Chapter 777： Consecutive championships

On the way back to send Jessica Felton, Ronan said: "Twentieth Century Fox must have made a mistake." He glanced at Jessica Felton who was sitting next to him, and asked, "They did. What is the biggest mistake?"

Jessica Felton did not answer, but asked, "What do you think?"

Ronan smiled: "Jesse, I want to hear your opinion."

Jessica Felton is a smart woman, and it is clear that Ronan must have a purpose in inviting her to watch such a movie, but it is definitely not the purpose of having **** between men and women.

"I personally think that the biggest mistake of the twentieth century Fox was not the rumored re-editing of Ridley Scott's director's cut version." Jessica Felton said very seriously: "It should not be allowed The producer leads another team to do the editing."

Ronan nodded slowly, this is also his opinion.

Jessica Felton continued: "The person who knows this project best is definitely the director Ridley Scott. Twentieth Century Fox shortened "The Kings of Heaven" for commercial and audience tolerance considerations. "The length of the film is not wrong. But they should let the person who knows the film best, the director Ridley Scott himself, to lead the second editing work, so the film may not be what it is now."

Ronan fully agrees: "If Ridley Scott does it, "The Kingdom of Heaven" should be able to guarantee the most basic fluency and plot logic."

Jessica Felton said casually: "It seems we have a good understanding."

Ronan laughed: "Our ideas at work are getting closer."

In fact, Relativity Entertainment has also encountered similar situations, such as Gilmour del Toro’s "Hellboy", but Ronan is dissatisfied with the edited version submitted by the director, and will fight it back. The director will again according to his request. Edit.

The producer is more in control of the overall situation. For the film itself, the director often knows best.

"Hellboy" exceeded US$80 million in North America and the box office reached US$200 million worldwide, which also proved its feasibility.

The car stopped in front of Jessica Felton’s single-family villa. Jessica Felton pushed the door and got out of the car. He turned around and said: "It’s getting late, and the house is a bit messy. I won’t I invite you in and sit down."

Ronan thought of the super horror scene when he saw Jessica Felton for the first time. He didn't have any thoughts of going in. He just exhorted: "If you look for a few hours to clean, a woman will still have to go. Be more refined."

Jessica Felton waved his hand: "I see, I have a housekeeping company that specializes in cooperation."

"Good night." She said to Ronan again.

Ronan waved to Jessica Felton: "Good night."

Waiting until Jessica Felton entered the villa, Ronan said to the driver David: "Go back to the manor."

Going back home, because this weekend, "The Kingdom of Heaven" will form a direct competition with "The Bourne Shadows 3". Ronan specially took a look at the word-of-mouth information about "The Kingdom of Heaven".

The response to the release version of 　　 was very bad. Many people commented that the plot was very abrupt. They always felt that the plot was jumpy. After watching it for more than an hour, they didn’t understand what was said.

This is obviously a consequence of editing.

In addition to the plot, Orlando Bloom has received numerous negative reviews.

"The acting skills of the fairy prince are really terrible."

Not to mention anything else, in terms of audience reputation alone, the gap between "Kingdom of Heaven" and "The Bourne Shadow 3" is too big, and it is not a movie of the same grade.

The most intuitive reflection of the market's response is undoubtedly the live score of the theater audience. The average score of "The Bourne Shadow 3" is A+, while "The Kingdom of Heaven" only has C.

This difference is directly reflected in the box office.

"The Kingdom of Heaven" North America opened three days in the weekend, only 17.95 million US dollars in revenue, compared to the film's investment and the scale of release, it is undoubtedly a dumb gun.

However, the summer vacation has just begun, and there are not many really super competitive films on the market, and "Kings of Heaven" is easily ranked second in the North American box office chart.

This week's North American box office champion was successfully defended by "The Bournemouth 3".

Thanks to its good reputation, this spy action movie has a very stable trend. On the second weekend of its release in North America, it took another $42.77 million and won the box office list.

Adding to the box office revenue of the previous four working days, "The Bourne Shadow 3" was released in North America ten days after the box office totaled $151.28 million.

As the film has appeared in more overseas markets, the global box office has now successfully exceeded the 300 million dollar mark.

As the concluding work of the trilogy, the sensational effect and market response caused by "The Bournegro 3" obviously surpassed the previous two.

In contrast, "The Kingdom of Heaven" became the first box office tragedy in the summer of 2005.

The first box office tragedy occurred, can the second one be far away?

DreamWorks and Spielberg have sent invitations to the premiere of "Escape from the Clone Island" to send people to Relativity Entertainment.

