Roger Corman once told himself that in order to maintain his distribution business without losing money, he was too busy to produce and direct his own movies. This was also the main reason why he sold New World.

So Ronald also set up a temporary distribution team at the beginning. The first distribution business was mainly to train the team.

However, Michelle Cannold's level is unexpectedly good, and the distribution work has been done very well. In this way, if a movie can also hit the ride and be released at this time, it can greatly share the burden of "Dirty Dancing"

issuance costs.

Of course, the premise is that the movie is also a hit, at least without losing money.

"I will pay attention to find suitable movies." Ronald said that he has taken note of Cannold's suggestions and will use his contacts to see if there are any suitable ones.

"Ronald, it's very good. Cinema Score gave it a B rating, which is pretty good among romantic comedies."

On Saturday morning, Ronald received a good news call from Joseph Farrow, vice president of 20th Century Fox.

"Really? This rating is very good." Ronald was very happy when he received the call. "I thought the rating would not be that good. Why do the film critics dislike this movie so much? After converting their ratings, it is only impressive.

Can get a C”

"Some movies just don't please them. Especially romantic comedies, which often rely on the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists. In many aspects of this movie, it is completely opposite to the evaluation routines that film critics like.

In fact, the director didn’t have any deep meaning, he just wanted to make a funny, interesting, fairy tale-like love story.”

"Tsk", Ronald felt this evaluation was very accurate.

Film critics always want to read more deep meanings from movies, but sometimes, what the audience needs is just a good-looking story. Even if there is no deep meaning, it does not prevent them from watching it.

After all, it is very rare for a movie like "Platoon" to be both well-received and well-received, and to receive high marks from both critics and audiences.

"Can our weekend box office be in the top three?" Ronald thought of the bet with Minahan.

"It's very close, very close. About Friday, we will reach the top with Stallone's film, and the difference is only about 100,000.

Maybe, by the end of the Grand Commandery Day weekend, we can reach 6 million."

"Is there any hope of surpassing Over the Top?" Ronald didn't expect that with such arrogance, he could really beat Over the Top at the box office, which had twice the number of theaters.

"Well, our single theater box office is up to US$6,400, and the ticket price for Over the Top is around US$3,000. So... it's possible."

"Awesome." Ronald laughed, unable to wait to see the expression on Minahan's face.

This guy, when he made the bet, must have wanted to overwhelm himself with an extra-normal number of theaters, but he didn't expect that it would still be inferior to the movie he produced.

"I'm quite satisfied. Although Platoon is really great, the box office of a single theater has exceeded 10,000 US dollars. It is expected to earn 12 million US dollars during the weekend."

"That's really awesome." Ronald thought to himself. Now Oliver Stone has become a successful director at the box office and is about to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Director. Both the film reviews and the box office will be affected. This is

I really got through it.

…

"Minahan, I'm here to collect the bet."

As expected, the Grand Commander's Day has passed. The movie was so impressive that it took in 6 million at the box office. However, Minahan's Peak, although it was released in twice as many theaters, it only took in 5.1 million at the box office.

Moreover, the Cinema Score of Flying Over the Top was only a pitiful C, and the single-box box office dropped further, to just over 2,900. The poor box office results caused some New York film critics, who Minahan had not contacted, to give the film a review that was not recommended.

Some people scolded Stallone for just repeating Rocky clumsily, which made Ronald who was reading the newspaper happy for a while.

"I'm willing to admit defeat. You are still very good as a producer, and the films you make are so good." Minahan said that he didn't deny anything.

"But you will also go to the premiere in Cannes, right? Will you also attend the premiere of my movie Superman IV?"

"Uh...okay..." Ronald didn't expect that Minahan was waiting for him here.

"This time at the Oscars, we, Cannon, were nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film. It was 'The Assault' that we jointly shot in the Netherlands. Can I count on your vote?"

Minahan would not suffer any loss, and then made a request to vote for his film in Ronald's Best Foreign Language Film.

"No problem at all."

Ronald has no idea about this kind of small award, so just vote for him. In addition to Best Actress, he voted for his friend Cameron's Alien Part 2. Best Actor will go to Scorsese's The Color of Money.

In addition, he will give one vote for Best Director to Woody Allen, who is kind to him. For other awards, his agent Niceta will actually go and see if anyone is willing to exchange them.

"Quack, quack, we are best friends." Minahan was very happy that Ronald was so straightforward.

"Do you have any Oscar nominations? I can ask all Cannon's contracted actors and directors who are eligible to vote to vote for you."

"Why……"

Top Gun was not nominated for any major awards, as CAA expected.

"It's the best original song for a movie, please help me."

Among the four nominations for Best Editing, Best Score, Best Original Film Song, and Best Sound Design, only Best Original Song was nominated. Because I became the star of "Take My Breath Away" and shot the MV, it has something to do with it.

Ronald then gave the favor to the Berlin band.
