Out of the World City Mall, Ronan waited for David to drive the car over and asked the girl next to him, "Amanda, I'll send you back?"

Amanda Seyfried looked at the huge electronic timer above the mall's main entrance and said, "Okay. ”

The black Bentley Yachs slowly drove over at this time, Ronan pulled the door to let Amanda Seyfried into the car first, then went around to the other side to get into the car, and asked, "Where do you live now?"

Amanda Seyfried said, "Burbank, my mom's rented house over there. ”

The car started, Amanda looked at the decoration in the car curiously, and asked, "Ronan, this car is very expensive, right?"

"Hmm. Ronan just replied casually, without saying much.

Amanda Seyfried was not inhibited, looking at this place and touching it with curiosity, after all, she was only a girl who was not even sixteen years old.

When his curiosity was almost gone, Ronan asked, "Do you have a goal in high school?"

"Yes. Amanda Seyfried's energy turned back to Ronan, leaning back in her comfy chair and saying, "I'm going to be able to grab the cheerleader in my first semester." ”

Ronan was speechless for an instant, this goal was too much to pursue.

But look at Amanda Seyfried, blonde, pretty and sexy, and a natural cheerleader.

Amanda smiled and said, "I'm kidding you, Ronan." She said proudly, "I don't play with those little kids." ”

I feel that those people are too low-level, and they will only show off a little cleverness among their peers.

As the car entered Burbank and turned into the neighborhood where Mrs. Seyfried had rented a house, Ronan added, "If you're in trouble at school, you can call me." ”

"Hmm. Amanda answered.

When the car stopped, she picked up the file bag containing the script and got out of the car, turned around and waved to this side: "Goodbye, Ronan." ”

"Goodbye. Ronan waved to her.

Back at home, Amanda saw that her mother wanted to be cross-examined, so she preemptively stuffed the document bag to her.

Mrs. Seyfried was surprised and asked, "What is this?"

Amanda said with a little girlish pride: "Ronan gave me the script, he said that the heroine in it is very suitable for me, you can take a look first." ”

Mrs. Seyfried immediately put everything else behind her, flipped through the script, and the more she read it, the more she felt that the story was too good and seemed to fit Amanda at this stage.

By the time Ronan returned to Beverly Hills' futuristic world, it was already dark.

"Sir. Nikia, the housekeeper, sent an invitation: "This is specially sent by Mr. Jerry Katzenberg's assistant. ”

Ronan took it and looked at it and said, "I see." ”

It's an invitation to the premiere of "The Princess Diaries," and Disney Studios will hold a premiere for the romantic fairy tale film next week, after Jared Katzenberg promised to help him get an invitation to the premiere.

After reading the invitation, Ronan thought for a while, and said: "Nikia, I plan to hold a small banquet in half a month, there are not many people, about seven or eight, the type of friend gathering, you can plan it." ”

Nikia immediately responded, "Okay." I'll get started. ”

Ronan added: "The wine consumed in the cellar, remember to replenish it at any time. ”

"Yes. Nikia replied.

Ronan put away the invitation, didn't say anything more, and went to the study on the second floor to deal with the backlog of work emails in the past two days.

Many people from Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures sent emails recommending the director of "Hurricane Rescue", but there was no candidate that Ronan felt suitable for the long list.

George Clint met with Johnny Depp's agent, Gracie Jacob, and there was no reply from Johnny Depp's side about Captain Jack Sparrow.

Gore Wibinski is very interested in directing a major A-list production, but he is limited to a contract with DreamWorks for the director of "Midnight Bells", and he will not be able to really talk about the directorship until February or March next year.

In the email sent by Dinah's lawyer, Ronan's personal foundation and film investment fund have passed the legal review, and there are no more legal obstacles, and all that remains is to wait.

Scott needs Ronan to sign some of the relevant fund agreements in person, and wants to invite Ronan to his home.

Shahai Entertainment has already made several contacts with Liam Neeson and is hopeful of turning the contact into a formal contract negotiation.

Alan Albert of Embassy Pictures' Overseas Distribution Department sent an email to routinely report the box office figures of several overseas films: "Spy" grossed $92.19 million overseas, "Shrek" grossed $178.95 million overseas, and "Fatal Bend" had a limited time to be released overseas, and the overseas box office is currently just over $10 million.

Random House routinely reports on sales of The Twilight Scar, which has sold a total of 180,000 copies.

Judith from the bank sent an email asking if Relativity Entertainment needed a new loan......

