Outside the window, the night was dark, and the lights were bright, and Ronan sat behind his desk, carefully flipping through a professional book on funds.

Whenever he saw a point, he would stop and take notes.

Occasionally, I would fall into contemplation, comparing the differences between the two sides of the Pacific Ocean.

There is no way, there are too many differences between China and the United States, from society to humanities to law.

For someone coming from across the Pacific Ocean, it's not just their habits that need to change.

Fortunately, Ronan has inherited most of the memories from Anderson Jr., and so far there have been no major mistakes.

Seeing the part about the film fund, Ronan took the "California Entertainment Act" next to it, and the two corroborated each other.

Whether it is the "California Entertainment Act" or Hollywood's various industry regulations, he has read it before, although he can't be familiar with it, but he also has a general impression.

Here, too, there is the question of the law being dead, but the man is alive.

These laws and regulations ensure the normal operation of the Hollywood system, and also bring great vitality to the huge industrial machine of Hollywood, but there are also countless cases of sidekicks in the industry.

Only by understanding these can we take advantage of the loopholes.

Of course, Ronan's biggest purpose in studying is to learn to enrich himself.

He had recently made two trips to USC to find Anderson Jr.'s former mentor, Professor Johnson, and he received a number of highly specialized books from him.

Although Professor Johnson is an academic, he also worked hard in Hollywood for a long time before teaching, and has rare practical experience.

This is also the network he picked up that belonged to Anderson Jr. but was ignored by Anderson Jr.

An old man who is nearly 60 years old, has worked in Hollywood for many years, and has been teaching at the USC Film School for more than 10 years, represents a huge network of relationships.

Little Anderson just wanted to push forward on his own, and even threw aside the network of mentors who valued him.

Ronan really didn't know what to say.

He knows one thing very well, he is not a genius, and Anderson Jr. is not a super genius, even if the knowledge of the two is combined, there are many shortcomings, if you want to succeed in entrepreneurship, opportunity is the key, and ability is the foundation.

Returning to 1998 brought him a unique and huge opportunity, and his ability was urgently needed to be further improved.

On the other side of the Pacific, Ronan has the ability to lead a departmental team, but no matter how large the scope is, it will be very difficult.

Reliving again did not bring an increase in ability.

It's not entirely true to say that, and many of Anderson's strengths have been left to him, such as his ability to play.

The script of "Human Removal Plan" has changed drafts three times, and Ronan has basically revised it, as for whether to change it in the later stage, it will be said after the director is in place.

The agent I met tonight, is the recommended director reliable?

Ronan shook his head, and when he saw someone later, it would naturally be clear, and his energy turned back to reading and studying, and after reading the part about the film fund, he picked up a book about producers and read it.

Hollywood is typically the responsibility of the producer, and the producer talent is at the heart of a film project.

The indie project is relatively simple and not so elaborate, and "The Human Eradication Project" is not a union project, and it doesn't have to follow all kinds of rules and regulations, but it is not easy to operate.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that Ronan put down the book in his hand.

After studying for a long time, people will inevitably get dizzy and need appropriate adjustments, so he will check the latest social trends through the Internet.

In North America in the late nineties, Internet penetration was already high.

Ronan found Netflix's website, which, as he remembered, was a small start-up company that offered videotapes and fledgling disc rentals in a pitiful amount.

The copyright system in North America is relatively perfect, and if you lease it without obtaining a license, Netflix will definitely be doomed.

If this company wants to develop, it must first solve the problem of film sources.

Ronan thought about it for a while and sent Mary a work email, asking her to go to Netflix after work tomorrow.

Subsequently, he closed the website and opened the blog.

Blogs are not a new thing on the Internet, and the influence of this relatively primitive online self-media is far less than that after 2000.

Ronan had already applied for the blog, which was a retreat from the previous preparations.

In fact, there is a big risk in what we are doing at present, and in case of an accident, there is another way to go.

Publishing novels through blogs is something that many new North American writers have done in previous lives, such as the original author of "The Martian".

Ronan had read the original book and had the idea of "The Martian", but quickly gave up.

After reading a novel, if you are impressed, you will naturally be able to remember the main plot, and it is difficult to remember the specifics.

"The Martian" is biased towards hard science fiction, which involves a lot of knowledge in physics, biology and astronautics, and Ronan has very little reserves in this area, and now it is impossible to spend a lot of time looking up information, so he can only give up.

Turning a popular movie into a novel is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

Ronan doesn't have that much time, even if Anderson Jr. left behind a good ability to write, a simple routine novel that does not involve advanced professional knowledge is the best choice.

So, Ronan picked a novel that he thought was simpler and really appealing - Fifty Shades.

The content of this novel is neither advanced business operations, nor professional subject knowledge, nor does it involve intrigue that consumes brain cells, and the biggest features are Mary Sue, Jack Sue, and sadomasochism.

With his idea, after writing the outline, set aside half an hour to an hour every day to write.

No one can guarantee the success of the novel, but it can be practiced as a play.

As a man, forget about Mary Sue, Ronan can't figure out women as a first-person perspective, and it is awkward to describe it from the perspective of a female masochist.

It's not a simple transformation.,It's a sadomasochistic relationship between S and M.,Hard to write.,It's not about making yourself a psychopath.。

Since he is going to write, it must be done from the perspective of a male abuser.

The male protagonist, you can learn from himself, a handsome man who inherited a small business that is facing bankruptcy, has worked hard to make a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and has become a real top figure in society, but behind the infinite scenery, the handsome guy has an unknown side - he likes sadomasochistic games.

Since the male protagonist has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, the female protagonist must not have only one, and there must be a few more beauties, not only entangled with the male protagonist in love and hate, but also playing various large-scale games.

Well...... Between several heroines, you can also play games with each other.

Thinking of this, two lines of poetry flashed in Ronan's head: Golden scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.

The scale still needs to be paid attention to, although the scale of the novel here is very open, it can't really be made into anything in the pool.

Ronan didn't think about the situation of a single heroine at all, a handsome guy with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and bad habits, how could he hang on a Mary Sue.

Writing down the setting of the male protagonist and identifying several main female characters, Ronan considered the main plot, but his brows became more and more furrowed.

Because he found a problem, this novel seems to be easier to write than hard science fiction or brain-burning, but it also needs professional knowledge!

The most important thing is sadomasochism, which is quite a professional and serious topic, how to write it without touching it?

Not even an experience, can it be appealing to write about it?

Take the time to watch a film about it? Or do you go on a field trip to the San Fernando Valley? or......

Ronan has a bit of a headache, just like going to Abu Dhabi to raise money, even if the reborn has advanced information, it is not easy to really do things.

Ability is really needed! Ronan is deeply aware that ability is insufficient!

Sighing, he stopped thinking about this aspect of things, and first figured out the outline and main plot setting, and really involved the relevant plot, and then he would talk about it.

I really can't do it, so I'll find a way to find inspiration.

It's all about the future cause.

For several days in a row, Ronan was busy with the company's affairs during the day, and after charging at night, he wrote the outline of "Fifty Shadows", and he was very busy.

During this period, I also had dinner with a small agent and finalized the extras to use.

At the start of the new week, Ronan receives a call from the agent named Edward, who will visit Shahai Entertainment with the director's client the next day.

This director is called James-Wong, which translates to James Wong in Chinese.

Hearing this name, Ronan felt a little familiar, and instantly thought of the Chinese director of "Saw Horror", but if you think about it carefully, it is not right, the Chinese director named James is probably still studying, it is impossible to come to Hollywood, and he has directed several "The X-Files".

Fortunately, I will be able to see me soon.
