With the current situation of the Oscars, the Oscar public relations consumption of any film is rising like a price, and any film company in Hollywood will carefully weigh it before the Olympics, whether the input and output will be proportional, otherwise any film will rush into this Oscar high consumption, which will only make the company lose money.

There is no doubt that the Oscar public relations has always been a high level of consumption, and the North American box office that "Full of Golden Armor" may reach does not seem to be cost-effective in supporting the Oscar public relations, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of marketing.

Sitting at a small round table, watching the screening lively, Ronan asked Connie, who was sitting at the same table, "What do you think?"

"It feels imposing. "Connie tells the truth" Although the story is not understood, the film is full of momentum and the colors are also very gorgeous, which seems to be a step further than "Haze on All Sides". ”

Ronan took a sip of the water glass, the momentum brought by the large-scale group gymnastics was majestic, and it was no wonder that he would be the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games later.

It doesn't feel like there's anyone better suited than him.

Back to this film.

It's a pity that chrysanthemums haven't really become a buzzword in this era, otherwise they wouldn't be so big that people can't take their attention off them.

I guess many people remember that song.

"The chrysanthemum is broken, full of wounds, your underwear has yellowed ......"

Connie's reminder interrupted Ronan's ramblings: "Director Zhang is here with someone." ”

Ronan came back to his senses and happened to see Director Zhang coming over with an oriental girl, the girl was vaguely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Good evening, Ronan. Director Zhang knew that Ronan could speak Chinese, and he didn't greet him in English, which he was not used to at all, and smiled with a smile on his face: "I am very honored that you can come to the film viewing party." ”

Ronan stood up and shook his hand, and said in Chinese, "Zhang, we are old friends, don't be so polite." ”

Director Zhang exchanged a few more pleasantries, shook hands with Connie, and then beckoned the girl to step forward and said, "Ronan, do you remember Miss Wan?"

Ronan felt familiar, but couldn't remember, and asked in Chinese, "Miss Wan, we've met before?"

The girl was very polite, and seeing that Ronan couldn't remember, she quickly introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Anderson, I'm Wan Qian, and I was your temporary translator and guide at the Shanghai International Film Festival a few years ago." ”

Hearing this, Ronan thought about it, couldn't help but tapped his head, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Miss Wan, it's my fault, I actually forgot about it." ”

Wan Qian looked at Ronan's apologetic face, and suddenly felt that this Hollywood superboss and the world-famous super-rich man were different from those top people she had come into contact with in the past, and there was a rare sense of sincerity.

Director Zhang saw Ronan and thought about it, and interjected at the right time, "Miss Wan also plays a role in this film......

Choosing Wan Qian to play a supporting actress was also a decision he made, and bringing Wan Qian over was also the result of careful consideration.

But the effect seems to be so-so, and Ronan Anderson has clearly forgotten about the girl.

"You two, you may be seated. Ronan greeted, waited for the two to sit down, and didn't care about Director Zhang for the time being, "Miss Wan, I didn't expect to meet you again in Los Angeles." ”

Wan Qian smiled and said, "I was also surprised. ”

Ronan said: "I didn't expect Miss Wan to enter the showbiz. ”

Wan Qian looked very quiet, and deliberately said, "I also want to thank Director Zhang, he gave me the opportunity." "She is a smart girl, she knows that she doesn't belong to Hollywood, and it is difficult to stay in Hollywood, Director Zhang is the key to the future" After I graduated, I was depressed for a few years, if it wasn't for Director Zhang, I might be wasted. ”

"Depressed?" Ronan wondered, "Now that I think about it, I can remember that you were a sunny and cheerful girl......"

Wan Qian smiled embarrassedly, "Addicted to games, living in the virtual world every day." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, "You can get rid of it, it's worth congratulating." He then said to Director Zhang, "Zhang, you have discovered a good actor again." ”

Director Zhang said with a smile, "Xiaowan is a piece of jade, and her potential is not under Lizao." ”

Ronan didn't notice her in the film at all, and he couldn't comment on this, so he casually replied, "It's really good." ”

Director Zhang's heart moved, "Mr. Anderson, the media are saying that this year is a small year for North American films......"

Ronan knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted him at the right time, "Zhang, "Full of Golden Armor" is your collaboration with Sony Classics, not with Relativity Entertainment. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qian and changed to the previous ......

Unfortunately, since Will Smith was so frightened that he collapsed on the couch at St. Mary's Hospital, Ronan's mentality has changed, and many of his thoughts are different from before.

Gradually, recalling the memories of a few years ago, Wan Qian left a very good impression on him, and Ronan felt that he should keep the impression of this good girl instead of destroying it himself.

