"You haven't responded to my manuscript email for more than three weeks. ”

In the office, Lindsay Beale said to Ronan with a slightly delicate face, "Have you read those manuscripts?"

Ronan put down what he was doing and said, "I just finished reading it yesterday, so I'm looking for you to discuss it." ”

Lindsay Beale was also familiar with Ronan, and knew that this was a mild-mannered person, and asked, "Is there anything in the manuscript that needs to be revised?"

"Overall it was good. "Ronan has just read the manuscript, the first "Twilight" is nearly halfway through the work, and it can be said that Lindsay Beale is very fast and efficient. He told the truth: "Lindsay, you wrote a much better manuscript than I expected. ”

"Thank you. "Lindsay Beale is very happy that the work has been recognized.

Ronan gave the young employee timely encouragement: "Non-mainstream pagan civilizations, various folk beliefs, myths and legends, are all reflected in your manuscript, and there are also a variety of contradictory forces to fight, which also enhances the attractiveness of the story, the love between humans and vampires, the competition between vampires and werewolves, the competition between vampire families, etc., are all written very interesting." ”

Lindsay Beale had a clear smile on her lips.

Ronan only provided an outline skeleton, and the book asked Lindsey Beal to continue to fill in the flesh and asked, "You're nearly halfway through the story, do you have any more ideas?" ”

Inspired by Ronan's words, Lindsay Beale thought for a moment and said, "The poignant love between Bella, a human girl, and Edward the vampire is the main thread of the story, and this taboo story of pure love is like the forbidden fruit of Eden, sweet and bitter, and full of contradictions. ”

Ronan nodded slightly, and in his impression, the focus of this series is the entanglement of men and women who love to death.

Lindsay-Beale continued: "I think that on the one hand, Bella has no hesitation in her love for Edward, and on the other hand, as a human being, she is full of fear of the Blood, and Edward's love for Bella is full of contradictions. Bella was his longing for his soulmate for a century, but the nature of a vampire, the desire for blood, prevented him from getting closer. He loves Bella and wants to protect her as much as he wants to suck her blood. ”

"Not bad. The young female gunner is of a fair level, Ronan said, "We think about the same thing. ”

The most feared thing is that the gunman and the hired person have different ideas, and what they write is all scrap.

Lindsay Beale seems to be a bit fanatical: "The metaphor of the lion falling in love with the lamb can vividly dissect the hot and contradictory, stoic and affectionate love between the two." ”

It seems that young women are infinitely yearning for this kind of love.

Lindsay Bill's beautiful eyes straightened: "Great love should be like the Little Mermaid, for the sake of the beloved prince, without considering all practical issues such as race and results, in the face of true love, no problem can stop the pace of true love." ”

Hearing this, Ronan didn't know what to say, no wonder so many young girls in his previous life were poisoned by "Twilight", and even Lindsay Beal, the gunman, seemed to be infected.

What a beautiful love fantasy.

Once upon a time, he also belonged to one of them, but unfortunately this stage was experienced in a previous life, and it was impossible to do it all over again.

What Lindsay Beale said is undoubtedly in his favor, and Ronan certainly agrees: "It can be reflected in it. ”

"Okay, okay!" Lindsay-Beale didn't expect Ronan to be so happy.

This is much more free than when I was a gunman in those small crews before, and the team leaders of those script teams gave rigid rules one by one, but if anything written is a little beyond the rules and regulations, they will be reprimanded.

Now it's written, not a script, so Ronan is not so strict, and asks, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Lindsay Beale added: "The setting of the heroine. You didn't write in too much detail before, but I made some additions and set her as an ordinary and ordinary high school student. ”

"Not bad. Ronan complimented, "Lindsay, you have a talent for business writing. ”

He asked, "Tell me what you think?"

Lindsay-Beale organized the language and said, "I think that setting Bella as an ordinary and ordinary high school girl will make Bella the ideal protagonist in a love story, because she, like many girls, is ordinary, ordinary but cute, and can make many female readers find their own shadow in Bella." ”

After listening to these words, Ronan couldn't help but look at Lindsay Beale seriously, what he said before was very thoughtful, but it was not as good as the last point.

A successful business writer or screenwriter must know how to grasp the psychology of ordinary audiences.

The value of this female gunslinger is not limited to ghostwriting.

The team of screenwriters recruited lacks a leader, and it may expand in the later stage, and personnel will inevitably come in and out, and a suitable project manager is needed, and it must be an expert.

