Chapter 449: Hit the big luck

"Why look at me like this?" Lindsay Bill greeted Ronan and sat across from him.
Ronan pointed to her clothes: "You rarely dressed like this before."
Lindsay Bill looked down at the hip skirt and said: "I just attended the last party and ran out halfway, so I don't have to go anymore."
Ronan understood what she meant and said, "Thank you."
Lindsay Bill is a relatively introverted and reserved person. Maybe it was too hard during this time. She rarely boasted: "In order to write this script, I really worked hard."
Ronan nodded seriously: "I can see it." He took Lindsay Bill a glass of water: "Drink some water first."
"Thank you." Lindsay Bill said after drinking three sips of water in a row: "I can't help but wonder if I have a mental illness or am I crazy!"
Ronan comforted: "You can see that you are under a lot of pressure."
Lindsay Bill nodded and said: "After returning from New York, I contacted the agent Kate gave me, but she didn't respond at all. I had no choice but to pretend to be a woman who wanted to make a profit in that area. , Only then contacted her."
Ronan did not speak any more, but patiently listened to Lindsay Bill.
Lindsay Bill was as concise as possible: "I pretended to be that kind of woman and met with that agent. Maybe I was born with good conditions. She took me to a high-end party and wanted to attract me with the luxury life of those drunk fans. , Control me, my gold worshiper has gained some trust from her, and she has something out of her mouth."
She drank again and continued: "Later, she started to introduce customers to me, doing high-end business with a little bit of two-way choice, and some men with only a little bit of capital are kneeling and licking, giving the woman the advantage of raising prices. I met a few so-called clients, got some words from them, and then ran away with excuses."
Ronan asked, "Lost trust?"
"Yeah." Lindsay Bill nodded slightly: "The agent no longer trusts me. I broke up with her at a party today, and then ran back."
Ronan knew that she had done a lot on this project, even far more than one screenwriter, and said again: "Thank you, Lindsay."
Lindsay Bill smiled and said: "I also want to have authentic material for the script. I can't close my eyes. I just write silly regardless of the basic facts?"
Ronan thought for a while and said, "We have collected enough information. Don't do this dangerous thing anymore."
"Don't do it." Lindsay Bill seemed to be a little afraid: "Twice, fortunately I was clever, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"The next stage is to write the script." Ronan pays attention to paying back: "Linsai, you are the only screenwriter of this project. In the future, you will be the second producer of the film."
Lindsay Bill's exhaustion disappeared instantly, and his face was full of surprises: "Ronan, is this true?"
Ronan smiled and said, "How can I be joking about this kind of thing."
Lindsay Bill immediately said: "Tomorrow, I will take a day off, and the day after tomorrow, I will formally begin to integrate data and write scripts."
Which boss doesn't like such a proactive employee? Ronan said, "Don't worry, take two more days off."
Lindsay Bill stood up: "I'm going home first."
Ronan nodded, "Go back and rest."
Before leaving, Lindsay Bill asked curiously: "Who do you want to be the director of this project?"
Ronan said: "Sophia Coppola is a personal choice, after all, this is a female subject." He warned: "This is just our unilateral intention, confidential."
"I understand." Lindsay Bill said goodbye and left.
Ronan has not contacted Sofia Coppola on this project, and Sofia Coppola may not be willing to direct such a project.
Of course, there are more director candidates, and David Fincher is also good. The film he directed has a deep dark wind, but it complements this theme.
But David Fincher's dark style is often too heavy and leaves no hope for people, which is not good for the film to hit the Oscars.
With so much time and energy devoted, Ronan certainly wants the film to gain both fame and fortune.
It is best to hold a heavyweight Oscar trophy back.
Ronan thought of another name, Steven Soderbergh.
I remember I once watched an experimental film about this industry by Steven Soderbergh, and I invited a female artist from the San Fernando Valley to play the leading role. Unfortunately, the author’s style is too strong for people to watch. If I don’t go on, I have forgotten what I said in detail.
As long as you don’t make author movies, Steven Soderbergh is also a good director.
Waiting for Lindsay Bill to finish the script will allow people to have initial contact with the three directors.
Ronan temporarily put the matter aside, took one from the stack of scripts next to him, and read it seriously.
Because there are occasional other jobs, Ronan went through five scripts intermittently throughout the afternoon, and then made relevant annotations.
