In mid-October, Relativity Entertainment released a film in North America that took nearly three years from preparation to filming to release.

This is an original project, in order to create the script, Lindsay Beale not only spent more than half a year to prepare, but also went deep into a special group to do practical research, and truly experienced the ecology of that circle.

Many circles, when they are outside, they can't see the operation characteristics and industry situation clearly, and only by going deep into them can they have an understanding.

Therefore, Lindsay Beale's thorough preparation has laid a foundation that can stand up for the film project.

When David Fincher signed the director's contract, Lindsay Beale assisted David Fincher in doing a lot of practical research work, and the crew even funded the authorization of several real people in order to avoid copyright conflicts.

Those women who dare to sell themselves for money don't care at all about selling their experiences and making another profit.

For many women, as long as the first step is crossed, they will only fall deeper and deeper.

Not everyone can find an honest person to take over.

Besides, where are there so many honest men in this world?

Lindsay Beale once said that the circle has a very terrible and almost crazy ability to assimilate, and after spending a lot of time with those people, watching their easy way of earning money and luxurious and luxurious life, it is inevitable to have some thoughts that should not be there.

You can earn money by lying down, but it's hard to stand up again.

There is a sentence that can describe the mentality of people in this industry - grasping the pillow and holding on to the wall, the pain is always better than a part-time job.

As one of the oldest industries of mankind, it is difficult to look at those people with normal social values.

Maybe the person who went down that path, like Lindsey Beal's classmates, didn't care what other people thought of her.

Although the film tells the story of an industry hidden in the dark, it has a shining name itself - "Sunshine Girl"!

Director David Fincher is a director who has never liked to go the bright road.

The premiere of "Sunshine Girls" was held in Los Angeles, and many people came to cheer due to the presence of David Fincher, and the heroine Rachel McAdams also brought her boyfriend Ryan Gosling.

Invited by a friend, Jessica Felton came to the premiere alone.

"Where's Ronan?"

In front of the theater door, Lindsay Beale looked at Jessica Felton alone and asked, "Didn't he come?"

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "He can't come, Robert Iger called him in New York, he went to New York the day before yesterday to deal with some work related to Wall Street." ”

Lindsay Beale was a little disappointed: "The initiator of "Sunshine Girl" was Ronan, and he was the one who put the project in my hands, but I didn't expect him to even come to the premiere. ”

Jessica Filton was relieved: "He's a guy who forgets everything when he's busy with work. ”

"yes. Lindsay Beale also knows Ronan a little: "When you're busy at work, you often throw your girlfriend aside." ”

Jessica Felton laughed and said, "I'm about the same as him. ”

Lindsay Beale smiled and said, "Okay, knowing that you guys have a good relationship, don't make me envious." ”

Jessica Felton pointed to the door of the theater: "Okay, I'll go in first." ”

Entering the theater, Jessica Felton met Thomas, the director of theatrical distribution at Embassy Pictures, and although the two were not very familiar, they knew each other and had a brief chat.

When Thomas left, a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair approached him.

"Hi Jesse. "The middle-aged woman seems to be very familiar with Jessica Felton.

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Jessica Filton turned her head to look at it, a decent smile on her face, and said, "Good evening, Coty, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

The middle-aged woman who came in was Diablo Coty, the screenwriter of Jessica Felton's film project "Juno," which she previously worked as a producer.

The two have worked together once, they are more familiar with each other, and their relationship is not bad.

Diablo Coty saw people coming in from the outside, and said in a low voice, "Jesse, can we have a separate chat in another place?"

Jessica Felton was a little strange and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"There's a little thing. Diablo Coty smiled and said, "I want to talk to you alone." ”

Jessica Felton is not the kind of super tech nerd who doesn't understand the world, especially since the official relationship with Ronan, he has also made a lot of efforts in this regard, and Diablo Coty is also an acquaintance who has had a successful cooperation, and immediately said: "You come with me." ”

Finding the staff at Embassy Pictures, Jessica Filton asked the other party to take them into a break room.

"It's just the two of us. Jessica Filton sat down on the couch and said, "Coty, you can just talk about it." ”

Diablo-Coty thought for a moment and said, "The success of Juno has helped me a lot. Jesse, I haven't said thank you all this time. ”

Jessica Felton said generously: "We are working together and we both want to succeed, you are too polite. ”

"No, no, I'm really grateful to you. Diablo Coty's voice changed abruptly and said, "After the success of Juno, I had enough qualifications to officially join the Writers Guild. ”

Hearing the name Writers Guild, Jessica Filton suddenly remembered what Lindsay Beale had said a few days ago, as well as some things that Ronan had mentioned.

