Chapter 27: Revising the New Script

"Hello."

Ronan also introduced himself, "I am Ronan Anderson, just call me Ronan."

　　 The two greeted each other and walked downstairs together.

　　 Katherine Heigl was also polite, "Ronan, I have seen you often these days.

Are you working here?"

　　 Ronan nodded slightly and said simply: "My crew is auditioning and has leased Warner's audition room and several offices."

　　My crew? Katherine immediately grasped the point.

　　 She tentatively asked, "Is it the crew of the "Human Removal Project"?"

　　 They were on the same floor, she had heard about this crew.

　　 Ronan said deliberately, "Yes, I'm the producer of this crew."

　　 Katherine's eyes widened: "You are such a young producer, which is rarely seen in Hollywood."

　　 "It's my own company." Ronan took the lead out of the stairwell, waited for Katherine Heigl to follow up, and continued,

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be a producer."

　　 Katherine's eyes flashed with a gleam of splendor.

The crew with a budget of tens of millions of dollars, and it's his own company...

　　 "Can I know which company it is?" She was only twenty years old, and she was a little straightforward

　　 Ronan remained silent, but was paying attention to the other party secretly, and said lightly, "Sand Sea Entertainment."

　　 The brilliance in Katherine's eyes dissipated.

The name of this company had never been heard before. It must be the kind of small company at the bottom of Hollywood.

　　In an instant, the curiosity and interest in Ronan diminished.

　　 Ronan didn't seem to have seen it, and said with emotion,

"It took me ten days to get 11 million U.S. dollars in investment.

Unfortunately, time is limited, otherwise more people would have invested in my project."

　　 Hearing this, Katherine scolded herself for being stupid, with a budget of 11 million dollars!

Is this something a small company can gather?

　　 She had guessed that this should be a startup film company.

　　 Katherine Heigl laughed immediately and said,

"It's already amazing to be able to attract tens of millions of dollars.

Ninety percent of the people in this circle can't do it."

　　 She said this sincerely, with sincere admiration in her words.

　　 Ronan just smiled and acted very humble, it seemed it was no big deal.

　　 Katherine Heigl looked at him, and she felt that this person was not easy.

　　 The two walked into the lobby on the first floor, and there were rapid footsteps behind them,

and a Latino man in his twenties chased from behind.

　　 "Miss Heigl." The man said anxiously:

"There are changes in the plan. Director Behring asked me to inform you that the dubbing will start at 8 a.m.w mornings."

　　 Katherine Heigl turned her head back, her smile instantly turned into frost, and said coldly, "I see."

　　 The Latino seemed to get used to her attitude and left quickly.

　　 Katherine turned back to face Ronan, and the cold expression turned into an enthusiastic smile,

"I've been working on the same floor as you recently."

　　 Ronan asked at the right time, "Are you an actor?"

"Yes."

Katherine Heigl came to the door and quickly stepped forward to open the glass door for Ronan.

After going out, she said,

"I have been working on the "Roseville" crew recently, um...I am the female Number Two."

　　 Ronan nodded: "The weight is very heavy."

　　 Catherine Heigl didn't think so: "It's just a TV show, not a movie."

　　 "Take your steps slow and steady." Ronan seemed to be serious and said:

"You can always find your right place."

　　 Katherine Heigl opened her mouth, wanting to ask if there is a suitable position for the "Human Removal Project",

But she endured it.

After entering the parking lot, she offered an invitation, "Would you like to have a drink together?"

　　 Ronan thought for a while, and said with regret: "Sorry, I have a job to deal with tonight, let's drink another day."

　　 "Okay, I'll call you another day." Catherine Heigl asked along the way,

"Your mobile phone number?"

　　 Ronan reported a string of numbers, then waved goodbye to Katherine Heigl,

He drove his Cadillac out of Burbank and returned to his apartment in North Hollywood.

　　 After a simple dinner and a shower, Ronan went to the study to turn on the computer and searched through the mailbox to find the mail from Glen Morgan.

　　 This is also the main reason why he refused the invitation of Katherine.

　　 After the final draft of the "Human Removal Project",

Glenn Morgan further improved the script of the "Final Destination".

This is the latest version and he wants to ask for his opinion.

