In the reception room of Shahai Entertainment, Ronan met Liam Neeson, who is now nearly fifty years old.

This uncle-type actor belongs to a typical example of getting older and more popular, perhaps the accumulation of life experience has brought a mature temperament that is enough to attract most people.

The Liam Neeson that Ronan meets is a man who has been honed by time, with a very tall figure and a settling temperament, but the melancholy, deep and occasionally meaningful smile between his eyebrows and the occasional meaningful smile on his lips clearly hide too much.

This is the strongest dad on the surface in the movie.

When the movie star appears on screen as a father, he can convince anyone that any murderer who dares to violate his family will have a tragic end.

It is said that after Thanos' snap of his fingers erased a dog and a girl, Thanos would also kneel down and sing conquest in the face of John Vic and Brian's anger.

With just one glance, Ronan instantly thought of the role Liam Neeson had played in his previous life.

This is one of his favorite Hollywood movie stars of all time.

Liam Neeson, who has a wide range of actors, has acted in many famous films such as "Daughter of the Earth" and "Schindler's List", and has been nominated for an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award.

Liam Neeson's temperament makes him the face of on-screen roles such as mentor, loving father, and guide, whether it is the Jedi Knight in "The Phantom Menace", Father Valen in "Gangs of New York", Godfrey in "Celestial Dynasty", Henry Ducater in "Batman: Time to War", the PhD in "Kinsey Professor of Sexology", and Aslan in "The Chronicles of Narnia", they all shoulder the responsibility of inspiring young protagonists.

"I've played a few action roles. ”

After saying hello, Liam Neeson said to Ronan, "But I haven't starred in a pure action movie, and this is the first time strictly speaking. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Liam, I think it's a good choice for you to transition to the action genre. ”

Liam Neeson himself had a kind of British seriousness, and said solemnly: "Really? I'm going to be fifty years old, and I'm going to be unable to move soon." ”

Ronan didn't care: "It's okay, Hollywood always has a lot of means to help." ”

Having said that, compared to the previous life, the current Liam Neeson is still relatively young, think about what Tom Cruise, who was in his fifties in his previous life, was doing?

In the "Hurricane Rescue" series, Liam Neeson was neat in the first part, killing people like chopping melons and vegetables, but in the second part, because of his age, Liam Neeson's action completion was very poor, and he could obviously feel powerless, and the film had to find a way in terms of stand-ins and editing, resulting in action scenes that were not brilliant at all.

Ronan advanced the series by many years, and it is estimated that Liam Neeson will be able to finish the trilogy in good shape.

Liam Neeson is a typical powerful actor, but his fame and salary have not been high, and Shahai Entertainment directly signed an actor contract with him for the trilogy.

Ronan thinks that Liam Neeson didn't mix very well before, mainly because he wasn't old enough.

Some movie stars, when they are old enough, will become more popular and valuable.

Liam Neeson is a prime example of this.

Ronan intends to work with him for a long time and carry out the rescue to the end for many years to come.

Planes, cars, trains, ships, submarines, and so on have to be rescued next to each other, and there may be a chance to go to the sky to rescue them in the future.

It's like an American GI who fought all over the earth in a Hollywood movie, and had to fight aliens.

There will come a day when the evil forces on the earth will not be able to resist Uncle Neeson's professional rescue, so they can only rush out of the earth and go to outer space to rescue.

Anyway, the life of this movie star is always inseparable from the rescue.

Save the Jews, save the ghosts, save the gods, save the daughter, save the wife, save yourself, save the plane, save the train, save the aliens......

Liam Neeson didn't stay long, and after getting the full script from Ronan, he quickly said goodbye and left, Ronan sent Liam Neeson away, and just returned to the office, his gunslinger Lindsey Beale came looking for him.

"Hi Ronan. Lindsay Beale pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ronan smiled and nodded, "Is there something wrong, Lindsay?"

"The last one, I've done. Lindsay-Beale felt a sense of relief after unloading the burden: "The last part of the manuscript, I have sent it to your mailbox, can you read it as soon as possible?"

Ronan asked, "Fifty Shades of Gray is all finished?"

Lindsey Beale said again: "I've written it all. ”

Ronan was satisfied: "Lindsay, your efficiency is amazing, and you are doing a very good job. ”

He opened the mailbox, found the relevant email, briefly browsed it, and said: "Yes, I will ask Connie to contact Random House and push it into the publication review stage as soon as possible, with the first two works here, there should be no problem with this publication." ”

Lindsay Beal, although she can sign all three parts, is always a gunslinger, and her real concern is not publishing, and she said tentatively: "'Fifty Shades of Gray' is completed, and the contract between us is fulfilled." ”

Hearing this, Ronan looked at Lindsay Beale and asked, "Do you have a personal plan?"

