Chapter four hundred and fortieth IX: Big luck

Why are you looking at me like that? Lindsay Bill greeted Ronan and sat across from her.

Ronan pointed to the clothes on her body: You rarely dressed like this before.

Lindsay Bill looked down at the hip-wrapped skirt and said, I just attended the last party. I ran out halfway, and finally I don't have to go anymore.

Ronan understood what she meant and said, Thanks for your hard work.

Lindsay-Bill is a relatively reserved person. It seems that the time has been too hard. She rarely boasted: In order to write this script, I really worked hard.

Ronan nodded seriously: I can tell. He took a glass of water for Lindsay Bill: Drink some water first.

Thank you. Lindsay Bill drank three sips of water before saying, I can't help but wonder if I have a mental illness, am I crazy!

Ronan comforted: It can be seen that you are under a lot of pressure.

Lindsay Bill nodded and said: After returning from New York, I contacted the agent Kate gave me, but she didn't respond at all. I had no choice but to pretend to be a woman who wanted to make money from that , so I got in touch with her.

Ronan didn't speak any more, but listened patiently to Lindsay Bill's story.

Lindsay Bill tried to be as concise as possible: I pretended to be that kind of woman and met with the agent. I guess I have good congenital conditions. She took me to a high-end party, trying to attract me with those luxurious life , control me, I, a gold digger, have gained some of her trust, and got something out of her.

She took another sip of water and continued: Later, she started introducing clients to me. Doing high-end business has a bit of a two-way choice, and some men who only have a little bit of capital kneel and lick very hard, giving the woman the advantage of raising prices. I met a few so-called clients, got some words out of them, and ran away with excuses.

Ronan asked, Loss of trust?

Yeah. Lindsay Bill nodded lightly: The manager no longer trusts me. I broke up with her at a party today, and then ran back.

Ronan knew that she had done a lot on this project, even far more than a screenwriter's work, and said again: Thank you, Lindsay.

Lindsay Bill smiled and said: I also want to have authentic and credible material for the script. I can't close my eyes and write scribbles without even considering the basic facts?

Ronan thought for a while and said, I have collected enough information, don't do such dangerous things anymore.

I won't do it. Lindsay Bill seemed a little scared: There were two times. Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The next stage is to write the script. Ronan pays attention to the rewards: Lindsay, you are the only screenwriter for this project. In the future, you will be the second producer when the film project is approved.

Lindsay Bill's exhaustion disappeared in an instant, and her face was full of surprise: Ronan, is this true?

Ronan smiled and said, How can I joke about this kind of thing.

Lindsay Bill immediately said: Tomorrow, I will take a day off, and the day after tomorrow I will officially start integrating data and writing the script.

Which boss doesn't like such a proactive employee? Ronan said: Don't worry, rest for two more days.

Lindsay Bill stood up: I'm going home first.

Ronan nodded: Go back and have a good rest.

Before Lindsay Bill left, she asked curiously, Who do you want to be the director of this project?

Ronan said: Sofia Coppola is a personal choice, after all, this is a female theme. He warned: This is only our unilateral intention, keep it secret.

I understand. Lindsay Bill said goodbye and left.

Ronan has not approached Sofia Coppola about this project, and Sofia Coppola may not be willing to direct such a project.

Of course, there should be more directors, and David Fincher is also good. His films have a deep and dark style,

It fits perfectly with the subject matter.

But David Fincher's dark style is often too heavy and does not leave people hopeful, which is not good for the film's impact on the Oscars.

After investing so much time and energy, Ronan certainly wants the film to gain both fame and fortune.

It's best to come back with a heavyweight Oscar trophy.

Ronan thought of another name, Steven Soderbergh.

I remember seeing an experimental film about this industry made by Steven Soderbergh, and I specially invited a female artist from the San Fernando Valley to play the leading role. Unfortunately, the author’s style of the film is too strong, which makes people watch it at all. I can't go on, I have forgotten what I said in detail.

Steven Soderbergh is also a good director, as long as he doesn't make an author's film.

Waiting for Lindsay-Bill to finish the script, people can make initial contact with these three directors.

Ronan temporarily put this matter aside, took a script from the pile of scripts next to him, and read it seriously.

Due to occasional other work, Ronan browsed through the five scripts intermittently in the afternoon, and then marked them all.

Even though I just browsed through it at a glance, I can still judge that these scripts are basically worthless.

