The Best Entertainment Era

? When going out, Ronan briefly asked about the situation of Small Island Cry.

Based on his current relationship with Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise didn't hide anything, and said directly: I invested part of the money in this film, but the producer and main investor are Miramax. It has the final say. The North American distributor of Small Cry is Dimension Pictures of the Weinstein Brothers, and it is estimated that overseas will be handed over to Broadway International under Walt Disney.

Ronan nodded lightly: It's impossible to grab the release from the Weinstein brothers.

Tom Cruise said again: Ronan, I didn't pay much attention to this film in the later period, and you should know the reason.

Ronan understood, and said, I'm the one who was abrupt, and I don't want to play Small Island anymore.

Tom Cruise said with a smile: I will call you when I find a suitable movie.

After leaving the hotel, Ronan got into his own Cadillac and asked David, who was driving, to go back to North Hollywood.

On the second day after the CAA reception, Ronan asked someone to check the situation of Shonda Rhimes.

There are a lot of scammers in Hollywood, and it has happened many times over the years to cheat money under the guise of looking for investment.

Don't look at Ronan's beautiful words at the reception, in fact, he has never put down his precautions, even if the other party is a client of CAA, he will be careful.

Bad things happened to CAA not once or twice.

Judging from the information collected from various investigations, Shonda Rhimes has no problem.

Ronan was also somewhat surprised, this woman should be regarded as a rare elite among the blacks.

Shonda Rhimes was born in Chicago, USA. Her mother is a doctoral supervisor and her father is a chief information officer.

For blacks, such a family background is quite high.

After graduating from high school, Reames entered the famous Dartmouth College, where he received a bachelor's degree, and then was admitted to the Film School of the University of Southern California to study film and television.

Reames, who has always been a top student, not only successfully obtained a master's degree in fine arts at the University of Southern California, but also won the famous Gary Rosenberg Writing Scholarship.

certainly,

The life of a schoolmaster is not all smooth sailing. Shonda Rhimes did not develop smoothly in the first few years when she first entered Hollywood. It was not until 1998 when she worked as a screenwriter for the movie Flying Through the Galaxy that she started her career as a screenwriter.

Shonda Rhimes also worked in a film Ronan remembered.

She served as a screenwriter for Disney's Princess Diaries, which just finished filming some time ago, but she has no authorship.

Like James Huang, the tragic reality of the screenwriting industry has led to screenwriters eager to switch to other industries. A screenwriter who does not want to be a director and producer is definitely not a good screenwriter.

Shonda Rhimes took the initiative and approached the agency CAA, ABC TV drama production department, and 20th Century Fox TV drama department successively, but a woman is still a black person, coupled with the subject matter of technical background, resulting in almost no People trust her so-called originality.

And creativity is something that is valuable in Hollywood, and it is worthless if it is not worth money.

What's more, Shonda Rhimes also asked for the positions of director and producer.

As we all know, in the production of American dramas, the most important thing is the producer, followed by the screenwriter, and then the director.

A screenwriter with enough weight is enough to keep pace with a producer.

Imagine the reaction in Hollywood to having a black woman write and produce a project.

Ronan was also a little hesitant. After all, the social environment also affected him. The most important thing was that he didn't remember who Shonda Rhimes was.

Is it crazy to reuse the words of a black woman?

This kind of prejudice cannot be spoken out, but it is very common in society.

But over the weekend, after Ronan had another talk with Shonda Rhimes, those views gradually changed.

Because Shonda Rhimes went a step further to tell the story and the setting of the characters.

Since it is still in the creative stage, Shonda Rhimes is more about ideas than systematic considerations. The story and character settings are very simple, but they have already taken shape.

I thought about it two days ago and decided to set the background of the story in Seattle. Shonda Rhimes said to Ronan: It tells about a group of medical students who have just graduated from Seattle's Saint Grace Hospital. The story of becoming a real doctor.

Ronan's thoughts turned to an American TV series he had watched, and he asked, What about the setting of the protagonist?

Sanda Rhimes said without hesitation, I plan to set the first protagonist as a woman, named Grey, and this name comes from Grey's Anatomy.

Ronan can finally determine what the idea of ​​this TV series is, the female protagonist named Grey, a doctor, the story takes place in Seattle, or starts with an intern...

Grey's Anatomy!

Didn't Katherine Heigl, who had worked with him before, become famous because of this show?

Ronan watched the first and second seasons, and there seemed to be more than a dozen seasons later, but it was too long for him, and he didn't watch any after the second season.

