Looking through the contract, Lindsay Beale picked up the pen and signed the contract in duplicate.

Whether it is the current situation or compared to the remuneration of the previous two Hollywood jobs, this contract can be regarded as a good salary, with a weekly salary of $1,000 when ghostwriting the first book, a direct double of $2,000 for the second book, and a double of $4,000 for the third book.

The weekly salary is $4,000, and most of the old screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for many years can't get such a salary.

What's more, there is a bonus for the completion of the book, and you can also get a royalty bonus if you publish it.

The three-month experience in Hollywood made Lindsey Beal, who had a dream, understand what reality is.

First of all, you have to support yourself, and secondly, you have to pay off your student loans, and you can get a foothold in Hollywood, and then you can talk about talents and dreams and so on.

"Thank you for coming here. Ronan put away the contract and shook hands with Attorney Dinah.

Dinah Ampton said with a smile: "You can call at any time if you need to, I'll go first." ”

Ronan sent her out, and when he came back, he saw that his little gunslinger was a little stunned, coughed, and said, "Miss Bill, let's talk about work." ”

Lindsay Beale's delicate facial features matched with an oriental-style soft face, which is completely different from the temperament of the American Yanmar, smiled two little rabbit teeth, and said: "Mr. Anderson, just call me Lindsay." ”

Ronan was also polite: "Lindsay, you call me Ronan, we will communicate often in the future, don't be too restrained." ”

"Hmm. Lindsey Beale nodded her pointed chin.

Ronan opened the filing cabinet, found the three backgrounds, character designs and plot outlines that he had written before, handed them to Lindsay Beale, and said, "You look at it first, it's all about women." ”

Compared with "Fifty Shades of Gray", which has only seen the adaptations of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", that is, I have an impression of the hero and heroine and the main plot, and I have almost forgotten about the rest, this outline is not perfect, and the plot needs to be further optimized and expanded in the later stage.

Lindsey Beale had read the outline and understood why she had written those two paragraphs for yesterday's interview.

The first outline is a standard Mary Sue story, but the background is magical, adding elements of vampires and werewolves, but if you look at the setting, it still doesn't break away from the traditional routine of love to death.

The second outline that follows, Lindsay Beale preferred, it was the story of the re-establishment of the human social order after the end of the world, the story of a strong, independent and willing heroine who sacrifices for the sake of her family, rebelling against dictatorship.

It's not uncommon in North America to have similar utopian settings, and Lindsey Beale has read a few books, but it seems that there are no women as the absolute core and roles set up like this.

Hollywood, and even the literary world, requires a female protagonist to be "cute", and she has noticed it countless times, and those people will always say that the heroine looks like ...... They won't say it directly, but they will imply to the creator that a female character must not act like a man, and that a woman cannot do what a man can do.

The third syllabus is an urban fanfic version of the first syllabus, but with some abusive scenes.

Lindsay Beale has read a lot of messy books and doesn't find these settings surprising.

Ronan was patient until Lindsay Beale went through the three outlines and asked, "Is there a problem?"

This is related to the next job and job, Lindsey Beale is not polite, said: "The outline is not detailed enough, many supporting characters only have a name and life resume, but there is no more detailed setting." ”

"I'm not asking you to mechanize assembly line operations. Ronan flickered: "You also need to mobilize your own subjective initiative to make the characters and stories more fleshed out." ”

Lindsay-Beale answered and said, "I see. ”

Ronan said: "I will ask people to reserve a desk for you in Shahai Entertainment, and you can come to Shahai Entertainment to write during the day, so that we can discuss the plot at any time, and feel free at other times." Every 10,000 words are submitted to me for review, and any questions are reported to me in a timely manner. ”

"Okay. Lindsay-Beale said, then asked, "Which one to write first?"

Ronan had already planned it and said directly: "First finish "Twilight", then "The Hunger Games", and finally "Fifty Shades of Gray". ”

Of course, only the first part of these three books is for the time being, and the remaining sequels can be taken slowly after the first part is completed.

Lindsay-Beale thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with the background content of werewolves and vampires, and I need to gather some information first. ”

"No problem. Of course, Ronan knows the importance of preparation: "I will have someone collect the relevant materials for you, and you can go to the library at any time." ”

He glanced at the time: "Our contract will be executed from today, so you can prepare if it's okay." ”

Lindsay Beale glanced at Ronan, a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "Can I advance two weeks' salary first, I ......"

Ronan looked up at Lindsey Beale and didn't speak immediately.

