Chapter 419： keep in good touch

Only after experiencing the blow of disappointment do you know the value of hope.

Wen Ziren and Ray Warner are undoubtedly typical in this regard. As long as the project is passed, the director position they require can be guaranteed, and everything else is easy to say.

In Hollywood, newcomers without qualifications and backgrounds do not actually have the capital to set conditions.

"You need to continue to modify the script." Ronan warned: "You also need to develop a more specific project plan. Now is just the beginning of this project."

Wen Ziren promised: "We will do our best."

Ronan added: "You leave the contact information to Connie. As far as my assistant is concerned, I will let Shahai Entertainment contact you to discuss the specific details of cooperation."

"Okay." Wen Ziren's face was full of smiles: "We are fine."

"Let's stop here today." Ronan left his business card to the two of them: "If you have any difficulties, just call me or contact Connie."

After the two people left their contact information, Ronan sent them out of the company.

Back at the office, Ronan immediately used the script as the basis and made the initial project package as quickly as possible. He called Connie and said: "Transfer this project to Shahai Entertainment, inform George Clint, and let him Wen Ziren negotiates with Ray Warner. I don't care about the latter. The former must sign a long-term cooperation agreement as much as possible."

Connie said, "I will do it now."

Ronan leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Ziren, who hadn't been found in the past two years, finally got on the big ship of relativity entertainment.

How many movies were made in the previous life of "Chain Saw"? It seems like seven or eight? Because similar to "Reaper is coming", Ronan has not watched the next sequel since the fifth, but it can be filmed by Lionsgate Films one by one. This series will undoubtedly bring stable income. .

Like this kind of film, because the content is too cruel, the theater box office may not be very high, but the DVD rental and sales are certainly not bad.

There are too many similar b-level films that rely on the offline market for profit.

Of course, Wen Ziren’s value is not limited to "Chain Saw". After his previous life "Chain Saw", he seemed to mess up two large horror films, and then returned to similar b-level movies. "Latent" turned over, and later confirmed the horror universe centered on "Call of Souls" and became Hollywood's premier horror film director.

And as a typical horror film director, Wen Ziren is also one of the few people who have successfully transformed into a mainstream commercial production. The road film "Sea King" directed by many people is also regarded as the turn of a superhero movie by many people. Made.

Ronan is very clear about the commercial value of Wen Ziren.

The "Chain Saw Fright" series can really establish the sign of "Wen Ziren", and has considerable popularity and box office appeal among the majority of movie fans.

The production company is also willing to cooperate with such directors: good craftsmanship, talent, and can save themselves money.

After dealing with Wen Ziren's affairs, Ronan watched the situation of "Hero" again. Yesterday's pull conference was also a trial screening, and the media's reputation was good.

"I don't understand Chinese, but through color, I understand "Hero"."

"At first glance, the beauty of the form of the picture is blown away..."

The media almost praised the color and expressionism of the film.

But that's the case. Even if Embassy Pictures invests some resources, the media can't pay attention to "Hero" like "The Pianist".

This is Hollywood, a film about the Jews of World War II, a magical masterpiece from the East, and the difference in treatment can be imagined.

What's more, Miramax's "Chicago", under the operation of Harvey Weinstein, is also trying his best to earn eyeballs.

Ronan also saw through the news that Harvey Weinstein used the means to compete for the Oscar, not only promoting himself, but also fighting against competitors.

Everyone in the industry can see that the most competitive film of this Oscar is undoubtedly "The Pianist" directed by Roman Polanski.

From the beginning of December, the Polanski health case, which has already become a cold meal for n years, appeared in the media again. Various news against Polanski was also circulating in Hollywood circles, and some reporters even went to Hawaii. , To interview the victims of that year.

Why is a scandal that has been gradually forgotten brought back into view? Of course it is due to interests.

In this Oscar game, behind the glamour of the surface, there are still various confrontations hidden.

Where there is fame and fortune, there is never a shortage of competition.

There was a knock on the door, and Connie pushed in and said, "Miss Horne is here."

"Let her come over." Ronan then said: "Don't close the office door for a while. In this way, you stay in the office too."

Connie went to invite Curty Horn in, and stayed in the office according to Ronan's orders. Although her boss often changed her partner, she was very particular about some things and did not easily give people targeted excuses.

