The Best Entertainment Era

In mid-October, Relativity Entertainment released a film in North America that took nearly three years from preparation to filming to release.

This is an original project. In order to create the script, Lindsay-Bill not only spent more than half a year preparing, but also went deep into a special group to do actual research during the period, and truly experienced the ecology of that circle.

In many circles, when you are outside, you can't see the operating characteristics and industry conditions clearly. Only by going deep into them can you understand.

Therefore, Lindsay-Bill's adequate preparations laid a solid foundation for the film project.

When David Fincher signed the director contract, Lindsay Bill assisted David Fincher in doing a lot of practical research work. In order to avoid copyright conflicts, the crew even paid for the authorization of several real people.

Those women who dare to sell themselves for money don't care at all about selling their experience and earning another fortune.

For many women, as long as the first step is taken, they will only get deeper and deeper.

Not everyone can find an honest person to take over.

Besides, where are there so many honest men in this world?

Lindsay-Bill once said that that circle has a terrible and almost crazy assimilation ability. After staying with those people for a long time, watching their easy money-making methods and luxurious and luxurious life, it is inevitable that there will be something that should not be there. idea.

I am used to making money while lying down, but it is difficult to stand up again.

There is a saying that can describe the mentality of people in this industry - hold on to the pillow and support the wall, the pain is better than part-time work.

As one of the oldest industries of human beings, it is difficult to look at those people with normal social values.

Maybe people who go that route, like Lindsay Beale's classmates, don't care what other people think of her.

Although the film tells the story of an industry hidden in the dark, it has a radiant name - Sunshine Girl!

Director David Fincher is a director who never likes to take the bright road.

The premiere of Sunshine Girl was held in Los Angeles. Due to the presence of David Fincher, many people came to join in. The heroine Rachel McAdams also brought her boyfriend Ryan Gosling.

Invited by friends, Jessica Felton came to the premiere alone.

Where's Ronan?

In front of the theater entrance, Lindsay Bill looked at Jessica Felton who was alone and asked, Didn't he come?

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: He can't come. Robert Iger called him in New York. He went to New York the day before yesterday to deal with some work related to Wall Street.

Lindsay-Bill was somewhat disappointed: The initiator of Sunshine Girl is Ronan. He handed over this project to me. I didn't expect him to even come to the premiere.

Jessica Felton relieved: He is a person who forgets everything when he is busy with work.

Yeah. Lindsay Bill also knew Ronan to some extent: When I'm busy with work, I often throw your girlfriend aside.

Jessica Felton said with a smile: I'm almost like him.

Lindsay Bill smiled and said, Okay, I know you have a good relationship, so don't make me envious.

Jessica Felton pointed to the entrance of the theater: Okay, I'll go in first.

Entering the theater, Jessica Felton met Thomas, director of the theatrical distribution department of Embassy Pictures. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they knew each other and chatted briefly.

Wait until Thomas leaves,

A middle-aged woman with short hair at the ear came over.

Hi, Jesse. The middle-aged woman seemed very familiar with Jessica Felton.

Hearing a familiar voice, Jessica Felton turned her head and glanced, with a decent smile on her face, she said, Good evening, Coty, I didn't expect to meet you here.

The middle-aged woman who came was Diablo Cody, a screenwriter for Jessica Felton's previous film project Juno as a producer.

The two had worked together once, they were familiar with each other, and their relationship was pretty good.

Seeing people coming in one after another, Diablo Cody lowered his voice and said, Jesse, can we have a private chat in another place?

Jessica Felton was a little strange and asked, What's the matter?

It's a little thing. Diablo Cody said with a smile, I want to talk to you alone.

Jessica Felton is not the kind of super technical geek who doesn’t understand the world, especially since she officially communicated with Ronan, she has also worked hard in this area, and Diablo Cody is also an acquaintance who has successfully cooperated , Immediately said: You come with me.

After finding the staff of Embassy Pictures, Jessica Felton asked them to take them into a rest room.

It's just the two of us here. Jessica Felton sat on the sofa and said, Koty, you can just talk about it.

Diablo Cody thought for a while and said, The success of Juno helped me a lot. Jesse, I never said thank you.

Jessica Felton said generously: We are cooperating and we all want to succeed. You are too kind.

