On Monday morning, the sun was already shining brightly in Los Angeles *** people in formal attire could be seen everywhere near Century City in Forlì Hills.

They hurried through Vischelle Boulevard, yelling at the phone with a serious face or frowning in thought, in a city as casual as Los Angeles, heavily influenced by hippie culture, in stark contrast to the people in civilian clothes around them.

Marven was one of them, hurrying towards a café.

He is not a simple white-collar worker, but an important part of the entertainment industry.

In the words of some media exaggerations, they are the torchbearers who light up the sparkling stars of Hollywood, they connect the creators of art with the industrial system, and they are the lubricant for the smooth running of the giant machine of Hollywood.

In fact, it is a Hollywood agent.

Marven entered the café, took a brief look, and immediately came to the location of a blonde girl, pulled out a chair and sat opposite.

This girl is blonde and blue-eyed, with a sexy body and deadly curves, and although she doesn't look very old, she is already a typical American blonde meat bullet.

"The company meeting dragged on for a while. Marven explained simply: "Scarlett, I've kept you waiting." ”

Scarlett Johansson asked directly: "Is the box office count of "Eight-legged" out?"

This is the first time she has really tried to make a purely commercial film.

Marven didn't answer, but asked, "Didn't you read it?" and he reminded, "I sent you the statistics." ”

"Yesterday I went out to a party with friends and came back late and didn't look at my mailbox. Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but yawn: "I got up early this morning and rushed over, and I didn't have time to watch." ”

Marven frowned slightly, and persuaded: "Scarlett, you are currently on the rise, and the focus at this stage should be on your acting career, drink less, and ...... in life."

"I see. Scarlett Johansson directly interrupted the agent's words, and didn't pay attention to it at all: "I'm just partying with friends, nothing else." ”

Marven still said: "I don't want to interfere in your private life, just to give you a wake-up." ”

Although this New York girl is not very old, the chaos of her private life is simply breathtaking.

Scarlett Johansson is at the age of rebellion, and even has a nose ring on her nose, a little impatient, and said, "Okay, I know, I'll pay attention." ”

Marvin didn't want to say more, and instead answered Scarlett Johansson's previous question: "The Eight-legged Monster came out at the box office, $6.48 million. ”

"So?" Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised: "Surely not the box office champion?"

Marven shook his head: "It's not ......"

Scarlett Johansson rushed to say: "The box office champion is "Elf Mouse Brother 2"?"

"It's not. Marven was worried that the girl would steal the words again on this issue, and hurriedly said: "This week's box office champion is "Death is Coming 2", $29.7 million. ”

He added: "Elf Mouse 2 is in second place, with just over $15 million. ”

Scarlett Johansson has been in the circle for many years, but she also has some insight: "How is this possible? How can a sequel to a horror film be a sequel to a family carnival?"

Marven said casually: "There are always exceptions to everything. In the face of such a potential problem girl, he still said patiently: "Ronan Anderson's film is a big hit, it's not news." ”

Scarlett Johansson had apparently heard the name too: "Just that young producer?"

"Hmm. Marvin said: "It is widely recognized in the circle that among young producers, Ronan Anderson is the best, and his achievements in commercial films are terrifying. ”

"Can we work with him?" Scarlett Johansson is a little clever: "I heard some time ago that there is a young actress in New York who is working with Ronan Anderson. ”

Marvin said honestly: "It's not easy, we don't have a relationship with Ronan Anderson, we don't have a relationship. ”

Scarlett Johansson pulled down the nose ring and said, "It's not easy? Isn't the relationship all out of sleep? ”

Marven was speechless for a moment, but he didn't refute either, he knew that Scarlett Johansson didn't care much about this at all, to be precise, it was more casual.

The general environment of the circle is like this, how can you get on the top if you don't work hard?

Marvin knows that Scarlett Johansson's background is average except for her Jewish identity.

It's not a few people who do this, but a more common phenomenon, female stars, there is no godfather named Spielberg, no investment from parents and parents, no good family background, don't they all have to find a way to be a sleepwear director or producer?

"Not to mention Ronan Anderson, we can't get along with him anytime soon. Marven didn't think that a well-known producer would be short of women, so he changed the subject: "Scarlett, our commercial attempt this time is not a success. ”

Scarlett Johansson said directly: "What is not considered a success, it is clearly a failure." ”

Marven was too lazy to bother with such a problematic girl: "So, let's go back to the literary route for the time being." He pulled out a script and handed it to Scarlett Johansson: "I got you a chance to audition for the actress." Sofia Coppola's new film is looking for a young blonde actress to play the lead role ......"

