With blonde hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, Lindsay Beale's face looks very delicate, quite a bit of the style of a literary young woman, but she has worked in Shahai Entertainment for several years, and often deals with Ronan, and the influence is quite obvious, not that kind of literary style screenwriter, more inclined to business.

Lindsay Beal shoved a script in front of Ronan.

Ronan picked it up and asked, "Done?"

Lindsay Beale nodded heavily: "I have completed the task you have assigned." ”

Ronan pointed to the script and said, "I'll take a look first." ”

Lindsay Beale picked up her coffee and waited patiently.

Flipping through the script, Ronan browsed quickly, but read more carefully and seriously than the script he had read before.

This is a story based on countless real-life cases and materials, the content and theme are a bit heavy, an innocent, sunny, cheerful girl, from the very beginning of life, forced to contact a special industry, and then deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate herself, even if others want to pull out of it, but immersed in the self-compiled rich, glamorous and dazzling life, and proud of it.

At the end of the story, the girl is infected with AIDS and waits alone in a gorgeous room for death to come.

Lindsay Beale glanced at Ronan, and she put a lot of effort into the heroine and her experience, combining multiple real-life examples as the basis, and then using Hollywood's usual methods to recreate......

Ronan put down the script, closed his eyes, and thought about it again, there is no problem with the characters of several main characters, which appropriately reflects the current situation of some female groups, and the main framework of the plot conforms to the three-act structure of Hollywood scripts, with a very obvious black and heavy style.

This is also in line with the film style he confessed, and the future film must be a dark film.

Seeing Ronan open his eyes, Lindsay Beale asked expectantly, "Ronan, how is the script?"

"Very well written. Ronan still praised it first, and it was really well written, this kind of script adapted from realistic themes must not only be realistic, but also have a certain amount of artistic processing, and it is quite difficult to ensure its commercial attributes. He smiled and said, "So much preliminary work was not done in vain. ”

Lindsay Beale was not modest, but said: "The company offers me a high salary, and there is a bonus for completing a project, and my work must always be worthy of the salary." ”

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "Lindsay, if every employee in the company can be like you, Relativity Entertainment will soon grow and develop." ”

Lindsay Beale was not carried away by Ronan's compliment, and said: "You are one of the most discerning producers in the industry, in my opinion the best, the script is only a first draft, not perfect, what needs to be improved?"

Ronan said bluntly: "Can the ending be set to another version?" He only had a preliminary idea: "The heroine should not die, nor be sick, but live happily in the city of New York like a real elite." ”

"...... like that," Lindsay Beale pondered.

"I'm not asking you to do that, I'm just coming up with an idea and we'll discuss it together. Ronan didn't mean to mandatory: "What kind of ending can make the film look more interesting." ”

Lindsay Beale nodded slowly and said, "In this way, the ending will bring a kind of ironic effect. ”

Ronan picked up the glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Is there such an example in reality?"

"Yes. Lindsey Beale said, "Do you know Tita Vantis?"

Ronan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Lindsay Beale whispered: "When I was researching, I had contact with her on the spot, and she was arguably a leader in a special industry, and now she can hold a personal striptease show in the theater, and she also starred in a Champagne bath in Jeolla, and the hype boasted that it was art, which attracted a large number of wealthy enthusiasts, and thus dressed herself as a celebrity." ”

Ronan was a little surprised: "Is this okay?"

Lindsay-Beale had an idea: "There are leaders in every industry, and they can all achieve the American dream! So, why can't the heroine in our script achieve the American dream in her own way?"

Ronan had to admire: "Lindsay, your brain is too big." ”

"Being a screenwriter requires thinking outside the box. Lindsay Beale thinks it's a good idea: "The right brain hole can effectively enhance the charm of the story. ”

With some excitement, she said: "This ending is good, it is more characteristic than the traditional ending!"

Ronan thought for a moment: "You end up with this, and write another version." Others basically don't need to be changed, just change the plot of the closing stage. ”

Lindsay-Beale said: "I'm going back today and I'm going to get to work right away. ”

Ronan reminded: "The script retains two endings for the time being, and we will discuss which one to use after the project determines the director." ”

"Okay. "Lindsey Beale has no opinion.

