Chapter 212： Review Editor

Returning to Los Angeles from Rosario, Ryan did not even return home, and went straight to Burbank.

Although many of them are due to work, the most important thing is that Nicole is in the editing room of Jenkins Pictures and the director is busy with the post-production of "Small Cry".

After several years of development, Jenkins Pictures is no longer the original shell company. Although it still maintains the production model of split-account cooperation, it also has its own full-time staff. The office location was moved in last year. In a single-family three-story office building.

To be precise, this office building used to belong to Carlock Films, the company that produced the "Terminator" series. In 1994, Carlock raised US$100 million and shot a film that almost ended a genre "Cut Throat Island". ".

After the film was released last year, it only won a box office of less than ten million dollars and became a complete failure. The Carlock Film Company, which was originally in the upper middle position, had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and find a next home.

Its helm, Mario Casa, was introduced by James Cameron and went to Australia to find Ryan, so Jenkins Pictures completed its first acquisition since its birth. Not only did it have professional personnel and equipment, There is also its own distribution channel.

In addition, Ryan's other plan is also in operation. As early as the beginning of the year, he asked Julis Stewart to send out a job advertisement to the United States to recruit screenwriters!

That's right, it's recruiting screenwriters!

No one knows better than Ryan that after entering the new century, Hollywood commercial script creation will be completely reduced to an assembly line, and it will become the norm for a dozen or even dozens of screenwriters to jointly write the same script.

The most typical one is the successful "Charlie Girl 1". Nearly 20 screenwriters participated in the script, and the script has been revised at least 30 times-excluding the number of times the boss, Drew Barrymore, revised it on the spot. ——Some screenwriters specialize in fighting, some screenwriters specialize in romance, and some screenwriters specialize in dialogue, and they perform their own duties. Successfully completed a typical popcorn script.

Just like Ryan said before, after entering the nineties, almost all the bridge segments are almost used by commercial movies, even if it is the hugely successful "Titanic", the storyline is also not new. Poor boy The bridge with the rich girl has been around for decades, but it was caught in the sinking of the Titanic, showing the brilliance of humanity in the shipwreck.

Even if it is recognized as an excellent creative "The Matrix", after splitting it, you will find most of the scenes. It is still the usual tactics and bridges used by Hollywood.

The bridge sections are still those bridge sections. Creativity and new ideas are the scarcest things in this era. It is these things that Ryan lacks most.

A person's energy is limited. It is impossible for Ryan to sit in front of his notebook every day and write down the movies he has seen. He needs a team. An excellent team of screenwriters turned his ideas and outline settings into a complete script.

Ryan only needs to set up the frame template and let the rest of the people fill it with specific sections and content until he is satisfied. Besides, he will only let these people fill those typical popcorn movies.

Of course, he will still keep the two to three scripts completely written by himself every year, so that those classic movies will be marked with eye-catching Ryan Jenkins-style works.

Entering the office building belonging to Jenkins Pictures, Ryan beckoned to the front desk. Came directly to Julius Stewart's office.

"Hi, Jules." Just after saying hello to Julis Stewart, Ryan saw the two kids playing on the other side, "Taylor, why are you here?"

"Nicole brought me here." The blonde curly hair was plausible. "You went to Mexico, Austin was sick again, no one was playing with me, so Nicole took me here, at least there is Christine with me here."

"Hi, Ryan." As if rehearsing, the other little guy beckoned him.

"Hello, Christine." Beckoned to the tomboy, Ryan looked at Jules again, "Where is Nicole? On the second floor?"

"In the editing room."

"I'll go to see Nicole first, and I'll talk about other things later." Ryan just walked out of the office, and then there was a clear shout, "Wait for me, I also want to go."

"And I……"

Amidst the pedaling footsteps, the two little guys followed, and then Taylor said triumphantly, “Don’t be afraid of her, Christine, as long as Nicole is there, you can bully Ryan at will. You don’t think you bully him so much. Are celebrities fun?"

"What if Nicole isn't there?" Ryan glanced at her.

"Ah..." The little girl scratched the curly hair on her head vigorously, and then smiled flatteringly, "Ryan, aren't we good friends?"

"My dear, you still know that we are friends."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the editing room and made a shut-up gesture to the two little guys. These two guys have been playing big in the film company since they were young, so they naturally understood the rules and closed their mouths obediently.

