Chapter 871： Ambition and operation

In this magical land of the United States, apart from popular shootings, the influence of hurricanes cannot be underestimated. Things like tornadoes are commonplace.

The subject of storms is also a relatively common type in Hollywood, and has a wider audience in North America.

Like "Tornado" directed by Jane de Bont, it has also entered the top three of the annual box office charts in North America.

Therefore, the "Super Storm" script recommended by Martin Scorsese has somewhat aroused Ronan's interest, and also made people find the full version of the script for the first time.

To some extent, this is a bit like another "The Day After Day".

The success of Roland Emmerich's disaster film is not only due to special effects, but also more in line with the needs of the current society.

For governments around the world, the climate issue is an increasingly serious and urgent issue.

For centuries, mankind has been eager to understand, master and ultimately control the earth's climate change.

The screenwriter of "Superstorm" is also a smart man.

The script tells that in the near future, global warming frequently causes more terrible hurricanes. When a super hurricane is about to hit the east coast of the United States, the "Storm Shield" team where the hero is located plans to use the technology they have mastered to change the course and intensity of the hurricane and avoid the tragedy caused by Katrina from happening again.

The screenwriter connected the plot to Hurricane Katrina.

This summer, Hurricane Katrina attracted worldwide attention. Its catastrophic consequences were unbearable even for the United States, with direct economic losses of more than US$200 billion.

Movies and social reality are often closely linked, and Hollywood screenwriters have a keen sense of smell.

"Based on what we have learned."

In the office, Connie reported the latest information to Ronan: "The script writer Julian Simpson came up with the idea of ​​creating a hurricane script after Hurricane Katrina, and it took less than a month. Completed related creation."

Ronan asked, "Julian Simpson? This name is very strange."

Connie glanced at the notebook in her hand and said: "This is a 34-year-old female screenwriter and director. She entered the film and television industry in 1997 and directed a British film "Modern Women's Prison". After the new century, she came to Hollywood and worked in As a screenwriter, he has served as a screenwriter in a number of TV drama crews."

She understood Ronan's purpose for the information, and emphasized: "Julian Simpson knows the situation in Hollywood very well."

Ronan nodded: "Not a newcomer, new work."

Connie asked: "This work..."

Ronan glanced at the script on the desk and said, "How do you say? This type of film must be very clichéd. If you want to make a good shot, you must have a lot of investment in special effects, but if the investment is too high , The risk will increase."

Frankly speaking, Ronan was also hesitant.

Connie didn't say much, waiting quietly for Ronan to make a decision.

Ronan pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's let someone get in touch with Julian Simpson. If the script price is not too outrageous, you can buy it to enrich the script library."

The price of the script itself is not high. After buying it, even if you don't shoot it temporarily, you can wait for it later.

Connie responded, left the office, and sent a coordinator to Shahai Entertainment.

As a woman, Julian Simpson came to Hollywood for a few years, not very good, not very bad, and generally speaking, it is a small achievement.

After the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, she saw the report on TV. Although she had not taken the disaster on the spot, she brought an idea from it. Then, with the support of a large amount of hurricane information, the inspiration exploded, less than a month. In time, a disaster film script was completed.

This is the work that Julian Simpson is most satisfied with in the six years of working in the industry, and even got rid of the relationship of a co-producer, and sent the script to the great director Martin Scorsese.

Although Martin Scorsese did not take a fancy to her script and the price paid seemed to be useless, but it turned out that all of this was not in vain.

Julian Simpson received a call from Shahai Entertainment, who wanted to discuss with her about the script of "Super Storm".

The script was not created for a long time. In addition, she has worked in Hollywood for many years and she is an active woman. Julian Simpson was invited by Shahai Entertainment. His first thought was not about the possibility of filming the script, but how to maximize profits. .

"The script alone is not of much value." Julian Simpson is quite clear-headed, and he does not think that a mature company like Shahai Entertainment will be shocked by seeing its own script, and then produce a lot of brain damage. The general condition: "As a screenwriter, or a female screenwriter, there is actually not much future."

Her agent said: "Julian, Shahai Entertainment is a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment. If you can get Ronan Anderson's appreciation..."

Julian Simpson looked at the agent: "Putting my future on the appreciation of others is too unreliable, right?"

