Returning to Los Angeles from New York, Ronan accepted Harvey Weinstein's invitation to participate in the premiere of "Sin City" produced by Emperor Gate Pictures.
This very special style film once left a deep impression on Ronan.
Especially female characters.
Such as Jessica Alba and Eva Green.
The former’s hip-throwing dance made her famous, and the latter’s almost naked image is a model of femme fatale.
However, once Eva Green was the role that appeared in the sequel.
The most watched actress at the premiere was Jessica Alba.
As for the fashion circle of Galeries Lafayette, Davin Aoki, Ronan ignored him.
"This can only say that my aesthetics are very normal."
In the VIP room of the theater, Ronan said to Connie who was next to him: "There is no distortion."
Having been with Ronan for so many years, Connie understands the boss’s personality and occasionally makes a few innocent jokes: “Davin Aoki is a popular supermodel in the fashion circle. Karl Lagerfeld thinks she has a kind that ordinary people can’t match. High-end beauty."
Ronan asked, "I'd better keep the aesthetics at the low end."
Connie couldn't help laughing.
Ronan saw the dressed-up Jessica Alba walking towards him and said, "Look, this is a beauty recognized by the public."
Jessica Alba came to Ronan with a smile and said hello: "Good evening, Ronan."
Ronan shook hands gently with her: "Hello, Jesse, you are so beautiful tonight."
"Thank you." Jessica Alba smiled brighter.
She didn't care about the eyes projected from her surroundings, and spoke to Ronan enthusiastically.
Nobody in the circle now knows that she is cooperating with Ronan and starred in James Cameron's big project.
"The modeling work of the heroine is basically completed." Jessica Alba simply said of the situation on the Wellington crew: "But I don't know when the filming will start. I guess it will be next year at the earliest. in."
Ronan said, "God bless you to start shooting in the middle of next year."
There is too much preparation for this film. James Cameron is a person who strives for perfection. If he is not fully prepared, he will definitely not start shooting.
It is said that during the filming of "Titanic", because the tableware prepared by the crew did not have the words "Titanic" engraved on the tableware, James Cameron interrupted the shooting and asked the crew to go back to the porcelain factory to order. Making new tableware caused the crew to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The head of the twentieth century Fox on the crew quarreled directly with James Cameron on the set.
James Cameron was able to abandon Twentieth Century Fox and instead cooperated with Ronan. The actions of Twentieth Century Fox during the filming of "Titanic" played a key role.
"Do you have time tomorrow?" Jessica Alba asked suddenly: "My brother's girlfriend is going to come to my house as a guest. I'm going to hold a big party. Can you come?"
If it were a few years ago, Ronan would definitely agree to Jessica Alba’s invitation, but now he can only decline: "Sorry, I have a lot of things here, I'm afraid I don't have time."
Jessica Alba said, "It's okay."
She immediately said goodbye. When she shook hands with Ronan, she didn't know if it was accidental, and her little finger lightly swiped from Ronan's palm.
Ronan didn't seem to notice it, and he was a gentleman.
Having said that, there are some things that you really can't take risks, and you'd rather believe that they are not.
Otherwise, if you get caught, you won't be able to cry.
Connie reminded: "Director Rodriguez is here."
Ronan also saw that Robert Rodriguez, the director of "Sin City", was walking over him.
"Good evening, Ronan." Robert Rodriguez, as the director of the film, was as enthusiastic as the owner: "It is our honor that you can come to the premiere."
Ronan smiled and shook hands with him: "You don't need to be so polite. I came here this time, and I have the purpose of learning."
Robert Rodriguez was puzzled: "Where does this start?"
Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment Investment adapted and filmed another work by Frank Miller, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan", which is in the same vein as "Sin City" in terms of the original style."
"Yes, I remember it." Robert Rodriguez said with a smile: "I originally thought about this work, but unfortunately I asked you to do it first."
Ronan took the opportunity to say: "It doesn't matter, without "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", we can also cooperate on other film projects."
Robert Rodriguez certainly wouldn't refuse, saying: "It may take a while before I can talk to Ronan about cooperation." He bluntly said: "Quentin and I are preparing to make a mill movie."
The so-called "mill movies" refers to the fact that some cinemas in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s were in disrepair and had to show small-production B-level movies with selling points such as blood and gore. This type of film reached its peak in the early 1980s.
