As a screenwriter's work when Simon Kimberg graduated from university, the script of "Mr. Smith" was previously circulated in Hollywood for many years, but no one was filmed as a movie. Until Relativity Entertainment acquired Yijiang Film, Ronan saw the script in Yijiang Film's script library, and then the film was launched.

This video was once made through multiple companies before it was established.

The personal charm of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie completely suppresses the plot of the film.

Regardless of whether this charm is released in a positive form or not, it has finally attracted a large number of viewers to enter the theater to watch.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released in North America for the first weekend, in three days, and it collected $68.79 million in 3,925 theaters.

The film also ended the two consecutive championships of "War Worlds" and successfully topped the North American box office rankings.

On the other hand, although e's live ratings in the theater were only b, it gave North America an estimate of $230 million.

The reason why e gives box office expectations that are inconsistent with the audience's reputation is entirely because of the super gossip of Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

Because of the super gossip promotional effect, Embassy Films' total investment in the promotion and promotion of "Mr. Smiths" was only $50 million.

This action blockbuster with a total investment of US$150 million is expected to reach US$550 million based on market feedback.

The quality of the video alone seems not worthy of such a box office, but the film market has never been determined by the quality of the film.

It is not uncommon for a film to reach a sensational level like "Mr. Smith" to be a big hit at the box office.

Not every video is lucky enough to encounter such super gossip.

The influence of actors on the film is sometimes very great.

From the beginning, Ronan did not let Relativity Entertainment intervene in this matter. After rejecting Angelina Jolie, Embassy Films' promotion of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was mostly stopped.

Since the incident has been underway, the overall situation of "Mr. Smiths" has been decided.

After the film was released, more reports and rumors about Jennifer Aniston and his children appeared in the media. It was obvious that someone was secretly pushing it, which not only diverts the public's attention but also whitewas himself.

Jennifer Aniston was completely silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with her anymore.

Ronan received the latest news that Jennifer Aniston left North America and went to Africa to participate in charity activities, temporarily staying away from the public opinion vortex of Los Angeles.

In some ways, Angelina Jolie achieved her goal and won the love war with an extremely tough attitude.

Of course, the winner also has Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

This is also the only film released by Relativity Entertainment in June. Embassy Films has turned all its energy into "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul-Gathering Coffin".

The big sale of the first part laid a good audience foundation for the second part.

Since its release in 2003, Captain Jack Sparrow's fans have increased day by day, becoming one of the most popular Hollywood movie images since the New World.

Johnny Depp also seems to have a tendency to become Captain Jack Sparrow in reality.

In order to match the video promotion, Johnny Depp has been taking action recently, and Captain Jack Sparrow has frequently appeared all over the United States.

Today, the captain accepted the invitation of Ronan and Tom Cruise's ALS Charity Foundation and went to the nursing home to see the sick children.

Tomorrow, between receiving a letter of help, the captain airborne a middle school in Los Angeles to "punish" the arbitrary principal.

Ronan had previously talked with Johnny Depp's agent that under the strong constraints of the agency and the contract, Johnny Depp was currently relatively cooperative, and there was no outrageous incident in the publicity and announcement process.

But Johnny Depp's alcoholism and other problems are getting worse.

Robert Zemekis has talked with Sand Sea Entertainment about directing "Alice in Wonderland". Ronan will definitely not invite Johnny Depp to star in the role of Crazy Hat.

This project is under the leadership of Robert Zemikis, and the pace of pre-planning, shooting, production and promotion is completely based on "Avatar" as the standard.

In addition to continuing to prepare for special effects at the Wita Studio in Wellington, several assistants of James Cameron took a group to some famous scenic spots for outdoor inspections.

No real scene will exist alone, and the future will inevitably be integrated into the special effects production scene of the film in some form.

In the future, there will definitely be a large number of scenic spots around the world, rushing to say that a certain shot of "Avatar" comes from his own home.

It is a common phenomenon to ride on the popularity around the world.

James Cameron returned to Los Angeles in mid-June to have an interview with Ronan, and also brought a video of Jessica Alba's test motion capture performance, which highly recommended that Jessica Alba play the leading actress Nami.

