Chapter 22: Paranoia meets the head

Hollywood directors, not every one of them will focus on making films without asking him anything. When encountering a director of the kind mother, like the "Human Removal Project" crew, Ronan can be annoying, which is why he interviewed so many people. , A reason for the delay in making a decision.
　　 Sign the agreement first and hold on to James Huang’s project. Even if James Huang sees something, he will ignore it.
　　 Besides, this project is really promising.
　　 Because Ronan has seen all the works in this series in his previous life, from "The God of Death is Coming 1" to "The God of Death is Coming 5."
　　 James Huang is the director of the first part of this series, and Glenn Morgan, as he said, should be the main screenwriter.
　　 "You and your friends share the copyright, right?" Ronan further said, "Can you represent his opinion?"
　　 James-Huang said with certainty: "Yes! Bringing this story to the big screen is my and Glenn’s biggest wish."
　　 Ronan reminded: "Your agent's side..."
　　Although the agents are very sleek and will not easily confront others, all the things discussed before, if the agent strongly opposes them, there may be twists and turns.
　　 "I will persuade Edward." James Wong answered immediately, "The copyright holders are me and Glenn."
　　 I finally met someone who was willing to invest and would let him be the director. It was a rare opportunity.
　　 Give up now just for a better future.
　　 Ronan's performance was very calm and even a little embarrassed. It seemed that he promised to invest in James Wong's project.
　　 He shook hands with James Huang: "I hope we can reach a formal agreement." He deliberately diverted James Huang's attention: "The Human Clearance Project urgently needs a director."
　　 James-Huang shook Ronan's hand firmly: "There must be an agreement."
　　 If it weren’t for seeing that Shahai Entertainment is in urgent need of a director, and I am very fond of myself, how could such an additional request be made?
　　 Ronan doesn't worry much about his agent. James Wong's idea of ​​directing his script is too strong, even tied to himself, if someone stops him, he will only be kicked aside.
　　 Shahai Entertainment also does not mind negotiating with non-brokers.
　　 There is an agreement between the Hollywood trade union and the broker union, and the members registered in the union must negotiate with the broker to get a job.
　　 Of course, regulations are one thing, reality is another.
　　According to the "Entertainment Act", brokers must pass the assessment and hold a certificate to work, but there is a group called managers that is rapidly emerging. Without a legal license, they can negotiate and obtain jobs for customers.
He has roughly understood that it is the first time Edward has signed a contract with James Huang. The legally stipulated effective signing period is one year. Hollywood's contract termination brokers do not have much liquidated damages, and there is no such thing as a brokerage company or a broker's anti-client banning of clients. .
　　Because of the law, the broker can only sign a contract with the client for up to three years, and cannot provide the client with full work options for three consecutive months. The client has the right to terminate the contract automatically.
　　 This is the opposite of the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
　　 Brokers are always service providers, and the cost of customers getting rid of the broker is relatively small.
　　 Ronan sent James Huang out of the office, accompanied him and Edward out together. Before reaching the door of the company, an Arab in a suit walked in.
　　 "Hi, Ronan." The Arab waved to Ronan.
　　 Ronan responded with a smile: "Good morning, Saleh."
　　The person who came in was Saleh Zayed, the leader of the road.
　　 James Huang saw the typical Arab face and couldn't help nodding slightly. With the support of the rich Middle Eastern oil tycoons, Shahai Entertainment’s funds must be fine.
　　 "Salih, introduce some friends to you."
　　 Waiting for Saleh to come over, Ronan introduced: "This is James Huang, and he is basically sure to be the director of our "Human Removal Project"."
　　 Hearing our "Human Removal Project", Saleh was in a good mood and quickly shook hands with James Huang.
　　 Ronan continued to introduce: "This is Mr. Edward, Director Huang’s manager."
　　 Then, he specifically introduced James Huang and Edward: "This is Prince Saleh Zayed from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi."
　　 After James Wong and Edward greeted them, they looked at each other. This Ronan Anderson was not easy.
　　 The support of an oil prince means that funding is not a problem at all.
　　 After a few simple greetings, James Wong and Edward left soon.
　　 Ronan took Saleh into the office.
　　 "The preparations went well?" Saleh asked concerned: "The director is determined."
