There were a lot of people in the banquet hall, and I finally found a quiet place, Amanda Seyfried sat down, and quickly raised her feet, these half-heels really made me taller when I wore them, and the pointed toe shape also looked very good-looking, but after walking for a while, it was a taste......

Who wears who knows.

Amanda adjusted her position and said to Ronan, "There's a very important question, and I don't know who to ask. The expression on her delicate face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and she paused for a while before saying, "Ronan, you are a very powerful producer, can you help me." ”

Ronan didn't rush to agree: "Your mother can't solve it?"

"Well, she can't fix it. Amanda Seyfried seemed to have made up her mind: "My friends don't understand, and I'm not familiar with anyone else in Hollywood except you." This question was brought about by my mom and dad ......"

Hearing this, Ronan stopped talking, not wanting to meddle in other people's household affairs rashly.

Amanda is only 14 years old, and she doesn't know how to read words and emotions and the like, and regardless of whether Ronan agrees or not, she said to herself: "I once heard my mother and father discuss that they want me to drop out of school at the age of sixteen to concentrate on acting, and also have time to play more roles, saying that this will be more beneficial to my future in Hollywood." ”

Ronan understood what Amanda meant, this kind of thing is too common in Hollywood, many child stars are actually taking this path, Hollywood actors who became famous at a young age, few people are really patient to study, this is not only a personal problem for actors, but also for family reasons.

Hollywood's speed of renewal is too fast, and it will not take long for people to be forgotten if it just breaks into a bit of fame and is not used well.

It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and to make money as soon as possible.

There are countless actors who dropped out of school at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Amanda Seyfried has just moved from modeling to Hollywood, and has only starred in one movie, "Project Human Clearance", and if her parents want her to drop out of school, it is really difficult to find someone to ask for advice.

Seeing that Ronan was silent for a long time, Amanda hurriedly asked, "Ronan, do you think it's okay for me to drop out?"

"Amanda, everyone is out of the way, and I can't answer you directly. Ronan said from the side: "I am part of the army of dropouts. ”

"Really?" Amanda suddenly had a surprise on her face: "You dropped out of school too, and can dropping out bring success?"

Ronan was speechless, on Lao Mei's side, is there an inevitable connection between dropping out of school and success?

"When I dropped out of school, I had a painful failure and then found myself severely inadequate. Ronan didn't give a direct answer: "Up to now, in order to keep up with the company's development, I will go back to my previous school every half a month and ask professors for help." In my spare time, I spend most of my time reading books and studying various cases, which should have been completed as a student. ”

The surprise on Amanda's face had vanished, and her big eyes kept blinking, clearly thinking about Ronan's words.

Ronan still said from the side: "If you drop out, you may encounter a good opportunity to become a big star." If you continue to study, you can broaden your horizons and enrich yourself, even if you don't become an actor in the future, you can have other options. ”

"That's right......" Amanda Seyfried seems to be confused because of her limited age and experience.

After thinking about it for a while, Amanda found that Ronan didn't seem to have a clear proposal.

Ronan turned his head to look at Mrs. Seyfried, this middle-aged woman may be a portrayal of many ordinary people, who really love their children, try to protect them, hope that they can succeed, but value immediate benefits, and want to get a large amount of money without paying too much.

Similar situations are common all over the world, for example, when he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there was a period when the theory of the uselessness of reading was very popular, and even in the information age, the chicken soup that could only work for people who did not read was everywhere.

However, the people who wrote these chicken soups did not dare to let their children drop out of school.

Amanda's fingers were crossed, entangled, and what she saw and heard in the crew of "Human Removal Project" made her clearly feel that Ronan was a decent and trustworthy person.

"Ronan, I have no one to consult but you. Amanda was a little anxious, and a sentence popped up directly: "I will be sixteen years old soon, and I have to find a way to dispel my mother's thoughts." ”

Hearing her say this, Ronan understood the girl's true thoughts, and said, "Do what you think in your heart." ”

Amanda Seyfried actually has a clear inclination for choice, and perhaps she is not fully aware of it.

"What do I think?" Amanda froze.

Ronan reminded, "Aren't you trying to dispel your mother's thoughts?"

Amanda scratched her curly blonde hair, apparently remembering what had just been said.

Since Amanda Seyfried is tendentious, Ronan stopped flashing and said, "Amanda, do you know my impression of you after we worked together once?"

Amanda immediately asked, "What is it?" She seemed a little worried, and her ten fingers were twisted together again: "Isn't it not good?"

