Chapter 664: Chinese Circle

As a spoof movie, the cost of "Death Gone" is certainly not high, and Shahai Entertainment only offered a production budget of $6 million, and Ronan's priority was to find the right director for the project.

Must be a director who is good at the comedy genre.

Since the first half of the year, Shahai Entertainment's recruitment notice has been posted, and it was not until the beginning of August that the most suitable candidate was found.

From a pool of applicants, Ronan selected a young director in his early thirties named Jason Fredberg.

The director, who has never directed any official feature film alone, was able to impress Ronan, and the most important thing was that he took out a funny experimental short film directed and filmed by himself, which spoofed the Oscars, which was very interesting.

On the other hand, his resume is also an important factor that impresses Ronan.

Jason Fredberg is a rookie director, but not a newcomer, with a wealth of experience in comedy writing, having been the first writer to write "The Ultimate Laughing Detective" since the mid-nineties.

Later, the script of the "Screaming Laughter" trilogy was created one after another.

As a typical spoof comedy, the success of "Scream" is well known.

Like all ambitious screenwriters, Jason Fredberg did not want to stay in the screenwriting industry, and has been deeply involved in the creation of the film since the first part of "Scream", successively serving as executive producer, assistant director and assistant director.

Jason Fredberg is already preparing for his career as a director.

But the "Scream" trilogy was completed, the series came to an end for the time being, and Jason Friedberg's road to spoof comedy was temporarily interrupted.

Therefore, after seeing the recruitment of directors for the "Death Gone" project, he immediately found Shahai Entertainment.

At the same time, Shahai Entertainment also finalized the starring roles of two fat type actors, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill.

After Shahai Entertainment signed a trilogy contract with Jason Fredberg, Jason Fredberg was not very satisfied with the original script, and given that Jason Fredberg had a wealth of relevant creative experience, Ronan authorized him to modify and recreate the script.

Jason Friedberg has a successful creative model and is more trustworthy than other screenwriters in the genre.

After confirming Jason Fredberg as the director of "Death is Gone", Ronan completely handed over the project to Shahai Entertainment.

Shahai Entertainment has a very mature operation model.

Ronan welcomed Lindsay Beale in her office on the top floor of the Relativity Building, and she brought a middle-aged female writer.

"How's 'The Devil Wears Prada' going?" Ronan rarely gets directly involved in the specific work of a certain crew anymore, and the final editing rights are always with him anyway.

Lindsey Beale said: "The screenwriting work over there is almost done, and I'm more involved in some of the production side of things, and I'm also helping director David Fincher revise the script. ”

Ronan nodded and looked at the gunslinger who succeeded Lindsay Beale, the sequel creation of the three parts, and Lindsay Beale was always in charge of communication.

"This is Laura Bright. Lindsey Beale worries that Ronan doesn't remember the gunman: "The ghostwriter you personally hired. ”

Ronan said, "You can sit as you please." ”

Lindsay Beale placed the printed manuscript on Ronan's desk and said, "All three of the works have been completed according to your requirements, and this is the manuscript." ”

Ronan didn't open it and asked, "Lindsay, what do you think?"

"Good. Lindsay-Beale glanced at the woman in her thirties: "I think Laura did a great job. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said directly: "You contact Random House and choose a suitable time to publish and go public." ”

Lindsay Beale sensed Ronan's newcomer again and smiled delicately: "No problem. ”

Laura Bright was speechless in front of Ronan, and then looked at Lindsay Beale and gave Lindsay Beal frequent looks.

Lindsay Beale chatted with Ronan about publishing and said, "Laura wrote her own book and wanted to try to publish it. ”

Ronan nodded and said, "You recommend going to Random House." ”

Lindsey Beale understood what Ronan meant: "Okay. ”

As for whether Random House will publish it, it also needs quality.

Laura Bright hastened to say, "Thank you, Mr. Anderson. ”

Treating outsiders, Ronan is very polite: "You're welcome. ”

Lindsay Beale didn't stay here long and soon left with Laura Blair in her hand.

Ronan also read the manuscript of Laura Bright's work, and was not impressed by either the title or the content.

The rest of the representative drafts, Ronan just simply flipped through them and put them aside, working with Lindsay Beale for a few years, and still has trust in her.

By the time the manuscript was published, The Hunger Games, Twilight, and Gray's Fifty Shades had all been collected.

The copyright is already in hand, just waiting for the subsequent film adaptation.

