Before the first weekend in November, the Kodak Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was crowded. Many celebrities in the industry were invited to attend the huge premiere held by DreamWorks.
This time the premiere was extraordinary. It was the first time that DreamWorks Animation Studios and DreamWorks were separated and returned to the DreamWorks system.
DreamWorks finally ushered in the situation that Spielberg and Jeff Katzenberg strived to create. DreamWorks animation feature films were produced and distributed entirely by DreamWorks.
The cartoon that will be premiered today is called "The Wandering Mouse Country", which is the animation studio with the highest production budget in the history of DreamWorks Animation Studios. The final production cost was as high as 150 million US dollars.
As an ally of DreamWorks' same line and the former publisher of DreamWorks Animation Studios, Ronan also received a joint invitation from Spielberg and Jeff Katzenberg.
"Welcome, Ronan."
In the front hall of the Kodak Theater, Jeff Katzenberg took the lead to welcome Ronan and hug Ronan: "DreamWorks Animation Studio can have today, and you have helped a lot."
Ronan said politely: "This is too far-fetched. Jeff, mainly because DreamWorks Animation Studio has the strength."
Jeff Katzenberg laughed, his smile especially hearty.
seems to return to DreamWorks, and after reaching a potential balance of power distribution with Spielberg, this animator, who has been resentful since leaving Disney Animation Studios, has gradually calmed down.
Spielberg came up to shake hands with Ronan: "Ronan, it's an honor for DreamWorks to come."
The other party spoke politely, and Ronan would not lack politeness: "Steven, we are partners and allies on the same front. Of course we have to support."
In his early years, Spielberg's impression of Ronan was not good. In the past two years, his views have gradually changed. Although the two sides are not friends, they have never been enemies.
"I have read the first draft script of "Lincoln"." Spielberg mentioned the cooperation between the two sides: "I think it can be a year or two to wait for the equal rights movement..."
Ronan understood what he meant, and knew that this kind of film wanted to make a profit and had to take the route of winning the prize, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
After some consideration, he said, "Steven, I can wait for you to finish "Indiana Jones 4".
Spielberg and George Lucas are about to start working together again, and Indiana Jones is about to return.
"Okay." Spielberg nodded and said, "We will negotiate for details."
Ronan was about to enter the VIP room of the theater. Before leaving, he thought of one thing and said: "Steven, Martin's new film will be premiered some time later. This is Martin's return to the gang theme. You can come to participate if you have time. Premiere."
Spielberg said immediately: "I will definitely go."
The four major Hollywood directors in the 1980s are inextricably linked, and they are very close to each other. There are some things that Ronando needs to say.
As long as Martin Scorsese's film is above the standard, Spielberg will definitely support him.
Once Ronan entered the VIP room, he saw the other three of the four major directors, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Francis Coppola forming a small circle.
"Hi, three." Ronan walked over directly: "What are you talking about? The discussion is very lively."
George Lucas is very familiar with Ronan: "Of course I am happy to meet old friends."
Francis Coppola said: "Ronan, the film you collaborated with Sofia this year is very good."
Ronan said: "If a few support, Sophia might still get an Oscar nomination for best director."
Martin Scorsese said: "Sophia did a great job, and "Juneo" is totally worthy of a best director nomination."
George Lucas said, "Martin, how sure are you this year."
Martin Scorsese did not answer, but looked at Ronan: "For this kind of question, Ronan’s answer is more appropriate."
Ronan couldn't help laughing: "The film will be released soon. As long as you have watched the premiere, you will know that "Infinite Walker" is definitely worth an Oscar for Best Director.
George Lucas smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I am not a member of the academy and I have no voting rights."
This is the truth. The title of "Star Wars" did not meet the directors’ union regulations. George Lucas simply quit the director’s union and automatically lost his membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Since then, he has never return.
Francis Coppola said again at this time: "We must go to the premiere, and we should support Martin."
Martin Scorsese smiled at the two old friends and said directly: "This is my biggest regret."
Ronan didn't say much, and separated from the circle with George Lucas and talked about "Indiana Jones 4".
As we all know, Lucasfilm has two treasure troves-"Star Wars" and Industrial Light & Magic
"Indiana Jones" series can be said to be the third largest treasure house of Lucasfilm.
