The Best Entertainment Era

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

There were only two people left in the office.

Ronan looked at James Huang curiously, wondering what this guy was going to do.

Not satisfied with the paycheck? If you want to increase the salary, you must negotiate through the agent, right? $300,000 is already the highest price he can offer, or because James Huang has participated in the X-Files resume.

The real budget of the Human Removal Project is only $1.8 million, which includes various expenses of Sand Sea Entertainment and himself.

Is there anything we need to talk about alone? Ronan was straightforward.

Can't James Huang have any thoughts on his handsome guy? If you want to engage in unspoken rules, it is also the producer’s unspoken rules for others. Where is the unspoken producer’s turn?

Probably from the East, but James Huang's answer was a little roundabout.

Mr. Anderson, I'm very interested in your project. He said, Horror and thriller are actually the type I'm best at. I don't know if you have seen the TV series I directed. The best thing is the rendering of the horror and thriller atmosphere.

Ronan nodded lightly: That's it.

Otherwise, he would not have reached a verbal agreement with Edward first on the pay.

When James Huang thought of the book he and Glenn Morgan made, he felt like a cat was crawling in his heart, and he would not obey unless he tried it.

Opportunities are earned.

Even if the other party disagrees, it won't affect the project under discussion too much, right?

He heard clearly just now that Shahai Entertainment has won the financial support of the Arabs, and those who are engaged in oil are not ordinary rich.

James Huang thought for a while and said, That... I used to be a screenwriter and joined my friend Glenn Morgan. He is also a screenwriter...

Ronan smiled: Huang, we hit it off right away, you're welcome, we'll just talk about it.

I wrote a script with Glenn, a horror movie. James Huang opened his briefcase and took out a script, The two of us had an idea when we were working on the X-Files crew, and then wrote it. An outline, the script was completed in the last six months.

He put the script on Ronan's desk: Can you take time to read it?

Ronan frowned slightly, roughly guessing what James Huang meant.

Seeing that Ronan didn't move the script, James-Huang continued: This is a new type of horror film, different from the traditional American plasma horror films and ghost horror films. Mr. Anderson, I promise, this will be an exciting film. A creepy film, sure to scare the audience!

Want me to invest in your project? Ronan asked directly.

It's pretty obvious that there are too many directors in Hollywood looking for investment, and very few of them end up getting it.

Yes. James-Huang is no longer going around in circles: I want to direct this script.

Ronan nodded lightly, opened the script, read a few pages, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Interesting, really interesting.

He looked and asked, Huang, if I don't invest in your project, are you going to reject the Human Removal Plan?

This... James Huang hesitated for a while, but still said, At least it's not my first choice.

He simply increased his own weight: Dimen Pictures invited me to direct the parody version of Scream, Scream, they rejected my request, and I did not agree to the invitation of Dimen for the time being. New Line An executive of the film industry thought my script was creative and wanted to buy out the copyright, but refused me to be the director, and Glenn and I turned it down.

Ronan is not stupid at all and can understand the meaning behind these words. James Huang is saying that he has no shortage of director invitations, and this script has the company's attention.

This script... um, how should I put it, it's really interesting.

James Wong,

It seems a little paranoid, but also a little anxious.

If you are an ordinary rookie director and get the chance to direct a movie, you will rarely make excessive conditions.

What about this one? But it tied itself to another project.

Ronan remained calm, many thoughts flashed through his head in an instant, and then quietly observed, James Huang's mentality was indeed a little anxious.

It is estimated that it has not hit a wall before.

A director without any movie experience who wants to direct a script he wrote is actually difficult to get investment. Not everyone is as lucky as James Cameron met Anne Hurd.

Moreover, James Cameron had a resume as a film director before Terminator.

James-Huang is also observing Ronan. It is true that there is no company that wants to buy the script, and the New Line Cinema that he said earlier is not fake, but he is very clear that the company that wants to buy the script has neither plan to invite him as a director, nor will he be a director. Recently put into production, the book written by him and Glenn Morgan is very likely to enter the huge script library of some film companies like countless scripts, and then it may become a movie in an unknown number of years.

This time may be three to ten years, and it may be longer.

In the 1980s, he had a screenplay that was acquired by Fox, and as a result, the film has not been produced yet.

If I had known this was the result, I would not have sold off the copyright at one time.

For the film company, the script buyout fee is not worth mentioning at all.

