The party was huge, and Dior clearly attached great importance to the new e-fragrance, with a long red carpet in front of the Four Seasons Hotel and a host of celebrities from Los Angeles, including Hollywood stars and bigwigs behind the scenes.

Walking through the long red carpet and not stopping in front of the hotel where the media reporters gathered, Ronan went straight into the banquet hall.

Then again, few reporters recognized who he was.

However, there were also acquaintances in the banquet hall, and Ronan met Chris from Lionsgate Navas and Sony Entertainment.

Of course, there are many people he can name, such as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Cindy Crawford, Julia Roberts, and many more.

It's a pity that Ronan knows them, they don't know him.

Ronan didn't get up to find himself bored, Hollywood stars with normal heads, when facing ordinary fans, it is called cordial and peaceful, but when it is time to be proud, these guys are like peacocks.

I got together with a few people I knew and talked about movies.

Navas looked at Ronan with a little admiration and jealousy, and said: "I heard Paul Enrique talk about this year's St. Denis Film Festival, when he also saw "Blair the Witch", but he didn't have the slightest idea of buying the rights. Ronan, your vision is so good!"

Sony Entertainment's Chris said: "Two small productions in a row have won high box office. He deliberately lowered his voice: "Ronan, can you reveal some thoughts?"

What can Ronan say? said modestly: "It's really a little luckier, nothing else." ”

"Several, what are you talking about?" a hearty voice sounded from one side, and then a man with a small head, with a woman who was obviously taller than him, walked over, and looked at Ronan suspiciously: "You are ......"

Ronan greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Cruise." Then he introduced himself: "I'm Ronan Anderson of Relativity Entertainment. ”

Tom Cruise shook hands with him, without the unassuming and arrogant, and said politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Ronan shook hands with Tom Cruise and then Nicole Kidman: "Hello, Miss Kidman. ”

Nicole Kidman reached out and shook him gently, with a polite smile on her face: "Hello." ”

In the previous life, the couple was entangled in grievances, and the stories between each other were enough to shoot a trilogy, and Ronan was also the first time to see a real person, Tom Cruise looked more handsome than in the movie, and he had a sunny temperament all over his body, and the only drawback was probably that he was a little shorter.

Nicole Kidman's temperament is the opposite of Tom Cruise, maybe she has been in a bad mood recently, or maybe she looks unusually cold in the face of a little person like Ronan.

Then there is the fact that her skin is very white, and she seems to be able to glow when she stands under the chandelier.

Chris took the initiative to introduce Tom Cruise: ""Blair the Witch, which exceeded $150 million at the North American box office two days ago, is Ronan's handiwork. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally cold Nicole Kidman couldn't help but be a little moved, this person looks like he is in his early twenties, and he has already run such a successful film?

Tom Cruise is in a good state of mind, and said with a smile: "This is a publicity and marketing plan that can be included in textbooks as a classic case." His speaking temperament is like a spring breeze: "Very remarkable." ”

Tom Cruise is now at the peak of his life, and he is not as emotionally volatile as he was after his second divorce.

Others praised themselves, and Ronan also praised them back: "Mr. Cruise is really amazing, I grew up watching "Top Gun". ”

As he spoke, he deliberately made Tom's signature move.

Several people laughed, and Tom Cruise had a good impression of Ronan and thought he was very good at being a person.

Tom Cruise was very talkative and chatted in the little circle for a while before pulling Nicole Kidman away.

Ronan looked at the intimate demeanor of the two people, and he didn't know whether the media hype was true or not.

Since before the release of "Eyes Wide Opening", many newspapers have been hyping the news that the two are separating or even preparing for divorce.

I remember that it would be more than a year before the two divorced.

Ronan suddenly thought of one thing, in the first half of this year, Nicole Kidman once said in an interview that she now believes in Catholicism!

Probably this angered the forces behind Tom Cruise, from the point of view of the previous life, it was a real cult, and it didn't matter if it was forcibly breaking up a marriage or something.

Ronan glanced at the center of the ballroom again, where Carmen Cays's side was full of people, busy socializing in the company of agents and Dior executives.

For Ronan, it's a networking party, but for Carmen Keys, it's part of working for Dior.

Ronan didn't bother Carmen Kayth for the time being, and continued to chat with the men.

Both Navas and Chris are senior practitioners in the industry, and they are also engaged in the selection and distribution of films that Ronan is currently lacking.

After chatting for a while, the conversation returned to "Blair the Witch".

