Chapter 664： Chinese circle

As a spoof movie, the cost of "Reaper is gone" is of course not high. Shahai Entertainment only issued a production budget of $6 million. Ronan's first task is to find a suitable director for the project.

Must be a director who is good at comedy genre.

From the first half of the year, the recruitment notice of Shahai Entertainment was posted, and it was not until the beginning of August that the most suitable candidate was available.

Ronan selected a young director in his early thirties named Jason Friedberg from a bunch of candidates.

This director, who has never directed any formal feature film alone, was able to impress Ronan. The most important thing was that he took out a funny experimental short film he directed and shot, which spoofed the Oscars, which was very interesting.

On the other hand, his resume is also an important factor that impressed Ronan.

Jason Friedberg is a rookie director, but not a newcomer. He has extremely rich experience in comedy creation. Since the mid-1990s, he has written "Ultimate Smile" as the first signature screenwriter. Exploring.

Later, he successively wrote the scripts of the trilogy of "Shock and Smile".

As a typical spoof comedy, the success of "Shock and Scream" is well known.

Like all ideal and ambitious screenwriters, Jason Friedberg does not want to stay in the screenwriting industry. Since the first part of "Scream", he has been deeply involved in the creation of the film and has served as the executive. Producer, assistant director and deputy director.

Jason Friedberg is already preparing for his directing career.

However, the trilogy of "Screaming and Screaming" was completed, the series came to an end temporarily, and Jason Friedberg's road to spoof comedy was temporarily suspended.

So, after seeing the "Reaper is gone" project recruiting director, he immediately went to Shahai Entertainment.

At the same time, Shahai Entertainment also finalized the starring of two fat male actors, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill.

After Shahai Entertainment signed a trilogy contract with Jason Friedberg, Jason Friedberg was not satisfied with the original script. Given that Jason Friedberg has a wealth of relevant creative experience, Ronan authorized him to modify and re-create the script.

Jason Friedberg has a successful creative model and is more trustworthy than other screenwriters in the same genre.

After confirming that Jason Friedberg will be the director of "Reaper is Gone", Ronan completely handed over the project to Shahai Entertainment.

Shahai Entertainment has a very mature operation model.

Ronan, in the office on the top floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, greeted Lindsay Bill, who came to visit, and she brought a middle-aged female writer.

"How is "The Devil Wearing Prada" going on?" Ronan seldom participates directly in the specific work of a certain crew, anyway, the final editing rights have always been with him.

Lindsay Bill said: "The screenwriting work over there is basically completed. I am more involved in some production work, and I am also assisting director David Fincher to revise the script."

Ronan nodded and looked at the shooter who succeeded Lindsay Bill. Lindsay Bill has always been responsible for the communication of the three sequels.

"This is Laura Bright." Lindsay Bill worried that Ronan would not remember the shooter: "The ghostwriter you hired personally."

Ronan said, "You sit down here."

Lindsay Bill put the printed manuscript on Ronan's desk and said: "All three works have been completed according to your requirements. This is a manuscript."

Ronan didn't open it and asked, "Linsey, what do you think?"

"Very good." Lindsay Bill glanced at the woman in her thirties. "I think Laura did a great job."

Ronan thought for a while, and said directly: "You contact Random House and choose a suitable time for publication."

Lindsay Bill felt Ronan's rookie again, showing a delicate smile: "No problem."

Laura Bright was speechless in front of Ronan. At this time, she looked at Lindsay Bill, winking frequently at Lindsay Bill.

Lindsay Bill chatted with Ronan about the publication, and said: "Laura wrote a book by herself and wants to try publishing."

Ronan nodded and said, "You recommend Random House."

Lindsay Bill understood Ronan's meaning: "Okay."

As for whether Random House is published or not, it needs the quality.

Laura Bright said quickly, "Thank you Mr. Anderson."

Ronan is very polite to outsiders: "You are welcome."

Lindsay Bill did not stay here much, and soon took Laura Blair away.

Ronan also read the manuscript of Laura Bright's work, no matter the title or the content, he did not have any impression.

Ronan simply flipped through the rest of the representative manuscripts and put them aside. After working with Lindsay Bill for several years, he still trusted her.

When the manuscript is published, "The Hunger Games", "Twilight" and "Fifty Shadows of Gray" will all be collected.

The copyright is already in hand, waiting for the subsequent film adaptation.