Ronan smiled and said, "You're like the fairytale Christina Richie, the elf Natalie Portman." ”

Amanda was in a better mood: "Really?"

Both of them are enough to rank among the most famous girl stars in Hollywood in the 90s.

"I see. Amanda knows the two peers well: "Christina Richie, who dropped out of school to concentrate on acting, is going downhill, and Natalie Portman, who is studying, is not forgotten, but has a brighter future." ”

"You're a smart girl. Ronan stood up.

Amanda looked up at him: "Ronan!" The big eyes that seemed to be able to speak regained their brilliance, and a shallow dimple appeared on her delicate face: "I know what to do, thank you." ”

Ronan pointed to his chest, "Follow the choice here." ”

At ten o'clock, the company's employees went to a nearby night club to start a real carnival, Ronan and the management did not go, the presence of high-level personnel would affect the atmosphere, and it was necessary to keep a distance from ordinary employees.

As soon as Ronan got home, he received a call from Amanda Seyfried, and Amanda solemnly thanked him again.

In the face of this situation, there are bound to be gains and losses.

In the words of the other side of the Pacific, there are many grassroots stars in Hollywood, and there are also many academic stars.

In the previous life, when it comes to highly educated and scholarly actors, the first thing that comes to mind for people who are familiar with Hollywood is Natalie Portman, in fact, there are many Hollywood stars who graduated from prestigious schools, but most people rarely make a fuss about their academic qualifications.

Entering the study, Ronan saw a photo of Carmen Kaith's left here, put it away with some important information, he would not let this cause long-term trouble, and he had already come out of a somewhat depressed mood.

Ronan took a closer look at Robert and George Clint's latest collection of information on Indian films and related investments, and in the process of reviewing them, he made special notes on the key points and corroborated them with some laws and regulations sent by Dinah's lawyer to reduce the risks and loopholes in the plan.

After reading these, he took out a lesson plan he had received from Professor Johnson a week earlier and read it carefully.

This is a lesson plan formulated by the USC Film School with "Cut Throat Island" as the object of analysis.

As one of Hollywood's most painful failed films of all time, "Cut Throat Island" deserves serious analysis and summary by any producer and production company.

From financing to controlling budgets to internal problems in the crew, there are in-depth analyses in the lesson plans.

Although there is a suspicion of hindsight, it is definitely useful for Ronan because some mistakes can be effectively avoided.

Relativity Entertainment also wants to avoid going down the path of Carlock Films.

Culloch is the independent production company that produced "Terminator 2" and "Instinct" and was once a frontrunner among Hollywood's mid-range companies.

The failure of a big production made Carlock doomed.

To a certain extent, "Cut Throat Island" is also untimely.

The pirate's ship capsized, and since "Cut Throat Island", there has only been one truly successful pirate movie.

Ronan waited until midnight before putting down the copy of the lesson plan, went to the living room for a turn, turned on the computer when he came back, looked at the mailbox first, saw that there were no new emails, and logged on to the blog.

Looking at Kavinka's basic eunuch on the blog, Ronan couldn't help but cover his face, fortunately there were no readers, otherwise he would have really received the blade.

This is a prepared back road, but now that it can basically be torn down and restarted.

At present, the company is developing smoothly, the funds are quite sufficient, and he is busy with work, so it is impossible to find time to write a blog again.

Hire a gunslinger.

U.S. copyright law clearly stipulates that as long as the relevant employment contract is signed, the copyright of all works created by the employee within the scope of the contract belongs to the employer.

To put it bluntly, it's like a producer finding an idea and hiring a team of writers to write the script.

Ronan finds his notebook and jotts down several names: "Fifty Shades of Gray", "Twilight", and "The Hunger Games".

Except for "Fifty Shades of Gray" because I read the original book because of curiosity, the other two series have only seen the movie, and the movie has only been watched once, except for the general main plot and Mary Sue, the other memories are relatively light.

Fortunately, the basic settings are quite clear.

Ronan looked at the three names, and the first protagonist was all female, typical female.

Looks like we're looking for a female gunslinger.

In this regard, Ronan did not belong to the company, but the next day Mary sent a job posting, recruiting suitable female writers across the United States, preferably slightly younger.

This makes it easier to understand the psychology of young girls.

I vaguely remember that when the original author wrote these, he was not too old.

Ronan also took the time to write out the background setting, the main outline, and the main characters, etc.

The gunslinger also has to be patient, and Ronan's focus has once again shifted to film release.
