The night was deep, and an apartment in North Hollywood was brightly lit. Ronan was sitting in front of the laptop, his ten fingers tapping the keyboard.
"In 2029, the United States will be prosperous, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, the crime rate will continue to fall, and freedom and democracy will reach unprecedented peaks."
"However, all these are just beautiful soap bubbles."
Ronan tapped the background setting of the script.
"In order to maintain this beautiful state, the U.S. government has launched a program called ‘cleanup’ to let people vent their negative emotions."
"The specific implementation method of this plan is: from 7 pm on March 21, 2029 to 7 am on March 22, 2029, during these 12 hours, all crimes, including murder, are legal During these 12 hours, emergency fire, ambulance, and firefighting services will also be closed. Therefore, all human activities in these 12 hours can only rely on themselves."
According to Hollywood standards, movies that are inappropriate for the old American government are definitely not good movies.
This kind of superficial prosperity and dirty routines behind it can also be regarded as a true portrayal of the lighthouse country.
The most important thing is that this is in line with the appetite of those who do not like old beauty.
such as Arabs.
Although some countries in the Arab world are very close to the old beauty, the Arabs generally dislike the old beauty. After all, the old beauty is the godfather of the enemy.
To put it bluntly, I chose this horror film for financing.
For the sake of money, Ronan has absolutely no psychological burden for the black old beauty, but he will control the degree.
The old American government has always been one of the main villains of Hollywood movies. Ronan has read many research articles in this area. The old American audience also likes to see the movie hacking his own government.
This kind of mentality is actually universal. The domestic film is blacked out by the local government, and the audience loves it.
The horror film he wrote has basically the same setting and theme plot as the previous "Human Removal Project", but in order to raise money from Arabs, there must be an important role for Arabs or Arabs.
A family of four as the protagonist? Ronan stopped thinking, which was obviously inappropriate.
Although this project is mainly used to defraud money...no, it is for financing, but he also wants to try to produce it. If four Arabs are the protagonists, let alone enter the theater, it is estimated that the publishing company will not touch it.
It’s not twenty years later, when a minority transgender person plus a supporter of gay, bisexual and feminist movements can walk sideways in the entertainment industry.
And it's too fake to let the Arabs be the protagonists.
In case you meet someone who knows a little bit about Hollywood, look at the four Arabs as the protagonists, and the diorama will immediately wear it.
Even though the main purpose of this project is financing, the initial operation has to go in a real direction.
Ronan soon had an idea, how about letting an Arab character appear as a savior?
The neighbors of this family are Arabs, and the male host is not very friendly to the neighbors. When the killing night was about to end, the Arab neighbors saved the Yankees.
Arabia saves old beauty.
Ronan determined the basic settings of the Arab character, which will be developed in the script writing.
In his previous life, he worked as a producer on some small projects, and he is no stranger to script writing, and little Anderson has outstanding abilities in this area, and what he lacks most is experience.
In the beginning, Ronan wrote very slowly. After finishing the outline and setting up the skeleton, adding things to the template is much faster.
This film has very few characters and limited scenes. It is a relatively simple type of script writing.
However, he only slept for six hours a day, and it took him a week to write the first draft of only 80 pages.
The first draft was a bit rough. Ronan did not plan to do more detailed processing after a simple revision.
Time does not allow him to drag on.
The most recent bank loan expires immediately and cannot be repaid on time. It will face huge troubles. Judith of the bank calls every week, which is annoying.
Maybe the bank will draw capital in advance, which is even more troublesome.
Although Xinxian Pictures, the publisher of "Jedi Bingsheng", did not urge the copyright share, it could not delay it for too long.
The Nasdaq stock market is still going up.
A sum of money must be obtained as soon as possible.
A new week has arrived. Ronan and Blockbuster signed a copyright transfer agreement, received $150,000, and convened a staff meeting again in the office.
"Say good news first."
Ronan first calmed people's hearts, "Maybe you also know that the transfer fee of 150,000 US dollars for "Jedi Fengsheng" arrived this morning. Before the bank loan expires, there will be no problem with salary."
Hearing this, George Clint said immediately: "We will tide over the difficulties together, and we will definitely get through it!"
Mary and Robert Lee did not speak, but they were much more relaxed.
When they reach their age, salary means too much, such as repaying loans, raising a family, and so on.
Singles with chicken blood and chicken soup are basically useless for people of this age.
Ronan turned to the topic and asked: "George, have you contacted friends in the media industry?"
"Contacted." George’s face was full of pleats. "I met more than a dozen friends this week, including three entertainment reporters from "Variety", "Los Angeles Times" and "Hollywood Reporter," as long as we can afford it. Page fee, most people are willing to help us publish relevant news, but the page..."
