Chapter 1006: Frightened
The sun turned to the west, gradually approaching the sea level, the lights in front of the Beverly Hills clubhouse were all lit up in an instant, a black sedan stopped in front of the clubhouse, Ronan was the first to push the door and get out of the car, and then reached out to help Jessica Filton out.
"Good evening, Mr. Anderson. ”
Immediately, someone in charge of the gathering stepped forward to greet him: "Good evening, Miss Felton." ”
Ronan nodded slightly, waited for Jessica Felton to tidy up her clothes a little, and said, "Let's go inside." ”
Jessica Filton wore a simple ladies suit and entered the clubhouse with Ronan.
"You seem to have agreed to be my female companion tonight. ”
Arriving at the Grand Ballroom, Ronan turned his head to look at Jessica Filton, "It's not quite like that. ”
Jessica Felton put on a little light makeup, and in addition to her naturally excellent appearance, she highlighted the capable temperament of a professional woman, and asked, "Aren't we together?"
Ronan raised his arm and gestured with his eyes, and Jessica Felton didn't think much about it, and naturally grabbed the crook of his arm.
The two entered the banquet hall hand in hand.
It's an alumni reunion of the USC Film School, and a lot of people have already come.
Ronan, like George Lucas, belongs to the absolute core of the alumni association, even Jessica Felton, with several successful films as a producer in the past, has attracted much attention in the USC Film School Alumni Association.
Even the alumni association at this level cannot get rid of some of the usual characteristics, and the status of the individual among the many alumni is closely linked to the success of the career.
This is a commercial society, and the film industry is also a very realistic circle.
If nothing else, many of the people who attended the alumni meeting tonight alone were employees of Relativity Entertainment, that is, Ronan's employees.
Ronan made it to the front tables, where old friends like Ron Howard and Robert Zemeckis were seated.
The latter came alone, and the former took his actress daughter with him.
"Hi Ronan. Hi Jesse. ”
Several people greeted Ronan one after another, and Bryce Howard, who was a little farther away, saw Jessica Felton's hand on Ronan's arm, couldn't suppress the fire of gossip burning in his heart, and asked Ron Howard in a low voice: "These two have come together?"
Ron Howard whispered back, "Didn't hear of ......"
But he had seen these two appear together in the alumni association several times before, and the relationship was obviously extraordinary, and now that they came hand in hand, it was really easy to relate.
Bryce Howard glanced at the tall, beautiful and sexy Jessica Filton, and muttered, "I originally wanted to try to see if I had a chance, but now I can die." ”
This is more like a self-joke, but it is undeniable that Ronan Anderson's official girlfriend or wife can make people struggle for a lifetime.
Jessica Felton, as in the past, greeted a few people present alone and exchanged a few pleasantries.
When unfamiliar people see Ronan and Jessica Felton, the Metropolitan will treat Jessica Felton as a vase next to the super-rich, but Robert Zemeckis will not, they know very well that this very beautiful woman has the ability to match her appearance exactly.
"Last year's 'Juno' was very good. Robert Zemeckis smiled and said to Jessica Felton, "Jesse, you've unearthed a masterpiece. ”
Jessica Felton smiled and said, "Thank you, mainly Ronan Ken supports. ”
Ronan had just finished chatting with Ron Howard and came back and said, "I didn't do anything on this project except to agree to buy the script." ”
Suddenly, someone interjected: "It's often the most important thing to buy the script." ”
Ronan followed the sound and saw David Ellison, who was followed by a girl who was not expected to be more than twenty years old.
"Good evening, Ronan. David Ellison smiled and introduced: "This is my sister Meghan......"
They are all people from the USC Film School, and several people introduced each other and quickly became familiar with each other.
It didn't take long for Spielberg, who was the number one supernumerary member of the alumni association, to arrive.
Instead, George Lucas, the core of the alumni association, never arrived.
During the greetings, Megan Ellison came to Jessica Filton, Larry Ellison's daughter, who is currently studying at USC Film School and whose future goal is also Hollywood, is quite curious about female producers, and asked Jessica Filton a lot of questions.
There are very few female producers in Hollywood, and it can be described as rare that they can achieve great success.
George Lucas arrived late, nearly ten minutes after the reception began, before entering the ballroom.
"Sorry, late. George Lucas also came to Ronan's table: "There was a little bit of a problem on the way. ”
Ronan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jessica Filton saw George Lucas in horror and offered to pour him a glass of water.
