Chapter 174： Fatal corner

The sun had just risen from the horizon. Ronan left the apartment building where Payaka Chopra was located, drove to Burbank, and arrived at the 13th Street where Shahai Entertainment is located. He first found a restaurant for breakfast.

Exhausted a lot of physical energy last night, when he came out, Payaka Chopra was still asleep.

Perhaps it is due to a relatively older mental age. While eating breakfast, thinking back to Payaka-Chopra’s meticulous service last night, Ronan secretly sighed that the beautiful young girl was really wonderful.

This is the pursuit of life.

Money, power and beauty, who can refuse a normal man?

Especially when a beautiful and **** girl is struggling with all her body skills and wants to please you, the enjoyment is addictive.

Still young and beautiful girls suit him.

Is it because my mental age is older, so I like girls?

There was a saying in the previous life that was very good, the uncle loves Loli.

Ronan hurriedly stopped, not daring to think deeply, thinking too much, it was easy to do things that are not as good as animals.

It seems that the problem is not big for those over 16 years old? He didn't know much about this, so he turned to ask Dinah Ampton's lawyer.

Ronan has specifically read related content such as Hollywood’s industry regulations and entertainment bills, but who has nothing to do to read the law and find out how many girls under the age of a relationship would commit a crime?

After breakfast, Ronan's heart was taken back, and after entering the company, his mind all turned to work.

Shahai Entertainment has expanded its scale several times. It has more than 50 people including the screenwriter team as temporary employees. The original office has long been unable to accommodate. It happened that two small companies next door moved out and the other closed down. Ronan asked him It was rented directly, and the smaller one was dedicated to the creation of the temporary screenwriting team, and the other was handed over to the most important production department.

In the first large office, there were only less than ten people left. Outside Ronan’s office, a separate cubicle was added, and two workstations were placed in it. Assistant Connie and her deputy worked here. It is also convenient for Ronan to arrange work at any time.

This can only be done temporarily.

Ronan also wants to own an entire building owned by his own company as an office building like Walt Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox. But at this stage, he can only think about it. Funds are pressured on this kind of fixed assets, and only when the funds are circulated can they get more income.

An independent office building can only be used as a future plan.

Ronan entered the office, and Connie immediately brought a cup of hot tea.

"You help me contact the real estate agent." Ronan said: "Let them contact me on weekends."

Connie wrote it down immediately and asked: "What type of real estate agency?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "As an agent of private villas, the listings are best in a quieter neighborhood."

"I understand." Connie left.

During the recent period, the Nasdaq has experienced a slight shock, but the overall trend is still rising, but the situation is obvious, and stock market crashes may occur at any time.

Although Ronan didn't know the time of the crash, let alone the specific process, it was not difficult to find problems in the stock market if his head could analyze a little.

It is estimated that some people have already started to get away.

But more people are still enthusiastic.

Again, the huge benefits blinded people's eyes, making many people think that even if there is a problem, the Nasdaq can hold on for a long time, and someone must come to take over.

After visiting the Scott’s villa, Ronan has always wanted to change to a quieter independent villa, so that privacy is guaranteed and it will be more convenient to do something secret in the future.

Now take time to look at the houses. After the stock market crashes, there may be people who want to sell real estate as soon as possible to raise funds.

I don't know how many people in the United States want to jump off the building.

Popular suicide locations, such as the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, might rain dumplings.

There was a knock on the door, Ronan said please come in, and Lindsay Bill walked in.

Ronan pointed to the opposite chair: "Please sit down."

Lindsay Bill pulled back her chair and sat down, and said, "I have finished the first draft of "Twilight", and the rest has been sent to your mailbox. Please take time to have a look."

"Very good." Ronan didn't mean to praise: "Linsai, you did very well, faster than I expected."

He opened the mailbox, glanced roughly at the newly received mail, and nodded in satisfaction: "I will take time to read it. You will rest for a few days. Keep your phone open, and I will contact you at any time."

Lindsay Bill said, "Okay."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "You contact Mary and settle the bonus with her."

Ronan is never stingy when it comes to giving encouragement to money.

The smile instantly reached Lindsay Bill's beautiful face: "Thank you."

Ronan smiled: "This is what you deserve."

Lindsay Bill left Ronan's office contentedly, with a weekly salary of $1,000, plus a $10,000 bonus for the completion of the book. If you count it seriously, her income during this period is higher than the annual income of most screenwriters in the industry.

