Chapter 177： Recommend a director

? As if thinking about the situation that day, Amanda Seyfried whispered: "I never thought that bad guys are so close to me, a respected producer, is such a shameless person! "

Ronan touched his nose subconsciously and said, "Many people cannot just look at the surface."

"Yeah." Amanda kept nodding: "Ronan, I can see that not every producer is as good as you."

Ronan didn't feel ashamed at all, but smiled and said, "Stay away from this kind of person. Amanda, protect yourself."

Amanda finally had a natural smile: "I ran away after I refused that day."

Ronan knew that, in fact, this was the best choice. The police could not be resolved. The other party just invited Amanda Seyfried to be a guest.

With the development of society up to now, the speed of information dissemination is extremely fast. As long as some things are hinted a little, each other will understand what they mean.

"Later, I always failed the audition." Amanda said again: "Will it be related to this person?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "It's hard to tell, it may be related."

Some filmmakers have a very wide network, but the possibility of a relationship is relatively small. This kind of thing is generally about you and me. If you refuse, no one will hold onto it.

"Don't think too much, it's okay." Ronan comforted: "A TV show producer, even if he is influential, will not affect me."

Amanda Seyfried nodded: "Well, I listen to you." She pointed to the outside of the reception room: "I didn't tell my mother about this. I'm afraid she is worried, so don't tell her, OK?"

Ronan assured: "Okay. This is the secret of the two of us."

Amanda Seyfried prepares to leave: "I'm leaving."

Ronan urged: "There are problems that can't be solved, just come to me."

Sending Amanda Seyfried to the front desk, Ronan said to Mrs. Seyfried: "When the crew selects the actors, I will let someone inform you that the audition process will also go away."

Mrs. Seyfried thanked her busy schedule: "Mr. Anderson, thank you for giving Amanda the opportunity."

Amanda Seyfried just kept staring at Ronan, thinking about the shameless producer before, and then looking at Ronan, the gap was too big.

The two quickly left. Ronan returned to the reception room and took the handbag, and gave it to Eva at the front desk to share the cake.

Afterwards, Ronan returned to the office, finished the work at hand, and began to read the first draft of "Twilight" written by Lindsay Bill. He didn't know because he had never seen the original version in his previous life and there was a major adaptation of the movie. What are the specific changes.

After spending three days, Ronan read the first draft intermittently, and didn't think there was anything that could be changed.

There are too many such slots, and the subject of Marie Su alone is not very attractive to men.

Ronan contacted an editor at Random House through the company's channel and recommended the past. Those commercial editors may have average book writing skills, but they have a deep understanding of the book market, so they will provide professional suggestions for amendments. , Far better than Ronan and other outsiders.

There will be a regular review at the publisher, and it will take a while to get specific news.

At the station, Lindsay Bill placed a stack of books next to him. When Ronan passed by, she was holding a copy of "1984" to read.

Ronan has not read this book, but he has heard of it, and it is called "American New World" and "We", and is known as the three masterpieces of dystopia.

Lindsay Bill saw Ronan pull the chair next to him and sit down, smiling and saying, "Boss."

"Is this preparing for "The Hunger Games"?" Ronan asked.

"I have nothing else to do. I took a few days off and collected some dystopian books." Lindsay Bill bookmarked the book and said: "I think "The Hunger Games" is better than "Twilight." It's difficult to write, and it also involves totalitarian rule and politics, which I lack."

It's always good to be more prepared, Ronan agreed: "I will let Connie send someone to help you gather information."

Lindsay Bill certainly wouldn't refuse: "Someone will help me to start work soon." She glanced at Ronan and tentatively said: "The sooner you start writing, the sooner you can finish."

Ronan was a little surprised because he paid his salary on a weekly basis.

Lindsay Bill's voice was much quieter: "I want to be a screenwriter sooner."

Ronan immediately understood what she meant, and said: "Don't worry, finish these three, as long as you want, the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment welcomes you to join."

Valuable people deserve recognition.

I also talked to Lindsay Bill about the main plot and character settings of "The Hunger Games". Ronan left the company and rushed to the Warner Studios. The crew of "Human Removal Project 2" has already moved in here.

As long as any film producer with a little experience will follow the successful experience and template, Warner Studios is a blessed place for Shahai Entertainment. Several movies were shot here, even the box office losing "Ace Agent", all won for the company Large income.