The agent knew that Julian Simpson had always been very ambitious, and was not surprised.

"What do you want to do?" The agent first asked, and then reminded: "That's Shahai Entertainment, Ronan Anderson's company. It's not something we can provoke. Don't do stupid things!"

Julian Simpson rolled his eyes and said, "Am I the kind of woman who has no brains? Why do you want to offend a character like Ronan Anderson? I just want to fight for the benefits as much as possible. Is it difficult for me to create The script is only sold to Shahai Entertainment at a low price of 20,000 US dollars?"

The broker frustrated his hands: "This is the market situation in the industry."

"So, the script is worthless, even my screenwriter is sad." Julian Simpson obviously had his own ideas, and said to the agent: "You reply to Shahai Entertainment, saying that I agree to discuss "Super Storm" with them. But see you in a few days."

The broker immediately responded: "There is no problem."

Julian Simpson continued: "I want to write a preliminary production and shooting plan to package "Super Storm" from a simple script into a movie project."

"This..." The agent was quite surprised.

"This is normal. How much can the script be sold? How about changing to a project? The project bonus alone is at least ten times that of the script." Julian Simpson said: "Don't forget, I was a director and directed when I was in the UK. I've had a movie. After I came to Hollywood, in addition to being a screenwriter in a TV series, I also served as an executive producer."

The agent nodded slowly: "That's right, these qualifications can increase your persuasive power."

Julian Simpson continued: "If I can borrow the cooperation of Shahai Entertainment and successfully film and produce "Super Storm", my career will really start. I will no longer be a screenwriter with a long-term future, but a director and director with an infinite future. Producer."

The agent also looked serious: "This is indeed an opportunity." He said cautiously: "But there is also a possibility that Shahai Entertainment will not cooperate with us."

Julian Simpson has a clear mind: "Indeed, Shahai Entertainment just sent us an invitation to negotiate, and we may collapse. But with so many film companies in Hollywood, we don't have to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment."

The agent hesitated: "The successful effect and great reputation of Shahai Entertainment..."

"So, we have to take advantage of these." Julian Simpson said: "The invitation of Shahai Entertainment can also become our capital. Even if it fails, we can still contact other companies and even increase our own capital."

She urged: "You find a way to spread the news to the outside world. Start doing it today. Before we formally talk with Shahai Entertainment, try to let relevant news spread out in the circle. Shahai Entertainment wants to cooperate with us in "Super Storm". This movie project."

The broker thought about it for a while, and the maneuverability is extremely strong, and the effect should be good.

Compared to simply selling the script, the benefits of doing so may increase tenfold or even twentyfold.

As a gentleman of 10%, doubling the income is enough to take huge risks, let alone increase so much.

After the agent left, he immediately called and went to some public places to spread the news in person.

The next day, Julian Simpson invited friends and colleagues in the circle to gather. She came to Hollywood for a few years. She worked in several crews and worked in several crews. With the intention to meet and socialize, her network of contacts could only reach Hollywood. Low- and middle-level, but it can be considered relatively extensive.

The banquet was very enjoyable, and Julian Simpson seemed to unintentionally revealed that her "Super Storm" movie project was appreciated by Shahai Entertainment, and the two sides will discuss the project in a few days.

Everyone expressed joy, each with a different mood, with sincere blessings, envy and jealousy, and secretly cursing...

But for one thing, the news spread through a wider crowd.

Hollywood has always been a circle where news spreads very fast. Rumors not only spread at an amazing speed, but they often change every time they pass through a person's mouth. The direction of change is basically exaggerated.

The news about "Super Storm" passed word of mouth, and various expanded versions soon appeared.

For example, Shahai Entertainment takes this project very seriously and is ready to buy it heavily.

For example, the two sides are about to reach a lizard, and Shahai Entertainment wants to invest more than $100 million in filming and production.

There are even rumors that Ronan Anderson appreciates Julian Simpson's talent very much.

Although due to time constraints, the scope of the spread of rumors is not particularly wide, but it has also flew into the ears of many people and companies who have been paying attention to Relativity Entertainment and Ronan.

Their eyes fixed on Julian Simpson.

After the new week arrived, Julian Simpson walked into the Relativity Building in accordance with the agreement between the agent and Shahai Entertainment.
