Chapter 90: Where's the red sofa

This time, the post-editing room rented by Ronan is still located at Warner Studios, the one where Jessica Felton was turned into a garbage dump last time, due to the two projects of "Reaper Is Coming" and "Ace Agent" His crew is also based at Warner Studios, which is conducive to his overall work.
　　 Running three projects at the same time, even if Ronan is only coordinating the overall situation, he is still very busy.
　　 "Miss Heigl, come here."
　　 In the audition room of the office, Ronan called to stop the audition and said to Catherine Heigl: "We will inform you of the audition result tomorrow at the latest."
　　 Catherine Heigl glanced at Ronan. Seeing that Ronan had nothing else to say, she smiled and said, "Okay."
　　Waiting for her to leave the audition room, director James Huang said to Ronan: "This looks good, and the audition effect is the best among all actresses."
　　 Ronan nodded slightly: "I think so too."
　　 Tony Koch, who was watching the audition, just looked at the actor's profile carefully and didn't mean to interrupt.
　　He is a smart man, knowing that he has no say in this matter.
　　 Ronan reached an agreement with James Huang, without hesitation, he said directly: "I will let Andrew and Catherine Heigl's agent contact in the afternoon, as long as the salary is right, she is our first candidate."
　　 "Okay." James Huang knew that Ronan was the one who made the final decision, and asked, "Where is the actor?"
　　 Before the actor audition, the most suitable candidate has not been determined.
　　 Ronan looked through the records in his hand and said, "Let’s choose Devon Sava, the salary is not suitable, then consider other things."
　　 The audition for the main actors of "Reaper Is Coming" has been basically completed, and most of the roles have the first candidates. Taking into account factors such as remuneration, Ronan and James Huang discussed for a while, and then finalized alternate candidates.
　　 Frankly speaking, as long as the appearance and basic acting skills of this kind of film pass, the performance level is high and low, the impact is actually not great.
"James, as for the black actors, it's better to change the role." Ronan looked at an audition record and said: "The black people who were killed by death will be removed and the coroner's identity will be changed to black...well, you The recommended Tony Todd who played "X-Files" is not bad."
　　 Hearing these words, James Huang can understand Ronan's potential meaning. After all, he has also worked in Hollywood for many years and has a certain understanding of black people.
　　 James Huang Ying said: "Okay, I will call Tony Todd."
　　 Ronan didn't say more, the overall operation of the crew was smooth, and he asked Tony to leave the audition room together, and went to Andrew to explain the negotiations with the actors.
　　 This time, similar to the "Human Removal Project", the negotiation does not need to consider the pros and cons of acting, the salary is the first element.
　　 Even if it was Catherine Hegel, who had specifically approached him, Ronan would give up without hesitation without any hesitation.
　　The public production budget of the crew is only 15 million U.S. dollars. If the filming and production can be completed with 15 million U.S. dollars, of course it is the best.
　　 Ronan decided early on that he would lower the salary of his staff to 30% or even 25% of the open budget.
　　 Back to Ronan's office, Tony took a glass of water, took a few sips, and said, "The audition is completely different from what I imagined."
　　 Ronan flipped through the financial statements of "Reaper Is Coming" and "Ace Agent" and asked, "What do you think of an audition?"
　　 "What about the red sofa?" Tony asked curiously, "Don't you take off your clothes when you see the figure of an actress? How can you tell the truth if you don't take off? Didn't it mean that there is a deal?"
　　 Ronan didn't raise his head: "Red sofa? It's all from a few years ago. The transaction hasn't been done in the public. Isn't that asking for trouble?"
　　 Harvey Weinstein, with the worst reputation in the industry, doesn’t mess around in the audition room. He always goes to a hotel or apartment.
　　 Tony lowered his voice and tentatively asked: "Ronan, that...cough, would you choose an actor based on that kind of deal?"
"Haha..." Ronan smiled, and did not shy away: "I am also a normal man. If a beautiful woman takes the initiative to send it to the door, of course I will not refuse. But this circle pays attention to paying back and you get the benefits from the actress. , We must give a corresponding return, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."
　　Think about Harvey Weinstein, there are countless producers in the circle who do this kind of trade, and it is this Jewish fat man who really fell into trouble in the end.
　　Perhaps, there are big guys behind the scenes who are doing him, but it is undeniable that Harvey-Weinstein is too ugly in paying and rewarding.
　　Think about the future "me.Too", there are some things that can't be done arbitrarily.
　　 Tony shook his head straight: "You are too conservative."
　　 Ronan also shook his head: "Let’s just talk about the "Reaper Is Coming" project. Serious mistakes in the selection of actors may result in a loss of the film. Which actress do you think is worth 15 million US dollars?"
　　 "I see." Tony nodded slowly: "Even if the whole body is made of diamonds, it is not worth 15 million dollars a night."
　　 Ronan was speechless for a moment, made of diamonds? That really needs diamond drill...
　　 Tony looked curiosity: "What should I do if I see a beautiful actress?"
　　 "Go chase her? Chase women, right?" Ronan gave a standard answer: "Young, handsome, and gold-minded brothers like you are a favorite partner of many female stars."
　　 "Formal relationship?" Tony was a little bit suspicious.
　　 Ronan shrugged:
Be together if you like it, break up if you don’t feel it, Hollywood-style love, don’t think too much.

　　 Let alone Hollywood, isn’t it the norm in society?
　　 Maybe some places in central America are conservative, but the theme of big cities has always been open.
　　Don't talk about the West. Even on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the past few years, the separation of men and women in big cities will become the norm.
　　 In his previous life, Ronan also had four or five formal girlfriends. Apart from his first love, the others basically feel that they come and go quickly.
　　 As for marriage, I have never considered it.
　　 This is also affected by some conditions around the past life.
　　 There is a real case of a colleague, which made Ronan frightened at that time.
　　 The colleague’s wife comes from a relatively poor place. There are five siblings in the family...well, four elder sisters and one younger brother. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
　　 When we got married, there was nothing to say about the garage, it was the standard equipment for the man, and the woman also asked for "a lot of red and green" as a gift. The 200,000 gift did not come back with the woman...
　　 If it's just like this, then forget it, after all, it's the kindness of nurturing.
　　 As a result, it’s trouble after marriage. Colleagues work well in big cities. The woman’s younger brother goes to school, living expenses, looking for work, buying a car and buying a house, and so on.
　　 When the younger brother got married, he directly asked his colleagues to pay 300,000.
　　 The family of this colleague was basically in a state of war after marriage, and it inevitably ended in divorce...
A week later, Tony left Los Angeles and returned to Germany. The Koch Film Company still had a lot of things waiting for him to do. In addition to Helen-Koren’s personal relationship, he wanted to gather large sums of money, even with the temptation of tax exemption. It is not easy.
　　 Before leaving, Ronan talked to him for an afternoon. If all goes well, Shahai Entertainment's next project will require more than US$50 million in funding.
　　 After sending Tony Koch away, Ronan was caught in a busy job. Anyone in the entrepreneurial stage must be extremely busy.
　　 Appropriate decentralization is okay, but you can't stay outside of work. The temptation of money and power is too great, and there are too many company bosses in the world who have been quietly evaded by management.
　　 Shahai Entertainment has been running smoothly. The Embassy Pictures is busy making a publicity plan. The theory of relativity belongs to the holding shell. The three companies have not had much trouble for the time being.
　　 As for the crew, following the "Death Is Coming", "Ace Agent" has also finalized the candidates for the main actors, and the preparations for the two crews are progressing steadily.
　　 George specifically found Ronan at this time: "I found out where the film and television copyright of "The Identity of Byrne" is."