　　Ronan can distinguish which was more important, the invitation of a beautiful woman or the project related to the company's development.

　　 Unlike the first version of the script he had seen before, the story of this version of the script was closer to that of the previous life movie.

Different from the first version of the script, the mortician appeared very few in this one, which aggravates the scene.

　　 Several major characters have also been adjusted.

For example, Carter Horton, who ranked fourth in the order of death, was initially set to be a grumpy person,

but after the change, he was set to be a hot-headed person with a cautious side.

　　 There are not many pages in the script, it was less than a hundred pages.

Ronan read it twice carefully and gave his opinion on his reply.

　　 This letter was duplicated and sent to Glen Morgan and James Wong.

Ronan's suggestion was simple.

The external form of the film should be as American as possible,

and the horror scenes should also be closer to the tastes of American horror film audiences.

With Limbs flying and heads bursting.

　　 These are of course commercial considerations.

　　 Ronan did a detailed investigation before going to Abu Dhabi.

When the audience's taste is important, horror films must not be stingy with the bloody scenes

　　 Like the most successful "Scream" series in recent years,

after adding youth and suspense elements, it still retains some of the characteristics of plasma films.

　　 There are obvious differences in the tastes of audiences in different regions.

　　 In the East, flying flesh and blood is more disgusting, not scary at all;

but most American audiences are often frightened by bloody and severed limbs.

　　 Strictly speaking, "Final Destination" can be regarded as a preliminary combination of Eastern and Western horror elements.

　　 There were very few oriental elements in previous life movies, and people who don't understand Eastern culture can't even feel it.

But the setting of the God of Death and various heavy-tasting death scenes would be easy for North American audiences to accept.

　　 Just like Chinese food must be Westernized when it reaches the West, since it is a business, it must be actively adapted to the market.

　　 After sending the e-mail, Ronan read the book for a while.

There are a lot of professional books on movie operations.

He benefited a lot from watching the professional content in the book and combining some movie operations in his memory.

　　 Hollywood has too many movies with mediocre creativity or content, but they rely on excellent business strategies to obtain huge profits.

　　 Ronan sometimes thinks very far and has a big goal.

Even saying it out would be ridiculed by others as a fantasy, but he is working hard in that direction.

Even if he fails to reach the goal, he can still achieve some success.

　　 Since he has the opportunity now, of course, he wants to stand high and look at the scenery from above.

　　 At this high place, some people will choose pure film art and some people will choose social welfare.

Ronan's choice is the Internet and commercial entertainment.

　　The difficulty was great and the risk would be greater.

　　 Just in case, Ronan never forgot his retreat plan.

　　 So, he opened the document again and examined the content that had been written in it: "Fifty Shades".

　　 The outline of the first part of this novel has already been completed, and the first 20,000 words have been revised several times.

Ronan even posted 6,000 words on his blog.

　　 Unfortunately, the number of readership views on this page was currently zero.

　　 Ronan logged in to the blog, and updated another 2,000 words,

Then closed the blog and started writing again with peace of mind.

　　 Ten fingers kept tapping the keyboard, and paragraphs of text gradually appeared on the screen.

　　 "I don't love anyone" Edward warned.

　　 Bella's breathing became rapid, her towering breasts undulated violently, and she asked, "Why?"

　　 Edward pulled her into the game room and said, "Because I only like to play!"

　　 Then, Ronan's fingers stopped above the keyboard.

　　 Next, he will write about the first female slave of the male lead, but Ronan's head was blank.

　　 It was not that he didn't know how to write, but there was no content to write.

　　 Art comes from life and is higher than life.

　　How can he write without any experience in this area?

　　 Sitting in front of the computer for half an hour,

Ronan wrote and deleted it, and after repeating it seven or eight times, he simply closed the document.

　　 He once again felt a serious lack of professional ability.

　　 How to strengthen it?

　　 Ronan thought for a while, but didn't have a clue for the time being,

Because he was so irritable at the moment reading a book, he had to go to sleep.

　　 The next day, he got up early for a morning run, bought breakfast outside, and rushed to the Warner Studios on time.

　　Today, he will negotiate with the agents of the main actors.

( I have not read or seen any of the "Fifty Shades" series, so I am just translating whatever is written in the original, so if there is any mistake correct me)
