Chapter 933: Fighting the Sword and Going to the End of the World

The Cannes Film Festival quickly had the results of the awards, and a film "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", which Ronan had never heard of, won the Palme d'Or this year.

And at the insistence of the king of sunglasses, there was also a super spectacle at this Cannes Film Festival.

The results announced at the awards ceremony showed that there were a total of five actors and six actresses at this year's Cannes Film Festival!

Looking at A-level film festivals all over the world, this is a spectacle.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the style of the king of sunglasses, and the things he does are absolutely unexpected.

At the same time, this also greatly reduces the gold content of each actor and actress.

It is said that like Quentin Tarantino as the chairman of the jury, many judges quarreled fiercely with the king of sunglasses at the final selection meeting, but the award mechanism of the three major European film festivals determined that the chairman of the jury had huge power.

This led directly to a split in the jury, and when the closing ceremony and award ceremony took place, there was an eye-popping scene where the jury members, who were supposed to be the protagonists, were a full fifteen minutes late.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith naturally didn't win any acting awards.

However, the jury still gave Martin Scorsese a lot of face, and "The Departed" won the Jury Prize.

It's a veritable consolation prize, as there are also the Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize ahead.

The film festival came to a successful conclusion in a "win-win" situation, and the king of sunglasses built a "harmonious film festival" with an elegant and aesthetic way, gentle and light wrists, and a win-win strategy of award-winning works.

Perhaps, the 59th Cannes Film Festival itself is a realistic film directed by the king of sunglasses.

In Los Angeles, Robert Iger quickly assembled an expedition team to France to meet Carmen Keith, and then to Estonia for a related expedition.

As for Carmen Keys, Ronan certainly won't go back and can only be treated as an old friend who has the potential to work together.

What happened back then, since the choice was made, Ronan will not regret it.

It is estimated that many men have similar thoughts.

After 20 years of sharpening the sword, who doesn't want to walk the world with a sword, walk all over the mountains and plains, cross canyons and rivers, and taste the flowers in the world?

How many men are willing to walk out of the house excitedly, and fall down before they reach the entrance of the village? and then obediently go home, marry a wife and have children......

Mr. Jin on the other side of the Pacific Ocean also said: Man, you have to go to the end of the world with a sword!

Who doesn't know that the originator of Oriental Jack Su took seven wives?

Back in Los Angeles, Ronan took time out to visit the newly established Princess Animation Studio, which is still recruiting people from all over the world with Chris Barker's team at its core.

Ronan does not have high requirements for Princess Animation Studio in the short term, at least with the ability to produce two animated feature films at the same time.

It's not enough to rely on Chris Barker's team alone, but they're the cornerstone of Princess Animation Studios.

Ronan just looked at the progress of the work and didn't say much, and he won't arrange specific animated feature films for the time being.

In addition to staffing, Princess Animation Studios also had to coordinate the technology, Pixar Studios provided the best animation production equipment and software in the world today, and a technical team led by John Lasseter was responsible for the technical training of Princess Animation Studios.

According to Ronan's proposal, after the work is completed, the princess animation studio will use Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "Snow White" as a model to adapt an animated short film to practice.

This princess movie will definitely not be the old princess movie from Disney Animation Studios.

The details will have to wait for the princess animation studio to stabilize.

Ronan didn't spend much time at Princess Animation's studio, and after exchanging a few words with Chris Buck and John Lasseter, he went to the floor where the post-production studio was located.

Due to the aging of various equipment at Warner Studios, Christopher Nolan chose the Relativity Building to complete the post-production of The Dark Knight.

This is also generating revenue for Relativity Entertainment, and the "Dark Knight" crew rents a post-production room for a fee.

Ronan had just stepped out of the elevator hall and was greeted by Heath Ledger.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson. Heath Ledger took the initiative to say hello.

Ronan shook his hand and said, "Why do you have time to come over today?"

Heath Ledger said: "There are a couple of clips that need to be dubbed. ”

Ronan nodded slightly and complimented, "I watched some of the clips you filmed, they were excellent, and you contributed an outstanding performance." ”

Heath-Ledger smiled, "Thank you." ”

Ronan patted his arm lightly and said, "The Joker is just a fictional character, and his madness is due to the bonus of the protagonist's aura." ”

Heath Ledger thought that Ronan was going to preach like he was in the crew of "Brokeback Mountain", and immediately said: "Mr. Anderson, I won't take up your precious time, let's talk another day." ”

Ronan didn't say much, "Goodbye." ”

Connie, who followed Ronan, watched Heath Ledger leave, probably accustomed to thinking from Ronan's point of view, and felt that the young actor was very rude.

