As a wealthy Hollywood billionaire with money and ideas, Ronan once wanted to cut down countless trees, so he paid great attention to privacy, especially at home.

Some paparazzi, not to mention asking for money and not dying, are also crazy.

Ronan has brought back a lot of female stars, and it doesn't matter how fierce the gossip and hype outside is, it doesn't matter to him, the producer behind the scenes, but to be infiltrated by the paparazzi and shoot a small video, it's not just as simple as losing face.

Therefore, in addition to the monitoring erected on the high wall, the Future World Manor also has a second set of secretly camouflaged monitoring systems on top of those tall trees.

In fact, if you want to sneak into the future world manor quietly, you can paraphrase Tom Cruise's masterpiece - impossible task.

A super agent like Ethan Hunt can only live in a movie.

Ronan sat on the couch, looked at Nikia, and asked, "What's going on?"

Nikia stood next to her and said in detail: "The security personnel reported that some people have been rummaging through the trash cans near the manor recently, and they appear near the manor, and they always like to stand in the blind spot of the surveillance to observe the manor, if it is not for a second surveillance system, it is difficult to find them." ”

Ronan was puzzled: "Paparazzi?" He himself denied: "I'm not a star, the paparazzi shouldn't go through the trash can." ”

Nikia continued: "There were paparazzi who used to circulate around the manor, and it felt different from these people, and there was no need for the paparazzi to always hide in the surveillance corner to observe the manor. ”

Ronan didn't understand either, but he was always cautious and said, "Inform Finch and strengthen the security of the manor." ”

Nikia suggested, "You'd better step up around you. ”

Ronan nodded slowly: "In the future, when I travel, I will add two more bodyguards and let them drive behind secretly." ”

"Okay. Nikia said, "I'll go tell Finch." ”

Paying attention to security and protecting privacy is a must, but Ronan doesn't pay too much attention to it, after all, Los Angeles is full of paparazzi, some of which are officially employed, and more of which are free paparazzi.

That is, the kind that shoots or gets valuable news and goes to the media for money.

Compared with the former, the latter is bolder and more bottomless.

The Pirates of the Caribbean crew finished all filming and returned to Los Angeles from Latin America to enter the post-production room of the Relativity Building to begin post-production.

Ronan went straight to the Relativity Building the next day.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom turned onto Mulholland Drive and drove some distance forward, when an SUV that had been waiting on Mulholland Road followed far away, hanging behind the Rolls-Royce not far away.

These are the two new bodyguards.

In the car, Ronan said to Finch in the passenger seat, "Just let them follow secretly." ”

Finch said, "I'll take care of it." ”

Ronan nodded, didn't say anything more, and thought about his work.

There was a lot of traffic on Mulholland Road, and there was a scrape accident at the middle of the road, which caused a bit of a traffic jam, and when the Rolls-Royce Phantom entered Century City, it was past the time of the appointment with Jessica Felton.

Ronan called Jessica Felton, remembered what Nikia said yesterday, and out of caution, asked, "Did you find anything unusual in the back?"

Finch dialed his cell phone, and after a brief exchange with the car behind him, he said to Ronan, "No, no one is following." ”

Ronan didn't ask again, and when the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of the Relativity Building, he took the elevator straight upstairs and met Jessica Felton in a post-production room.

"Hey, Jesse, let me see, your skin glows. Ronan hugged Jessica Felton gently and said, "Is this the effect of the bright Caribbean sun?"

Jessica Felton said with a little dissatisfaction: "You might as well just say that I'm black." ”

Ronan laughed, "It's not darkening, brown skin looks healthier." He looked up and down: "Thin, but thinned where it should be, and the figure is better." ”

Jessica Felton clasped her hands to her chest and said, "Ten pounds less than when I first came into the Pirates of the Caribbean crew." ”

Ronan nodded: "Good work." ”

"The main thing is that I am tired. In the face of an old friend, Jessica Filton was not polite, and said directly: "A Johnny Depp is about to toss the whole crew crazy, and in the second two months of filming, I was almost struggling with Johnny Depp's work ethic, I have been in this industry for many years, and it is the first time I have seen this kind of actor who can make people collapse." ”

Ronan patted her arm lightly, "You don't have to put up with him anymore." ”

Jessica Felton's complaint is not over: "In the last month of filming, I intimidated and coaxed him to finish all the shots. Ronan, I still can't figure out why a star who is very kind and enthusiastic to fans has become an actor who lacks even basic professional ethics when he arrives in the crew?"

