Chapter 870： Decide

The sun has just risen from among the high-rise buildings of Century City, and the Theory of Relativity Building has not yet started a busy day. Two people, Liott-Rice and Paul-Wenike, are waiting in an office under the leadership of the staff of Shahai Entertainment. Doorway.

Paul Winnick walked back and forth uncomfortably, and asked Little Reese sitting on the bench: "Are you sure you received a call from Shahai Entertainment yesterday?"

Liott-Ries pointed to the corridor: "Paul, we are in the relativity building."

"I just can't believe it." Paul Wynnick patted his arm gently: "Relativity Entertainment actually took a fancy to our script."

Little Reese sighed: "It's not Ronan Anderson who fancyed our script."

Paul Wynnick was also a little frustrated, saying: "We left reality shows and entered the film industry to seek development. We started writing scripts last year and completed them at the beginning of this year. The scripts were resold and sold for half a year without being sold. If it turns out, I can only go back to my hometown to inherit the farm."

This seems to hit Litt-Ries: "You still have a huge farm to inherit. If you can't sell the script, I can't even pay the rent."

Before cbs worked as an unsigned screenwriter for more than a year and moved to Hollywood, although he had a certain expectation of the difficulties, the actual difficulties were still beyond imagination.

Putting on their script, not only newcomers and new works, but also funny zombie themes are not popular at all. Those film companies use "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Night of the Living Dead" under Relativity Entertainment as the new century. The standards of zombie films dismissed their scripts.

Over the past six months of experience, Litt-Rice and Paul-Wenike repeatedly lowered their psychological expectations, and the latter even had the idea of ​​giving up.

There was a sound of high heels landing, and someone came over, more than one.

Little Reese and Paul Winnick looked up, stunned for a moment.

Two women came in one after the other. The latter was obviously an assistant or secretary, and the former was the person they wanted to see on this trip.

They did not expect that this woman's appearance conditions were so good.

He has the exquisite face of Jessica Alba and the hot body of Salma Hayek.

Such a look, even in Hollywood, is of top level.

Paul Wynnick whispered that this woman chose the wrong industry! Obviously you can be a star, why be a producer?

Unlike Litt-Ries, he immediately thought of the relevant information that he had checked: Jessica Felton, producer and vice president of Shahai Entertainment, responsible for the production business, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Coffin of Souls" "And the unreleased "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" producer.

This woman is obviously a mixed race, and she looks younger than her real age, just in her twenties.

At the moment when Litt-Reese and Paul-Wenike were stunned, Jessica Felton had already walked over and asked: "Are you Mr. Litt-Rees and Mr. Paul-Wenike?"

These words immediately made Little Rees and Paul Winnick feel different. They did not have the kind of superiority they had when they were in contact with other producers and company executives, and the tone was very polite.

It is said that relativity entertainment values ​​newcomers, as can be seen from the attitude of this mixed-race woman.

Little Reese said quickly: "This is Little Reese. Hello, Miss Felton."

Paul Wynnick quickly picked up his mood and greeted Jessica Felton.

With Jessica Felton's shrewdness, it was quickly judged that the two of them were obviously dominated by Litt Rees.

Inviting two people into the reception room, Jessica Felton asked the assistant to make two cups of coffee, and went directly to the topic: "Two, I read the script of "Zombieland" yesterday and it was very interesting, so I proposed to the company to buy it. Write down your script."

Little-Ries said: "We are also willing to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment."

Jessica Felton smiled and said: "One thing I need to say is that "Zombieland" is a newcomer and new work, and the script transaction price will not be very high..."

"We understand." Little Reese exchanged glances with Paul Winnick: "The price is good, but we have two requirements."

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "Please speak."

Litt-Rice gave himself a lot of energy and said: "After Relativity Entertainment buys the script, it must be made into a movie as soon as possible..."

After too many companies bought scripts, they threw them into the script library, and some of them hadn't seen the sky for more than ten years.

In the case of him and Paul Wynnick, he can't afford to wait.

Jessica Felton could guess the other party's thoughts, but did not speak, but waited for the other party to finish all the requirements at once.

Litt-Ries continued: "After your project is established, Paul and I will serve as screenwriters."

In doing so, it can be guaranteed that in addition to the script transaction costs, the two of them still have compensation.