Even though I only browsed through ten lines at a glance, it can be judged that these scripts are basically worthless.
The basis for judgment is not only the unfamiliarity of the storyline, but also the confusion of the script structure and the lack of basic logic.
Like the latter's judgment, it comes from Ronan's ability to train through film studies over the past few years.
In fact, looking for items in the delivery script is similar to hitting the big luck.
A veteran producer once said: "Of the thousands of scripts I have read, most of them don't have even the slightest value."
The script is the foundation of a movie. Its development is a long and complicated process. From the initial idea of ​​a story, it needs to go through complicated writing, market evaluation and revision processes before it finally enters the shooting stage.
When a newcomer makes his first movie, many people tell him: you need to find a good script.
Don't believe them, because a good script is not enough.
These scripts directly rejected by Ronan are obviously the works of novices, and novice screenwriters often want to tell a very complicated story from a new perspective and a unique standpoint.
But it is too difficult for novices.
Even if the Wachowski brothers (sisters) and younger brothers (sisters) who started the game at the peak, they only appeared after having practiced their hands.
In fact, for new birds in the screenwriting industry, if they want to write a good script and get the green light of the film company, it is best for the story to be simple and in line with Hollywood routines. Complex and fresh scripts are less likely to be adopted.
Novice scripts are best to resemble men and women in heat, that is, the actions are clear and straight to the subject.
Such a script can also be operated as a rookie, and can reduce the chance of errors due to lack of experience.
Then the script was delivered and handed to luck.
Ronan judged that the script for unfamiliar content is actually not complicated.
He mainly looks at several factors: a main character; a target that the audience cares about; the main character needs to take a big enough risk; in danger, the main character needs to experience at least one, preferably three obstacles.
Since he hadn't read all the scripts, Ronan took it home after get off work and planned to work overtime at night.
Back at the manor, give the script to the housekeeper Nikia and let her go to the study.
Only Ronan and the housekeeper Nikia can enter work-related places in the manor, such as the study and private meeting rooms.
Nikia has also proved that she is an excellent and dedicated housekeeper in the past two years.
After having dinner carefully prepared by the private chef, Ronan went out for a walk, but did not go upstairs immediately after returning. The housekeeper Nikia summed up the manor’s expenses in March and handed it over to him.
From garden management to tree pruning and pest control to daily maintenance of basic facilities, plus various personnel, vehicles and other expenses, as well as the expenses of Ronan's treats and parties, the future World Manor will spend a total of 550,000 US dollars in March.
In general, Ronan’s expenses are not high. According to the news circulating in the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is said that Johnny Depp spends one million dollars a month is the norm.
Seeing Ronan signing the receipt, the housekeeper Nikia reminded: "The tax season is coming soon. According to the latest property value measurement, the estate needs to pay $740,000 in property tax."
Ronan nodded: "I see~EbookFREE.me~ You will contact Connie tomorrow and let her assist you in handling it."
No one can provoke the tax bureau. There is no legal requirement to buy real estate here, but the annual property tax is an expense that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, the property tax is not fixed, and rises with the rise in housing prices.
It can only be said that it is indeed a country that started to resist taxes.
Fortunately, California's property tax is not high, and the old western residential areas like Beverly Hills have a tax rate of only 1.1%.
Ronan explained some of the daily necessities that Nikia needed to buy recently, and then went to the study room upstairs and continued to browse the scripts that he hadn't read in the afternoon.
After watching seven or eight scripts in a row, Ronan was quite disappointed.
This way of finding projects should be divided into a few days or even a week, taking time to complete, and doing it as a job transfer, not as it is now.
To be honest, those who deliver the script are hitting the luck, and he who chooses the script is also hitting the luck.
The former is that luck must be good enough for the script to be selected by the film company to establish a project,
Ronan has to be lucky to find out the content that has related memories from a bunch of scripts submitted by newcomers or unknown screenwriters, even if it is not a bad film...
Just like the film made by Uvi Bauer, the film will be so bad that it will leave a deeper impression.
Since supper, he has been watching close to eleven o'clock and when there are three scripts left, Ronan drank a glass of water and planned to finish it tonight.
Perhaps it was the explosion of luck, or perhaps it was a screenwriter who had the ability but not enough qualifications to run into luck with the script. When Ronan saw the third from last, he discovered a familiar plot and content.
A comedy story about a wedding.
