Chapter 645： Creepy look

On Friday morning, walking into the Theory of Relativity Building, Kevin Fitch walked through the spacious lobby and entered the elevator.

The interior of this brand-new office building is busy, and there are many people coming and going, some of whom can be named.

For example, Ann Lee, who won an Oscar for best foreign language film, Christian Bale, who played the small blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the young Australian actor Heath Ledger, and the serious-looking dark film director David Fincher, etc. Wait.

Kevin Fitch is very clear that these people are different from him. They are definitely not employees of Relativity Entertainment or its subsidiaries, but temporary employees.

They are cooperating with a company under Relativity Entertainment on film or other film and television projects.

Nowadays, Relativity Entertainment produces more than ten films every year, with a total investment of more than 500 million U.S. dollars, and total revenue...

Kevin Fitch only joined Marvel Entertainment under Relativity Entertainment this year, and he doesn't know much about it.

Relativity Entertainment is not listed, the share structure is simple, and there is no need to disclose operating data to the outside world. Therefore, there are speculations that the actual profitability of Relativity Entertainment far exceeds the estimation of external institutions.

The possibility in this regard is very high.

It is said that Ronan has just spent a lot of money to turn the famous Manchester United club into his personal plaything.

Ronan, whom Kevin Fitch knew, was a very rational person. If he didn't have sufficient funds, would he buy a professional sports club?

The huge "Avengers Project" needs financial support.

Coming to the top floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, Kevin Fitch met Ronan's assistant Connie. After greeted her, he quickly entered Ronan's office.

"I had two rounds of negotiations with Susan Levine." Kevin Fitch knew Ronan a little bit, and got to the point: "Probably I also figured out their situation."

Ronan smiled and said, "It would be nice if you are solely responsible for this."

Kevin Fitch said naturally: "This is the first time I have been an independent producer. There are some key points that you still need to grasp."

Marvel is an old company, but Marvel Entertainment is a new company. If you want to gain a foothold in Marvel Entertainment, you can even do more. Ability is a relationship. He can't ignore some small details.

Everyone knows that the CEO of Marvel Entertainment is Avi Allard. How many people know him, who is Kevin Fitch? Therefore, Ronan's support is the most critical.

Avi Allard is far away in New York, but he is in Los Angeles. It is also an advantage to be able to meet Ronan frequently.

An assistant brought coffee in at this time, and Avi Allard thanked him and said: "From the attitude that Susan Levine faintly expressed, Robert Downey Jr. is very eager for the role of Iron Man."

Ronan nodded slightly: "It is difficult for him to find a better opportunity in a short time."

Having said that, Robert Downey Jr. floated in the sky for so many years, and finally fell to the ground.

Kevin Fitch also said: "The two rounds of negotiations mainly involved the film contract and the film pay. According to the plan, I offered the first $300,000 film pay, and the 12 film contracts, the highest pay 20 million US dollars..."

Ronan asked directly: "Susan Levine's terms?"

"Currently there are six film contracts, and the first film is paid for $1 million." Kevin Fitch tried to be concise: "But in addition to the pay, she invited Robert Downey Jr. to have the right to negotiate the final share based on the box office performance of the previous film. ."

Ronan said: "The ten-part contract does not involve the later division."

Kevin Fitch said: "Can the first film pay appropriately?"

Ronan nodded: "It depends on the negotiation situation."

In fact, as long as the "Avengers Project" has a precedent, it will be easier to sign long contracts with other actors later.

"I will have the third round of discussions with Susan Levine in the afternoon. Where I should not give in, I will not give in."

Kevin Fitch came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry. In fact, he didn't even stay in Ronan's office for 15 minutes.

Just after sending away Kevin Fitch, Ronan received a call from Brian Lord of CAA. The "Iron Man" crew announced the recruitment of the heroine. CAA wanted to push its new actresses into the group.

Ronan responded with a few words and asked Brian Lord to forward the information of several actresses to the "Iron Man" crew. The specific candidates were still determined by the audition.

Brian Lord moved very fast. In addition to the "Iron Man" crew, he also sent Ronan's mailbox a copy of related actresses and information.

Among them, Ronan saw a familiar name-Winona Ryder.

This Johnny Depp's ex-girlfriend, a bad luck actress, has just signed with CAA recently, and seems to want to borrow CAA's resources and network to reverse her decadent acting career.

Ronan just glanced at it roughly, depending on the audition. Winona Ryder's age is more in line with Pepper's setting, but she may not be willing to dye blonde.

