As night falls and Los Angeles lights up, the city begins its most vibrant moment.

A black Bentley elegant drove out of Sunset Boulevard to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel between West Hollywood and Santa Monica, and the waiter came to open the door as soon as possible, and Ronan stepped on the short red carpet under his feet, walked through the magnificent Renaissance-style porch, and entered the hotel lobby.

"Mr. Anderson. Someone came to lead the way: "Please go this way." ”

Through a long corridor, Ronan entered the huge banquet hall and immediately saw several acquaintances.

Brian Lorde, a key partner at CAA, was the first to greet him, and after Ronan shook his hand, he greeted other CAA executives one by one.

The two sides have cooperated on a number of film and television projects, and they are also familiar with each other.

Brian Lord pulled Ronan aside and said, "The pilot of "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC TV is very good, and ABC TV will officially book the first season for you soon. ”

Nicole Kidman, who passed by, took the initiative to come over to say hello, Ronan shook hands with her and said a few words, waited for Nicole Kidman to leave, and said: "The production funds of Shahai Entertainment are in place, and Shonda will start filming next week, and the filming will be completed in August, and it will not delay the start of the autumn file." ”

Before it airs, the first season will definitely not be fully produced, but it is not uncommon for American dramas to be produced while being broadcast.

Brian Lord added: "I'm going to try to get a good time for the show to run on Friday night. ”

CAA is a packaging service provider, and Ronan is not polite, saying: "Brian, then you should be more attentive." ”

Brian Lord smiled and said, "It should be." ”

He made a gesture of please: "Ronan, I'll introduce you to a few newly signed star customers." ”

An agent like Brian Lord is in charge of a large team, and the whole team is responsible for the clients, in fact, he is in charge.

Under every big broker there are dozens of small brokers and broker assistants, who are responsible for the specific execution, this is a team.

So there is no situation that can't be brought, just like Ronan, the owner of the film company, the big agent is not a personal one.

Brian Lord takes Ronan to his team's circle, and Ronan first sees Anne Hathaway, who is chatting softly with Michelle Williams, who has worked with Shahai Entertainment.

"You should be familiar with both of them, so I won't introduce them. "Brian Lord waited alone.

"Hi Ronan, good evening. Michelle Williams took the initiative to come over and shake Ronan's hand.

Ronan smiled and nodded, "Good evening, Misha." ”

Then he looked at Anne-Hathaway and said, "What's the matter, Anne?

Anne Hathaway seemed a little emotional: "I just didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Ronan said calmly: "I didn't expect it either. ”

Michelle Williams looked at Ronan and then at Anne Hathaway, seemed to understand something, made a casual excuse, and left here.

Anne Hathaway glanced at Ronan and whispered, "It's been so long, and you haven't had a call." ”

"I'm sorry. Ronan looked sincere: "It's my fault. ”

He smiled and said: "You went overseas to shoot "Summer of Jeans", and I went to East Asia, which is indeed a little far away. You're back, why don't you tell me?"

Anne Hathaway, although a little rough, also knew that there were some things that could not be taken care of, and said: "I came back to renew my contract with CAA, and I will leave tomorrow afternoon." ”

Ronan reached out, and Anne Hathaway tacitly placed her hand in his palm.

"So you have time tonight?" Ronan took Anne Hathaway's hand and said, "Don't stay in a hotel at night, it's not convenient, go to me." ”

Anne Hathaway couldn't refuse, and didn't want to refuse, and said, "Okay then, tomorrow you ask the driver to take me to the airport." ”

She saw Brian Lord coming to Ronan and said, "I'll go talk to Misha for a while, Brian might have something to do with you." ”

Ronan is like a good man: "I'll go to you when I'm done." ”

Anne Hathaway pulled out her hand and walked towards where Michelle Williams was.

Recently, Michelle Williams' crew was on location in the same area as the crew of "Summer of Jeans", and Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams quickly became friends.

Many friendships in Hollywood, like love, tend to come very quickly and fiercely.

Brian Lord came to Ronan's side and said, "I have signed two new directors here, and I will take you to meet the female directors in them, she has a project in her hand, maybe you can reach a cooperation." ”

Ronan followed Brian Lorde and had already seen the female director, and when he saw Sofia Coppola, he couldn't help but be a little curious about the other: "There is also a male director?"

