Chapter 27: Hot and Cold
Ask for a referral ticket!!
"Hello. Ronan also introduced himself: "I'm Ronan Anderson, just call me Ronan." ”
The two said hello and walked downstairs together.
Catherine Heigl was also unkind: "Ronan, I have seen you a lot these days, you work here?"
Ronan nodded lightly and said simply: "My crew is auditioning and renting Warner's audition room and several offices. ”
My crew, Catherine Heigl, immediately grasped the point.
She asked tentatively, "Is it the crew of "Human Eradication Project"?"
On the same floor, I have heard more or less about this crew.
Ronan deliberately said: "Yes, I work as a producer on the crew. ”
Catherine Haigel's eyes widened: "You are such a young producer, it's rare in Hollywood. ”
"Own company. Ronan was the first to come out of the stairwell, waited for Catherine Haigl to follow, and continued: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be a producer." ”
Catherine Hagel's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, the budget of the crew of tens of millions of dollars, her own company......
"Can you know which company it is?" she was only twenty years old, and she was a little anxious.
Ronan remained silent, but was secretly paying attention to the other party, and said lightly: "Shahai Entertainment." ”
The brilliance in Catherine Haigl's eyes dissipated, the name of this company had never been heard of, it must be the kind of small company at the bottom of Hollywood.
In an instant, Ronan's curiosity and interest were greatly reduced.
As if he hadn't seen it, Ronan said with emotion: "It took me ten days to get an investment of $11 million, but unfortunately the time is limited, otherwise more people will invest in my project." ”
Hearing this, Catherine Haigl secretly scolded herself for being stupid, with a budget of $11 million! Is this something that a small company can do?
I'm afraid this is a film company that is on the rise.
Catherine Heigl immediately laughed and said, "It's amazing to be able to pull in tens of millions of dollars in investment. Ninety percent of the people in this circle can't do it. ”
She said this sincerely, with sincere admiration in her words.
Ronan just smiled, very modest, and didn't seem to be a big deal.
Catherine Haigl saw it in her eyes and felt more and more that this person was not simple.
The two walked into the lobby on the first floor, and there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind them, and a Latino man in his twenties chased after them.
"Miss Heigl. The man said hurriedly: "There is a change in the plan, Director Behring asked me to inform you, and the dubbing will start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Catherine Haigl turned her head, her smile instantly turned to frost, and she said coldly, "I see." ”
Latinos seemed to get used to her attitude and hurried away.
Catherine Heigl turned back to face Ronan, and Frost turned into a warm smile again: "I've been working on the same floor as you lately. ”
Ronan duly asked, "Are you an actor?"
"yes. Catherine Heigl came to the door, quickly stepped forward to open the glass door for Ronan, followed out, and said, "I've been working on the Roswell crew lately, huh...... I'm female number two. ”
Ronan nodded: "It's heavy." ”
Catherine Haigl doesn't see it that way: "A TV series, not a movie. ”
"One step at a time. Ronan said seemingly seriously: "You can always find your own place." ”
Katherine Haigl opened her mouth, tempting to ask if Project Human Removal had a suitable place for her, but she put up with it.
Entering the parking lot, she offered to "Let's go have a drink?"
Ronan thought for a moment and said with regret: "I'm sorry, I have work to deal with tonight, let's do it another day." ”
"Okay, I'll call you another day. Catherine Heigl asked, "Your cell phone number?"
Ronan snapped out a string of numbers, then waved goodbye to Katherine Hagel and drove his Cadillac out of Burbank and back to his North Hollywood apartment.
After a brief dinner and a shower, Ronan went to the study to turn on the computer and found an email from Glenn Morgan in the mailbox.
This was also the main reason why he refused Catherine Heigl's invitation.
After the Human Eradication Project was finalized, Glenn Morgan further refined the script for The Grim Reaper, the latest version, and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Which is more important, the invitation of the beauty or the project related to the development of the company, Ronan can tell clearly.
is different from the first version of the script that I have seen before, the story of this version of the script is closer to the movie in the previous life, and the coroner who appeared very little in the first version of the script obviously aggravated the scene.
Several of the main characters have also been adjusted, such as Carter Houghton, who is fourth in the order of death, originally set to be a grumpy person, but later added a careful side to him.
The script is not very many pages, less than a hundred pages, and Ronan read it carefully twice and gave his opinion in his reply.
The letter was sent in duplicate to Glenn Morgan and James Wong.
Ronan's suggestion is very simple, the external form of the film is as Americanized as possible, and the horror scenes are also close to the taste of American horror movie audiences, such as when the characters die, according to the method of American plasma tablets, blood bursts and severed limbs fly.
These are, of course, for commercial reasons.
Ronan had done meticulous research before going to Abu Dhabi, and when it came to heavy taste, horror movies should never skimp on plasma.
Like the most successful "Scream" series in recent years, after adding youth and suspense elements, it still retains some characteristics of plasma tablets.
There are obvious differences in the tastes of audiences in different regions.
In the East, the flying flesh is more disgusting than terrifying, but most American viewers tend to be horrified by blood and severed limbs.
Strictly speaking, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" can be regarded as a preliminary combination of Eastern and Western horror elements.
However, there are very few oriental elements shown in the film in the previous life, and people who don't understand oriental culture can't even feel it, and the setting of the Grim Reaper and various heavy-tasting death scenes also make it easy for North American audiences to accept.
Just as Chinese food must be Westernized in the West, since it is engaged in business, it must take the initiative to adapt to the market.
After sending the email, Ronan read the book for a while, there are a lot of professional books on the operation of movies here, looking at the professional content in the book, combined with the operation of some movies in his memory, he benefited a lot.
There are too many movies in Hollywood, with mediocre ideas or content, but they rely on excellent commercial operations to make huge profits.
Ronan sometimes thinks far ahead, has big goals, and even says it will be ridiculed as a fantasy, but he is working in that direction, and even if he can't achieve his goal, he can succeed.
Now that you have the opportunity, of course, you should stand on a high place and look at the scenery.
In this high place, some people will choose pure film art, and some people will choose social welfare, and Ronan's choice is the Internet and commercial entertainment.
It's very difficult and the risks are even greater.
Just in case, Ronan never forgot the way out.
So, he opened the document again and examined what had already been written in Fifty Shades.
The outline of the first part of the novel has long been completed, the first 20,000 words have been revised several times, and Ronan has even posted 6,000 words on his blog.
Unfortunately, there are currently zero reader views.
Ronan landed on the blog and looked at it, updated it with another 2,000 words, and closed the blog to write a novel with peace of mind.
Ten fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, and paragraphs of text gradually appeared on the screen.
"I don't love left. Edward admonished.
Bella's breathing became rapid, her towering chest heaved violently, and she asked, "Why?"
Edward pulled her into the playroom and said, "Because I'm only Cao!"
Then, Ronan's finger stopped above the keyboard.
He's got Kavin!
The next thing to write about is that the male protagonist trains the first female slave, but Ronan's head is blank.
It's not that you can't write, it's that you don't have content to write about.
Art comes from life and is higher than life.
How can you write without this experience?
Sitting in front of the computer for half an hour, Ronan wrote, deleted, deleted, and repeated seven or eight times, and then simply closed the document.
Once again, he felt a serious lack of professional competence.
How can it be strengthened?
Ronan thought about it for a while, but he didn't have a clue for a while, because Carvin couldn't even read the book because he was so irritable that he had to go to sleep.
The next day, he got up early for a lap, bought breakfast outside, and rushed to Warner Studios on time after using it.
Today, negotiations are made with the agents of the main actors.