In any case, Relativity Entertainment is currently on the united front with DreamWorks, and Ronan is also eyeing Michael Bay. He has been waiting for "Escape from the Clone Island" to be released, so he agreed to Spielberg's premiere without hesitation. Ying invitation.

As the market response of Easy-Going "The Bournemouth 3" became more enthusiastic, Netflix's CEO Mark Randolph specifically called Ronan and asked if the "Bourneaux" series had been dramatized and streamed on Netflix. The possibility of exclusive broadcasting on the media platform.

This is indeed a way to continue the development of the "Bourne Bourne" series. Ronan did not refuse, but he clearly stated that it would not be appropriate in the short term.

After all, the movie trilogy has just finished, and the related reactions need time to ferment, and the emotional effect also needs time to brew.

"The Bournemouth 3" created an almost perfect ending for the series, which is not suitable for further development for the time being.

The media almost praised "The Bournemouth 3".

"As the end of the classic series, it still succeeds in continuing the outstanding style of this series. Concise dialogue, solid and reliable performance, gorgeous editing and original sound. Whether it is the process or the end, it is always exciting."

Jason Byrne retired, but is still alive. He lives at the end of the movie and in the hearts of fans. As long as the time is right, he can come back again.

Hollywood does not have a movie series that ends forever, only a movie series that ends without profit.

With the great success of the Bourne Shadow series, director Paul Greengrass found the investment producer for his new project "Bloody Sunday" as quickly as possible.

The Red Bus Film Company from the United Kingdom took advantage of the huge heat caused by "The Bournemouth 3" and jointly convened a press conference in London with Paul Greengrass, announcing that the two parties would cooperate in the filming of "Bloody Sunday."

The Bourne Vendor series has brought sufficient capital to Paul Greengrass, and Paul Greengrass is no longer a young director that nobody cares about before, even though Ronan has no interest in "Bloody Sunday", this project It is not difficult to find a partner.

Newcomer directors and famous directors have never been a kind of director.

Change to the new director, it is too difficult to find investment in this project.

The cooperation between Matt Damon and Relativity Entertainment has also come to an end temporarily. From the first appearance of "Mind Catcher", to the commercial production of "Saving Private Ryan", and then to the peak of the Bourne Shadow series, Matt Damon Meng finally became cute.

This is an actor who looks very simple, but is actually very smart, and very good at dealing with human relations.

At least Ronan has a very good impression of him, and he highly recognizes his market appeal and commercial value. If there are opportunities in the future, Relativity Entertainment will definitely continue to cooperate with Matt Damon.

Ronan prefers Matt Damon to the bullish Ben Affleck.

Of course, "The Bournemouth 3" is not to everyone's liking. In fact, there are a large number of people criticizing the camera crew used for Parkinson's disease.

At the beginning of the new week, Ronan needs to stay in North America to participate in the premiere of "Escape from the Island" by DreamWorks. He has no time to travel to Europe to watch the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals this season.

Two semi-finals were held in Eindhoven and London.

The first place to enter the final of the Istanbul Olympic Stadium, was the first to be taken by AC Milan.

Even though they defeated AC Milan 3-1 at home, PSV was eliminated due to a few away goals.

Then, the second leg of the second semi-final kicked off at Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea.

After a period of adjustment, Mourinho showed his own magic power. The Chelsea team, which was originally turbulent inside, was once again formed into a whole by him. Not only did he win consecutive games in the recent Premier League Just 5 points behind Manchester United, this game shows a strong combat effectiveness.

Less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored the goal and scored the second goal before the end of the first half.

2 to 0 at home, the total score tied to 2 to 4, which allowed Chelsea to see the hope of a comeback.

But Chelsea are facing Manchester United!

is not Manchester United who has become a second-rate Premier League after more than a decade, but Ferguson's Manchester United!

It is very difficult to defeat Ferguson's Manchester United.

During the intermission, the power of the Ferguson brand hair dryer was turned on to the maximum, Manchester United returned to normal in the second half, and the real Manchester United team returned.

After all, this is a Manchester United with Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alonso, Rooney, Alphabet Luo and Drogba.

In the second half, Manchester United turned against the guest, completely suppressed Mourinho's Chelsea, and quickly moved back to the goal by Alphabet Luo.

Chelsea was forced into a desperate situation, Mourinho began to fight frantically, including Terry who topped the front as the center, Chelsea once had five strikers on the field.

But the result of the fight was that Robben succeeded in the Manchester United counter attack!

In the end, the two sides tied 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United successfully entered Istanbul!