Brian Lord said: "He promised to come over tonight, and he hasn't arrived yet. ”

Ronan looked ahead, "I'll go get to know Miss Coppola first." ”

"Hi Sophia. Brian Lord approached Sofia Coppola and said, "Introduce you to a friend." ”

He looked at Ronan and said, "This is Ronan, the owner of Relativity Entertainment, a very amazing producer. Ronan, this is Sophia, a genius director. ”

Ronan shook hands with Sofia Coppola and said hello, although they hadn't seen each other before, but the Hollywood circle said that it was not big, and they had all heard each other's names.

Brian Lord is an agent, and the most important job is to connect clients with film companies, and when Ronan chatted with Sofia Coppola, he said, "Sofia, don't you want to find investors and distributors for your project? Ronan has both a production company and a distribution company, I think you can try to work together." ”

Ronan thought for a moment and asked directly, "Miss Coppola, can you know what project you have in hand?"

Sofia Coppola smiled and said, "A romance film that is roughly about an old man and a young woman's extramarital affair in Tokyo. ”

Hearing this, Ronan could roughly guess that it should be the best "Lost in Translation" made by Sofia Coppola in her directorial career.

Brian Lord duly said: "I've read the script and it's outstanding. ”

Ronan nodded, but didn't answer immediately.

Sofia Coppola added: "The story was inspired by a trip I took in Tokyo in my 20s, and that experience gave me a lot of ideas. For example, I feel a wonderful sense of intimacy and even excitement when I suddenly meet my fellow villagers in a foreign country, and at the same time, I find that in an unfamiliar environment, it is easy to fall into the examination and reflection of life in the middle of the night. ”

Ronan knows very well that this will be a romantic literary film.

Sophia added: "As for me, I hope to express my love and nostalgia through this film. In my opinion, life will always experience such lost moments, and there will also be wonderful encounters, none of which will last forever, but will have an indelible impact on life. ”

She seems to be adding to her stakes: "I've convinced Bill Murray to play the lead actor. ”

Ronan nodded and asked, "Do you want to issue a partnership, or an investment?"

Sofia Coppola shrugged slightly: "Originally, I was in contact with Miramax, but Harvey Weinstein ...... Well, you know that guy, I met him once, and the impression was so bad that I didn't like him, so I definitely wouldn't work with him. ”

Replaced by some other junior directors, they are all begging to work with Harvey Weinstein, but Sofia Coppola does have the capital to reject Harvey Weinstein.

A father named Francis Coppola, and the godfather is a female director of George Lucas with wayward powers.

Ronan asked again, "Do you still need investment in your project?"

"If you want to invest, I'm welcome. Sofia Coppola clearly believes in Brian Lorde: "This film doesn't have a lot of investment, $4 million is enough. ”

Ronan was a little curious: "You can't find the investment?"

Sofia Coppola said directly: "Although someone has prepared $4 million for me, I feel that the investment I have brought in is more meaningful. ”

Ronan understands that this should be a matter involving the relationship between father and daughter, and the aspiring daughter does not want to continue to receive assistance from her father.

There's no way, Sofia Coppola has a too high starting point in this industry, and she can star in "The Godfather" when she is breastfeeding......

"There are no problems with issuance and investment. Ronan is still more cautious: "But I need to read the script first." ”

Sofia Coppola responded: "I'll send someone to your company tomorrow." ”

Here, Ronan, Brian Lord and Sofia Coppola are still discussing the movie.

On the other side, Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams are whispering.

"Did you have a problem with Ronan?" Michelle Williams looked at Ronan and asked in a low voice, "Annie, didn't you say last time that you were very hot with each other?"

Anne Hathaway lowered her voice: "I feel like he's losing interest in me. ”

Michelle Williams seems to be experienced: "When dealing with these producers, you have to hang your appetite properly. She imparted her experience: "You can't let him get it all at once, even if you have a relationship, you have to be a little reserved and keep a little." ”

Anne-Hathaway asked, "How?"

"Every time he loses interest, you unlock a new pose. Michelle Williams is a good teacher: "Every other time, you unlock a new part. ”

She looked at Anne Hathaway's big mouth, "Like here, or somewhere else." Controlling the frequency and rhythm can make him fall on you for a long time. ”

Anne Hathaway was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "The problem is that I have used all the postures I can think of, all the parts that can be used, what can I do?"

Michelle Williams felt a deep sense of powerlessness: "Annie, you're hopeless. ”
