"A very happy couple, aren't they?"

A voice came from the side, Ronan turned around, Angelina Jolie had already walked over, and said, "The most enviable couple in Hollywood." ”

Ronan felt that this didn't seem right, and didn't delve into it, so he said casually, "Long time no see, Julie." ”

"It's been a long time. Angelina Jolie retracted her gaze and looked at Ronan: "We're old friends too, aren't we? ”

Ronan told the truth: "Acquaintances negotiate easily to hurt feelings. ”

Angelina-Jolie shook her head: "Are you afraid that I will make excessive conditions?"

Ronan laughed, "I don't know how to say no to people. ”

Angelina Jolie is more familiar with Ronan than Brad Pitt, and she has been working out under the same coach for a while, so she certainly won't believe this kind of nonsense.

"What did Pete talk to you about just now?" asked Angelina-Jolie.

"Talk about cooperation. Ronan said simply: "Talk about the character and this film." ”

He asked, "How's that?

Angelina-Jolie let out a smile: "It's okay." She seemed to be feeling good: "This training and shooting, I became partners with Brad Pitt, the two of us together were a different thing entirely, we had to learn to alternate with a pistol full of ammunition, attack cover, shoot moving targets, although it was a bit crazy, but we learned to trust each other. ”

Ronan said: "Sounds very good, the two characters will have a tacit understanding?"

Angelina Jolie is a person who will not deny at all: "Very tacit understanding." ”

"You're a good action character, Julie. Ronan added, "It's a good route, you can try more of it." ”

It was the action role that made Angelina Jolie famous and really squeezed into the ranks of the second tier of Hollywood, and it was the same action role that made Angelina Jolie step into the 20 million club.

Angelina Jolie suddenly said: "This role has really taught me a lot and made me discover something of myself. She glanced at the door of the studio without a trace: "For example, although women are independent, they still need men." ”

Ronan nodded: "I always believe that women have the freedom to pursue any goal. ”

"I'm leaving. Angelina-Jolie offered her farewell: "We'll talk about it another day." ”

Ronan smiled: "Always contact." ”

Angelina Jolie, in addition to the studio, came to the door of Warner Studios and happened to see Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston in the same car.

Because the entrance to the studio was the hardest hit area by the paparazzi, Angelina Jolie didn't look much, got into her car, and went home.

As usual, quite a few paparazzi drove behind her.

It didn't take long for Ronan's Rolls-Royce Phantom to also leave Warner Studios.

Later, he went to an Italian restaurant to have dinner with producer Shonda Remus, the third season of "Grey's Anatomy" has just ended, and it has achieved amazing ratings, and it is already one of the top American dramas on the four major public movie networks.

On the DVDs of the first and second seasons alone, "Grey's Anatomy" sold nearly $95 million in sales.

The DVD for the third season will be released before Thanksgiving, and sales are expected to exceed $35 million in the first week.

In the first two seasons, Relativity Entertainment has made $47.2 million in profits from "Grey's Anatomy."

This drama will continue to be filmed.

The meeting between Shonda Remus and Ronan was to re-discuss the remuneration of the main creators of the crew.

Ronan agreed in principle to increase the remuneration of the main creators of the crew, but the specific negotiations had to be negotiated with the legal department of Shahai Entertainment.

Although the main creators of the crew, including Shonda Remus, have signed long-term contracts with Shahai Entertainment, the long-term contracts are more about limiting the sky-high prices of the target in the sequel, rather than infinitely lowering the salary.

Sign a long-term contract, and the remuneration paid to the target object should also be in line with the market situation.

As long as the other party continues to create value, Ronan doesn't mind improving their treatment.

Similarly, the salaries of the main creators who shoot other sequel films are also gradually rising.

For example, in "Spy 3", which has been completely produced, Matt Damon's salary has risen to $12.5 million.

This film will usher in the end of the trilogy next summer.

Ronan would pause the set and wait for a while before deciding how to start.

Like "Stumbling Block Project", it is a very good TV series shooting theme, and after the end of the movie trilogy for a period of time, maybe another TV episode can be filmed.

As for the former "Spy 4", three movies have been filmed in a row, and if Matt Damon refuses to come back and continue to play, it won't be interesting.

Jason Byrne can't be allowed to live in the mouths of other characters.

Once in the eyes of fans of the "Spy" series, there were only four parts in this series, not five.

