In the café, looking at the female editor with long legs, big breasts and a delicate face opposite, Ronan once again suspected that the impression of Jessica Filton was someone else.

The Latina girl opposite, a light-colored thread shirt, slim jeans, and long boots give a clean and stylish feel.

Ronan picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "Jesse, long time no see." You're prettier, and it makes me wonder which one is you?"

Perhaps because of the innate advantage of mixed race, Jessica Filton's wheat-colored skin is far more delicate than that of ordinary Caucasian women, she understands Ronan's words, touches her face, and says: "Both are me, people have two sides, it's normal." ”

She asked Ronan rhetorically: "It is said that single men are also chaotic at home. ”

Ronan shrugged: "Not including me." ”

Jessica Filton was a little surprised: "Aren't you single?"

"It's single. Ronan explains, "But I like the neat and clean environment. ”

Jessica Felton suddenly laughed: "So, working with you, it gives me peace of mind that there isn't so much mess. ”

Ronan immediately remembered the greasy feeling when the two met for the first time, unconsciously rubbed his fingers, and said in a joking tone: "Don't worry, in my crew, no one will bother you because of things outside of work." ”

No matter how thoughtful people are, after looking at Jessica Filton in the state of work, it is estimated that they will also retreat.

Jessica Felton pinned a strand of her long hair behind her ear and seemed to be unconcerned about anything outside of work: "So, there's a new job?"

Ronan smiled and said, "I'll fulfill our promise." ”

The last time Jessica Filton was hired, he verbally asked Jessica Filton to be the editor of "Here Comes the Grim Reaper."

"'Is Death Coming?" Jessica Filton certainly hasn't forgotten.

Ronan nodded and asked, "Do you have an agent?"

Jessica Filton shook her head: "Agent? no, those guys will just interrupt my normal work." ”

"Okay. Ronan was not verbose and said, "I will negotiate a contract with you, how much salary do you want?"

Jessica Filton casually said, "Just a little more than last time." I don't have any money, I want to buy the latest clipper, it is said that there is a new digital editing software recently, I am going to buy a computer and related software, it is very expensive to do technical research. ”

This woman's salary is spent on studying and buying new equipment.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "The weekly salary is $4,000, and the working time may be about ten weeks." ”

"Good. Jessica Filton laughed, perhaps in a good mood, laughing too happily, breathing a little fast, and the huge mountain swayed and trembled dazzlingly. She added, "But I have one condition. ”

Ronan thought crookedly, and said directly: "I will equip you with a full-time nanny." ”

Don't think about anything else, but also think about your eyes and nose.

Jessica Felton shook her head slowly: "It's not this, my condition is your next film, and you have to give priority to me." ”

Ronan didn't answer immediately, just looked at Jessica Felton, who explained, "I'm on the rise right now and need to get started with the real film. ”

Ronan answered: "No problem. ”

With outstanding technology, low price, and their own bedding, such an editor is not easy to find.

In fact, what Jessica Felton needs most is a good agent who can bring her more job opportunities, but Ronan has no intention of reminding her, it is asking for trouble.

Jessica Filton took out her phone and looked at the time, and took the initiative to leave: "I'll go first if there's nothing else." ”

Ronan casually said, "It's almost noon, I'll invite you to lunch?"

"Nope. Jessica Felton refused without hesitation: "I'm very short on time, and there is still a piece of practice film that has not been cut." ”

Ronan stopped talking nonsense: "I'll call you again when I sign the contract." ”

Jessica Felton leaves, and Ronan casually finds a place to have lunch before returning to Sand Sea Entertainment.

With the start of operation of the two projects "Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent", Shahai Entertainment has conducted another recruitment, and the company has more than fifteen employees.

The main job of these personnel is to serve two film projects.

The newly increased salaries of employees did not bring much pressure, and as last time, as long as there was a film project running, the employees' salaries would be paid from the crew.

This kind of film project without third-party guarantee and investment supervision, people who do not take advantage of it to the extreme are definitely commercial idiots.

Ronan also knew that if he continued to succeed, it would be difficult to have a chance for this kind of wild growth again.

Back in his office, he opened his mailbox and looked at the mail, then called Mary in.

"The budget for 'Ace Agent' was cut to $10 million. Ronan had been thinking about it for a long time: "The money saved is set aside in the reserve fund of the theory of relativity. ”

He looked through the glass at the slightly crowded office room outside, and said: "In the future, the company will increase the number of people, it is too crowded here, you ask people to find out, whether Burbank has a small office building for rent as a whole, about three floors is enough." ”

Mary nodded, "I'll do it." She reminded, "Ronan, you need an assistant. ”

Ronan understood: "You send out the job posting." ”

After Mary left, Ronan opened the copy he had obtained from Professor Johnson and looked at it, which was mainly about the packaging service of the brokerage company.

There are a lot of success and failure cases of packaged services in it.

After reading it, he closed the bound copy, frowned slightly, and remembered "Ace Agent".

Compared with "The Grim Reaper", which was smoothly prepared, although "Ace Agent" was officially established in order to earn tax refunds, there was actually no progress in the preparations.

This project has nothing but a script, a proposal, and materials to prepare for tax refunds.

This is a film that is destined to lose money in North America, and Ronan has contacted several directors and agents, all of whom have not worked out well.

Maybe it can be handed over to a brokerage company to package and produce?

Is there a brokerage company willing to take over this hot potato?

This film must be made, and the main line of Arab agents saving the world cannot be changed, only after in-depth contact, I know that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is a behemoth, and some things can be done in concealment, but in the case of the other party paying real money, if you don't want to make too much trouble in the future, how can the promised film be made.

How well it is made is another question.

Ronan thought about it for a while and decided to let George out with some news to see if any brokerage company was willing to wade into this troubled water.

After calling George and processing a few more documents, Ronan saw an industry news article online.

Lionsgate bought the rights to more than 40 films in the former Embassy Pictures library for a total price of $5 million.

"Sure enough, it's the bankers who are more likely to raise the money. ”

Ronan shook his head secretly: "Lionsgate is very ambitious and eager to expand the company's heritage. ”

What is the biggest heritage of a film company? It is never a new film, but a huge source of films in the film library.

Any one of the six major companies, just those old movies in the film library, can get tens of millions of dollars in net profits every year, like the dozens of cartoons in the hands of Disney, which are even more priceless.

How much profit can those cartoon derivatives create each year?

Ronan is trapped in funds, otherwise he would not easily let go of the film library of Embassy Pictures.

For him, the immediate distribution channel is more important than the long-term slow profitability of the film library.

When you encounter a distribution company that is willing to sell and has relatively complete distribution channels, the opportunity is too rare, and if you miss this one, you may not be able to find a suitable one in the next four or five years.

The profitability of the issuing company is very strong.

With the distribution company, he will be able to go around the St. Denis Film Festival in a while.

I remember that there was a film that was made very early, and it seems that it was a rights deal completed at the St. Denis Film Festival.

There is no distribution company under his hands, so even if he takes a huge risk of infringement, it is useless to shoot it.

With a publishing company, it's a different story.