The basis for judgment is not only the strangeness of the storyline, but also the confusion of the script structure and the lack of basic logic.

The judgment of the latter comes from the ability that Ronan has cultivated in operating movies over the past few years.

In fact, looking for projects from the delivered scripts is almost like hitting luck.

A veteran producer once said, Of the thousands of scripts I've read, the vast majority don't have a single iota of value.

The script is the foundation of a movie, and its development is a long and complicated process. From the initial idea of ​​a story, it needs to go through a complicated process of writing, market evaluation and revision before finally entering the shooting stage.

When a newcomer makes his first film, many people tell him: You need to find a good script.

Don't trust them, because a good script is not enough.

The scripts that Ronan directly rejected are obviously the works of novices. Novice screenwriters often want to tell a very complicated story with a new perspective and a unique standpoint.

But it is too difficult for novices.

Even the Wachowski brothers (sisters) and brothers (sisters), who were at the peak at the beginning, only appeared at the peak after they had practiced works.

In fact, for newbies in the screenwriting industry, if they want to write a good script and get the green light from the film company, it is best for the plot to be simple and in line with Hollywood routines, and the chances of being adopted are lower for complex and fresh scripts.

It is best for a novice's script to be like a man and woman in heat, that is, the action is clear and the theme goes straight to the point.

Such a script can be operated as a rookie, and can reduce the chance of making mistakes due to lack of experience.

Then the script is delivered and left to luck.

Ronan judged that the script of non-familiar content is actually not complicated.

He mainly looks at several factors: a main character; a goal that the audience cares about; the main character needs to take a big enough risk; in danger, the main character needs to experience at least one, preferably three obstacles.

Since he didn't read all the scripts, Ronan simply took them home when he got off work, planning to work overtime at night.

Go back to the manor, give the script to the butler Nikia, and ask her to send it to the study.

Work-related places in the manor, such as the study and the private reception room, were only accessible to Ronan and the housekeeper Nikia.

Nikia has also proved in the past two years that she is an excellent and dedicated housekeeper.

After eating the dinner carefully prepared by the private chef, Ronan went out for a walk and did not go upstairs immediately after returning. Nikia, the housekeeper, summarized the manor's expenses in March and handed it to him.

From garden management, tree pruning and pest control to daily maintenance of basic facilities, plus expenses for various personnel and vehicles, as well as expenses for Ronan's treats and parties, Future World Manor spent a total of US$550,000 in March.

Generally speaking, Ronan's expenses are not high. According to the news circulating in the Pirates of the Caribbean crew, it is said that Johnny Depp spends one million dollars a month as normal.

Seeing Ronan signing the document, the housekeeper Nikia reminded again: The tax season is coming soon. According to the latest real estate value, the manor needs to pay 740,000 US dollars in property taxes.

Ronan nodded: I see, you can contact Connie tomorrow and ask her to help you handle it.

No one can mess with the tax bureau. There is no legal requirement for many years to buy real estate here, but the annual property tax is an expense that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, the property tax is not fixed and rises with the rise of housing prices.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a country that started from tax resistance.

Fortunately, the real estate tax in California is not high. For old western residential areas like Beverly Hills, the tax rate is only 1.1%.

Ronan explained some daily necessities that Nikia needs to buy recently, and then went upstairs to the study room to continue browsing the scripts that he hadn't read in the afternoon.

After reading seven or eight scripts in a row, Ronan was quite disappointed.

This way of looking for projects should be divided into several days or even a week, and take time to complete it, as a work adjustment, not the current situation.

To be honest, those who submitted the script were lucky, and he, the one who picked the script, was also lucky.

The former is that luck is good enough for the script to be selected by the film company.

Ronan, on the other hand, had to be very lucky to be able to find content that had relevant memories from a bunch of scripts submitted by newcomers or unknown screenwriters, and if it wasn't a bad movie...

Just like the films shot by Uwe Ball, if the film is bad to a certain level, it will leave a deeper impression on people.

After dinner until it was close to eleven o'clock, when there were still three scripts left, Ronan drank a glass of water and planned to finish it in one sitting tonight.

Maybe it was an outbreak of luck, or maybe a certain capable but inexperienced screenwriter was throwing scripts all over the sky to hit luck. Ronan saw the third last one and found a familiar plot and content.

A comic story about a wedding.
