The Best Entertainment Era

On Monday morning, the sun in Los Angeles was already very bright. People in formal clothes can be seen everywhere near Century City in Foley Hills.

They hurriedly shuttled on Weischel Avenue, yelling at the phone with serious faces, or bowing their heads and frowning to think about problems. In a city like Los Angeles, which advocates leisure and is deeply influenced by hippie culture, they and the casual clothes around them People are in stark contrast.

Marvin was one of them, and was hurriedly walking towards a coffee shop.

He is not a simple white-collar worker, but an important part of the entertainment industry.

In the exaggerated words of some media, they are the torchbearers who light up the shining stars in Hollywood; they connect the creators of art and the industrial system, and they are the lubricant for the smooth operation of the giant Hollywood machine.

It's actually a Hollywood agent.

Marvin entered the coffee shop, took a brief look, and immediately came to the place where a blonde girl was, pulled out a chair and sat opposite.

This girl has blond hair and blue eyes, a sexy figure, and fatal curves. Although she looks young, she is already a typical American blonde.

The company's meeting has been delayed for a while. Marvin simply explained: Scarlett, I kept you waiting.

Scarlett Johansson asked directly: Has the box office statistics for Eight-legged Monster come out?

This is her first real attempt at a purely commercial film.

Ma Wen didn't answer, but instead asked: Didn't you read it? He reminded: I emailed you the statistics.

Yesterday I went out to meet up with my friends, and I came back late, so I didn't check my mailbox. Scarlett Johansson couldn't help yawning: I got up early this morning and rushed over, so I didn't have time to read it.

Marvin frowned slightly, and persuaded: Scarlett, you are currently on the rise. At this stage, the focus should be on acting career, drink less alcohol, and life...

I see. Scarlett Johansson directly interrupted the manager's words, not paying attention at all: I just hang out with friends, nothing else.

Marvin still said: I don't want to interfere with your private life, just to remind you.

Although this New York girl is not too old,

But the chaos of private life is simply breathtaking.

Scarlett Johansson is at the age of rebellion. She even wears a nose ring on her nose. She was a little impatient and said, Okay, I know, I will pay attention.

Ma Wen couldn't say more, and turned to answer Scarlett Johansson's previous question: The box office of Eight-legged Monster came out, 6.48 million US dollars.

That much? Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised: Surely it's not the box office champion?

Marvin shook his head: No...

Scarlett Johansson rushed to ask: The box office champion is Mice Boy 2?

No. Ma Wen was worried that the girl would steal the conversation again, This week's box office champion is Reaper 2, with 29.7 million US dollars.

He added: Must Boy 2 came in second with just over $15 million.

Scarlett Johansson has been in the industry for many years, but she has some experience: How is this possible? How can a sequel to a horror movie be better than a sequel to a family carnival?

Ma Wen said casually: There are always exceptions to everything. Facing such a problematic girl with potential, he still said patiently: Ronan Anderson's movie is a hit, it's not news anymore.

Scarlett Johansson had apparently heard the name too: The young producer?

Well. Marvin said: It is generally accepted in the circle that among the young producers, Ronan Anderson is the best, and his achievements in commercial films are scary.

Can we work with him? Scarlett Johansson was a little clever: I heard some time ago that there is a young actress in New York who is working with Ronan Anderson.

Marvin said truthfully: It's not easy. We have no intersection with Ronan Anderson, and we have no relationship.

Scarlett Johansson pulled down her nose ring and said, Isn't it easy? Don't relationships all come out of sleep? Sleeping a few times will deepen the relationship.

Marvin was speechless for a moment, but he didn't refute. He knew that Scarlett Johansson didn't care much about this. To be precise, it was more casual.

The general environment of the circle is like this, how can you get in the position if you don't work hard?

Marvin knew that apart from her Jewish identity, Scarlett Johansson had a mediocre background.

It’s not just a few people who do this, but a relatively common phenomenon. Female stars don’t have a godfather named Spielberg, no parents invest, no good family background, don’t have to find a way to sleep with the director Or a producer?

Let's not talk about Ronan Anderson, we won't be able to have a relationship with him in a short time. Marvin didn't think that a well-known producer would lack women, so he changed the subject: Scarlett, this time we are trying commercially. Not a success.

Scarlett Johansson said directly: What is not considered a success is clearly a failure.

