This heavyweight black woman, no matter the face, or the name, Ronan is quite unfamiliar, but Brian Lord can introduce him, presumably a capable person.

Ronan also shook hands and exchanged a few words with her, showing great respect and politeness.

For film company owners, a capable person means money and gains.

There are fewer black directors in Hollywood, and even fewer female directors, and female black directors can only be said to be extremely rare.

Ronan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of the name of a famous female black director.

Not only directors, but also in the industry, there are very few black women.

It's no surprise that an industry that doesn't hire black female directors has similarly lacked similar leaders in the investment and distribution sectors.

If nothing else, in this banquet hall tonight, looking at the past, there are very few black women.

Brian Lord had something to do and went somewhere else, and Ronan wanted to leave, but the black woman kept asking questions.

"I've seen some of your messages. "Actually, we're alumni, I got my master's degree at USC. ”

Alumni can be said to be very important relationships, Ronan asked, "You studied at film school?"

Shonda Rhames said with a smile: "Film Academy and Faculty of Letters. She further said, "I mainly studied the art of production and screenwriting. ”

Ronan said: "I also went to film school, but unfortunately I didn't finish it. ”

The Southern California alumni relationship brought the two closer together, and Ronan chatted for a while about USC with Shanda Rhames, who attended the USC Film School a few years before him and took classes with Ronan's mentor, Professor Johnson.

To Ronan's surprise, Shonda Rhames actually knew Jessica Felton.

"I met Jessica at an alumni meeting. Shanda Remes said simply, "Later we worked on a crew. I was the screenwriter of "Red Blood", and Jessica had just graduated and was interning in the post-production department of the crew. ”

Ronan said with a smile: "USC alumni have a lot of people in Hollywood. ”

The most famous is George Lucas.

USC graduates are also a relatively loose force in Hollywood.

Strictly speaking, Steven Spielberg is also a member of the USC Alumni Association.

"The 2001 USC Alumni Association in Hollywood is almost here, and you can go to it," Shonda Remes said. ”

"Hmm. Ronan also wants to expand his network, and USC alumni are a great platform: "I'll definitely go then." ”

Since Jessica Felton has been, when and where it is, just ask her.

After a long day of relationships and the identity of alumni, Shonda Remus gradually began to show her true intentions.

Maybe it's true that blacks are unsuited for high-tech and creative work, as the legend suggests, but there are always exceptions.

Shonda Remus is obviously a shrewd person, and according to Ronan's guess, she found this side before, most likely with a purpose, otherwise she would not have come up to get closer to USC alumni.

Ronan is not disgusted, Hollywood produces countless film and television works every year, even if the proportion of success is not large, but there are many of them.

There are many works that one person has seen, and it is all too common for those who have only seen it once to forget or have a confused memory.

It is a good thing to take the initiative to ask him to attract investment or discuss projects.

One of the purposes of Ronan's investment in an external project like "Resident Evil" is to tell Hollywood people that Shahai Entertainment not only invests in internal projects, but also accepts external projects.

Shonda Rhames's conversation gradually shifted to Shahai Entertainment: "The movies your production company makes are masterpieces, and I have watched each one more than twice. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Thank you for your support." ”

"Does your company only make movies?" asked Shanda Rhames suddenly.

Ronan immediately realized that the Shonda Rems problem was key, saying, "For the time being, there is only a film production business, but TV dramas, variety shows, and animation programs, the company is also trying. ”

Shonda Rhames nodded and said, "I have an idea for a TV series, which I have had since 1998 when I was writing the script for "Red Blood", and I have thought more about it in the past few years, but it ......"

She shook her head slightly and pointed to her dark face: "No one cares what a black female screenwriter thinks. ”

Ronan even fooled the Arabs, and said at the right time: "Talent has nothing to do with identity. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shonda Remes immediately looked at Ronan, saw him with a serious face, sighed, and said, "There are too few people who think like you. ”

Ronan is very polite to everyone who comes to him to recommend a project, what if the other party's project is valuable?

There are too many Hollywood film and television works that have ideas and even scripts for many years before they come out, but they continue to circulate and only find investors or producers after many years.

