For Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures, "Spy Shadows" is the project in which Ronan has invested the most funds and resources since he took control of these two companies, and it is also directly related to whether he can enter the first-line big production or even super A-level big production in the future.

Without relevant production experience and commercial operation accumulation, rashly entering the top commercial production market will inevitably mean huge risks.

Therefore, the success or failure of "Spy Shadow" is extremely critical.

To this end, Ronan did not hesitate to work with the family of Robert Ludren to make the deceased remembered and remembered again.

The premiere is very important for the promotion of a medium-sized or higher production film, and Ronan has also worked this.

"Damn!

This was the first reaction of almost all the journalists who came to cover the premiere of the film when they arrived at the Nokia Theatre, and they were all shocked by the ingenious layout!

In front of the Nokia Theater, a pure black carpet stretches from the entrance of the theater to the edge of the road, which looks so different and different.

In order to mourn Robert Ludren and conform to the atmosphere created by the publicity and promotion, Ronan specially asked the Embassy Pictures to lay out a 180-foot-long black carpet!

This is not unique in the history of Hollywood, but it is also very rare.

What surprised media reporters even more was that the crew members who walked on the black carpet wore black dresses without exception, and even Jennifer Garner, who was the heroine, wore a dark black women's suit.

This gave the premiere a sense of poise, in stark contrast to the other premieres, with a slightly heavy atmosphere replacing joy.

The traditional red carpet was replaced by black, in order to meet the occasion, but also in memory of Robert Ludron, the black carpet was deep, and the guests also coincidentally chose black dresses, without exaggerated expressions, in the face of one cheer after another, at most with a faint smile.

The black carpet is lined with large photos and promotional posters of Robert Ludrun and the "Bourne Trilogy", which even steals the limelight from celebrities.

Robert Ludlen's family also came to the scene and was very cooperative in accepting interviews with media reporters.

In front of the theater, a band specially hired by Embassy Pictures played a short film score live, and Robert Ludlen's name flashed again in the Los Angeles night sky.

Far from making the premiere less appealing, these brought to a climax the atmosphere of remembrance and remembrance of Robert Ludlen, which had been brewing since the beginning of May.

Ronan walked down the black carpet in a black suit with a serious face and entered the media interview area.

In the past, he rarely appeared in front of the screen, but "Spy Shadow" is too critical for the future, even if it can only add a little bit of topicality and attractiveness, Ronan will appear in person.

Regarding Robert Ludron, Ronan does not have unrealistic expectations to achieve the extremely explosive effect of Heath Ledger and "The Dark Knight" in his previous life, after all, Heath Ledger is an actor star in front of the scenes, and he has the huge media weapon of Warner Bros., which can be easily deified, and Robert Ludren is a writer after all.

But it can attract millions more people to pay attention to "Spy Shadows", and these efforts are enough.

As soon as Ronan entered the media interview area, reporters immediately surrounded him.

"When I was talking to Mr. Robert Ludrun about the film adaptation of the Bourne Trilogy, I solemnly invited him to the premiere of the film. ”

Facing the microphone and camera of media reporters, Ronan looked heavy and sad: "Mr. Lu Delun also gladly accepted the invitation, but I didn't expect ......"

He sighed bitterly and added, "I thought he wouldn't be absent from today's premiere......"

A producer who doesn't know how to perform at the right time is definitely not a qualified studio owner: "Mr. Robert Ludlun's creative talent is incredible, and his "Bourne Trilogy" is a valuable literary treasure, and I am honored and proud to have his recognition and authorization to adapt this series."

Ronan paused for a moment, as if to ease his grief, and added: "Mr. Ludlun has used the Bourne Trilogy to create an amazing world of secret agents, which can be called a classic among classics. Although he has gone to heaven, we can still enjoy his works through movies and movies, so that his name will be forever sung in the world. ”

After the interview, Ronan walked out of the media area with a serious face, did not go to the group photo, and walked directly to the Nokia Theater, and then saw Tom Cruise at the door of the theater.

"Why is it so serious?" Tom Cruise wasn't used to Ronan's taut face.