Maybe Lindsay Beale is the right fit?

If the cooperation is good in the future, and the other party still has the idea of continuing to cooperate, you can let her try.

Ronan discussed the prologue and Bella's dreams with Lindsay Beal, and when it was almost half past ten in the morning, he said, "Write as you say, and we'll talk about it when you're done." ”

"Good. "Lindsay Beale is excited.

Ronan gave her a certain amount of freedom, and this is because Lindsay Beale has grasped the key, as long as she writes along this line, the details may change, but the inner core and main plot will not be problematic.

After glancing at the time, Ronan left the company, first went to a nearby mall to buy a few small gifts, and then drove his Cadillac to the Blunkett neighborhood of Los Angeles.

A few days ago, Scott of Merrill Lynch invited Ronan to his house, and Ronan agreed.

The Blunkett neighborhood is also one of the wealthy neighborhoods in Los Angeles, certainly not as good as Beverly Hills, but it's also a villa-based community.

Scott's home is a small detached villa with front and back yards, covering an area of several hundred square meters, and the main building is a small white European-style three-story building.

"I just bought it this month. Scott greeted Ronan with a smile, "I wanted to invite you over to the party when I moved, and you're not in Los Angeles." ”

Ronan handed the gift to Scott's blonde wife and said, "I went on a business trip to London and stayed there for more than half a month. He looked at the exquisitely decorated living room: "Can you show me around your new home?"

Scott immediately led the way and led Ronan around the house.

This kind of detached villa has plenty of space, enough distance from the left and right neighbors, even if the home is a little messy, it will not disturb the neighbors, and it is quieter than the building apartment.

After seeing Scott's new home, Ronan couldn't help but have the idea of changing houses, but thinking that it was the beginning of the 2000s, and the stock market might collapse at some point, and it would inevitably trigger a chain economic reaction, so it would be better to wait for a while.

Ronan returned to the living room and complimented, "Beautiful house." ”

Scott's wife, Andrea, answered: "The mortgage is scary too. ”

Several people laughed.

With Scott's financial resources, of course, he can't pay off the full amount of such a large house at once, and people here have mortgages and credit cards that are the norm, and loans are normal.

Ronan speculated that maybe the down payment on the house would include Scott's cut from his stock deals.

A week ago, all of his stock income arrived, and after deducting taxes and middlemen's commissions, he invested $14 million twice and finally received $48.5 million.

Turnover Tax, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax...... It seems that the tax office is the big winner.

The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded at this time, a man and a woman ran down the stairs, the little girl running in front was round, her face was chubby, and the little boy in the back was not too reckless, and he was also a standard little fat man.

"Mr. Anderson. The girl came up to Ronan and said politely, "Thank you, Banjo." ”

Ronan smiled, "Call me Ronan." He reached out and rubbed the girl's curly blonde hair: "Taylor, you're welcome, you can like it." ”

Taylor tilted his head to look at Ronan, "How do you know I like banjo?"

Ronan immediately threw the pot to Scott, "I heard your dad talk about it once. ”

Taylor smiled and said, "I love your gift, thank you." Then, she stretched out her round arm and pulled the equally round little boy behind her: "Austin ......"

The boy was a little shy, but at the urging of his sister, he said, "Thank you." ”

When it was time for lunch, the hostess invited Ronan into the dining room, and Ronan was not polite, sitting at the table, and it could be seen that Scott was interested in getting closer to him, obviously wanting to develop him into a long-term customer.

After chatting about family anecdotes, Scott's topic inevitably turned to investment: "Ronan, don't you plan to invest such a large amount of money? Now the market situation is very good, it is rising every day, and the money invested today may even benefit 10% tomorrow." I put all my money into the stock market, and believe me, Ronan!

Ronan has read the relevant information to some extent, and knows that now the Nasdaq and Internet stocks have gone crazy.

While it's a bit strange that the Nasdaq hasn't shown signs of crashing yet, he's definitely not going to throw any more money into it.

"I'm not going to touch the stock market again anytime soon. Ronan saw that the Scott family was good to him, and reminded slightly: "Scott, you know more about the stock market than I do, is this situation normal now? I think that the income that can be obtained is the real income, and the wealth in the stock market will shrink at any time." ”

Scott insisted: "There won't be a problem in the short term. ”

Ronan said that he did not mention this topic again, and after the luncheon, he talked to the host and his wife for a while, and then took his leave.
