On the way back to Jessica Felton, Ronan said, "Twentieth Century Fox must have made a mistake. He glanced at Jessica Felton, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "What was the biggest mistake they made?"

Instead of answering, Jessica Filton asked, "What do you think?"

Ronan smiled, "Jesse, I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

Jessica Felton is a smart woman and knows very well that Ronan must have a purpose in inviting her to watch such a movie, but it is definitely not the purpose of the kind of romance between men and women.

"I personally think that Twentieth Century Fox's biggest mistake was not the rumored re-editing of Ridley Scott's director's cut. Jessica Filton said very seriously: "It's not about letting the producer lead another team to do the editing." ”

Ronan nodded slowly, which was also his opinion.

Jessica Filton continued: "The person who knows the project best is definitely director Ridley Scott. Twentieth Century Fox was not wrong to shorten the length of "Kingdom of Heaven" for commercial and audience viewing reasons. But they should have the person who knows the film best, the director Ridley Scott himself, do the secondary editing, so that the film may not be what it is now. ”

Ronan fully agreed: "If it were done by Ridley Scott, 'Kingdom of Heaven' would have been able to guarantee the most basic flow and plot logic." ”

Jessica Felton said casually: "It seems that we have a good understanding. ”

Ronan laughed, "Our philosophy at work is getting closer. ”

In fact, Relativity Entertainment has also encountered a similar situation, such as Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy", but Ronan is dissatisfied with the edited version submitted by the director, and will also call back, and the director will edit it again according to his request.

Producers are more in control of the overall situation, and the director is often the most aware of the film itself.

"Hellboy" has exceeded $80 million in North America and a whopping $200 million at the global box office, which also proves its viability.

The car stopped in front of Jessica Filton's single-family cottage, Jessica Filton pushed the car door and got out of the car, turned around and said, "It's not early, and the house is a little messy, so I won't invite you in to sit down." ”

Ronan thought of the super terrifying horror scene when he first saw Jessica Fieldon, and he didn't have any idea of going in, but just advised: "Find a few hours to clean up, women still have to live a little more delicate." ”

Jessica Felton waved her hand: "I see, I have a housekeeping company that specializes in working with. ”

"Good night. She said to Ronan again.

Ronan waved to Jessica Felton, "Good night." ”

It wasn't until Jessica Felton entered the villa that Ronan said to the driver, David, "Go back to the manor." ”

Back at home, because "Heavenly Dynasty" will form a direct competition with "Spy 3" this weekend, Ronan deliberately took a look at the word-of-mouth situation related to "Heavenly Dynasty".

The response to the public version was very bad, and many people commented that the plot was very abrupt, and they always felt that the plot was very jumpy, and they didn't understand what was said after watching it for more than an hour.

This is clearly a consequence of the editing.

In addition to the plot, there is also Orlando Bloom who has received countless bad reviews.

"The elven prince's acting skills are really miserable. ”

Not to mention anything else, in terms of audience word-of-mouth alone, the gap between "Heavenly Dynasty" and "Spy Shadow 3" is too big, and it is not a high-grade movie at all.

The most intuitive reflection of the market response is undoubtedly the on-site scoring of cinema audiences by Cinema Score, with an average score of A+ for "Spy 3", while "Heavenly Dynasty" only has C.

This difference is directly reflected in the box office.

"Heavenly Dynasty" only received $17.95 million in the three days of the North American opening weekend, which is undoubtedly a squib compared to the investment and release scale of the film.

However, the summer season has just begun, and there are not many films that are really super competitive in the market, and "Heavenly Dynasty" is also easily sitting in the second place in the North American box office list.

This week's North American box office champion was successfully defended by Spy 3.

With the blessing of good word-of-mouth, this spy action movie has been very stable, and in the second weekend of its release in North America, it won another $42.77 million and continued to top the box office list.

Combined with the box office revenue of the previous four working days, "Spy 3" has accumulated $151.28 million at the box office after ten days of release in North America.

As the film appeared in more overseas markets, the global box office has successfully exceeded the $300 million mark.

As the final work of the trilogy, the sensational effect and market repercussions caused by "Spy 3" obviously exceeded the previous two.

In contrast, "Heavenly Dynasty" became the first box office tragedy in the summer of 2005.

The first box office tragedy has appeared, will the second be far away?

DreamWorks and Spielberg have sent invitations to the premiere of "Escape from Clone Island" to Relativity Entertainment.