"Because he's different, he's not stupid. Ronan said: "Knowing that the fans are the foundation of everything he does. ”

Stars are typically two-faced creatures.

Jessica Filton's arms strained, and her chest instantly flattened: "Ronan, do you know? In the second half of the filming, Johnny Depp even had a problem memorizing lines because of heavy drinking, and even asked me to put on wireless headphones, and the staff on the sidelines read the lines to remind him when he was filming! At that time, I couldn't believe my ears, there were actors who would do this." ”

Ronan sighed and said, "Jesse, this will happen more and more in the future. Now that they have entered the Internet era, celebrities are easy to become popular, and some people who have become popular are unable to hone their abilities like the older generation of actors because of the relationship between their inflated mentality and their own quality, as well as their fan base. ”

Jessica Felton shrugged slightly: "Times have changed." She asked, "Relativity Entertainment also uses these actors who lack even the most basic professional qualities?"

"See if they can bring in enough returns. Ronan's answer gets to the heart of the question: "If it brings enough commercial returns, why not? Of course, they can't challenge the authority of the production company and the producer." ”

Jessica Felton knows Ronan: "It's all about business, I get it. She stopped the conversation and asked, "When I came back, I heard that you were in trouble?"

Ronan smiled: "The small problems are basically solved, and those that can't be solved can be solved after a while." ”

Jessica Filton is not a vase and reminds, "Be careful. ”

"I understand. Ronan lowered his voice: "There are some things that can't be avoided. ”

If Relativity Entertainment wants to continue to maintain rapid development, the six major companies need to face it, and they can't get around it.

Jessica Felton said: "When the crew was still filming, Warner Bros. signed a film contract with Johnny Depp, and Johnny Depp was going to shoot the film of the same name based on Rolda Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and now it was Warner Bros. 's turn to have a headache." ”

Ronan said: "The director of this film is Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp will be much more restrained when facing him. ”

"Perhaps. Jessica Felton asked, "Ronan, I declare that I will never work with Johnny Depp again. ”

Ronan nodded: "Don't worry, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy has been filmed. Even if there is a sequel later, it will have to wait six or seven years or even longer. ”

He looked at Jessica Felton's delicate face comparable to Jessica Alba, and asked, "Do you want to take a vacation? I'm going to France in a few days for the Cannes Film Festival, let's go together?" ”

Jessica Filton glanced at Ronan warily: "Why did you suddenly invite me to go to France with you?"

Ronan was stunned for a moment, then understood what Jessica Felton meant, and said, "It's nothing, I see you've been working too hard lately." ”

Jessica Filton said: "No, post-production is about to start and I can't do without it. Why don't you wait for the post-production of "Soul Gathering Coffin" to be completed, and you will reward me with a round-the-world trip or an Arctic trip or something?"

Ronan answered: "No problem. He looked at Finch, who was standing aside, "Remember, turn around and say hello to Connie." ”

Finch didn't interject, just nodded slightly.

Ronan's words turned to work: ""Soul Coffin" will be released next summer, can it be completed on time?"

"There's plenty of time. When it comes to work, Jessica Filton seems to have a natural confidence: "There is also plenty of money, and I can't find a reason why I can't do it." ”

Several staff members entered the post-production room at this time, walking towards this side, obviously looking for Jessica Filton for work, Ronan didn't stay long, said goodbye to Jessica Filton, and left the post-production room.

He didn't leave the Relativity Building, went upstairs to the studio floor of the crew, found David Fincher, and cared about the preparation of that film project.

Compared to other films, the project with Lindsay Beale writing the screenplay has been slow to progress.

David Fincher is completely different from fast gunners like Spielberg and Michael Bay, who pay attention to slow work and meticulous work, and the crew is less than ten people so far, and more is engaged in the preliminary preparation of words and materials.

Ronan chatted with David Fincher in detail, and according to David Fincher's plan, the film will not be completed until the end of 2005 at the earliest.

As a result, the film can only hit the 2006 awards season.

Ronan gave David Fincher a certain amount of freedom, and the film was released in 2006 to avoid "Brokeback Mountain" and avoid the cannibalism of Relativity Entertainment's films.

Starting from this year's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", in the next few years, Relativity Entertainment will launch heavyweight award-winning movies every awards season.

After dealing with Los Angeles, Ronan joined Will Smith and flew to France together for the Cannes Film Festival, which is about to kick off.
