"Have you bought so many books?"

In the office, when he saw Ronan coming in with a stack of books in his arms, Mary hurried forward to help: "Is he so haggard again?"

Ronan's hair was messy, and he had two large dark circles, so he didn't have a good rest at first glance.

"I have to do too much work recently." He didn't care much. It was normal for him to work harder in the entrepreneurial stage. He entered the office, put the book he had held on the table, took it from Mary, and said, "I revised the script last night and forgot the time."

The company has just gotten back on track these days and there is too much work to do, so the revision of the script can only be put at night.

Mary made him a cup of coffee and looked through the books: "Are you studying?"

These are professional books in the industry, from law to production to script creation, and there are several collections of successful cases.

Ronan nodded: "I only realized that I had a lot worse ability after the last failure."

Foresight is an advantage, and one's own ability is the foundation. The former affects his future upper limit, while the latter can directly define the lower limit.

To run a film company and be a successful producer, it is far from enough to rely on past memories alone.

Ronan has decided to pick up the textbooks that he had put down his past years in his previous life and learn to strengthen his professional knowledge.

Although he has been a small producer across the Pacific Ocean, it is completely different from Hollywood.

In the past week, he has only slept for about six hours a day, read books and revised scripts at night, handled various company affairs during the day, and occasionally had some free time, and continued to enrich himself.

Like entertainment laws and industry regulations, these are not familiar with each other. As producers and production company owners, you must have a clear understanding.

For example, if the screenwriter union does not understand, he would not know that this is the industry union with the highest entry threshold in Hollywood.

If you want to join the screenwriter union, you need to appear in the cast and crew list of at least 24 crews within the first three years of application, including the experience of signing contracts with the company and taking on creative work, or the experience of selling text works.

In other words, even if he is a screenwriter who released a film, he is not qualified to join the screenwriter union.

In addition to studying and working normally, Ronan also picked up the interpersonal network that Anderson was disdainful to him, and had visited old Anderson's friends and business partners for three consecutive afternoons.

Yesterday, when he went to Qingxin Online Film to get a commission on the copyright of TV and videotapes in "The Jedi", he visited Robert Shay specifically.

There is no harm in having more connections.

Anderson little didn't know it.

There is no doubt that Hollywood is a very talented circle, but as a newcomer, it is a bit whimsical to rely on its talent and talent.

Luo Nan knew very well that countless geniuses died on the road to entrepreneurship.

"Aren't you looking for a suitable party?" Mary put an invitation letter on her desk: "This is a high-end banquet organized by DreamWorks. It is said that many celebrities in the entertainment and fashion circles will attend. I only got it with my relationship. The ticket is as high as $3,000."

Ronan picked up the invitation letter and looked at it. It actually contained David Geffen's signature and immediately said, "This money is put into the account of the Human Purge Plan."

The ticket for $3,000 is really expensive, and the ticket for this year's Oscar Night Party is only $5,000.

You must have a certain qualification to pay for this type of ticket, not everyone can buy it.

Anyway, there are Arabs who pay the bill, and Ronan doesn't feel sorry for him.

In the morning, Ronan was not idle. He interviewed six people who came to the company to apply for the job, reviewed a preliminary financial expenditure for the Human Purge Plan formulated by Mary, and took a break from his busy schedule to read the California Entertainment Act.

In the afternoon, he temporarily put down his work and talked with the three directors who came to apply for the job.

These three directors are not members of the director's union, and it is not in line with industry regulations to directly contact production companies to find jobs. However, there are many chaotic things in the independent film circle, and this problem is not a problem at all.

Unfortunately, these three have no qualifications and no relevant work experience.

Strictly speaking, I just shot experimental videos at school and I haven't even been exposed to MV shooting.

Since Ronan certainly wanted to succeed in operating the project "Human Purge Plan", so he directly rejected these three.

Ronan has not had much experience at all, and he has limited production experience in his previous life. If he finds a director with no experience, the film will be 90% of the time.

This is definitely not something that can be successful by writing a script for a popular movie in the past life, and then calling a director to shoot it.