Warner Studios is now in dilapidated state. The rental cost is not as high as it was in the past. There are independent office areas and suitable post-production studios inside, which can provide a lot of convenience for the crew.

As a result of an appointment with Tom Cruise, Ronan soon went to the Warner Studios.

Unexpectedly, Tom Cruise arrived earlier than he did.

When Ronan arrived, Tom Cruise was talking to Andrew about the general situation of the crew.

"Hi, Tom." Ronan took the initiative to say hello.

Tom Cruise shook his hand and joked: "You are late."

In the previous few exchanges, plus the current cooperation, Ronan was not polite with him, saying: "You are here early."

Tom Cruise smiled brightly: "I just came here too."

Ronan looked at him a little, Tom Cruise looked normal and didn't seem to be influenced by the media too much.

Recently, there have been more and more rumors about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and the media has also contributed to it. It is said that the couple have separated and the divorce battle is about to start.

Compared to Tom Cruise’s silence, Nicole Kidman gave full play to the advantages of women. In several interviews, she cried out about her misfortune in marriage, etc., and mentioned several times that Tom Cruise had signed a prenuptial agreement with her. , As if she was a miserable victim, Tom Cruise was going to let her go out of the house.

If a man complains publicly about this kind of thing, it must be a curse. There are hats such as lacklustre and miserly, and they will definitely not be removed from the head.

And women? It's easy to win sympathy.

As for true or false? No one cares.

What the media needs is an eye-catching material, and the audience only believes what they can see.

In his previous life, when Ronan first saw the report of the divorce case of the century, he sympathized with Nicole Kidman and hated Tom Cruise, but things were not as simple as they seemed.

"How is the crew?" Tom Cruise didn't seem to be affected too much: "How is the progress?"

Andrew said: "We plan to start filming in mid-April and finish filming at the beginning of June at the latest. All post-production will be completed in September and will be released on Halloween this year."

Tom Cruise turned to Ronan: "Is it issued by your issuing company?"

Ronan confirmed: "The Embassy Pictures is responsible for North American and overseas distribution."

Tom Cruise was a bit suspicious: "Is it all right overseas?"

He knows that Ronan has established overseas distribution channels for the Embassy Pictures, among which he has also contributed, otherwise there will be no investment opportunities in the "Human Removal Project 2".

Ronan said: "Embassy Pictures almost completely took over the distribution department of Polygram Pictures, and most of the distribution offices around the world have been established. Alan Albert is an individual talent and is working on several films of Shahai Entertainment. Overseas distribution plan."

"Speaking of it, I really admire you." Tom Cruise doesn't seem to be telling lies: "In just one year, you have established extremely critical North American distribution channels and overseas distribution channels. DreamWorks did not do anything. To."

Ronan smiled: "Good luck. Really, good luck. Such an opportunity is rare."

In the next ten years, we will never even encounter such a good opportunity again. DreamWorks will continue to fall apart, and has neither established nor bought overseas distribution channels, and will only retreat under the pressure of the six major companies.

Tom Cruise's tone is not without envy: "Able to independently produce and distribute independently, except for the Big Six, there are very few such companies in Hollywood."

Ronan knew that he was telling the truth. There are many Hollywood companies that can distribute films in North America, but few have overseas distribution capabilities.

"Tom." Ronan said suddenly: "You and your friends' company, if there is a film to be released, you can find my Embassy Pictures."

"I will find you if I need it," Tom Cruise said.

He has participated in the investment of many films, and even owns part of the copyright of the "Mission Impossible" series, but he has no such consideration for the time being.

Before Embassy Pictures proves its overseas distribution ability , you must not take a risk.

Andrew had work to do, Ronan took Tom Cruise around in the studio, director James Huang went to Long Beach to inspect the location, and the entire director team was temporarily out of here.

Turning around, when he came to the entrance of the studio, Ronan suddenly thought that Tom Cruise had worked hard in Hollywood for nearly two decades and had become a first-line star for more than ten years. He has a wide network of contacts. Maybe he can recommend a suitable one. Candidate.

"Fatal Turn" has never found a suitable director.

"Right, Tom." Ronan is not polite at this time since he befriends Tom Cruise: "You have a lot of connections in Hollywood and you know many people. Can you recommend a director for me?"

Tom Cruise asked: "Do you have a movie project?"

Ronan said naturally: "An original horror movie."

Hearing the original, Tom Cruise's interest in an instant diminished. If he was in the sequel, he could still try to see Ronan's willingness to accept investment, and forget about the original movie.