Ronan beckoned Tom Cruise into the theater, instantly relaxed, and said, "It turns out that the performance is both tired and tired. ”

Tom Cruise couldn't help but laugh and said, "The propaganda you planned yourself is going to be done while you're crying." ”

Ronan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just have to stay behind the scenes most of the time." ”

Tom Cruise reveals mercilessly and profoundly: "You are the man behind the legend." ”

Ronan walked to the VIP room first, and said as he walked: "I am the driving force behind the scenes, not the black hand." ”

Tom Cruise followed and said, "Ronan, how did you come up with these ideas? A few months ago, Paris Hilton was used to make a bad movie a big hit, and now even Robert Ludlun is a dead man. ”

"Alas...... Tom, you can't say that. "I communicated enough with Robert Ludlen's family before I made the plan, and if they didn't agree, I wouldn't use it," Ronan stressed. ”

"Really?" Tom Cruise thinks he still knows Ronan better, he will have such a high discipline?

Ronan said very solemnly: "Of course it's true. ”

Anyway, Robert Ludlen's family not only agreed, but also actively participated, and it doesn't really matter whether it's really or not.

Tom Cruise asked, "Is that 'House of the Dead' out of theaters?"

Ronan replied: "It was in late May in North America, $34.1 million in North America and $44.8 million worldwide." Overseas is expected to grow. ”

"In terms of the operation of the film...... Tom Cruise can only say, "I don't have much more to say than admiration." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "I'm not modest. ”

In fact, the North American box office of "House of the Dead" exceeded $30 million in only three weeks, and the subsequent increase was better than nothing, and when the Paris Hilton character collapsed, the increase was very small.

The performance of the overseas side is much worse, but fortunately, it is affected by the North American market, and the box office has also recorded tens of millions of dollars.

However, due to the extremely poor audience reputation of the film, "House of the Dead" has limited offline income, and it is not even $5 million at present.

However, relative to investment, this film still makes Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment make a lot of money.

Of course, Ronan is not the only winner, which involves the investment of Koch Films, and the two sides will follow the agreement to make a net profit delivery after deducting various costs and taxes from Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan will naturally not go to the pit Tony Koch, but he will not go beyond the Hollywood profit calculation model, everything is done according to the rules, so that the long-term cooperation can continue.

Although it has not been calculated in detail, in general, Koch Films' $1 million investment can probably have a total profit of about $3 million.

Entering the VIP room, Ronan took the initiative to greet people, and several second-tier star customers under CAA also came to help support the field, and as the host, he should go to be polite.

Then, Ronan saw two people, their faces were a little exciting, but they quickly returned to normal.

"Hi, Ben. Ronan went over and said, "Welcome to the premiere." ”

The host definitely had to be courteous to be hospitable.

Ben Affleck shook Ronan's hand: "Hello, Ronan. ”

Ronan turned to look at Jennifer Garner, who was beside Ben Affleck, and said, "Jane, why did you get in?"

According to common sense, she has to participate in group photos and so on.

Jennifer Garner graciously took Ben Affleck's arm and said, "I have a menstrual period, and my body is not very well, I told George. ”

Ronan nodded and said with concern, "Pay more attention." He then looked at Ben Affleck: "You ......"

Ben Affleck wasn't embarrassed: "Jane accepted my courtship and we're boyfriend and girlfriend now. ”

"Congratulations. Ronan said with a smile.

Who wrote this script? It's really bloody.

Ronan muttered in his heart, chatted with the two for a while, and went somewhere else.

The crew members came to the VIP room one after another, and Ronan found Paul Greengrass to exchange information about the creation of the sequel, during which he glanced at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and found that Matt Damon was chatting with the two of them.

This Hollywood-style love is really incomprehensible.

Ronan shook his head and no longer paid attention to the situation over there, it seems that Hollywood couples who have broken up like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are a small number of old and dead people, most of them are similar to what they just saw, and they are still friends after the breakup.

For example, Sean Penn and Charlize Theron, the two officially dated for two years, and after the breakup, Sean Penn introduced Charlize Theron to Brad Pitt.

It doesn't seem uncommon for some people to have an occasional friendship cannon after a breakup.

Ronan has worked hard in Hollywood for several years, and one of his biggest views on star actors is that he must not use the image in front of the screen to look at the real face of stars.

There are angels in front of the public, and if you turn your head, you may be a devil.

A lot of propaganda or something, just look at it, as a pastime and entertainment, after all, Hollywood can even make dead people gods.

When the time was about to begin, Ronan led the crew into the theater screening hall and was greeted with unusually warm applause.

The hall was crowded with people, even if the film had not yet been screened, and there was already thunderous applause, as if everyone was waiting for this moment, and they were all trying to commemorate a great writer who had passed away in this special way.

The audience was full, and there was not even a single empty seat!

This premiere was 100 percent attended!
