Chapter 745: Layman
The 77th Academy Awards came to an end, and Relativity Entertainment became one of the biggest winners of all film companies, winning Best Actor and Best Picture among the four most important awards.
However, the two statuettes could not be retained by Relativity Entertainment, the former was owned by Will Smith personally, and the latter was awarded to the production company.
Even if Embassy Pictures buys out the rights to "Crash", it is no exception.
However, the economic benefits brought by the Oscar effect no longer have anything to do with the producers.
The other two statuettes will also not be kept by Relativity Entertainment, and the best documentary statuettes are also owned by the producers.
The Best Original Screenplay Golden Man, of course, is the property of Paul Haggis.
Embassy Pictures, as the distributor of the film, will get the corresponding replica of the Golden Man.
At present, the Relativity Entertainment Building is also building a renovation memorial, whose main role is to record the films that have left a significant historical mark.
The Oscars are only one aspect, and more films such as "Spy", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Human Eradication Project" have made significant economic contributions to the establishment and development of Relativity Entertainment.
Relativity Entertainment is a commercial company, not an art institution.
After the awards ceremony, Ronan is temporarily alone, ready to withdraw from the Kodak Theater and head to the "Oscar Night" party.
Scarlett Johansson came over.
"It's okay, you didn't leave for the time being. Scarlett Johansson grabbed Ronan's arm: "There are too many people, and it's inconvenient to come from backstage." ”
Scarlett Johansson, who is only in her early twenties, looks bright and moving, young and rich, and well-dressed, compared to the peak of her appearance in "Iron Man 2".
Ronan took her and walked out, "You can wait for me near the door." ”
Scarlett Johansson grabbed his arm tightly: "Wait? Maybe you'll run away with someone halfway through." ”
Coming to the less crowded passage, Ronan looked at Scarlett Johansson carefully: "You are so beautiful tonight." ”
Scarlett Johansson leaned over and whispered, "I just got a new tattoo, do you want to see it?"
Ronan didn't feel anything about tattoos, but he didn't interfere with others, smiled, and said, "Okay." ”
"It's not convenient here. Scarlett Johansson's words are full of different meanings: "I'll show you back when I go back." ”
Ronan became interested and asked, "Oh, can you tell me where it is?"
Scarlett Johansson rolled her eyes: "It's not what you think. Her voice changed suddenly: "Actually, I thought about tattooing your name on me." ”
Ronan coughed under his breath, "That's an honor." ”
When women tattoo their names on their bodies, they often want to express only one meaning.
"If you're my boyfriend. Scarlett Johansson was a little expectant: "Ronan, I'm willing to tattoo your name anywhere on my body." ”
Ronan said, "The tattoo hurts, doesn't it? I can't bear to let you hurt." ”
This is a good thing to say, but when it falls into the ears of the person concerned, it is somewhat unpleasant.
"Mr. Anderson?"
As soon as the two of them left the side door of the Kodak Theater, someone suddenly stopped in front of Ronan and Scarlett Johansson: "You are Mr. Ronan Anderson?
Ronan looked at the reporter, with black hair and black eyes, obviously from the East.
"Are you?" Ronan waved his hand to disperse the bodyguards who had gathered around.
The middle-aged reporter hurriedly asked the photographer to lean over, and replied at the same time: "I am a reporter from the "World Film Weekly" of Oriental Television, can I ask you a few questions?"
Scarlett Johansson was a little impatient: "Let's go to the party, shall we? I want to take the elevator......"
"Wait a minute. Ronan calmed Scarlett Johansson a little and said to the middle-aged reporter: "Two minutes, you ask." ”
In any case, there is always a special affection for people from the East.
Some things are not easy to forget.
The middle-aged reporter hurriedly asked, and when he asked the question, he also changed to Chinese: "Mr. Anderson, according to my understanding, you can speak Chinese very fluently and have a considerable understanding of oriental culture." ”
Ronan also changed to Chinese: "I don't understand, it's true that I am very interested." ”
The middle-aged reporter smiled and said: "At this Oscar ceremony, "Ten Faces of Haze" won two nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography, but it missed out, your company has successfully operated "Hero" in the North American market, can you talk about Oriental films and Oscars?"
This is a very broad question and not very easy to answer.
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "This is not a bad thing, your movie doesn't need to be obsessed with the Oscars." ”
The middle-aged reporter was quite surprised by this, and looked at Ronan in confusion.