If it can be published later, there will be a publishing bonus...

It seems that the student loan can be repaid in one go.

After a few days of rest, I quickly finished writing the rest of The Hunger Games and Fifty Shadows of Gray.

Through observations during this period of time, Lindsay Bill determined that Ronan is a very credible person, and none of the promised conditions failed. After writing these two books, will he be able to return to his original line of screenwriting?

Film screenwriters are her pursuit in Hollywood, even if screenwriting is more restricted than writing.

If a family encounters a picky editor making things difficult, they can ignore it, and the work can still be published, but no screenwriter in Hollywood has the final say.

For example, in a discussion meeting, the story created by the screenwriter’s painstaking effort will always be easily defeated by the producer in a few words: "Which guy chased the woman in the end?" "Where is the action?" "What about the laugh?" Who is the villain behind the scenes?"...

So an irritated screenwriter couldn't bear it, and then walked out of the conference room without looking back, and never got a foothold in Hollywood.

But most screenwriters will obediently go back and make changes until they are satisfied with their boss.

Lindsay Bill knows very well that now he can write it out with a simple outline, and similar screenwriting work should be competent.

The script of a Hollywood movie is just a streamlined operation. Originality is not the primary problem. The producer’s general requirement is that it can be used directly for shooting, the dialogue should be smart, the story told clearly and coherently, entertaining, and enough.

There are usually no less than ten screenwriters involved in a film, but in the end only two can sign their names in the screenwriter column.

As for writing the script alone, Lindsay Bill has not considered it for the time being.

In Hollywood, it takes at least seventy to eighty movies to have one, from the story outline to the filming set by a screenwriter.

In the office, Ronan only looked at the beginning and the end of the manuscript, and the other parts could only be read later.

Just over three months, Lindsay Bill completed the first draft, and Ronan was very satisfied with this speed.

The first draft is not long, with only 26 chapters. If you change the amount of codewords in the previous life network, Lindsay Bill can be included in the ranks of the remnant party.

But for physical book publishing, this speed is quite good.

After the review is completed, Ronan will contact the publishing house and use the name of Shahai Entertainment to throw out the gimmick of preparing to adapt the film. It is not difficult for publishing to enter the book market.

Ronan then went to the office where the screenwriter was located, and took a brief look. The screenwriters were working together at the desk.

Two days ago, the screenwriter team had just completed the first draft of a script. Ronan had already given Dina Ampton lawyers to register the copyright at the Copyright Office.

As for the screenwriters' union, there is no need at all.

The celebrity of the script bureau is Ronan, but Ronan did not join the screenwriters union, and temporarily did not meet the conditions for joining the screenwriters union. Non-union members can also file scripts in the screenwriters union, but the procedures are quite cumbersome.

The most important point is that the record of the screenwriters union only has an industry effect and has no legal effect.

In other words, a screenwriter’s work is only filed with the screenwriter’s union, and if it is not registered with the Copyright Office, once it has been infringed, the screenwriter’s filing cannot be used as evidence if it is subject to the law.

Unions are indeed very strong, but compared to several other major union organizations in Hollywood, screenwriters and screenwriters unions are a bit harder.

Simply expecting to be a screenwriter is very difficult in Hollywood. After many gold medal screenwriters have become famous, they have switched to producers or directors.

This situation is not only in Hollywood, but in the entertainment industry around the world.

The script Ronan asked Dinah Ampton to file for the record was called "Fatal Bend." In his previous life, he also made a series of horror films. In the home entertainment market outside the theater, the income has been good.

This series is not as successful as a theater movie but it is a winner in the offline rental market.

Ronan had previously inquired in various parties at the Copyright Bureau, and this was one of the series that confirmed that there was no copyright registered.

In addition, Ronan also formulated a copyright plan to wait for Robert Lee to return to North America, with him as the core, organize a small team, and then assisted by professionals like Dina Ampton to negotiate some goals copyright.

In the past life, the truly super hot Hollywood movies, original works can be described as rare, and 99% of them are sequels or adaptations.

Relativity's entertainment strength is temporarily limited, it is impossible to invest on a large scale, and if you want to fully extract the value of popular movies, you can't do it simply by shooting it. It requires careful commercial operation and large-scale investment, which also determines that it is impossible. Get together, otherwise it is purely a waste of resources.

Planned launches are the best choice.

At this stage, low-cost movies with small investment and stable output are the first choice.
