The sun in the sky was hiding behind the dark clouds, and the dim light made the road a little dark, and several Mercedes SUVs made their way through the long canyon and along the broken road into a farm, eventually stopping near the farm's barn.

Here, more than a dozen crew members are busy, and there are also booms hanging in the air, as if they are repairing the house.

Ronan pushed the car door and instead of going right away, he stood on the perimeter.

This is a farm east of Los Angeles, and the farmer has long since gone bankrupt due to poor management, resulting in a slightly dilapidated barn.

Standing in front of the car, Ronan made a general observation, and it was not for nothing that this farm was finally selected by Wen Ziren as the location for "Latent".

The farm is far away from the city, so no one can easily disturb it, and the dilapidated facilities can create a terrifying atmosphere with a sense of desolation.

In the United States, many horror legends originate in sparsely populated farms and towns.

Looking further back, Ronan suddenly felt unreal.

To the left of the farm's living quarters, there is a two-story wooden building, which I don't know what the previous owner thought, and the building was painted gray and black.

At the entrance of the main entrance of the building, a tree was planted, and one of the branches of the tree stretched out horizontally, across the air directly in front of the building.

This shape of the tree has a kind of elegant name on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, called the crooked neck tree.

Legend has it that it was used exclusively for desperate people to hang.

Ronan said to Finch next to him, "Have you ever died here? ”

"No, I don't. Finch didn't quite understand why Ronan asked this, and exchanged two sentences with the person next to him to confirm the answer: "There have been no unnatural deaths here." ”

He asked with concern, "Boss, is there anything wrong?"

Ronan shook his head slightly: "It's okay." ”

Wen Ziren walked over with a very old-looking woman at this time.

"Hi Ronan. Wen Ziren took the initiative to introduce: "This is Rowling Warren, the special adviser to the crew. Rowling, this is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment. ”

Ronan looked at the old woman and shook her hand, "Hello, Mrs. Warren. ”

Although Rowling Warren is old and engaged in a god-like profession, she looks more like a scholar and smiles politely at Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson. ”

Wen Ziren interjected: "Rowling accepted my invitation, and in the next few horror films, she will serve as a special consultant on the crew." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "I believe that Mrs. Warren's special experience will be of great help to the movie." ”

"Mr. Anderson is so polite. Rowling Warren has always been polite: "It's also justifying me and Ed. ”

She said seriously: "Ed and I have suffered too much criticism, many people have never believed in the research we do, and this cause is very important to us. ”

An assistant director came over, Wen Ziren said a few words to him, whispered to Ronan, and went to the place where the crew was.

Instead of leaving, Rowling Warren looked at Ronan curiously, and suddenly asked, "Does Mr. Anderson believe that there are ghosts and evil spirits in this world?"

Ronan said without hesitation, "I never thought about it. ”

This answer was unexpected, Rowling Warren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the words prepared later were instantly stuck in her throat, and she muttered in her heart, why didn't this person play cards according to the routine at all?

To believe is to believe, not to believe is not to believe, what does it mean to never think about it?

Rowling Warren did not give up easily, and said: "For the past fifty years, Ed and I have been regarded as the most prominent experts in the field of soul and demon science in the United States, and we have been repeatedly called by the church to investigate some of the evil spirits in the country......"

Ronan nodded lightly and said, "I've heard James Wing say about your situation. ”

Rowling Warren smiled, "In our careers, we have been exposed to more than 10,000 paranormal events. ”

"So what?" Ronan simply asked, "What does Mrs. Warren mean?"

Rowling Warren said very seriously: "If Mr. Anderson encounters confusion in the future, or some difficult matters that cannot be solved, I can provide advice and help." ”

Ronan understood what she meant, this was to see herself as a potential big customer!

Think about the other side of the Pacific Ocean and Steve Jobs, it seems that this is not uncommon among the rich.

Ronan replied casually, "If necessary, I will." ”

Rowling Warren nodded slightly to Ronan's side, took the initiative to hand over the business card, and then turned around and left, without saying a word more, very legendary master.

Ronan glanced at the business card and gave it to Finch next to him: "If you encounter an evil spirit or something in the future, go find her." ”

Finch put away his business card, looked awkward, and said, "You won't believe what she said is true, will you?"

Ronan laughed, "Even if there are ghosts, there is something that fits as a solution. ”

Finch was curious and asked, "What is it?"

Ronan shook his head and didn't speak, and the curious Finch could only follow him helplessly.

