This is a hot premiere and a deserted premiere.

The popularity was because hundreds of media reporters and thousands of protesters were surrounded outside the Chiefs Stone Theater, which held its premiere.

The reporters' cameras are mostly focused on the protest groups.

The messy protest scenes are not too much for the routine programs that are indispensable outside the Oscars every year.

Desolate refers to the red carpet.

In addition to the creators of "The Crucifixion", there are also hardcore friends such as Sylvester Stallone, who are basically no guests on the red carpet.

Although the film is very popular, people with a little bit of mind understand the risks that this film may have. If it is not a hardcore like Stallone, who would be willing to walk on the red carpet to trek into this muddy water?

Of course, Ronan would not invite his friends and long-term collaborators to the premiere.

The news of the "Crucifixion" has already risen.

The copyright of this film was bought out by the Embassy Film Industry. In fact, many people came to attend the premiere for Ronan's sake, but they did not walk on the red carpet, but just quietly entered the theater through the side door.

"I didn't expect you to come."

In the VIP room, Ronan and Scarlett Johnson hugged gently and asked, "Are you busy with publicity recently?"

Scarlett Johnson smiled heartily and said, "You helped me win the best supporting actress nomination, so I have to fight for that little golden man."

Ronan patted her arm lightly: "Good luck."

As early as early February, the college announced the list of nominations for the 76th Academy Awards. "Lost Tokyo" won five nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Photography, Best Supporting Actress and Best Picture.

The Oscars will be held in one week. Whether Scarlett Johnson can win the award has been done, and now it can only depend on luck.

Scarlett Johnson was very confident: "I have always been very lucky."

Ronan nodded slightly: "My luck is also good."

Both of them laughed tacitly.

Speaking of which, the award-winning process of "Lost Tokyo" was not smooth. Bill Murray had a lot of opinions about not being nominated for Best Actor. He once publicly complained about the producers, but he was also an old actor. He only dared to go to the level of Shahai Entertainment and never mentioned Ronan's name at all.

Relativity Entertainment invests in award-winning resources. Even from the perspective of cost control and risk control, there will be no investment in too much capital. If the resources are dispersed part of them, it may lead to an accident in a target award.

After talking about the Oscars, Scarlett Johnson turned to ask: "Have the schedule of "Dawn of the Living Dead" been confirmed?"

This is her first commercial film to truly play the leading actress, which is directly related to her future money prospects.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "It may be September or October, and it will definitely be released within this year and will not be delayed until next year."

Scarlett Johnson said: "I hope the movies will sell well and my pay will rise a lot."

Ronan asked, “Are you short of money?”

Scarlett Johnson shrugged: "For the best supporting actress, I owe a large loan from the bank. It's not easy to be a female star, and I can't make ends meet."

"Stop it." Ronan smiled: "It will get better soon."

Which movie is more appropriate for Natasha Normanov to appear in Marvel? Is it better to use the old goblin setting in the comics or is it like the movies in the past?

Ronan said again: "Scarlett, go and contact Connie. I remember she has invested in a styling studio. Next week it will be the Oscars. Let her prepare for you."

Scarlett Johnson understood that Ronan was paying for her Oscar-style expenses and said, "I'm not polite to you."

She was planning to borrow another $100,000 from the bank before.

Ronan saw a familiar figure coming over. The other party obviously knew him. Before he could approach, he stretched out his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."

"Good evening, Mr. Stallone." Ronan shook hands with Sylvester Stallone and said, "Welcome to the premiere."

Stallone's voice was very special, a bit whimpering, and his pronunciation was not very clear, but it was very special, making people unconsciously think of Rambo after listening to it.

After a few simple conversations, from the perspective of appearance, Stallone's appearance is particularly in line with the image that several generations of Americans have shown. He has few words, his eyes are melancholy, his expression is cold, his body is strong, his mind is calm, he cannot be beaten, and he is tenacious and unyielding. He strives forward bravely for his goal. These tall and mighty classic images are in line with the taste of Americans.

It is not unreasonable that Rambo and Rocky can be so popular that they are half the sky.

Stallone came to the premiere today, not only to cheer for his hardcore friend Mel Gibson, but also to other purposes.

In the previous aspect, he was originally a typical conservative rightist in Hollywood and was not afraid of the so-called rumors.

