Although this is the first time he has dealt with Ronan head-on, Heath Ledger has heard many people talk about Ronan, including director Ang Lee and girlfriend Michelle Williams, and the young producer is the epitome of successful inspirational Hollywood.

Heath Ledger has a respectful attitude towards the producer, but that doesn't mean the other party can interfere in his private life.

Even if Heath Ledger didn't say it explicitly, Ronan could see that he didn't take it to heart.

Among the older generation of actors, some things are overflowing, but when it comes to the new generation of actors, the flood is actually increasing.

This is directly proportional to the overall social environment and the anti-drug situation in North America.

Los Angeles is a short distance from Mexico.

Mexican traffickers are world-famous, and are said to be able to entangle armed groups and go to war directly with government forces.

Ronan looked at Heath Ledger carefully, judging from Heath Ledger's state, it should not affect the filming behind the crew, after all, it won't be long before the filming will end, but thinking of the tragedy of the past, he rarely relented, and reminded: "I don't know if you've heard of Riven Phoenix?"

Heath Ledger was not stupid, understood what this meant, and said, "Mr. Anderson, I'll take care of my work and private life. ”

Ronan glanced at him, just as Anne Hathaway came over, so he didn't say anything more, took Anne Hathaway's luggage, and got into the SUV together.

"What's wrong?" Anne Hathaway closed the car door, looked through the rear window, and looked at the male lead of the crew: "Wasn't it a pleasant chat?"

Ronan didn't answer directly, but said seriously: "Annie, there are some things that you can't touch, and don't touch them. ”

Anne Hathaway looked at Heath Ledger who was getting farther and farther away, and thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I will never touch those harmful things." ”

Although this woman sometimes has some problems with her vision, when it comes to her own safety, she will be the first to jump long.

Ronan sighed secretly and said, "I hope that what I will see in the future will always be a healthy, natural and sunny Princess Anne." ”

Anne Hathaway brushed one hand at the corner of her eye, and her well-groomed makeup could not completely hide the faint crow's feet: "But people always get old." ”

Ronan smiled, "It's the law of nature. ”

Anne Hathaway rolled her eyes without a trace, and when she was old and not beautiful, it was estimated that the person next to her would be replaced.

She has studied the women who have dated Ronan, combined with the rumors and the time period of the relationship, and found that Ronan is very single-minded, like Leonardo DiCaprio, and is only interested in young and beautiful girls.

Ronan said to Connie in the co-pilot: "Call Shahai Entertainment and ask them to contact Heath Ledger's agent and put pressure on them according to the contract, no matter what, to ensure that this film is filmed smoothly." ”

It's not that I haven't thought about Heath Ledger's situation before, but I didn't pay attention to it when I thought it was too early.

Fortunately, Heath Ledger is in good form and should not have any problems.

Coming to the hotel at the bottom of the mountain, Connie had already booked the best suite in the hotel for Ronan, and Ronan had dinner with Anne Hathaway and went upstairs.

Up the hill, Heath Ledger receives a call from his agent.

After talking for a while, he put down his phone and sat silently in front of the window, looking at the gradually darkening sky.

Michelle Williams walked over, pulled over a chair, sat down next to him, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. Heath Ledger shook his head slightly.

Michelle Williams was curious: "Since Ronan talked to you alone, you are not in a good mood. She asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's kind of work. Heath Ledger thought for a moment and said, "And a private life." ”

Michelle Williams has dealt with Ronan and signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment more than once, and immediately guessed what Ronan was talking about, and was about to speak immediately......

Heath Ledger stopped her: "Misha, I don't want anyone to interfere too much in my private life. ”

Michelle Williams didn't say anything about it anymore because in her opinion it's a common phenomenon in the circle and it's not a big deal.

She is not Susan Levine after all, and she is in the circle of actors, and she is far less long-term than the producer's vision.

Susan Levine did not hesitate to ask Shahai Entertainment to include a high liquidated damages clause in his contract with Robert Downey Jr. to limit and remind Robert Downey Jr. that he could not do anything or he would go bankrupt.

even directly told Robert Downey Jr. that the banned drugs were the same as she could only choose.

It's no exaggeration to say that Susan Levine pulled Robert Downey Jr. out of the mud and established a full range of precautions to prevent Robert Downey Jr. from repeating the same mistakes.

Heath Ledger looked at the sky outside the window and began to be in a daze again.

Michelle Williams asked, "What do you think?"

