The Best Entertainment Era

As a spoof movie, the cost of Death is Gone is of course not high. Sandsea Entertainment only offered a production budget of 6 million US dollars. Ronan's first task is to find a suitable director for the project.

Must be a director who is good at the comedy genre.

Since the first half of the year, Shahai Entertainment posted recruitment notices, and it was not until the beginning of August that the most suitable candidates were found.

From a bunch of applicants, Ronan selected a young director named Jason Friedberg in his early thirties.

This director, who has never directed any official feature film alone, was able to impress Ronan. The most important thing is that he took out a funny experimental short film directed and shot by himself, which is very interesting as a spoof of the Oscars ceremony.

On the other hand, his resume is also an important factor to impress Ronan.

Jason Friedberg is a rookie director, but not a newcomer. He has extremely rich experience in comedy creation. Since the mid-1990s, he has been the first signed screenwriter to create Ultimate Laughter Explore.

Later, he wrote the scripts of the Scary Movie trilogy one after another.

As a typical spoof comedy, the success of Scary Movie is well known.

Like all screenwriters with ideals and ambitions, Jason Friedberg did not want to continue to stay in the screenwriting industry. Since the first part of Scary Movie, he has been deeply involved in the creation of films, and has successively served as executive director. Producer, assistant director and assistant director.

Jason Friedberg is already preparing for his directing career.

But the Scary Movie trilogy was completed, the series came to an end temporarily, and Jason Friedberg's road to spoof comedies was also temporarily interrupted.

So, when he saw that the Death Gone project was recruiting a director, he immediately approached Shahai Entertainment.

At the same time, Sand Sea Entertainment has also finalized two fat actors, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, as the leading roles.

After Sandsea Entertainment signed a trilogy contract with Jason Friedberg, Jason Friedberg was not very satisfied with the original script. Ronan authorized him to modify and recreate the script.

Jason Friedberg has a successful creative model and is more trustworthy than other screenwriters in the same genre.

After confirming that Jason Friedberg was the director of Death Gone, Ronan handed over the project to Shahai Entertainment.

Sandsea Entertainment has a very mature mode of operation.

In the office on the top floor of the Relativity Building, Ronan welcomed Lindsay Bill who came to visit, and she brought a middle-aged female writer.

How is The Devil Wears Prada going? Ronan seldom directly participates in the specific work of a certain crew, anyway, the final editing right has always been with him.

Lindsay Bill said: The screenwriting work over there is basically completed. I am more involved in some production work, and I am also assisting director David Fincher to revise the script.

Ronan nodded, and looked at the shooter who replaced Lindsay Bill. Lindsay Bill was always responsible for the communication and creation of the three sequels.

This is Laura Bright. Lindsay Bill worried that Ronan would not remember the shooter: Your personal hired ghostwriter.

Ronan said, Sit whatever you want.

Lindsay Bill put the printed manuscript on Ronan's desk and said, All three works have been completed according to your requirements. This is the manuscript.

Ronan didn't open it and asked, Lindsay, what do you think?

Very good. Lindsay Bill glanced at the woman in her thirties: I think Laura has done well.

Ronan thought for a while, and said directly: You contact Random House and choose a suitable time to publish it.

Lindsay Bill felt Ronan's newcomer again, showing a delicate smile: No problem.

Laura Bright couldn't speak in front of Ronan. At this moment, she looked at Lindsay Bill and winked at Lindsay Bill frequently.

Lindsay-Bill chatted with Ronan for a few words about publishing, and said: Laura wrote a book by herself and wants to try to publish it.

Ronan nodded and said, You recommend Random House.

Lindsay Bill understood what Ronan meant: Okay.

As for whether Random House will publish it or not, it depends on the quality.

Laura Bright quickly said, Thank you, Mr. Anderson.

Ronan was very polite to outsiders: You're welcome.

Lindsay - Bill did not stay here, and soon left with Laura - Blair.

Ronan also read the manuscript of Laura Bright's work, but he didn't have any impression of the title or content.

For the rest of the representative manuscripts, Ronan simply flipped through them and put them aside. He has worked with Lindsay Bill for several years, and he still has some trust in her.

When the manuscript is published, The Hunger Games, Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey will all be collected.

The copyright is already in hand, just waiting for the subsequent film adaptation.

Ronan suddenly remembered, it seemed that these once popular movies also had spoof movies, he forgot the others, and only remembered a movie called The Hunger Games.

