What happened at the exhibition was just a small episode for Ryan, who spent the next few days filming Saw 2.

Eight days passed, the filming of the crew ended, and Twentieth Century Fox held a grand banquet.

However, Ryan did not participate, but followed the editor found by Twentieth Century Fox and plunged into the editing room.

Three days have passed, and there is no news from Ryan, Monica Bellucci can only come to the editing room in person, and as soon as she pushes the door open, a strange smell suddenly comes out, accompanied by sour odors, food, cigarettes, etc., mixed together, and the taste is terrifying and scary.

Monica Bellucci almost couldn't help but slam the door shut and away from these horrible smells.

However, thinking that she came to the destination today, she finally chose to walk in hard, but the door was not closed, and the smell should be released.

The editing room is somewhat messy, there are leftover pizzas, hamburgers and other food on the table, and there are dense cigarette butts on the ground, which smells weird.

After looking around, she finally found Ryan's figure, his hair was messy, as if he hadn't been groomed for a few days, and the clothes on his body were in a mess, faintly emitting a sour smell, as if he was a bit like a homeless man.

"Shh

Tap. ”

Ryan saw Monica Bellucci walking over, made a boo gesture, stood up, and said, "Go out and say, Jack is still resting." ”

Monica Bellucci nodded, quickly rushed out of the editing room, went outside, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said, "The smell just now almost didn't make me faint." ”

"Can't you just take the time to clean up?"

Ryan spread his hands helplessly and said, "No way, Twentieth Century Fox has been urging again, and we don't even have time to rest, let alone cleaning." ”

"It's you, why are you suddenly free today!"

In just three days, the two of them edited out more than two hours of footage, and the plot line of the film is already very clear.

Monica Bellucci looked at Ryan's haggard look and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn Twentieth Century Fox, it's just a bunch of vampires. ”

"I'm here to say goodbye to you today, and I'm going to shoot in England tomorrow. ”

United Kingdom!

Ryan then reacted that she was going to the UK to shoot "Leaving Las Vegas", and couldn't help but say: "Be careful, the way of shooting that side is very different from Hollywood, it pays more attention to artistry, and sometimes a shot will take a long time." ”

"If you get stuck, you can contact the film's producer, Jill Anne Hurd, and I've already said hello to her. ”

"Thank you. Monica Bellucci pointed to Ryan's clothes and said, "In return, I can listen to you tonight." ”

"But only if you take a hot shower and change into clean clothes. ”

Ryan touched the clothes on his body, which did emit a bad smell, and said, "You said it yourself." ”

As the two drove out of the editing room to a rented apartment owned by Monica Bellucci, Ryan walked to the bathroom and took off his clothes, intending to wash them well.

While Ryan was taking a shower, Monica Bellucci drove to the supermarket and bought some wine, steaks, and prepared to cook a hearty lunch.

Maybe her cooking skills are not very good, but she is very attentive.

When Ryan came out of the bathroom, there was already neat food on the table, and even the red wine had been put in the decanter, waiting for him to come out and enjoy it together.

"How's my outfit today!" asked Monica Bellucci, sitting on top of her chair, with her long legs crossed and in a seductive pose.

She changed into a black transparent silk pajamas, her hot figure loomed, and one slender thigh was placed on top of the other long leg, showing her figure thoroughly.

is worthy of being a model, and the figure really has nothing to say.

Ryan exclaimed, "It's perfect." ”

What happened next naturally does not need to be described in words.

In mid-November, when the editing of "Saw 2" ended, Ryan officially began to prepare for the next film.

This film is different from "Blair the Witch" or "Saw Horror", not only has the investment increased a lot, but also the plot is different from the previous two films.

So Ryan agreed to introduce investment, after all, the investment in the film is not a small amount, at least thirty or forty million US dollars, he doesn't want to take such a big risk alone, and introducing investment is obviously a very wise choice.

At the moment, Twentieth Century Fox is a very good choice.

As for Fox Searchlight Pictures, I am afraid that for a long time, it will not come up with tens of millions of dollars for investment.

After a few days of contact, Helen finally came with the good news that Twentieth Century Fox had agreed to negotiate the next film.

Ryan's next film, the famous "Truman's World" in his previous life, has a budget of tens of millions of dollars, and even if it is changed to now, it will cost tens of millions of dollars.

In the negotiation with Twentieth Century Fox, Ryan did not come forward, but handed it all over to Helen, sometimes the agent can tear his face with the other party because of a little interest, but the director cannot do this.

In the face of the top management of Twentieth Century Fox, Helen has no pressure at all, anyway, the film company that has extended an olive branch to Ryan is far more than Twentieth Century Fox, and she knows Ryan's character very well, even if she does not have any investment, she will not hesitate to shoot.

Introducing investment is just to share some risks, and with the investment of the seven major Hollywood studios, many things can be avoided.

"My terms are very simple, Twentieth Century Fox can only take half of the investment in the film, and the rest of the investment will be funded by Ryan Studios, and enjoy the same percentage of revenue sharing, including various rights, merchandise, and so on. ”

"Mr. Ryan himself, in addition to the director, screenwriter position, must also serve as an executive producer, of course, he can charge a small fee for the executive producer. ”

Serving as an executive producer is not to want more rights, but to ensure his status in the crew.

"The director and editor are paid a total of $3 million, and all other details are in accordance with Hollywood rules. ”

At the same time, you must have the right to make the final choice of the actor and the right to edit the film. ”

That is to say, during the filming of the crew, all expenses related to Ryan, including assistants, secretaries and other personnel expenses, are paid by the crew.

This is the rule of Hollywood, almost all of them, including the director and the main actors of the film.

Helen's conditions, although not a lion's mouth, are also very harsh.

Hollywood's seven major studios, like Twentieth Century Fox, rarely share the same percentage of revenue share, even if it comes from Hollywood.

Generally speaking, funds from overseas can only get a share of the box office of the film, and it is also difficult for funds from North American banks or Wall Street to obtain a share of copyright and peripheral products.

Only funds from Hollywood can get a share of the copyright and peripheral products.

Remember that it's only a part, not an equal percentage of the revenue share.

However, Ryan's remuneration for directing and editing, Twentieth Century Fox does not have too many objections.

At present, the faces of the top management of Twentieth Century Fox are very solemn, even if it is only the first negotiation, they can still feel the difficulty of this beautiful female agent in front of them.

"I'm sorry Miss Helen, but we can't accept such a demanding cooperation, your studio has a maximum of one-tenth of the investment in the film, and the same share needs to be negotiated separately. ”

"There are also films with a budget of up to $35 million, which is too high, and the budget must be reduced, preferably within $10 million. ”

Faced with such conditions, Helen naturally couldn't agree, with only one-tenth of the film's investment ratio and a budget of $10 million, why bother to negotiate with Twentieth Century Fox, and even didn't need to introduce investment.

I believe that many banks or investment companies will generously give up $10 million to invest in Ryan's next film, or simply continue to invest in the name of Ryan's studio.

As soon as the negotiations began, they broke up unhappily.