"Should an agent guarantee the freedom of a client's private life?" Heath-Ledger smiled, "I think it's time to change agents." ”

The next day was the weekend, and the crew continued filming in the morning, but Ang Lee also knew that the crew was fighting continuously and couldn't collapse too tightly, so he still transferred a half-day break.

It just so happened that someone also came to visit Ang Lee's class.

The crew had a lunch dinner, Ronan, as the boss, privately paid out of his own pocket for a treat, and the crew only had dozens of people, and they couldn't even fill the restaurant under the contract, and James Shams, who came to visit the class, also received an invitation.

At the beginning of the dinner, James Shams greeted Ronan politely, and after taking the meal, he immediately found his old partner Ang Lee.

James Shams has collaborated with Ang Lee many times, starting with "The Wedding Banquet", he has served as the screenwriter of Ang Lee's works, and later directed by Ang Lee in "Sense and Sensibility", "Ice Storm", "Riding with the Devil", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hulk", James Shams is not only a screenwriter, but also a producer.

This person is an Oriental expert, and the first draft of the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", that is, the English version of the script, was written by him.

James Shams ate a few bites of roast beef with potatoes and said to Ang Lee, "Lee, this film is almost finished, right?"

Li An slowly swallowed the potato in his mouth and said, "I will finish shooting in about ten days." ”

James Schamus asked, "Are you thinking about the next work?"

"I haven't started post-production yet. Ang Lee said directly: "It's too early to talk about the next one." ”

James Shams, who is well versed in Oriental culture, said, "In your words, plan ahead. ”

Ang Lee shook his head: "I'm not sure if there's a next movie yet." ”

"How could it not be?" James Schamus knew that the Chinese-language film market was developing, and as long as it worked properly, Ang Lee had a large audience behind him: "You work with Ronan Anderson, you won't miss." ”

Li An happened to see Ronan walking towards this side and said, "Actually, Ronan rarely participates in crew affairs. ”

James Schamus continued: "Delegating power to creators is actually a very smart thing to do. ”

Ang Lee smiled and didn't answer this sentence, as a director, of course he hopes that the project will revolve around the director as the core, but in Hollywood for many years, he also knows that many directors will turn movies into experimental fields once they have too much power.

James Shams also saw Ronan and made a decision in an instant, beckoning, "Mr. Anderson." ”

Ronan originally wanted to dine with Anne Hathaway, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and nodded with a smile: "Hello, James." ”

James Shams volunteered: "There are empty seats here. ”

In any case, James Schamus is an old friend and partner, and Ang Lee is not easy to speak, so he invited, "Ronan, please be seated." ”

Ronan waved his hand quietly at Anne Hathaway, placed the plate on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Thank you for your lunch. James Schamus said.

"You're welcome. Ronan smiled: "The conditions are limited, and the hospitality is not good." ”

James Shams ordered the plate: "The potato roast beef here is very special. ”

After a few words on this unnutritious topic, Ronan turned to say: "James, you have written a lot of scripts for Director Li before, and you have a new work this time?"

Ang Lee was worried that Ronan would misunderstand, and said, "Before "Brokeback Mountain" is complete, I won't think about other work. ”

Ronan nodded, "I never doubted that. ”

James Shams had brought Ronan here for the new project: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Anderson. I do have a new project that suits Li very well, so I made a special trip to see the progress of "Brokeback Mountain". He also didn't want an industry boss like Ronan to misunderstand: "I didn't mean to interfere with Director Li." ”

When the director was filming this project, thinking about the next project is not uncommon in Hollywood, and Ronan has no intention of blaming it at all.

Among the directors who worked with Relativity Entertainment, Guillermo del Toro was thinking about "Hellboy 2" when he filmed "Fatal Bend 2".

Jareif Abrams was still filming Hurricane Rescue 2, but the early planning for Lost was also unfolding under his remote control.

There is also the famous Spielberg, who was preparing "Schindler's List" during the filming of "Jurassic Park" at the same time, and immediately re-filmed "Schindler's List" after filming, directing the post-production of "Jurassic Park" by remote control.

James Shams is just chatting with Ronan and Ang Lee about a new film project.

With a little helplessness, Ang Lee asked, "James, you can't finish the script, right?"

"Nope. James Schamus shook his head: "I just got the adaptation rights, and I have to synthesize your opinions to create the script." ”

Most of Ang Lee's works and scripts were written by the two of them, but the writers were basically James Shams.

Ronan asked, "Can you know what it is?"

James Shams didn't answer, but asked, "Mr. Anderson, have you heard of Erin Chang?"
