Chapter 129： 3-line treatment

Looking through the contract, Lindsay Bill picked up the signature pen and signed the double contract.

Regardless of the current situation, or compared to the salary of the previous two Hollywood jobs, this contract is considered to be well paid. The weekly salary of the first book is 1,000 US dollars, and the second book is directly doubled by 2,000 US dollars. Three books doubled again, which is $4,000.

With a weekly salary of $4,000, most of the veteran screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for many years cannot get such pay.

Besides, there is a bonus for finishing the book, and you can get a royalty bonus if you publish it.

Three months of experience in Hollywood, Lindsay Bill, who is holding a dream, understands what reality is.

First of all, you have to support yourself, and secondly, pay off your student loans and get a foothold in Hollywood, and then you can talk about talents and dreams.

"Thank you for coming here specifically." Ronan closed the contract and shook hands with Lawyer Dinah.

Dinah Ampton said with a smile: "You can call anytime if you need it, I'll go first."

Ronan sent her out. After returning, he saw his little gunman in a daze. He coughed and said, "Miss Bill, let's talk about work."

Lindsay Bill's delicate facial features are matched to form a soft Eastern face, which is completely different from the temperament of the American Ocean Horse. He laughed out two little rabbit teeth and said, "Mr. Anderson, just call me Lindsay."

Ronan is also welcome: "Linsai, you call me Ronan, we will communicate frequently in the future, don't be too restrictive."

"Yeah." Lindsay Bill nodded her pointed chin.

Ronan opened the file cabinet and found out the three previously written backgrounds, characters and plot outlines, and handed them to Lindsay Bill, saying: "Look first, these are all female "sex" themes."

Compared to the original "Fifty Shadows of Gray", I have only watched adaptations of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", which means I have an impression of the hero and heroine and the main storyline. Others are forgotten. Almost, this outline is not perfect, and further optimization is needed to expand the plot later.

Lindsay Bill read the outline and understood why two paragraphs were written in the interview yesterday.

The first outline is a standard Mary Su story, but the background is magical, adding elements of vampires and werewolves, but depending on the setting, it still does not break away from the traditional routine that loves to die.

The second outline that followed Lindsay Bill preferred. It was the reconstruction of the human social order after the end of the world. The story of a strong, independent and willingly sacrificed heroine against the dictatorship.

It’s not that there are novels with similar utopian settings in North America. Lindsay Bill has also read several books, but it seems that there is no such thing as female **** as the absolute core and the role of **** in this way.

In Hollywood and even in the literary world, the requirement for female protagonists of "sex" is to be "cute." She has noticed countless times. Those people always say that the female protagonist looks like... they don't speak straight, but they do. It implies that the creator, a female "sex" role "color" must not act like a man, and a woman cannot do what a man can.

The third outline is the city fan version of the first outline, but it adds some abusive scenes.

Lindsay Bill has read a lot of "messy" books and is not surprised by these settings.

Ronan was very patient, until Lindsay Bill finished reading the three outlines, and then asked, "Any problem?"

This is related to the next job and job. Lindsay Bill is not welcome, saying: "The outline is not detailed enough. Many supporting characters just have a name and a history, but there is no more detailed setting."

"I'm not making you a mechanized assembly line operation." Ronan flicked: "You also need to mobilize your own subjective initiative "sex" to make the role "color" and the story fuller."

Lindsay Bill responded and said, "I see."

Ronan said again: "I will let someone reserve a desk for you at Shahai Entertainment. During the day you come to Shahai Entertainment to write, so that we can discuss the plot at any time. Other times are free. Submit it to me after writing 10,000 words. Review it once and respond to me in time if you have any questions."

"Okay," Lindsay Bill said, and then asked, "Which one should I write first?"

Ronan had planned for a long time, and said directly: "First complete "Twilight", then "The Hunger Games", and finally "Grey's Fifty Shadows."

Of course, these three novels only have the first one for the time being, and the remaining sequels can take their time after the first one is completed.

Lindsay Bill thought for a while, and said: "I am not very familiar with the background content of werewolves and vampires. I need to collect some information first."

"No problem." Ronan certainly knows the importance of pre-preparation: "I will let someone help you collect relevant materials, and you can go to the library at any time."

He glanced at the time: "Our contract will be executed from today. If it's okay, go and prepare."

Lindsay Bill glanced at Ronan, a little embarrassed, after thinking about it, she said, "Can I advance the salary for two weeks first, I..."

Ronan looked up at Lindsay Bill, but did not speak immediately.

"I have the student loan to be repaid." Lindsay Bill was a little lacking in confidence: "The rent is about to expire."

