Chapter 772: A Textbook Model
The first two "Bourne Movies" undoubtedly achieved great success. Jason Bourne replaced James Bond and Ethan Hunt as the most representative figure of the agent on the Hollywood screen.
Jason Bourne also made many people feel that this is what real agents should look like.
With this series, the biggest beneficiary is Relativity Entertainment, besides director Paul Greengrass and actor Matt Damon.
Especially the latter, with the success of "The Bourne", rushed into the ranks of Hollywood first-line stars in one fell swoop.
In the fantasy adventure film "Brothers Grimm" launched by Miramax Films, Matt Damon also really stepped into the 20 million club.
This film also made Matt Damon and Harvey Weinstein take over the indissoluble bond.
Ronan got the news that Matt Damon and Harvey Weinstein were very speculative, and they had a tendency to meet each other later. When a New York media wanted to expose something about Harvey Weinstein, Matt- Damon did not hesitate to call the editor-in-chief of that media in person to put pressure on him.
Ultimately, as before, under pressure from many quarters, the Harvey Weinstein affair ended with nothing.
For many small actors, small stars and even second-tier stars, Harvey Weinstein is a veritable big man in Hollywood.
The online and offline success of the two "Bourne Movies" films also laid the foundation for the release of the third film.
Just entering May, Embassy Pictures held a grand premiere for "The Bourne 3" at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
On the day of the premiere, the media gathered, the stars gathered, and fans focused.
This is the first major commercial production released in the summer of 2005, and it is also the sequel to the hit movie. The Embassy Pictures has already played the banner in the publicity, "The Bourne" will be the end of Bourne's trilogy made.
These have attracted the attention of a large number of movie fans.
Completely different from the publicity and promotion of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, "Bourne Shadow 3" does not need to be ingenious, as long as it is done step by step.
Embassy Pictures also won a huge opening scale of 4120 theaters for this film.
At the premiere, Matt Damon was undoubtedly the focus of attention.
When he met Ronan, he said: "The trilogy is coming to an end, and I am very reluctant to play the role of Jason Bourne."
Ronan shook hands with him: "No matter how beautiful the journey is, it will eventually have an end."
Matt Damon said with a smile: "Ronan, thank you very much for choosing me for this role."
"You're welcome." Matt Damon spoke beautifully, and Ronan said something similar: "Matt, you have brought an unsurpassed classic character to Relativity Entertainment."
Just like making friends with Harvey Weinstein, Matt Damon is very aware of the importance of building a good relationship with the big people in the circle, and said: "I have gained a lot from this cooperation, and I will never forget it. This cooperation is over. Hope we can start the next period of cooperation soon.”
Ronan thought of the potatoes being planted on Mars, and said, "There will be a chance."
In dealing with interpersonal relationships, Matt Damon is as meek as he looks, and it's hard to be disgusted.
Perhaps, this is also a key factor for Matt Damon's great success.
Like Johnny Depp, it’s okay to say that when it goes well, others coax it for commercial gain. If it goes downhill, I’m afraid everyone in the circle can’t wait to rush up and step on it.
Paul Greenglass also came over to chat with Ronan for a few words, and specifically talked about the new project: "I plan to adapt and shoot a film based on the 1972 demonstrations in Derry, Ireland. The script is already being created."
Ronan nodded slightly: "We'll talk after you finish the script."
"Okay," Paul Greenglass said.
When he left, Ronan asked Connie, the assistant behind him, "Do you understand the demonstrations in Derry, Ireland?"
In 1972, more than 30 years ago, Ronan had never heard of something that happened in a corner like Ireland.
Connie is also a little helpless, even though she thinks she is well-informed, even Ronan rarely asks her, but who cares about Ireland? Besides, it was more than thirty years ago.
"I don't know much about it." Connie said truthfully, "I've never heard of it."
Ronan nodded slightly. It seems that this is not a big deal. If it is adapted into a movie, besides the director Paul Greengrass himself, how many people will pay attention to the content?
Of course, it's still too early to make a judgment, and it won't be too late to make a decision after Paul Greengrass reads the script.
Ronan speculated that it might have something to do with the political relationship between Ireland and the United Kingdom. The mess between these two countries can last for three days and three nights.
There were many guests at the premiere, including quite a few stars and actors who have a lot to do with Relativity Entertainment.