Speaking of the new job, Scarlett Johansson finally got serious, took the script and said, "I'll be ready." ”

Marven pointed to her nose ring: "Removed all these things recently, otherwise it will affect Sofia Coppola's perception of you." ”

Scarlett Johansson could still tell the difference, waved her hand, and said, "I see." ”

"Death is Coming 2" was a big hit at the box office in the first weekend, which also ensured that Shahai Entertainment could continue to promote the sequel of the film, Ronan has reached a preliminary agreement with James Wong, and the company's legal department has begun negotiations with James Wong's agent Edward.

At the same time, James Wong once again invited his good friend Glenn Morgan to write the script for "Death 3".

Shahai Entertainment also announced the news of the return of two important original personnel in a timely manner, which is also a powerful stimulus for the release of "Death is Coming 2".

By the second weekend, "Dead Boy 2" had collected another $15.25 million in North America, and with the revenue of the previous four working days, the film's total North American box office had risen to $51.89 million.

Before this weekend, the North American screening of "Tales of the Night" ended, and the North American box office finally stopped at $79.21 million, and the global box office also exceeded $140 million.

Since overseas screenings have not yet ended, the total box office is highly expected to exceed $150 million.

"Tales of the Night 2" is also logically mentioned on the agenda.

In fact, the pre-planning of the film has been carried out under the control of Len Wiseman and the external production managers of Shahai Entertainment.

Len Wiseman hopes to complete all the filming of the film by the end of the year.

This is certainly not to say that he cares much about the time cost of Sand Sea Entertainment, but for the sake of his new girlfriend Kate Beckinsale.

In the face of the temptation of the heroine of the $160 million top-level blockbuster production, the persuasion of an irrelevant outsider like Ronan does not help much at all, and Kate Beckinsale has passed the audition for Stephen Sommers to lead actress and will soon sign a formal contract with the crew of "Van Helsing".

In order not to affect the new love's participation in the filming of top productions next year, Len Wiseman is full of energy.

This is also in line with Ronan's request, "Tales of the Night 2" must be released before "Van Helsing", otherwise the latter may drag down his own film.

Ronan also approached Brian, the head of the screenwriting department, to discuss another project.

"Create a new script based on the Grim Reaper series. Ronan said directly: "The pattern is like "Scream" and "Scream". ”

Brian immediately understood: "Is it a funny version of 'The Grim Reaper'?"

Ronan roughly said: "The title of the film is called "The Grim Reaper is Gone", the theme is that the Grim Reaper wants to harvest the lives of the fugitives, and he can't kill people by creating many accidents, which makes jokes on this basis. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not good at writing funny things, and you have to do it." ”

Brian jotted it all down in his notebook and said, "No problem. He asked, "When will the project be planned?"

Ronan pondered slightly: "Wait for the release of "Death is Coming 3". ”

Another release can expand the influence of the series, and during this time, it can also be played on DVD and TV to attract fans, and after the release of the third part, the series will inevitably cause a certain amount of aesthetic fatigue, after all, this model is very solidified, and this series will definitely be shelved for a while.

This interval is just filled with a funny version.

Brian then said, "I'll move people to do the preliminary work first. ”

Ronan nodded first, and then reminded: "Let's look at the success patterns of "Scream" and "Scream". ”

It's arguably one of the best series to do a horror-to-spoof turn.

There are successful models, of course, to learn from.

After Brian left, Ronan was still thinking about this aspect, and perhaps he could also add some classic spoofs in "Death is Gone", such as a person who escaped from the pursuit of death got on a cruise ship and fell in love with a rich girl at first sight, and in order to kill him, Death did not hesitate to transfer icebergs in the direction of the ship, and finally the rich girl sank into the sea, and the poor boy survived......

The plot on the cruise can also be interspersed with various spoof plots, such as Jaws, piranhas, etc.

Jot down these jumbled thoughts in a computer memo, and Ronan plans to wait until he has collected more of them before sending them to Brian.

Connie knocked on the door and walked in, placing an invitation on the desk, saying, "Mr. Lord of the CAA has invited you to a dinner party. ”

Ronan opened it and glanced at it, and said, "You reply to Lorde, and I will participate." He continued, "Connie, you collect some information about the Dark Horse comics and give it to me by the end of the week." ”
