The Best Entertainment Era

As night falls and the lights of Los Angeles come on, the city begins its most dynamic moment.

A black Bentley elegantly drove out of Sunset Boulevard and arrived at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel between West Hollywood and Santa Monica. The waiter immediately came over and opened the door. Ronan stepped on the short red carpet and walked through the The magnificent porch full of Renaissance style enters the hotel lobby.

Mr. Anderson. Someone came to lead the way: Please go this way.

Through a long corridor, Ronan entered the huge banquet hall, and immediately saw many acquaintances.

Brian Lord, an important partner of CAA, was the first to greet him. After Ronan shook hands with him, he greeted other senior figures of CAA one by one.

The two parties have cooperated in many film and television projects, and are relatively familiar with each other.

Brian Lord first pulled Ronan aside, and said: The trial broadcast of Grey's Anatomy on ABC TV has done very well, and ABC TV will officially book the first season with you soon.

Nicole Kidman, who passed by, came over to say hello. Ronan shook hands with her and exchanged greetings. After Nicole Kidman left, he said, The production funds of Shahai Entertainment have been allocated. The filming starts, and the filming can be completed in August, and the start of the autumn season will not be delayed.

Before the broadcast, the first season will definitely not be fully produced, but it is not uncommon for American dramas to be produced while broadcasting.

Brian Lord said: I will try to get a good airtime for this show, and try to put it on Friday night.

CAA is the packaging service provider, and Ronan was not polite, saying: Brian, then you should pay more attention.

Brian Lord smiled and said, It should.

He made a gesture of invitation: Ronan, let me introduce you to some newly signed celebrity clients.

An agent like Brian Lord is responsible for a huge team, and the clients that the entire team is responsible for are actually under his control.

Under each big broker, there are dozens of small brokers and broker assistants who are responsible for specific execution. This is a team.

So there is no situation that cannot be brought, just like Ronan, the owner of the film company, the big manager does not have to do everything by himself.

Brian Lord brought Ronan into the circle of his team,

Ronan first saw Anne Hathaway, who was chatting softly with Michelle Williams, who had worked with Sandsea Entertainment.

You should be familiar with these two, so I won't introduce them. Brian Lord waited alone.

Hi, Ronan, good evening. Michelle Williams took the initiative to shake hands with Ronan.

Ronan smiled and nodded: Good evening, Misha.

Then, he looked at Anne Hathaway and said, What's the matter, Anne? Don't you recognize me?

Anne Hathaway seemed a little emotional: I just didn't expect to meet you here.

Ronan said calmly, I didn't think of that either.

Michelle Williams first looked at Ronan, then at Anne Hathaway, seemed to understand something, made an excuse, and left here.

Anne Hathaway glanced at Ronan and whispered, It's been so long, you haven't had a single call.

Sorry. Ronan looked very sincere: It's my fault.

He smiled and said: You went overseas to film Summer of Jeans. I went to East Asia, and it was indeed a bit far away. Why didn't you tell me when you came back?

Although Anne Hathaway was a bit rough, she also knew that there were some things that couldn't be ignored, and said, I came back to renew my contract with CAA, and I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon.

Ronan stretched out his hand, and Anne Hathaway put her hand in his palm tacitly.

So you have time tonight? Ronan held Anne Hathaway's hand and said, Don't stay in a hotel at night, it's not convenient, go to my place.

Anne Hathaway couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to refuse, she said, Okay then, let the driver take me to the airport tomorrow.

At this time, she saw Brian Lord coming to find Ronan, and said, I'll go talk to Misha for a while, Brian may have something to do with you.

Ronan looked like a good man: I'll go find you when I'm done.

Anne Hathaway pulled out her hand and walked towards where Michelle Williams was.

Recently, the crew of Michelle Williams was on location in the same area as the crew of Summer of Jeans. Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams quickly became friends.

Many friendships in Hollywood, like love, often come and go very fast and very intense.

Brian Lord came to Ronan's side and said, I recently signed two directors here. I'll take you to meet one of the female directors. She has a project in her hand. Maybe you can reach a cooperation.

Ronan was following Brian Lord, and he had already seen the female director. Seeing that it was Sofia Coppola, he couldn't help being a little curious about the other one: Is there a male director?