Thinking of this, Ronan remembered more about spoof movies, such as This Is Not Sparta, Fast and Furious and so on.

Hollywood spoofs, like the San Fernando Valley versions of hit movies, are as unique a genre.

A film studio in the San Fernando Valley has already approached Shahai Entertainment, wanting to purchase the remake copyrights of The Bourne Man and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hollywood manufacturers have never refused in this regard, and almost all popular movies can find corresponding San Fernando Valley versions.

Sandsea Entertainment is also seriously negotiating copyright fees with the San Fernando Valley film.

In fact, this is also a peripheral income of Hollywood movies.

Speaking of it, the scale of related industries in the San Fernando Valley is no smaller than that of Hollywood, or even worse.

Although the back door of Hollywood has never been the San Fernando Valley, actors who enter the San Fernando Valley basically mean that they will never have anything to do with Hollywood, but the two parties have always cooperated. In addition to copyright authorization, Hollywood occasionally looks for actors from the San Fernando Valley Starred in some late-night dramas and large-scale experimental films on cable channels.

For example, Stephen Soderbergh, a famous bald director, has used female artists from the San Fernando Valley as leading actresses in experimental films.

Plus, something like a Playboy reality TV show uses more San Fernando Valley actors.

Also, on the famous Wilshire Avenue in Beverly Hills, which is the long street where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is located, there are many casting offices for San Fernando Valley companies.

There are too many people with movie dreams. Some newcomers to Los Angeles thought they were recruiting regular movie actors, and after being lured by sweet words, they embarked on this road of no return.

There are also some actors who have worked hard in Hollywood all year round. They know what this place is, but because of the pressure of life, they walked in.

They often have such a mentality: I am shooting this just for a temporary meal...

After eating this bowl of rice, the bowl sticks to my hand and I can't take it off.

But there are only a very small number of people who can become artists who have heard of it.

Shahai Entertainment will release films such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Transformers, The Avengers, The Fast and the Furious, The Devil Wears Prada, etc., all of which can be licensed to the San Fernando Valley.

Anyway, this is one of the basic peripheral operations of Hollywood, and it will not lower the style of Relativity Entertainment.

How can you say that the style is low when it comes to art?

Many actresses in Hollywood are dedicating their lives to art, and the actresses in the San Fernando Valley are also dedicating their lives to art.

Of course, the places of dedication of the two may not be the same, because the latter is often in front of the camera lens.

On the seventh floor of the Relativity Building, the Fast and Furious crew office, Jessica Felton came here after finishing work on Pirates of the Caribbean.

After Fast and Furious ruled out the possibility of working with Vin Diesel, it quickly stopped the backup plan and fully prepared another plan, even though Jessica Felton, as a producer, also had to take care of Pirates of the Caribbean The post-production of the sequel, but the preparations for Fast and Furious 3 have also accelerated.

Sandsea Entertainment is negotiating with Dwayne Johnson, who finished filming Prison Break, to sign a longer film contract with this tough actor.

Since Vin Diesel's character will die, there is no need for his girlfriend to appear in the sequel. The crew did not discuss the film contract with Michelle Rodriguez, but planned to replace it with a more suitable vase actor.

Negotiations between Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster are also progressing at the same time.

Sand Sea Entertainment is also striving for a long-term contract.

Jessica Felton came here because two directors who have worked with Shahai Entertainment for a long time contacted her through the company and planned to jointly recommend a director.

Walking into the office, Jessica Felton shook hands with two Chinese directors, one tall and one short: Hello, Director Huang. Hello, Director Wen.

James Huang and James Wen also responded enthusiastically.

They knew very well that the Latin woman in front of them seemed to be a type with big breasts and no brains. In fact, in the entire production system of Relativity Entertainment, the power was second only to Ronan Anderson and George Clint.

As for the Fast and Furious project, she is basically in charge of it.

Please sit down, both of you. Jessica Felton looked at them and asked, George called me yesterday and said that you two want to recommend a director to the crew?

James Wen looked at James Huang, who had a deeper relationship with Shahai Entertainment, and said, Yes, there is a Chinese director who is very suitable for this project. If possible, can Miss Felton interview him ?”

Chinese directors in Hollywood are also forming a circle, and Ang Lee, who tends to be more literary, doesn't participate too much. The two of them are currently the core of the circle.