It seems that there have been a lot of troubles surrounding the screenwriters' guild lately.

She cheered herself up, and there was also a suspicion that Diablo Coty might have come for another purpose.

Diablo Coty looked at Jessica Felton and said, "Jesse, you also know that with the union, our rights and interests are more secure. ”

Jessica Felton smiled, but didn't answer.

Diablo-Coty thought of the solemn request of the president of the Screenwriters Guild and felt that he enjoyed the rights of the union and should fulfill the obligations of union members.

Besides, if she can really achieve her goal, it will also be of great benefit to her.

"Recently, there have been a lot of troubles around the screenwriters' union, the actors' union and the directors' union. Diablo Coty said tentatively: "I don't know if you've heard, there's a possibility of an industry-wide strike in Hollywood." ”

Jessica Felton said: "I've heard rumors about this. ”

Diablo Coty said seriously: "It's not a rumor, I don't know much about the Screen Actors Guild and the Directors Guild, but the Writers Guild is really preparing for a strike. ”

"I'm not a member of the Writers Guild. Jessica Felton reminded.

Instead, she is part of a coalition of producers.

As if he hadn't heard Jessica Felton, Diablo Coty continued: "Once a strike happens, it's not just the writers but the producers who will suffer. Jesse, we're all part of the industry, and no one is immune. ”

Her words were not unreasonable: "I don't want a strike, and you don't want to, do you? And the people who follow you behind the scenes, no one wants to see a strike, right?"

Jessica Felton still smiled and didn't answer.

"I am here today because you and Relativity Entertainment have given me the opportunity, and I have always been very grateful. Diablo-Coty is grateful: "My partnership with Relativity Entertainment not only brought me the success of Juno, but also opened my eyes to another thing, Relativity Entertainment is the busiest company in Hollywood, and if a strike happens, Relativity Entertainment will have a huge loss." ”

These words do sound very reasonable, and if an industry strike does happen, there will be at least a dozen projects of Relativity Entertainment that will be shut down.

Jessica Felton can think of that, but it's equally clear that Ronan can think of it too.

Diablo Coty looked at Jessica Felton in thought and added to the fire: "I don't want to see the relativistic entertainment that gave me the opportunity to succeed lose in vain, or even cut off the good momentum because of it." From a personal point of view, I can't accept such a thing. ”

She said with emotion: "Although my power is very small, I have been working hard, trying to contact everyone in the circle to stop this bad thing from happening. I think that's also going to help with relativity entertainment. ”

Jessica Felton said: "I don't want to see a strike happen either. ”

Hearing this, Diablo Coty seemed encouraged: "Jesse, join in, let's work together." ”

"How can you work hard?" Jessica Felton shook her head slowly: "This kind of thing, personal power is very limited, and I can't see the direction of effort." ”

Diablo-Coty slowed down: "I think there's a way to avoid the worst. She straightened her face: "Jesse, you have a huge influence on Relativity Entertainment, if you can help Relativity Entertainment take the lead in reaching an agreement with the union organization, even if the strike happens, it will not affect you." ”

This is a rather euphemistic statement, but it also represents the fact that the Producers' Union is made up of multiple Hollywood forces, and it is not impossible for one of them to reach an agreement with the union organization alone.

Jessica Felton smiled: "You overestimate me, Coty, I'm just a producer, and I'm only in charge of the film's production, and I don't have the authority to participate in other aspects of the matter, and I won't be involved." ”

The meaning of this refusal is very obvious, but Diablo Coty does not give up: "Jesse, you underestimate your influence too much......"

Jessica Felton raised her hand to stop Diablo Coty from continuing, standing up: "I'm just a part-time worker. ”

Even a screenwriter like Lindsay Beale doesn't want to mix, let alone a producer like her, an editor?

Why did this Diablo Coty come to her? Jessica Filton isn't stupid, and it's not because of Ronan's connections.

Let her blow the pillow wind to Ronan?

Jessica Filton isn't that stupid, and when it comes to relativistic entertainment business, she never gives a word.
