Ronan wondered: "Irene-Zhang?"

This should be a Chinese or Easterner English name, and it is a woman, but after memorizing, Ronan doesn't remember such a female writer.

James Shams hurriedly said: "This is an oriental female writer decades ago."

Ronan shook his head slowly: "I have some understanding of Eastern culture, but I have never heard of this name."

Ang Lee thought for a while and said in Chinese: "James is talking about Eileen Chang."

Hearing this familiar name, Luo Nan instantly understood: "I know her, you should become famous as soon as possible."

"Yes." James Shams nodded and said, "It's her."

Ang Lee was curious and asked, "James, which one or which one do you like?"

Although James Shams has not answered yet, Ronan has an answer in his heart.

Zhang Ailing and Ang Lee are directly linked to each other, with only one name - "Lust and Caution".

James Shams said this name: "Irene Zhang's short story "Lust Caution".

Ang Lee had obviously read this work and frowned slightly: "This article?"

James Shams knew where Ang Lee’s concerns were and knew better that the most critical project was investment, so he immediately turned to Ronan: "Mr. Anderson, don’t you know you are interested?"

Ronan has watched "Lust and Caution" many times, of course it is not the whole movie, but the essence of it. It is absolutely super popular online videos.

The former heroine paid a considerable price for this, and it was even rumored that she was a real sword and a gun when filming with the hero.

If it is true, I can only say that I am dedicated and dedicated to art.

Not everyone has such courage and opportunity.

But Ronan's impression of this film is not good, even a bit bad, and there is basically no market in North America...

"Is it written about Dongfang?" Ronan asked Ang Lee: "The movie adaptation is also an Oriental plot?"

Ang Lee said: "The "Lust and Caution" is the East."

James Shams continued: "The movie adaptation cannot be separated."

Ronan smiled: "I can only say sorry." He was very direct: "James, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

James Shams was surprised, looked at Ang Lee and said, "What if Lee was the director?"

He knew that Ronan valued Ang Lee very much.

But Ang Lee is very good at being a human being: "James, you have never discussed this project with me, and I have never promised you to be a director."

He was also straightforward: "Sorry, James, I have no interest in "Lust and Caution."

The failure of "The Hulk" has allowed Ang Lee to learn enough experience and lessons. Now there is the thigh that can be held by the Relativity Entertainment and the full support of Ronan, who treats Chinese directors equally, why do you still wander around?

If it were other companies, would they get the trust of Ronan and the support of Relativity Entertainment?

James Shams didn't know what to say for a moment, so Ronan put down his knife and fork and said, "I'll eat it, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he walked towards the place where Anne Hathaway was.

"Lee?" James Shams was puzzled: "We have worked together for many years..."

Ang Lee raised his hand and stopped James Shams from continuing: "Ronan advised me not to take on "The Hulk", but I took it. What's the end?"

James Shams is one of the screenwriters of "The Hulk", so naturally he knows what happened in this film.

Ang Lee said again: "The support given by Relativity Entertainment is something I could not imagine before."

James Shams sighed, forked a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard for a while, swallowed it, and said, "It seems that I have gained nothing this time."

Ang Lee comforted his old partner: "You can always find a suitable investor. If it really doesn't work, you can go to the other side of the Pacific."

James Shams nodded: "That's all."

Ronan does not know the market data of "Lust and Caution", but based on common sense, the box office results in North America are definitely not good, and perhaps there will be a market in the East.

The Oriental Market has just entered a period of rapid development, and the total market volume is not large. Coupled with the restricted introduction terms and box office share ratio, this project is unhappy for Hollywood investors.

If you only invest in the filming of Shahai Entertainment, this film will not be able to pass the big scissors level.

Unless you cooperate with Oriental Company and create a co-production film.

That would be meaningless, it would be difficult to operate, and the expected market would be limited.

Another point is that Ronan has a bad impression of "Lust and Caution".

Of course, that super essence condensed version is not listed here.

Ronan did not stay in Owyming for a long time. After Anne Hathaway accompanied him to see nearby attractions this weekend, he returned to Los Angeles.

After Ang Lee's crew completes the filming, they will return to Los Angeles for post-production.

In order to give Ang Lee plenty of time for post-production, the Embassy Film Company applied for the Venetian Film Festival at the end of August and early September for "Brokeback Mountain". It was not a problem to get the quota for the competition unit. The Venetian Film Festival started with the Venetian Film Festival to kick off the award.

