Chapter 1063： Thanksgiving

In mid-October, Relativity Entertainment went from preparation to filming to release. A film that took nearly three years was released in North America.

This is an original project. In order to create the script, Lindsay Bill not only spent more than half a year preparing for it, but also went deep into a special group to do actual research and truly experienced the ecology of that circle.

Many circles can't clearly understand the operating characteristics and industry situation when they are outside. Only by digging into them can they understand.

Therefore, Lindsay Bill's full preparations laid a solid foundation for the film project.

When David Fincher signed the director contract, Lindsay Bill assisted David Fincher to do a lot of practical research work. In order to avoid copyright conflicts, the crew even funded the authorization of several real characters.

Those women who dared to sell themselves for money, didn't care about selling their own experiences, and made a fortune.

For many women, as long as the first step is over, they will only get deeper and deeper.

Not everyone can find an honest person to take over.

Besides, where are so many honest men in this world?

Lindsay Bill once said that that circle has a very terrifying and almost crazy assimilation ability. After staying with those people for a long time, looking at their easy way of earning money and luxurious and luxurious life, it is inevitable that something should not be produced. idea.

I'm used to making money lying down, and it's hard to stand up again.

There is a saying that can describe the mentality of people in this industry-holding on to the pillows and supporting the wall, the pain is always better than working.

As one of the oldest industries of mankind, it is difficult to treat those people with normal social values.

Maybe the people who walked that way, just like Lindsay Bill’s classmates, don’t care what other people think of her.

Although the film tells the story of an industry hidden in the dark, it has a shining name-"Sunshine Girl"!

Director David Fincher is a director who never likes to go bright.

The premiere of "Sunshine Girl" was held in Los Angeles. Due to the existence of David Fincher, many people came to join in. The heroine Rachel McAdams also brought her boyfriend Ryan Gosling.

At the invitation of a friend, Jessica Felton came to the premiere alone.

"Where is Ronan?"

In front of the theater gate, Lindsay Bill looked at Jessica Felton alone, and asked, "Is he not here?"

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "He can't come. Robert Iger called him in New York. He went to New York the day before yesterday to deal with some work related to Wall Street."

Lindsay-Bill was somewhat disappointed: "The initiator of "Sunshine Girl" is Ronan. He handed over this project to me. I didn't expect that he didn't even come to the premiere."

Jessica Felton said relievedly: "He is a man, he has forgotten everything when he is busy at work."

"Yes." Lindsay Bill also knows Ronan somewhat: "When I'm busy at work, I often throw your girlfriend aside."

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "I am almost like him."

Lindsay Bill smiled and said, "Okay, I know you are in a good relationship, don't make me envy."

Jessica Felton pointed to the entrance of the theater: "Well, I'm going in."

Entering the theater, Jessica Felton met Thomas, the director of theatrical distribution department of Embassy Pictures. Although the two are not very familiar, they are considered to know each other, and they chatted briefly.

When Thomas left, a middle-aged woman with short hair and short hair came over.

"Hi, Jessie." The middle-aged woman seemed to be very familiar with Jessica Felton.

Hearing a familiar voice, Jessica Felton turned her head and glanced, with a decent smile on her face, and said, "Good evening, Coty, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The middle-aged woman 　　 found was Diablo Coty, the screenwriter of the film project "Juneo" where Jessica Felton was a producer.

The two have worked together once, and they are familiar with each other and the relationship is not bad.

Diablo Coty saw people coming in from outside, and said in a low voice, "Jesse, can we talk to another place alone?"

Jessica Felton was a little weird, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"There is a small matter." Diablo Coty smiled and said, "I want to talk to you alone."

Jessica Felton is not the kind of super-technical man who doesn’t understand the world, especially since she officially communicated with Ronan, she has also worked hard in this regard, and Diablo-Cotti is also an acquaintance who has had successful cooperation. , Immediately said: "You come with me."

found the staff of Embassy Pictures, Jessica Felton asked them to take them into a rest room.

"There are two of us here." Jessica Felton sat on the sofa and said, "Cotty, you can just tell me something."

Diablo Coty thought for a while, and said, "The success of "Juneo" has helped me a lot. Jesse, I have never thanked you."

Jessica Felton said generously: "We are cooperating and we all want to succeed. You are too polite."

