Chapter 353: Made this bowl of chicken soup

After getting the name, Ronan checked it on the Internet that night, and he could see that Chris Gardner’s experience was quite similar to that of the movie actor in his memory. The next day he went to work, he asked the assistant team to collect relevant information. Details of Reese Gardner.

More and more information gathered in Ronan's hands. Through the mutual confirmation of information and memory, he was completely sure that Chris Gardner was the protagonist of the previous life "When Happiness Knocks".

How can such a chicken soup movie be worthy of the so-called American dream if it is not filled with audiences in the United States.

If you have a dream, you must defend it.

If you have a dream, work hard to realize it.

This is the motivation that Chris Gardner often instills in his employees.

Very chicken soup, isn't it?

Ronan intends to tell all ordinary people and losers in the United States: Don't panic, happiness will eventually come, as long as you buy movie tickets in your wallet, happiness is in front of you.

Besides, this is still a black movie.

At other times, Ronan may have doubts, but after 9/11, the American society and economy have undergone major changes, which has profoundly affected the viewing choices of Hollywood and movie audiences.

Just this month, at the 74th Oscars, blacks became the biggest winners.

Denzel Washington won the best actor with "Training Day"; Halle Berry's "Dance of Death Row" made her the first black Oscar heroine.

This not only invigorated the blacks in the Hollywood circle, but also gave all the black groups in the United States a shot.

Ronan can only sigh, unite all the forces that can be united, and Lao Mei plays the same way.

In the current social environment, from the government to the society to the private sector, it seems that the power of black people is needed.

Thus, a pair of black celebrities came into being.

Oscar used actual results to prove again that the relationship between winning and acting is not that close.

Of course, Halle Berry's dance performance with Billy Bob Thornton really made a sensation in the United States.

In contrast, Nicole Kidman is still not exposed enough in "Moulin Rouge."

How to get the Oscar heroine without fail? How to make future Oscar hosts sing "I've seen Mimi of Oscar's Best Actresses".

For best actor, Denzel Washington won the award, making another black superstar who nominated for best actor resented.

"Am I worse than Daniel Washington?" Will Smith does not complain in public, but there are many complaints in private: "Ronan, you tell me, my "Boxing King Ali" is not Okay?"

Ronan walked to the water dispenser in the office, took Will Smith a glass of mineral water, put it on the coffee table next to the sofa, sat on the other side, and said, "This is not a question of acting. Will you be the first Nominations."

He has been friends with Will Smith for several years, and there is no need to hesitate some words: "Don't you think that Oscar will reward you this year?"

Will Smith took a sip from the water glass and said, "I know this. I saw it right from the beginning of the awards season."

Ronan was not surprised by this, after all, Will Smith is also one of the leaders of Hollywood's future black life movement.

"I'm just a bit unwilling." Will Smith doesn't know that the chances of winning are small: "With so many resources invested, it turns out that starting from the outpost, most people choose Denzel Washington."

The awards ceremony is over, and Will Smith just complained.

Ronan said casually: "You are only nominated for the first time, and there will be opportunities in the future. You have to learn from Tom's mentality. You have nominated many times, and you have not won a prize once.

"Tom Cruise's mentality is worse than mine." Will Smith couldn't help laughing.

These words also reminded Ronan of a series of troubles caused by Tom Cruise because of the Oscar loss.

Indeed, Tom Cruise's mentality is not good.

Ronan said again, "Come slowly, don't worry."

Will Smith said: "When the filming of "Rivals of the People" is finished, I will look for projects suitable for Oscars."

Ronan immediately thought of Chris Gardner, but he just collected the information and has not contacted Chris Gardner himself. It is not the time to talk to Will Smith.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Will Smith waved his hand and prepared to leave: "I'm going to Sony Columbia to talk to them about the promotion schedule of "Men in Black 2"."

Ronan sent Will Smith out of the office.

Speaking of it, the company that Will Smith cooperates most with is Sony Columbia Pictures. "Men in Black", "Jedi Men", "Boxing King Ali", etc., are all films that cooperate with Sony Columbia.

Back in the office, Ronan called Robert Lee and asked him to come as soon as possible to deal with Chris Gardner's related authorization matters.

Judging from the mentality of Will Smith who wants to continue to attack Oscars, he will certainly not refuse to kill this bowl of chicken soup.