Lindsey Beale said: "You promised ......"

Ronan laughed, "My promise is valid for any time. Lindsay, do you really want to be a screenwriter?"

Lindsay Beale replied without hesitation: "Yes, it was my dream and my goal in coming to Hollywood." ”

"Oh well. Ronan rummaged through the bookcase in the back, found one, took it and pushed it to Lindsay Beal: "This is a book for young women, you read it first, and if you can, adapt it into a screenplay." ”

Lindsay Beale took it and glanced at the cover: "Summer of Jeans?"

Ronan nodded lightly: "This is what I bought the rights to adapt the film last year, and I plan to make it into a movie next year." This is a shoujo genre, and female screenwriters naturally have an advantage, and you are responsible for adapting it into a script. ”

Lindsay Beale replied, "No problem. She then realized something and asked, "Am I in charge of the adaptation alone?"

Ronan said, "It's up to you for the time being. ”

For Lindsay Beal, this was a complete surprise, she originally thought that she could join a certain screenwriting team like other writers in the screenwriting department, preferably with the right of authorship, and did not think of being in charge of a project's script alone.

Ronan reminded, "Don't be too happy. Lindsay, you have to come up with a script outline as soon as possible, and if I'm not satisfied, I'll hand it over to someone else. ”

Lindsay Beale hastened to say, "Don't worry, I'll start as soon as possible." ”

Ronan waved his hand: "Go ahead, take a good look at this book first." He thought of something and said: "I have already decided on the actress for the heroine, and you had better refer to her characteristics for the relevant character design of the role." ”

In some ways, Ronan was definitely a very conscientious producer, and he wrote down Anne Hathaway's contact information, gave it to Lindsay Beal, and said, "I'm going on a business trip in a few days, you contact Miss Anne Hathaway and get in touch with her." ”

Lindsay-Beale put away the sticky notes with the phone number on them and said, "Okay. ”

When he returned to the manor from work that night, Ronan also mentioned it to Anne Hathaway, who was so excited that she squatted directly in front of him and performed the benefits of a big mouth live.

Although Anne Hathaway has a rough head, she can also realize that Ronan's film career is getting bigger and bigger.

In the days that followed, Ronan spent the next few days preparing for the next trip to the other side of the Pacific, and it was not easy to get investment from a newly established film foundation, and the more well prepared, the fewer difficulties that might follow.

Ronan asked Sand Sea Entertainment to sign a total of five film investment agreements with Scott, who represents the Pacific Film Foundation, including "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Hurricane Rescue" and "Summer of Jeans," which are not yet in the pipeline.

In terms of "Pirates of the Caribbean", not only prepared relevant cast and crew information, but also printed a copy of the third-party completion guarantee, with Allianz Group's insurance, which can dispel many people's doubts.

At the same time, Anne Hathaway also signed a film contract with Shahai Entertainment to be the heroine of "Summer of Jeans".

In this way, "Hurricane Rescue" and "Summer of Jeans" all have star-level starring, even if the crew has not yet been established and cannot get a guarantee contract for the completion of the film, it still has a certain attractiveness.

Although the Pacific Film Foundation has recently been established, it already has strong financing capital with an investment agreement with Shahai Entertainment.

You must know that many Hollywood film foundations, without even having an investment contract, dare to go overseas to attract investment everywhere, and they can attract investment!

Today's Shahai Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment Group are no longer the obscure film companies they used to be, and the big sales of "Spy Shadow" have brought huge popularity to the company.

These are also effective sources of financing.

Hundreds of relevant materials were prepared, and Ronan also formed a team on this trip to East Asia, with Scott and two deputies to accompany him on behalf of the Pacific Foundation, and several assistants led by Connie would also accompany him.

Then there are the bodyguards, David and Finch are indispensable.

This time, in addition to pulling financing, Ronan also specially commissioned Jared Katzenberg to get Robert Iger's first-hand resume and information, ready to talk to the smiling Mickey Mouse again.

After Robert Iger was assigned to the island country by Walt Disney, he has been stationed there, and there is no tendency to transfer back, and the last two years are probably the darkness before the dawn in Robert Iger's life.

The time had just entered the middle of December, and a team of nearly ten people, led by Ronan himself, boarded a plane from Los Angeles International Airport and flew directly to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