"What's wrong?" Ronan noticed that Connie was looking at Heath Ledger's back with strange eyes.

Connie said directly: "This man is a little proud. ”

Ronan disagreed: "Talented people are always a little arrogant. ”

Ronan and Heath Ledger must have been heard talking, and a nearby office door opened, and Christopher Nolan came out to say hello: "Hi, Ronan. I just heard the voice and thought it was you......"

Ronan walked towards him: "Met Heath Ledger and had a few conversations. ”

Christopher Nolan invited Ronan and Connie into the office and said, "There were a couple of clips that weren't very well recorded on the spot, and Heath Ledger came over today to record them, and that's the last thing he's going to do in production." ”

Ronan understood what this meant: "In addition to publicity, Heath Ledger's work on the crew has been completed?"

Christopher Nolan continued: "Heath Ledger has started a new job, and he has taken on two new films, one is Weinstein Pictures' "I'm Not There", a music album. The other seems to be a project of Sony Entertainment, but I don't know exactly ......"

"His career is going well now," Ronan said. ”

With a new job and a new role, it means that Heath Ledger has come out of the role of the Joker, and may have walked out a long time ago.

Ronan instead asked, "How's The Dark Knight going?"

Christopher Nolan replied: "Post-production has just begun, Hans Zimmer has already promised to continue scoring the film, many post-production work is in the first phase, and it is expected that all production will not be completed until the end of the year at the earliest. ”

Ronan said: "Don't worry, the film will be released next summer, and there is plenty of time." ”

"Warner Bros. is a little anxious. Christopher Nolan said: "Charles Rowan has asked me several times. ”

He looked at Ronan: "It should be related to the success of "Iron Man" and the failure of "Superman Returns", I got relevant news, Warner Bros. is ready to overturn all other DC superhero movie plans except for "Batman" and "Watchmen", and is ready to build a Justice League cinematic universe like Marvel Entertainment." ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, they also want to do more articles on the Batman series. ”

Christopher Nolan asked, slightly surprised, "What do Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to do?"

This is directly related to himself, and he has to be concerned.

Ronan revealed a little: "Some time ago, Charles Rowan talked to me about hoping that Shahai Entertainment would withdraw from the third part of the series, "The Dark Knight Rises", and it would be filmed by Warner Bros. ”

Christopher Nolan frowned: "Aren't they breaking the agreement? I won't agree! Ronan, you know, I'm always on your side, if ......"

Ronan raised his hand to interrupt Christopher Nolan's words: "Chris, this involves a business competition between the two companies, you don't get involved." This series, you do it according to your plan, don't worry about me and relativity entertainment. ”

"I ......" Christopher Nolan was suddenly a little moved: "My strength is limited, and I may not be able to help you much." But Ronan, I'm always on your side whenever you need to, even if you ask. ”

Ronan said with a smile: "I know, you can rest assured, even if Shahai Entertainment withdraws, Warner Bros. will have to pay a certain price." ”

Christopher Nolan connected to this month's film: "Will the success of 'Iron Man' and the failure of 'Superman Return' make Relativity Entertainment's relationship with Warner Bros. delicate?"

Ronan said: "This is a small problem, and relativistic entertainment can handle it. ”

"Superman Returns" fell far short of Warner Bros. expectations, and after only one week at the top of the North American box office charts, the box office plummeted to $21.01 million the following weekend, and was robbed of the first spot by Universal's new release "Miami Vice."

Even the latter's $25.72 million first-week box office is worthy of the name of Big Hit Street relative to the $135 million investment.

"Iron Man" crossed the $300 million mark at the North American box office this weekend, accumulating $311.01 million.

According to the trend since its release, there is no difficulty for the film to exceed $350 million at the North American box office.

The overseas response is still worse than that in North America, but the overseas box office has also reached nearly $180 million, and the global box office has exceeded $500 million in a matter of days.

"Iron Man" was also successfully released on the other side of the Pacific, with a total box office of 57.2 million soft girl coins, and it takes a bit of luck to have a box office of over 100 million.

However, the pirated peripheral products related to it have been raging over there.

According to the statistics of the Oriental Branch of Embassy Pictures, there are more than five versions of the gun version on the Internet alone.

No way, this kind of thing really can't be solved by relativistic entertainment.

Ronan, who has experienced it firsthand, knows best that there is no way for all Hollywood to unite together.

The two discussed Warner Bros.'s Justice League Cinematic Universe plan for a while, and Christopher Nolan suddenly said, "By the way, Ronan, the script for the new project I told you last time has completed the first draft." ”
