the Embassy Pictures was located, Monica Bellucci chased after him from behind.

"Ronan!" she greeted.

"Miss Bellucci." Ronan turned to look at her: "Why are you here?"

When he left the studio, Monica Bellucci was also with Mel Gibson.

Monica Bellucci shook the cell phone in his hand and said with a smile: "I came out to make a call and happened to see you."

Where did so many happen? Ronan didn't reveal it and said, "I have something to do today, so I'll talk about it if I have time."

Monica Bellucci asked tentatively: "Don't you talk to director Gibson anymore?"

Ronan showed an apology smile: "I have urgent matters to deal with."

Of course, Monica Bellucci would not believe Ronan's words, and immediately had a guess in his heart. Ronan did not pay much attention to Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Jesus".

This possibility is very high...

Ronan waved his hand: "I'll leave first, goodbye."

Monica Bellucci smiled: "Goodbye."

Seeing Ronan exiting the office building gate, Monica Bellucci quickly edited a text message and sent it to Mel Gibson.

This film has missed many publishers. Apart from the new market companies she has never heard of, only Relativity Entertainment is willing to talk to the producers.

Ronan returned to Relativity Entertainment and received a call from Tony Koch. During the Cannes Film Festival, Florian Donasma, recommended by Tony Koch, has completed the preparations for "Eavesdropping Storm" with the assistance of the producer hired by Sand Sea Entertainment. It is about to enter the shooting stage. It is expected that all shooting will be completed before the end of the year and all production will be completed by the end of April.

The director wants to participate in the three major European film festivals.

The operation of the award is Ronan's planned operation plan. This typical political type of film is still a German film, and there is no more suitable for the Berlin Film Festival than the Berlin Film Festival.

Ronan sent an email to the overseas distribution department of the Embassy Film Industry, asking them to apply for the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival next year for Eavesdropping Storm.

Maybe I can bring back a Berlin Golden Bear for Relativity Entertainment.

After dealing with this, Ronan contacted the crew of "Survival in the Wild" far away on Amazon at night.

This reality show, destined to shape the "man standing at the top of the food chain", has walked through dangerous environments such as glaciers, deserts, swamps and wastelands, and entered the tropical rainforests of South America.

Although I encountered various difficulties and several times someone was injured, the program team still persisted, especially Bell Griers' performance, which made many people look at him with admiration.

After the South American jungle filming is over, the crew of Survival of the Wild will return to Los Angeles to start the same intense post-production.

This is one of the opening shows of Netflix’s streaming business next year.

Another opening drama is "Prison Break".

The crew has been formed and the director has a suitable candidate. In order to ensure the success of the opening drama, Shahai Entertainment invested heavily and hired Bright Ratner, who had directed "Rush Hour" and "Red Dragon" as the director.

Bright Ratner is not a storied figure at the top of the Hollywood pyramids, but he, who is ranked in the "middle" part, is the "backbone" in this solid industrial chain.

In addition, Bright Ratner has a bad reputation in some aspects and is said to often harasse the actresses on the crew.

Of course, these are not a big deal for the production company. The first thing the production company considers when inspecting directors is its business ability. Now it is too far from the rise of Mitu. At that time, Shahai Entertainment will end its cooperation with Brett Ratner.

Besides, this crew is basically full of male actors.
Chapter completed!
