Returning to Los Angeles from New York, Ronan accepted Harvey Weinstein's invitation to attend the premiere of Sin City, filmed and produced by Dymen Pictures.

This film, which has a very special style, once left a deep impression on Ronan.

Especially the female characters.

Like Jessica Alba and Eva Green.

The former's hip-flapping made her famous, and the latter's barely clothed image was a model of a femme fatale.

However, once Eva Green was a character who only appeared in the sequel.

The most watched actress at the premiere was Jessica Alba.

As for the heart of Lafayette in the fashion circle, Davin Aoki, he was directly ignored by Ronan.

"This can only say that my aesthetic is very normal. ”

In the VIP room of the theater, Ronan said to Connie, who was following him, "There is no distortion. ”

After being by Ronan's side for so many years, Connie understands the boss's personality, and occasionally makes a few innocuous jokes: "Devin Aoki is a popular super model in the fashion industry, and Karl Lagerfeld thinks she has a high-end beauty that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve." ”

Ronan asked, "I'd better keep the aesthetic at the low end." ”

Connie couldn't help but laugh.

Ronan saw Jessica Alba walking towards him in full costume and said, "You see, this is the beauty that the public recognizes." ”

Jessica Alba came to Ronan with a smile and took the initiative to say hello: "Good evening, Ronan." ”

Ronan shook her hand gently, "Hello, Jesse, you're so beautiful tonight." ”

"Thank you. Jessica Alba smiled widening brighter.

She didn't care about the stares around her, and spoke enthusiastically to Ronan.

Now no one in the circle knows that she is working with Ronan to star in James Cameron's big project.

"The modeling of the heroine is almost complete. Jessica Alba simply said about the situation on the Wellington crew: "But as for filming, I don't know when it will start, and it is estimated that it will be mid-next year at the earliest." ”

Ronan said: "God forbids that we can start filming in the middle of next year. ”

There is so much preparation for this film, and James Cameron is a man of excellence, and if he is not fully prepared, he will definitely not officially start shooting.

It is said that during the filming of "Titanic", because the tableware prepared by the crew was not engraved with the words "Titanic", which is inconspicuous in the footage, James Cameron interrupted filming and asked the crew to go to the porcelain factory again to order new tableware, resulting in the crew spending hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

The head of the Twentieth Century Fox crew angrily quarreled directly with James Cameron on the set.

James Cameron was able to ditch Twentieth Century Fox and instead collaborate with Ronan, and what Twentieth Century Fox did during the filming of "Titanic" played a key role.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Jessica Alba suddenly asked, "My brother's girlfriend is coming to my house as a guest, and I'm going to have a big party, can you come and come?"

If it was a few years ago, in the face of Jessica Alba's invitation, Ronan would definitely agree, but now he can only decline: "I'm sorry, I have a lot of things on my side, I'm afraid I don't have time." ”

Jessica Alba said: "It's okay. ”

She immediately said goodbye, and when she shook hands with Ronan, I don't know if it was unintentional, her little finger lightly swiped from Ronan's palm.

Ronan didn't seem to notice it, he was a decent man.

Having said that, there are some things that really can't be risked, and it's better to believe them than not to believe them.

Otherwise, if you get hit, you won't be able to cry.

Connie reminded, "Director Rodriguez is here. ”

Ronan also saw that "Sin City" director Robert Rodriguez was coming beyond him.

"Good evening, Ronan. Robert Rodriguez, as the director of the film, is as enthusiastic as the host: "It's an honor for you to be here for the premiere. ”

Ronan smiled and shook his hand: "Don't be so polite. I came here this time for the purpose of learning from it. ”

Robert Rodriguez was puzzled: "Where does this start?"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment has invested in the adaptation of Mr. Frank Miller's other work, The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, which is in the same vein as Sin City in terms of the style of the original book. ”

"yes, I remembered. Robert Rodriguez said with a smile: "Originally, I also played the idea of this work, but unfortunately let you start first." ”

Ronan took the opportunity to say: "It's okay, there is no "Three Hundred Spartans", we can also cooperate on other film projects." ”

Of course, Robert Rodriguez will not refuse, saying: "It may take a while before I can talk to Ronan about cooperation." He put it bluntly: "Quentin and I were preparing to make a mill movie. ”

The so-called "mill movie" refers to the fact that some movie theaters in the United States in the sixties and seventies of the last century had to show small-production B-grade movies with **** and gore as selling points due to disrepair, and this genre reached its peak in the early 80s.