Ronan belonged to the kind of person who would inevitably ask for rewards and said, "Linsai, you go to the finance department to get a two-week salary, and I will call the finance department."

Lindsay Bill's face could not contain the surprise: "Thank you, thank you for your generosity."

Ronan emphasized: "I just hope you can devote all your energy to work."

"Yes, I will." Lindsay Bill promised: "I will do my best to do this job."

With the Gunners, it is only a matter of time before these three novels are written. Waiting for Lindsay Bill to complete the first part of "Twilight" and recommend it to the publishing house in the name of a film company. The publication may be very large.

Watching Lindsay Bill go out, Ronan suddenly had an idea. Maybe it would be good to create a beauty writer? Hold the copyright in your hand, and give Lindsay Bill the power to sign, print a few photos on the book, and then push Lindsay Bill to the front desk...

As long as they are properly promoted, talented beauty writers are easy to become popular.

This Lindsay Bill is much more beautiful than Joanna Rowling.

However, don’t worry about this. Ronan pushes people with his own self, and things like human heart and greed are too difficult to estimate. Welfare cannot be “sex” released at once, just like a little bit of “force” back from the other party’s bottom line during negotiations. Give it little by little at the right time.

Once "sex" releases all the benefits, what will attract people in the future?

Out of Ronan’s office, Lindsay Bill was taken to a desk in the corner by the female receptionist Eva. There is a complete set of office equipment here. You can use computers to write, or use traditional paper and pen, and computer networks. Can also check various information on the Internet.

"It's much more generous than the two small crews before." Lindsay Bill thought of the previous few people crowded on two desks to code scripts, and was very satisfied with this single station: "Generous, value female "sex", hand There is money in it, maybe this is a good boss."

"You can come to me if you need it." Eva quickly left here.

Lindsay Bill sat in a swivel chair and carefully looked at the outline of "Twilight". The principle of doing things with money is still very clear.

Besides, the treatment here is much better than before.

As for writing within the rules and regulations of Ronan Anderson, it doesn't matter at all.

This three-month screenwriting career has allowed Lindsay Bill to realize what kind of treatment he can get in Hollywood.

An old screenwriter has said that if you have not been humiliated by those stars who have not graduated from high school in the story discussion, then you have not been a Hollywood screenwriter. The screenwriter must always be prepared for the ideas and drafts that he has racked his brains to be ruthless. The deletion, alteration, and execution of the movie are worse than the Indians in the western script.

The screenwriter has to ask the producer's opinions, collect feedback and instructions, and go back and make adjustments.

Now, just like Ronan Anderson is in charge, it's much easier.

Time soon arrived at the weekend, Ronan put aside his work and, just like when the "Human Removal Project" was released, he found a theater in the bustling area of ​​North Hollywood, ready to go to the movies.

"Ace Agent" will be officially released in 1,500 theaters in North America this weekend.

Since the promotion and marketing are all aimed at ethnic minority groups, there is basically no advertisement for this film in the bustling area. It is the advertisement for "Death is Coming". Ronan walked from the apartment to Laurel Valley Avenue, where there were more than one billboards. Saw the poster on.

The influence of publicity and marketing on the box office of movies is self-evident, especially in the first weekend box office. Publicity and marketing even play a decisive role in sex.

Ronan entered the chain theater of Emperor Entertainment and looked at the poster in the front hall, and found "Ace Agent" in a less conspicuous position. The poster was centered on the Arab, Asian, Supporting actors such as African Americans and Latin Americans surrounded the back half a circle.

"How did you watch this movie? Action movie."

Someone next to him pointed to the "Ace Agent" poster and discussed. Ronan turned his head and glanced at the two white men. The older one shook his head and said, "I don't like the protagonist. The one is too strange. Let's look at others. ."

Ronan sighed, is this really a face-seeking world?

When he arrived at the ticket office, Ronan took a close look at the electronic trailer in front of him. The bright red font was very eye-catching. "Ace Agent" was also among them. However, this film was only shown in one theater in the seventh field.

""Ace Agent"." Ronan said to the conductor: "A ticket, thank you."

After buying the tickets, he waited for a while, and entered the seventh theater ten minutes before the opening. For the convenience of observation, Ronan chose the last row of seats and waited patiently.

Whether the theater is big or not, it can hold about a hundred people. Obviously, the theater will not put the best resources on "Ace Agent", not to mention "Black Sun Crisis", which has only been released for two weeks. There is "Guillotine Valley" by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

"Ace Agent" enjoys only three-tier treatment in the theater.