In fact, only the first season has been seriously watched, and the second season has only been browsed in general.

After confirming the project of Shonda Rhimes, Ronan will certainly not let it go. After the start of the new week, the two parties signed a formal cooperation agreement of intent, but Shonda Rhimes needs time to perfect his ideas and then write out the outline And the script, this project will be in the text writing stage for a long time in the future.

According to Shonda Rhimes, she needs at least half a year to perfect the script and project plan.

Ronan knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, and Shahai Entertainment also needed time to prepare, such as taking this opportunity to set up a TV series production department.

The two parties have only reached a cooperation intention, and the specific negotiations will have to wait until Shonda Rhimes comes up with the script and proposal.

Ronan also sent someone to assist Shonda Rhimes in his work.

A few days later, news came from Shonda Rhimes that in order to complete the script writing, Shonda Rhimes was going to Seattle, contacted three large hospitals, and would conduct a three-month on-site experience before and after.

This kind of medical drama cannot be written with a dull head.

If Shonda Rhimes ended up with a romance drama disguised as a medical drama, Ronan would never work with her.

Looking at it now, at least there is no problem with Shonda Rhimes' professional creative spirit.

After all, this is a reality-themed TV series that involves the real society. It is impossible for the screenwriter to imagine what hospitals and doctors look like, and write the book as imagined regardless of basic facts and logic.

Realistic themes are also good. As long as you don't look for big-name stars, the investment in the first season is relatively small.

In this era, big-name stars rarely star in TV dramas.

Strictly speaking, this is a kind of outrageous thing in the film industry.

The safest strategy is undoubtedly to shoot one episode first, and then watch the specific effects before shooting and producing subsequent content.

Many American dramas adopted this production strategy at the beginning.

The work can never be finished. In his busy spare time, Ronan did not forget to go to the gym.

Ronan has applied for a long-term membership in that fitness club. As long as the personal trainer Tina is at work, he can go there anytime.

He rushed to the clubhouse in the middle of the afternoon, changed his clothes, and entered the fitness room dedicated to Coach Tina. He found that someone had already started exercising.

Angelina Jolie wore an off-white corset, showing her flat stomach, shaking her long toned legs, and sweating profusely on the treadmill.

Twenty-five-year-old Angelina Jolie is at the best stage of her life. Not only is her body and face at their peak, but she also has a wild temperament left over from a swinger.

Frankly speaking, Angelina Jolie is not the most outstanding batch in Hollywood in terms of single-round appearance, but with her outstanding figure and wild temperament, she is definitely a sexy stunner.

Angelina Jolie also saw Ronan, Ronan smiled at her, and Angelina Jolie nodded as a greeting.

Coach Tina came over at this time and told Ronan about the fitness program to be carried out today. Ronan memorized the key points, then stepped on the exercise bike and started riding rhythmically.

A lot of mechanical repetitive movements are actually boring if you do too much. Fitness is not as interesting as imagined, and it is even a boring process.

Ronan was a little distracted. He pedaled the car and remembered the news from Robert Lee. Robert Lee had already made an appointment for him. Next week, he would go to New York to talk with copyright authorities.

The other party is in a predicament and is trying to get out of the predicament by exchanging the copyright of the character for funds. For him, this is definitely the best opportunity.

After next year's summer vacation, everything will change drastically, and the other party will inevitably realize the value of the character in hand, far exceeding their own estimates.

Although their estimated value is already high.

Concentrate! Coach Tina's voice sounded in my ear: Quicken up!

Ronan quickly came back to his senses, and all his mental attention was focused on fitness.

According to the plan formulated by Coach Tina, Ronan rode for 25 minutes for fitness alone. After a short rest, he went to do barbell squats again. After doing it twice, Angelina Jolie came to another machine next to her. Also did barbell squats.

Put your chest up! Tighten your belly! Coach Tina shouted the precautions from the side: Raise your buttocks! Get up!

Ronan took advantage of the gap of putting down the barbell and glanced over there, perhaps because of the influence of filming Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie can see obvious muscle lines.

This is what a sexy woman should look like.

Think about the previous life after 2010, Angelina Jolie was thin and out of shape. In some street photos, the exposed legs are simply skinny.

Ten minutes later, the program was changed again. This workout lasted a total of one hour, and then Tina sent Ronan and Angelina Jolie to the free activity area, letting the two relax their muscles by walking slowly.

The two had time to chat for a few words.
