Chapter 269: chain reaction

On Saturday morning, Matt Damon finished washing and just came downstairs when he saw his girlfriend Winona Ryder coming over with a fax.

"This is your fax." Renona Ryder squeezed directly into Matt Damon's hand and greeted at the same time: "Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Matt Damon followed into the restaurant, sat at the table, and quickly looked at the document, which was faxed by Embassy Pictures.

Winona Ryder said: "I faxed it in the early hours of last night. I saw you slept soundly and didn't call you."

Matt Damon smiled and said, "I attended a lot of activities yesterday, and it takes too much energy to deal with reporters."

Winona Ryder curiously looked at the fax in his hand: "Is it about your new movie?"

Although they are male and female friends, they both respect each other very much and will not deliberately look at each other's documents or other things.

Matt Damon was in a good mood, took a bite of the whole wheat bread, swallowed it, and said: "The box office of "The Bourneman" has been counted on the first day, with $18.6 million."

"So many." Winona Ryder was a little surprised: "The film has a very good response."

Matt Damon said proudly: "Of course the response is good. Doesn't it depend on who the protagonist is?"

Winona Ryder deliberately said: "Why did I hear that the producer was called..." She thought for a moment, and continued: "Yes, Ronan Anderson, when he invited you, you didn't want to What about this role?"

"It was just a little hesitant." Matt Damon made a very small gesture: "Just so hesitated."

He shrugged and said: "Ronan Anderson is indeed a good candidate. The role of Jason Byrne is a special match for me, and it doesn't take too much effort to act. There is also his finalized director Paul Greengrass. An unknown British director, but shooting and editing are unique."

Winona Ryder has never touched Ronan, just nodded.

Matt Damon added: "It's really not luck for this person to succeed one after another. It's not easy. If you have a chance to cooperate with Ronan Anderson in the future, don't miss it."

"The last person you praised this way was Spielberg." Winona Ryder said.

Matt Damon laughed: "$18.6 million, which created my personal best single-day box office record."

Hearing this, Winona Ryder got up and took out a red wine and two wine glasses from the cupboard, put them in front of them and poured the wine, and said: "We should have a drink and celebrate."

Matt Damon said: "There will be business in a while, only a drink."

Winona Ryder smiled and said, "Just have a drink."

The two toasted and drank together to celebrate Matt Damon's new personal single-day box office record.

Matt Damon continued to eat his breakfast, rejoicing while eating. Fortunately, he took this film and did not stupidly reject Ronan Anderson. This is the glorious moment of today.

This time, I got not only the simple box office numbers, but also the praises from the sky. Taking on Ronan Anderson's film, it has a high box office, a good reputation, and the acting skills have been unanimously affirmed. Counted.

The Embassy Pictures’ internal box office estimate for "The Bourne" is 150 million U.S. dollars in North America. If such a result can be achieved, he will basically be able to squeeze into Hollywood's quasi-first movie stars.

There will be a sequel later, if you continue to succeed, a coffee will be secured.

No wonder Caa rushed over to dig his own corner, these can be easily analyzed.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the famous agent Brian Lord from CAA paid a visit, and Matt Damon took him into the reception room.

Winona Ryder could roughly guess that Matt Damon was about to change the agency, but she didn't mix it up, just sent two cups of coffee.

In the reception room, the atmosphere of both parties was very good, and the negotiations on various conditions were also very pleasant.

Before Brian Lord came over, he had discussed various conditions with the manager of Matt Damon in detail, and he chose to visit today because he was actually waiting for various data feedback from "The Bourne".

This will better control the market value of Matt Damon.

The two parties had a very good chat. When talking about the back, Brian Lord also used Ronan to increase the bargaining chip of Caa, saying: "Matt, it is said that there are two more behind "The Bourne"?

Matt Damon smiled and said, "I don't know this."

Of course he knows that there is a sequel, but only one contract was signed at the beginning, and the following cooperation has to be negotiated.

Brian Lord said: "I personally and Ronan are very good friends. We attended Ronan's moving party together. Surely you remember?"

Matt Damon nodded: "Remember, we met that night."

Brian Lord added: "Caa has established a long-term strategic partnership with Shahai Entertainment. If you switch to Caa, it will be of great benefit to your future cooperation with Ronan and Shahai Entertainment."

Matt Damon is seriously considering what Brian Lord said. At Ronan's moving party last time, it seemed that only Caa's agent appeared.

