Only after experiencing the blow of disappointment can we know the preciousness of hope.

Wen Ziren and Ray Warner are undoubtedly prime examples in this regard, as long as the project is approved, and the directorial position they are required to be guaranteed is guaranteed, everything else is fine.

In Hollywood, newcomers with no qualifications and background actually have no capital to raise conditions.

"You need to keep revising the script. Ronan advised, "You still need to make a more specific project plan, and this is just the beginning of this project." ”

Wen Ziren swore that "we will do our best." ”

Ronan said again: "You leave the contact information to Connie, as far as my assistant is concerned, I will ask Shahai Entertainment to contact you and discuss the specific details of the cooperation." ”

"Okay. Wen Ziren's face was full of smiles: "We have no problem." ”

"That's all for today. Ronan left the business card for the two of them: "If you have any difficulties, call me directly, or contact Connie." ”

After the two men left their contact information, Ronan sent them out of the company.

Back in the office, Ronan immediately used the script as a basis, made the initial project package as quickly as possible, called Connie, and said: "Transfer this project to Shahai Entertainment, inform George Clint, and let him negotiate with Wen Ziren and Ray Werner, I don't care about the latter, the former must sign a long-term cooperation agreement as much as possible." ”

Connie said, "I'll do it." ”

Ronan leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Ziren, who had not been found in the past two years, was finally going to get on the big ship of relativity entertainment.

How many films did "Chainsaw" shoot in the previous life? It seems like seven or eight, right? Because similar to "The Grim Reaper", since the fifth part, Ronan has not watched the sequels in the future, but if Lionsgate can continue to shoot one after another, this series can undoubtedly bring stable income.

is like this kind of film, because the content is too cruel, the theater box office may not be very high, but the DVD rental and sales will definitely not be bad.

There are too many similar B-grade films like this, all of which rely on the offline market to make profits.

Of course, Wen Ziren's value is not limited to "Chainsaw", after "Chainsaw" in his previous life, he seems to have messed up two horror films with a large investment, and then returned to similar B-grade horror films, which should be turned over with "Latent", and later determined the horror universe centered on "The Conjuring" and became Hollywood's premier horror film director.

And as a typical horror film director, Wen Ziren is also one of the few people who has successfully transformed into a mainstream commercial blockbuster, and the road movie "Aquaman" directed by many people is praised by many as a turnaround of DC superhero movies.

Ronan knows very well what kind of commercial value Wen Ziren contains.

The "Chainsaw" series can really establish the signboard of "Wen Ziren", and it has considerable popularity and box office appeal among the majority of fans.

And the production company is willing to work with such a director: he is skilled, talented, and can save himself money.

After dealing with Wen Ziren's matter, Ronan watched the situation of "Hero" again, and yesterday's film pulling meeting was also a test screening, and the reputation of the media was not bad.

"I don't understand Chinese, but through color, I understand Heroes. ”

"At first glance, the formal beauty of the picture is overwhelming......"

For the color and expressionism of the film, the media almost praised it.

But that's it, even if Embassy Pictures invests some resources, the media can't pay as much attention to "Hero" as they do to "The Pianist".

This is Hollywood, a film about the Jews of World War II, a magical masterpiece from the East, and the differential treatment can be imagined.

Moreover, Miramax's "Chicago", under the operation of Harvey Weinstein, is also trying to earn eyeballs.

Ronan also saw through the news that Harvey Weinstein's means to compete for the Oscar not only promoted himself, but also attacked his competitors.

Everyone in the industry can see that the most competitive film in this Oscar is undoubtedly "The Pianist" directed by Roman Polanski.

Since December, Polanski's strong health case, which has long been a cold meal for N years, has appeared in the media again, and various unfavorable news has been circulating in Hollywood circles, and some reporters even went to Hawaii to interview the victims of that year.

Why did the scandal, which had faded into oblivion, come back into view? Of course, it was due to profits.

This Oscar game, behind the glamour on the surface, still hides all kinds of confrontations.

Where there is fame and fortune, there is never a shortage of competition.

There was a knock on the door, and Connie pushed the door in and said, "Miss Horn is here." ”

"Let her come. Ronan then admonished, "Don't close the office door for a while." That way, you also stay in the office. ”

Connie went to ask Ketty Horn to come in and stayed in the office as Ronan had instructed, and although his boss often changed female companions, he was really particular about some things and didn't easily leave excuses for them.

