Returning to Los Angeles from Rosario, Ryan didn't even return home and went straight to Burbank.

While many of them are due to work, the main one is that Nicole is in Jenkins Films' editing studio, busy with the director in post-production of "Island Cry".

After several years of development, Jenkins Films is no longer the original shell company, although it still maintains the production model of account-sharing cooperation, it also has its own full-time staff, and the office location moved into a single-family three-story office building last year.

To be precise, the building used to belong to Cartlock Films, the same company that produced the "Terminator" series, and in '94 Cullock raised $100 million to shoot "Cut Throat Island," a film that nearly ended a genre.

After the film was released last year, it only got less than $10 million at the box office, and it became a complete failure.

Its helmsman, Mario? Casa in James? Under Cameron's introduction, he made a special trip to Australia to find Ryan, so Jenkins Films completed the first acquisition since its birth, not only with professional personnel and equipment, but also with its own distribution channels.

In addition, Ryan's other plan is also in operation, as early as the beginning of the year, he asked Julis? Stewart has sent out a job advertisement to the whole of the United States, hiring screenwriters!

That's right, it's to recruit screenwriters!

No one knows better than Ryan that after entering the new century, Hollywood's commercial screenwriting will be completely reduced to an assembly line, and it will become the norm for a dozen or even dozens of screenwriters to jointly write the same movie script.

The most typical is the hugely successful "Breaking Bads 1", with nearly 20 screenwriters involved in the script and at least 30 revisions - not including Drew? The number of times Barrymore, the boss, was revised on the spot - some screenwriters specialized in fights, and some screenwriters specialized in love. Some screenwriters specialize in writing dialogue, and they do their own job and successfully complete a typical popcorn script.

As Ryan said before, after entering the nineties, almost all the bridges were about to be used up by commercial movies, even the hugely successful "Titanic", the storyline is also not new, and the bridge between the poor boy and the rich girl has appeared for decades, but it is just caught in the sinking of the Titanic, showing the brilliance of human nature in the shipwreck.

Even "The Matrix", which is considered to be creatively excellent. After breaking it down, you will find that most of the scenes are still the usual Hollywood techniques and bridges.

The bridges are still those bridges, creativity and new ideas are the most scarce things in this era, but Ryan is the last thing to lack.

A person's energy is limited, Ryan can't sit in front of his notebook every day and write down all the movies he has watched, he needs a team, a great team of screenwriters. Turn his ideas and written outline settings into a complete script.

Ryan just had to set up the frame template and let the rest of the people fill it in with specific sections and content until he was satisfied. He'll just let these guys fill those typical popcorn-style movies.

Of course, he's still going to keep two or three scripts a year completely out of his own hands, so that those classic movies are marked with eye-catching Ryan? Imprint of Jenkins-esque works.

Walking into the office building belonging to Jenkins Films, Ryan waved to the front desk. Straight to Julis? Stewart's office.

"Hi Julis." Just with Julis? Stewart said hello, and Ryan saw two children playing on the other side. "Taylor, how did you get here?"

"Nicole brought me here." The blonde little curly hair vibrated and said, "You're going to Mexico, Austin is sick again, and no one is playing with me, so Nicole brought me here, at least there's Christine here with me." ”

"Hi, Ryan." As if it had been rehearsed, another little guy beckoned to him.

"Hello, Christine." Waving to the tomboy, Ryan looked at Julis again, "Where's Nicole?" On the second floor? ”

"In the editing room."

"I'll go see Nicole first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Ryan had just walked out of the office when a crisp shout rang out, "Wait for me, I'm going too." ”

"And my ......"

In the sound of pedaling footsteps, the two little guys followed, and then Taylor said proudly, "Don't be afraid of her, Christine, as long as there is Nicole, you can bully Ryan casually, don't you think it's fun to bully a big star like him?" ”

"What if Nicole isn't there?" Ryan glanced at her.

"Ah......" The little girl scratched the curly hair on her head vigorously, and then showed a flattering smile, "Ryan, aren't we good friends?" ”

"My dear, it turns out that you still know that we are friends."

After speaking, he pointed to the editing room and made a shut up gesture to the two little guys, these two people have grown up in the film company since they were children, so they naturally know the rules and obediently shut their mouths.

