Chapter 364： Large forest
Early in the morning, Shakira sat on a wicker chair on the balcony, looking at the golden sea, as if seeing a pirate captain stepping on a catwalk stepping over the water. He quickly picked up the pen on the table and removed the one that just popped out. A few lyrics were written on the notebook.
Ronan put on his pajamas and brought his breakfast to the balcony.
"Have you any inspiration?" He glanced at his notebook.
Shakira smiled and said, "I think of a few words, I feel pretty good."
"Continue?" Ronan saw Shakira shaking his head, pointing to the dinner plate, and said, "Eat breakfast first."
Shakira glanced at the dinner plate, her eyes suddenly moved down, and said, "I want to eat something special as an appetizer, maybe this can give me inspiration."
Ronan put down the dinner plate and sat on the wicker chair: "Really? How can I cooperate?"
Shakira raised her eyebrows: "Just sit there."
Ronan was very cooperative. He sat on the wicker chair and did not move, only to see Shakira slipping from the chair to the ground, and then leaning over.
The sun jumped out of the sea, and the surface of the water was dyed red by the rays of sunlight. Ronan let out a long sigh and said, "Shakira, I only discovered one thing now."
Shakira looked up, looking at Ronan curiously because it was inconvenient to speak.
"You don't just have an electric motor on your waist." Ronan told the truth: "You also have an electric motor on your neck."
Shaki tightened her lips, her face filled with laughter.
After a while, she went back to the seat, ate breakfast, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and said, "I have inspiration."
Ronan was curious: "So useful?"
If this works, those singer-songwriters...no, they are beautiful female singer-songwriters.
He was not interested in the others.
Shakira smiled and said: "I was inspired just now and thought of a song." She looked at Ronan: "Do you want me to sing it to you?"
Ronan picked up the water glass and took a sip: "Sing."
Shakira cleared her throat and sang in her unique Xia style: "On the left side of the left leg, the right side of the right leg, there is a big forest, where the little friends are lively and smart, they are naughty and clever, they are looking eagerly A new forest, they care and tolerate each other. Oh... the lovely big forest..."
Ronan can only respond with applause for such a beautiful singing: Shakira is indeed a creative Latin queen!
"Good?" Shakira asked.
Ronan focused his head: "Very good! Shakira, choosing you to sing the ending song is the wisest decision I made on this project."
Shakira added: "We are here for a few days, and I will make you feel more and more that choosing me is the most correct."
Ronan tilted his head: "I'll wait and see."
When he left Baja California and returned to Los Angeles, Ronan made sure that Shakira's skills were the best among all the people he had experienced since he came to Los Angeles.
The thighs are warm.
Everyone else has a clear gap.
And Shakira was very open and told Ronan directly that as long as she was in Los Angeles, Ronan could go to her anytime, even if she got married in the future.
As Ronan returned to Los Angeles, this special relationship was temporarily suspended.
As the time approaches the end of April, various propaganda about "Underworld" is in full swing. Compared with some of the methods used in previous movies, the propaganda plan of this film is quite satisfactory, basically following the usual pattern of Hollywood movies. .
Like zombies, although werewolves and vampires are not popular culture in North America, they also have a considerable audience.
And at the beginning of the propaganda, they shouted out the gimmick to understand the source of werewolves and vampires.
In general, the investment in the film is limited, and the total investment in production and publicity is only 30 million US dollars.
This kind of Gothic films, which are biased towards niche types, wants to be profitable, and must control the budget amount as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the completion of production and publicity goals.
The most optimistic prediction of the marketing department of the Embassy Pictures, the box office of "Underworld" is also the level of "Resident Evil".
Given that the influence of werewolves and vampires outside the Western world is much smaller, even their global box office may be lower than "Resident Evil".
However, the success of "Resident Evil" made the theaters willing to continue to invest resources in the new film of Embassy Pictures, and used 2,950 open painting theaters for "Underworld".
Cinema is a business after all, and its first pursuit is profit.
Although theaters have long passed the age of relying on showing films for profit, and even relying solely on box office revenue will cause serious losses, the amount of passenger traffic brought by films directly determines the sales of popcorn and other products.
In Ronan's previous life, there were hugely popular multi-apartment theaters, which could show a loss of tens of millions, while relying on popcorn alone made a profit of nearly 100 million.
This is not an isolated case, but is becoming more and more common.