The latter aspect is directly related to the careers in the next few years.

"I heard that Relativity Entertainment acquired Yijiang Film?" Stallone got to the point: "Ronan, is the copyright of "The First Drop of Blood" also in the hands of Relativity Entertainment?"

Ronan glanced at Stallone, had some guesses in his heart, but he was not slow in his mouth, and said, "Yes, all copyrights of the "First Blood" trilogy are now owned by Relativity Entertainment."

Stallone is straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush and asks directly: "Have you considered continuing to shoot the sequel to this series?"

Ronan smiled: "If you are willing to take on the fourth part, I have no problem."

Stallone was about to answer the conversation, and Ronan said the ugly words before: "I personally like this series very much, but from the perspective of the producer, traditional action films have declined. If I were asked to produce "The First Blood 4", I would definitely have to control the investment scale, and the production cost would not exceed 20 million US dollars."

Hearing this, Stallone's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished, and he said, "Action movies are huge projects."

"If you're willing to return, I can squeeze out a $20 million budget," Ronan said.

With the appeal of the name Rambo, it should be able to recover $20 million in investment, but no matter how much investment is, coupled with the cost of publicity and issuance, the risk is too great.

Stallone didn't expect his proposal to get such an answer. He thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes."

Whether it is a project like this, it doesn't matter if it doesn't have one.

Stallone originally had an idea about action movies, but seeing that Ronan did not pay attention to it at all and even despised traditional action movies, he simply stopped talking about these things.

A good movie project should be left to those who can appreciate it.

Ronan greeted several more guests and saw Mel Gibson coming over with a man in his forties.

This man is not tall, wearing a formal outfit, walking in a crooked manner, always with a ruffian spirit, as if he is not in a formal position.

Ronan only glanced at him and recognized who this person was. After all, the impression he had left was too deep. Even if it was the first time he saw him outside the screen, he could instantly confirm his name.

Mel Gibson politely greeted Ronan, pointed to the middle-aged man who always made people feel careless, and said, "Ronan, introduce it to your friends."

Luo Nan nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man's eyes were also looking at him.

"This is Robert Downey Jr., the son of Robert Downey Sr., and a talented actor." Mel Gibson introduced both parties: "Downey, this is Mr. Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment Group."

Robert Downey Jr. responded a little slowly, and squeezed out some laughter from the corner of his mouth, shook hands with Ronan: "It's a great honor to know you, Mr. Anderson."

Ronan shook hands with him gently: "Good evening."

When Mel Gibson saw Ronan's reaction was dull, he quickly said: "Donny is very talented in acting and was nominated for Best Actor in the Oscar in the early 1990s."

Robert Downey Jr. has not yet completely sued the most bastard stage of his life, and has stood aside and let Mel Gibson praise him.

With Ronan's current identity, of course, there is no need to pretend to be a polite and cold response to Robert Downey Jr.

To be honest, Mel Gibson is very friendly and brought Robert Downey Jr. to Ronan to help him develop his interpersonal network.

Ronan secretly observed that Robert Downey Jr. is not the Tony Stark that he used to be.

Robert Downey Jr. was able to struggle out of the quagmire at that time thanks to the help of two people, one was his later producer's wife, and the other was Mel Gibson.

The three of them said a few words coldly. Seeing that Ronan was not interested in Robert Downey Jr., Mel Gibson had to take him to another place and soon started chatting with Stallone.

Because of the Avengers Project, Ronan is far more familiar with Robert Downey Jr.'s situation than Mel Gibson thinks about.

Robert Downey Jr. was imprisoned several times because of drugs, the most recent time was in 2001 and did not come out of prison until the end of 2002.

Drugs can be said to be one of the biggest disasters in the world. How many talents and families have been destroyed? Robert Downey Jr. is just one of many actors in Hollywood who have been destroyed by drugs.

After being released from prison, no producer dared to easily use Robert Downey Jr., and Robert Downey Jr.'s roles were also obtained with Mel Gibson's protection.

Even so, these jobs are not very good, such as being a "stand-in" for singer Elton John's song "I Want to Love".

The former Oscar-winning actor is now trying to match the lip of the pop singers.

This can also be said to be a typical example of immortality.

But who would have thought that Robert Downey Jr. had extraordinary perseverance, achieved a counterattack, and reached the peak of his life.
