The screening is about to start, while the lights on the ceiling have not been extinguished, Ronan carefully observed in the theater, although the scale of publicity and marketing of "Ace Agent" is not large, but it is very targeted, and some viewers have entered the theater, but the number of people is not too large.

Roughly counting, there are about 20 people, some men and some women, and most of them are men, more than two-thirds.

The lights were fairly bright, and Ronan could distinguish between men and women, and he couldn't see the ethnicity from behind, and he could vaguely see a lot of black people.

This kind of film in which ethnic minorities sing the leading role is really the power of the black uncles.

Nowadays, the reality is that the proportion of white audiences in theaters is gradually decreasing, and the proportion of minority audiences is steadily increasing, which is also related to the social environment.

If the two sides suddenly reverse their positions in the future, the white leftists will really trap themselves.

Ronan is a pseudo-white-left and pseudo-progressive, there is no doubt about that, and there are many more like him in North America.

Even with the insight of his previous life, he couldn't understand what the "true-white leftists" thought.

Maybe they all went to Arkham Asylum to study?

As the saying goes, Black Gate Prison is responsible for physical training, but Arkham is a spiritual all-round guide.

Black Gate teaches pediatrics, and Arkham is the place where people are truly reborn.

The film began to be screened, first with the opening credits of the distributor Embassy Pictures, then with a desert of the producer Shahai Entertainment, and then the film began in a ping-pong action scene.

Compared with the various black technologies of the previous life of "Ace Agent", as well as the action scenes of large scenes, this "Ace Agent" is too shabby, there is basically no black technology, and the fight basically relies on shaking......

The action shots shot by Paul Greengrass already have a shadow of the action style of "Spy 2".

The sharp editing creates a bullet-like rhythm, the simple plot is clear at a glance, and with the addition of agents and action, this film still has a certain appeal.

The plot of the film is very simple, it is almost the same as the one in the previous life, roughly the hero's father died when he was trained by a world secret service organization, and the actor grew up happily under the serious and responsible funding of the Abu Dhabi official, until one day a group of white terrorists suddenly appeared in Abu Dhabi, resulting in serious injuries to the Arab officials who funded him, and the actor learned about his father's glorious deeds from the dying Arab officials, looking at the dead officials and the innocent people who were killed and injured everywhere, he decided to find the organization and join the organization.

The male protagonist uses his father's relics to successfully join the organization, the teacher is a black man, the classmates around him are all ethnic minorities, and the only white man is still a bad guy and a soft egg......

There are traitors within the organization, colluding with terrorists, killing black teachers, and using calling cards to drive people all over the world crazy in order to achieve the goal of healing the earth.

Then the hero and his companions went into the lair of terrorists, and in the background of the world's madness, they killed all the white terrorists, saved the world, and by the way, they soaked in a beautiful woman.

The routines are very traditional, but the style is unique.

Fortunately, the shaky footage of this film is a technical jitter, and unlike the dizzy shake of "Blair the Witch", the 2D movie doesn't look dizzy.

Ronan has seen this "Ace Agent" many times in post-production, but on the big screen, it looks very different from the pull room.

Probably because I naturally like this kind of pure entertainment film, watching it on the big screen can mobilize hormones more.

Of course, there are almost no big scenes in the film, no parachute training, no 100 slashes, and no headshot fireworks.

Then there is the Swedish princess Madeleine, the other party is still a girl, Ronan is not shameless enough to insinuate a minor, and the beauty can just find an heir to the so-called multinational group.

At the end of the screening, there was no applause or scolding, just like most movies, the audience's entertainment ended, they packed up their mood and left, and continued their daily life.

Taking advantage of the lights on, Ronan took a quick look, and as expected, most of the twenty or so spectators were ethnic minorities, and there were more than fifteen of them.

Out of the theater, someone was doing a theater scene survey and was asking a black audience.

"I think I can play B, the action scenes are great!" said the black man, "It would be nice to have more scenes for black characters." ”

When Ronan passed, the man tried to stop him, but Ronan waved his hand and walked away.

Ronan then went to another theater near the minority community, which had significantly higher attendance than before.

After watching three theaters in a row, Ronan has the most intuitive feeling that the film "Ace Agent" will not explode at the box office, but it will not be super big.

Early Saturday morning, the relevant statistics were sent to Embassy Pictures and also to Ronan, and the film won $1.45 million in 1,500 theaters on its opening day.

The box office was close to $1,000, slightly better than Ronan expected.

