Chapter 1086: S.H.I.E.L.D.'S COFFEE

On the first weekend of April, the third day of Jessica Felton's return to Los Angeles from Boston, she accompanied Ronan to a celebratory reception hosted by Will Smith.

"Congratulations, Will. Congratulations, Jada. ”

In the crowded banquet hall, Jessica Felton congratulated the couple after Ronan, and at the same time handed the gift in her hand to Jaden Smith: "Congratulations, future big star. ”

Will Smith smiled and said, "Jesse, you're so polite. ”

Jaden Smith appeared polite: "Thank you. ”

Ronan looked at Will Smith and said, "The movie is so successful, Jaden has performed well, you as a father, your hard work has not been in vain." ”

Will Smith looked at Jaden Smith with pride in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I finally made some achievements." ”

Jessica Felton took Ronan's arm and sighed in her heart, there are really no parents in this world who don't love their children.

Also, the project "Kung Fu Dream", Ronan can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, not only taking care of his long-time friendship with Will Smith, but also getting actual commercial benefits for Relativity Entertainment.

"Anyway, Ronan, I still have to thank you. Will Smith asked the waiter to bring a few glasses of champagne and raised a glass with Ronan and Jessica Felton and said, "The success of this film would not have been possible without your strong support." ”

Ronan also didn't say anything polite to Will Smith: "You're going to invite me another day." ”

Will Smith laughed and said, "No problem. Jaden Smith and Jada Smith went somewhere else at this time, and he asked, "Is there any hope for a sequel to Kung Fu Dreams?"

Speaking of movies and work, Ronan put away his smile and said solemnly: "It's not something that relativistic entertainment can decide. Will, the authorization of "Dragon Boy" was negotiated by you from Sony Columbia Pictures, although Sony Columbia Pictures gave the full version of the license, but only one license, if you want to shoot a sequel, you need to get a new license from Sony Columbia Pictures. ”

Sony Columbia Pictures is not stupid either, and only sold the rights to the remake to Will Smith and Relativity Entertainment, but not to shoot a sequel.

Ronan continued: "In the case of Kung Fu Dreams, it is impossible for Sony Columbia Pictures to license Relativity Entertainment anymore. ”

Will Smith only thought about it for a moment to know that Ronan was telling the truth, sighed, and said, "The sequel is troublesome. ”

Ronan suggested, "You can continue to work with Sony Columbia Pictures. ”

"This ...... Not really, right?" Will Smith said: "Kung Fu Dream couldn't have been successful without relativity entertainment. ”

Ronan said honestly: "If it were someone else, I would definitely not say that." But Will, with our friendship, it's nothing, and Jaden's future matters. ”

To be honest, he doesn't want to see Will Smith become a Hollywood god hate because of his unlimited drag on his son, if Jaden Smith can rely on "Kung Fu Dream" and its sequel to stabilize the popularity situation, Will Smith doesn't have to fight hard.

Jessica Felton glanced at her boyfriend and could more or less guess Ronan's thoughts, as far as friends were concerned, Ronan was really impeccable.

It is undeniable that Ronan has an extremely utilitarian, dark-hearted, and sinister and despicable side, but he can always leave people speechless when dealing with friends and people around him.

Perhaps, this is also a big reason why she was able to let go of the past and fall in love with Ronan in the face of Ronan's pursuit.

Jessica Felton knows very well that Ronan is facing a lot more temptations than in the past, but she firmly guards the bottom line and breaks with the past.

Ronan chatted with Will Smith for a few more words, then took Jessica Filton elsewhere and quickly found Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz.

"Hey, Jesse. Penelope Cruz warmly hugged Jessica Felton and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I have something I want to ask you about, let's go somewhere else?"

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "Okay. She said to Ronan, "Penny and I went to talk about women's conversations. ”

Ronan glanced at the two women who were leaving, and asked Tom Cruise, "Is this a formal relationship with Penny?"

"Sort of. Tom Cruise has a feeling that he is trapped in stock trading: "At least it can reduce a lot of unnecessary harassment, especially from that side." ”

Ronan understood what he meant: "Penny is a smart person. ”

Tom Cruise didn't have to hide it in front of Ronan, and said, "There are some things that Penny has to deal with, it's better than my headache." ”

Ronan immediately changed the subject and asked, "How's the progress of "Mission Impossible 4"?"

"The preparations are almost complete. Tom Cruise said simply: "It is estimated that filming will start around May, and strive to be released in the summer of 09." ”

He asked with concern: "What about "Inception"? Can it be released on time?"

