Chapter 582 Obey the contract

In Beverly Hills, the sun was facing west, Ronan got into the car and asked the driver David to pick up assistant Connie first, then headed straight to the Koda Theater to the scene of the 76th Academy Awards.

Connie got into the co-pilot of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and said: "Embassy Pictures just reported a news that Mel Gibson's agent Cameron Sloan took the initiative to contact Embassy Pictures to discuss the matters of the producers of "The Crucifix"."

Ronan frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, Embassy Pictures bought out all copyrights of "The Crucifix" at one time, right?"

"That's it." Connie briefly explained: "He believes that the producer is the key to the success of the film and has the right to participate in the post-sharing."

Ronan was not surprised by this. After all, the box office of "The Passion of Jesus" exploded too ruthlessly. As the person who planned and filmed this movie, it was abnormal that Mel Gibson had no idea.

But this does not mean that he recognizes Mel Gibson as a part of the late share.

Embassy Pictures bought out "The Passion of Jesus" for $40 million. Judging from its current box office results, it has indeed taken a big advantage, but what if the film fails? Embassy Pictures invested $65 million from buying out to publicity to distribution. Will the producers help make up for the losses?

The answer is obvious.

Ronan asked, "Did they not mention specific conditions?"

Connie quickly said: "10% of total revenue share or 10% of box office share."

"Ha..." Luo Nan couldn't help but smile: "Nothing is so good in the world."

What else do the law and contract do?

Connie said: "The Embassy Films is ready to reject them."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, the film can be sold well. Mel Gibson and the producers have really made a big contribution. Let the Embassy Film Company communicate with the producers. When the film is down in North America, pay Mel Gibson $2 million as a box office reward, the male and female protagonists...well, a bonus of $500,000 each."

The big head of Embassy Films' profitability, and Ronan doesn't mind giving the producers some bonuses.

But this is the project bonus, not the later share!

"Okay." Connie wrote a note on her notebook and said, "I will notify the Embassy Films tomorrow."

It is impossible for Ronan to make such a hole. Embassy Film will definitely buy out movies later. Once there is a precedent, it will be difficult to deal with in the future.

He made a little consideration and said: "If Mel Gibson and the producer do not agree, they will make a request for non-subsidy and implement the contract signed by both parties."

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived near the Kodak Theater. Under the command of the staff, he quickly stopped in front of the red carpet. After Ronan got out of the car, he did not stop in front of media reporters and movie fans, and walked straight to the entrance of the theater along the red carpet.

The red carpet ceremony is a star's moment, and the director and producers all want to make way for them.

Luo Nan came to the interview area. A reporter recognized who he was and came over to interview, wanting to ask him what he thought about the film won the award.

"Predict? I don't think it's necessary." Ronan deliberately glanced at the watch: "Please wait patiently for four hours, and you can know all the results."

After saying that, regardless of the questions from other media reporters, he walked directly to the stairs of Kodak Theater.

The Oscar results have already come out, so let’s just forget about predictions and other things.

The last voting for this Academy Awards started from the announcement of the nomination list on February 14 to the end on February 25 before the award ceremony. After the judges' tickets were mailed back to the college, two PwC accountants were responsible for counting the votes. The votes were counted and the names of the winners were sealed. The envelopes were filled with suspense and expectations. They had to wait until the Oscars were broadcast live.

On the way to the main hall of the Kodak Theater, Ronan met Charlize Theron again.

"Good evening, Sally." Ronan said hello.

Charlize Theron wore a fishtail evening dress with bright silver pieces, and his figure was basically restored. He created aura with a bright and beautiful heart.

"Good evening, Ronan." Charlize Theron smiled at Ronan.

Stewart Townsend, who was following Charlize Theron, had no presence and was subconsciously ignored by Ronan. He just said to Charlize Theron: "You are the number one favorite tonight's best actress, I wish you the Little Golden Man."

Charlize Theron said kindly: "Thank you."

Ronan didn't say much, and walked forward alone after entering the theater.

Stewart Townsend looked at Charlize Theron, feeling extremely complicated. Should Charlize Theron win the Best Actress, should he be happy? Or should he be happy?

