Chapter 476: Confidence and Doubt
This is the film with the highest investment in Relativity Entertainment, and it is also the first first-line production in the true sense of Relativity Entertainment, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" is related to the future development of the entire group company.
A grand premiere kicked off at the Kodak Theatre.
In another "Pirates of the Caribbean" that Ronan has experienced, Disney will premiere at Disneyland in California to realize the interaction between the film and the amusement park's theme project.
At that time, Disney was not optimistic about this pirate film at all, and the promotional resources invested in the early stage were far inferior to the current Embassy Pictures, and even Disney's owner Michael Eisner just regarded "Pirates of the Caribbean" as a promotional film for Disneyland's amusement projects.
But in the hands of Relativity Entertainment, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the most important project, with a budget of up to $100 million for the announcement, and it can be added at any time.
The grand premiere kicked off with the sun setting in the west, and the stars walked the red carpet one after another, including Will Smith and Tom Cruise, who were not in Los Angeles, to cheer Ronan on.
Relativity Entertainment's top management, as well as all of its subsidiaries, seemed to want to collectively witness the success of the company's first top-notch production project.
"Call of the Pirates" also awakened many people's memories of pirate movies, and a large number of fans gathered at the premiere.
There is no shortage of entertainment reporters where there are stars, and hundreds of media reporters and photographers fill the media area, which is not as grand as the Oscars, but it is no worse than the premieres of any of the major first-line productions.
In the media area, Arenas from The Hollywood Reporter watched the Latin diva Shakira walk down the red carpet and said to her peers, "It's so loud." β
McNays, an entertainment reporter for the Los Angeles Times, said: "The premiere alone cost Embassy Pictures $3 million, and I have a friend who works at Embassy Pictures, and it is said that as of last week, the film had spent nearly $80 million on marketing and marketing." β
The premieres of "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 2" also invested so much money, but these two films are sequels to the hit movies after all.
He couldn't help but admire: "Don't look at Relativity Entertainment is a second-tier company, it's really rich." β
Arenas sneered and said, "There is no one who dares to invest so much money in a pirate film." Once the movie fails, will Relativity Entertainment go bankrupt directly?"
"You're not optimistic?" McNays certainly understood the mockery.
Instead of answering, Arenas asked, "Do you think a pirate movie can be successful?"
McNeys was silent, because the answer was self-evident, and few people were optimistic about this "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"Look! Ronan Anderson is here!" McNeys reminded, "The boss of Relativity Entertainment is here, and it is said that he is the one who started this movie project!"
Seeing that Ronan Anderson was about to enter the media zone, Arenas turned on the voice recorder and drilled forward, ready to interview the producer who dared to invest heavily in making a pirate movie.
Ronan walked briskly across the red carpet and saw posters of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Keira Knightley held in the hands of many fans.
Due to the signing of the relevant contract, as long as Shahai Entertainment launches a sequel, the return of these three will not be a problem.
And they themselves want to star in a sequel movie.
For star actors, if they want to make a lot of money, a sequel movie or something is actually the best and least risky choice.
This is a very realistic situation, Christian Bale and Keira Knightley, although they are somewhat famous, are definitely poor among Hollywood stars, and Johnny Depp is in a better situation, but he is not particularly rich.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a big hit, and if Shahai Entertainment wants to make a sequel, it is impossible to change the protagonist unless it is absolutely necessary.
Those who have acted in more sequel movies and want to jump out are basically people who have made a lot of money.
For the sake of the film's publicity, Ronan was also ready to go into battle in person and walked into the media interview area.
After answering a few routine questions, a reporter with a Hollywood Reporter badge asked aloud, "Ronan, do you think Pirates of the Caribbean will succeed?"
"Of course it will be successful!" How could Ronan doubt his company's movies at this time, not to mention that he was very confident, even if he didn't have confidence, he had to bite the bullet and say that it was successful. He asked rhetorically: "Have you seen the trailer? Don't you think the film is whimsical, full of incredible imagination and creativity? The intoxicating scenery of the Caribbean Sea, the endless atmosphere of Port St. Vincent, the pride of the Black Pearl cutting through the wind and waves, and the music as wide as the sea......
Ronan looked particularly confident: "I think this film has all the ingredients for the success of commercial films, and I can't do it without being a hit." β
Regardless of whether he will be slapped in the face later, he must not say frustrating words now.