Ronan replied one by one, and after handling the email, he carefully read the list of directors recommended by the two companies, and took the script of "Hurricane Rescue" and read it carefully.

This series is extremely valuable, and it can also be summed up in the genre of small and large.

In terms of production budget, $20 million is enough, or even not used, after all, Liam Neeson's salary is not high, and most of the funds are actually spent on filming and production.

As for Amanda Seyfried, it is only tens of thousands of dollars.

But the director's words......

Ronan vaguely remembered that the writer and producer of "Hurricane Rescue" was Luc Besson, and the director was French, and the specific name had long been forgotten.

And it's only 2001, so I guess the director is still a novice.

Fortunately, there is more time, and I also have cooperation with companies such as CAA and William Morris, so I can slowly find a suitable director.

There will also be recommendations from the brokerage company.

Looking at the script of "Hurricane Rescue", Ronan suddenly thought of a related review he had read in his previous life, saying that it was a problem with the couple's perception of the world.

In real life, there are quite a few women who do not understand their husbands' sensitivity, stubbornness, and vigilance, and their evaluation of their husbands in front of outsiders is: "Hey...... That old wooden man, who doesn't understand anything, is like a psychotic every day, so don't pay attention to him. ”

Why is this so? Because many women don't have much opportunity to see the dark side of the world, and when they do, they may be deeply immersed in it.

When these women regret not listening to their husbands, it's too late to cry.

Men have different perceptions of the world, and sometimes women just don't understand it, and that's because there is no suitable situation to tell women.

Frankly speaking, Ronan has some understanding of his father's mentality, and although he was alone in his previous life, he has also seen the anger and helplessness of his colleagues because of vaccines and other issues.

It is estimated that many parents must have had the idea of killing people at that time.

The phone rang at this time, and the housekeeper Nikia called, saying that someone had come to visit.

When Ronan went down to the living room on the first floor, he saw a little strange that it was James Wong.

"Hi James. Ronan hurriedly went over to shake his hand: "I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Although the two parties did not continue to cooperate after "Human Erasure Project 2", and James Huang also switched to the arms of Sony Entertainment, there was no contradiction between them, and the previous cooperation was also pleasant.

James Huang said with a smile: "I happened to be walking from around here, and I took the liberty to come to visit on a temporary basis." ”

Ronan waved his hand: "We are old friends, there is no need to be so polite." He gestured to the couch: "James, sit casually." ”

Waiting for James Huang to sit down, Ronan asked someone to bring black tea and said, "Long time no see, is the work still going well?"

"Everything was fine. James Wong said with a smile: "The film "Cosmic Pursuit" that I worked with Revolution Studios under Sony Entertainment has been fully filmed and produced. ”

Ronan said sincerely, "Congratulations." ”

This is the mainstream commercial production of James Wong's dream, and if it succeeds, it will get rid of the identity of a horror film director.

The production cost is 50 million US dollars, and the investment is quite large, and Shahai Entertainment's production budget on "Spy Shadow" is only that.

"Thank you. James Wong said.

Ronan added: "Hopefully we still have a chance to work together." ”

In several collaborations, James Wong has actually left a good impression on him, as a director who knows how to save money, has a precise control over film scripts, and is also good at creating intense dramatic conflicts with small scenes.

But the premise of these is that James Wong directs a horror thriller.

The two chatted for a while, and James Huang said: ""Cosmic Pursuit" was released in early November, and I came here this time to tell you by the way, I must go to the premiere when I have time. ”

Ronan immediately replied, "As long as time permits, I will definitely be there." ”

"I won't bother. James Wong said goodbye at the right time: "Ronan, we are in constant contact. ”

Ronan sent James Wong to the door and said, "Keep in touch." ”

Watching James Huang drive away, Ronan returned to the living room, if "Cosmic Pursuit" did not achieve the expected results, maybe Shahai Entertainment really had a chance to cooperate with James Huang again.

Having said that, the sequel to "The Grim Reaper is Coming" does need a director with a relatively stable point.

But Ronan also knows that many directors are stubborn or even very stubborn people, who will not give up and change easily, and it is difficult to listen to the persuasion of others.

And a relationship like his relationship with James Wong, talking too much is not good, and it may cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

Ronan can only try his best to keep James Huang in the horror thriller realm, and the rest is not easy to interfere with, but hopefully he will not be interested in a weird film like "Dragon Ball".

What was the mentality of the investors and filmmakers of the Dragon Ball live-action movie? James Wong was self-defeating at that time or something else?

Truth be told, it's a game adaptation of Uwe Bauer.
