The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 418: The Chainsaw
Two, please sit here for a while.
In the Relativity Entertainment Company, Connie brought Wen Ziren and another white man of his age to the reception room, and said, You guys came too early, Ronan usually doesn't arrive at the company until 8:30.
Connie didn't know the white man, but she knew Wen Ziren. She was also at the banquet hall last night and knew that Ronan had chatted with this man for quite a long time.
But Ronan has been stuck in coming to the company recently, and rarely comes early.
As Ronan's number one assistant, Connie knows very well that Ronan and Anne Hathaway have been having a heated fight recently, and Anne Hathaway has already lived in Ronan's manor.
Could it be that Relativity Entertainment really needs one more celebrity proprietress?
Connie had two cups of coffee delivered to the reception room, then dismissed the idea.
Anne Hathaway is indeed very beautiful, and she has face when she is taken out. Her straightforward personality is very pleasing, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect a powerful figure who faces countless Hollywood actresses to settle down because of her.
Men, when the fight is hot, they love each other, and the freshness wears off, and they will soon change their targets.
Connie opened the makeup mirror and took a look. Fortunately, she was of average appearance, and she gained Ronan's trust by virtue of her ability, so she didn't have to worry about those messy things in Hollywood.
In the reception room, Wen Ziren looked at his watch from time to time, with an unconcealable sleepiness on his face, obviously he didn't have a good rest last night.
The white man next to him frowned tightly, flicking through the script in his hand nervously, yawning from time to time, not much better than Wen Ziren.
Wen, is there really hope? Ray Warner couldn't help confirming again: It won't be the same as before, right?
Wen Ziren yawned, shook his head vigorously, pulled himself together, and said, He didn't read the script, he just listened to me tell the story. I don't know if I can impress him, but this is always an opportunity.
He also emphasized: At least Ronan Anderson is not like those producers we have contacted before, who didn't even give him a chance.
Ray Whannell thought of hitting a wall one after another before, and he didn't know where he flew with confidence in an instant. He was a little bit decadent, and said: This is the first time. It's too difficult. It's different from what I thought. Before coming to Los Angeles, I I feel that with the talents and abilities of the two of us, relying on the script in hand, even if it is difficult to get investment from the film company, it will not be too difficult, who knows...
Wen Ziren shook his head: We underestimated the difficulty, which is why we are in such a predicament. He seemed to understand a lot of things: Film talents from all over the world are concentrated in Hollywood, and countless people are looking for opportunities, but the annual investment of Hollywood film companies Limited, those who can get investment are those famous people, leaving too few opportunities for newcomers.
I have come to Los Angeles from Australia for a few months, and I have a general understanding of the situation. How many of those new Hollywood directors are real new directors? Before becoming a film director, most people have worked in the advertising industry or the V industry for a long time.
Few have any real experience as he and Ray Whannell.
There was a knock on the door of the reception room, and someone came in. Wen Ziren looked up, stood up quickly and said, Good morning, Mr. Anderson.
Ronan went over to shake hands with him: Good morning, Wen.
He turned his head to look at the white man, and because of the profound influence of Chain Saw, he quickly recognized that he was one of the two leading actors in the film.
Wen Ziren quickly introduced: This is my friend, and also Ray Warner, who worked with me to create the script.
Ronan shook hands with Ray Warner again, exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly got to the point.
Wen, yesterday you told me the outline of the story. Ronan asked directly, Did you bring the script?
Bring it. Ray Warner hurriedly handed the script to Ronan.
Ronan glanced at the script, and the three letters sa on the cover were extremely eye-catching.
This is the English name of Chain Saw.
Ronan asked, Is this a script based on your childhood nightmares?
Wen Ziren nodded,
Ray Whannell continued: Darkness, death, surprise, and blood have always been things that Wen and I have been very interested in since we were young. We have liked watching horror movies since we were young, like The Exorcist, The Shining, Ghost Driven these classic horror films of the 1970s and 1980s.
He smiled and said: These films have caused many terrifying dreams. Many details of this script are based on our unforgettable nightmares and childhood experiences.
It is very obvious that Ray Whannell tried his best to tell the hard-won script, hoping to attract Ronan's attention.
Ronan nodded, opened the script and read it carefully. The script is not thick, only about eighty pages.
