Chapter 667： Like it very much

In the office, Ronan read the script very seriously, looked up at Jessica Felton, and asked curiously: "Where did you find this?"

"I attended a women's rights protection gathering in the circle. This is the work of a female screenwriter at the gathering." Jessica Felton recounted what happened yesterday.

The script is here, Ronan is not in a hurry, but is interested in this feminist organization, and asks: "Are there any gains at the party?"

Jessica Felton shrugged, her chest trembling constantly: "Alright, I didn't notice much before. I participated in two parties and found that the women in the circle are indeed in a bad situation."

Ronan said directly: "Because you eat by your ability, you are a true feminist, so you can't feel it."

"Perhaps." Jessica Felton faced Ronan, and there was nothing to say: "I always feel that some people are doing feminism for the aura of feminism."

Ronan nodded slightly: "It's normal. With the current social situation, it is estimated that it will not be long before feminist fighters will become a very useful halo for female stars."

Jessica Felton smiled: "I'm behind the scenes, I don't need these."

Ronan thinks so too. The producers who are in power behind the scenes don't need these personalities at all.

As for the stars in front of the scene, they will all become feminist spokespersons before long.

Some are even crazy.

For example, the Queen Padmé Amidala once screamed for feminism: drinking milk and eggs is depriving female resources!

This can be said to have gone to one extreme, and another extreme will naturally arise.

Once Karl Lagerfeld faced the aggressive "Mi Rabbit" and said in shock: "If you really don't want to be pulled by Neku, then don't be a model! Join the monastery, there will always be your seat."

In fact, it can be foreseen from many aspects. If some things are not controlled within a reasonable range, but expanded without restriction, how violent the current momentum is, how strong the future rebound will be.

Jessica Felton said at this time: "Probably I won't participate anymore."

"Why?" Ronan knew that although Jessica Felton was not that kind of radical feminist, she was also more concerned about women's rights, otherwise she would not go to such gatherings.

Having said that, if the situation of men and women in Hollywood reverses, he himself may also participate in similar activities.

Jessica Felton put her arms around her chest, her supple face and skin showed a somewhat helpless look: "Because I found out, it won't be long before I will stand against them."

Ronan laughed and deliberately joked: "This is the disadvantage of gaining power by strength. Jessie, you are no longer gregarious."

Frankly speaking, waiting for the success of the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Fast and Furious" and other films, Jessica Felton's fame and power will inevitably rise. This is an inevitable result of Hollywood's operating system.

Jessica Felton then mingled with a group of actors, directors, and screenwriters to discuss increasing the income of the labor force. It was like a wolf in sheep's clothing and mixed into the flock of conspiracy.

After talking about feminism, the topic turned back to the script. Jessica Felton asked: "Ronan, how about this script?"

Ronan didn't answer directly, and asked, "Jesse, you solemnly recommend it to me. Obviously, you are very optimistic about this script?"

Jessica Felton thought for a while, and said, "This is the first screenplay completed by Diablo Coty independently. I have contacted this female screenwriter twice. She is a very thoughtful woman. I have made a simple investigation. Diablo Coty has been a blogger, a stripper, and a magazine agency. He came to Hollywood a few years ago and started working as a screenwriter."

Ronan looked at the white script cover with interest. There was no name on it, only the screenwriter Diablo-Cotti's name.

To be honest, screenwriters born as strippers are very rare in Hollywood.

Jessica Felton said again: "You know what, after I read the script this morning, the story in it has been entrenched in my brain, lingering, I like it very much. If it is an exaggeration I’m going to use a metaphorical approach, what I want to say is that almost when I read the twelfth page of the script, I decided to take it down."

Ronan nodded lightly and echoed: "I have the same impression. When I read the fourth page, I decided to include it in the future production plan of Shahai Entertainment."

On the first page, I saw that the heroine's name was "Juneo", and when I arrived on the fourth page, I was sure that this was the "Juneo" in my memory.

Jessica Felton is obviously very fond of the script: "Some people say that when meeting a stranger, the first impression is very important, and the script is also true for me. I know that this film will definitely contain something special. Things are inside. As the pages turn, it will make people feel more and more amazing, and I will become more and more aware that it is completely different from the commercial type of "Pirates of the Caribbean" we are shooting and producing. Different, but with unique charm, may attract a large number of specific audiences."