"The layout doesn't matter, the third or even the fourth edition is acceptable." Ronan wanted media coverage of the new project.
"Los Angeles Times" is one of the three major newspapers in the United States. "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" are the two major newspapers in the entertainment industry. It is difficult for ordinary small movie projects to buy pages even if they spend money.
Ronan pondered slightly, and then said to George: "Keep in touch with them, especially "Variety", "Los Angeles Times" and "Hollywood Reporter." I will hold a press conference for the new project soon."
"The new project..." George was about to ask, Ronan raised his hand to interrupt, "I'll talk about the new project later."
He looked at Robert Lee: "Have you contacted the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?"
Robert Lee put a bag of papers on Ronan’s desk and said,
My friend had contact with a director of the office. He was mainly responsible for investigating the feasibility of investment in the cultural and entertainment industry... Well, how do you say it? He had a very bad impression of Hollywood and hated it a bit, saying that Hollywood was an accomplice of the Jewish people in smearing the Arab world.
"Inspect the cultural and entertainment industry?" Ronan caught the point.
"Well, including the movie." Robert said, "However, that person did not go well. You know, Arabs are never seen in the circle."
Ronan nodded slightly. This situation is not surprising. It is too exaggerated to say that Hollywood is controlled by Jews, but the influence of Jewish power on Hollywood is indeed great.
The image of Arabs in Hollywood movies can be imagined.
For example, "True Lies" filmed by James Cameron, which once triggered collective protests in the Arab world, and almost no Arab countries imported this film.
But what about Hollywood and the American media? No one cares, how dark or how dark.
Of course, the Arabs have a bit more black material.
Ronan quickly looked at the information on Abu Dhabi collected by Robert Lee through various channels. The UAE is relatively open compared to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia prohibits public screening of movies. Ordinary Saudis want to watch movies in theaters, but they are flying. To the UAE.
This ensures that the UAE people have a certain knowledge of movies.
But limited to the distance and the degree of information dissemination, the Emirati are relatively familiar with Hollywood movies, but very strange to the operation of Hollywood.
Not only the UAE, Hollywood in the 1990s covered most countries with a veil.
Ronan put down the information and said, "Robert, can your friend make an appointment with the person in charge?"
Robert Lee thought for a while and said, "He said that that person will attend the Twentieth Century Fox Appreciation Party this weekend."
"Is the invitation easy to handle?" Ronan asked.
"Leave it to me," Robert said.
Ronan took out three copies of the script titled "Human Removal Project", pushed it to the front of the desk, and said, "This is the script of the new project, you all have a look."
waited for the three of them to pick up the script. He grabbed his messy hair and said: "Our next job is to build momentum for this new project. I will file with the Producers League according to the formal procedures. Mary..."
Ronan looked at the middle-aged woman: "Next week, there will be a press conference. You will contact the venue and put it at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. George, you are responsible for contacting the media reporters. I will prepare public relations fees and a batch of gifts for you. Regardless of the major newspapers and tabloids, even if you spend money to hire paparazzi, you must ensure that fifty reporters are present!"
It is easy to do things with money and gifts, George Clint immediately said: "No problem. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
Ronan said to Robert again: "On behalf of Shahai Entertainment, you have sent invitations to Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, poke tabloid reporters, and try to catch the heat of "Titanic"."
George Clint shook the script and suggested: "Send some invitations to stars who may appear in horror movies. This will make it easier to have topical hype."
Ronan agreed, thinking about it and said, "Send invitations to Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, Johnny Depp, and George Clooney."
"Their agent won't pay any attention at all." Robert Lee is also an old man in the movie circle: "I don't even bother to refuse."
Ronan squeezed his chin: "It's better to ignore it. Robert, remember to send out an official invitation."
Robert replied, "I see." He closed the script and said, "Is this script suitable? The setting is really interesting, but the Arabs..."
Mary and George had similar thoughts and looked at Ronan at the same time.
The script was questioned, instead of rushing to say that it was wonderful, Ronan didn't care, and said directly: "Don't forget, we are going to raise money from the Arabs. When we get the money..."
Robert immediately understood: "As long as the investment is made, how to change the script, we have the final say."
"Hurry up and do it." Ronan shouted to Mary, "You hire a small team and let them make posters and shots based on the script, and make them as beautiful and beautiful as possible."
Mary nodded: "I'll get in touch now."
Ronan pointed at the messy hair: "Help recommend a stylist."
The age of twenty is too convincing, and young Anderson has made himself too haggard. He must make himself look like a successful and mature producer.