After a quick scan, Ronan quickly summed up the theme of the film. The protagonist has a high IQ and a successful career, but one day he is diagnosed with cancer and his time is numbered. And he saw that there are too many people around him, who originally had a healthy body, but squandered their lives recklessly, so he set up puzzles one by one, so that those lost lambs in his eyes can understand the meaning of life instead of wasting time .
This is a madman who claims to be God: Human beings are desperate to sacrifice part of themselves to waste time, so Jigsaw tortures these people's bodies to make them understand the importance of life.
Although the script is still relatively rough and there are flaws in many places, this is undoubtedly Chain Saw.
Ronan closed the script and asked, Do you have a project proposal?
Ray Warner was stunned for a moment, and Wen Ziren shook his head slightly: We...we don't have it for the time being.
Ronan asked again: Wen, do you want to sell the copyright of the script?
No, no, no! Wen Ziren hurriedly said, Ronan, we are not trying to sell the copyright of the script.
He glanced at Ronan, knowing that what he said next was a bit outrageous, but he summoned up his courage and said, I want to direct this project. I know this kind of request is a bit too much. Neither Ray nor I have the experience of directing a formal feature film, but no one Knows our own script better than we do.
Ronan seemed unmoved, and Wen Ziren can undoubtedly be classified as a genius, but he cannot pay a price that is inconsistent with the present because of the future, so the consideration is how to make Wen Ziren stay in the Theory of Relativity for a long time. Entertain on board.
Wen Ziren thought that Ronan would give up like the previous producers when he heard the request to be a director, and said: After graduating from film school, I was troubled by basic survival problems. Like many people, I was working on my own Work without the slightest enthusiasm.
He continued: Unknown and poor, even though Ray and I wanted to make movies and had a lot of crazy ideas in our heads that had yet to be realized, we didn't have the money to turn those ideas into something real. We went on. A job that we don’t like, but at the same time we work hard to save money and get together to save some simple but exciting ideas.”
Ray Warner also had a bad feeling.
Wen Ziren tried his best to fight for it: We only need a small budget, and we can shoot a movie that scares the five big and three thick men into screaming!
You guys are passionate about movies, I can feel that. Ronan put down the script and seemed to have made a decision: Wen, and Lei, even though your scripts are not refined enough and have flaws, I am willing to thank you for your enthusiasm. and passion investing.
Uh... Ray Warner was stunned.
Wen Ziren came to his senses, and asked in disbelief, This... is this true?
Ronan smiled and said, I am willing to invest in your project, investing in Chain Saw.
Ray Warner finally reacted, turned around and hugged Wen Ziren tightly, and said incoherently: Wen, did you hear that? We succeeded? We succeeded!
Wen Ziren was also very excited, perhaps because he came from an Eastern family. His emotions were not as extroverted as Ray Warner's. He tried his best to control his boiling mood and said, Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Thank you for giving us a chance .”
Ronan said, Don't be too busy thanking me, there are some things we need to talk about first, after all, I am a film investor and I have to be responsible for the entire company.
Of course. Wen Ziren and Ray Warner said in unison: We understand.
Ronan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: You need to sell the script to Shahai Entertainment. Within US$1.5 million. Wen, and Lei, if the film is successful, I hope to make it into a series of films like Death Comes, so you need to sign a long-term contract with Shahai Entertainment. In addition, the two are newcomers, and your script copyright Fees and remuneration are limited...
Wen Ziren and Ray Whannell looked at each other and said, We sold the script to Shahai Entertainment for $1, and I don't need the director's salary...
Ronan was a little strange, did Wen Ziren really have to fight for this director position?
Before he could speak, Wen Ziren said again: Mr. Anderson, I know that too much investment will bring huge risks to the production company. We can give up the basic director's remuneration. Our remuneration is paid in the form of profit sharing in the later stage. If the film If it does not bring profit, we give up all compensation.”
Ronan didn't change his face, but he raised his vigilance in his heart, but thinking that Wen Ziren and Ray Warner were out-and-out newcomers, it shouldn't be intentional, but he wanted to reduce investors' doubts in this way to ensure that they can get the crucial directorship.
If it were someone else, they might agree to Wen Ziren's conditions. After all, the risk of a new movie is too great.
But how could Ronan agree?
You don't need to do this. Wen, you also need to live, and you have to get what you deserve. Ronan said beautifully: This risk, Shahai Entertainment and I can still afford it. If you want To reduce the pressure on the producers, we will do our best to complete the film.
