The Best Entertainment Era

The sun in the sky hid behind the dark clouds, and the dim light made the road ahead somewhat dark. Several Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles passed through the long canyon, entered a farm along the broken road, and finally stopped near the barn of the farm. .

Here, more than a dozen crew members are busy, and there are still cranes hanging in the air, as if they are repairing the house.

Ronan pushed open the car door, instead of going over immediately, he stood outside.

This is a farm in the east of Los Angeles. The farmer has already gone bankrupt due to poor management, resulting in a slightly dilapidated farmhouse and barn.

Standing in front of the car, Ronan took a general look at it. It was not without reason that this farm was finally chosen by Wen Ziren as the location for Latent.

The farm is far away from the urban area, and no one will easily disturb it. The dilapidated facilities can also create a terrifying atmosphere with a sense of desolation.

In the United States, many horror legends actually originated from sparsely populated farm villages and towns.

Looking forward, Ronan suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

On the left side of the living area of ​​the farm, there is a wooden two-story building. I don't know what the previous owner thought, but the building was painted gray and black.

At the entrance of the main entrance of the building, a tree is planted, and a branch of the tree protrudes horizontally, across the mid-air directly in front of the building.

This kind of tree has an elegant name on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, called crooked neck tree.

Legend has it that it is specially used for hanging people who are desperate.

Ronan said to Finch next to him, Has anyone died here? An abnormal death.

No. Finch didn't quite understand why Ronan asked such a question, and exchanged a few words with the people next to him to confirm the answer: There has been no abnormal death here.

He asked with concern: Boss, is there something wrong?

Ronan shook his head slightly: It's okay.

At this moment, Wen Ziren walked over with a very old looking woman.

Hi, Ronan. Wen Ziren took the initiative to introduce: This is Rowling Warren, the special consultant of the crew. Rowling, this is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan looked at the old woman and shook hands with her: Hello, Mrs. Warren.

Although Rowling-Warren looks old and is engaged in a professional job like a magic stick, she looks more like a scholar. She smiled politely at Ronan: Hello, Mr. Anderson.

Wen Ziren interjected: Rowling accepted my invitation, and she will serve as a special consultant on the crew for the next few horror films.

Ronan nodded slightly: I believe Mrs. Warren's special experience will provide great help to the movie.

Mr. Anderson is too polite. Rowling-Warren has always been polite: This is also to justify Ed and me.

She said seriously: Ed and I have suffered too much criticism. Many people never believe the research we have done. This cause is very important to us.

An assistant director came over, Wen Ziren said a few words to him, whispered to Ronan, and went to the place where the crew was.

Rowling-Warren did not leave, but looked at Ronan curiously, and asked suddenly: Does Mr. Anderson believe that there are ghosts and evil spirits in this world?

Ronan said without hesitation: I have never considered this issue.

The answer was unexpected, Rowling-Warren couldn't help being stunned,

The rhetoric I prepared later got stuck in my throat, and I muttered in my heart, why didn't this person play cards according to the routine at all?

To believe is to believe, not to believe is not to believe, what is never considered?

Rowling-Warren did not give up easily, saying: Over the past fifty years, Ed and I have been considered the most outstanding experts in the field of spirituality and demonology in the United States. We have been repeatedly called by the church to investigate some domestic The phenomenon of evil spirits...

Ronan nodded slightly, and said, I heard James Wen talk about your situation.

Rowling-Warren smiled: In our careers, we have come into contact with more than 10,000 cases of supernatural events.

So? Ronan asked directly, What does Mrs. Warren mean?

Rowling-Warren said very seriously: If Mr. Anderson encounters confusion in the future, or some difficult events that cannot be solved, I can provide consultation and help.

Ronan understood what she meant, he regarded himself as a potential big customer!

Thinking about the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and looking at Steve Jobs, it seems that this is not a rare thing among the rich.

Ronan responded casually: If necessary, I will.

Rowling-Warren nodded slightly to Ronan, took the initiative to hand over the business card, then turned around and left without saying a word, which was very legendary.

Ronan glanced at the business card, and casually handed it to Finch next to him: When you encounter evil spirits and the like, go find her.

Finch put away the business card and said awkwardly, You don't believe what she said is true?

Ronan laughed: Even if there are ghosts, there is something suitable as a solution.

Finch was curious and asked, What?

Ronan shook his head and didn't speak. The curious Finch could only helplessly follow behind him.

