In the office, Ronan read the script very carefully, looked up at Jessica Felton, and asked curiously, "Where did you find this?"

"I attended a women's rights protection party in the circle, which was the work of one of the female screenwriters in the party. Jessica Felton gives a rough account of what happened yesterday.

The script is here, and Ronan is not in a hurry, but becomes interested in this feminist organization, asking, "Is there anything to be gained from the party?"

Jessica Felton shrugged her shoulders and her chest trembled: "It's okay, I didn't notice it much before, I participated in two parties, and I found that the situation of women in the circle is really not good." ”

Ronan said directly: "Because you eat with your ability, you are a real woman, so you can't feel it." ”

"Perhaps. Jessica Felton faced Ronan with nothing to say: "It always feels like there are people who are women's rights for the sake of the aura of feminism. ”

Ronan nodded lightly: "It's normal, with the current social situation, it is estimated that it will not be too long before the feminist fighter will become a very useful aura for female stars." ”

Jessica Felton smiled, "I'm behind the scenes, I don't need this." ”

Ronan thinks that too, the producer who is in power behind the scenes doesn't need these characters at all.

As for the stars in front of the screen, it won't be long before all of them become women's rights spokespersons.

Some are even crazy.

For example, the former Queen Padmé Amidala spoke out for women's rights: drinking milk and eating eggs is to deprive females of resources!

This can be said to go to one extreme, which naturally gives rise to the other.

Karl Lagerfeld was shocked to face the aggressive "Rice Rabbit" and said: "If you really don't want to be pulled by Neiku, then don't be a model! ”

In fact, it can be foreseen from many aspects that if some things are not controlled within a reasonable range, but are expanded without limits, how fierce the current momentum is, how strong the future rebound will be.

Jessica Felton then said, "Probably I won't be there in the future." ”

"Why?" Ronan knew that Jessica Felton was not a very radical feminist, but she cared more about women's rights, otherwise she would not have attended such gatherings.

Then again, if the situation of Hollywood men and women were reversed, he himself might be involved in similar activities.

Jessica Felton clasped her hands to her chest, and her supple face showed a bit of helplessness: "Because I found out, it won't be long before I may be on the opposite side of them." ”

Ronan laughed and deliberately joked, "This is the disadvantage of gaining power by strength." Jesse, you're out of place anymore. ”

Frankly speaking, when the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and films such as "Fast and Furious" are successful, Jessica Felton's fame and power will inevitably increase, which is the inevitable result of Hollywood's operating system.

Jessica Felton then mingles with a group of actors, directors, screenwriters and the like to discuss increasing the income of the labor side, and it is like a wolf in sheep's clothing and blending into a flock of sheep plotting rebellion.

After a conversation about women's rights, the conversation turned back to the script, and Jessica Felton asked, "Ronan, how is this script?"

Ronan didn't answer directly, but asked, "Jesse, you solemnly recommend it to me, obviously very optimistic about this script?"

Jessica Felton thought for a moment and said: "This is the first script that Diablo Coty has done independently, I have been in contact with this female screenwriter twice, she is a very thoughtful woman, I asked people to do a simple investigation, Diablo Coty has been a blogger, a stripper, and a magazine company, and came to Hollywood a few years ago and started working as a screenwriter. ”

Ronan looked with interest at the white cover of the script, which was not named, only the name of screenwriter Diablo Coty.

To be honest, a stripper-turned-screenwriter is very rare in Hollywood.

Jessica Filton added: "You know, this morning, after I read the script, the story stuck in my brain and I loved it. To use an exaggerated metaphor, I would say that I decided to take it down almost as soon as I got to page 12 of the play. ”

Ronan nodded lightly and agreed, "I have the same impression, and when I read the fourth page, I decided to include it in Shahai Entertainment's future production plan. ”

On the first page, I saw that the heroine's name was "Juno", and on the fourth page, I was sure that this was the "Juno" in my memory.