The boyfriend of the Oscar winner, Stewart Townsend, had already thought that the media and the public would call him in the future.

This feeling is really not very good, it damages the dignity of a man.

Charlize Theron obviously did not notice the change in her boyfriend's mentality. On the short journey to the crew, many people took the initiative to say hello. Whether it was out of politeness or the maintenance of the network, she needed to deal with it enthusiastically.

Similar to Ronan, almost everyone ignored the existence of Stewart Townsend and was just talking to Charlize Theron.

Because everyone knows very well that Charlize Theron is probably the best actress tonight.

In front of the Best Actress, Stewart Townsend is completely transparent.

When Ronan passed through the seat of the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", he chatted with Peter Jackson for a few words, and then sat down at the seat of the crew of "Lost Tokyo".

Scarlett Johnson, who was next to him, immediately came over: "You came very late and it's about to start. I thought you were not here."

Ronan smiled: "Whether I come or not has no effect on the awards results."

Scarlett Johnson held his hand directly and said, "You can give me confidence here."

Ronan joked: "You can't run away even if you run. We have done our job well, and the rest depends on luck."

Scarlett Johnson's eyes turned, leaned into Ronan's ear, and whispered: "If I can get a little golden man back, you'll do it tonight."

Luo Nan smiled but said nothing because he had too many casual times and was no longer so attractive.

"Can I win the award?" Scarlett Johnson still asked this question.

Ronan said calmly: "You are a popular one."

Before the award ceremony began, the media released various predictions, but the predictions of winners of the main awards were surprisingly similar - the best film and best director are "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and the director Peter Jackson; the best actor and actress will still be Sean Penn and Charles Theron who have already won the awards in the awards season; the best supporting actor and actress awards will be awarded to Tim Robbins and Scarlett Johnson respectively.

Some media even claimed that this was the most suspenseless Oscars, and the competition where suspense disappeared would make people feel boring.

Of course, this is just a prediction, and upset is never a rare thing at the Oscars.

The Oscar has nearly 6,000 members, and the final award results cannot be changed with personal will. At this moment, there are only two people who know the award results - PwC's partners Gligo Garrison and Rick Rosas.

The music on the stage suddenly rang out, and the 76th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps the ratings of the past few years have been terrible. This year's awards ceremony not only has the stage layout more gorgeous, but also has a retro flavor of the 1990s.

After three years of separation, Billy Christo once again appeared on the stage hosted by the Oscars.

The famous comedian once again took out his Oscar-singing repertoire program - a nominated movie to sing a big skewer.

"It's Sofia Coppola, the first American woman ever to be nominated for Best Director... She finished filming the movie in just 47 days, and her friend just woke Elya Wood from her sleep with this time..."

"Frodo and Sam were walking on the mysterious land, and Smago suddenly jumped out, just like Jenny Jackson's right breast! Britney and Jennifer Lopez dumped their husbands after watching this movie. They thought this movie was called a break-up ring..."

The first award at the opening was Best Supporting Actor. As the media predicted, Tim Robbins took away the Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man from the last Best Supporting Actress winner Katherine Zeta Jones with his performance in "Mysterious River".

Subsequently, technical awards began to be awarded one by one, and "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" became the biggest winner. Peter Jackson's crew won all the Little Golden Man back.

The winning rate of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" is always 100%.

Everyone, including Ronan, can see it clearly. After the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Oscars should be the biggest recognition of this series.

Having said that, if JK Rowling dies, Oscar will probably give a similar response when the Harry Potter series is over.

The dead are always more popular than the living, and the old men are always more important than the young. This is the Oscar truth.

Another great truth is to divide the cake. Oscar judges do not want to give an important award to a popular person or a popular movie. They will definitely give a consolation prize before the heavyweight award arrives.

Unfortunately, Sofia Coppola and "Lost Tokyo" were classified as part of this ranks.

After winning the best adapted script in "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", Sofia Coppola won the best original script, Xiao Jinren, with "Lost Tokyo".

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sofia Coppola has said goodbye to the best director in advance.

Even Scarlett Johnson was a little nervous and grabbed Ronan's hand and asked, "I won't be affected, are you?"
