Back in his hotel room, Ronan said to Connie, "Tidying up what that girl said, it should be a good movie theme." ”

Connie then understood why the boss was so interested in these things.

No wonder the company's films have been successful one after another, and this keen observation and ability to never forget to find the subject matter of the film is truly admirable.

"Okay. Connie hurriedly responded, "I'll sort it out tonight." ”

Ronan then asked, "Connie, I remember that you were a top student who graduated from business school, did you hear about this when you were in school?"

Connie said honestly, "No. She thought of what Natalie Doma had said, and said, "When I was studying, I focused on my studies and internships, and I had less contact with irrelevant matters. ”

Ronan thought for a while, and then asked: "I dropped out of school relatively early, not long after you came out of school, in your opinion, is there a similar situation in the famous schools in the United States?"

Connie thought for a moment and said, "Not knowing doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, and if you extrapolate from the business climate in American society and what I know, a similar situation must exist." ”

Ronan nodded lightly: "What you said is very good, not knowing does not mean that it does not exist." ”

Just like in the more closed era, it is really beautiful to stand outside the circle and watch Hollywood, but not understanding some of the rules does not mean that they do not exist.

For example, many people have not even heard of this word, but it is real in the rock circles of the East and the West, and even some female stars are born in flesh and blood.

The rock star who the famous Beeby Bill slept with had a reinforced row, and Liv Taylor also came with it during the Flesh and Skin period.

Connie asked, "Are you really going to make a movie like this?"

Ronan said with a smile: "It's just a preliminary idea at the moment, and we will wait until we return to Los Angeles." ”

If you really want to shoot such a subject, you must have more understanding and grasp more of the actual situation.

But from the contact with Natalie Dorma, Ronan found that the prices of these people are undoubtedly very high, and the status of students at prestigious universities has undoubtedly become a proof of their high price.

Some people make it easy to make money, some people make it difficult to make money, and when this difference is linked together, it is easy to form a deformed industrial chain.

Ronan gradually had a clear idea, this type of movie must take the route of rushing to the award, and the Oscar must be the ultimate goal.

As a result, universities in the UK are not the best choice, and the first choice must be in the United States.

The next day, Connie's compiling information was transferred to Ronan, and in addition to Natalie Dorma's words last night, she also gathered a lot of information from the Internet, and even there is a special website in the UK that does similar intermediary business.

Ronan put the information away and put it aside in a memo for now, as there were other businesses to attend to in the UK.

Sand Valley's negotiation team settled the Bear Grylls cooperation negotiations, and Ronan signed a formal agreement with Bear Grylls on behalf of Sand Sea Entertainment.

Starting in September, Shahai Entertainment will launch a full cooperation with Bell Grylls.

According to the agreement, the first project to be worked on will be the transatlantic operation of Bell Grylls and his team's rubber boat.

Sand Sea Entertainment has received a free license from Bell Grylls to follow this crossing adventure throughout the journey.

The second project is Ronan's "Survival in the Wilderness", which will be transferred to the preparation of the project next year after Bell Grylls has completed his transatlantic crossing, and is expected to start shooting in the second half of 2003 or the first half of 2004.

The filming of "Survival in the Wild" can be more tedious than the average medium-to-large film production in Hollywood, and it is a very complicated task just to choose the location for each episode, and to write the script and finalize the process according to the actual situation on location.

Ronan didn't think it would be too long to take a year out to prepare.

Bell Grylls signed a three-season contract with Shahai Entertainment, and no matter how long he said, he refused to continue to talk, and the salary was not high, according to Bell Grylls's current actual situation, the salary of the first season was $300,000, and the subsequent seasons increased by $100,000.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

After the signing was completed, Ronan shook hands with Bell Grylls, and Bell Grylls smiled all over his face: "Happy cooperation. ”

Bell Grylls is in a good mood, and this time he crossed the Atlantic, finally with the protection of the media, and no longer an obscure move.

As an adventurer, do you want to be obscure, or do you want to be famous all over the world?

Actually, it's not even a multiple-choice question.

Ronan said to Bell Grylls, "I wish you all the best on your Atlantic crossing!"