Marvin was too lazy to bother with such troubled girls: So, let's go back to the literary route for now. He took out a script and handed it to Scarlett Johansson: I won you a chance to audition for the leading actress. Sophia Ko Paula's new film is looking for a young blonde actress for the leading role...

Speaking of the new job, Scarlett Johansson finally got serious, took the script and said, I will be ready.

Marvin pointed to her nose ring: Recently, I have removed all these things, otherwise it will affect Sofia Coppola's perception of you.

Scarlett Johansson could still tell the difference, waved her hand, and said, I see.

Reaper 2 sold well at the box office in the first weekend, which also ensured that Shahai Entertainment can continue to promote the sequel of the film. Ronan has reached a preliminary agreement with James Huang, and people from the company's legal department have begun to negotiate with James Huang. Broker Edward conducts negotiations.

At the same time, James Huang once again invited his good friend Glenn Morgan to write the script for Reaper 3.

Shahai Entertainment also announced the return of two important original staff at the right time, which is also a powerful stimulus for the release of Reaper 2.

By the second weekend, Reaper 2 earned another US$15.25 million in North America. Adding the income of the previous four working days, the film's total North American box office has risen to US$51.89 million.

Before this weekend, the North American screening of Underworld ended, the North American box office finally stopped at 79.21 million US dollars, and the global box office also exceeded 140 million US dollars.

Since overseas screenings have not yet ended, the total box office is expected to exceed 150 million US dollars.

Underworld 2 was also logically mentioned on the schedule.

In fact, the pre-planning of this film has already started under the control of Len Wiseman and Sandhai Entertainment's external production manager.

Len Wiseman hopes to have all filming done on the film by the end of the year.

Of course, this is not to say how much he cares about the time cost of Shahai Entertainment, but for the sake of his new girlfriend Kate Beckinsale.

In the face of the $160 million temptation of a leading actress in a top-level production, the persuasion of an irrelevant outsider like Ronan will not do much at all. Kate Beckinsale has already passed Stephen Sommers The leading actress auditioned, and will soon sign a formal contract with the crew of Van Helsing.

In order not to affect Xinhuan's participation in top-level productions next year, Len Wiseman is very motivated.

This is also in line with Ronan's request. Underworld 2 must be released before Van Helsing, otherwise the latter may drag down its own film.

Ronan also brought in Brian, the head of the screenwriting department, to discuss another project.

Create a new script based on the Death Comes series. Ronan said directly: The model is like Scream and Scream.

Brian immediately understood: Is it a funny version of Death Comes?

Ronan roughly said: The title of the film is Reaper is Gone. The theme is that Reaper wants to reap the lives of fugitives, causing many accidents but can't kill people anyway. On this basis, there are jokes.

He thought for a while, and then said: I'm not good at writing funny things, it's up to you guys to do it.

Brian wrote everything down in his notebook and said, No problem. He asked again, When will the project start to be planned?

Ronan thought for a while: After Reaper 3 is released.

Releasing another one will expand the influence of the series, and during this period of time, DVDs and TVs can be used to attract fans. After the third one is released, the series will inevitably cause a certain degree of aesthetic fatigue. After all, this model is very solid. Definitely put the series on hold for a while then.

During this interval, it happens to be filled with funny versions.

Brian said at this time: I will first mobilize people to do the preliminary preparations.

Ronan nodded first, and then reminded: Look more at the success models of Scream and Scream.

This is arguably one of the best series ever to turn horror into spoof.

Of course, there are successful models to learn from.

After Bryan left, Ronan was still thinking about this issue, and maybe he could add some classic spoofs to Death Gone, such as a person who escaped from the pursuit of death on a cruise ship, and a The rich girl fell in love at first sight. In order to kill him, the god of death did not hesitate to send an iceberg in the direction of the ship. In the end, the rich girl sank into the sea, and the poor boy survived...

The plot on the cruise ship can also be interspersed with various spoof plots, such as great white sharks, piranhas and so on.

Recording these messy thoughts on the computer memo, Ronan planned to wait for a while to collect more before sending it to Brian.

Connie knocked on the door and came in. An invitation was placed on the desk, and she said, Mr. Lord of CAA invited you to a dinner party.

Ronan opened it, took a look, and said, Reply to Lord, and I will attend. He continued, Connie, collect some information about Dark Horse Comics and give it to me before this weekend.