"No, no, I am really grateful to you." Diablo Coti suddenly changed his voice and said: "After the success of "Juneo", I have enough qualifications to officially join the screenwriters union."

Upon hearing the name Screenwriter Guild, Jessica Felton suddenly remembered what Lindsay Bill had said the other day, as well as some things Ronan had mentioned.

It seems that there have been a lot of troubles surrounding the screenwriters' union recently.

She cheered up secretly, and she also had a guess that Diablo-Cotti came here, maybe it had another purpose.

Diablo Coty looked at Jessica Felton and said, "Jesse, you also know that with the union, our rights and interests are more protected."

Jessica Felton smiled, but did not answer.

Diablo Coty thought of the solemn request of the director of the screenwriters union, and felt that he enjoyed the rights of the union and should fulfill the duties of union members.

Besides, if she can really achieve her goal, it will be of great benefit to her.

"Recently, there has been a lot of trouble surrounding the screenwriters’ union, actors’ union, and director’s union.” Diablo-Cotti tentatively said: “I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. strike."

Jessica Felton said: "Have heard the rumors in this regard."

Diablo-Cotti said seriously: "This is not a rumor. I don't know the actors' union and the directors' union, but the screenwriters' union is really preparing to strike."

"I am not a member of the screenwriters' union." Jessica Felton reminded.

Instead, she is a member of the Producers League.

Diablo Coty didn’t seem to hear Jessica Felton’s words, and continued: “Once a strike occurs, not only the screenwriter but also the producer will be among the injured. Jesse, we are all this. A member of the industry, no one can stay out of it."

Her words are not unreasonable: "I don't want a strike to happen, and you don't want to? And those behind the scenes staff who follow you, no one wants to see a strike happen, right?"

Jessica Felton still smiled and did not answer.

"I can have today because you and Relativity Entertainment have given me the opportunity. I have always been very grateful." Diablo-Cotti knows how to be grateful: "My cooperation with Relativity Entertainment has not only brought me "Juno "The success of "Relativistic Entertainment has also shown me another thing. Relativity Entertainment is the busiest company in Hollywood's production business. Once a strike occurs, Relativity Entertainment will suffer huge losses."

These words do sound very reasonable. If an industry strike does happen, at least a dozen projects of Relativity Entertainment will be suspended.

Jessica Felton can think of this, but it is equally clear that Ronan can also think of it.

Diablo Coty looked at Jessica Felton in his thoughts, and added fire: "I don't want to see the relativity entertainment that gave me a chance to succeed in vain, and even cut off the good momentum of development. From the perspective of personal relationships, I cannot accept such a thing."

She added emotion in her words: "Although my strength is very small, I have been working hard and trying to contact everyone I know in the circle to prevent this kind of bad incident from happening. I think this can also help. Relativity entertainment."

Jessica Felton said: "I don't want to see a strike happen either."

Hearing this Diablo Coty seemed to be encouraged: "Jesse, join in, let's work hard together."

"How do you work hard?" Jessica Felton slowly shook her head: "This kind of thing, personal strength is very limited, I can't see the direction of effort."

Diablo Coti slowed down: "I think there is a way to prevent the worst from happening." She straightened her expression: "Jesse, you have a huge influence in Relativity Entertainment, if you It can help Relativity Entertainment take the lead in reaching an agreement with the trade union organization. Even if a strike occurs, it will not affect you."

This is quite euphemistic, but it also represents the fact that the producer alliance is composed of multiple Hollywood forces, and it is not impossible for one of the companies to reach an agreement with the union organization alone.

Jessica Felton smiled: "You overestimate me, Coty, I am a producer, and I am only responsible for film production. I have no right to participate in other aspects of affairs, nor will I participate."

The meaning of this refusal is very obvious, but Diablo Coty did not give up: "Jesse, you underestimate your influence..."

Jessica Felton raised his hand to stop Diablo Coty and continued speaking, standing up: "I'm just a part-time worker."

Even people like Lindsay Bill who came from a screenwriter didn’t want to mix up, let alone a producer who came from an editor?

Why did Diablo-Cotti come to look for her? Jessica Felton is not stupid, not because of Ronan. .

Let her blow the pillow wind for Ronan?

Jessica Felton is not that stupid. She never expresses any opinions when it comes to the entertainment management of Relativity.