However, it is too difficult for Will Smith to get the best actor Oscar.

Not to mention, the two identities of hip-hop star origin and comedian are difficult mountains to climb.

The best case is to use Hollywood-style political correctness.

Strictly speaking, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is absolutely politically correct.

In this era, American Dream and Chicken Soup for the Soul are still commendatory words, and there are black male protagonists.

It's a pity that it's not a homosexual. Otherwise, wait a few more years and then shoot again. If the black and homosexual killer is displayed, maybe Will Smith can really win the award.

The political correctness of Hollywood’s past life has affected all aspects of the film industry, not to mention the Oscars, even Joanna Rowling jumped out to superfluously talk about Albus Dumbledore in the long-finished Harry Potter series. Is gay...

Following this rhythm, it is very likely to evolve into this situation: Gandalf and Saruman are a pair, Thor and Aquaman are lovers, Terminator and Robocop are robot lovers, King Kong and Godzilla are beyond race In love, Santa Claus and **** are year-end friends...

The whole world is shrouded in rainbows, the chrysanthemum becomes the flower of the earth, and everyone sings together.

There was a knock on the door, Ronan said please come in, and Robert Lee pushed the door and walked in.

"Look at these." Ronan handed a stack of information about Chris Gardner to Robert Lee: "The owner and CEO of Gardner Financial Management."

Robert Lee took it, looked through it carefully, and couldn't help saying: "This entrepreneurial experience is so inspirational. Oh, I'm still a black man."

Ronan said: "You go to Gardner's financial company and personally contact Chris Gardner. I need his authorization to adapt."

Although this kind of autobiographical film can be adapted without authorization, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

If the individual does not authorize the screenwriter or producer, but appears in the work, the individual can file a compensation lawsuit on the grounds of defamation, publicity, privacy infringement, unfair competition, etc.

These can be avoided if the relevant authorization is obtained.

Moreover, the license price for a real-life story is not high, and the highest price for a Hollywood real-life story adaptation is currently only $1 million. The other party is still a famous figure.

The average person is at most hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Ronan asked Robert Lee to make a special trip to avoid accidents.

After all, there are too many copyrights or scripts, which appeared many years before movies.

For example, "Dance of Death Row", which won Halle Berry as the best actress in the Oscar, was completed in early 1995. Because the screenwriter was not well-known at the time, the script was almost among many producers, producers, directors and actors. After changing hands, it was not until the spring of 2001 that Lionsgate Investment was finally finalized.

Robert Lee said: "I will make some preparations in the afternoon, and I will go to Gardner Financial Management tomorrow." He was the first to follow Ronan, and he believed Ronan's vision: "Chris Gardner is a very good inspiration. theme."

Ronan nodded slightly: "The inspirational theme has been taken, and the market prospects are very good."

Movies like this kind of chicken soup are still very selling points.

Hollywood inspirational movies are too numerous to mention, and the movies that scream for cure can stimulate the nerves of the audience in many cases.

This kind of little person's experience of finally struggling to succeed as an ordinary or even a failure can effectively grasp several pain points in the life of the masses, thereby triggering resonance, and making people experience a real and ordinary life with the protagonist in moving and struggling.

Just as Robert Lee was about to leave Ronan’s office, he remembered one thing and reminded him: "Blue Sky Studio's "Ice Age" is about to be released."

Before, Ronan had let Robert Lee stare at several animation film studios and animation departments of major companies.

"I know." Ronan had already followed this animated feature film: "It will be released in North America this weekend."

In the North American film market in March, there were three movies with the greatest publicity: "The Scorpion King" released by Universal Pictures, "Underworld" released by Embassy Pictures, and "Ice Age" released by Twentieth Century Fox.

The latter was released this month, and the first two were released in April.

Ronan thought for a while and said to Robert Lee: "You let someone stare at Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studio. Twentieth Century Fox has been talking about acquisitions with Blue Sky Studio, focusing on the acquisition of Blue Sky by 20th Century Fox. Trends in their own animation department."

Robert Lee replied: "I will send strong people to stare." He reminded again: "I heard that 20th Century Fox is very likely to disband the original animation department."

"Verify the authenticity of this news." Ronan said without hesitation: "If Twentieth Century Fox really does this, let me know as soon as possible."

It seems that the six major Hollywood companies have disbanded their original animation film production departments and turned to acquire independent animation studios.
