The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 95 Long-term planning

In the restaurant, Ronan and Jessica Felton sat opposite each other, tasting the best steak.

what……

A low exclamation came from Jessica Felton, and a small piece of beef slipped from her mouth, which would definitely fall under normal circumstances.

But as a woman who looked down and couldn't see her feet, a tragedy happened. The beef fell on the huge mountain, causing a big stain on the white T-shirt.

Here we go again. Jessica Felton picked up the small piece of beef, threw it on the table, and complained, It's like this every time I eat.

Ronan looked at the conspicuous stains on the mountain, and thought of Jessica Felton's dirty chest... no, it was the clothes on the chest. They all fell down, Jessica Felton couldn't see her feet when she looked down, and the food could only hit the mountain.

Hey, the sadness of big breasts.

Sighing secretly, Ronan took out the napkin and handed it to Jessica Felton: Do you want to wipe it?

Jessica Felton looked down and smiled embarrassedly: Thank you.

Taking the napkin, she gently wiped the T-shirt that was propped up high by her chest.

Perhaps it was a natural and particularly soft relationship. As she wiped the oil stains on the T-shirt, the two big lumps trembled and trembled non-stop.

Ronan quickly picked up the water glass and took a sip, his eyes shifted upwards to Jessica Felton's face with light wheat-colored smooth skin, forced to recall her disheveled and slovenly image.

How long will it take to finish editing the film? Ronan asked.

Jessica Felton put down the napkin, thought for a while, and said: It will take some time. She explained a few words: You want a horror atmosphere, but also maintain a real DV selfie effect, editing is more difficult than mine. Imagine bigger.

Ronan suddenly remembered something: By the way, I forgot to tell you just now. You edited a five-minute clip, which mainly highlights the disappearance of the Blair Witch and two college students.

No problem. Jessica Felton agreed first, and then asked, Are you planning to do publicity?

Ronan nodded slightly: Yes.

Jessica Felton asked curiously: You don't want to make a fuss about the disappearance?

Although he is a technical fanatic, he is not stupid at all, and even an idiot can't do fine work with high technical content like editing.

Keep secret. Ronan reminded her: Don't forget, we signed a confidentiality clause.

Jessica Felton understood the meaning behind this, and responded first: Of course I will keep it a secret. I am so poor and have no money to pay. She then said: Do you really want to hype the disappearance?

Ronan shrugged: The two actors can't be found, I just plan to ask the whole of North America to help find them.

Is this false advertising? Jessica Felton asked.

Ronan shook his head: This is a business strategy, it has nothing to do with false propaganda.

How can there be false claims about business matters?

Jessica Felton was not stupid at all, and said directly: Don't put my name on the subtitles of this movie.

Don't worry. Ronan glanced at her: This is a self-timed DV video after editing, not a movie, and there will be no cast and crew subtitles on it.

If the film is marked with a list of directors, producers, or actors, it is not self-inflicted.

Jessica Felton is a little worried: Can you pass the union and MPAA?

The MPAA is easy to say, the big deal is that the rating is R. Ronan took a napkin to wipe his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then remembered that this napkin Jessica Felton had just wiped his chest, put it aside, and continued: The directors' union has regulations on the opening and ending of the film, but none of the people involved in this film is a member of the union, so they don't have to follow the rigid regulations of the union.

The title of Star Wars did not comply with the directors' union regulations.

George Lucas was unwilling to make any changes. In order for the film to be released smoothly, George Lucas simply withdrew from the directors' union.

Until now, George Lucas is still a non-union member.

The two discussed for a while the fine cut of The Blair Witch. Ronan remembered the lack of talent under his command and asked, Jessie, do you have any plans for future development?

Jessica Felton didn't even think about it, and said directly: Edit.

Ronan suggested seriously: I think you should broaden your horizons and take a long-term view.

Jessica looked at Ronan, not quite understanding the meaning of the words, and asked, Isn't it good to be an editor?

Editing is the most critical part of post-production. Ronan has seen Jessica Felton's dedication and attitude towards work. This kind of technical madman with his own bedding should have great potential: Your future You will be exposed to more and more film projects, and you may even encounter top-tier productions, you may need a team to assist, don’t you want to build a team?

Jessica Felton said directly: No, because I don't have the money to pay others.

The salary can be paid by hiring the crew. Ronan did not give up. For example, as a post-producer, you can also control the editing and have more power.

Jessica Felton understood what Ronan meant: You mean, let me develop in the direction of a producer?

Ronan nodded and said: Professional and technical producer, this direction does not conflict with your hobbies. He thought for a while, and then said: Go further, you can use Katherine Kennedy as a template.

Katherine Kennedy was initially Steven Spielberg's secretary and assistant, and later climbed from assistant producer to producer step by step, participating in ET Aliens, Back to the Future Song, Jurassic Park, Tornado and many other film production work, is the most successful female producer in Hollywood at this stage.

In her previous life, after George Lucas retired, she became the helm of Lucasfilm.

This... Jessica Felton scratched her face, I really didn't think about it.

She devoted herself to the research of editing technology, and never thought about things that were too far away.

Ronan said again: Jesse, you are a career-oriented woman, you should make a long-term career plan for yourself.

Jessica Felton nodded: I will seriously consider it when the editing is finished.

After having lunch together, and returning to Warner Studios, Ronan did not go to the office building. After separating from Jessica Felton, he went directly to the studio where the crew of Death Comes is located.

The preliminary preparations of the crew have reached the final stage, and the filming will officially begin soon.

Ronan approached director James Huang: Have any difficulties?

James Huang was not polite, and said directly: Funds! If you want to achieve the ideal shooting effect, the funds may exceed the budget.

Ronan had already prepared for it. The public budget of Death Comes is 15 million US dollars, but the actual investment can reach up to 20 million US dollars.

Properly control it. Ronan reminded James Huang: I can solve the over budget, but not too much. If there is too much, I can't explain it to investors.

James Huang took out the latest plan and looked at it, and said, I roughly estimated that it will not exceed 2 million US dollars at most.

When it was time for Ronan to support the director, he would not be ambiguous: Well, James, 17 million US dollars, I will be responsible for the extra funds, and there is nothing I can do if there is more.

James Huang laughed immediately: Thank you for your support, Ronan.

But I also have a condition. How could Ronan do business at a loss, and often exchanged the resources he was about to invest in for benefits: You will be the sequel director of Human Purge 2, and there will be a sequel to Death Comes in the future. If so, you also have to be the director.”

James Huang scratched his dark hair: Ronan, this... is too far away, you should talk to my agent.

Instead of persuading him, Ronan asked, James, if you go to accept the projects of those big studios, can you get the support I have?

James Huang didn't speak. Although Ronan was the producer of the film crew, Ronan rarely interfered with his normal work, and he almost responded to his requests for funds. It is impossible for a director of the same level to be as comfortable as him.

But this kind of promise cannot be given casually. James Huang thought for a while before saying: Ronan, I am very grateful for your support, making my dream a movie. In the next two years, under the same conditions, I will I will choose to cooperate with you first.