There is no way, he and Paul Wynnick left the cbs reality show last year, and then there is no stable income, coupled with the previous habit of saving money, they have long been unable to make ends meet.

The two people just discussed that they can’t pay the rent and go home and inherit the farm are no jokes.

Jessica Felton also survived from the rookie. The scene when she was in the rental room to practice skills is vivid, and we can roughly guess the embarrassment of the two newcomers' screenwriters.

It is also in this situation that the demands made by the two newcomer screenwriters are not actually requests.

"Yes." Jessica Felton responded: "This will be reflected in the transaction contract."

Strictly speaking, the request made by these two people is not a condition at all.

She had dinner with Ronan last night and discussed this project during the period. Buying out "Zombieland" is naturally a filming, and taking advantage of the heat caused by "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Land of the Living Dead", as soon as possible Bring to market.

The project will be established soon. After the crew is established, they will also need to write the script along with the crew. Instead of re-hiring staff, it is better to continue to use these two people.

The real conditions faced by Little Rees and Paul Winnick are here, without any excessive demands.

Jessica Felton didn't need to deliberately suppress the price, so he traded on the normal market conditions in Hollywood, and Shahai Entertainment bought out all the copyrights of "Zombieland" from the two people for $23,000.

The talks went well here. After the lawyers of Litt-Rice and Paul-Wenick arrived, there was a record of the relevant industry witnesses, and the two parties signed the copyright transfer agreement on the same day.

On the other side, Ronan also met John Wilson, who was the production manager in "Prison Break 2".

This is a person who has cooperated with Relativity Entertainment for many years. He has grown up along with Relativity Entertainment. Of course, continuing to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment is the first choice.

Moreover, with John Wilson's plan, it is not easy to get the copyright of the remake.

"Hollywood remakes of British dramas are not uncommon."

In the office, John Wilson said to Ronan: "There are also many fires."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I took the time to watch the video tape you sent yesterday. The series was well shot, and the characters and plot settings are also very interesting."

John Wilson said: "If the background of the story is set in the United States, I think it is completely feasible and more convincing. We can also make some changes to become a true portrayal of the low society of the United States. The United States is not full of alcoholics, Is it a low-level community of beggars and criminals?"

Ronan nodded slowly: "It makes sense."

Perhaps the description of "Happy America, shooting every day" is a bit exaggerated, but it can also be said to be a portrayal of the bottom community.

"What do you think about the American adaptation?" Ronan asked.

John Wilson heard the question and was full of energy, and said: "I think so. I moved the background of the story from Manchester to Chicago. Under the background of the economic depression, an ordinary worker’s family was often found sleeping. On the floor of the living room, the head of an alcoholic family, an incompetent mother, their eldest daughter must bear the responsibility of raising five younger siblings.

This is a lively and extraordinary family daily life mixed with stories of love, adventure, fraud, tenderness, etc., with blood and tears, to show the audience the bottom family and life. "

Relativity Entertainment is familiar with John Wilson, who is a reliable person, so Ronan said after hearing this, "What about the audience?"

John Wilson said: "Most Americans should feel this deeply. They believe that life is not easy. A simple survival is very heavy. Sometimes people have to make some choices."

Ronan suddenly thought that this drama was really going to be filmed, maybe it could still play a role in stabilizing society.

Described in dramatic terms, this kind of drama is particularly inspiring. Whenever you encounter injustice and feel bad, you will find that your difficulties are nothing compared to them when you look at the previous episodes. To continue, the sun will rise as usual...

Maybe there will be such a feeling: when I look at it, I feel dark and depressed and even desperate. After reading it, I find that my life is really beautiful.

"Let’s do it Ronan made a decision: "John, you go to the Copyright and Publishing Department to find Robert Lee, and let him send someone to accompany you to the UK to negotiate with the copyright owner of Shameless If you can get the copyright of the remake, you make a detailed plan. "

John Wilson saw the hope of hosting a project alone, and immediately said: "I will go now."

Ronan called Robert Lee in front of him.

Afterwards, John Wilson left Ronan's office and went to talk to Robert Lee about the specific situation, preparing to go to the UK to buy the copyright.

After receiving Ronan's notice, Robert Lee quickly identified the capable personnel and called the British branch to ask them to fully assist.

Connie walked into Ronan's office and put a copy of the script on her desk: "This is the script of "Super Storm" just sent by the people below."