This year's awards season, Brokeback Mountain was too late, but Embassy Film still has many sub-election players.

Chris Gardner himself has signed a contract with Embassy Pictures and will participate in the promotional activities of "When Happiness Comes Knocks" in December.

There is no doubt that this is also a huge opportunity for Chris Gardner and his company.

If the film is sold well and spreads widely, Chris Gardner will also gain a reputation. As a stock brokerage company and investment company, it will inevitably attract more customers.

Another film that is focused on promoting is "Crash".

After the Toronto Film Festival, Embassy Films formulated a detailed promotion and award-winning plan, which will be implemented since early October.

Los Angeles, a multi-ethnic super metropolis, has countless disputes and conflicts caused by racial issues every day.

Even if you don’t need to collect it deliberately, there are countless cases in this regard.

Because of Ronan's relationship, Embassy Film has been ahead of Hollywood's promotional investment on the Internet, and has had a strong online promotion team over the past few years.

Among them, a small team specifically serves "Crash", with its main task being to spread racial discrimination incidents in the Los Angeles area on the Internet, and strive to make racial discrimination in Los Angeles a mainstream topic in media and entertainment when awards season comes.

Once this topic is discussed, the opportunity for "Crash" will come.

It would be better if Los Angeles could have a few more black sports breakouts.

Hollywood's film operations are maintained above the legal line, and they are simply doing everything they can.

Although Relativity Entertainment started late, it is not inferior to the six major companies and has the attitude of being a latecomer.

Ronan also asked people to collect materials further, hoping to gain something.

As long as public opinion can ignite, Ronan believes very much in the powerful power of the black and white left-wing groups in the Hollywood circle.

“There are many small conflicts, and they happen every day.”

In the Embassy Film Industry, Garcia Rodriguez said to Ronan: "But over the years, many people have also formed an inertia and think that this is not a big deal. Therefore, it takes a big event to explode public opinion."

Ronan asked: "Celebrity incident effect is also effective, right?"

"Yes," Garcia said: "If a celebrity publicly expresses similar views and makes related events, with the current social situation, public opinion will definitely explode."

He was full of doubts: "But now, there are fewer and fewer such celebrities."

Thomas suddenly interrupted, "Why do we find a way to make it together?"

Ronan waved his hand first: "In the future, this aspect will become more and more sensitive. We cannot directly involve it. You must pay attention."

"Let's just wait?" Thomas was a little helpless.

Garcia thought a little: "Let the network team focus on this aspect. If there are too many small things, there will always be explosions."

Thomas nodded: "A detonation point is still needed."

Ronan said calmly: "It's a while since the awards season, so wait patiently." He said: "This is also conducive to "When Happiness Comes Knocking" to win the Oscar for Best Actor."

Thomas took a fist: "This kind of public opinion trend can solve the needs of the two films."

"Be careful to get others to get a bargain." Ronan asked, "What about the situation in "The King of Souls"?"

Thomas replied: "The production budget is 75 million US dollars, the distribution company is Universal Pictures, and the hero is Jamie Fox. At the end of this month, the weekend before Halloween, it will be released in the same period as our "Saw 2". The feedback is very clear. Jamie Fox has targeted the Oscar for Best Actor."

He thought for a while and said, "Director Taylor Heckford wrote the script as early as 1987, but he didn't find an investor, and it dragged it until last year."

Ronan said directly: "After this film is released, remember to remind everyone through the media that Jamie Fox is a singer and comedian."

Will Smith is born with a disadvantage in the Oscars, so that at least he can try to lower Jamie Fox to the same starting line as Will Smith.

To be honest, Jamie Fox once won the Oscar for Best Actor, which is a big and small unpopular person.

Perhaps his identity as a black actor played an extremely important role.

With October approaching, the film released by Embassy Pictures was released again. DreamWorks Animation Studio's "Shark Gang" started painting in 4,218 theaters in North America, and won $49.57 million in three days on weekends.

The collaboration between Embassy Film and DreamWorks Animation Studios has been successful again.

In just ten days, the North American box office of "Shark Gang" exceeded $100 million.

The two films "Shrek Monster" and "Shark Gang" have been successful one after another, and Embassy Pictures has fully demonstrated its distribution capabilities in animated films to the outside world.