Ronan said calmly: "The social environment is changing, and as long as you work hard, the situation will always improve." ”

"Hmm. "I talked to a lot of people in the production department of the company, even with the creative agents at CAA, but they weren't interested, and no one thought the idea of a black woman was valuable," Shonda Rhames said. ”

"You know what, Shanda?" Ronan said with a smile, "The projects I worked on were all looked down upon by big companies, but in the end they succeeded in the hands of me and my company. ”

He encouraged, "Shonda, tell us what you think." ”

Shonda Rhames seemed to organize the language, and pondered for a moment before she said, "Have you seen Gray's Anatomy?"

Ronan thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "No, is this?" or ......"

Shonda Remes explains: "Anatomical writings. ”

Hearing that it was a medical work, Ronan was sure that he couldn't have read it.

"When I was in high school and college, I spent a lot of time volunteering in hospitals, and I was particularly interested in doctors and medicine. "Then I watched Grignard's Anatomy and had the idea to create a medical work. ”

Ronan asked tentatively, "Movie?"

Shonda Rhames said, "No, it's an episode. The movie is limited in space and is not very suitable, and the TV series is the most suitable. ”

Hearing that it was a TV series, Ronan frowned and thought for a while, among the American dramas he watched in his previous life, there were many that seemed to be doctors, and medical dramas could be said to be a major category of American dramas, such as "The Story of the Emergency Room", which is still very popular.

"Can you elaborate on your thoughts?" Ronan asked.

Shonda Remes smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just an assumption now, because there is no company to respond, and I haven't created it yet." ”

Ronan encouraged, "It's okay, let's just communicate." ”

For the sake of copyright considerations, it is impossible for Shonda Remes to be too careful, but simply said two sentences: "It mainly tells the story of a group of handsome men and beautiful doctors who work hard, starting from interns and continuing to attending doctors." ”

These words are quite general.

Ronan felt that this idea might be very valuable, and said, "Shonda, can you do this? You try to write a script, and then we will discuss it carefully, and if it can be produced, Shahai Entertainment can invest in the production." ”

Shonda Rhames came to Ronan to pitch her idea, and immediately responded: "Yes, I'll make relevant preparations when I go back, it may take a little longer." "It requires very specialized medical knowledge and rigorous logic," she explains. ”

Ronan nodded lightly and said, "It's okay for a long time, I can wait for you." Shonda, my promise always works. But one thing I want to make clear in advance is that according to what you just said, this is a medical drama, not a bloody love drama between young men and women dressed in the guise of a medical drama. ”

If it is the latter, the value will be greatly reduced, Ronan has seen too many bloody idol dramas dressed in medical dramas in his previous life, and the type positioning does not match the actual content, and after it comes out, there will be a lot of scolding, and it will soon hit the street.

Shonda Rhames assured: "It's going to be a professional and rigorous medical drama. ”

Ronan left his contact information with Shonda Remus and said, "You can call me as you can, just come to me if you have a problem, and if I'm not there, I'll let someone from the company help you." ”

As a black woman and a woman, Shonda Remes rarely received such attention, saying, "I would put aside other work and write the outline and part of the script for the show, and if I could, I would like you to help me with the legal aspects and get a professional lawyer to help me register my copyright with the Copyright Office." ”

This is also a kind of temptation, there are too many messes in the circle, and sometimes we have to guard against them.

Ronan happily responded: "No problem. What about Zeitelli?"

"Yes. "Shonda Remus is completely relieved.

This is one of the most reputable law firms in the industry.

After agreeing to meet with Shonda Remes next week at Sand Sea Entertainment to discuss more details, Shonda Remes took her leave and left.

Ronan is well aware that this requires patience, and that it often takes months or more for a screenwriter to turn an idea into a script.

After the reception, Ronan and Tom Cruise left together, and before leaving the banquet hall, they met Nicole Kidman, who had become strangers to the former golden boys.

But in the Hollywood circle, you can't see each other at all.

And Tom Cruise's "Island Cry", which starred Nicole Kidman, has just completed filming, and post-production will be carried out later, and Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, as producers, will inevitably continue to deal with each other next.

It's a pity that although this film has Tom Cruise's investment, the producer is Miramax, who is now a subsidiary of Walt Disney, and Ronan is interested in the release of this film, but it is difficult to start.
