Chapter 618： 2 sides of the star

As a rich and thoughtful Hollywood tycoon, Ronan once thought about cutting down countless trees, so he paid great attention to protecting privacy, especially at home.

There are some paparazzi who don't want money or life, but they are also crazy.

Ronan has brought back the girl star. No matter how fierce the gossip is outside, it doesn't matter to him, the behind-the-scenes producer, but to be sneaked in by a paparazzi to make a small video is more than shameful.

Therefore, in addition to the surveillance erected on the tall walls, the Future World Manor also has a second set of surveillance systems that are secretly camouflaged on the tall trees.

In fact, if you want to sneak into the Future World Manor quietly, you can use Tom Cruise's representative work to describe it-an impossible task.

Super agents like Ethan Hunter can only live in movies.

Ronan sat on the sofa, looked at Nikia, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Nikia stood by and said in detail: "Security personnel reported that some people were looking at the trash can near the manor recently, and they appeared near the manor. They always like to stand in a blind spot to observe the manor, if it weren’t for a second monitoring system. It’s hard to find them."

Ronan questioned: "Paparazzi?" He denied it himself: "I'm not a star. Paparazzi shouldn't go to the trash can."

Nikia answered: "There used to be paparazzi around the manor. It feels different from these people, and there is no need for paparazzi to always hide in the blind spot to observe the manor."

Ronan didn't understand, but he was always cautious and said, "Notify Vinci to strengthen the security of the manor."

Nikia suggested: "It's best to strengthen your side."

Ronan nodded slowly: "In the future, when I travel, I will add two more bodyguards and let them drive behind me in secret."

"Okay." Nikia said, "I'm going to tell Vinci."

It is necessary to pay attention to safety and privacy, but Ronan does not pay too much attention to it. After all, there are paparazzi everywhere in Los Angeles. Some are officially hired, and more are free paparazzi.

That is, the kind of money that is exchanged in the media after taking pictures or getting valuable news.

Compared with the former, the latter is bolder and has no bottom line.

The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" ended all filming, returned to Los Angeles from Latin America, entered the post-production studio of the Relativity Building, and began post-production.

Ronan went directly to the Theory of Relativity Building the next day.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom turned to Mulholland Road and drove a certain distance forward. An SUV that had been waiting on Mulholland Road followed far behind and hung behind Rolls Royce not too far away.

These are two newly added bodyguards.

In the car, Ronan said to Vinci in the co-pilot: "Let them follow in secret."

Vinci said, "I'm done."

Ronan nodded, did not speak any more, thinking about his work.

There were a lot of vehicles on Mulholland Road, and a scratching accident occurred at the middle intersection, which caused a bit of traffic jam. When the Rolls-Royce Phantom entered Century City, it had already passed the appointment with Jessica Felton.

Ronan called Jessica Felton, remembering what Nikia said yesterday, and out of caution, he asked: "Are there any abnormalities found later?"

Vinci dialed his cell phone and after a brief conversation with the car behind, he said to Ronan, "No, no one is following."

Ronan did not ask any more. When the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of the Theory of Relativity, he took the elevator directly upstairs, and in a post-production room, he met Jessica Felton.

"Hey, Jesse, let me see, your skin shines brightly." Ronan and Jessica Felton gave a light hug, and said, "Is this the effect of the bright sunshine in the Caribbean?"

Jessica Felton said with a slight dissatisfaction: "You might as well just say that I'm black."

Ronan laughed: "It hasn't turned black. Brown skin looks healthier." He looked up and down: "I'm thinner, but I'm thinner in the place where I should be thinner, and my body is better."

Jessica Felton put her arms around her chest and said, "I lost ten pounds compared to when I first entered the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Ronan nodded: "Thank you."

"It's mainly my heart tired." Faced with her old friend, Jessica Felton was not polite and said directly: "A Johnny Depp is going to drive the whole crew crazy. Two months after shooting, I I'm almost fighting against Johnny Depp's professional ethics. I have been in this industry for many years and this is the first time I have seen such a crushing actor."

Ronan gently-patted her arm: "You don't have to bear him anymore."

Jessica Felton’s complaint is not over yet: “In the last month of shooting, I was intimidated and coaxed to let him finish all the shots. Ronan, I still don’t understand why one face Stars who are very kind and enthusiastic towards fans become actors who lack even basic professional ethics when they arrive on the crew?"

