When he went out, Ronan briefly asked about "Island Cry".

With his current relationship with Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise did not hide it, and said directly: "I invested part of the money in this film, but the producer and main investor are Miramax, and they have the final say on the specific operation." The North American distributor of "Little Island Cry" is the Weinstein brothers' Emperor Pictures, and it is estimated that it will be handed over to Walt Disney's Bowei International overseas. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "It's impossible to snatch the issue from the Weinstein brothers." ”

Tom Cruise added: "Ronan, I haven't paid much attention to this film since then, and you should know why. ”

Ronan understood and said, "I was abrupt, and I don't want to fight the idea of "Island Cry" anymore. ”

Tom Cruise laughs and says, "I'll call you again when I come across the right movie." ”

Out of the hotel, Ronan got into his own Cadillac and directly asked David to drive back to North Hollywood.

The day after the CAA reception, Ronan asked someone to check on the situation of Shanda Remus.

There are a lot of scammers in Hollywood, and it has happened many times over the years to cheat money under the guise of looking for investment.

Don't look at Ronan's beautiful words at the reception, in fact, the precautions that should be there have never been put down, even if the other party is a customer of CAA, he will be careful.

It's not once or twice that happened to CAA.

Judging from the information compiled by multiple investigations, there is no problem with Shonda Remus.

Ronan was also a little surprised, this woman should be considered a rare elite among black people.

Shonda Remes was born in Chicago, USA, to a PhD supervisor and a CIO father.

For blacks, such a family is quite high-born.

After graduating from high school, Rhames attended the prestigious Dartmouth College, where he earned a bachelor's degree, and then attended the University of Southern California's film school to study film and television.

Rhimes, who has always been a top student, not only successfully received an MFA from the University of Southern California, but also won the prestigious Gary Rosenberg Writing Scholarship.

Of course, Xueba's life was not all smooth sailing, and the development of Shanda Rhames was very unsmooth in the first few years of her entry into Hollywood, and it was not until 1998 that she started her screenwriting career as a screenwriter for the movie "Flying Over the Stars".

Shonda Rhames also worked on a film that Ronan remembers.

She served as the screenwriter of Disney's "Princess Diaries", which just finished filming some time ago, but did not have the right of authorship.

Like James Wong, the sad reality of the screenwriting industry has led screenwriters to aspire to move into other industries, and a screenwriter who does not want to transform into a director and producer is definitely not a good screenwriter.

Shanda Rhames took the idea, and successively approached the agency CAA, the ABC TV drama production department, and the Twentieth Century Fox TV drama department, but a woman's identity as a black woman, coupled with the theme of a technical background, led to almost no one trusting her so-called creativity.

And creativity is something that is worth a lot in Hollywood, and it's worthless if it's not worth anything.

What's more, Shonda Rhames also asked for the position of director and producer.

As we all know, in the production of American dramas, the producer is the most important, followed by the screenwriter, and then the director.

Screenwriters who are heavy enough to keep up with the producers.

It's easy to imagine how a black woman would react in Hollywood to having a black woman as the writer-producer of a project.

Ronan was also a little hesitant, after all, the social environment also affected him, and the most important thing was that he didn't remember who Shonda Remes was.

Isn't it crazy to reuse the words of a black woman?

This prejudice is unspeakable, but it is very common in society.

But as the weekend approached and Ronan spoke with Shonda Remes again, those views gradually changed.

Because Shonda Rhames goes one step further and tells the story and the setting of the characters.

Since she is still in the creative stage, Shonda Rhames is more of an idea than a systematic consideration, and the story and character settings are simple, but they are already a little rudimentary.

"I thought about it for the past two days and decided to set the story in Seattle. "Tells the story of a group of recent medical graduates who undergo their surgical internship at Seattle Saint Grace Hospital to become real doctors," Shonda Remes said to Ronan. ”

Ronan's mind shifted to an American drama he had watched, and asked, "What about the protagonist setting?"

Shonda Rhames didn't hesitate and said directly: "I plan to set the first protagonist as a woman, and her name is Grey, which comes from "Gray's Anatomy". ”

Ronan can finally determine what the idea of this TV series is, the female protagonist called Grey, the doctor, the story takes place in Seattle, or does it start with an intern......

"Grey's Anatomy"!

Didn't Catherine Haigl, who had worked with him before, become famous because of this show?