Ronan suddenly remembered. It seems that there have been spoofs in these once-hot movies. He forgot about the others, only remembering that there was a movie called "Starving Game".

Thinking of this, Ronan remembered more about spoof movies, such as "This Is Not Sparta", "Fast Transcendence" and so on.

Hollywood spoof movies, like the San Fernando Valley version of popular movies, are also unique genres.

A film producer in the San Fernando Valley has already contacted Shahai Entertainment, wanting to buy the remake rights of "The Bourne" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Hollywood manufacturers have never refused in this regard, and almost all popular movies can find corresponding San Fernando Valley versions.

Shahai Entertainment is also seriously negotiating with San Fernando Valley's film about copyright fees.

In fact, this is also a peripheral income of Hollywood films.

Speaking of it, the scale of related industries in the San Fernando Valley is not smaller than that of Hollywood at all, or even worse.

Although Hollywood’s back door has never been the San Fernando Valley. The actors who enter the San Fernando Valley basically mean that they will no longer have a relationship with Hollywood. However, the two parties have always cooperated. In addition to copyright authorization, Hollywood occasionally looks for actors from the San Fernando Valley. Acting in some cable TV late night dramas and large-scale experimental movies.

For example, Stephen Soderbergh, the famous bald director, used the female artist of San Fernando Valley as the heroine in the experimental film.

In addition, there are more San Fernando Valley actors used in reality TV shows like Playboy.

Also, on the famous Wilshere Street in Beverly Hills, which is the long street where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is located, there are many recruiting offices for actors from the San Fernando Valley Company.

There are too many people with movie dreams. Some people who are new to Los Angeles think they are recruiting regular film actors. After being lured by rhetoric, they embarked on this road of no return.

There are also some actors who have worked hard in Hollywood all year round, knowing where this is, but because of life's pressure, they walked in.

They often have such a mentality: I am shooting this now just for a bite to eat...

After eating this bowl of rice, the bowl sticks to my hands and cannot be taken off.

But there are only a very small number of people who can become artists who have been heard and heard.

Sandsea Entertainment will also launch films such as "Smiths", "Transformers", "Avengers", "Fast and Furious", "Devil Wearing Prada" and so on, all of which can be licensed to San Fernando Valley.

Anyway, this is one of the basic operations around Hollywood, and it will not lower the style of relativistic entertainment.

How can it be said that the art is inferior?

Many Hollywood actresses are dedicated to art, and the actresses of San Fernando Valley are also dedicated to art.

Of course, the location of the two dedication may be different, because the latter is often in front of the camera lens.

On the seventh floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, the "Fast and Furious" crew office, Jessica Felton came here after handling the work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

After "Fast and Furious" ruled out the possibility of cooperating with Van Diesel, it quickly stopped the backup plan and fully prepared another set of plans, although as the producer Jessica Felton also had to take care of "Pirates of the Caribbean" The post-production of the sequel, but the preparation of "Fast and Furious 3" has also accelerated.

Shahai Entertainment is negotiating with Dawn Johnson, who has finished filming "Prison Break", and is striving to sign a longer contract with this powerful actor.

Since Van Diesel’s role will die, his girlfriend naturally does not need to appear in the sequel. The crew did not discuss a film appointment with Michel Rodriguez, but instead planned to replace a more suitable vase actor.

The negotiations between Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster are also progressing at the same time.

Shahai Entertainment is also striving for a long-term contract.

Jessica Felton came here because two directors who have been cooperating with Shahai Entertainment for a long time contacted her through the company to jointly recommend a director.

Walking into the office, Jessica Felton shook hands with two Chinese directors, one tall and one short: "HelloDirector Huang. Hello, Director Wen."

James Huang and James Wen also responded enthusiastically.

They know very well that the Latin woman in front of them seems to be a big-headed type, but in the entire production system of Relativity Entertainment, the power is second only to Ronan Anderson and George Clint.

The "Fast and Furious" project is basically solely responsible for her.

"You two, please sit down." Jessica Felton looked at them and asked, "George called me yesterday and said that the two wanted to recommend a director to the crew?"

James Wynn looked at James Wong, who had a deeper relationship with Shahai Entertainment, and said: "Yes, there is a Chinese director who is very suitable for this project. If possible, can Miss Felton have an interview with him? ?"

Hollywood directors of Chinese origin are also forming a circle. Ang Lee, who tends to be literary and artistic, is not involved. The two of them are currently the core of the circle.
