Chapter 55: Prodigal Turnover

Hollywood, this glorious place, will never lack the glamorous winners and the banquets where the winners gather.

"Congratulations, Leo."

In the banquet hall, someone specially came to congratulate Leonardo, who was so energetic: "$1.8 billion at the box office!"

Leonardo Haha laughed and had a drink with the visitor.

1.8 billion actor, the only one in the world!

Walking in the banquet hall, listening to the pleasant congratulations, seeing the pleasing smiles, Leonardo was in a great mood, and suddenly thought of one thing, James Cameron raised his arms at the Oscars ceremony. "I am the king of the world"……

It should be me who really chanted "I am the king of the world", right?

The **** group of conservative old men at Oscar ignored him and refused to nominate him. What a bunch of old bastards!

Leonardo thought without malicious intent that these stubborn old **** must be jealous that they are handsomer than them, jealous that more women like them, and jealousy even older aunts who match them like them.

What is an Oscar nomination? I am now 1.8 billion actor, Oscar's best actor will be in the bag sooner or later, you have the ability to suppress me for ten years?

After wandering in the banquet hall for a while, Leonardo frowned. There is a problem with the organizer. Who are the female guests? No long blond legs!

In boredom, Leonardo came to a small circle he knew. The people in that small circle included Bran Milner of Warner Bros., Djokov of Twentieth Century Fox and Chris of Sony Entertainment.

"What are you talking about?" Leonardo intervened directly in the circle of these people, "The discussion was very lively."

Bran Milner smiled at Leonardo: "The most recent popular horror movie, just won the box office chart this week."

"A horror film with great potential." Chris took over: "Sony Entertainment almost got the distribution rights, but it's a pity..."

Djokov said: "This year’s Halloween is the biggest dark horse. The producer is not simple. Not only did he write the script himself, he also had ideas in selecting directors and actors. The director created an atmosphere of horror and thriller. Have potential."

Another person Leonardo didn’t know nodded and said, “The most amazing thing is that this producer is twenty years old. It’s amazing!” He smiled and said, “What am I doing at twenty? Drinking seaweed and drinking seaweed. I don't understand what the movie is about."

A twenty-year-old producer? A face drifted past Leonardo's eyes unconsciously.

impossible! Absolutely impossible! Leonardo immediately rejected this idea. Although he hasn't paid much attention to entertainment news recently, the prodigal turned over...

Hollywood, the winners are always more successful, and the losers fail more.

How can a prodigal stand up?

Leonardo couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Which movie are you talking about?"

"The Human Clearance Project." Chris replied.

Leonardo shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." He asked again, "Which company's movie."

Bran-Milner answered: "A small company called Shahai Entertainment. I went to a movie conference, but I didn’t expect to see it."

Sand Sea Entertainment? Leonardo widened his eyes and asked, "Is the producer the prodigal Ronan Anderson?"

Hearing this, several other people were speechless for a moment. With the box office trend of "Human Removal Project", how can Ronan Anderson be considered a prodigal? It belongs to successful people, okay?

Twentieth Century Fox’s Djokov tentatively asked: "Leo, do you know Ronan Anderson?"

Leonardo looked a little ugly: "I know his father."

Chris and Bran Milner can see that Leonardo seems to be very upset with Ronan Anderson. Now Leonardo is in the spring breeze, so it's better not to provoke him.

The two made an excuse and slipped away.

Leonardo was just a little dizzy by the toast, but not stupid, and asked Djokaf: "Is Ronan Anderson's "Human Removal Project" very successful?"

Djokaf took a look at Leonardo and told the truth: "Last weekend’s box office champion, got 11.4 million U.S. dollars." He tried his best to follow Leonardo’s meaning: "Because it has expanded 1,000 more than last week. In theaters, "Human Elimination Project" can suppress the $8.2 million of "Halloween 7" and win the box office champion.

Ronan Anderson could win the box office title? Leonardo almost rushed out of his mouth when he thought of that nasty guy who first refuted and then digs into his corner in public. His eyes became cold and he asked, "Which box office champion is this?"

"The first. "The Human Clearance Project" was released in the second week, and the first week was the runner-up at the box office." Djokaf simply said what he knew, "Currently, the North American box office has accumulated 33.44 million US dollars."

Leonardo nodded, and fell silent suddenly. After a while, he subconsciously touched his face.

I seem to have criticized Ronan Anderson as a prodigal in many public occasions. I must have heard a lot of people. After all, I am a 1.8 billion male protagonist and there are naturally many people who follow.

Now that the prodigal son is turning over, it looks like my face is dull, right? I am afraid that many people will be behind...

Fortunately, the 1.8 billion actor is much taller than the tens of millions of producers. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to meet Ronan Anderson in the future.

I don't know why, since the box office of "Titanic" has been hit, Leonardo's brain, which has been floating in the sky, suddenly calmed down.

Is it a bit too much for Ronan Anderson?

But speaking of it, Ronan Anderson provoked the conflict between the two after all.

"What do you think of the film "Human Removal Project"?"

Walking on the promenade of the banquet hall, Bran Milner asked Chris: "Predict the North American box office?"

Chris said directly: "It's about 50 million dollars. This kind of film can't have a long screening life, and it will exhaust the market potential in five or six weeks at most."

Bran-Milner nodded: "The public cost is 11 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office is 50 million U.S. dollars. Lionsgate has made a good deal."

Chris rubbed his forehead: "Actually, I regret that I really should have won the distribution rights of this film." He asked curiously: "It is said that Warner Bros. did not talk to Shahai Entertainment?"

"Because I missed my eyes." Bran Milner said bluntly. He sighed: "Fortunately, I left Warner Bros. last week, otherwise it would be a little trouble for the boss to ask."

Chris knew that Bran Milner had resigned, so he talked about this: "You are not the only one who missed you. Didn't I miss you too?" He smiled: "I only thought Ronan Anderson was young. He has a good personality, but he didn't expect to be very capable."

Bran Milner has left Warner Bros. and asked, "Don't you take some remedial measures? Lionsgate does not have overseas distribution capabilities."

Chris laughed: "I have made an appointment with Ronan Anderson, and I will meet the day after tomorrow."

…………

Xin Xian Pictures, the director's office of the publishing department.

"Deron." Director Brian leaned back on his office chair and looked at the person opposite: "I heard Ronan Anderson came to New Line Films several times to promote the "Human Removal Project", right?"

Ronan-Anderson is an upright company, Deron can't deny it, and said: "Yes, I have come to me several times."

Why did that movie sell well? Is this unreasonable? According to normal rules, people who failed in the previous film didn't even do a summary, and 90% of them will continue to fail.

Bryan asked again: "Ronan Anderson didn't send a copy?"

"Sent it." Delong can only tell the truth: "I watched it once and the quality of the film was average, so it was thrown into the waste film library."

"The quality is average?" Brian asked, raising his voice.

A few drops of sweat leaked out on Delong's forehead. The company has always been waiting for new works by losers. Is this my problem?

But thousands of mistakes are not the fault of the leader.

Bryan, like all bosses, absolutely turn his face when it is time to turn his face: "A film of average quality will cost more than 33 million US dollars? Are your eyes growing behind your head?"

Delong lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak.

"Shahai Entertainment has worked with us before, and I must be looking for us to continue to cooperate." Brian snorted coldly, "Look at these bad things you did!"

He paused for a while, and then said: "As far as I know, the overseas copyright of the "Human Removal Project" is still there. You can talk to Ronan Anderson."
