The Best Entertainment Era

The blond hair is tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and Lindsay Bill's face looks very delicate, she has the demeanor of a literary and artistic young woman, but she has worked in Sandsea Entertainment for several years and often deals with Ronan, so the influence is quite obvious , not that kind of literary style screenwriter, more inclined to business.

Lindsay Beal pushed a script to Ronan.

Ronan picked it up and asked, Finished?

Lindsay Bill nodded heavily: I have completed the task you gave me.

Ronan pointed to the script and said, Let me read it first.

Lindsay Bill picked up her coffee and waited patiently.

Opening the script, Ronan read it very quickly, but compared to the script he read before, he read it more carefully.

This is a story comprehensively adapted from countless real-life cases and materials. The content and themes are a bit heavy. A naive, sunny, and cheerful girl was forced by life at the beginning to come into contact with a special industry. You can't extricate yourself from it, even if others want to pull it from the outside, you can't pull it out. Instead, you are immersed in the rich, glamorous and dazzling life that you have made yourself, and you are proud of it.

At the end of the story, the girl is infected with AIDS and waits for death alone in a gorgeous room.

Lindsay-Bill took a look at Ronan. She put a lot of effort into the heroine and her experience, combined multiple real-life cases as the basis, and then used Hollywood's usual methods to create a secondary creation...

Ronan put down the script, closed his eyes, and thought about it again. There was no problem with the design of the main characters, which appropriately reflected the current status of some female groups. The main frame of the plot conformed to the three-act structure of Hollywood scripts, with Very obvious black and heavy style.

This is also in line with the film style he confessed, and the future film must be a dark style film.

Seeing Ronan open his eyes, Lindsay Bill asked expectantly: Ronan, how is the script? Is it okay?

The writing is very good. Ronan still praised first, and the writing is really good. This kind of script adapted from realistic themes must not only be realistic, but also must have certain artistic processing, and must also ensure its commercial attributes. difficulty. He smiled and said, So much preliminary work is not in vain.

Lindsay Bill was not humble either, but instead said: The company pays me a high salary, and there is a bonus for completing a project. My work must always be worthy of the salary.

Ronan couldn't help laughing: Lindsay, if every employee in the company can be like you, Relativity Entertainment will grow and develop soon.

Lindsay Bill was not dazzled by Ronan's praise, and said: You are one of the best-sighted producers in the industry, and in my opinion you are the best. The script is just a first draft, not perfect, and Where can we improve?

Ronan was blunt: Can the ending be set in another version? He also only had preliminary thoughts: The heroine should not die or get sick, but be glamorous and happy like a real elite. Live in the city of New York.

So... Lindsay Bill was lost in thought.

I'm not asking you to do this, I'm just proposing an idea, let's discuss it together. Ronan didn't mean to force it: What kind of ending will make the film look more interesting.

Lindsay Bill nodded slowly and said, In this way, the ending will have an ironic effect.

Ronan picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said, Is there such a case in reality?

Yes. Lindsay Bill said, Do you know Dita Von Teese?

Ronan shook his head: I've never heard of it.

Lindsay-Bill said softly: When I was collecting information, I had contact with her on the spot. She can be said to be a leader in a special industry. Now she can hold a personal striptease show in the theater, and she can also act in a champagne bath. It is art, which attracts a large number of rich lovers, thus dressing themselves up as celebrities.

Ronan was a little surprised: Is this okay?

Lindsay Bill had an idea: Every industry has a leader,

The American Dream can come true! So why can't the heroine of our script live out the American dream in her own way?

Ronan had to admire: Lindsay, you have such a big brain.

When you are a screenwriter, you need to open up your mind. Lindsay Bill thinks this is a good idea: A suitable brain hole can effectively enhance the charm of the plot.

With some excitement, she said: This ending is good, and it has more characteristics than the traditional ending!

Ronan thought for a while: You write another version with this ending. There is basically no need to change the rest, just change the plot at the end stage.

Lindsay Beale said: I'm going to go back and work on it right away today.

Ronan reminded: Two endings are reserved for the time being in the script, which one to adopt specifically, we will discuss after the director of the project is determined.

Okay. Lindsay Bill had no objection.