Brian Lord said: He promised to come tonight, and he hasn't arrived yet.

Ronan looked forward: Let me get to know Miss Coppola first.

Hi, Sofia. Brian Lord came up to Sofia Coppola and said, I'll introduce you to a friend.

He looked at Ronan and said, This is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment, a very remarkable producer. Ronan, this is Sophia, a talented director.

Ronan and Sofia Coppola shook hands and greeted each other. Although they had never met before, the Hollywood circle said that they were not big, and they had heard of each other's names.

Brian Lord is an agent, and his most important job is to connect clients and film companies. When Ronan chatted with Sofia Coppola, he said, Sofia, your project is not looking for investment. Fang and distributor? Ronan has both a production company and a distribution company, I think you can try to cooperate.

Ronan thought for a while and asked directly: Miss Coppola, may I know what project you have in hand?

Sofia Coppola smiled and said, A romance film, roughly about an affair between an old man and a young woman in Tokyo.

Hearing this, Ronan can roughly guess that it should be the best Lost in Translation filmed by Sofia Coppola in his directorial career.

Brian Lord said at the right time: I read the script, it's very good.

Ronan nodded, but did not answer immediately.

Sofia Coppola added: The story is inspired by my travels in Tokyo when I was in my 20s. That experience gave me a lot of ideas. For example, I feel that when I suddenly meet my fellow countrymen in a foreign country, I often have a wonderful sense of intimacy and even At the same time, I found that in an unfamiliar environment, it is easy to fall into the inspection and thinking of life at midnight.

Ronan knew very well that this would be a romantic literary film.

Sophia added: As for me, I hope to express my love and nostalgia through this movie. In my opinion, life will always experience such lost moments, and there will also be wonderful encounters. They cannot last forever, but they will have an indelible impact on life. Impact.

She seems to be adding chips to herself: I have already convinced Bill Murray to play the leading actor.

Ronan nodded and asked, Do you want to issue cooperation or invest?

Sofia Coppola shrugged slightly: Originally I contacted Miramax, but Harvey Weinstein... well, you know that guy, I met him once, the impression was too bad, I don't like it He, so I will definitely not cooperate with him.

Switching to some other junior directors, they are all begging to cooperate with Harvey Weinstein, but Sofia Coppola does have the capital to reject Harvey Weinstein.

A father is Francis Coppola, and the godfather is George Lucas' female director, who has willful power.

Ronan asked again: Does your project still need investment?

If you want to invest, I welcome it. Sofia Coppola obviously believed in Brian Lord: The investment in this film is not much, 4 million US dollars is enough.

Ronan was a little curious: You can't find investment?

Sofia Coppola said directly: Although someone prepared $4 million for me, I think the investment I brought in is more meaningful.

Ronan understood that this should be an issue involving the relationship between father and daughter. The aspiring daughter did not want to continue to accept her father's assistance.

No way, Sofia Coppola's starting point in this industry is too high, and she can star in The Godfather when she is breastfeeding...

Issuance and investment are all fine. Ronan was more cautious: But I need to read the script first.

Sofia Coppola responded: Tomorrow I will send someone to your company.

Here, Ronan, Brian Lord and Sofia Coppola are still discussing the movie.

On the other side, Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams were whispering.

Is there a problem between you and Ronan? Michelle Williams looked at Ronan and asked in a low voice: Annie, didn't you say that the relationship between you is very hot?

Anne Hathaway lowered her voice: I think he's losing interest in me.

Michelle Williams seems to have a lot of experience: When dealing with these producers, you must properly whet your appetite. She passed on her experience: You can't let him succeed all at once, even if you have a relationship, you must be reserved. A little, keep a little.

Anne Hathaway asked for advice: How to do it?

Whenever his interest fades, you unlock a new position. Michelle Williams is a good teacher: After a relatively long period of time, you unlock a new position.

She looked at Anne Hathaway's big mouth: For example, here, or other places. Control the frequency and rhythm well, so that he can fall on you for a long time.

Anne Hathaway froze for a moment, then asked in a muttering voice: The problem is that I have used all the positions I can think of, and all the parts that can be used. What should I do?

Michelle Williams felt a deep sense of powerlessness: Annie, you are hopeless.