"Hi, Coti. Ronan pointed to the sofa, "Sit casually." ”

Unlike last night's evening dress, Kotti Horn's long brown hair was simply tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and she was wearing a white jacket on the top and slim jeans on the bottom.

Taking off her makeup, she doesn't look particularly pretty, but more like a girl next door with a youthful atmosphere.

Kotty Horn took off the satchel she was carrying cross-body, sat on the couch, looked around, and said, "I can't imagine that the office of a Hollywood billionaire is so simple." ”

Ronan didn't answer her and asked, "You came by yourself?"

Kotti Horner pulled out a notebook and said, "The driver sent me here." ”

Although her family conditions are not up to the level of billionaires, they are not generally good.

Ronan smiled and said, "I thought you weren't coming." ”

"Why didn't we come?" said Ketty Horn deliberately, "How could a sensible girl like me lie to her uncle?"

Ronan's words were stiffly held back, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, too lazy to care about the title, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give it to me." ”

Kate Horn handed the notebook to Ronan: "This is the script I wrote, you can help me read it, give me more opinions, but don't hit me." ”

Ronan nodded, didn't speak, and read the script carefully.

Probably due to age limitations, Korty Horn wrote the script in the simplest format, which is just a pure script.

But Coti Horn has clearly studied this area professionally and writes very fluently, which is quite rare among his peers.

Kotty Horn was a little anxious and couldn't wait to ask, "What do you think?"

Ronan said, "Be patient, you're going to have to show me a rough idea, right?"

He quickly scanned the script, and although the script was fluent, many places were not standardized, but fortunately, people could understand what story was told.

To Ronan's surprise, it turned out to be a love story......

tells the story of a fiery girl who falls in love with a hesitant boy, and tells the beauty of first love.

At first, Ronan thought that this might be based on Ketty Horn's own experience, after all, in a place like Los Angeles, sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls have already experienced several romances, and it is not uncommon.

But no one can expect a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl to write a script well.

Frankly, it's more like a mood diary.

Ronan asked directly, "This is written based on your experience?"

"It's not. Ketty Horn shook her head busily: "How could I have experienced so much? This is based on the actual experiences of the school cheerleader and several other girls." ”

She looked at Ronan blankly, "Is what I wrote okay?"

Ronan didn't answer directly, but asked, "Has your father seen it?"

"Dad has seen it. Ketty Horn was disappointed: "Like I said yesterday, Warner Bros. has no shortage of scripts, so ......"

Seeing the full girl's expectations, Ronan decided to use a tactful way and said, "Of all the scripts I've read, this script is the best written at your age." ”

Ketty Horn was first delighted: "You still have vision. But then she came back and asked, "Uncle Anderson...... No, Ronan, have you seen a few scripts written by people my age?"

Ronan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Kottie Horn had already guessed the answer, "You've only seen me once, have you?" and she sighed, "Well, it looks like I still have to work harder." ”

Ronan said, "Kotty, you have a talent for this, keep trying in the future." ”

"Hmm. Kotty Horn already knew Hollywood well and didn't have much hope, so she quickly adjusted, saying: "I still don't have enough knowledge and experience. ”

This is undoubtedly a girl with a very clear mind, Ronan nodded and said, "I have experienced a lot, and some things come naturally when I write. ”

He suddenly thought of something else and asked, "Aren't you also interested in acting?"

Kotty Horn immediately asked, "Do you have a role for me?" ”

Ronan specifically asked, "You didn't have a role in the Warner Bros. film?"

"Nope. I didn't want to play the role of Warner Bros. Ketty Horn explains: "With my abilities, it's absolutely impossible to play an important female role, and my dad wouldn't take that risk. But the kind that acts as a backdrop is not interesting at all. The female character of the second point, if there is a suitable word, it is not impossible to try, but Dad sits in this position, once the film fails, and the news about me spreads again, there must be a lot of trouble, and Sofia Coppola is a lesson from the past. ”

Ronan said, "Koti, you are the most mature girl I have ever met. He said directly: "I have a project here about a group of high school students, and we need a lot of young actresses. ”

He found the script for "Mean Girl" and handed it to Kotty Horn: "Take a look, if you are interested, you can contact me." ”

Now Shahai Entertainment and Warner Bros. are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, which is also a means to strengthen the ties between the two sides.