Nicole was exchanging ideas with the director, as if she had a heart, and when Ryan pushed the door and walked into the editing room, she turned her head to look, but didn't say anything, and after giving her a look, she went about her work.

Wait a minute! Ryan naturally understood what she meant, pulled the two children, and sat quietly on the side, and after about a few minutes, Nicole frowned and walked over.

"Didn't go home?"

"I don't have you at home." Ryan's voice could only be heard by a few people around him.

"I don't have time to mess around with you, I still have a job." Looking at Ryan's somewhat tanned skin, the distress in Nicole's eyes flashed.

"It's good that you're busy, I still have to go to the editorial department."

After Nicole left, Ryan looked to the side, "You two, stay honest here, don't be trick-or-treating." ”

"Hmm!"

"Hmph~"

Listening to the two distinct voices, Ryan shook his head, went downstairs to greet Julies, and went to the conference room of the editorial department.

There were more than a dozen men and women sitting in the conference room, Ryan was at the head of the conference table, knocked on the table lightly, and said, "The purpose of Jenkins Films' editorial department must have been understood before entering the company, I have read your resume, and you have rich experience in the industry. ”

There are no so-called newcomers sitting here, although they are not famous, they are a group of screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for many years and have been unsuccessful.

"Let's put it this way." Ryan stood up and paced a few steps, "You should know that I have a lot of ideas, but time limits me to turn them into words or pictures, and I will provide you with detailed ideas and settings, and you need to complete them. ”

"You have been up and down in Hollywood for many years, you should know that the film industry has developed to this day, and it is difficult to innovate many bridges, and the biggest selling point of a script is often in creativity, as long as those scenes that seem a little cliché can perfectly match the creativity and theme of the script, it is a very good script."

"I'll give you a good deal......"

Hearing Ryan say this, many people showed a bright smile, and the treatment provided by Jenkins Films was already the top level of ordinary screenwriters.

"Also, anyone who participated in the compilation of the script can sign it in the screenwriting column, and if anyone can come up with an independent idea and idea, and it really has market value, I will introduce you to the film company. In the future, when the contract expires and you want to change jobs, I can also write a letter of recommendation for you that matches your experience. ”

The eyes of these people all radiate a fine light, and the signed script is made into a movie and is successful, which means a qualification, Ryan? Jenkins' handwritten letter of recommendation is equivalent to knocking on the door of various film companies.

They are all characters who have been in Hollywood for many years, so they naturally know the weight of those words.

The carrot was thrown out, and then it was the stick.

"I believe you have carefully read the confidentiality agreement signed, and any information I provide is limited to discussion within the editorial department, and not even a single letter shall be passed on!"

If someone did dare to break the contract, Ryan didn't mind having Lawyer Wilson organize a team of lawyers to sue the other party to the point of bankruptcy.

"Well, I trust your work ethic."

Ryan gestured to Julis's assistant, and she immediately sent them a copy of the material, which was not something peculiar, just a very ordinary caricature.

"Men in Black......" someone muttered.

Although the content of the comics is somewhat different, they all have the same name - "Men in Black" - and the comics are sent along with a script outline and main premise written by Ryan.

This comic has been born for some years, and its reputation is not very famous, Ryan has been getting its film adaptation rights for a long time, and when he took back the film adaptation rights of "Spider-Man" from Sony Columbia, he almost made a deal for it.

"I will leave you an email address, if you have any questions, you can send me an email, and after the script is completed, I will review it and propose corresponding revisions."

The first time he did this, Ryan was ready to make dozens or even hundreds of revisions to this script, and after all, there was a run-in between the two sides.

"Julis, I'll leave this to you for now."

The brief meeting quickly dispersed, and when the others were gone, Ryan said to the head of the company.

"No problem, Ryan."

In fact, after the completion of the acquisition of Carlock Films, most of the day-to-day administrative work was handed over to Mario? Casa.

The once-ambitious producer, who suffered a major blow after the failure of Cut Throat Island, vowed never to be directly involved in the production of the film again.

"By the way, Ryan, don't forget the premiere of 'Independence Day.'" Julis reminds that this is the highlight of the collaboration between Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

"It depends on the situation, there may not be time."

"Independence Day" is naturally going to premiere on Independence Day, when Ryan's vacation is long over. Cameron's character will continue to shoot even during the Independence Day holiday. (To be continued......)