"Because he is different, but he is not an idiot." Ronan said, "Understanding fans is the basis of everything."

Stars are typical two-sided creatures.

Jessica Felton's arms squeezed, her chest flattened instantly: "Ronan, did you know? In the second half of the filming, Johnny Depp drank a lot and even remembered her lines became a problem. I asked, put on wireless headphones, and let the staff on the sidelines read the lines to remind him when he was shooting! I couldn't believe my ears at the time, and some actors would do it."

Ronan sighed and said, "Jesse, this will happen more and more in the future. Now that we have entered the Internet age, celebrities are prone to become popular. Some people who become popular are due to the expansion of their mentality and their own quality. With a fan base, it is impossible to hone one's abilities like the older generation of actors."

Jessica Felton shrugged slightly: "Times have changed." She asked: "Relativistic entertainment will use these actors who lack even the most basic professional qualities?"

"See if they can bring enough returns." Ronan's answer pointed to the core of the question: "Why not bring enough commercial returns? Of course, they can't challenge the authority of production companies and producers."

Jessica Felton understood Ronan: "Everything is in line with business, I understand." She stopped continuing the topic, and asked instead: "After I came back, I heard that you had a lot of trouble?"

Ronan smiled: "Small problems are basically solved, and those that can't be solved can be solved after a while."

Jessica Felton is not a vase, reminded: "Be careful."

"I understand." Ronan lowered his voice: "There are some things that can't be avoided."

If Relativity Entertainment wants to continue to maintain rapid development, the six major companies need to face it, and they cannot bypass it.

Jessica Felton added: “While the crew was still filming, Warner Bros. signed a contract with Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp is going to film according to Rolda Dahl’s Charlie and Chocolate "The Factory" is an adaptation of the movie of the same name. Now it's Warner Bros.'s turn to have a headache."

Ronan said: "The director of this film is Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp will constrain a lot when facing him."

"Perhaps." Jessica Felton asked: "Ronan, I declare that I will never work with Johnny Depp again."

Ronan nodded: "Don't worry, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy has been filmed. Even if there is a sequel later, it will have to wait six or seven years or more."

He looked at Jessica Felton's exquisite face comparable to Jessica Alba, and asked: "Would you like to take a vacation? I'm going to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival in a few days. Let's go together? It’s a vacation."

Jessica Felton gave Ronan a wary look: "Why are you suddenly inviting me to go to France?"

Ronan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Jessica Felton meant, and said, "It's nothing, see you have been too hard recently."

Jessica Felton said: "No, post-production is about to begin, I can't live without it. Why not, when the post-production of "Gathering Soul Coffin" is completed, you will reward me with a trip around the world or a trip to the North Pole. of?"

Ronan replied, "No problem." He looked at Vinci who was standing aside: "You can remember and say hello to Connie."

Vinci didn't interrupt, but just nodded slightly.

Ronan's words turned to work: "The Coffin Gathering Soul" will be released next summer. Can it be completed on time?"

"Time is abundant." When it comes to work, Jessica Felton seems to have confidence in her own: "The funds are also abundant, and I can't find a reason why it can't be done."

Several staff members entered the post-production room at this time and walked towards this side. It was obvious that there was a job to find Jessica Felton, Ronan did not wait much, and said goodbye to Jessica Felton. , Out of the post-production room.

He did not leave the Theory of Relativity Building, went to the office floor of the crew upstairs, found David Fincher, and cared about the preparations for the movie project.

Compared to other movies projects written by Lindsay Bill, progress is slow.

David Fincher is completely different from fast shooters like Spielberg and Michael Bay. He pays attention to slow work and meticulous work. So far, the crew has fewer than ten people, and more of them are engaged in preliminary preparations for text and materials. .

Ronan had a detailed chat with David Fincher for a while. According to David Fincher's plan, the film would not be completed until the end of 2005 at the earliest.

In this way, the film can only impact the 2006 awards season.

Ronan gave David Fincher a certain degree of freedom. When the film was released in 2006, it could circumvent "Brokeback Mountain" and avoid the cannibalism of the Relativity Entertainment film.

Starting from this year's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", in the next few years, Relativity Entertainment will launch heavyweight award-winning movies every award season.

After dealing with the affairs of Los Angeles, Ronan joined Will Smith and flew to France together to participate in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
