Chapter 365 Legend of the Night

Just like "Resident Evil", the premiere of "Legend of Night" is not large. Except for Will Smith, who came to cheer, there were no heavyweight guests. The premiere star promotion points mainly revolve around the heroine Kate Beckinsale.

When Kate Beckinsale led the game in a nude sequin dress, it immediately became the focus of the audience.

In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, Ronan praised Kate Beckinsale without hesitation.

"From the beginning, we planned to design a gritty heroine and be trapped in internal conflicts from beginning to end."

Facing the reporter's microphone and camera, Ronan looked at Kate Beckinsale standing next to him and said: "Kate has been my top candidate from beginning to end. For the crew and me, Kate's role is simply refreshing!"

Kate Beckinsale kept standing by and laughing, as if the repeated tug-of-warming saws were not present when both sides contacted.

Ronan continued to tell reporters: "Before The Legend of the Night, you probably never imagined Kate Beckinsale putting on vampire teeth and running with a gun. Now, all this is full of expectations."

Kate Beckinsale cooperated very well and said at the right time: "The character looks very cool and interesting. At that time, I thought, 'Ah, it's really good.' So I started reading the script, which is different from ordinary comic books. Selena is a flesh-and-blood character."

A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter asked: "Mr. Anderson, you have successfully produced several movies. Why did this movie choose director Ren Wiseman? As far as I know, this is the first time director Wiseman directs a feature film."

Nowadays, Ronan is becoming more and more famous as a producer. Many media reporters have learned about and learned about Ronan's resume through films such as "Spy Shadows" and "Death is Coming", and they all watched it curiously.

Everyone knows that choosing a new director to direct a movie is very risky.

Ronan still praised: "Director Wiseman is a very eloquent person. His ideas have made me very interested in him taking charge of the director. In addition, he once studied under Roland Emmerich and worked in IMF production company. He is good at grasping the atmosphere of this science fiction theme. He is very clear about what movies like "The Legend of the Night" need most. As a director, Wiseman often has fresh ideas and a keen awareness. I believe he can bring a successful masterpiece."

After saying this, Ronan got rid of the journalist's entanglement and was about to leave the media area. The reporters' goals were all turned to Kate Beckinsale.

"Miss Beckinsale, your previous film was "Pearl Harbor". Why did you choose the theme of "Legend of the Night" in the new film?"

Before leaving the interview area, Ronan also heard the conversation between Kate Beckinsale and the reporter.

"Werewolf and vampires are a very cruel story, but I like this script. I think this cruelty is a social phenomenon, so I have always looked forward to such a role. And I think the gunfight scene is very interesting. Because I have a pair of men's hands, it is easier to perform the gunfight scene."

When he came to the advertising background card with Netflix advertisements, Ronan and the rest of the crew waited for a while, and waited for Kate Beckinsale and Ren Wiseman to take a photo together in front of the media.

What surprised Ronan was that after the crew group photo ended, Ren Wiseman, Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sing stood together and took a photo together.

It seems that the relationship between the three is pretty good.

Ronan has heard that Kate Beckinsale had already gotten along with Ren Wiseman during the filming, and Michael Sing, his ex-husband...

I can only say that the views on marriage and love between the East and the West are really very different.

Even though Ronan has lived in Los Angeles for several years, he still thinks this is a bit weird.

In the East, it is hard to imagine a woman standing with her ex-husband and current boyfriend in close photo.

Ronan was the first to enter the theater and met Robert Eiger and Mark Randolph in the VIP room. The two were gathering together to talk about work. After seeing him, they hurried over.

"What are you talking about?" Luo Nan asked directly.

Robert Egg took the lead in speaking: "The release of Resident Evil DVD."

Mark Randolph gradually understood Ronan's character and said bluntly: "I hope to appropriately shorten the TV broadcast window between the release of Resident Evil and the release of DVDs, and leave it for Netflix to release DVDs on the Internet for a period of time."

Robert Iger objected: "We sold $5 million in the first round of TV broadcasting of Resident Evil, and the release of DVD must be after the first round of broadcasting. And I think the best strategy for issuing DVDs online and offline simultaneously. Netflix's channels are not enough to support us to push all the chips of DVDs."

He further said: "If we let Netflix issue DVDs through online channels first, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction with offline channels and will seriously affect our cooperation with offline channels."

