After listening to these words, Ronan's eyes returned to the script. Things related to Diana have always been selling points.
Andy Harris is still promoting: "During the preparation of the script, Peter Morgan and I had a lot of little-known inside stories, but he and I swear that we will not make them public. Therefore, the film’s The purpose is not to challenge anyone."
Ronan said: "There are many biographies about the royal family and that, some of which are not suitable for appearing in movies."
"This is by no means a satirical film aimed at the royal family." Andy Harris promised: "The script has obvious manifestations. There is no immorality or slander in the design of Pete Morgan and I."
He organized the language a little bit: "The story of Diana and the Queen attracted me because the young princess challenged the authority of the monarch with a long history, and when she was killed, the royal family kept an amazing silence. At first, the royal family No one knows how to react, but quickly expressed grief. However, all this makes people doubt whether this emotion is true or not? Is this emotion the same as that of the public?"
Ronan did not make a decision, because his relationship with William has always been good, which must be considered.
But the nature of the businessman made him reluctant to give up when faced with such a movie project of great value in the future.
Ronan still thought about Andy Harris' more plans, and asked: "For such a movie, we must be careful."
Andy Harris said: "The queen's life has been dedicated to this country. She should not be blamed. The only thing that should be blamed is the public and our desire to point fingers at things we don't understand."
He further emphasized: "The theme of the film is actually the dispute between the old and the new world. This is a story about ending tradition. Creating a movie about the queen is like making a movie about your own mother. In the UK, the queen is really A symbol of the national mother, so I don’t want, nor can there be any prejudice and indiscretion, and all prejudice and negative influence must be eliminated."
Ronan closed the script and asked the key: "Have you made a budget?"
Andy Harris said: "It may require more than $20 million in production investment." This is where he is worried, and quickly said: "As long as the subject matter of Diana and the royal family is filmed, recovery of investment is definitely not a problem."
Ronan knew this very well.
As a material for the story, Diana’s death provides too much creative space: a terrible car accident chased by a ruthless paparazzi; a celebrity’s untimely death; a controversial love dying prematurely before it is complete; and a famous woman The media responsible for the cause of death have been criticized and so on.
Since the car accident in 1997, countless people have been giving away Diana's dead wealth.
Ronan slowly nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Harris, I will accept your script first. I have to consider the specific situation of the project. Yes, leave me your contact information."
Andy Harris hurriedly sent his business card, still adding weight to himself: "Ms. Helen Mirren, has agreed to play the queen." In consideration of possible negotiations later, he added: "Harvey of Miramax -Mr. Weinstein is also very interested in this project."
Harvey Weinstein? Ronan frowned slightly.
This fat guy suddenly appeared in London, is it because of Andy Harris' project?
Ronan is not very worried about Harvey Weinstein. If it is really a competition, Weinstein, who is almost out of control of Milan Max, has no competitiveness in the face of Relativity Entertainment.
Helen Mirren’s words are a plus.
I remember that this movie was starring Helen Mirren.
Moreover, the actress is very topical, and it is easier to attract people's attention than ordinary British actors.
Helen Mirren is even known as a symbol of **** England.
No matter when he was young, or now that he is old, Helen Mirren never cared about being naked in movies, even on a huge scale.
For example, Helen Mirren once starred in the famous "The Roman Empire".
She has performed naked on the screen many times and doesn't mind being watched.
Nowadays, even if he is nearly sixty years old, he is still fully exposed on the screen.
Once a serious photo leak broke out in Hollywood, there was a lot of noise. Helen Mirren, the Oscar queen, half-jokingly said in an interview with the media: "My phone was not hacked. I feel humiliated."
It can be said that this is a female celebrity who has quite a personality, is also quite capable of making, and daring to make topics and arguments.
Ronan didn't express anything special about Andy Harris' words, and shook hands with Andy Harris, and took Anne Hathaway directly back to the room.
In the suite, Anne Hathaway kicked off her high heels, took off Ronan's coat, hung it on the hanger, and asked, "This project..."
Ronan smiled: "There is room for market operation, but it is also prone to controversy."
Anne Hathaway said: "Are you still afraid of controversy?"
