In the northern part of the San Fernando Valley, there is a small town called Shaq, and the crew of "Human Eradication Project" has been coming to the O'Neill neighborhood of the town since last week to shoot not many location scenes.

After spending more than half a month running around distribution companies in the Los Angeles area, contacting George Clint for media interviews with the crew, and specifically inquiring about "Band of Brothers" and Stephen Ambrose, Ronan came to the O'Neill neighborhood of Shaq Town.

The filming of the crew went very smoothly, there were few small production staff, and they were all very famous actors, so the tearing situation was not serious, and there was no trouble that needed to be solved by him as a producer for the time being.

Originally, the most likely conflict was between the two actors who played their daughters, and it was easy to steal the scene from each other, but there was an age difference between the actors, Michelle Williams and Amanda Seyfried had a good personal relationship since the rehearsal, especially Amanda Seyfried's mother, who was really good at being a person.

Ronan lost count of the number of times Mrs. Seyfried handed out homemade pastries on the set.

This thing seems to be very inconspicuous, but it can play a lot of roles in the interpersonal relationship of the crew.

Although she was sent to Hollywood early to make money, Amanda Seyfried is lucky to have such a mother.

Interpersonal relations have always been a university question, and it is absolutely impossible for actors not to tear each other apart, otherwise I will be sorry for this profession and the gossip masses.

Michelle Williams had several small conflicts with her mother Melissa Leo in the play, all of which were easily resolved by director James Wong.

After nearly a month of shooting, Ronan has determined that James Wong is a capable director.

Although it is the first time to pick up a film director, James Wong has accumulated a wealth of experience as a handyman, screenwriter, assistant director, assistant director, TV series director, and producer in various positions.

This Chinese-American director can be described as having a lot of experience.

For filming, half of the block was temporarily rented by the crew, but in this typical suburban town, half a block is actually only five or six houses.

The crew was filming the shootout scene, and the gunshots rang out like fried beans.

Ronan just stood on the periphery and watched, the producer's job is not in the shooting, it is enough to grasp the progress and specific situation of the shooting.

Filming paused, and a blonde woman from Los Angeles immediately came up.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson. ”

Hearing this greeting, Ronan smiled politely and nodded, "Hello, Judith." ”

The bank's credit department came from Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley.

Judith had a warm smile on her face: "Mr. Herman asked me to convey his greetings to you. ”

Ronan said politely, "Thank you." He added: "Thank you for your support to Shahai Entertainment." ”

"You're so polite. Judith smiled and said, "We're partners." ”

It was not easy for her boss to ask for the customer of Shahai Entertainment: "Looking at the shooting situation, this film is very large-scale, do you need bank financial support?"

In this era of extremely fierce competition, high-quality customers are too rare.

Who dares to take out a loan easily for ordinary customers?

Ronan said lightly: "I will call you if you need to." ”

Just in time to see Mary and Robert coming, he pointed over there, "Sorry, there's work to be done." ”

Judith did not have the arrogance of the first meeting, and was very knowledgeable: "Mr. Anderson, you are busy first, and you can contact me at any time if you need me." ”

The woman immediately left the place, as if chasing the San Fernando Valley from Los Angeles, just to say these few words.

When Mary and Robert arrived, Ronan shouted that they were getting into a soundproofed nanny car together.

"The account is well done. Ronan turned on the air conditioner and said to the treasurer, "Mary, you are an expert in this area. ”

Mary was also not modest, smiled and said, "Do the Arabs have any intention of checking the investment accounts?"

Ronan shook his head slightly: "No." I spoke to Saleh on the phone the day before yesterday, and his brother Mansour was very satisfied when he learned that the crew had officially started filming. ”

Robert answered, "Shall we go to Abu Dhabi again?"

"Not right now. Ronan was sober-headed: "Wait until the release of "Human Removal Project". ”

As for the project "The Grim Reaper", it can't be played without a $10 million investment.

Robert patted his head: "Oh, yes. Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the Indians? I heard that when that little Indian delegation came to Los Angeles, they went to DreamWorks for a visit. ”

Ronan frowned slightly: "DreamWorks has a connection with Indians?"

It's not surprising that Hollywood studios are all over the world cheating, and some time ago he heard the news that a production company had swindled millions of dollars from across the Pacific.

When he got the news, he was also a little moved at the time, after all, the coal bosses seemed to be very entrenched.

But after thinking about it, I still gave up, and there must always be a bottom line in life.

"DreamWorks wants to attract Indians to invest?" Ronan asked again.

Robert replied, "The future is possible." The Indians this time were just an expedition. ”

I don't know why, Ronan subconsciously linked this matter with "Band of Brothers", that miniseries has a huge investment, and it is not easy for DreamWorks to raise funds even if it pulls HBO together, and it is said that some of Ah San, who got rich first, is really rich.

But even if this is true, it is estimated that it will not go well.

"Band of Brothers" has a lot of troubles, especially the original author, Stephen Ambrose.

What was the first impression of this writer? The special adviser to "Saving Private Ryan", the original author of "Band of Brothers", who wrote biographies of "Nixon" and "Eisenhower", is very lofty, but I don't know it if I don't check it, and I am shocked when I check it.

After his previous investigation, he found that since the nineties, Stephen Ambrose has caused a lot of plagiarism and copyright scandals, some of which involve "Band of Brothers".

Two years ago, World War II veterans accused Stephen Ambrose of plagiarizing his memoirs and diary.

Because "Band of Brothers" is currently only a book, and it has not yet been visualized, the scope of dissemination is relatively small, and this matter has not caused a stir at all.

If the accusation is true, in case the veterans get into trouble, "Band of Brothers" may get into a copyright dispute.

This is often the case with Hollywood film adaptations, usually with money to solve the problem.

Those who make trouble just want benefits.

Ronan thought for a moment and said to Robert, "You continue to pay attention to the Indians. ”

The third brother's money is also money.

Rob nodded, understanding what Ronan meant, and would focus on the situation of the Indians later.

Mary then asked, "How's going on over there?"

Later, she had to deal with the financial work, and she didn't follow along.

"It's about the same as expected. Ronan said simply: "For the time being, no distribution company has expressed its intention to sign a contract, but except for a few distribution companies such as DreamWorks, people from other companies have made it clear that they will talk about it after watching the finished film." ”

Robert glanced at Ronan, thinking of the situation in the last movie, and reminded slightly: "We are a small company, and we have just set foot in theatrical movies, which is normal. ”

Ronan understood the meaning of the words and said, "I understand. He thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit passive to just send samples to the distribution company. ”

"Yes. Rob nodded and asked, "Do you have an idea?"

Ronanmo rubbed his chin and said, "I have an idea, can you see if it's feasible?" Let's convene a viewing party and invite the film viewing experts from the distributor and some fans to participate, so that we can take the initiative and do the work easily." ”

"It's a good idea. Mary agreed.

Robert chimed in: "A lot of production companies do it, and it's said to work well. ”

"Well, we're sure we'll call a viewing party. Ronan made a decision: "I've been in contact with a lot of publishing companies during this time, and I should be able to invite people from five or six companies. ”

His voice lowered slightly: "I have something else in mind. ”