"Hi, Curty." Ronan pointed to the sofa. "Sit down."

Unlike wearing the evening dress last night, Curty Horn’s long brown hair is simply tied into a ponytail behind her head. She wears a white jacket on her upper body and slim jeans on her lower body. It is probably a tall relationship with two legs set off by jeans. Extraordinarily long.

Remove her makeup, she doesn't look particularly beautiful, more like a girl next door full of youth.

Keti Horne took off her slanting bag, sat on the sofa, looked around, and said, "I can't imagine that the office of a Hollywood billionaire is so simple."

Ronan didn't answer her words, but asked, "Did you come here by yourself?"

Keti Horner took out a notebook and said, "The driver brought me here."

Although her family conditions are not at the level of billionaires, they are not generally good.

Ronan smiled and said, "I thought you were not coming."

"We said it, why wouldn't we not come?" Keti Horn said deliberately, "How can a sensible girl like me lie to uncle?"

Ronan's words behind him were abruptly suffocated, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, too lazy to care about the title issue, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Keti Horn handed the book in his hand to Ronan: "This is the script I wrote. Please help me to read it. Give me more suggestions, but don't hit me."

Ronan nodded, did not speak, and read the script seriously.

Probably due to age constraints, the script written by Curty Horn uses the simplest format, which is just a pure script.

But Kety Horne obviously had professional learning in this area, and the writing was very smooth, which is quite rare among her peers.

Keti Horn was a little anxious, and couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think?"

Ronan said, "Be patient, you always want me to get an idea, right?"

He scanned the script quickly. Although the script was fluent, it was not standardized in many places. Fortunately, it made people understand the story.

Ronan was a little surprised that this turned out to be a love story...

It tells a hot girl fell in love with a hesitant boy, and tells the beauty of first love.

At the beginning, Ronan thought that this might have been adapted by Keti Horne based on his own experience. After all, in a place like Los Angeles, a 16 or 17-year-old girl had already experienced several romances, and it was not uncommon.

But no one can expect how well a girl of sixteen or seventeen can write the script.

Frankly speaking, this is more like a mood diary.

Ronan asked directly: "Is this based on your experience?"

"No." Kety Horn shook his head hurriedly: "How could I have experienced so many bad things? This is based on the actual experience of the school cheerleader and several other girls."

She looked at Ronan eagerly: "Is what I wrote OK?"

Ronan did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Did your father read it?"

"Dad has seen it." Kety Horne was disappointed: "As I said yesterday, Warner Bros. doesn't lack scripts, so..."

Seeing the full expectation of the girls, Ronan decided to use a tactful way and said: "Of all the scripts I have read, this one is the best written at your age."

Keti Horne was delighted at first: "You still have vision." But then she remembered, and asked: "Uncle Anderson...No, Ronan, you've seen a few scripts written by someone my age. ?"

Ronan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Curty Horn has guessed the answer: "You only saw me right?" She sighed, "Hey, it seems I still have to work harder."

Ronan said, "Kody, you are talented in this area, so keep trying."

"Yeah." Keti Horne knew Hollywood better, and didn't have much hope, so he adjusted quickly and said: "My knowledge and experience are still not enough."

This is undoubtedly a very clear-headed girl. Ronan nodded and said, "I have experienced a lot, and some things will come naturally."

He suddenly thought of another thing and asked: "Aren't you also interested in acting?"

Keti Horn immediately asked: "Do you have a role suitable for me? I haven't had a movie addiction for a long time."

Ronan asked specifically: "Did you not find a role in the Warner Bros. movie?"

"No. I don't want to play the role of Warner Bros." Coty Horn explained: "With my ability, it is absolutely impossible to play an important female role. Dad will not take this risk. But as a background board. It’s meaningless at all. The secondary point of the female character, if you have the right, you can’t try it, but Dad sits in this position, once the film fails, the news about me will be a lot of trouble. Sofia Coppola is a lesson from the past."

Ronan said: "Korty, you are the most mature thinking girl I have ever seen." He said directly: "I have a project here, about a group of high school students, and it needs a lot of young actresses."

He found out the script of "Mean Girl" and handed it to Keti Horn: "Look at it, and contact me if you are interested."

Shahai Entertainment and Warner Bros. are currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, which is also a means to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.
