Chapter 933： Sword to the End of the World

The latest website: The Cannes Film Festival will soon have the results of the awards. A film that Ronan has never heard of, "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" won this year's Palme d'Or.

And under the insistence of the King of Sunglasses, this year's Cannes Film Festival also appeared super spectacle.

According to the results announced at the awards ceremony, there are a total of five film kings and six queens in this Cannes Film Festival!

Looking at the A-level film festivals all over the world, this is a wonder.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the style of the king of sunglasses, and what he did is absolutely unexpected.

At the same time, this also greatly reduces the gold content of each actor and queen.

It is said that the jury was the same as Quentin Tarantino as the chairman of the jury. In the final selection meeting, many judges and the King of Sunglasses quarreled fiercely, but the judging mechanism of the three major European film festivals determined the jury. The chairman holds great power.

This directly led to the division of the jury. When the closing ceremony and awards ceremony were held, there was a shocking scene. The jury members who were supposed to be the protagonists were late for a full 15 minutes.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith naturally missed any performance awards.

However, the jury still gave Martin Scorsese a lot of face, and "The Infinite Walker" won the jury award.

This is a veritable consolation prize, because there are also Palme d’Or and the jury award.

The film festival ended successfully in a "multi-win" situation. The King of Sunglasses built a "Harmonious Film Festival" through the multi-win strategy of award-winning works in an elegant and beautiful manner, gentle and light wrist.

Perhaps, the 59th Cannes Film Festival itself is a realistic film directed by the King of Sunglasses.

In Los Angeles, Robert Iger quickly formed an inspection team, rushed to France to meet Carmen Case, and then went to Estonia for related inspections.

As for Carmen Case, Ronan will certainly not go back, and can only be treated as an old friend who may cooperate.

What happened back then, Ronan will not regret since he made a choice.

It is estimated that many men have similar ideas.

After 20 years of sharpening the sword, who doesn't want to wade the sword to walk the world, step across the mountains and plains, cross the valleys and rivers, to taste the beautiful flowers of the world?

How many men are willing to walk out of the house excitedly and fall down before reaching the entrance of the village? Then go home obediently, marry a wife and have children...

Mr. Jin on the other side of the Pacific also said: Man, you have to go with the sword!

Who didn't know that the originator of Dongfang Jacksu took seven wives?

Back in Los Angeles, Ronan took the time to go to the newly established Princess Animation Studio. At present, the studio is still recruiting people from all over the world with Chris Buck's team as the core.

Ronan does not have high requirements for the Princess Animation Studio in the short term, at least he must have the ability to produce two animated feature films at the same time.

It’s not enough to rely on Chris Barker’s team, but they are the cornerstone of the Princess Animation Studio.

Ronan just checked the progress of the work, did not say much, and will not arrange a specific animated feature film for the time being.

In addition to improving the staff, Princess Animation Studio also needs to carry out technical coordination. Pixar Studio provides the world's most outstanding animation production equipment and software, and a technical team led by John Lasseter is responsible for the Princess Animation Studio Technical training matters.

According to Ronan's proposal, after these tasks are completed, the Princess Animation Studio will use Andersen's fairy tale "Snow Queen" as a template to adapt an animated short film for practice.

This princess movie will definitely not be the old princess movie of Disney Animation Studios.

Specifically, we have to wait for Princess Animation Studio to stabilize.

Ronan didn't stay longer in the Princess Animation Studio. After a few conversations with Chris Buck and John Lasseter, he went to the floor where the post-production studio was located.

Due to the serious aging of various equipment at Warner Studios, Christopher Nolan chose the Theory of Relativity Building to complete the post-production of The Dark Knight.

This is also generating revenue for Relativity Entertainment. The "Dark Knight" crew rents a post-production studio, which requires payment.

Ronan had just got out of the elevator and saw Heath Ledger head on.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." Heath Ledger greeted him actively.

Ronan shook his hand and said, "Why do you have time to come over today?"

Heath Ledger said: "There are several segments that need to be dubbed."

Ronan nodded slightly and praised: "I watched some of the clips you took. It was excellent. You contributed an outstanding performance."

Heath Ledger smiled: "Thank you."

Ronan patted his arm lightly and said, "The clown is just a fictional character. His madness is because of the protagonist's halo bonus."

Heath Ledger thought Ronan would be preaching like he did in the "Brokeback Mountain" crew, and immediately said: "Mr. Anderson, I won't take up your precious time. I'll talk another day."

Ronan didn't say much, "Goodbye."

