As if thinking about the situation of that day again, Amanda Seyfried whispered: "I never thought that the bad guys were so close to me, and a respected producer could be such a shameless person!"

Ronan subconsciously touched his nose and said, "Many people, you can't just look at the surface. ”

"Hmm. Amanda kept nodding: "Ronan, I can see that not every producer is as good as you." ”

Ronan didn't feel ashamed at all, but said with a smile: "Stay away when you meet this kind of person." Amanda, protect yourself. ”

Amanda finally had a natural smile: "I quickly ran away after I refused that day." ”

Ronan knew that in fact, this was the best option, and there was no way to call the police, and the other party just invited Amanda Seyfried to be a guest.

In the development of society to the present, information spreads extremely fast, and some things can be understood by each other with a slight hint.

"Later, I always failed in my auditions. Amanda added, "Could it have something to do with this person?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, it may be related." ”

Some producers have a very wide range of connections, but the possibility of having a relationship is relatively small, this kind of thing is generally about your love and my willingness, and if you refuse, no one will bite it.

"Don't think about it, it's fine. Ronan comforted: "A TV series producer, even if he is influential, he can't affect my side." ”

Amanda Seyfried nodded: "Well, I listen to you. She pointed to the reception room: "I didn't tell my mother about this, I'm afraid she will worry, don't tell her, okay?"

Ronan assured: "Good. It's a secret for both of us. ”

Amanda Seyfried prepares to say goodbye: "I'm gone. ”

Ronan advised, "If there is a problem that cannot be solved, just come to me." ”

Sending Amanda Seyfried to the front desk, Ronan said to Mrs. Seyfried: "When the crew selects the actors, I will have people inform you, and the audition process will also go through a bit. ”

Mrs. Seyfried hurriedly thanked, "Mr. Anderson, thank you for giving Amanda a chance. ”

Amanda Seyfried just stared at Ronan, thinking about the shameless producer before, and then looking at Ronan, the gap was too big.

The two quickly said goodbye and left, and Ronan returned to the reception room to retrieve the handbag and gave it to Eva at the front desk to ask her to divide the cake.

Later, Ronan returned to the office, finished the work at hand, and began to peruse the first draft of "Twilight" written by Lindsay Beal, since he had not seen the original in his previous life, and the movie had been greatly adapted, he did not know what the specific changes were.

It took three days, and Ronan read the first draft intermittently, and he didn't feel that there was anything that could be changed.

There are too many such slots, and the Mary Sue theme alone is not very pleasing to men.

Through the company's channels, Ronan contacted an editor at Random House and recommended them to those commercial editors who may have average ability to write books, but have a very deep understanding of the book market, and they are far better than outsiders like Ronan in proposing professional revisions.

There will be a review period on the publisher's side, and it will take a while for specific information to be available.

At her workstation, Lindsay Beale had a stack of books next to her, and Ronan was reading a copy of "1984" when she passed.

This book Ronan has not read, but he has heard of it, and "The New World of America" and "We", and it is called the three masterpieces of dystopia.

Lindsay Beale saw Ronan pull out the chair next to him and sit down, and said with a smile, "Boss." ”

"Is this preparing for The Hunger Games?" Ronan asked.

"Now there is nothing else, a few days off, a collection of dystopian type books. Lindsay Beale bookmarked the book and said, "I think 'The Hunger Games' is harder to write than 'The Twilight Zone', and it also involves totalitarian rule and politics, and I am lacking in this aspect." ”

It's always good to be prepared, Ronan agreed, "I'll ask Connie to send someone to help you gather information." ”

Lindsay Beale certainly doesn't shy away: "I've got someone to help me get to work soon." She glanced at Ronan and said tentatively, "The sooner you start writing, the sooner you can finish it." ”

Ronan was a little surprised, because he was paid on a weekly basis.

Lindsey Beal's voice was much quieter: "I wanted to be a screenwriter sooner. ”

Ronan immediately understood what she meant, and said, "Don't worry, complete these three, as long as you want, the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment welcomes you to join." ”

Valuable people deserve recognition.

After chatting with Lindsay Beale about the main plot and character setting of "The Hunger Games", Ronan left the company and rushed to Warner Studios, where the crew of "Human Removal Project 2" had already been stationed.

Any filmmaker with a little experience will follow the successful experience and template, Warner Studios can be called the blessed land of Shahai Entertainment, shooting a few movies here, even the box office failure "Ace Agent", have won the company a lot of income.

