Due to the popularity of "Blair the Witch", Ryan easily passed the application for membership in several unions, including the famous Producers Union and Directors Guild.

If the Producers' Union can dominate Hollywood, the Directors' Guild is second only to the Producers' Union.

George Lucas has quit the Directors Guild and has never applied for membership again, but he has never quit the Producers Union.

Of course, none of Hollywood's unions can be taken lightly.

As the North American media and the public became more and more skeptical, Twentieth Century Fox finally paid the buyout rights fee, a total of $800,000.

However, 10 percent of it belongs to Helen's commission, and more than $50,000 in debt has to be deducted, leaving Ryan with just over $600,000 left in his account, and he is still some way from being a millionaire.

As for the box office ladder sharing, it will take a while, and if it slows down a little, it is likely to wait until "Blair the Witch" is completely released in North America.

Of course, generally speaking, a blockbuster film, as the copyright buyout party, Twentieth Century Fox, will not delay for a few million dollars for too long, and will also take out a part of the income as a reward for the director, actors, and crew.

Maybe not much, but there will be.

By the way, there is also a celebration banquet.

Twentieth Century Fox is likely to have a big celebration.

It's just that none of this has much to do with Ryan.

According to the funds currently received, Ryan can only make careful calculations, and it is impossible to spend the money in one go, so as to prevent the follow-up funds from not arriving on time.

And the studio that Helen helped register has been successfully completed, and he is too lazy to name it, so he simply calls it Ryan's studio.

The studio is a shell company, registered in Delaware, a relatively low-tax state like most Hollywood companies, sharing an office with at least five companies and an operator.

No way, the taxes in Los Angeles have always been terrifying, and Delaware is much better, and even the registration locations of large film companies such as Disney and Paramount are placed in Delaware.

However, Ryan's plan is to rent another office near Star Brokerage and hire an operator--cleaner.

Delaware is so far away, and it's obviously not convenient to share an operator with five companies.

At the same time, he also needed an assistant to take care of some daily things, and Helen could not be allowed to stay in the position of assistant.

The matter of renting an office did not bother Ryan, and with the help of Helen, not far from the Star Brokerage Company, he rented an office at a very cheap price.

The only bad thing is that the area is slightly narrow, except for a passable office, there is only a very small front desk outside, there is no separate bathroom, and there is no conference room, if you want to go to the bathroom, you can only go to another floor.

I found a housekeeping company, cleaned it briefly, and posted a job advertisement in the newspaper.

First of all, he needs an operator, a very simple position that is mainly responsible for receiving phone calls, mails, letters, etc., or cleaning occasionally.

Next, it is necessary to recruit an assistant and crew coordinator.

This position is much more important than that of an operator.

Not only do you have to help him share some daily things, but you also have a certain amount of crew work experience and can properly handle various emergencies in the crew.

The job advertisement quickly worked, and the next afternoon someone came to apply, a black woman in her forties.

Apparently she was here to apply for an operator.

Oh yes, and a part-time cleaner.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ryan!" she looked a little nervous.

"I'm Ryan Gosling, you can call me Ryan. Ryan nodded.

"Hello Mr. Ryan, my name is Keisha and I'm here to apply for an operator. The black woman named Keisha hurriedly introduced herself and took out a resume at the same time.

Ryan took a few glances at the mediocre resume, and there seemed to be no problem, so he said: "As long as you agree to come over every morning and clean up by the way, then you can come to work tomorrow." ”

"As for the salary standard, it has been clearly written in the job advertisement. ”

He's just hiring an operator, and he doesn't care about anything else, and he doesn't care about skin color.

Of course, the premise is to be willing to work part-time as a cleaner.

"Okay Mr. Ryan, I can totally agree. ”

Keisha suddenly showed a smile, she knew very well that it was difficult to find a suitable job with her background and education, let alone just cleaning by the way.

"Well, here's the key to the office, you can come over tomorrow morning. ”

Ryan took a key out of a drawer and handed it to her, and there was nothing of value in the office anyway.

"By the way, there may be people coming to apply these days, and you need to register. ”

After a brief explanation of the precautions, Ryan told her to go back first and come back tomorrow morning, while he himself continued to interview the next candidate.

At this time, on Santa Monica Street, a very young blonde girl, through the window glass, kept looking at the house numbers on both sides of the road, as if she was looking for something.

"A genius director!"

"Hopefully the same as Helen said. ”

Apparently she was introduced by Helen.

Otherwise, with Ryan's requirements for assistants and the not very good salary, it may not be so easy to recruit a suitable assistant.

In fact, if it weren't for Helen's introduction, and she just wanted to find a job to enrich herself, she wouldn't have come to a newly established studio to apply for a job, and she wouldn't even look at it.

She comes from an acting family, her father is a famous director, her cousin is also a well-known Hollywood actor, and she starred in a film when she was a baby.

It can be said that she has known Hollywood very well since she was a child.

If it weren't for the release of the last film, she was very dissatisfied, and won the Worst Newcomer Award and the Worst Supporting Actress Award at the 11th Golden Raspberry Awards one after another, and I don't know how many media ridiculed her.

She was so angry that she decided not to make any films, maybe she would still be an actress now.

At the end of her career as an actress, she traveled to Paris and soon found a job at Chanel, where she answered the phone exclusively for Karl Lagerfeld, artistic director of Chanel, a very promising position.

Immediately afterwards, under the persuasion of his mother, he entered the California Institute of the Arts to study painting, but the good times did not last long and eventually dropped out, and he has been doing nothing until now.

At the recommendation of my friend Helen, I came to Los Angeles to find a job to kill time.

No matter who you are, when you see such a life resume, you will inevitably feel envious.

Now she just wants to find a job to enrich herself and kill time by the way.

Of course, there is also a trace of curiosity about the genius director that Helen talked about, and she is naturally very clear about what a film with a box office of over 100 million in North America represents, which is by no means a scam in the mouth of the media, it is as simple as that.