Connie, who followed Ronan, watched Heath Ledger leave, probably because she was used to thinking from Ronan's standpoint, and felt that this young actor was rude.

"What's wrong?" Ronan noticed that Connie was looking at Heath Ledger's back with strange eyes.

Connie said directly: "This person is a little proud."

Ronan didn't take it seriously: "Talented people are always a little arrogant."

He should have heard Ronan and Heath Ledger talking. The door of a nearby office opened and Christopher Nolan came out to say hello: "Hi, Ronan. I just heard the voice and thought it was you..."

Ronan walked towards him: "I met Heath Ledger, and talked a few words."

Christopher Nolan invited Ronan and Connie into the office and said: "There are a few episodes that were not well recorded on site. Heath Ledger came to record today. This is his final job in the production stage."

Ronan understood the meaning of these words: "Apart from propaganda, has Heath Ledger's work on the crew been completed?"

Christopher Nolan answered: "Heath Ledger has already started a new job. He has taken over two new films, one is Weinstein Pictures' "I'm Not There", a music album theme. The other seems to be The details of Sony Entertainment’s project are not very clear..."

Ronan said: "His career is going well now."

With a new job and new role, it shows that Heath Ledger has come out of the role of the clown, perhaps he has already come out.

Ronan turned to ask, "How is "The Dark Knight" going on?"

Christopher Nolan replied: "Post-production has just begun and Hans Zimmer has agreed to continue to score the film. Many post-production tasks are in the first stage. It is expected that all productions will not be completed until the end of the year at the earliest."

Ronan said: "Don't worry, the film will be released next year in the summer season. There is plenty of time."

"Warner Bros. is a bit worried." Christopher Nolan said: "Charles Rowan has asked me several times."

He looked at Ronan: "It should be related to the success of "Iron Man" and the failure of "Superman Returns". I got relevant news that Warner Bros. is preparing to overthrow "Batman" and "Watchmen", all other DC super The Hero Movie Project is preparing to build the Justice League movie universe like Marvel Entertainment."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Actually, they want to do more articles in the "Batman" series."

Christopher Nolan asked slightly surprised: "What do Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to do?"

This is directly related to himself, so he has to care.

Ronan revealed a little bit: "Charles Rowan talked to me some time ago and hoped that Shahai Entertainment would withdraw from the third part of the series "The Dark Knight Rises" and be filmed solely by Warner Bros."

Christopher Nolan frowned: "Aren't they breaking the agreement? I won't agree! Ronan, you know, I will always be on your side, if..."

Ronan raised his hand and interrupted Christopher Nolan's words: "Chris, this involves the commercial competition between the two companies. You should not participate in this series. You do this according to your plan, and you don’t have to worry about me and Relativity Entertainment. ."

"I..." Christopher Nolan was suddenly moved: "My strength is limited, and may not be able to help you much. But Ronan, as long as you need it, even if you speak, I will always be on your side."

Ronan smiled and said: "I know, don't worry, even if Shahai Entertainment quits, Warner Bros. will pay a certain price."

Christopher Nolan contacted this month's movie: "Does the success of "Iron Man" and the failure of "Superman Returns" make the relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. very subtle?"

Ronan said: "This little problem can be handled by Relativity Entertainment."

The box office of "Superman Returns" is too far from what Warner Bros. expected. After just sitting on the top spot of the North American box office for a week, the box office fell to 21.01 million US dollars the following weekend. "Taking away the first position.

Even if the latter’s first week of box office of 25.72 million US dollars, relative to the investment of 135 million US dollars, it can be called Dapujie.

This weekend, "Iron Man" crossed the US$300 million mark at the North American box office, reaching a total of US$311.01 million.

According to the trend since its release, the North American box office of the film exceeded 350 million US dollars without any difficulty.

The overseas response is still worse than in North America, but the cumulative overseas box office has reached nearly 180 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars in a few days.

"Iron Man" was also smoothly released on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean. At present, the box office has accumulated 57.2 million soft sister coins. It takes a little luck if the box office exceeds 100 million.

However, the pirated peripheral products related to it have been raging over there.

According to the statistics of the Eastern Branch of Embassy Pictures, there are only gun versions on the Internet, with more than five versions.

No way, this kind of thing is really not something that Relativity Entertainment can solve.

Ronan, who has had personal experience, knows best that there is no way to unite Hollywood.

The two discussed Warner Bros’s Justice League Cinematic Universe project for a while, and Christopher Nolan suddenly said: “By the way, Ronan, the first draft of the script for the new project I told you last time has been completed.”