There are some things that Ronan will not say casually, after all, this is a kingdom of belief in God.

But then again, a lot of the words on the other side of the Pacific are really wise sayings, such as that money can make ghosts grind.

In the super commercial society of North America, with Ronan's net worth and wealth, the role that money can play is beyond imagination.

As for Rowling Warren and Ed Warren, it's really hard to evaluate, and there are some things in this world that can't be explained.

For example, many of his colleagues were staunch materialists before they had children, but after they had children, their positions immediately changed, because children have many diseases, and there are some times when medicine can play a role, and it is not as big as imagined, but it is a goddess and something like that, which will have a prominent effect.

Ronan still remembers that a relative once came to the city where he worked to see a child, and there were no abnormalities in all kinds of examinations, but the child just had no energy and couldn't eat.

It's also evil to say, go back to find someone and call twice, and the child will be fine......

This is what Ronan has experienced firsthand, and he is extremely impressed.

It doesn't matter whether the Warrens' experience is true or not, what matters is that their experience is adapted into a movie that can bring huge profits to Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan, accompanied by Finch and other bodyguards, circled the farm.

This farm is very large, there is a large grape plantation, because no one takes care of it, the grapes are basically rotten in the ground, and the smell of wine after the fruit is rotten, and it is faintly wafting from afar.

"How many acres are there?" Ronan asked Fincher.

"Hmm......" Finch roughly estimated, "it should be thousands of acres before and after." ”

Ronan asked, "Is it feasible to buy it and build a racetrack?"

Finch thought for a moment and said, "It may take some formalities. ”

Ronan said, "You go back and say hello to Connie and ask her to gather the relevant information." ”

It's not far from Beverly Hills, and if the helicopter is available, it's a twenty-minute flight at most.

As for the formalities and other issues, it is not a problem at all for Relatalistic Entertainment.

When it was close to noon, Wen Ziren, who was busy with work, came over, and Ronan simply had lunch with him.

"I was going to use the bungalow on the east side of the farm to shoot 'Latent.' Wen Ziren also planned the filming purpose of this farm: "The wooden building area in the west is just going to be used for filming "The Conjuring" next year. ”

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I feel that this farm is eerie, and the atmosphere is very suitable for shooting." ”

Wen Ziren answered: "I looked at more than 20 locations before I chose this place, just because I liked its own gloomy atmosphere. ”

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "I hope I don't freak out the actors when I shoot the night scene." ”

I vaguely remember that there used to be a person who specialized in telling ghost stories, and finally died of a heart attack or something, and there were rumors that he was scared to death.

Wen Ziren said: "No, the crew is all people who really love horror movies. He said, "Besides, we have a special adviser, and she's a professional." ”

Judging from the various materials collected by the crew, Rowling Warren is indeed a professional, and there are more than one people in the church who are willing to corroborate her.

But what the specifics, no one dares to guarantee that Wen Ziren, who has in-depth contact with the Warrens, can only say that the other party is a supernatural investigator, and he doesn't know the rest.

In short, everything is for the sake of the movie.

After lunch and a while in the crew, Ronan was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Wen Ziren suddenly came to his side and said, "I heard that Director Huang submitted a new project to the company, and you have been pressing?"

Ronan knew he was talking about James Wong: "I've been too busy lately, I haven't seen his project yet, I'll talk about it when I go back and see it." ”

Relativity Entertainment has cooperated with a number of Chinese directors, and these Chinese directors also watch over each other, and Wen Ziren specially mentioned James Wong, which is also a reminder.

Wen Ziren added: "I recently got the news that James has started to talk about a new project with Twentieth Century Fox, and if the company wants to continue to work with him, it will have to move quickly. ”

Ronan knew that this was for the entertainment of the theory of relativity, and immediately said: "I'll go back and see the information of the project first, how about it, I'll have someone contact James Wong." ”

He remembers very clearly that James Wong has stated that he will no longer direct the "Death Comes" series and will continue to pursue a new path.

In this regard, neither he nor Relativity Entertainment can stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.

After all, James Wong's directing contract with Relativity Entertainment has expired, and he is a director who can be freely chosen.

Gathering and dispersing has always been Ronan's attitude towards the directors, actors or other staff members he has worked with.

Even if the cooperation between the two parties ends, it is also possible that new cooperation will start in the future.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Ronan asked Connie to bring James Wong's new project materials over and look through them first.

Just see the name of the new project......

Dragon Ball!
