That's the thing about a fledgling filmmaker who can't find the right people to talk to about his movie, even if you're nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Film. Jonathan Heap can't find a big studio

The senior management of the company is willing to listen to his project introduction.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, even if you win the statuette for the best short film, you are still a new newcomer in Hollywood.

Jonathan Shipp didn't have a good producer, and he had bad luck. In the end, he met Harold Ramis, who was known for his terrible character.

Although this Jew is very talented, he has always been known for deception. When Amy Heckerling was still with her ex-husband, he was coaxed into cheating on her, and finally gave birth to a child for Harold Ramis, etc.

He didn't care for the baby after it was born. It directly inspired Amy Heckerling to write the baby comedy "Look Who's Talking".

Of course, it is very difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between independent producers and liars. People who are talented and can inspire others are often scumbags who show mercy and refuse to admit their mistakes.

In short, Harold Ramis stole the core idea of ​​the "12:01PM" short film without giving Jonathan Shipp any chance to participate in the project.

As soon as the Hollywood Reporter published the news about the "Groundhog Day" project, Jonathan Shipp collapsed. He went to Harold Ramis to argue, but he kicked him out again. Harold Ramis was so embarrassed

The young man had no choice but to sell the project to a small company, Chenming Pictures.

The latter simply did not have the ability to produce such a large project. In the end, it looked for investment everywhere but failed, so it could only make a crude movie, sold it to Fox TV, and broadcast it as a TV movie.

"Let's talk to him and tell him I'm interested..."

Ronald closed the file and said to David Simkins.

…

"Mr. Li..." Jonathan Shipp, who came from New York overnight by economy class, is a handsome young man. He was very nervous when he saw Ronald, even though he was only five years younger than Ronald.

"I have heard what David said about your experience. I want to tell you that Hollywood is not all liars like Harold Ramis. You are very talented. Don't give up on your dreams because of this. That time loop

The core idea is amazing..."

Ronald poured him a cup of tea and gave him gentle words of encouragement. Jonathan Heap stammered his thanks, with a hopeful light in his eyes.

"I'm very interested in your extended version of the script. Although it has been made into a TV movie, not many viewers have seen it. Such a movie deserves more investment to shoot and be released in theaters so that more people can watch it.

People see it.”

"Mr. Li, I don't know what to say..."

"Then don't talk about it. I have worked hard to write the script. To meet the standards of a Hollywood commercial film, there are still some areas that can be reconsidered."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Ronald's words are equivalent to giving Jonathan Heap an insurance policy. As long as he rewrites the script to a satisfactory level, he can start the project.

"By the way..." Ronald asked casually, "Have you ever taken any legal action against Harold Ramis for such bad behavior?"

"I have considered it and discussed it with Richard Lupov, the original author of the novel, but I am just a nobody in front of him, and I don't have the money to hire a good enough lawyer... I can only swallow my stupidity painfully.

The consequences..."

"Actually, this is also a very bad behavior within the Screenwriters Guild. As long as you report it, there will be relevant investigations. I happen to know a few well-known lawyers in the entertainment industry. You can talk to them."

Ronald said, asking his assistant to contact Jonathan Shipp to help him contact a lawyer, "In addition, it is also a good choice to find news media exposure. Don't be afraid of these evil people. Honesty is the best witness. I think everyone understands this

a little."

"I will, thank you..." Jonathan Shipp was not stupid, and quickly reported his experience to the Eastern Writers Guild, and then contacted several Hollywood media, saying that there was a scandal to be exposed.

"Groundhog Day allegedly plagiarized former Oscar-nominated genius youngster..."