Ronan instructed Connie, "Miss Wan helped me back then, and I haven't thanked me. You take the young lady to Finch and pick up a New Year's gift package prepared by the company for VIPs. ”

When Wan Qian heard this, she hurriedly wanted to refuse.

"This is my apology and my gratitude for being late. Ronan said very seriously, "Miss Wan, this is just a souvenir to keep good memories, please don't refuse, okay?"

Wan Qian's impression of Ronan was excellent, and she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

She didn't stay here anymore and followed Connie away.

Director Zhang said at this time: "Mr. Anderson is still as kind as ever. ”

Ronan smiled, "She helped me, and I deserve to be grateful." He simply said directly, "Zhang, do you have something to do with me?" We have been friends for many years, so don't hesitate to say anything." ”

Director Zhang is not embarrassed, the Oscar golden man has always been his haunting entanglement, where is it so easy to get rid of.

And hitting the Oscars several times in a row also made him have a certain judgment on the situation of hedging against the Olympics, and this "City Full of Golden Armor" is destined to be disappointed.

Every time you start with hope, every time you end in failure......

The ups and downs, the ridicule of the media, and the incomprehension of his peers, only he has a deep experience.

But when I think of Ang Lee, there is always an inexplicable bitterness.

Ang Lee won the best foreign language film first, and won the best director last year, what is the basis?

Isn't that the young man on the other side?

Some things, at that point, are not so difficult to speak, Director Zhang asked tentatively, "Ronan, you are the best producer in Hollywood, and Relativity Entertainment invests in the production and shooting of so many films every year, do you think there is one suitable for me?"

Ronan sighed softly, "Zhang, the production style and route of Relativity Entertainment don't match your directorial style. ”

Director Zhang wanted to defend himself, but Ronan raised his hand to stop him, "Listen to me, Zhang, you are an oriental film master, an internationally famous director, whether there is an Oscar or not, this will not change anything." ”

Hearing Ronan's words, Director Zhang held back the words that came to his lips.

Ronan saw that "Hero" made Relativity Entertainment tens of millions of dollars, and simply said, "The Oscar is a game of fame and fortune, a game of fame and fortune in Hollywood, and it is not friendly to outsiders, unless you are willing to completely change like Ang Lee, but in that case, is it still your work?"

At this point, Ronan didn't say more, and said goodbye at the right time, "It's not too early, I'll go first, and you're welcome to have time to come to the Relativity Mansion." ”

Director Zhang got up and shook hands with Ronan and sent him to the door of the venue, and when he came back, he had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he had considered Ronan's words.

Ronan met up with Connie and Finch, exited the hotel and got into the car.

As for what Director Zhang over there will think, it's not up to him to decide.

This is not the first time Ronan has reminded him, but it will be the last time, as long as the film master lets go of the Oscar obsession, his own level is beyond doubt.

Connie next to her said at this time, "I gave the gift to Miss Wan, and she asked me to thank you." Also, I gave her my contact details and she was in trouble in Los Angeles and was always available to call me. ”

Ronan nodded slightly, "You just look at it." ”

About Wan Qian, and what has to do with her, going to Connie is the end.

Connie didn't speak again, vaguely feeling that her boss seemed to have changed, but she couldn't say what had changed.

Finch was just a bodyguard and a security assistant, and that sort of thing wasn't his concern.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" began to be screened in North America, and the word-of-mouth was unexpectedly good, with a 72% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes at the beginning, and an average score of 73 points from the D audience, which seems to be much better than the bombardment of the media and the criticism on the Internet.

In fact, Zhang's three martial arts masterpieces, that is, the three films that are ambitious and want to win the Olympics, have a good reputation in North America, but his mind may be on the Oscars and overseas audiences, ignoring the most fundamental feelings of domestic audiences.

As Ronan said, the Oscars are a game of fame and fortune in Hollywood, and the audience on the other side of the Pacific is the foundation of Zhang's existence.

What's even more unexpected is that among the top ten movies of the year in the world announced by "Time", "The City Full of Golden Armor" is impressively listed!

Faced with these situations, Ronan didn't know what to say.

I only hope that Director Zhang will not be fooled by the North American media.

In the next few days, Director Zhang also came to visit the Relativity Building, and Ronan did not mention the previous incident, but just warmly received him and his party.

It is estimated that the big director may not have time to take care of the Oscars in the future, and there will be people over there who will directly order the generals soon.

In the prosperous world of the whole country, the crucial opening ceremony must of course be directed by a person who can hold the stage.

It was truly an unparalleled event, and probably no other event in the history of the Olympics could compare to it.

Ronan didn't pay too much attention to the people or things over there, and the competition for the North American awards season has entered the hottest stage at this stage.