And the single-day box office on Saturday also rose a cut, winning $1.55 million.

Three days after the opening weekend, "Ace Agent" earned $4.1 million in North America.

"With a single box office of less than $3,000, it is impossible to add more theaters. ”

In the Los Angeles branch of Imperial Entertainment, Miller looked at Thomas opposite and said: "We have a lot of support for Embassy Pictures this time, but the box office of this film is average, if it weren't for the success of "Blair the Witch", we would definitely have to reduce the theater screening and film schedule next week." ”

Thomas said: "Embassy Pictures is very satisfied to maintain the current number of theaters. ”

The box office of the film is not strong, he has no confidence to speak, and Embassy Pictures is not a big company, everything depends on the market.

Miller is a good talker: "We've had a successful collaboration with 'Blair the Witch,' so I'm personally willing to take some of the pressure on your company to keep 'Ace Agent' running at its current scale. ”

"Thank you. Thomas knew that this was all false, but he also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Miller, for your support." ”

Miller continued to sell favors that didn't cost money: "Because of the poor box office impact of this "Ace Agent", the head office once wanted to reduce the number of theaters for your other film "The Grim Reaper", and I tried my best to fight for "The Grim Reaper" to ensure that the situation did not change. ”

Thomas said with a smile: "Mr. Miller's friendship, Embassy Pictures will keep in mind." He pulled out an invitation and handed it over: "Embassy Pictures welcomes Mr. Miller to the premiere of "The Grim Reaper." ”

Miller accepted the invitation and said, "I'll go as long as time permits." ”

"I won't disturb Mr. Miller's work. Thomas took his leave and left.

Opening the invitation, Miller looked at it, and finally his eyes fell on the issuer of the invitation, which was a name that he had heard many times but had never seen in real person - Ronan Anderson.

Since the success of "Blair the Witch", news of this person has begun to circulate within several theater companies in North America, as for the content, it is nothing more than how amazing Ronan Anderson is, two consecutive movies with low investment have been a big success, especially "Blair the Witch".

The key to the success of "Blair the Witch" is directed and producer Daniel Mollick, but anyone who deals directly with distribution companies knows that the person who developed a series of coquettish operations that can be called miracles is Ronan Anderson.

For a time, many people were saying that Ronan Anderson was a man of God.

Having been in the film industry for many years, Miller has never believed in the doctrine of Godmen, and there is no so-called Godman in the film industry, even if a successful producer is, there will be a day of failure.

After only two successful films, Ronan Anderson suffered a failure.

Miller began to worry a little about "The Grim Reaper", once the successful producer goes downhill, it often fails one after another, if this horror film produced by Ronan Anderson is like "Ace Agent", is it appropriate for Emperor Entertainment to invest so many resources?

If "The Grim Reaper" does not do well at the box office in the first week after its release, it is necessary to quickly reduce its screening space.

"Ace Agent" grossed $4.1 million in the first week, and it didn't even squeeze into the top five of the North American box office list that week.

"I said he wouldn't have good luck without us. ”

In an office at DreamWorks headquarters, Daniel Millik put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Adjado Sanziz, who was revising the script: "The cost of "Ace Agent" is $25 million, even if Ronan Anderson shamelessly overreports, it will cost $20 million, right?

Although Adjado Sanziz is the number two director of "Blair the Witch", he doesn't know much about Hollywood, and asks: "Will the box office skyrocket later?"

Daniel Malik looks like a film market expert: "No! Absolutely not! A commercial film like this kind of large-scale opening will only go all the way down at the box office!"

He picked up the newspaper and pointed, "Did you see it?" Cinema Score predicts that the North American box office of this film will be about $10 million!"

"This should be a lot of money at the box office, right?" asked Adjado Sanziz.

Daniel McLey plays with what he has just learned: "The box office failure in North America will be even worse overseas, and it is estimated that Ronan Anderson can recoup $10 million in this film." ”

Adjado Sanziz couldn't help but laugh: "Kill him!"

Daniel McLick also laughed happily: "This movie lost more than $10 million, and two weeks later, Ronan Anderson will have a "Death Comes", and that film will lose more than $10 million, and Ronan Anderson is not far from bankruptcy!"

Adjado Sanziz nodded repeatedly: "Will that bastard Ronan Anderson cry?"

Daniel Mailik is in a great mood: "I really want to see what he looks like now!"

At the same moment, in the reception room of Embassy Pictures, Ronan met Paul Greengrass and his agent, Dean.