The editing of "Spy 3" is quite good, more compact than the first two, and the level of Paul Greengrass has improved significantly in each one.

Jessica Filton once said to Ronan, "Editing is a craft, and you can only excel if you keep practicing it." It doesn't matter if the material is good or bad, keep editing! that's when you're editing something that's not very convincing and making it better, that's when you're getting the most out of it. Turning something you can't see into something that's fun is actually more challenging than the one you cut at the end. ”

Matt Damon also fulfilled a three-film contract with Relativity Entertainment and switched to the fantasy adventure film "The Brothers Grimm".

It's the Brothers Grimm, the famous fairy tale authors, but in the film they will be transformed into monster hunters.

I don't know if there will be a prince of practice in it......

Ronan has seen the news more than once, and it is said that the scale of the prototype story of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is jaw-dropping.

Dark plus super-large-scale version of the prototype fairy tale adaptation movie, I don't know if there is a market?

Ronan has seriously considered this question, if Snow White and the princes appear on the screen with a subversive image, how will the audience be accepted?

This is the "True-Ruined Childhood" movie series.

If you really want to start, you still need to conduct market research first.

In contrast, planting potatoes on Mars can start the first step of the plan.

Ronan approached Lindsay Robbie and handed her the synopsis of the story that she had prepared earlier, saying, "Find the right gunslinger and create first." ”

Lindsey Beal heard Ronan mention it and asked curiously, "This is the story you told about growing potatoes on Mars?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "It's more hardcore, find a reliable one." ”

Lindsay Beale took a quick look at the not-so-long synopsis of the story and said: "This gunman is not easy to find, you need to know a little bit about astronautics, you need to know a little bit of botany, and you need to know the general situation on Mars......"

"Let's find out first. Ronan didn't insist on it: "If you can't find it, just write it into a script." ”

Lindsay-Beale nodded and then asked, "Are there any specific requirements?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the Martian version of Robinson Crusoe, but it's just a hardcore sci-fi class." ”

Lindsey Beale was a little skeptical: "This genre has a small readership. ”

Ronan understands: "Many people are afraid of watching science fiction, especially hard science fiction, mainly because they feel that there are too many scientific terms, scientific concepts are too advanced, and they can't fully understand it, so the story must be easy to understand." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "You can use such a routine, every time the actor encounters a problem, that is, a big problem of life and death, as a plot propulsion, the basic development routine is like this - analyze the problem, make hypotheses, verify on a small scale, determine the plan, and carry out the implementation ......"

Listening to Ronan's words, Lindsay Beale wrote them down one by one.

Ronan continued: "In short, make each plot unbelievably real, with a sense of realism at your fingertips. ”

"Okay. Lindsay Beale finished recording and said seriously: "It's not easy to do this. Ronan, even if he finds the right gunner, may require a long creative cycle. ”

Ronan knows very well that this is not a bloody elementary school that loves to death, and "The Martian" is heavily biased towards the hard sci-fi genre, and the difficulty of creation is much greater than that of "Twilight" and the like.

"I have patience. Ronan said.

Lindsay Beale carefully put away the outline and notes, changed the subject, and said: "The stories told by Lydia Hearst, the TV series project called "Gossip Girl", the script has been finalized, and now it has moved to the actual preparation stage. ”

Ronan asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

Lindsay Beale will be the producer of the series: "The budget is ample and it solves most of the trouble. The project is fully cooperative with CAA, CAA will provide a suitable creative team for the project, and currently recommends several director candidates, I have met with them, two of them look good, and you will help me do the final review later. ”

This is Lindsay Beal's first independent producer, and Ronan won't push all the work on her, saying, "Yes, contact me if you have any questions." ”

"There's a real problem. Lindsay Beale said: "People from CAA broke into my office and repeatedly recommended Lindsay Lohan to me to make her the lead actress, and after I flatly refused, several agents came over again and again to try to convince me. ”

She sighed, "Probably because I'm not qualified." ”

Ronan pinched his chin and said, "Lindsay Lohan as the heroine? What are you kidding! I'll call Brian Lorde." ”

Lindsey Beale said: "I also don't think she's a good fit. She was a little helpless: "Lindsay Lohan's father came once, and it was ...... It's hard to describe. ”

"Be tough when it's time to be tough. Ronan said, "Lindsay, you have the whole theory of relativity behind you. ”