These people all came to say hello to Ronan. They all knew very well that in terms of movies alone, entertainment has surpassed some members of the six major Hollywood companies. In the future, actors will be able to provide many good opportunities with good remuneration.
But those who enter Hollywood and work hard, there are not many self-confident ones.
In private, no actor would jokingly say how about art. Hollywood is a well-known Vanity Fair.
Not for fame, not for profit, running around in this circle to waste your life?
To Ronan's surprise, he saw Angelina Jolie in it.
The other two protagonists of the super triangle gossip incident, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, all hid, only Angelina Jolie still generously attended various activities. What, doesn't seem to be affected at all.
Angelina Jolie has known Ronan for many years, and she is still exercising under the guidance of the same fitness trainer, and she also talked about it openly: "Why should I hide? This is my love. I have never I'm not a coward, since I love you, I have to pursue it boldly."
Ronan could only say: "Julie, you are very brave."
Angelina Jolie said: "If I fall in love, I won't let go; if I don't love, I won't hold on to it. This is my concept of love, it's very simple."
Ronan didn't know how to speak. According to the general view, Angelina Jolie intervened in the marriage of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston as a third party, which was very immoral.
But Hollywood has never measured people by moral standards.
There are too many such crap in Hollywood, too many to count.
Frankly speaking, it's hard to say whether Jennifer Aniston noticed it before, but she has kept silent.
If it weren't for the media kicking off, it is unknown whether Jennifer Aniston will get divorced later.
In the circle of Hollywood, messy things like this are not uncommon at all.
For example, Charlie Sheen and Dennis Richards, the latter is the heroine of "Starship Troopers" and was once a member of Heidi Frass.
When Charlie Sheen contacted Heidi Frass and asked the other party's contact to provide paid services, he met Dennis Richards who came to him for door-to-door service. Later, they got married, and Dennis Richards even became a Hollywood starlet.
Therefore, "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts with a big mouth is not completely nonsense. As a paid service woman, in addition to letting honest people take over, she also has other opportunities to get ahead.
But the chances are very small.
Angelina Jolie is a very assertive woman. When she fell in love with Brad Pitt, she took the initiative to make a move and would never give up because of outside interference.
From another perspective, when love disappears one day, she will give up Brad Pitt without hesitation.
Around the same time, Ronan also entered the theater. Chris from Sony Entertainment approached him and changed seats with Connie next to him.
"How much is the estimated box office of this movie?" Chris asked directly, "600 million dollars worldwide?"
Ronan smiled and said, "I can only say that I hope so."
Chris was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard his ambiguity: "From you, I can't get any definite information. Some outsiders estimate that "Bourne Shadow" has brought more than 500 million US dollars to Relativity Entertainment online and offline." net profit."
Ronan spread his hands, and said helplessly: "You are in the film industry, is there such a possibility?"
"It's hard to say." Chris said, "You all hide the income and profits of the movie, and never announce it."
Ronan retorted directly: "Is the profit and revenue of the Sony Columbia Pictures adaptation reported correctly? We all do."
He smiled: "Interests touch people's hearts. Speculation is one thing. If the data is really released, how many people will jump out and say that the movie has infringed their copyright? Will the interest team headed by the original author create other interests?" thoughts?"
Chris couldn't ask any more questions, but instead followed Ronan's words and said, "So, in many cases, Hollywood movies are not profitable."
There is no right answer to this kind of thing. Behind every successful Hollywood movie, there are always a large number of economic lawsuits.
The cinema quickly quieted down, and the screening of "The Bourne Shadow 3" also kicked off.
The style of the film remains the same as before, with handheld cameras, documentary-style picture language, fast editing, Paul Greenglass and the "Bourne Shadow" series, which can be described as a trick that is popular all over the world.
Today, Paul Greenglass and Matt Damon are both at the peak of their respective film careers.
Since "Bourne 3" was positioned as the finale of the trilogy from the very beginning, the main line of the film is clear and clear. Wandering to seek the final answer, a series of well-designed small details are cleverly arranged on the main line like pearls, and surprises frequently appear.
"Bourne Shadow 3" is destined to become a textbook example of spy war films in the new century.
With no advanced weapons, no organizational support, and almost no helpers, Bourne basically relied on his bare hands to fight against the CIA, which was more powerful than the previous two episodes, and took every step of the way in the preemptive strike.
In the end, Bourne not only brought the criminals among the top CIA to the trial seat, but also escaped unscathed.