Bell Grylls smiled and said, "Thank you for your sponsorship. ”

"Don't be so polite. Ronan said: "We are now partners, and these are all within the power of Shahai Entertainment. ”

Bear Grylls thought about the future show he would work with, saying, "I just want to get this crossing right now and then dive into a new adventure, I can't wait." ”

Ronan laughed, "It will start soon." ”

Bear Grylls suddenly said: "Hopefully in the future we will have the opportunity to go on adventures together." ”

Ronan responded, "There will be such an opportunity. ”

A person like him, who is accustomed to enjoying life, will definitely be seriously uncomfortable to go to the wilderness to play Bell's set.

"That's right. Ronan took the initiative to change the subject: "After I go back, people will start to make relevant preparations, you are an expert in adventure, do you have any suggestions?"

Bell Grylls has spoken to Ronan a lot before, saying, "It's best not to have the same location selection for each episode of the first season. Personally, I recommend that when looking for a location, focus on places like rainforests, hills, deserts, ice fields, swamps, and islands to find the right place to shoot. ”

Ronan nodded, "I made a note of it." ”

When it's time to listen to the advice of professionals, Ronan doesn't have to be blindly confident.

When you go back to this project, you need to hire professionals to start the preliminary preparations.

A few days after signing with Bear Grylls, Ronan took a flight back to Los Angeles and had a project meeting at Sand Sea Entertainment, the focus of which was "Survival in the Wild."

"It's a realistic reality show. ”

In the conference room, Ronan asked Connie to send the materials to several people in charge of the project production department, saying: "I have signed a contract with a British adventurer, and the theme of the show is that each episode will let him enter dangerous wild places such as deserts, swamps, forests, canyons, etc., and try to find a way back to civilized society in order to get out of danger in an extremely harsh environment." ”

He added: "The host will be in a real environment, using his professional survival skills to try to escape from danger and find a way back to human civilization." ”

George Clint said: "When it comes to preparation, you need to be very professional, and we need to recruit people. ”

Ronan nodded and said directly, "You are responsible for this." ”

"No problem. "George Clint has a blind trust in Ronan's ability to pick projects.

The rest did not express their opinions, they were very clear about their position, capable executors.

Ronan added: "This show is done well, and its profitability may even exceed that of popular movies, and we can build a series of peripheral industry chains around the show." For example, outdoor products, survival video games, survival training camps, etc. ”

Having said that, in fact, Bell Grylls has also led the exploration craze, many travelers out of the city and into the wilderness to explore, many of them blindly and impulsively encountered all kinds of misfortunes.

For people who have not undergone professional training, blindly and impulsively entering no man's land to explore is simply gambling with their lives, and it is the kind of gamble that loses nine out of ten.

In his previous life, since the popularity of "Survival in the Wilderness", it triggered a ratings frenzy of outdoor adventures, and also brought a strong visual and psychological shock to many people, and Bell became a household name superhero.

This is a show after all, although Bell is indeed an explorer and used to be a special forces, but in addition to Bell as the host, the show also has a production, filming and logistics team by his side.

Before the filming and production of each episode of the program, the production team of "Survival in the Wilderness" has to investigate the terrain of each filming location, plan the route and plan the shooting script, and make some filming preparations and logistics preparations, which is almost equivalent to the shooting process of a movie.

No one can deny that Bell has a wealth of wilderness survival skills, strong physique and brave spirit, "Survival in the Wilderness" brings people a lot of wilderness survival knowledge, and wilderness survival skills, but also plays a good role in outdoor adventure enthusiasts.

But blindly run into the wild to follow the trend......

The wilderness is treacherous, the terrain is complex, and the meteorological conditions are changeable, these factors will bring huge safety hazards to ordinary people.

Ronan had seen too much news about this in his previous life.

All kinds of adventure reality shows, it's a mess, but life is your own, those casual adventures in outdoor behavior,

Not only did he suffer himself, but even the rescuers were injured or even killed because of saving people.

finalized the preliminary preparations such as "Survival in the Wilderness", and Ronan asked Connie to contact the investigation and consulting company that had cooperated many times, and specially hired them to conduct relevant investigations on female students in various universities in the United States, and collect as much information as possible to prepare for the subsequent film adaptation.

Ronan decided to move the project forward.

Even, he even thought about the style of the film, the dark realism in the glitz and dazzling.

And an invitation to watch the film was also sent to Ronan at this time.