He was forty years old and didn't want to wait any longer.

Ronan had read the first quarter of the script and began to look at ten lines. His mind was no longer on the script, and he thought about how to use the script for profit.

There are roughly two parts of interests, short-term interests and long-term interests.

The former is James Huang and the Human Clearance Project. From all aspects, James Huang is very suitable for this position.

The latter, of course, is the script in his hands.

This is a famous project.

After Ronan read the first few pages of the script, he remembered who James Wong was.

If this guy had given his Chinese name instead of James Wong's English name, he would have remembered it long ago.

Huang Yiyu.

This name is not unfamiliar to anyone involved in filmmaking.

A director who started and became famous with horror films is generally more suitable for Human Removal Project.

It is impossible to match 100%, but after interviewing so many candidates, Huang Yiyu is the one with the best conditions.

Ronan closed the script, resisted the urge to buy out the copyright, and said lightly: This is not a traditional American horror movie. There is a saying in Hollywood, don't try unfamiliar things easily.

But proper innovation can bring fresh excitement to the audience. James-Huang said: Plasma tablets need some innovation.

Luo Nan Mosuo lowered his chin: A group of students escaped an air crash because of an emergency, and were then hunted down by death gods one by one. How can I say that? He frowned: The horror core of this film is somewhat like an oriental culture.

James Huang asked: Do you know the culture of the East?

Know one thing. When I was studying at the USC Film School, I studied it for a while. Ronan shook the script in his hand, Well, there is a saying in the ancient East...

He put on a memory: The god of death will let you die at three o'clock, but won't he leave you until five o'clock?

James-Huang echoed: Yes! Death has no suspense in this story, because the protagonists are doomed and must die. The entertainment value of the story lies in the process of the death journey, not the result.

Ronan shook his head straightly: It's a bit risky to use the core of the East to create a Hollywood horror movie.

James Huang Muran, this book is very creative in his opinion, but there are too many creative scripts in the industry, and most of them are ignored.

What's more, he is more ambitious and wants to direct this book.

James, you should be very clear that this film does not meet the consistent aesthetics of the North American horror film audience. Ronan is not talking nonsense, the type of Hollywood horror film with the best overall commercial performance is the blood plasma film of torture: I personally think that Your script is interesting, but I am a businessman and need to be accountable to investors.

James Huang of course knows this, otherwise he wouldn't be hitting a wall everywhere.

Hey... He sighed inwardly.

Should I put this script aside for now and direct other films first, and then talk about it later?

Just when James Huang's face was full of disappointment, Ronan said at the right time: I... can consider investing in your project.

He seemed to have made up his mind: But I have to convince investors.

James Huang had no hope at all, but now his hopeful eyes looked straight at Ronan.

Ronan frowned: My funds come from Arabia. The Arab oil rich are very rich, but they take money very seriously and are stubborn. If the conditions are not good enough, it will be difficult for them to pay.

What can I do? James Huang asked quickly.

You can't make this project with low investment. Ronan seemed to have thought about it carefully: The production investment must be very high, so I must reduce other expenses, such as copyright buyout fees.

James Huang was silent for a while, seemed to be weighing the gains and losses, and finally gritted his teeth: This is no problem, the lower price set by the Screenwriters Guild is the transfer fee, but I must be a director! My director's remuneration can be negotiated with this time. same!

In his eyes, this is nothing, James Cameron in order to direct the Terminator, the script transfer fee is only $1.

Ronan continued to stretch his hands to gain benefits: Buy out the full copyright.

Yes. James Huang's goal is to direct, and the rest is easy to talk about.

Ronan was still embarrassed, but his heart was full of joy. The full copyright naturally includes peripherals and sequels. As long as the first film can be as successful as the previous life, after following this routine, many films can be made.

My funds are very tight. He is a businessman, and of course he will continue to strive for benefits: Your project will have to wait until the release of Human Clearance Project to start preparations at the earliest.

James Huang nodded: Yes.

I need you to devote yourself to the Human Clearance Project as soon as possible. Ronan's family knows his own affairs, and at this stage, he is not professional enough in film production under the Hollywood mode: Develop detailed shooting for Shahai Entertainment. plan.

James Huang continued to nod.

Ronan lowered his voice slightly: There may be some doubts about this project. You only need to do a good job of directing, and don't bother about other aspects.

I understand. James Huang is not the first day in Hollywood.