　　 Ronan took a brand new cup, poured him a glass of water, and said, "It's just a verbal agreement, and there will be negotiations later."
　　 "Preparing the movie is more complicated than I thought." Saleh sighed.
　　 "This is just the beginning." Ronan told the truth, "Robert is investigating the shooting location, equipment rental and cast auditions have not yet started... When the director is in place, these work will speed up."
　　 Saleh nodded: "Professional people do professional things, and I benefit a lot." He turned to ask, "Is that director Huang also a minority?"
"Chinese." Ronan flickered at the right time: "I thought about it carefully. It is not appropriate to find a white director for such a film. A minority director is the best choice. He is more able to understand the situation of the role and shoot what we need. Content."
　　 Saleh admired the thumbs up: "Ronan, you are so right! There are too few people in Hollywood with your level of thinking."
　　 Ronan smiled, in a standard white left tone: "Every ethnicity, every group, is equal."
　　 "Yeah." Saleh nodded again and again: "I said, let professional people do professional things, but there are some idiots in Abu Dhabi who want to interfere in the projects invested by the Investment Authority."
　　 Ronan's eyes trembled imperceptibly, and said, "I can't accept non-film professionals."
　　 The last time he went to Abu Dhabi, he learned that the Abu Dhabi screening industry is quite mature, but the film production industry is still in a state of getting started.
　　 Saleh has been in close contact with Ronan, and immediately said: "I will be transferred back to Abu Dhabi next week. I will suppress the voices of those idiots."
　　 Ronan let go and put so much energy on Saleh, it really wasn't in vain.
　　 "Promoted?" He said, "Congratulations!"
　　 Saleh laughed, in a very good mood, and said sincerely: "Actually, I came here to say thank you. Without your trip to Abu Dhabi, I would not be promoted so quickly."
　　 Ronan is still a humble and nice person: "Don't say that. Saleh, you helped me."
　　 Saleh understood in his heart that it is really rare for a person like Ronan to work hard.
　　 Ronan looked at the time: "I will treat you at noon and see you off."
　　 Saleh nodded: "Yes." It may not be when we meet next time, and he said again: "I really want to see the "Human Removal Project" sooner."
　　 Ronan smiled and replied: "When the movie is made, I will send you a copy first."
　　 "Good!" Saleh was very happy: "That's it."
　　 He said again: "Ronan, if you need my help, you can call or come to Abu Dhabi to find me."
　　 Ronan is like an old friend, and he is not polite with Saleh: "I will."
Saleh took a sip of water and said, "Especially when you need film financing, don't forget me, this is also my grade~EbookFREE.me~ Ronan walked over and patted Saleh's arm: "Forget anyone, I can't forget you. "
　　…………
　　 On the 13th Street where Shahai Entertainment is located, a car has just pulled out of the parking lot.
　　 "Ronan Anderson agreed to invest in your script?" Edward speeded up: "Aren't you kidding me?"
　　James Huang nodded: "It's true."
　　 Edward couldn't help muttering, "Is this man's head faulty?"
　　 James-Huang glanced at him, and Edward shut his mouth immediately. This result was unexpected.
　　 Originally, he won the director of "Scream" for James Huang. Who knew that this guy came up with a bundling plan, and the duck that got it flew.
　　 After finally catching the Ronan-Anderson line, James Huang played binding again.
　　 If it were not for the one-year brokerage contract that was about to expire, apart from James Wong and Glenn Morgan, there were no customers under the weather and would not bear anything.
　　 It's alright now, and the paranoid has been taken advantage of.
　　 Can that project succeed? He has also read the script. The core concept is the Oriental set. Can the horror of the Eastern style become a big hit among American audiences?
　　 It is estimated that Ronan Anderson is crazy for not being able to find a suitable director.
　　 After all, he is a famous prodigal in the circle.
　　 Edward suddenly remembered that Arab, Ronan Anderson has oil funding? Probably not too serious about Arab money.
　　 Unreliable scripts, plus some paranoid directors, plus a lot of investors, that project will be miserable, right?
　　 Forget it, there is no need to think so far, so that James Wong and Glenn Morgan continue to sign and get a large amount of rake income.