Mark Randolph distinguished: "The Internet represents the future."

"That's the future." Robert Iger said the matter: "Mark, how much is Netflix's current shipment on DVD sales and leasing? If there is half of PepsiCo, we can take the risk."

Hearing this, Mark Randolph fell into silence.

Ronan said at this time: "Mark, we will give Netflix the greatest resource support, there is no doubt about this. But Bob said it very correctly. Netflix will be the company's most important DVD channel in the future, and it may even become the only channel, but not now."

Mark Randolph let out a light breath and said, "Okay, I've been convinced by you."

Robert Egg smiled and said, "Mark, I have communicated with Embassy Pictures. All DVD discs released by Resident Evil will be marked with Netflix's website."

Mark Randolph nodded: "Bob, thank you for your support."

Ronan asked deliberately: "This job is not easy, right?"

Robert Eiger told the truth: "Communicating with offline channels takes a lot of time and energy. We made some concessions to make Netflix's advertisements appear on the DVD packaging of offline channels. Fortunately, it is DVD. If it is a videotape, Pepsika and Hollywood videos will not agree to anything."

Mark Randolph also knew that the headquarters had made a lot of efforts to support Netflix and no longer asked for anything else.

Ronan shook his head: "I really can't imagine that it has been around for nearly five years since the rise of DVDs, and Pepsi and Hollywood video businesses are still mainly videotapes."

PepsiCo is okay, the DVD business is gradually expanding, but the videotape still exceeds half of the average inventory of chain stores.

Hollywood videos are even more exaggerated, with basically no DVD business.

Robert Eiger said: "The company is large in scale, and the usual model can be profitable. To turn around and transform, it requires not only huge funds, but also courage."

"They lack courage." Mark Randolph continued: "It is an inevitable trend to replace videotapes with DVDs. The more hesitant the more you are, the more you may be in trouble."

Ronan whispered: "This is a good thing for us."

The three of them couldn't help but laugh. If Netflix wants to develop into a real giant, PepsiCo is a hurdle that must be overcome.

Ronan asked again: "Mark, how is Netflix's customer development?"

"We have received enough advertising resources to support, and the number of customer registrations far exceeded expectations." Mark Randolph thought of the advertising bombing since January to the present, and fully realized the advantages of using the platform of large companies, which is something that Netflix cannot compare with its own silent development.

He simply said: "Netflix's total registered users are close to 1 million, and it is expected to grow to 3 million in the second quarter. I am confident that I will make a profit in the second quarter!"

Robert Eiger nodded: "Netflix is ​​developing faster than expected. The Internet is really an important channel that we cannot ignore."

In the early days, major Hollywood companies, including Disney, did not pay enough attention to the Internet business, which led to the fact that when they wanted to develop, their largest market share had been snatched by Netflix.

Companies like Disney even withdraw copyrights in order to restrict Netflix.

Robert Iger joined Relativity Entertainment, and through Netflix's situation, he also opened up the horizons of a traditional entertainment industry manager on the Internet.

Everyone has aspects that they are not good at and they all need to be charged at all times, even Robert Eiger is no exception.

Ronan then went somewhere else and found Will Smith, thanking him for helping.

"You're welcome, we're old friends." Will Smith touched his Fengfenger and said to Ronan: "By the way, there's a sports party next week. Are you interested in attending?"

Ronan was curious: "A party in the sports circle? What are you doing when attending a party in the sports circle?"

Will Smith seemed a little difficult to speak, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Didn't I tell you last time? Sister Williams asked me to get together."

"You didn't go?" Luo Nan became more and more curious.

After all, he still knows a little bit about the name of the Williams sisters. It is said that the two sisters once challenged Rodman at the same time, beating the big insects to the point of falling.

Will Smith corrected his expression: "Isn't this next week? I'm going alone, worried that I can't stand it. Why don't we go together? Two to two, we can definitely settle them!"

Ronan quickly shook his head: "Forget it, I can't afford to offend them."

Christopher Nolan happened to come over, and Ronan changed the subject and introduced Christopher Nolan and Will Smith.

"Will, this is director Christopher Nolan, very talented. Chris, this is Will Smith."

"Hello." Will Smith shook hands with Christopher Nolan, and didn't take it much to heart, and soon went somewhere else.