Ronan suddenly remembered, it seems that these once popular movies also had spoof films, and he forgot about the others, only remembering that there was a movie called "The Hunger Game".

Thinking of this, Ronan remembered more about spoof movies, such as "This Is Not Sparta", "Fast Beyond Passion", and so on.

Hollywood spoofs, like the San Fernando Valley version of the hit movie, are also a unique genre.

Some San Fernando Valley studios have approached Shahai Entertainment to buy the rights to the remakes of "Spy Movie" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Hollywood has never turned down on this, and almost all popular movies can find a San Fernando Valley version.

Shahai Entertainment is also seriously negotiating with the San Fernando Valley film business on the issue of copyright fees.

In fact, this is also a peripheral income for Hollywood films.

Speaking of which, the scale of related industries in the San Fernando Valley is not smaller than that of Hollywood, or even surpassed.

Although the back door of Hollywood has never been the San Fernando Valley, and the actors who enter the San Fernando Valley basically mean that they will never have a chance with Hollywood again, the two sides have always cooperated, and in addition to copyright authorization, Hollywood occasionally looks for actors from the San Fernando Valley to star in some late-night dramas and large-scale experimental films on cable stations.

For example, Stephen Soderbergh, the famous bald director, has used female artists from the San Fernando Valley as the heroine in experimental films.

Also, like Playboy's reality TV show and the like, there are more San Fernando Valley actors used.

Also, Beverly Hills' famous Wilshere Avenue, the long street where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is located, has a lot of San Fernando Valley recruiters.

There are too many people with movie dreams, and some newcomers to Los Angeles think that this is recruiting regular film actors, and after being lured by rhetoric, they embark on this road of no return.

There are also some actors who have been working hard in Hollywood all year round and know what this place is, but because of life, they walked in.

They often have this mentality: I'm just shooting this now to get a bite to eat......

When I ate this bowl of rice, the bowl stuck to my hand and I couldn't hold it.

But there are only a handful of people who can mix up with artists who have never heard of it.

Shahai Entertainment will also launch films such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Transformers", "The Avengers", "Fast and Furious", "The Demon Wears Prada" and so on, all of which can be licensed to the San Fernando Valley.

Anyway, this is one of the basic peripheral operations of Hollywood, and it will not lower the style of relativistic entertainment.

How can art be said to be low-style?

Many Hollywood actresses are dedicated to art, and so are the actresses of the San Fernando Valley.

Of course, the location of the dedication may not be the same, as the latter is often in front of the camera lens.

On the seventh floor of the Relativity Building, the Fast and Furious crew office, Jessica Filton came here after handling the work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"Fast & Furious" ruled out the possibility of working with Vin Diesel, and quickly halted the backup plan and went all out to prepare another plan, although Jessica Felton as a producer also had to juggle the post-production of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel, but the preparation of "Fast and Furious 3" also accelerated.

Shahai Entertainment is negotiating with Dwayne Johnson, who finished filming "Prison Break", to sign a longer contract with the tough type of actor.

Since Vin Diesel's character will die, there is naturally no need for his girlfriend to appear in the sequel, and the crew did not negotiate a film contract with Michelle Rodriguez, but planned to change to a more suitable vase actor.

Negotiations between Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster are also progressing at the same time.

Shahai Entertainment is also striving for a long-term contract.

Jessica Filton came here because there were two directors who had worked with Shahai Entertainment for a long time, and she was contacted through the company to jointly recommend a director.

Walking into the office, Jessica Felton shook hands with two Chinese directors, one tall and one short: "Hello, Director Huang. Hello, Director Wen. ”

James Wong and James Wynn also responded enthusiastically.

They know very well that the Latin woman in front of them seems to be a big-chested type, but in fact, in the entire production system of Relativity Entertainment, the power is second only to Ronan Anderson and George Clint.

And the project "Fast and Furious" is basically in charge of her.

"You may be seated. Jessica Filton looked at them and asked, "George called me yesterday and said that the two would like to recommend a director to the crew?"

James Wynn looked at James Wong, who had a deeper relationship with Shahai Entertainment, and said, "Yes, there is a Chinese director who is very suitable for this project, if possible, can Miss Felton meet with him?"

Hollywood's Chinese-American directors are also forming a circle, and Ang Lee, who is biased towards literary and artistic affairs, is not very involved, and the two of them are currently the core of the circle.