At the beginning of the new century, April did not form the concept of a spring file. It is still the traditional off-season of Hollywood movies. Really super-strength movies are rarely released in April, which is also conducive to "Underworld" to get more Cinema resources.
Before the release of "Underworld", another film "Resident Evil" released by Embassy Pictures officially withdrew from the theater market after being screened in North America for ten weeks.
At the beginning of the film’s screening, the market performance was amazing, but it did not jump out of the general trend of game-based movies and zombie movies. It showed a clear high and low. In the next two or three weeks of theater screenings, the number of people in a single show has fallen to less than ten. .
Although the late screening performance was a bit bleak, it did not prevent "Resident Evil" from achieving great success. In just ten weeks of screening, the film earned a total of 78.65 million US dollars in box office in North America.
This is Hollywood's box office performance for a game adaptation movie that is second only to "Tomb Raider", and it is also the highest box office performance for zombie movies in recent years.
Only relying on the North American box office, Ronan can almost recover all the investments in the "Resident Evil" project.
Overseas, the total box office revenue of "Resident Evil" has exceeded 70 million US dollars. When the film hits the island market, the global box office will exceed 150 million US dollars very easily.
In addition to other sources of income, the budget for shooting "Resident Evil 2: Revelations" already has a sufficient source.
This is also Ronan's perfect film production and distribution model. He shoots his first film by means of external financing. Once the first film is successful, the film can be developed in series, and the sequel's budget can be supported by the profit of the first film, so that the sequel can get rid of foreigners. Funds share income to ensure that Relativity Entertainment can maximize profits.
Ronan can't guarantee the success of every film, but this production and distribution model can transfer the risk of the first film with the greatest chance of failure to foreign investors, and the profit of the more profitable sequel film, try to return to his own. Company owned.
Good news came from Scott Swift. The Pacific Film Foundation’s trip to Mumbai, India was very successful and reached financing agreements with four investment institutions including the Mountain Foundation.
In the next five years, these four investment institutions will provide a total of US$280 million in investment to the Pacific Film Foundation. The specific conditions are similar to those reached by the Pacific Film Foundation with the island countries and South Korea.
This also makes Shahai Entertainment's future production budget more abundant. While ensuring the profitability of the sequel, it will launch more new movie projects.
Even the Pacific Film Foundation has spare capacity to invest in other companies' film projects.
After all, many popular movies in Ronan's memory have been firmly held by the six major companies long before he came to Los Angeles.
It is impossible to get copyright from the six major companies, but there is still some hope for participating in investment and sharing some profits.
After returning from Baja California, Ronan went to the Warner Studios to check out the shooting of "Intern Gray" and "Hurricane Rescue". He also took time out to go to the post-production department of the studio's office building to find out who was busy in "White Night Chasing the Murders". "Christopher Nolan in post-production chatted.
"Director Nolan." Ronan said directly: "After listening to you, I always feel that only bigger projects can match your talents."
Christopher Nolan is not even a second-rate director now. Hearing Ronan, a well-known producer, he couldn’t help laughing and saying, “Although I am very confident ~ www.novelhall.com~, I also know that I am just a newcomer in Hollywood. Director, it’s not easy to get a better project."
Ronan nodded lightly, not being too proactive, just casually said: "If you have a suitable project and want to find a partner, you can come to me. If we can reach a cooperation intention, investment is not my problem."
He deliberately said: "My film foundation has just successfully financed, and there is no shortage of funds."
Christopher Nolan said immediately: "If I have a project, I will definitely contact you."
Ronan added: "With your stated concept and style, only large-scale commercial films are suitable for you.
Although Christopher Nolan is still working hard in the independent film industry, he is a commercial director in his bones. He agrees with Ronan's words. Only with ample budget and funds can he set up a stage to display his talents.
But such an opportunity is too rare.
Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Ronan unconsciously.
A producer who agrees with his own ideas may be a good partner.
Ronan did not continue this topic, but opened his office bag, took out an invitation letter, handed it to Christopher Nolan, and said: "My company has a movie to be premiered in a few days, if Nolan director If you have time, you can check it out."
Christopher Nolan took the invitation, saw the name and time of the film above, thought about his work schedule, and said: "Mr. Anderson, it's a great honor to participate in this premiere."
Although I don't know the actual content of the film, a reduced-scale poster of the film is printed on the invitation letter. Seeing the protagonist's black costume and the dark night background, he has an inexplicable like.
Is this a dark wind movie?
