Chapter 777
On the way back, Ronan said, "Twentieth Century Fox must have made a mistake." He glanced at Jessica Filton sitting next to him and asked, "What was the biggest mistake they made?"
Jessica Felton asked instead, “What do you think?”
Ronan smiled: "Jesse, I want to hear what you think."
Jessica Felton is a smart woman. It is clear that Ronan invites her to watch such a movie with a purpose, but it is definitely not the purpose of romance between men and women.
"I personally think that the biggest mistake of Twentieth Century Fox is not the rumor of re-editing Ridley Scott's director editing version." Jessica Felton said very seriously: "It's not that the producer should lead another team to do the editing."
Ronan nodded slowly, which was also his opinion.
Jessica Felton continued: "The person who knows the project best is director Ridley Scott. Twentieth Century Fox is not wrong to shorten the length of "Dynasty" for commercial and audience tolerance. But they should let the person who knows the film best, that is, director Ridley Scott, himself host the secondary editing work, so that the film may not be like this now."
Ronan fully agrees: "If Ridley Scott takes action, "Dynasty" should ensure the most basic fluency and plot logic."
Jessica Felton said casually: "It seems we have a good understanding."
Ronan laughed: "Our philosophy at work is getting closer and closer."
In fact, Relativity Entertainment has encountered similar situations, such as "Hellboy" by Gilmore Del Toro, but Ronan is dissatisfied with the editing version submitted by the director, and will also call it back, and the director will edit it again according to his request.
The producers are more in control of the overall situation, and the director is often the one who knows the most about the film itself.
"Hellboy" has a box office of more than 80 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of up to 200 million US dollars, which also proves its feasibility.
The car stopped in front of Jessica Felton's single-family villa. Jessica Felton pushed open the car door and got out, and turned around and said, "It's getting late, and the house is a bit messy. I won't invite you in and sit down."
Ronan thought of the super horrifying thrilling scene when he first met Jessica Phil, and had no idea of going in. He just reminded him: "Women should still be more refined when they find a few hours to clean up."
Jessica Felton waved his hand: "I get it, I have a housekeeping company that I work with."
"Good night." She said to Ronan again.
Ronan waved to Jessica Felton: "Good night."
It was not until Jessica Felton entered the villa that Ronan said to the driver David: "Go back to the manor."
When he returned home, because "Dynasty of Heaven" will form a direct competition with "Dynasty of Heaven 3" this weekend, Ronan specially looked at the reputation related to "Dynasty of Heaven".
The response of the release version was very bad. Many people commented that the plot was very abrupt and always felt that the plot was very jumpy. After watching it for more than an hour, I couldn't understand what I was talking about.
This is obviously the consequence of the editing.
In addition to the plot, Orlando Bloom also received numerous negative reviews.
"The Elf Prince's acting skills are really terrible."
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of audience reputation, the gap between "Dynasty of Heaven" and "Spy Shadows 3" is too big, and it is not a movie of the same level at all.
The most intuitive reflection of the market response is undoubtedly the cinema score's on-site score. The average score of "Spy Shadows 3" is a+, while "Dynasty of Heaven" is only c.
This difference is directly reflected in the box office.
"Dynasty of Heaven" has been on the weekend for three days in North America, earning only US$17.95 million. Compared with the film's investment and release scale, it is undoubtedly a silence.
However, the summer season has just begun, and there are not many films that are truly super competitive in the market. "Dynasty of Heaven" also easily sits at the second place in the North American box office list.
This week's North American box office champion was successfully defended by "Spy Shadows 3".
With the support of good reputation, this agent action film has a very stable trend. On the second weekend of its release in North America, it won another $42.77 million, ranking first in the box office list again.
In addition to the box office revenue of the previous four working days, "Spy Shadows 3" has accumulated a total of US$151.28 million in ten days after its release in North America.
As the film appears in more overseas markets, the global box office has successfully exceeded the 300 million US dollars mark.
As the final work of the trilogy, the sensational and market response caused by "Spy Shadows 3" is significantly greater than the previous two.
In contrast, "Dynasty of Heaven" became the first box office tragedy in the summer of 2005.
The first box office tragedy occurred, will the second one be far away?
DreamWorks and Spielberg have sent invitations to the premiere of "Escape from the Cloned Island" specifically to send people to Relativity Entertainment.
In any case, Relativity Entertainment currently belongs to the united front with DreamWorks, and Ronan has also set his sights on Michael Bay and has been waiting for the release of "Escape from the Cloned Island", so he agreed to Spielberg's invitation to premiere without hesitation.