No, no, I really appreciate you very much. Diablo Cody suddenly changed his voice and said, After the success of Juno, I have enough qualifications to officially join the screenwriters union.

Hearing the name of the Screenwriters Guild, Jessica Felton suddenly remembered what Lindsay Bill had said a few days ago, and some things Ronan had mentioned.

It seems like there's been a lot of trouble surrounding the Writers Guild lately.

She cheered up secretly, and also had a guess that Diablo Cody might have some other purpose for coming here.

Diablo Cody looked at Jessica Felton, and said, Jesse, you know that with the union, our rights and interests are more secure.

Jessica - Felton smiled, but did not answer.

Diablo Cody thought of the solemn request of the chairman of the Screenwriters Union, and felt that he had enjoyed the power of the union and should fulfill the obligations of a union member.

Besides, if she can really achieve her goal, it will be of great benefit to herself.

Recently, there have been a lot of troubles surrounding the screenwriters' union, actors' union and directors' union. Diablo Cody tentatively said, I don't know if you've heard, but Hollywood may have a big blow to the entire industry. strike.

Jessica Felton said: Heard the rumors about that.

Diablo Cody said very seriously: This is not a rumor. I don't know much about the Screen Actors Union and the Directors Union, but the Screenwriters Union is really preparing to go on strike.

I'm not a member of the Writers Guild, Jessica Felton reminded.

Instead, she's part of the Producers Union.

Diablo Cody seemed not to have heard what Jessica Felton said, and continued: Once a strike happens, the damaged people are not only the screenwriters, but also the producers. Jesse, we are all this As a member of the industry, no one can stay out of it.

Her words are not without reason: I don't want a strike to happen, and you don't want to, either? And those behind-the-scenes staff who follow you, no one wants to see a strike happen, right?

Jessica Felton still smiled and didn't answer.

I am able to have today because of you and Relativity Entertainment, and I have always been very grateful. Diablo Cody knows how to be grateful: My cooperation with Relativity Entertainment not only brought me Juno The success of Let me see another thing, Relativity Entertainment is the busiest production company in Hollywood, once a strike occurs, Relativity Entertainment will suffer huge losses.

These words really sound very reasonable. If the industrial strike really happens, Relativity Entertainment will have at least a dozen projects shut down.

Jessica Felton can think of it, but it's equally clear that Ronan can think of it too.

Diablo Coty looked at Jessica Felton who was thinking, and added fire: I don't want to see Relativity Entertainment, which gave me a chance to succeed, suffer losses in vain, and even cut off its good development momentum. .From a personal emotional point of view, I cannot accept such a thing.”

There was emotion in her words: Although my strength is very small, I have been working hard, trying to contact everyone I know in the circle, and work together to prevent such a bad incident from happening. I think this can also help Relativity entertainment.

Jessica Felton said: I don't want to see a strike happen.

Hearing this, Diablo Cody seemed encouraged: Jesse, come on in, let's work together.

How hard? Jessica Felton shook her head slowly: In this kind of thing, my personal strength is very limited, and I can't see the direction of my efforts.

Diablo Cody spoke slowly: I think there is a way to prevent the worst from happening. She straightened her expression: Jesse, you have a huge influence in Relativity Entertainment, if you It can help Relativity Entertainment take the lead in reaching an agreement with the labor union, even if a strike occurs, it will not affect you.

This is quite euphemistic, but it also represents the fact that the producer alliance is composed of multiple Hollywood forces, and it is not impossible for one of the companies to reach an agreement with the labor union alone.

Jessica Felton smiled: You overestimate me, Coty, I am a producer, and I am only responsible for film production. I have no right to participate in other aspects of affairs, and I will not participate.

The meaning of this refusal was very obvious, but Diablo Cody did not give up: Jesse, you underestimate your influence...

Jessica Felton raised her hand to stop Diablo Cody from continuing, and stood up: I'm just a part-time worker.

Even a screenwriter like Lindsay Bill didn't want to get involved, let alone a producer like her who was an editor?

Why did this Diablo Cody come to her? Jessica Felton is not stupid, and it's not because of Ronan's relationship. .

Let her blow pillow wind on Ronan?

Jessica Felton is not that stupid, she never has an opinion when it comes to Relativity Entertainment.