George Lucas took the water glass, took a sip first, and nodded to Jessica Felton: "Jesse, thank you." He then replied to Ronan's question: "I came by helicopter from San Francisco, and I almost had an accident when I encountered a strong wind on the way. ”
Ronan said, "It's okay. ”
Spielberg advised: "In the future, I will still fly on a business jet." ”
George Lucas nodded: "It's time for my old plane to be phased out." ”
Ronan added, "Safety first." ”
In terms of safety, he can be said to be cautious, just talking about helicopters, he wanted to buy it several times, and even prepared to place an order for a while, but finally gave up.
If you are close, you can take a car, and if you are far away, you can use a business jet.
The biggest role of this kind of alumni association is to weave a network of relationships and increase the cohesion of this loose organization.
David Ellison pulled his sister to Jessica Felton and said: "Jesse, you are the best female producer in the circle, and Meghan also wants to develop in this direction, she has a lot of questions to ask." ”
Jessica Felton said generously: "I had a great chat with Megan just now. ”
Megan Ellison said in due course: "Jesse has inspired me a lot. ”
The two women soon went to a quiet place.
Ronan naturally got together with George Lucas, who was obviously a little frightened on the way over and didn't talk much throughout the night.
"People are getting old. George Lucas drank his water and said, "I can't stand it." ”
Ronan said with a smile: "Safety is no trivial matter, and when I encounter this kind of thing, I am more afraid than you." ”
When in danger, he is more careful than anyone else, and even dares to "coax"!
In the face of life safety, "cowardice" has never been a problem.
George Lucas forced a smile and said, "I kind of found out, sometimes it's not good to be old." He sighed: "The mentality is not stable enough, and the energy can't keep up." ”
Ronan deliberately said, "You don't want to retire, do you?"
The two had discussed this topic before, and George Lucas said directly: "I thought about it seriously, and it may not last for a few years. He thought for a moment and said, "When I finish Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 with Steven, I will carefully consider retirement." ”
"If you retire......," Ronan said sincerely, "it's a loss to the entire film industry." ”
Although George Lucas has not directed many films himself, he has always had a profound impact on the Hollywood film industry technically.
"The future is yours. George Lucas replied.
Later, Ronan had conversations with many USC alumni, which is a very large force in Hollywood, and Relativity Entertainment has won consecutive Oscars in recent years, and the support of the alumni association can also be regarded as an important factor.
In addition, many graduates of the USC Film School enter the relativistic entertainment industry after graduation, and these talents who have professional learning and practice can enter the role faster than those who are born in the wilderness.
It was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and Ronan and Jessica Filton left together.
The two got into a black Rolls-Royce, and after the car started, they drove towards Jessica Felton's house.
"What are you talking to Megan Ellison about?" Ronan asked curiously, "we talked all night." ”
Jessica Filton smiled and said, "On the production side, she's currently studying at USC Film School and wants to get into Hollywood in the future. ”
Ronan understood: "Ask you for advice?"
"I can't talk about it. Jessica Felton said: "It's just a discussion, in fact, we have a big difference on the core concept of the film, I focus on commercial films, and Megan Ellison is more interested in art films. ”
The car drove into the outskirts of Beverly Hills, gradually approaching Jessica Felton's cottage.
Ronan suddenly said, "Jesse, can you walk with me?"
Jessica Felton was puzzled, not quite understanding what Ronan meant, hesitated slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
Rolls-Royce pulled up on the side of the road, and Ronan and Jessica Filton got out of the car and walked along the sidewalk planted with tall palm trees, heading ahead.
Ronan was slow, and Jessica Felton was unhurried.
The two had been friends for many years after all, and Jessica Filton looked at Ronan and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Ronan stopped and looked at Jessica Felton with a burning eye with less obvious aggression but more decisiveness.
He has never been sticky and hesitant, and he has always made very decisive decisions in his past work and life.
Moreover, neither Ronan nor Jessica Felton are children and have a wealth of experience and social experience.
Ronan said very seriously, "Jesse, be my girlfriend, right?"
"What...... What?" Jessica Felton didn't quite believe her ears: "Ronan, what are you talking about? Not kidding?"
"Jesse!" Ronan didn't hesitate for a moment, and said again, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
This time, Jessica Filton heard it clearly and was sure that Ronan was not joking, and was a little confused for a while.