The market response of Easy-going "Spy Shadows 3" is becoming more and more enthusiastic. Netflix CEO Mark Randolph specially called Ronan to ask if there is any possibility of "Spy Shadows" series being synthesized and exclusively broadcasting on Netflix's streaming platform.
This is indeed a way to continue to develop the "Spy Shadows" series. Ronan did not refuse, but he also explicitly stated that it is not suitable in the short term.
After all, the movie trilogy has just been completed, and the relevant reactions need time to ferment, and the emotional effect also needs time to brew.
"Spy Shadows 3" has created a nearly perfect ending for the series, which is not suitable for continued development for the time being.
The media almost praised "Spy Shadows 3".
"As the finale of the classic series, it still successfully continues this series of outstanding styles. The concise dialogue, solid and reliable performance, gorgeous editing and soundtracks are always gripping, both in the process and the ending."
Jason Bourne retired, but he is still alive, living at the end of the movie and in the hearts of movie fans. As long as the time is right, he can make a comeback again.
There is no movie series that will be completed forever in Hollywood, only movie series that will not be profitable.
With the great success of the "Spy Shadows" series, director Paul Greengrass found an investment producer for his new project "Bloody Sunday" as fast as possible.
Red Bus Film Company from the UK took advantage of the huge popularity caused by "Spy Shadows 3" to jointly convene a press conference with Paul Greengrass in London, announcing that the two sides will cooperate to film "Bloody Sunday".
The "Spy Shadows" series has brought plenty of capital to Paul Greengrass. Paul Greengrass is no longer the little director who was ignored before. Even if Ronan has no interest in "Bloody Sunday", it is not difficult to find a partner for this project.
New directors and famous directors have never been a kind of director.
If it is a new director, it is too difficult to find an investment in this project.
The cooperation between Matt Damon and Relativity Entertainment has come to an end for the time being. From the beginning of "The Mind Catcher", to the commercial production of "Saving Private Ryan", to the peak of the "Spy Shadows" series, Matt Damon finally became cute.
This is an actor who looks very simple, is actually very smart, and is very good at dealing with human relationships.
At least Ronan has a very good impression of him and highly recognizes his market appeal and commercial value. If there is still a chance in the future, Relativity Entertainment will definitely continue to cooperate with Matt Damon.
Compared to the awesome Ben Affleck, Ronan prefers Matt Damon.
Of course, "Spy Shadows 3" is not liked by everyone. In fact, there are a large number of people criticizing the camera used by the crew for having Parkinson's disease.
As the new week begins, Ronan needs to stay in North America to participate in the premiere of DreamWorks for "Escape from the Clones" and has no time to travel to Europe to watch the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals this season.
The two semi-finals were held in Eindhoven and London respectively.
The first place to enter the finals of the Istanbul Olympic Stadium was the first to be won by AC Milan.
Although he defeated AC Milan 3-1 at home, Eindhoven was eliminated by the disadvantage of having few away goals.
Then, the second leg of the second semi-final kicked off at Chelsea’s home Stamford Bridge Stadium.
After a period of adjustment, Mourinho showed his magic. The Chelsea team, which was originally turbulent internally, was once again combined by him into a whole. Not only did he win consecutive games in the recent Premier League, but he was only 5 points behind Manchester United, but he also showed strong combat effectiveness in this game.
Less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored a goal and scored the second goal before the end of the first half.
The lead 2-0 at home and the total score was 2-4, which gave Chelsea hope of a comeback.
But Chelsea faces Manchester United!
It’s not Manchester United, who became the second-rate Premier League in more than ten years, but Manchester United of Ferguson!
It is very difficult to defeat Manchester United, which is Ferguson.
During the halftime break, the Ferguson hair dryer power was turned up to the maximum. Manchester United returned to normal in the second half, and the real Manchester United team was back.
After all, this is a Manchester United team with attackers such as Robben, Fanny, Alonso, Rooney, Rooney and Drogba.
In the second half, Manchester United took the lead in the away game, completely suppressing Mourinho's Chelsea, and quickly moved a goal back from Ronaldo.
Chelsea was forced into a desperate situation, and Mourinho began to fight for his life frantically. In the front, Terry, who served as the center, Chelsea once had five forwards on the court.
But the result of his life-threatening attack was that Robben succeeded in the counterattack!
In the end, the two sides tied 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United successfully entered Istanbul!
Chapter completed!