The heroine will not have any live-action shots in the film, all of which will appear in the situation of motion capture. Jessica Alba participated in the experiment and production of motion capture special effects throughout the whole process. Of course, Ronan would not object and directly asked Shahai Entertainment to send a special person to negotiate with Jessica Alba's agent.

Although James Cameron claimed that "Avatar" could only shoot one and there was no planning for the sequel, Ronan was mentally prepared for the sequel.

One of them is to sign a long contract with the actor.

Jessica Alba is a star who is barely enough to be on the second line. The "Fantastic Four" starring just now has messed up again. The pay is very cheap. According to the consistent standards in the circle, the maximum pay for starring in "Avatar" will not exceed 500,000 US dollars.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shahai Entertainment can handle it with $300,000.

After Ronan tested James Cameron's plan for the sequel, he did not talk to him about this issue. However, after "Avatar" succeeds, he will personally have a good exchange with James Cameron on this issue.

You can't turn the sequel to "Avatar" into a lifetime series.

The sequel to "Avatar" was pushed back and forth. Many movie fans who grew up watching "Terminator 2" and "Titanic" even joked that the biggest regret in their future life may be that they did not see "Avatar 2".

Skip votes became the norm for the sequel to "Avatar".

Of course, this does not mean that James Cameron has made enough money and lacks motivation to shoot new movies. One of the reasons is the film technology.

James Cameron has always wanted to use new film shooting, production and screening techniques in his new works.

There were once rumors on the Internet that James Cameron is working with Sony Movies to develop a brand new naked-eye 3D technology.

It is difficult for movie fans to judge whether these news is true or false.

As a pioneer of new film technology and a director at the forefront, James Cameron attaches much importance to technology than ordinary people imagine.

In the preparations of the "Avatar" crew in Vita Studio, many shooting scenes need to be operated by James Cameron's team.

These are the results of James Cameron's years of accumulation.

It is no exaggeration to say that a director would never achieve such great technical success as "Avatar" without years of technical accumulation.

James Cameron has been at the forefront of Hollywood in terms of technology since filming "Alien 2".

It is not enough to rely solely on James Cameron's team for the special effects production of "Avatar"; Vita Studio needs to be the case in motion capture, and more special effects productions are handled by Industrial Light and Magic.

The production of such a movie is like a super project.

At the same time, Neil Bromkamp, ​​deputy director of special effects production of James Cameron's team, also negotiated cooperation with Shahai Entertainment.

Neil Bromkamp sold the copyright of the short film "Aliens in Johannesburg" to Shahai Entertainment for a symbolic price of $1, and got the opportunity to direct the feature film.

After the two parties signed the contract, Neil Bromkamp completed the first draft of the script as fast as possible, and faxed it to Los Angeles and handed it over to Ronan for personal review.

The title of this script is called "The Ninth District".

The main plot of the script is roughly the same as Ronan’s impression. The alien image settings that come with the script are very unique.

Since Neil Bromkamp also has to participate in the special effects production of "Avatar" and is still the more critical deputy director of special effects, it is definitely impossible to leave the crew of "Avatar" at this stage. The "Ninth District" project can only be classified as Shahai Entertainment's future plan.

At the earliest, one stage of the special effects production of "Avatar" can be completed before Neil Bromkamp can make friends with his successor.

James Cameron is quite good to the team and has not set any obstacles for Neil Bromkamp. If nothing unexpected happens, "The Ninth District" will start preparations as early as next year.

In contrast, the Indian novel "Q&A" that obtained the adapted copyright was much slower.

This will not be a commercial project, but it will inevitably be one of the awards season works in the future.

In a certain awards season, Relativity Entertainment cannot launch too many works. Not to mention the dispersion of resources, Oscar judges rarely choose movies from the same company one after another when voting.

This year's "Brokeback Mountain" and next year's "Walking Walker" are all key projects in the next two award seasons of Relativity Entertainment.

There is also a "Gril" directed by David Finch. Due to the relatively slow progress of the project, it is not possible to determine which awards season will be launched.

In this way, although it is clear that the director is the one who directs "Train Guess", Ronan has not had anyone contacted him for the time being.
Chapter completed!