Jessica Filton was clearly very fond of the script: "It's been said that when meeting strangers, first impressions matter, and the script is the same for me. I knew there was going to be something special about this film, and as the pages went on, it would be more and more surprising, and I was going to realize more and more that it was very different from the commercial genre of Pirates of the Caribbean that we were filming, but it had a unique charm that might appeal to a large and specific audience. ”

Her later words are even more convincing: "Diablo Coty is a rookie screenwriter, this is her first real script, and I tried her, and we can buy out the rights to the script for about $20,000 at most." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Buy it." ”

The inflation is inflating, the price of the script is also rising, think about a few years ago, a rookie screenwriter who is not a screenwriter union could buy the first work of a few thousand dollars, and now don't think about it without ten thousand dollars.

Screenwriters are also trying to improve their treatment and status.

Jessica Filton continued: "It's hard to tell if a good movie can be made based on the script alone, but the script is cheap and worth the risk. ”

Ronan patted the script lightly and said: "A good script, a good director, a good actor, and an excellent shooting and production team, everything can develop in a good direction." ”

Jessica Filton said directly: "I informed the people in the legal department of Shahai Entertainment to negotiate directly with Diablo Coty. ”

Ronan said, "Yes, just do it." ”

Jessica Felton came to the desk, only to be handed over by Ronan with the script, ready to leave the office.

Ronan reminded: "The script is not named, you tell the female screenwriter to name it directly after the heroine." ”

Jessica Filton has no opinion: "She'll agree." ”

Under Ronan's reminder, the project will still be called "Juno".

Many Hollywood movies are actually named directly after the protagonists, which is simple and direct.

For example, the film that made Julia Roberts win the Oscar for Best Actress is the name of the heroine - "Erin Brockevich".

However, the Chinese translation of the title "Never Compromise" can undoubtedly highlight the theme of the film and even improve the style.

There is also the only super can't provoke John Wick in the universe who can fight Thanos, and the Chinese business card is "Fast Pursuit", and the English name is "John Wick".

These are typical examples of Chinese translations that can better stimulate the audience's desire to watch movies.

As for "Juno", it seems that it was once called "Juno".

The theme of this film is actually very sensitive, compared to the call girl and the like, and the social environment has been loosening up in the past two years, if it was placed four or five years ago, such a film would have caused huge public opinion trouble.

This kind of theme is too closely related to the social environment of the time.

Ronan will ask Shahai Entertainment to buy the script, but to be on the safe side, the film will be pushed back for at least a year before it starts.

It's going to be a low-budget film, and if the cost is controlled, the production budget of about $5 million will be about the same.

Ronan once watched this film, but due to the genre, the memory is not deep, and even now in retrospect, except for the heroine with the same title and the teenage pregnancy, the rest of the film is basically forgotten.

No way, the relationship of personal preferences, like most of the content of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "Transformers", he is impressed.

On the contrary, it is an artistic type of film, and the specific content is basically forgotten after watching it.

As well as about "Juno", Ronan thought about it again, and it should be the very distinctive Alan Page who plays the heroine.

Once the actress impressed him.

Of course, not because of the film "Juno".

The initial impression came from "X-Men", which seemed to play the Phantom Cat, and Alan Page also appeared in one of Christopher Nolan's masterpieces, "Inception".

But what really made Ronan remember Ellen Page was a "Hard Fruit Candy".

Presumably, the male compatriots who have watched this film will be more impressed.

Ronan also took note of "Hard Candy" by the way, which made people pay attention to the type of film of a girl taking revenge on an old man.

For such a small investment independent film, it is inevitable to find a suitable distributor, but it doesn't matter if you can't find it, after all, this type of film is a niche among the niche.

It is estimated that many male viewers don't like it very much.

Juno's script also needed to be tweaked to be more interesting, smaller, and more American.

This kind of film, the profound social and practical significance is basically useless to the market, and it is interesting to attract the audience.

The theme of "Juno" is limited to the market, mainly in the United States, and the content of teenage pregnancy and abortion is not a problem in many countries and regions.

Cultural differences will inevitably have an impact on movie-watching.

As for whether "Juno" reflects social reality or not, it doesn't matter at all to Hollywood movies.

Jessica Felton has always been very efficient, and on the day she met Ronan, she communicated and coordinated with the legal and copyright departments of Shahai Entertainment, and officially launched negotiations with Diablo Coty and her agent the next day.

For today's Shahai Entertainment, this is just a small case of copyright purchase.

It only took two days for the two parties to reach an agreement, and Shahai Entertainment bought out the entire copyright of "Juno" for $18,000.