Ronan opened his briefcase, took out a stack of thick printed materials, handed it to Lindsay Bill, and said, After you finish this script, take time to read these during your break.

Lindsay Bill took it over, flipped through it quickly and said, I don't need to take a break. I've been resting while writing the script for the past few months. I've adjusted.

She seemed to have seen something, and said with a little surprise: This is a novel about the fashion industry? Why does this Miranda look so much like the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine?

You know Anna Wintour? Ronan asked.

Lindsay Beer laughed: I'm a woman, and every woman who cares about fashion doesn't read Vogue?

Seeing that she knew who Anna Wintour was, Ronan simply said: This is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Anna Wintour's former assistant based on her own experience. The novel is under review and will be published soon. I have People bought the copyright of the film in advance, intending to adapt it into a female-themed workplace and fashion film.”

Lindsay Bill was unequivocal, showing a bit of confidence on her delicate face: Ronan, leave this script to me! I am a working woman, I know a little about the fashion industry, and I can also collect information, and this It’s also a female theme that I’m good at.”

The success of Summer of Jeans allowed Lindsay Bill to complete a transformation as a screenwriter, adding a lot of confidence.

Of course Ronan would not refuse: I will let Shahai Entertainment talk to you about script adaptation.

Successful screenwriters like Lindsay Beal who have authorship rights are naturally not treated like those ghostwriter screenwriters who do not have authorship rights. In addition to the normal salary, there will be additional project bonuses.

This is a very simple truth. If you want a horse to run, you must feed the horse.

Lindsay Bill glanced at the information that Ronan gave her, and said, This former assistant's writing skills are very good.

Ronan talked about what he learned from Robert Lee: She was originally a literature student... Well, how should I put it? It should be said that she was very lucky. She became Anna Wintour's assistant as soon as she graduated.

I don't know how many people are envious of this position.

Lindsay Bell collected the materials and asked, When do I need to finish it?

Ronan said directly, Within half a year.

No problem. Lindsay Bill simply calculated: I will submit the manuscript by the end of March next year.

In Ronan's plan, the project The Devil Wears Prada will definitely be filmed and produced next year. This is also to match Anne Hathaway's schedule. Anne Hathaway is still filming Princess Diaries 2 for Disney .

The filming of this film was not smooth, the director Garry Marshall was too old, and his physical condition was not very good. The crew always took a period of time to stop filming. It is estimated that the intermittent filming will not be completed until next year.

According to this situation, The Princess Diaries 2 must be the last movie directed by Garry Marshall.

Because of the successful cooperation in Summer of Jeans, Ronan originally planned to continue to cooperate with Garry Marshall in youth idol movies, but now he no longer has such plans.

With Garry Marshall's physical condition, he might collapse on the set, and the investigation by the director union alone would be a huge trouble.

Lindsay Beale, who seemed impatient to get back to writing another ending, bid her farewell, and before leaving, thought of something and asked, By the way, the Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games, and Grey's What's going on with the sequel to Fifty Shades?

The second volumes of the three series have all been completed. Ronan said simply: It will be published and launched at the end of the year.

Lindsay Beal asked again: How did the first part sell?

Ronan smiled and said: The past two years have been rising, and the popularity is getting bigger and bigger. The worst-selling Fifty Shades of Gray has also sold more than 700,000 copies in North America. City and The Hunger Games have sold over a million copies.

Lindsay Bill waved to Ronan and said, I'm going first.

Ronan nodded, waited for Lindsay Bill to come out of the coffee shop, and left after paying the bill.

The three series Twilight, The Hunger Games and Fifty Shades of Grey have been outsourced to a studio for ghostwriting, and Ronan doesn't need to bother too much, just wait for the right time to promote the film adaptation That's it.

Since entering October, the focus of Embassy Pictures has shifted to Dungeon Siege, which was released and released this month.

As a game adaptation epic with a production cost of more than three million US dollars, coupled with Relativity Entertainment's previous success in Uwe Ball's Haunted House of the Dead, Embassy Pictures, at Ronan's proposal, made Dungeon Siege has a well-planned publicity and promotion plan.

A small part of this plan is to use the hero Jason Statham's prosperous beauty to make a fuss, and more of it revolves around director Uwe Ball.

And Uwe Ball himself not only agrees, but is also very active.
