Chapter 77: Background

　　 In the coffee shop, looking at the female editor with long legs, and exquisite faces, Ronan once again suspected that Jessica Felton was another person.
　　 The Latin the opposite side, light-colored sweater, slim jeans, plus boots, give people a clean and fashionable feeling.
　　 Luo Nan picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "Jesse, long time no see. You are more beautiful, and it makes me wonder, which one is you?"
Perhaps it was the innate advantage brought by the mixed race. Jessica Felton's wheatish skin was much more delicate than the average white woman. She understood Ronan's words, touched her face, and said, "Both are me. People have two sides, it's normal."
　　 She asked Ronan, "It is said that single men’s homes are also messy."
　　 Ronan shrugged: "Do not include me."
　　 Jessica Felton was a little surprised: "Aren't you single?"
　　 "Single." Ronan explained, "But I like a clean and tidy environment."
　　 Jessica Felton smiled suddenly: "So, working with you makes me feel at ease, there are not so many messy things."
Ronan immediately remembered the greasy feeling when the two met for the first time. He rubbed his fingers unconsciously, and said in a joke: "Don't worry, no one in my crew will do anything outside of work. Things bother you."
　　 Anyone who has ideas will probably shy away from seeing Jessica Felton at work.
　　 Jessica Felton pinned a strand of her long hair behind her ears, as if she didn’t care about everything outside of work: "So, have a new job?"
　　 Ronan smiled and said, "I will fulfill our agreement."
　　 The last time Jessica Felton was hired, he verbally accepted Jessica Felton as the editor of "Death is Coming."
　　 ""Reaper is here"?" Of course Jessica Felton did not forget.
　　 Ronan nodded and asked, "Do you have an agent?"
　　 Jessica Felton shook her head: "Agent? No, those guys will only interrupt my normal work."
　　 "Okay." Ronan was not verbose, and said, "I'll talk to you about the contract, how much salary do you want?"
Jessica Felton said casually: "Just a little more than last time. I don’t have any money. I want to buy the latest clipper. It is said that a new digital editing software has been released recently. I am going to buy a computer and related The software is very expensive to do technical research."
　　 This woman’s salary is spent on learning and buying new equipment.
　　 Ronan thought for a while and said, "The weekly salary is 4,000 US dollars, and the working time may be about ten weeks."
　　 "Okay." Jessica Felton laughed, maybe he was in a good mood, laughed too happily, breathing was a bit short, the huge mountain shook, shaking and dazzling. She added: "But I have one condition."
　　 Ronan wanted to get crooked and said directly: "I will provide you with a full-time nanny."
　　 Not for other considerations, but also for your own eyes and nose.
　　 Jessica Felton shook her head slowly: "It's not this, my condition is that your next film will give priority to me."
　　 Ronan didn’t answer immediately, but just looked at Jessica Felton. Jessica Felton explained:
I’m in an ascendant period and I need to get started with real movies.

　　 Ronan responded, "No problem."
　　The technology is outstanding, the price is not high, and it comes with its own bedding. Such an editor is hard to find.
　　 In fact, what Jessica Felton needs most is an excellent agent. The agent can bring her more job opportunities, but Ronan didn't want to remind him, that is asking for trouble.
　　 Jessica Felton took out his phone to check the time, and took the initiative to say goodbye: "I'm leaving for nothing else."
　　 Ronan casually said: "It's almost noon. May I invite you to lunch?"
　　 "No." Jessica Felton refused without hesitation: "I am very short of time, and there is still a practice film that has not been cut."
　　 Ronan stopped talking nonsense: "I will call you when I sign the contract."
　　 Jessica Felton left, Ronan found a place to have lunch, and then returned to Shahai Entertainment.
　　 With the start of the two projects "Death Is Coming" and "Ace Agent", Shahai Entertainment conducted another recruitment and the company had more than 15 employees.
　　The main job of these people is to serve two movie projects.
　　The salary of the newly added employees did not bring much pressure. Just like last time, as long as there is a movie project in operation, the salary of the employees will be paid from the crew.
　　 This kind of movie project without third-party guarantee and investment supervision, people who do not use it to the extreme must be commercial idiots.
　　 Ronan also knew that if he continued to succeed, it would be difficult to have such barbaric growth opportunities.
　　 Back to the office, he opened the mailbox to check the mail, and then called Mary in.
　　 "The budget of "Ace Agent" was cut to 10 million U.S. dollars." Ronan has been thinking about it for a long time: "The money saved is reserved for the reserve fund of the theory of relativity."
He glanced through the glass at the slightly crowded office space outside, and said: "The company will have to increase its staff in the future. It is too crowded. You can ask people to find it. Does Burbank rent out a small office building on the third floor? Enough left and right."
　　Mary nodded: "I will do it now." She reminded: "Ronan, you need an assistant."
　　 Ronan understood: "You post a recruitment announcement."
　　 Waiting for Mary to leave, Ronan opened the copy he got from Professor Johnson and looked at it. This part of the content mainly talks about the packaging service of the brokerage company.
　　 There are many successful and failed cases of packaging services.
　　 After watching for a while, he closed the bound photocopy, frowned slightly, and thought of "Ace Agent".
　　 Compared to the well-prepared "Reaper Is Coming", although "Ace Agent" was formally established in order to earn tax rebates, the preparations have actually not made any progress.
　　 Except for the script, the plan and the materials prepared for the tax refund, this project has nothing.
　　 This is a movie that is destined to lose money in North America. Ronan contacted several directors and agents, but the results were not ideal.
　　 Maybe it can be packaged and produced by a brokerage company?
　　 Is there a brokerage company willing to take over this hot potato?
This film must be filmed, and the main line of Arab agents saving the world cannot be changed. Only after in-depth contact did I realize that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is a behemoth. Some things can be done in secret, but the other party pays real money. If you don’t want to cause too much trouble in the future, how to make the promised movie~EbookFREE.me~The quality of production is another question.
　　 Ronan considered for a while and decided to let George release some news first to see if there is a brokerage company willing to wade into the muddy water.
　　 called George and processed a few more documents. Ronan saw an industry news on the Internet.
　　 Lionsgate Films acquired the copyright of more than 40 films in the former Embassy Films library for a total price of 5 million US dollars.
　　 "Sure enough, it is easier for bankers to raise funds."
　　 Ronan shook his head secretly: "Lionsgate is very ambitious and is eager to expand the company's heritage."
　　 What is the biggest heritage of the film company? It is never a new film, but a huge source of film in the library.
　　 Any one of the six major companies, just those old movies in the library, can earn tens of millions of dollars in net profits every year, like the dozens of cartoons in Disney’s hands, they are priceless.
　　How much profit can those animation derivatives create every year?
　　 Ronan is trapped by funds, otherwise he would not easily let go of the film library of Embassy Pictures.
　　 For him, the distribution channel in front of him is more important than the long-term slow profitable film library.
　　I encountered a company that is willing to sell and has relatively complete distribution channels. The opportunity is too rare. If you miss this one, you may not find a suitable one in the next four or five years.
　　 The profitability of the issuing company is very strong.
　　 With a distribution company, he can go to the Saint Denis Film Festival after a while.
　　 I remember that a film was shot very early, and it seemed to be a copyright transaction completed at the Saint Denis Film Festival.
　　 There is no issuing company under his hand, and it is useless even if it is taken at the risk of infringement.
　　 With the issuing company, it is completely different.