Ronan has watched the first and second seasons, and it seems that more than a dozen seasons have been filmed later, but it is too long for him, and he has not watched it after the second season.

In fact, only the first season has been watched seriously, and the second season has only been roughly browsed.

Shonda Rhames' project was confirmed, and Ronan certainly won't let it go, and after the start of the new week, the two parties signed a formal agreement of intent to cooperate, but Shonda Rhames needs time to refine his ideas, and then write an outline and script, and this project will be in the text writing stage for a long time to come.

According to Shonda Rhames, it will take at least half a year or so for her to refine the script and project plan.

Ronan knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, and Shahai Entertainment also needed time to prepare, such as taking this opportunity to set up a TV drama production department.

The two sides only reached a cooperation intention, and then specific negotiations will wait for Shonda Rhames to come up with a script and a plan.

Ronan also sent someone to assist Shonda Remus in his work.

A few days later, word came from Shonda Rhames that in order to complete the script writing, Shonda Rhames was going to Seattle, contacted three large hospitals, and would have a three-month field experience before and after.

This kind of medical drama can't be written with a stuffy head.

If Shonda Rhames ends up with a romance script dressed as a medical drama, Ronan will definitely not work with her.

For now, Shonda Rhames' creative professionalism is at least fine.

After all, this is a reality-themed TV series involving real society, and the screenwriter can't always imagine what the hospital and doctors are like, so he ignores the basic facts and logic, and writes the book as he imagined.

Realistic themes are also beneficial, as long as you don't find big-name stars, the investment in the first season is relatively small.

In this era, big-name stars rarely lead TV series.

Strictly speaking, this is a very embarrassing thing in the film industry.

The safest strategy is undoubtedly to shoot an episode first, and then look at the specific effect before filming and producing subsequent content.

Many American dramas adopted this production strategy at the beginning.

The work can never be done, and in his busy spare time, Ronan did not forget to go to the gym.

Ronan has a long-term membership at the fitness club, and Tina, the personal trainer, can come at any time as long as he goes to work.

In the middle of the afternoon, he rushed to the clubhouse, changed his clothes, and entered the fitness room dedicated to Coach Tina, and he found that someone had already started to work out.

Angelina Jolie wore an off-white corset that showed off her flat belly, swaying her two toned long legs and sweating on the treadmill.

Twenty-five-year-old Angelina Jolie is in the best stage of her life, not only at the peak of her body and face, but also with the wild temperament left over from the transformation from a swinger.

Frankly speaking, in terms of single-round appearance, Angelina Jolie is not the best batch in Hollywood, but her outstanding figure and wild temperament are definitely sexy stunners.

Angelina Jolie also saw Ronan, Ronan smiled at her, and Angelina Jolie nodded in greeting.

Coach Tina came over at this time and told Ronan about the fitness project to be carried out today, Ronan remembered the main points, and then stepped on the exercise bike and rode rhythmically.

A lot of mechanical repetitive movements, doing too much is actually boring, fitness is not as interesting as imagined, even a boring process.

Ronan was a little distracted, pedaling the car and remembering the news from Robert Lee, who had already made an appointment for him, and next week he was going to New York to talk to the copyright side.

The other party is in a predicament and is trying to get out of the predicament by exchanging the character copyright for funds, which is definitely the best opportunity for him.

After next year's summer file, everything will change drastically, and the other party will inevitably realize that the value of the role in their hands is far more than their own estimates.

Although their estimated value is already high.

"Concentrate!" Coach Tina's voice rang in her ears: "Speed up!"

Ronan quickly came back to his senses, and his mental attention was all focused on fitness.

According to the plan made by Coach Tina, Ronan rode for twenty-five minutes to work out single, and after a short break, he went to do barbell squats, and after only doing it twice, Angelina Jolie came to another machine next to him and did barbell squats as well.

"Chest up, belly tight!" Coach Tina shouted next to her: "Lift your buttocks!"

Ronan took advantage of the gap between putting down the barbell and glanced over there, perhaps due to the impact of filming "Tomb Raider", Angelina Jolie could see obvious muscle lines.

That's what a sexy woman should look like.

Think about her previous life after 2010, Angelina Jolie has lost her shape, and in some street photos, the exposed legs are simply skinny.

Ten minutes later, the program was changed again, this time lasting a total of an hour, and then Tina sent Ronan and Angelina Jolie to the free area, allowing them to relax their muscles with a soothing walk.

The two had time to chat a few words.