There are many female stars who are very taboo about blondes.

Of course, there are also many actresses who like to dye blonde.

For example, Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron are not born blonde.

Ronan and Charlize Theron didn't have much dealings. He didn't know her original hair color, but knew that she kept dyeing her hair all year round.

But Scarlett Johansson's blonde hair looks natural, but it is fake. Out of considerations such as human design, Scarlett Johansson has been following the "old Hollywood blonde" route since he became an adult.

Ronan is very sure that Scarlett Johansson's hair color is the kind of darker brown.

This is verified in the field.

After all, most people rarely dye some places.

In the afternoon, a female director, screenwriter and producer that Ronan almost forgot to visit.

"Hello, Marianne." Ronan saw the middle-aged female director and remembered the meeting after Oscar. He was not embarrassed and said naturally: "It's been a long time."

Marianne Delio smiled and said, "It has been almost five months since we met."

The relevant situation quickly returned to Ronan’s mind. After the Oscars ceremony this year, Marian-Drio won the Oscar for the best documentary short film with the heart of "Chernobyl". He immediately found it and talked with him. About the idea of ​​making a documentary into a TV series.

Ronan also encouraged a few words at the time, saying that he asked the other party to take out the script before speaking.

The female director disappeared since then, Ronan also forgot completely, did not expect to appear again today.

Compared to the last time, Marian Delio came prepared this time.

Marian-Drio opened the briefcase she carried with him, took out the file bag, put a stack of files on the coffee table in front of Ronan, and said, "Mr. Anderson, it took me four months to complete the first two episodes of the series. Script."

Ronan picked it up, opened the file bag, and looked through it.

Seeing Ronan flipping through the pages very quickly, Marian-Drio was a little uneasy, and said quickly: "In the past few months, I went to Ukraine and met many survivors and witnesses of the incident in Kiev. More first-hand information."

Ronan does not doubt what Marianne Del Rio said, because many Hollywood screenwriters and directors are indeed very dedicated and crazy.

Similar to James Cameron taking a deep-sea submersible to shoot thousands of meters deep into the sea, there are too many in Hollywood.

Marian Derio’s words continue: "I approached Pripyat infinitely, and rented an unmanned aircraft to photograph the Chernobyl nuclear accident site. The ruined Chernobyl is as quiet as in the lens. Ghost town, this also made me more determined to shoot related film and television works!"

Ronan looked up at Marian Del Rio and said, "Madam, your professionalism and professionalism are admirable."

Marianne Delio is full of grief: "If you don't know the first-hand information, you will never know how tragic the accident was. The unprecedented devastating nuclear disaster and the power struggle under the bipolar pattern behind it are enough. recorded in history."

Ronan put away the script and reminded in due course: "Madam, what you are going to shoot is a TV series, not a documentary."

"This is not a documentary, I promise." Marianne Delio quickly pointed to the script and said: "The script will not be completely restored in the accident. When I wrote the script, I added a lot of fictional characters, including the main characters. , I will strive to create a reality beyond the documentary, so that everything seems to have happened. The key lies in the penetration of the perspective and the grasp of the focal person."

Ronan nodded, as he deserves to be a Hollywood director.

Since Marianne Delio dared to come to Ronan again, she must have made sufficient preparations: "Many years have passed since the incident, and there are still many unsolved mysteries and controversies. What caused the accident? What was the process? The harm? How widespread is the spread? Officials once shifted responsibility for the accident to the operators of the nuclear power plant. This statement was later overturned."

Ronan put down the script and simply listened to Marianne Del Rio's statement.

Whether these irrelevant events are true or not only depends on whether they can attract the audience and whether they have the potential to cause a enthusiastic response to public opinion.

Because they are directly linked to future commercial value.

Marianne Delio's confidence gradually increased, and her voice earnestly said: "Mr. Anderson, my project is from this aspect. Faced with such a terrible accident, people who have experienced it have no right to know the truth. This will bring a kind of A creepy look."

Ronan nodded slowly, glanced at the script again, and scanned it roughly. He was very sure that this was a very westernized TV series.

"How many episodes of the series are you planning to shoot?" Ronan knew very well that the series mainly faced Western audiences: "What is the budget?"

Marianne Delio breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Six episodes, only six hundred... No, I can complete it with only five million dollars."

The request is really not too much. For today's Shahai Entertainment, five million US dollars can only be regarded as a small investment in small production.

But Ronan did not readily agree.