Nicole was originally exchanging opinions with the director, as if she had a clear heart. When Ryan opened the door and walked into the editing room, she turned her head and looked over, but didn't say much. After giving a look, she was busy. Started his own job.

Wait a while! Ryan naturally understood her meaning, took the two children, and sat quietly on the side. After about a few minutes, Nicole frowned and walked over.

"Not home?"

"There is no you at home." Ryan's voice can only be heard by a few people around him.

"I don't have time to mess around with you, I still have work." Looking at Ryan's tanned skin, the distress in Nicole's eyes was fleeting.

"If you are busy, I have to go to the editorial department."

After Nicole left, Ryan looked at her side, "You two, stay here and don't make trouble."

"Ok!"

"Huh~"

Listening to two completely different voices, Ryan shook his head, went downstairs to greet Julis, and went to the meeting room of the editorial department.

There were more than a dozen men and women in the conference room. Ryan was at the top of the conference table, tapped the table lightly, and said, “The purpose of Jenkins Pictures’ establishment of the editorial department is that everyone must have understood before entering the company. I think After your resume, you have a wealth of experience in the industry."

There are no so-called newcomers sitting here. Although they are not well-known, they are a group of screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for many years and have been unwilling.

"Let's put it this way." Ryan stood up and took a few steps. "You should know that I have a lot of ideas, but time has limited me to turn these ideas into words or pictures. I will provide you with detailed ideas and designs. Yes, you need to complete it."

"You have been ups and downs in Hollywood for many years. You should know that with the development of the film industry to this day, it is difficult to innovate in many segments. The biggest selling point of a script is often creative, as long as those seemingly clichéd bridges A paragraph, which can perfectly match the creativity and theme of the script, it can be regarded as a very good script."

"I will provide you with generous treatment..."

Hearing Ryan said so, many people showed bright smiles. The treatment provided by Jenkins Pictures is already at the top level of ordinary screenwriters.

"Also, anyone who participated in the compilation of the script can sign in the screenwriter column. If someone can come up with creative ideas and ideas, and it does have market value, I will introduce the film company to you. Future contracts At the expiration of the term, if you want to change jobs, I can also personally write a recommendation letter that matches your experience."

The eyes of these people are all shining. The success of the signed script into a movie means a qualification. Ryan Jenkins's personal recommendation letter is equivalent to knocking on the key to the doors of various film companies.

They are all figures who have been in Hollywood for many years, so naturally they know the weight of those words.

The carrot was thrown out, and then there was a stick.

"I believe you have all carefully read the confidentiality agreement signed. Any information I provide is limited to discussion within the editorial department, and not even a letter is allowed to be spread out!"

If someone really dared to violate the contract, Ryan didn't mind letting Wilson lawyer organize a team of lawyers to sue the other party for bankruptcy.

"Well, I believe in your professional ethics."

Ryan made a gesture to Julius's assistant, and she immediately sent them a copy of the material. This was nothing strange, just a very common comic.

"Men in black..." someone muttered.

Although everyone's comic content is somewhat different, they have the same name-"Men in Black"-which was distributed with the comic, and a script outline and main settings written by Ryan.

This comic has been born for a few years, and its reputation is not very strong. Ryan has been granted the right to adapt the film for a long time. When he took back the right to adapt the film from Sony Columbia, he almost bought it for a deal.

"I will leave the e-mail address to you. If you have any questions, you can send me an e-mail. After the script is reviewed, I will propose corresponding amendments."

For the first time to do this, Ryan is ready to modify the script dozens or even hundreds of times After all, the two sides need to run-in.

"Julie, you will be responsible for this for the time being."

The brief meeting quickly dissipated, and when the others were gone, Ryan said to the head of the company.

"No problem, Ryan."

In fact, after completing the acquisition of Carlock Films, most of the daily administrative work was handed over to Mario Casa.

This once ambitious producer suffered a major blow after the failure of "Cut Throat Island" and vowed to never participate directly in film production.

"By the way, Ryan, don't forget the premiere of "** Day"." Jules reminded that this is the highlight of the collaboration between Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

"It depends on the situation then, there may not be time."

"** Day" is naturally to be premiered on ** Day, when Ryan's vacation was over long ago. With James Cameron’s character, even the ** Day holiday will continue to be filmed. ()