The influence of Dr. Indiana-Jones, although not comparable to "Star Wars", is also a figure in the history of filming, even affecting a whole generation of fans.
However, the more troublesome thing is that the copyright of the "Indiana Jones" series is shared by Lucasfilm and its distributor, Paramount Pictures.
Ronan has heard a lot about "Indiana Jones 4". For example, Spielberg is really a good godfather. Relativity Entertainment didn't use Shia LaBeouf to star in "Transformers". He stuffed his godson in He served as a supporting actor in the "Indiana Jones 4" crew, which is the son of Indiana Jones.
Its purpose is obvious. After all, Harrison Ford is old and Indiana Jones needs a successor.
If the series can be filmed smoothly, Shia LaBeouf will become the new actor in the "Indiana Jones" series.
It's a pity, this is really the love of Spielberg, who can be called the male version of Lindsay Lohan.
At the end of the conversation with George Lucas, Ronan met many of the main creators of "The Wandering Rat Country".
As a top-notch animation production with an investment of up to 150 million US dollars, the dubbing lineup is also strong enough.
The two main characters in the animation were dubbed by Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman.
Kate Winslet and tonight's male partner Leonardo DiCaprio saw Ronan and came over to say hello.
Ronan looked at Leonardo and said bluntly: "Leo, I haven't seen you for a while, you look a lot fatter."
Leonardo rubbed his face and said, "Maybe I haven't paid much attention to eating and drinking recently."
Kate Winslet smiled and exposed: "He deliberately wanted to be a veritable acting school."
Ronan said nonsense seriously: "Isn't Leo an acting school?"
Leonardo and Kate Winslet both laughed. The two had a good relationship with Ronan, but there was no conflict of interest. They can talk and laugh together.
Ronan saw the two holding hands together and asked half-jokingly: "Kate, Leo, are you together now?"
"No." Kate Winslet denied: "I and Leo have always been good friends."
Ronan sighed deliberately: "The biggest regret of watching "Titanic" was that Jack and Ruth couldn't get together."
Leonardo said: "The regret in the movie is hard to make up for outside the movie."
Ronan nodded: "Yes." He saw Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and pointed to them: "I won't disturb you."
When he walked over there, Ronan turned his head and took a look. Leon Ando is wide and fat, and Kate Winslet is getting richer and richer. The two should really get together.
The most romantic thing in this world, isn’t you fat and me fat too?
"When did you come?" Tom Cruise asked Ronan.
"It's been a while." Ronan said casually, "Talk to George Lucas and Leonardo for a while."
Will Smith said, "Ronan, you should come to my carnival party."
Tom Cruise deliberately tilted his head to look at Will Smith: "You guy, are you really not scared at all?"
"What are you afraid of?" Will Smith plausibly said: "All the female guests I invited have the latest inspection certificate."
He lowered his voice: "You don't want to think about it. With the current atmosphere in the circle, those people still want to do business and release the resources in their hands. They must reassure customers. This time is actually the safest."
Tom Cruise was directly defeated by Will Smith’s fallacies: "You are still great You can’t admire it."
Will Smith turned to Ronan and asked: "You won't be scared, will you?"
"It won't be scared." Ronan appeared very calm: "But the body is his own, so you can't take risks in this regard. After all, one hit will be over."
Tom Cruise was surprised: "Your thoughts seem to have changed?"
Ronan patted Will Smith on the shoulder next to him: “At St. Mary’s Hospital, one of my best friends was frightened and collapsed on the sofa. I’m right in front of me. Do you think I’m going to feel nothing?”
Will Smith quickly denied: "Where am I scared?"
Ronan smiled, not arguing with Will Smith on this kind of issue, just said: "Anyway, I have been a bit messy in my head lately. I need to think about many issues."
Tom Cruise immediately grasped the key point in Ronan’s words: "I understand. Ronan, do you want to take your heart out?"
Will Smith put his arm around Ronan's shoulders: "No? My brother! Are you going to give up a whole forest for a tree? I can't think of it!"
Ronan did not deny: "So, I have to think about it seriously."
Tom Cruise said: "A person who has escaped from the marriage cage reminds you not to walk in easily."
Ronan smiled: "I understand." He didn't want to be entangled in this topic anymore, and proposed: "Let's go, let's go into the main hall and watch the movie."