"I have a student loan to repay. Lindsay Beale was a little lacking: "The rent is also coming due. ”

Ronan belongs to the kind of person who must ask for a reward for kindness, and said, "Lindsay, you go to the finance department to get two weeks' salary, and I'll call the finance." ”

Lindsay Beale couldn't suppress the surprise on her face: "Thank you, thank you for your generosity. ”

"I just want you to put all your energy into your work," Ronan emphasized. ”

"Yes, I will. Lindsay-Beale assured: "I'm going to do my best to do this job." ”

With the gunslinger, it was only a matter of time before these three books were written, and by the time Lindsay Beale finished the first part of "Twilight" and recommended it to the publishing house in the name of the film company, the possibility of publication was very large.

Watching Lindsay Beale go out, Ronan suddenly had an idea, maybe it would be good to create a beautiful writer? Hold the copyright in your hands, and then give Lindsay Beale the authority to sign it, print a few photos on the book, and push Lindsay Beale to the foreground at that time......

As long as it is properly promoted, talented beautiful writers can easily become popular.

This Lindsay Bill is much prettier than Joanna Rowling.

However, these are not in a hurry, Ronan pushes others with himself, people's hearts and greed are too difficult to estimate, and benefits cannot be released at one time, just like the bottom line of the other party must be forced back little by little when negotiating, and benefits should be given little by little at the right time.

Release all the benefits at once, what will be attractive in the future?

Out of Ronan's office, Lindsay Beale is taken by Eva to a desk in the far corner, where she has all the office equipment, whether she can write on a computer, use traditional pen and paper, and consult all kinds of information on the Internet.

"It's much more generous than the two small crews before. Lindsay-Beale thought of the previous few people crammed into two desks to code scripts, and was very happy with this single workstation: "Generous, valuing women, and having money in hand, maybe this is a good boss." ”

"If you need anything, you can come to me. Eva quickly left the place.

Lindsay Beale sat in a swivel chair and carefully read the outline of "Twilight", and the reason for doing things with money is still very clear.

Besides, the treatment here is much better than before.

As for writing within the boxes of Ronan Anderson's rules, it doesn't matter at all.

These three months of screenwriting have made Lindsay Beale realize what kind of treatment she can get in Hollywood.

An old screenwriter once said that if he hadn't been humiliated by those stars who hadn't graduated from high school at the story discussion, he would not have been a Hollywood screenwriter, and the screenwriter must always be ready to rack his brains to come up with ideas, and drafts have been ruthlessly deleted, altered, and shot, which is worse than the Indians in the western script.

The screenwriter also has to ask the producer for their opinions half-flatteringly, collect feedback and instructions, and go back to adjust on their own.

Now, it's a lot easier to just be in charge like Ronan Anderson.

Fast forward to the weekend, and Ronan put down his work and, just like when "The Human Erasation Project" was released, found a theater in the bustling area of North Hollywood, ready to go to the movies.

"Ace Agent" began its official release in 1,500 theaters in North America this weekend.

Since the marketing is aimed at minority groups, the film is rarely advertised in the downtown area, but the advertisement for "The Grim Reaper" is "Death is Coming", Ronan walked all the way from the apartment to the Laurier Valley Boulevard, and saw the poster on more than one billboard.

The impact of publicity and marketing on the box office of movies is self-evident, especially at the box office of the first weekend, and publicity and marketing even play a decisive role.

Ronan entered the theater chain of Emperor Entertainment, looked at the poster in the front hall, and found "Ace Agent" in a less conspicuous position, the poster centered on Mohammed, an Arab, with supporting characters such as Asian, African, and Latino in a half-circle in the back.

"What do you think of this film? ”

Someone next to him pointed to the poster of "Ace Agent" and discussed, Ronan turned his head to look at it, it was two white people, the older one shook his head and said: "I don't like the protagonist, it's too weird, let's go look at something else." ”

Ronan sighed, is this really a world of faces?

Coming to the box office, Ronan carefully looked at the electronic teaser in front of him, the bright red font was very eye-catching, and "Ace Agent" was also among them, but this film was only screened in one theater on the seventh scene.

"Ace Agent". Ronan said to the conductor, "One ticket, thank you." ”

After buying the ticket, I waited for a while, and entered the No. 7 theater ten minutes before the opening, in order to facilitate observation, Ronan deliberately selected the last row of seats and waited patiently.

The theater is not big, and it can accommodate about 100 people, obviously the theater will not put the best resources on "Ace Agent", not to mention "Black Sun Crisis", which has only been released for two weeks, and the new films that opened this week include "Guillotine Valley" with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

"Ace Agent" only enjoys third-tier treatment in theaters.