"Your distribution company hasn't established an overseas distribution channel yet, right?"

Lionsgate also doesn't have the ability to distribute overseas, so Sony Entertainment's Chris has no scruples: "Sony has distributed 'Human Eradication', and we have a basis for cooperation. ”

He looked at Ronan: "How about handing over the overseas distribution of "Blair the Witch" to Sony?"

Ronan said with a smile: "I also want to cooperate with Sony Entertainment, but I am not responsible for this matter. He wants to choose the best, and he can only shirk it for the time being: "Chris, you better go to Embassy Pictures and talk to Garcia Rodriguez." ”

Chris didn't take Ronan's words, but said: "The overseas box office of "Blair the Witch" is only $30 million, and Sony Entertainment doesn't make any money. Ronan, you have to give us some compensation, right?"

The other party opened his eyes and said nonsense, and Ronan was not polite: "The overseas box office is 30 million US dollars, what about the income from other aspects? As far as I know, Sony Entertainment's profit on this project is close to 10 million US dollars." The overseas copyright of the film in the next few years is in your hands, and the profits will only get higher and higher. ”

It's all a group of foxes, and no one wants to suffer, and this kind of thing can't be talked about for a while.

Let's put it this way, as long as Sony Entertainment throws out $100 million to buy out the overseas rights of "Blair the Witch", Ronan will be able to sign with them immediately.

Chris soon went somewhere else.

Navas didn't leave, and asked Ronan in a low voice, "I heard that you are going to sell the rights to shoot the sequel to "Blair the Witch"?"

Ronan was surprised: "How do you know?"

"There are no secrets in Hollywood. Navas responded: "The news is spreading all over the circle. ”

Ronan had a very helpless expression: "Before I made up my mind, the news leaked out first." ”

Navas became interested: "You really want to sell?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "There is this idea." ”

"Why?" Navas didn't understand.

Ronan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have several film projects behind me that need to raise funds. The company was also expanding, and the original office was not crowded, and I was going to solve it all at once and buy a small low-rise office building in Burbank. I still owe a large amount of bank loans to repay, and it is difficult to borrow for the time being, so I can only find a way to raise funds. ”

Navas knows that many small companies are facing a lack of funding, and even Lionsgate is sometimes constrained by financial problems.

Ronan's words weren't surprised.

Ronan added: "On the other hand, I had a falling out with Daniel Mail, the director of 'Blair the Witch'. ”

"I've heard that. Navas is naturally on the side of the studio: "He's too greedy, a little too much. ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Ronan spread his hands: "The film "Blair the Witch", from the idea to the shooting to the initial promotional inspiration, all came from Daniel Molik, and even the film website of Embassy Pictures as the source of the 'viral marketing' was also established by Daniel Molik, and most of the witch's information was also collected by him. So, he thinks he can get out of the contract. ”

Navas understands that this Daniel Mailik is a key character in "Blair the Witch", and without him, Ronan has little confidence.

Ronan also said this: "Without Daniel Malik, it would be too risky for this project to continue." He appears to be particularly honest: "Instead of investing and taking huge risks, it is better to sell the rights to the sequel, which can not only have a stable income, but also pass on the risk." ”

Hearing this, Navas suddenly said, "Why don't you transfer the risk to Lionsgate?"

Ronan's preferred target is not Lionsgate, and if the first target is not hooked, of course he can sell it to Lionsgate, thought about it, and said: "Several film companies have proposed to me the intention of buying the sequel shooting rights, shall we talk about it at another time?"

Navas also knew that this was not a good place to talk about business, and said, "Yes. Let’s touch base. ”

Sending Navas away, Ronan looked at the center of the banquet hall again, probably after a round of socializing, Carmen Kaitz was noticeably less crowded, talking to another tall woman.

Ronan walked over and met Tom Cruise halfway through, and the two nodded in acknowledgment.

"Good evening, Carmen. Ronan went to Carmen Keys.

Carmen Kath was visibly happy to see him, and said, "I haven't seen you yet, I thought you weren't coming." ”

Ronan said with a smile, "I met a few friends and chatted with them for a while. He looked at Carmen Kath and said, "You're so beautiful tonight." ”

Carmen Cays, with long hair and a shawl, wore a pale blonde backless evening gown with a skirt with high slits to reveal her long, slender and straight legs.

The woman who had been chatting with Carmen Kath suddenly interjected: "Carmen, this is ......"

"Look, I forgot to introduce you. Carmen Kath introduced: "Ronan, this is Giselle, Giselle Bonchen. ”
