The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 39 Take the initiative

In the northern part of the San Fernando Valley, there is a small town called Shaq. The Human Purge crew began to come to the O'Neal neighborhood of the town last week to shoot not many exterior scenes.

It took more than half a month to run around among the distribution companies in the Los Angeles area, contact George Clint about interviews from the media to the crew, and specifically inquire about the situation of Band of Brothers and Stephen Ambrose , Ronan came to the O'Neal neighborhood of Shaq Town.

The filming of the crew went smoothly, there were few small production staff, plus they were all actors with little reputation, the situation of conflict was not serious, and for the time being, there had been no troubles that required his appearance as a producer to solve it.

Originally, the two actors who played the daughter were the most prone to conflicts. They could easily steal the scene from each other, but there was a difference in age between the actors. Michelle Williams and Amanda Seyfried started their personal relationship from rehearsal It's a good place, especially Amanda Seyfried's mother, who is really good at being a person.

Ronan lost count of the number of times Mrs Seyfried handed out homemade pastries on set.

This thing seems inconspicuous, but it can play a lot in the interpersonal relationship of the crew.

Although she was sent to Hollywood early to make money, Amanda Seyfried is considered lucky to have such a mother.

Interpersonal relationship has always been a university question. It is absolutely impossible for actors not to fight each other, otherwise they will not only be sorry for the profession, but also for the gossip crowd.

Michelle Williams had several minor issues with her on-screen mother, Melissa Leo, all of which were easily resolved by director James Wong.

After nearly a month of shooting, Ronan confirmed that James Huang is a capable director.

Although it is the first time to pick up a film guide tube, James Huang has accumulated rich experience as a chore, screenwriter, assistant director, assistant director, TV drama director and producer in various positions.

This Chinese director can be described as thick and thin.

For filming, half of the block was temporarily rented by the crew, but in this typical suburban town, half a block is actually only five or six houses.

The crew was filming a shootout scene, and the gunfire kept ringing like fried beans.

Ronan just watched from the outside. The job of the producer is not in the shooting. It is enough to grasp the progress and specific situation of the shooting.

The filming paused, and a blond woman who followed from Los Angeles immediately approached.

Good morning, Mr. Anderson.

Hearing this greeting, Ronan nodded politely with a smile: Hello, Judith.

The staff of the bank's credit department came to the San Fernando Valley from Los Angeles.

Judith had a warm smile on his face: Mr. Herman asked me to convey his greetings to you.

Ronan said politely: Thank you. He added: Thank you for your support to Shahai Entertainment.

You are too polite. Judith said with a smile: We are partners.

It was with great difficulty that she got Shahai Entertainment back as a client from her boss: Looking at the shooting situation, this film is very large-scale? Does it need financial support from the bank?

In this era of fierce competition, high-quality customers are too rare.

Ordinary customers who dare to lend money easily?

Ronan said lightly: I will call you if necessary.

Just seeing Mary and Robert coming over, he pointed over there: Sorry, I have work to deal with.

Judith didn't have the arrogance he had when he first met him, and he was very witty: Mr. Anderson, you are busy first, and you can contact me anytime if you need me.

The woman left here immediately, as if chasing the San Fernando Valley from Los Angeles, just to say these few words.

When Mary and Robert came over, Ronan called them into a nanny car with excellent sound insulation.

Accounts are good.

Ronan turned on the air conditioner, and first said to the chief financial officer: Mary, you are an expert in this field.

Mary was also not modest, she smiled and said, Do the Arabs mean to check investment accounts?

Ronan shook his head lightly: No. I had a phone call with Saleh the day before yesterday, and his brother Mansur was very satisfied when he learned that the crew had officially started filming.

Robert answered, Shall we go to Abu Dhabi again?

Not now. Ronan's head was clear: We'll talk about it after Human Purge Project is released.

As for the project Death is Coming, it would not be possible without an investment of 10 million US dollars.

Robert patted his forehead: Oh, that's right. Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the Indians? I heard a situation. When the small Indian delegation came to Los Angeles, they went to DreamWorks for inspection.

Ronan frowned slightly: Dreamworks has connections with Indians?

This is not surprising, Hollywood producers are cheating all over the world, he also heard some time ago that a production company cheated millions of dollars from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

When he got the news, he was also a little moved. After all, the coal bosses seemed to be very embarrassing.

But after thinking about it, I still gave up. There is always a bottom line in life.

DreamWorks wants to attract Indian investment? Ronan asked again.

Robert replied: It is possible in the future. The Indians are just investigating this time.

For some reason, Ronan subconsciously connected this matter with Band of Brothers. That mini-series had a huge investment, and it would not be easy for DreamWorks to raise funds with HBO. It is said that some Ah San who got rich first were really very happy. rich.

But even if this is true, it probably won't go well.

Band of Brothers has a lot of trouble, especially original author Stephen Ambrose.

What is your first impression of this writer? The special advisor of Saving Private Ryan, the original author of Band of Brothers, has written the biographies of Nixon and Eisenhower.

After searching specifically before, he found that since the 1990s, Stephen Ambrose had a lot of plagiarism and copyright scandals, some of which involved Band of Brothers.

Two years ago, World War II veterans accused Stephen Ambrose of plagiarizing his memoirs and diaries.

Because Band of Brothers is currently only a book and has not yet been visualized, the scope of transmission is relatively small, so this incident has not caused any trouble at all.

If the allegations are true, Band of Brothers could be caught in a copyright dispute if the veterans get into trouble.

This is often the case with Hollywood adaptations, usually with money to solve the problem.

Those who make trouble just want to benefit.

Ronan thought for a while, and said to Robert: You continue to pay attention to the Indians.

The third brother's money is also money.

Robert nodded, understanding what Ronan meant, and will focus on the situation of the Indians later.

Mary then asked, How's the issue over there?

Later, she had to deal with financial work, so she didn't follow her.

It's about the same as expected. Ronan said simply: For the time being, no distribution company has expressed their intention to sign a contract, but except for a few distribution companies such as DreamWorks, people from other companies have clearly stated that they will talk about it after watching the finished film. .”

Robert glanced at Ronan, recalled the situation in the last movie, and reminded him slightly: We are a small company, and we have just set foot in theatrical movies, which is normal.

Of course Ronan could understand the meaning of this, and said, I understand. He thought for a while, and said, It's a bit passive to just send samples to the distribution company.

Yes. Robert nodded and asked, Do you have an idea?

Ronan rubbed his chin and said, I have an idea, can you see if it works? Let's hold a viewing meeting and invite the distributor's viewing experts and some movie fans to participate, so that we can take the initiative and make work easier.

That's a good idea, Mary agreed.

Robert echoed: A lot of production companies do this, and they say it works well.

Okay then, let's call a viewing meeting. Ronan made a decision: I have been in contact with many distribution companies during this period, and I should be able to invite people from five or six companies.

His voice lowered slightly: I have other ideas.