The red carpet ceremony was still going on, and in the VIP room of the Kodak Theater, Robert Egger was greeted as hosts to all parties, along with George Clint and GarcΓa Rodriguez.
Robert Iger had just left where Tom Cruise and Will Smith were when he saw his former boss.
Michael Eisner came up to Robert Iger and said with a smile, "Hello, Bob, long time no see." β
Robert Iger smiled charmingly: "Mr. Eisner, welcome to the premiere. β
"How's it going to work at Relativity Entertainment?" asked Michael Eisner, as if he were an old friend, "Is it going well?"
Robert Iger politely replied, "Everything is fine. β
Michael Eisner added: "If things don't go your way, come back, and I'm always ready to welcome you." β
Robert Iger smiled like a Mickey Mouse: "Thank you." Thank you very much, Mr. Eisner, for taking care of me all the time. β
As for returning to Walt Disney, there is no need to think about it, and Disney can offer a similar career as the chief operating officer who is in power relative to entertainment?
Michael Eisner smiled and said, "Bob, I have a question. β
"Speak. "Robert Iger has always maintained an attitude of great respect for his old boss.
"I don't know what Ronan Anderson thinks. Michael Eisner said lightly: "Why do you want to make such a movie with the same name as Disneyland attractions?
Robert Iger said, "How could Ronan have an opinion about Disney? The story of this film is about the adventures of pirates in the Caribbean, and the title needs to match the theme." β
Michael Eisner said, "What if the film fails, will it affect Disneyland?"
Robert Iger has a relatively mild personality, and even when he heard such words, his expression did not change at all, and he said: "Relativity Entertainment's movies and Disney's amusement projects are independent commercial products, and I believe no one will associate them with this." β
He also knows that many people are not optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean", but as a senior member of the company, he must have confidence in his own films.
Besides, all procedures of "Pirates of the Caribbean" comply with laws and industry regulations, and do not infringe on any legitimate rights and interests of Disney.
Ronan entered the VIP room at this time and specially greeted every guest who came over, as for Michael Eisner, who came to congratulate him, there are some things to listen to.
He is also not worried that Michael Eisner or Disney will target "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Relativity Entertainment, Disney is full of internal contradictions, as long as it does not take the initiative to provoke Disney, Disney has no energy to care about the outside affairs.
As for the success or failure of the film, it will not be known until it is released.
Entering the theater, director Gore Wibinski sat next to Ronan.
"I just heard a lot of voices. Gore Verbinski was a little worried: "They didn't like our film, they all said that "Pirates of the Caribbean" was lost. β
Ronan was very calm: "Gore, we all know how good this film you made, don't we?"
Gore Verbinsky smiled embarrassedly: "I was talked about a lot, and my mentality was also affected. β
Ronan vowed that "not only will this film be successful, but we will continue to make a sequel." β
Gore Verbinski was distracted by the sequel, saying: "I've read the script of the sequel, it's a very grand worldview and storyline. β
Ronan thought about it and decided to give Gore Verbinski a breath first: "As long as "The Curse of the Black Pearl" is successful, I plan to use the method of set shooting for the last two sequels and shoot them all at once. β
Gore Verbinski was silent for a while and said, "Yes, I have no opinion. β
But if the sequel wants to be filmed, the first part must be successful.
As a director, Gore Wibinski has always had confidence in his films, but people are always influenced by their surroundings, and there have been too many voices watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" recently, and even Gore Wibinski's self-confidence has been shaken.
"Hello, Mr. Anderson. "Christian Bale came over.
Ronan nodded, then stood up and shook his hand, "Hello, Bell." He patted Christian Bale's arm lightly: "The dress is nice and accentuates the figure." β
Christian Bale couldn't help laughing and said: "Two action movies in a row, the training is a bit ruthless, and the muscle contours are all out." β
"Will Turner, the little blacksmith, and Bruce Wayne, Batman, are the pinnacles of what ordinary people can achieve, and your strength is the best," Ronan said. β
As the showtime approached, a large number of fans also flocked to the theater.
Although the pirate film has declined, thanks to the high-investment, large-scale and full-coverage promotion, a huge number of fans still noticed the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the premiere theaters were all full.
These fans will soon embark on a magical and joyful pirate journey.