"I don't care about controversy." Ronan sat on the sofa and said: "I have a good relationship with William. William helped a lot when acquiring Manchester United. From William's perspective, I definitely don't want to see such a film. Come out, continue to consume Diana and the royal family."
Anne Hathaway thought for a while, and said, "If it's me, I wouldn't like to see a movie that frequently talks about my family."
Ronan said: "Such a film, as long as it works well, can benefit a lot in the short term, but for long-term development..."
Having said that, he shook his head.
Today's British royal family, because of the Blair government, can be described as precarious, but just as the FA showed when Ronan and the Abu Dhabi consortium compete for Manchester United, no one can ignore the influence of the Windsor family.
"Then..." Anne Hathaway asked: "Abandon this project?"
Ronan said, "I'll think about it."
Anne Hathaway came over and sat next to Ronan: "Okay, don't think about these annoying things. I will leave London tomorrow. Let's hurry up and do something happy. I'm preparing a new show tonight."
"Oh?" Ronan became interested.
Anne Hathaway returned to the room and fetched a pair of delicate cat ears: "I bought these at the adult store when you were working. It is said that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston When I come to London, I will go to that store to buy handcuffs..."
That night, Anne Hathaway fully interprets what it means "Catwoman will never be a slave unless she provides food and shelter."
Early the next morning, Ronan asked Anne Hathaway to go to the airport. Anne Hathaway was going to return to Venice to attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the film festival.
"Brokeback Mountain" directed by Ang Lee was well received at this Venice Film Festival. Coupled with the promotion of Embassy Pictures, "Brokeback Mountain" has become the biggest hot candidate for the Golden Lion Award.
Ronan took the time to go to the hospital in the morning to visit the injured Robben.
In terms of logistical support, the Manchester United club has always done a good job. After Ronan entered the club, he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of player health.
Robben has done an MRI, and the injured part is quite troublesome, the meniscus of his right leg.
This is a part where professional athletes are often injured and very difficult to heal.
Moreover, many players' careers are destroyed by meniscus injuries.
"Aryan, you are an indispensable member of Manchester United."
In the ward, Ronan said to Robben on the bed: "I have contacted the world's top experts."
Robben said in a little bit of English: "Thank you, I will be back."
Ronan shook his hand and said, "All of us will wait for you to come back."
Without disturbing Robben's rest too much, Ronan only stayed for ten minutes before leaving Robben's ward.
Robben's injury is a big loss for Manchester United, but Manchester United is not available to no one. Iniesta can also play this position.
As for Leo Messi, when Ronan communicated with Ferguson, the old Scottish man made it clear that Messi still needs time to adapt to the Premier League.
And he is too young, too much playing professional games is also a kind of injury.
Ferguson has also seen Messi's talent and will continue to give him playing time later, but he also declared to Ronan that it will mainly focus on unimportant events such as the League Cup and the FA Cup.
Football clubs have reached the level of Manchester United, and it is inevitable that there will be huge pressure on results. Young players must be cautious in their use.
Compared to Mourinho of Chelsea, Ferguson has done a good job of training young players.
Messi also needs to prove himself to Manchester United and it takes time to cash in on his talent.
Came to Manchester from La Masia Film and Television Academy and replaced a new growth environment. No one can guarantee Messi's future achievements.
In the afternoon, Ronan’s business jet directly sent Robben to Berlin, Germany. A top sports physiotherapy team in the world was waiting for Robben in Berlin.
Ronan also hopes that Robben will be the Peter Pan when he returns .
But he also knows that if Robben doesn't change his playing style, such injuries will happen in the future.
After Manchester United's victory over Chelsea, they firmly ranked first in the standings and have been leading the way since the beginning of the season.
In the evening, good news came from Venice. At the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, Ang Lee and Brokeback Mountain became the biggest winners, winning the Golden Lion Award in one fell swoop!
Although there are no other awards to worry about, a Golden Lion award completely achieved the purpose of this trip.
This will also be the beginning of "Brokeback Mountain" and Ang Lee's impact on next year's Oscars.
The crew of "Brokeback Mountain" will not stop, after attending the Venice Film Festival, they will immediately rush to Canada to attend the Toronto Film Festival.
After all, North America is the final battlefield.
Ronan did not leave the UK for the time being, but had an interview with Harvey Weinstein.