There are some things that Ronan will not say casually. After all, this is a country that believes in God.

But having said that, many sayings on the other side of the Pacific are really wise sayings, such as money can turn ghosts.

In the super commercial society of North America, with Ronan's net worth and wealth, the role money can play is beyond imagination.

As for Rowling Warren and Ed Warren, it's really hard to comment. There are some things in this world that are unclear.

For example, many of his colleagues used to be firm materialists before they had children, but after having children, their positions immediately changed, because children have many diseases, and sometimes the role of medicine is not as good as imagined. Big, but it is something like a witch, which will have a prominent effect.

Ronan still remembers that a relative once came to the city where he worked to see a doctor for a child. After all kinds of examinations, there was no abnormality, but the child was not energetic and could not eat. Finally, the attending doctor hinted: Do you think about it outside the hospital? factor?

It sounds evil, I went back and asked someone to call twice, and the child will be fine...

This is what Ronan experienced personally, and he was extremely impressed.

It doesn't matter whether the Warrens' experience is true or not, what matters is that their experience is adapted into a movie, which can bring huge profits to Relativity Entertainment.

Accompanied by Finch and other bodyguards, Ronan walked around the farm.

This farm is very large, and there is a large grape plantation. Because no one takes care of it, the grapes are basically rotten in the field, and the smell of wine after rotting fruit wafts faintly from a long distance.

How many acres by eye? Ronan asked Finch.

Hmm... Finch made a rough estimate: It should add up to a thousand acres.

Ronan asked, Is it feasible to buy it and build a racecourse?

Finch thought for a while and said, Some procedures may be required.

Ronan said, Go back and say hello to Connie and ask her to collect relevant information.

It's not far from Beverly Hills. If the ordered helicopter is in place, it will take up to 20 minutes by plane.

As for the formalities and other issues, it is not a problem for Relativity Entertainment at all.

When it was close to noon, Wen Ziren, who was busy with work, came over, and Ronan simply had lunch with him.

I plan to use the bungalow on the east side of the farm to shoot Latent. Wen Ziren also planned the shooting use of this farm: The wooden building area on the west will happen to be used to shoot The Conjuring next year.

Ronan nodded slightly, and said: I feel that this farm is gloomy, and the atmosphere is very suitable for shooting.

Wen Ziren continued: I saw more than 20 locations before choosing this one because of its eerie atmosphere.

Ronan couldn't help laughing: I hope the actors won't be frightened when we shoot the night scene.

I vaguely remember that there used to be a person who told ghost stories and died of a sudden heart attack. There were rumors that he died of fright.

Wen Ziren said: No, the crew are all people who really love horror movies. He implied: Besides, we also have a special consultant, she is a professional.

Judging from the various materials collected by the crew, Rowling-Warren is indeed a professional, and more than one person from the church is willing to testify for her.

But no one can guarantee the specifics. Wen Ziren, who has in-depth contact with the Warrens, can only say that the other party is a supernatural investigator, and he doesn't know the rest.

In short, everything is for the needs of the movie.

After lunch and staying with the crew for a while, Ronan was about to say goodbye and leave.

Wen Ziren came to him suddenly and said, I heard that Director Huang has submitted a new project to the company, have you been pressing it?

Ronan knew he was talking about James Huang: I've been too busy recently, I haven't watched his project yet, I'll talk about it when I go back and read it.

Relativity Entertainment has cooperated with many Chinese directors, and these Chinese directors also help each other. Wen Ziren specifically mentioned James Huang, which is also a reminder.

Wen Ziren said again: I recently got news that James has started talking with 20th Century Fox about new project cooperation. If the company wants to continue to cooperate with him, it must act quickly.

Ronan knew that this was for the entertainment of the theory of relativity, so he said immediately: I'll go back and look at the project information first, how about the specifics, I will ask someone to contact James Huang.

He remembers very clearly that James Huang has stated that he will no longer direct the Death Comes series, and instead continue to pursue a new path.

In this regard, neither he nor Relativity Entertainment can stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.

After all, James Huang's director contract with Relativity Entertainment has expired, and he is a director who can choose freely.

Getting together and getting away together has always been Ronan's attitude towards directors, actors or other staff who have worked with him.

Even if the cooperation between the two parties ends, it is also possible to start a new cooperation in the future.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Ronan asked Connie to bring over James Huang's new project materials and look through them first.

Just seeing the name of the new project...

Dragon Ball!