Ronan needs to learn and enrich himself, and also accumulate experience. Finding a better director will undoubtedly increase the chances of success of the project.

He thought the most ideal candidate was David Finch, but he could only think about it. After all, the real budget of the project did not even have 2 million US dollars.

This is actually a paradox. Directors with slightly successful experiences are not cheap. Cheap directors have basically never proved themselves.

The recruitment advertisements sent by Shahai Entertainment have played a role. In addition to the candidates who come to the door to recommend themselves, several small agency companies have sent a list of their directors, actors and other positions.

Ronan specifically paid attention to the director and actors. The actors had a few familiar names, but the directors did not have any.

In Hollywood, good directors are a more scarce resource than good actors.

In the next few days, Ronan met five more directors, and the situation was similar to the previous three.

It’s not that there are agents from second- and third-tier directors who have contacted Ronan, but when they see their offer, Ronan no longer considers it.

Like the directors and actors offered by several medium and large agency companies, the real budget for the entire project is higher,

In the circle, some situations can be vaguely felt without saying that after Ronan refused multiple intention quotes in succession, the project quickly disappeared from the perspective of medium and large brokerage companies.

What really made progress in Shahai Entertainment was the recruitment of ordinary employees. After a few days of interview, Luo Nan finalized several new employees.

The weekend was coming soon, and Ronan asked the stylist Mary recommended to make a new hairstyle and came to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills with a refreshing look.

The banquet was called in the name of DreamWorks, and even outside the hotel, you can see some famous people.

As soon as Ronan entered the hotel lobby, he met Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Because there was a distance between them, I vaguely heard Kate Winslet let Leonardo leave first, who would she wait for?

Then, Leonardo left directly.

The purpose of Ronan attending the banquet is to expand his social circle. He doesn't ask for anything else, but first get familiar with some people. His connections are also very important in Hollywood.

"Good evening, Miss Winslet." He came directly to the shredded pork and greeted politely, "We're meeting again."

Kate Winslet shook hands with Ronan and responded politely: "Hello, I'm happy to see you again."

Hearing this, Ronan immediately understood that Kate Winslet had forgotten who he was.

Ronan showed no displeasure and said, "I am Ronan Anderson, we have seen it at the 20th Century Fox's thank-you party."

"Yes, I remembered it." Kate Winslet remembered who this handsome handsome guy was, and said with a friendly smile: "Call me Kate. Can I call you Ronan?"

Unlike the role he plays, this British actress looks very well-educated, at least on the surface.

"Of course," Ronan said with a smile: "Kate, I am your loyal fan."

Kate Winslet's eyes passed over Ronan and looked behind him. Ronan was very conscious and immediately said, "I'm going to the banquet hall and I'll talk again if I have time."

"Okay." Kate Winslet responded with a smile.

This person gave her a good impression. Not only was she outstanding in appearance, she was also very sensible.

Ronan walked past Kate Winslet and looked back. A strong man with a beard had already walked to Kate Winslet, and Kate Winslet took the initiative to hold his hand.

This is not a polite arm holding, but a finger-to-handed link!

The banquet is considered a public place, and this gesture undoubtedly shows that the strong man is at least Kate Winslet's boyfriend.

"I said, keep your distance from Leonardo!" The man's voice came from was quite annoyed, "Do you think there are not enough scandals?"

Kate Winslet seemed a little helpless: "Leo came over to say hello, I always have to say a few words to him, right?"

Luo Nan quietly slowed down. This gossip aroused his interest somewhat. It is not difficult to judge from these two sentences that the pork shredded pork was actually in a weak position.

The man became even more annoyed: "I don't like that guy with greasy head and flour! He's very annoying!"

Kate Winslet's voice was a little soft: "Jim, we're all engaged."

"If he harasses you, I will make him look good!" The man's words didn't seem to be joking: "I will let him know how powerful British men's fists are!"

Kate Winslet persuaded him a few more tactfully, and the man snorted heavily and stopped talking.
