"Yeah, Ronald...Ronald..."

The young people began to cheer Ronald's name.

"You have so many resources invested in Dirty Dancing, why don't you give us a little bit of 'love is not for sale'?"

It was Rush, the director of "Love Is Not For Sale" who walked into the office and questioned Ronald.

He originally complained about Ronald interfering in the final cut, in order to get the film passed with a PG13 rating, to sell more box office rather than respecting artistic integrity.

I just saw "Dirty Dancing" on the table getting so many positive reviews, and I was even more angry.

Unlike the rave reviews here, "Love Is Not For Sale" has received extremely negative reviews.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, for example, gave "Love Is Not For Sale" half a star.

“If Love Is Not For Sale is meant to satirize American values—if cynicism is its goal—we might be on to something here.

But no, based on this evidence, the people who made this movie were so materialistic that they actually thought it was a "teen comedy." Couldn't they see the rotten core of the script?

How could an American do such a dirty thing of using money to buy the affection of his girlfriend?"

Albert really scolded "love is not for sale" in the film review.

It’s not like there are no good things to say. The New York Times film review, which Ronald is devoted to, gave a positive evaluation:

"...director Steve Rush...wasted an opportunity to make this a deeper and more interesting film...there is an identity crisis that is the protagonist Ronald's own

Mirror.

He thinks he wants to gain popularity at all costs, but he is actually a sincere person, and finally gets Cindy's love. This movie could have been as sincere as Ronald, but what it really wanted was the box office, so

Just like other PG13 'children's movies', it edits out its own originality."

This positive review just speaks to Rush's heart. Artistry has been cut off for the sake of box office. It might as well be a negative review!

"e on, Steve, calm down. Our distribution team spent a lot of time and energy on your movie (actually much less, Love is For Sale was sold as a tie-in to Dirty Dancing

),” explains director Michelle Cannodra Rush.

"It's okay," Ronald gestured to Cannold to let him go.

"Come with me, I'll show you something." Ronald took Steve Rush to the office next door.

"These are the negative reviews my movie Dirty Dancing received. They are no better than yours." Ronald took out the various negative reviews he had received before from the drawer and showed them to Rush.

"According to proportion, the ratings of our two movies are actually about the same."

"Well, I'm sorry, Ronald," Rush said, suppressing his anger and looking like his movie reviews might not be so bad after all. Roger Ebert didn't like Ronald's movies either.

"I have made a lot of efforts, but our Daydream is a small company, I hope you can understand. My movie will be rescheduled, and some of the original resources will now be used by Aishui. I have arranged a premiere for you,

Two opportunities to be interviewed on TV shows..."

"Thank you, you are a good producer and boss." Seeing that Ronald was diverting his resources to Love Right and Not For Sale, Rush felt a little ashamed of his anger just now, "You are different from those capitalist vampires.

It’s still on the side of us artists.”

"As long as you understand, it's not easy for me either." Ronald pretended that the company was still small and could not give you more support.

"Rush, you're here... don't be like this, Ronald has already given you great resources." Steve Bannon knocked on the door from outside.

"I know, I know, hey, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have made such a good movie at such a low cost." Rush walked away moved.

"Are you satisfied?" Ronald looked at Bannon and knew what he wanted. He turned around and took out a media promotion plan and handed it to Bannon.

"I'm very satisfied, Ronald. You are a born filmmaker." Bannon looked at those promotion plans, as well as the arrangements for the protagonists to participate in TV interviews on CBS and NBC, and was convinced. This low-cost movie, with

It was filmed for less than one million US dollars, and a Beatles song was bought from MJ at a low price to be used as the theme song. As long as it can be exposed in the media, profit is almost certain. It is a matter of making more or less.

As long as he can earn more than 10 million, he can be proud of himself on Wall Street. If he earns 15 million at the box office, his old colleagues will take the initiative to call to discuss investing in his own film fund. If he earns 20 million, hehe...

...Afraid of being obedient and fighting for limited investment quota outside his office door.

"How much do you expect to earn?" Bannon asked Ronald in a low voice.

"Originally, the films scheduled for Dirty Dancing were all given to Love. In July, Disney will have "Adventures in Babysitting" to be released. I made an agreement with them. Originally, both parties took turns occupying the schedule, and there would be about 1,200 films scheduled to be released.

A conservative estimate is that if you stay in a theater for four weeks, between 20 million and 25 million is not a big problem.

But after that, there are several big-budget and powerful films such as 007, Jaws 4, RoboCop, Superman 4, and Unicron. It is estimated that your movie will not last too long. Don’t expect too much.”

"Hahaha, twenty-five million, no problem. My foundation has raised enough money. When the time comes for our cooperation, you must leave me a sufficient investment share." Bannon was overjoyed, Ronald

The estimate actually exceeded my most optimistic box office prediction. With this kind of return on investment, financing is not a problem, and then investing in a visionary producer like Ronald, I am afraid it will not grow as fast as a snowball, and then it can be released even bigger

Large-scale private equity funds, even issue junk bonds to raise funds, or go one step further to go public and reach the pinnacle of life...

It seems that retreating from Wall Street and joining Hollywood was indeed the right choice.