Thinking of the wonderful films that many directors have made in order to win the Olympics, Ronan said appropriately: "The Oscars have strong regional and cultural characteristics, just like other film festivals, which country is held, has distinct national cultural characteristics. It's a good thing for your film to take the international route and enter the Oscars, and get a nomination, but the Oscar is hard to come by for a film outside of North America, and everyone is happy if it gets it, and you don't have to be upset if you don't get it. ”
Middle-aged reporters are experienced people who are thoughtful.
In the face of reporters from other countries, including North America, Ronan would not say so much at all, prompted by his feelings, he further said: "You and the Oscars belong to a completely different cultural circle, there is no need to cater to the Oscars in making movies, the most suitable films for your culture and market are good movies, you don't need to take the Oscars too seriously." ”
He didn't speak very quickly, and what he said was a bit out of line with the mainstream for Oriental filmmakers in this era: "The Oscars are Hollywood festivals after all, very localized and very Hollywood, so the Oscars only set up an award for foreign language films." The Oscars are a big show for Hollywood movies to show the world, and it turns out that this show is also quite successful, because it is Hollywood movies that really attract the attention of the whole world on this show, so Hollywood movies are being shown all over the world. ”
The middle-aged reporter did not dare to say anything affirmative, but one thing was very clear: if a movie was labeled as a "little golden man", the box office would definitely be greatly bullish.
The middle-aged reporter couldn't help but ask: "What do you think oriental movies should do?"
Ronan shrugged his shoulders slightly: "I don't know much about this, I'm a layman in the Oriental film industry, in your words, what you say should be called standing and talking without back pain, right?"
The middle-aged reporter couldn't help laughing, this person really understands oriental culture, and quickly said: "Mr. Anderson, you can talk about it from a layman's point of view." ”
"I'm doing commercial films, so let's talk about that aspect. Ronan also hopes that his peers on the other side can take fewer detours: "For you, first of all, you must win the love of oriental audiences, and effectively develop the film market, and the development space of your market is even more than that of North America." Do your own film market, don't have too many distractions, and work hard to make movies, and Hollywood may need to find you when the time comes. ”
The previous opinions, the middle-aged reporter felt that they were very pertinent, and in the last words, he didn't believe it, but just treated it as polite.
Ronan said that this interview may not be broadcast, and no one may listen to it, and these are not within his control.
With a wave of his hand, the black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over, and the bodyguard stopped the reporter who still wanted to continue the nomination.
Ronan and Scarlett Johansson got in the car and rushed to the "Oscar Night" party.
"It's rare to see you say so much to a journalist. "Scarlett Johansson was very curious.
Ronan smiled and casually explained a reason: "Because the film market in the East has broad prospects, they have a population of more than one billion, and once the film market develops, it will inevitably become the second largest single film market in the world after North America in the future." ”
Scarlett Johansson subconsciously asked, "Are they possible?"
Ronan said kindly: "Handle the relationship with that side, even if you are not popular in North America, you will still be able to sit firmly on the front line of Hollywood with the support of a huge overseas film market in the future." ”
The former Fan bald head can be said to be typical in this regard.
Scarlett Johansson is very shrewd in dealing with the world and is ignorant of this kind of thing, but the concept formed in the past few years, subconsciously thinks that what Ronan said must be not wrong, and unconsciously remembers it in his heart.
Coming to the Oscar night party, Ronan went to say hello to Tina Brown and let Scarlett Johansson move freely, originally wanting to talk to a few people.
But there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, from actors to directors to producers.
There are even people who take the opportunity to pitch their own projects.
After all, the news of the success of the project at the Oscar night party last year has long since spread in Hollywood.
But Ronan clearly didn't have the luck of last year, and he didn't come across a project like "Cerbellino" at all.
Several directors and producers talked about film projects, and he didn't remember the relevant names.
Just let them send the script directly to Shahai Entertainment.
Finally getting rid of these entanglements, Ronan first found a quiet place, took a breath, and waited until the people on the crew of "The Aviator" gradually dispersed, and then walked over, planning to talk to Martin Scorsese.
If it were someone else, Ronan would definitely not appear in person, but when the director reaches the level of Martin Scorsese, his status and price are basically very solid, unless he suffers two or three major failures in a row.
"The Aviator" is not a success, which can limit Martin Scorsese's price to continue to rise.