Her subsequent words are more convincing: "Diablo Coty is a newcomer screenwriter. This is her first real script. I tried her. We can buy out the copyright for the script at most about $20,000."

Ronan smiled and said, "Buy it."

Inflation is inflating and the price of scripts is also rising. Think about it a few years ago when a new screenwriter from a non-screenwriters union could buy a first work for a few thousand dollars. Now, don't think about it without 10,000 dollars.

Screenwriters are also working hard to improve their treatment and status.

Jessica Felton continued: "It is difficult to tell whether a good movie can be made based on the script alone, but the script is cheap and worth the risk."

Ronan patted the script lightly and said: "A good script, a good director, a good actor, plus an excellent filming and production team, everything can develop in a good direction."

Jessica Felton said directly: "I notified the people in the legal department of Shahai Entertainment to negotiate directly with Diablo Coti."

Ronan said, "Yes, let go and do it."

Jessica Felton came to the desk, and as a result Ronan handed over the script, preparing to leave the office.

Ronan reminded: "The script is not named. Tell the female screenwriter to name it directly after the heroine."

Jessica Felton has no objection: "She will agree."

At Ronan's reminder, this project will still be called "Juneo".

Many Hollywood movies are actually named directly after the protagonist, which is simple and direct.

For example, the film that made Julia Roberts get the Oscar for Best Actress, the title is the heroine's name-"Irene Brokwich".

However, the Chinese translation of the title "Never Compromise" can undoubtedly highlight the theme of the film and even enhance the style.

There is also the only super irritable John Wick in the universe that can fight Thanos. The Chinese name card is "Quick Chase" and the English name is "John Wick".

These are all typical examples of Chinese translations that can stimulate the audience's desire to watch movies.

As for "Juneo", it seems that it was also called "Juneo".

The subject matter of this film is actually very sensitive. Compared to the call girl or the like, the social environment has been looser in the past two years. If it were put four or five years ago, it would be impossible for such a film Will cause huge public opinion troubles.

This kind of subject matter was too closely related to the social environment at that time.

Ronan will let Shahai Entertainment buy the script, but to be on the safe side, the film will not start until at least one year later.

This will be a low-cost movie. If the cost is controlled, the production budget is about $5 million.

Ronan once watched this film, but due to the type of relationship, his memory is not deep. Even now, in retrospect, except for the heroine with the same title and the girl's pregnancy, the other contents of the film are basically forgotten.

No way, the relationship between personal preferences, like the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and most of the contents of "Transformers", he was deeply impressed.

On the contrary, it is an artistic film, and the specific content is basically forgotten after seeing it.

Regarding "Juneo", Ronan remembered again that the heroine should be the very distinctive Ellen Page.

The actress once impressed him.

Of course not because of the movie "Juneo."

The initial impression came from "X-Men", which appeared to be the Phantom Cat; One of Christopher Nolan's masterpieces "Inception" also has Alan Page.

But the one that really made Ronan remember Alan Page was "Fruit Hard Candies."

Presumably, the male compatriots who have watched this film will be more deeply impressed.

Ronan also wrote down "Fruit Hard Candy" by the way, which made people pay attention to the film of the girl revenge on the old man.

For independent films with such small investments, you must find a suitable distributor, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t find it. After all, this type of film is a niche among the niche.

It is estimated that many male audiences don't like it very much.

The script of "Juneo" also needs to be adjusted to be more interesting, smaller in scale, and more American.

The profound social and practical significance of this kind of film is basically useless to the market, and it is interesting to attract the audience.

Themes like "Juneo" limit the market to be mainly in the United States, and content such as teenage pregnancy abortion is not a big deal in many countries and regions.

Cultural differences will inevitably bring about the impact of viewing movies.

As for whether "Juneo" reflects social reality, it is not important to Hollywood movies.

Jessica Felton’s work efficiency has always been very high. On the day she met Ronan, she communicated and coordinated with the legal and copyright departments of Shahai Entertainment. The next day, she officially started to cooperate with Diablo Coty and his agent. Human negotiation.

For today's Shahai Entertainment, this is just a small copyright purchase case.

In just two days, the two parties reached an agreement that Shahai Entertainment bought out all the copyrights of Juno at a price of US$18,000.