In any case, Relativity Entertainment is currently on a united front with DreamWorks, and Ronan is also eyeing Michael Bay, who has been waiting for the release of "Escape from Clone Island", so he did not hesitate to agree to Spielberg's premiere invitation.

The market response to "Spy 3" became more and more enthusiastic, and Netflix's CEO Mark Randolph made a special call to Ronan to ask if there was any possibility of making the "Spy Movie" series a series and broadcast it exclusively on Netflix's streaming platform.

This is indeed a way to continue to develop the "Spy" series, and Ronan did not refuse, but also made it clear that it was not suitable in the short term.

After all, the movie trilogy has just ended, and it takes time for related reactions to ferment, and emotional effects also need time to brew.

"Spy 3" created a near-perfect ending to the series, which is not suitable for further development for the time being.

The media almost overwhelmingly praised "Spy 3".

"As the final chapter of the classic series, it still successfully continues the excellent style of the series. Polished dialogue, solid performances, gorgeous editing, and soundtrack. Whether it's the process or the end, it's always gripping. ”

Jason Bourne has retired, but he is still alive, living at the end of the movie, and in the hearts of fans, as long as the timing is right, he can make a comeback again.

Hollywood doesn't have a movie series that ends forever, only a movie series that can't be profitable.

With the huge success of the "Spy" series, director Paul Greengrass was able to find a producer for his new project, Bloody Sunday, as quickly as possible.

Red Bus Films, a film company from the United Kingdom, took advantage of the huge popularity caused by "Spy 3" and jointly convened a press conference with Paul Greengrass in London, announcing that the two sides would cooperate in the filming of "Bloody Sunday".

The "Spy" series has brought Paul Greengrass plenty of capital, and Paul Greengrass is no longer a young director who was unpopular before, and even if Ronan has no interest in "Bloody Sunday", it is not difficult to find a partner for this project.

Rookie directors and established directors have never been a kind of director.

Changing to a new director, it is too difficult to find investment for this project.

Matt Damon's cooperation with Relativity Entertainment has also come to an end temporarily, from the beginning of "Mindcatcher", to the entry of "Saving Private Ryan" into a commercial production, and then to the peak of the "Spy" series, Matt Damon has finally become cute.

This is an actor who looks very simple, but is actually very smart, and is very good at dealing with human relationships.

At least Ronan has a very good impression of him, and he also highly recognizes his market appeal and commercial value, and if there is a chance in the future, Relativity Entertainment will definitely continue to cooperate with Matt Damon.

Ronan prefers Matt Damon to the bullish Ben Affleck.

Of course, "Spy 3" is not to everyone's liking, in fact, there are a large number of people who are criticizing the camera used by the crew for Parkinson's disease.

At the start of the new week, Ronan needs to stay in North America for the premiere of DreamWorks for "Get Out of Clone" and has no time to travel to Europe to watch the second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

Two semi-finals, one in Eindhoven and one in London.

The first to reach the final spot at the Olympic Stadium in Istanbul was the first to be held by AC Milan.

Despite a 3-1 home win over AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven were knocked out of the tournament with fewer away goals.

The second leg of the second semi-final was then played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium.

After a period of adjustment, Mourinho showed his magic, and the Chelsea team, which was originally in turmoil, was once again kneaded into a whole by him, not only winning consecutive games in the recent Premier League, only five points behind Manchester United, but also showing strong fighting power in this game.

Less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored and netted the second just before half-time.

A 2-0 lead at home levelled 4-2 on aggregate and gave Chelsea hope of a comeback.

But Chelsea are up against Manchester United!

It's not Manchester United, which has become second-rate in the Premier League more than ten years later, but Ferguson's Manchester United!

It will be very difficult to defeat Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

At half-time, the Ferguson hair dryer was turned up to its maximum power, and in the second half United were back to normal, and the real Manchester United team was back.

After all, this is a Manchester United team with a number of attacking players such as Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Marcos Alonso, Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo and Didier Drogba.

In the second half, Manchester United dominated the game, completely suppressing Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, and quickly brought a goal back to Ronaldo.

Chelsea were cornered and Jose Mourinho went on a frantic frenzy, even with John Terry, who played as a central striker, and at one point Chelsea had five strikers on the pitch.

But the result of the fight was that Robben sneaked up on Manchester United's counterattack!

In the end, the two sides drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United successfully enter Istanbul!