Warner Studios is now in a dilapidated state, with rental costs comparable to those of the past, and a separate office area and a suitable post-production studio, which can provide a lot of convenience for the crew.

Thanks to an appointment with Tom Cruise, Ronan soon arrived at Warner Studios.

Unexpectedly, Tom Cruise arrived earlier than him.

When Ronan arrived, Tom Cruise was talking to Andrew about the crew.

"Hi Tom. Ronan took the initiative to say hello.

Tom Cruise shook his hand and joked, "You're late." ”

There were several previous exchanges, plus the current cooperation, Ronan was not polite to him, and said, "It's you who came early." ”

Tom Cruise smiled brightly: "I just came here too." ”

Ronan looked at him slightly, and Tom Cruise looked normal and didn't seem to be affected too much by the media.

Recently, rumors have been growing about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and the media has also fueled the rumors, and it is said that the couple has separated and a divorce battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Compared with Tom Cruise's silence, Nicole Kidman gave full play to the advantages of women, cried about marital unhappiness in several interviews, etc., and mentioned several times that Tom Cruise had signed a prenuptial agreement with her back then, as if she was a miserable victim, and Tom Cruise was ready to let her out of the house.

This kind of thing, if a man complains publicly, he must be scolded, and he will never be able to take off his hat if he has no manners and misers.

And women, who can easily win a sympathy.

Whether it's true or not? Nobody cares.

What the media needs is something that catches the eye, and the audience only believes what they can see.

In his previous life, when Ronan first saw the report of this divorce case of the century, he also sympathized infinitely with Nicole Kidman and hated Tom Cruise, but things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"How's the crew?" Tom Cruise didn't seem to be too affected: "How's it going?"

"The plan is to start filming in mid-April, finish shooting in early June at the latest, finish all post-production in September, and release it on Halloween this year," Andrew said. ”

Tom Cruise turned to Ronan and said, "Issued by your publishing company?"

Ronan confirmed: "Embassy Pictures is responsible for North American and overseas distribution. ”

Tom Cruise was a little skeptical: "It's okay overseas, right?"

He knew that Ronan had established an overseas distribution channel for Embassy Pictures, and that he had also contributed to it, otherwise there would have been no investment opportunities for "Human Eradication Plan 2".

"Embassy Pictures has almost completely taken over the distribution division of PolyGram Pictures, and most of the distribution offices around the world are in preparation, and Alan Albert is a talented person who is working on overseas distribution plans for several films from Shahai Entertainment," Ronan said. ”

"Speaking of which, I really admire you. Tom Cruise doesn't seem to be telling a lie: "In just one year, you've built a critical North American distribution channel and an overseas distribution channel that DreamWorks hasn't done." ”

Ronan smiled, "Good luck." Really, lucky. Such an opportunity is rare. ”

In the next ten years, there will never even be such a good opportunity again, and DreamWorks has been falling apart, neither establishing nor buying overseas distribution channels, and can only exit under the pressure of the six major companies.

Tom Cruise's tone was not without envy: "There are very few companies in Hollywood that can produce independently and distribute independently, except for the Big Six." ”

Ronan knew he was telling the truth, there were many Hollywood companies that could distribute films in North America, but very few had the ability to distribute them overseas.

"Tom. Ronan suddenly said: "You and your friends' companies, if you have a film to be released, you can go to my embassy pictures." ”

"I'll be sure to look for you if you need it. Tom Cruise said.

He has participated in the investment of many films, and even owns part of the rights to the "Mission Impossible" series, but there is no consideration for this for the time being.

Surely there is no risk to be taken until Embassy Pictures has proven its ability to distribute overseas.

Andrew has work to do, Ronan takes Tom Cruise around the studio, director James Wong goes to Long Beach to inspect the location, and the entire director team is not here for the time being.

After turning around, when he came to the door of the studio, Ronan suddenly thought that Tom Cruise had worked hard in Hollywood for nearly 20 years, been an A-list star for more than 10 years, and had a very wide network, so he might be able to recommend a suitable candidate.

"Fatal Bend" has never found a suitable director.

"That's right, Tom. Since Ronan has befriended Tom Cruise, he is not polite at this time: "You have a lot of connections in Hollywood and know a lot of people, can you recommend a director for me?"

Tom Cruise asked, "Do you have a film project?"

Ronan said naturally: "An original horror film." ”

Hearing the original, Tom Cruise's interest instantly decreased, and if the sequel is to be played, you can still try to see if Ronan is willing to accept the investment, and the original movie will be forgotten.