Although this type of film is synonymous with shoddy production, it has a sizable audience in North America, especially in the offline rental market.

Ronan is no stranger to this, because before he took over, Shahai Entertainment was actually specialized in shooting mill movies that were distributed in the videotape market.

"The Mill Movie is a product of the last century. Ronan said to Robert Rodriguez, "But I think there's a lot to be done in the DVD market as well. Shahai Entertainment actually started by shooting mill movies, and we can find a basis for cooperation in this regard......"

It seems that after 2010, Robert Rodriguez teamed up with a very characteristic-looking actor in Hollywood to shoot the "Machete" trilogy.

Connie quietly reminded Ronan at this point.

Harvey Weinstein's voice came: "Ronan, how can you dig into the wall at the premiere of Evengate Pictures?"

Ronan replied, "I was talking to Robert about the Mill movie. ”

Harvey Weinstein smiled and shook Ronan's hand, in fact, he was far less important to Robert Rodriguez than Quentin Tarantino, and it was just a joke.

"You are welcome to the premiere. Harvey Weinstein looked particularly enthusiastic: "Thank you for your support. ”

Ronan said: "Harvey, we are old friends, you are welcome. ”

Robert Rodriguez saw that Harvey Weinstein had something to say to Ronan, and took his leave at the right time.

Ronan asked, "How's the new company going?"

"Registration has been completed. Harvey Weinstein said, "The deal we made gave me plenty of money, and while a lot of it still had to be financed, Bob and I were able to make sure we had enough shares to really take control of the new company." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Congratulations." ”

Harvey Weinstein smiled genuinely lightheartedly: "The darkest hour has finally passed, God...... lit up. ”

Ronan couldn't help but laugh: "The project of "Queen" has been negotiated?"

"It's settled. Harvey Weinstein said: "After you quit voluntarily, they had no better choice but to work with me. ”

He invited, "Ronan, are you really not going to take a stake in my new company?"

Rhona shook her head: "Forget it, Harvey, many of my habits will cause conflicts in the company's management." Besides, aren't we working together on distribution?"

With the deal between Relativity Entertainment and the Weinstein Brothers, the Weinstein Brothers' newly established Weinstein Pictures will be handed over to Embassy Pictures for a long time to come.

"I heard that you were around New York some time ago to lobby for Roy Disney?" Harvey Weinstein asked tentatively, "Are you planning to support Roy Disney?"

Ronan said very seriously: "Yes, Michael Eisner once embarrassed Relativity Entertainment on "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Roy Disney also promised that as long as Michael Eisner steps down, Disney will fully support Relativity Entertainment into the MPAA." ”

Harvey Weinstein said, "yes, nobody likes Michael Eisner's tyrant. ”

Ronan said with a smile: "Relativity Entertainment is also a small shareholder of Disney, and the stable development of Disney is in line with the interests of Relativity Entertainment." ”

Harvey Weinstein said: "I really want to see the look on Michael Eisner's face when he steps down. ”

Ronan laughed, "There will be a chance, Harvey, be patient, it's only a few months." ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded, Ronan was very clear, and Roy Disney should be able to rest assured.

Thinking about how to talk to Roy Disney on the phone after the premiere, Harvey Weinstein said to Ronan: "We may have a competition for the Oscars in the future." ”

"It's inevitable," Ronan said. ”

Harvey Weinstein knew that after leaving Disney, he couldn't afford to mess with Ronan even more, and said: "Ronan, I can guarantee that no matter how fierce the competition is, it will stay within the normal business scope." ”

He didn't want to break up his good relationship with Ronan because of some rumors.

Ronan said, "I can guarantee that. ”

Both laughed at the same time.

In the short term, Relativity Entertainment and Weinstein Pictures will be partners.

As for the longer term, business things will change with the market and time, and who can guarantee who will be an ally forever?

Harvey Weinstein looked at a place in the VIP room at this time and invited: "Ronan, introduce yourself to you, the investor of the new company, and the majority shareholder." ”

Ronan asked curiously, "Do I know each other?"

"I don't know. Harvey Weinstein walked him over there: "He's a newcomer to Hollywood. ”

Ronan thought it would be the beach boyfriend who used to be Miss Lizao, but after seeing someone, he was somewhat surprised.

The other party is very young, younger than his age.

Harvey Weinstein was the first to make an introduction: "Ronan, this is David Ellison. ”