Compared with the same period in the past, Tom Cruise's situation is much better, because of Ronan's relationship with Relativity Entertainment, not only did he not experience Pat Kingsley's persistent smear incident, but also won the Best Actor for "The Departed", and played the leading actor in "Inception".

Ronan said: "Don't worry, it will definitely be released on time, this is the key project of Relativity Entertainment this year." ”

Tom Cruise sighed and said, "There are too many key items for Relativity Entertainment. ”

He has seen the distribution list of Embassy Pictures, and Relativity Entertainment has launched several major productions with an investment of hundreds of millions this year, "Iron Man 2", "Avatar", "Alice in Wonderland", "Fast and Furious 4", "Inception", "Captain America" ......

Ronan said bluntly: "The relativity theory entertainment layout has been in place for many years, and it is time to harvest." ”

Tom Cruise lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that Shahai Entertainment has established a number of 3D film projects, are you very optimistic about the future of 3D?"

"At least for a short time, 3D will be popular," Ronan said. Moreover, the number of audiences in North American theaters has not only not increased in the past two years, but is still slowly decreasing. ”

Tom Cruise nodded slowly: "The ticket price of a 3D movie is one-third higher than the normal one. ”

Ronan said directly: "In many places overseas, the ticket price of 3D movies will double, or even higher. ”

In the short term, 3D is undoubtedly a good way to increase movie revenue, but over time, the shortcomings of 3D will also be exposed.

Ronan knew why Tom Cruise was asking this, and suggested: "It's better not to use 3D format for "Mission Impossible 4", fast-paced action movies are shown in 3D, which is terrible and makes people dizzy. ”

"I see. Tom Cruise takes Ronan's words quite seriously when it comes to films: "I'll talk to Paramount Pictures." ”

The copyright of the "Mission Impossible" series has always been a troublesome matter, and it is also the source of all kinds of conflicts between Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures, and the two sides have been at odds many times in terms of investment and income, and it is not easy to reach a balance.

Ronan then meets Samuel L. Jackson, an old black man with a beret and a very stylish look.

"Look, who this is. Ronan shook hands with Samuel L. Jackson and joked, "Isn't this my Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Samuel L. Jackson followed Ronan's joke and said, "Mr. Anderson, you can't talk about my identity in public, or I'll have to invite you back to S.H.I.E.L.D. for coffee." ”

Ronan replied solemnly, "I heard that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s coffee is not very tasty. ”

Samuel L. Jackson said, "My fate in the future is tied to S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Ronan said solemnly: "Samuel, if you look back after ten years, you will definitely think that this is a very wise decision. ”

Compared with others, Samuel L. Jackson is more involved in the Marvel Avengers series, not to say how important the boiled eggs are, but in addition to the movie, Samuel L. Jackson also authorized Marvel, all the boiled eggs in Marvel comics and peripheral toys can be created using his image.

Of course, the premise is that the boiled egg must be a positive character.

This king of agents is not a simple character in movies and comics, his face is black, and his heart is blacker than his face.

If this were not the case, how could he be the director of the Snake Shield Bureau? He would have been killed by Hydra a long time ago.

"Iron Man 2", which will be released in May this year, will officially enter the movie, and there will be several rivalry scenes with Tony Stark.

Then there is the holiday "Captain America", the official title of this film is very clear - "Captain America: The Avengers"!

Then there is "The Avengers", which will be released in May next year.

Iron Man and Captain America will be the two core characters of Marvel's Avengers program from Phase 1 to Phase 3, with Tony Stark at the heart of the scene and team, and Steve Rogers as the commander and spiritual leader.

Maybe Captain America is a little outdated, but the principles he adheres to are still recognized by mainstream American society.

Of course, no one is flawless, and Captain America is no exception, and Steve Rodgers will always make mistakes whenever the Winter Soldier is on the pitch.

Nor does the movie portray Captain America as a morally perfect man.

The failure of the "Superman" movie has fully proved that superheroes who are too tall are not very popular in this era.

Even Warner Bros. and DC Comics are now thinking hard about how to find as many flaws as possible for Superman within a reasonable range.

This will be directly related to the success or failure of the new Superman movie.

Warner Bros. also has two superhero movies released this year, "Watchmen" and "Green Lantern."

The latter, as the opening work of the entire Justice League cinematic universe, will have to wait until the summer file.

The former once caused a strong response in North America in comics, and was once hailed as the best superhero comics.

Ronan also received premiere invitations from Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder.