"The Bourne Shadow" will be a big hit." Brian Lord emphasized: "I had a deep chat with Ronan. This is a series of trilogy. Director Paul Greengrass signed three of them with Shahai Entertainment. The song contract is enough to guarantee the style and characteristics of subsequent films. With such high-quality resources, coupled with the operation of caa, even if this trilogy cannot make you a superstar, it is enough to squeeze into the top few of the aa."

Matt Damon has actually made a decision, he just hesitated a little and shook hands with Brian Lord: "I like caa."

Brian Lord laughed happily: "Matt, caa welcomes you."

With the start of Saturday’s rest day, the attendance of "The Bourne" has increased. The previous propaganda mourning Robert Ludren attracted many audiences over 30 to watch.

In their youth, Robert Ludren was the most popular writer in the United States.

In some newspapers and magazines, new voices began to appear: The best way to mourn Robert Lu Delun is to go to the theater to watch "The Bourne"!

If this kind of propaganda is accompanied by a bad film, it will soon be stinking.

However, the quality of "The Bourne Shadow" is guaranteed, instead, it makes people who have seen it become a channel of word-of-mouth dissemination and further spread it to people around it.

During this period, the media's touts have not stopped.

"The Bourne Shadow" perfectly blends the spy film mode and the ingenious design beyond imagination. It is an action thriller that can move everyone."

"The spy story of this movie and Matt Damon's sincere and dedicated performances completely immerse the audience. The most prominent feature is the characters and plot, not the spectacle of special effects."

After Saturday, "The Bourneman" received another $19.25 million in a single day, continuing to lead the North American box office charts this weekend, and leaving behind the second place "Tomb Raider" to reach as much as $10 million. There is little suspense about getting the North American box office champion.

By Sunday, the good reputation of the film had spread on the Internet, and it was widely circulated among fans through forums and blogs.

"This movie is definitely the best beginning of the "Bourne Trilogy". The filming is much more exciting than the novel. The clean and neat method, without any extra sensational or inexplicable delay, whether it is the relationship between the characters or the overall The rhythm of the film that is appealing and substituting is very good, and the details are also meticulous."

"Bourne is so handsome!"

"The plot is relaxed, the pictures and the lens are superb, and the scenes in different countries are very beautiful. When a person starts to recognize himself and finds that all his cognition is something he wants to forget, what will he do? Byrne His choice was to burn the flames of war to the door of his house, forcing everyone to forget themselves!"

"After watching this film, I found that the names with * are very powerful, such as jamesbond, jasonboue..."

Three days later in the first weekend, "The Bourne Flyer" had a burst of $49.85 million in North America, surpassing the $19.7 million of "Tomb Raider" released in the second week, and airborne the North American box office champion!

This special agent action movie fully met Ronan's expectations.

More importantly, no matter what aspect of the film’s reputation is excellent, there will be a more stable trend in the future.

Even heavyweight media such as the "New York Times" all agree that "The Bourne" has set a new benchmark for Hollywood spy movies.

Compared with previous successes, the embassy film industry is very calm inside. On the one hand, this success is completely planned, and it has been judged from the trial stage.

On the other hand, when the company's films continue to be successful, the success will bring joy, but it will not make people excited.

Soon after "The Bourne" was released at the North American box office, Roshan's nephew of the Indian Mountain Foundation called one after another, inviting Ronan to take time to spend a holiday in India and Mumbai They must be sincere. Send...

The first Hollywood movie that was invested in is a big hit, and no one will be happy to find North.

Ronan can understand the emotions of Ross Khan's uncle and nephew, and has no plans to pit the Mountain Foundation. Relativity Entertainment is already on the right track, and everything is calculated according to Hollywood rules.

However, "The Bourne" has not yet been released overseas, and it is still very far from the settlement of investment income.

Embassy Pictures is also preparing for the overseas release of "The Bourne". The overseas release of "Shrek" does not require continuous investment of resources.

Starting from the second weekend in North America, "The Bourne" will be released first in more than 30 countries and regions including Europe, Latin America, South Korea and Australia.

In addition, the overseas box office of "Shrek", which continues to be released overseas, has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, and offline revenue has exceeded tens of millions of U.S. dollars, but more offline revenues will not be fully negotiated until the film is released.

The box office and word-of-mouth explosion of "The Bourne" has brought a series of chain effects, and the impact is so wide that it has exceeded Ronan's expectations.