Ronan opened his briefcase, pulled out a thick stack of printouts, handed them to Lindsay Beal, and said, "After finishing this script, you can take time out to read these when you are resting." ”

Lindsay Beal took it and said while flipping through it quickly: "I don't have to take a break, I've adjusted to it in the past few months while writing a script." ”

She seemed to see something, and said with a little surprise: "This is about the fashion industry? How does this Miranda, how does this Miranda look so much like the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine?"

"Do you know Anna Wintour?" asked Ronan.

Lindsay Beale laughed: "I'm a woman, every woman who pays attention to fashion, who doesn't read Vogue magazine?"

Seeing that she knew who Anna Wintour was, Ronan simply said: "This is a semi-autobiographical written by Anna Wintour's former assistant based on his own experience, which is under review and will be published soon." I've had people buy the rights to the film in advance, and I plan to adapt it into a workplace and fashion movie with a female theme. ”

Lindsay Beale was unequivocal, and her delicate face showed a bit of confidence: "Ronan, leave this script to me! I'm a working woman, I know a little bit about the fashion industry, and I can also collect information, and this is also a female theme that I am good at." ”

The success of "Summer of Jeans" allowed Lindsay Beal to complete the transformation of a screenwriter and add a lot of self-confidence.

Of course, Ronan will not refuse: "I will let Shahai Entertainment talk to you about the script adaptation." ”

Successful screenwriters like Lindsay Beale who have authorship rights are naturally not treated by ghostwriters who do not have authorship rights, and there will be additional project bonuses in addition to the normal salary.

It's very simple, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass.

Lindsay Beale took a rough look at the information Ronan handed her and said, "This former assistant's writing skills are very good. ”

Ronan recounted what he learned from Robert Lee: "She was originally a literary student...... Well, how do you say that? I was lucky enough to become Anna Wintour's assistant as soon as I graduated. ”

I don't know how many people envy this position.

Lindsay Bell put away the materials and asked, "When do you need me to finish it?"

Ronan said directly: "Within half a year." ”

"No problem. Lindsay-Beale did a simple calculation: "I'll deliver it at the end of March next year." ”

Ronan's plan, the project "The Demon Wears Prada" will definitely be filmed next year, which is also to coincide with the schedule of Anne Hathaway, who is still filming "The Princess Diaries 2" for Disney.

The filming of this film did not go well, the director Gary Marshall is too old, and his physical condition has not been very good, and the crew always stops filming for a period of time, and it is estimated that the intermittent filming will not be completed until next year.

According to this situation, "The Princess Diaries 2" must be the last film directed by Gary Marshall.

Because of the successful collaboration on "Summer of Jeans", Ronan originally planned to continue to work with Gary Marshall on youth idol films, but now he has no such plans.

With Gary Marshall's physical condition, he may fall on the set, and then the investigation of the directors' union alone will be a huge trouble.

Lindsay Beale seemed to be unable to wait to go back and write another ending, when she made a farewell, and before leaving, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, how are the sequels to "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shades of Gray" written?"

"The second part of the three series is all complete. Ronan said simply: "It will be published and listed at the end of the year." ”

Lindsay Beale asked again, "How was the first part selling?"

Ronan smiled and said, "It has been rising in the past two years, and its popularity has been increasing, and the worst-selling "Fifty Shades of Gray" has also sold more than 700,000 copies in North America. "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" have sold over a million copies. ”

Lindsay Beale waved to Ronan and said, "I'll go first." ”

Ronan nodded, waited for Lindsay Beale to come out of the café, and left after settling the bill.

The three series "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shades of Gray" have been outsourced to a studio ghostwriting, and Ronan doesn't have to bother too much, just wait for the right time to promote the film adaptation.

Since entering October, the focus of Embassy Pictures has shifted to "Dungeon Siege", which will be released this month.

As an epic game adaptation with a production cost of more than $3 million, coupled with the previous success of Relativity Entertainment on Uwe Bauer's "Haunted House of the Dead", Embassy Pictures developed a well-thought-out promotion plan for "Dungeon Siege" at Ronan's suggestion.

A small part of this plan is to make a fuss about the beauty of the actor Jason Statham, and more around director Uwe Bauer.

And Uwe Bauer himself is not only in favor, but also unusually positive.