Although these kinds of movies are synonymous with shoddy, they have a large audience in North America, especially in the offline rental market.
Ronan is no stranger to this, because he took over the previous Shahai Entertainment, in fact, specifically shooting the mill movie released in the video tape market.
"Although the mill movie is a product of the last century." Ronan said to Robert Rodriguez, "but I think there is a lot to be done in the DVD market. Shahai Entertainment actually started with filming the mill movie, and we can Find the basis for cooperation..."
It seems that after 2010, Robert Rodriguez filmed the "Machete" trilogy with a very distinctive Hollywood actor.
Connie then quietly reminded Ronan.
Harvey Weinstein's voice came over: "Ronan, how can you dig a wall at the premiere of Emperor Gate Pictures?"
Ronan replied: "I'm discussing the Mill Movie with Robert."
Harvey Weinstein smiled and shook hands with Ronan. In fact, he did not value Robert Rodriguez as much as Quentin Tarantino, and it was just a joke just now.
"You are welcome to come to the premiere." Harvey Weinstein looked particularly enthusiastic: "Thank you for your support."
Ronan said, "Harvey, we are old friends, you are welcome."
Robert Rodriguez saw that Harvey Weinstein and Ronan had something to say, and left here in due course.
Ronan asked, "How is the new company?"
"The registration has been completed." Harvey-Weinstein said: "The deal we have reached provides me with sufficient funds. Although a lot of funds still need to be resolved by financing, Bob and I can guarantee that we have enough shares. Achieve true control of the new company."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Congratulations."
Harvey Weinstein smiled with a truly relaxed smile: "The darkest time has finally passed, and the day...lights."
Ronan couldn't help laughing: "The "Queen" project has been negotiated?"
"It's settled." Harvey Weinstein said: "After you quit, they have no better choice but to cooperate with me."
He invited: "Ronan, are you really not taking a share in my new company?"
Lorna shook her head: "Forget it, Harvey, many of my habits will cause conflicts in company management. Besides, aren't we cooperating on distribution?"
With the conclusion of the deal between Relativity Entertainment and the Weinstein Brothers, the Weinstein Brothers’ newly established Weinstein Pictures will be handed over to Embassy Pictures for a long period of time in the future.
"I heard that you were going around in New York some time ago to help Roy Disney lobby?" Harvey Weinstein asked tentatively: "Are you planning to support Roy Disney?"
Ronan said very seriously: "Yes, Michael Eisner once embarrassed Relativity Entertainment on "Pirates of the Caribbean." Roy Disney also promised that as long as Michael Eisner steps down, Disney will fully support Relativity Entertainment. Enter MPAA."
Harvey Weinstein said: "Yes, no one likes the tyrant Michael Eisner."
Ronan smiled and said: "Relativistic Entertainment is also a small shareholder of Disney. Only a stable development of Disney is in line with the interests of Relativity Entertainment."
Harvey Weinstein said: "I really want to see Michael Eisner's face when he steps down."
Ronan laughed: "There will be a chance, Harvey, wait patiently, but only a few months."
Harvey Weinstein nodded, Ronan's attitude is very clear, Roy Disney should be relieved.
Thinking about how to talk to Roy Disney on the phone after the premiere, Harvey Weinstein said to Ronan: "In the future, we may compete for the Oscars."
Ronan said, "This is inevitable."
Harvey Weinstein knew that after leaving Disney, he couldn't afford Ronan even more, and said: "Ronan, I can guarantee that no matter how fierce the competition is, he will stay in the normal business category."
He didn't want to break up his good relationship with Ronan because of some rumors.
Ronan said, "I can guarantee this."
The two laughed at the same time In the short term, Relativity Entertainment and Weinstein Pictures will be partners.
As for the longer time, business matters will change with the market and time. Who can guarantee who will be an ally forever?
Harvey-Weinstein looked at a place in the VIP room at this time and invited: "Ronan, introduce someone to you. The investor of the new company is also a major shareholder."
Ronan asked curiously: "Do I know him?"
"I don't know it." Harvey Weinstein led him towards the other side: "He is a newcomer to the Hollywood movie circle."
Ronan thought it would be the beach boyfriend of Miss Lizao, but after seeing people, he was somewhat surprised.
The other party is very young, younger than him.
Harvey Weinstein made an introduction right away: "Ronan, this is David Ellison."
