Chapter 174 Deadly Curve

As the sun had just climbed up from the horizon, Ronan came out of the apartment building where Priyaca Chopra was, drove to Burbank, arrived at Thirteenth Street where Shahai Entertainment was, and first found a restaurant for breakfast.

It took a lot of energy last night. When he came out, Priyaca Chopra was still sleeping.

Perhaps because of his older mental age, while eating breakfast, recalling Priyaca Chopra's meticulous service last night, Ronan secretly sighed that the young and beautiful girl was really wonderful.

This is the pursuit of life.

Money, power and beauty, who can refuse normal men?

Especially when beautiful and sexy girls try their best to please you, the enjoyment in them makes people addicted.

It's still a young and beautiful girl that suits him.

Is it because I am older, so I like girls?

There is a saying in my previous life that is very good, uncle loves luoli.

Luo Nan stopped quickly and did not dare to think deeply. If he thought too much, he would easily do something worse than beasts.

It seems that the problem is not big if he is over 16 years old? He doesn't know much about this, so he went back to ask lawyer Dinah Ampton.

Ronan has read the relevant contents such as Hollywood's industry regulations and entertainment bills, but who can go through the law while idle and check if you have sex with a girl under how old it will be a crime?

After breakfast, Ronan calmed down his mind. After entering the company, he turned his mind to work.

Shahai Entertainment has expanded its scale several times. Including the screenwriter team as a temporary employee, there are more than fifty people. The original office has been unable to be placed. One of the two small companies next door moved out and the other went bankrupt. Ronan asked someone to rent it directly. The smaller one was specially used for the creation of the temporary screenwriter team, and the other was handed over to the most important production department for use.

At the earliest, less than ten people were left in the big office. Outside Ronan's office, a separate cubicle was added, and two workstations were placed inside. Assistant Connie and her deputy worked here, it was also convenient for Ronan to arrange work at any time.

This is the only way to go on temporary basis.

Ronan also wants to own a whole building that belongs to his own company as an office building, just like Walt Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, as a whole building that belongs to his own company, but at this stage, he can only think about it. He cannot put a large amount of money on such fixed assets. Only when the funds move in and out can they get more profits.

Independent office buildings can only be used as future plans.

Ronan entered the office and Connie immediately sent a cup of hot tea.

"Please contact me with a real estate agent," said Ronan. "Let them contact me on the weekend."

Connie immediately took a note and asked, "What type of real estate agent?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "It is best to be a private villa for agents, and the property is in a quiet neighborhood."

"I understand." Connie left.

In recent times, Nasdaq has fluctuated slightly, but the overall situation remains upward, but the situation is very obvious, and stock market crashes may occur at any time.

Although Ronan doesn't know the time of the collapse, and does not know the specific process, it is not difficult to find problems in the stock market if he can analyze it slightly.

I guess some people have already started to get out.

But more people are still fanatical.

The same thing is said, huge interests blind people's eyes and make many people think that even if there is a problem, Nasdaq can last for a long time, and someone will definitely be the takeover later.

After Ronan visited Scott's villa, he always wanted to change to a quiet independent villa, so that privacy is guaranteed, and it is more convenient to do something secret in the future.

Now take time to check out the house. After the stock market collapses, maybe there are people among them who want to sell real estate and raise funds as soon as possible.

I don’t know how many people in the United States want to jump off buildings.

Popular suicide sites, such as the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, may rain human dumplings.

A knock on the door sounded, Ronan said, please come in, and Lindsay Bill walked in.

Ronan pointed to the chair opposite: "Please sit."

Lindsay Bill pulled out the chair and sat down, saying, "I have completed the first draft of "Twilight" and sent all the rest to your email address. Take time to check it out."

"Very good." Ronan did not stingy with praise: "Linsae, you did a very good job, faster than I expected."

He opened his email, glanced at the newly received email, and nodded with satisfaction: "I will take time to read it. You can rest for a few days first, keep your phone open, and I will contact you at any time."

Lindsay Bill said: "Okay."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Contact Mary and settle the bonus with her."

When it comes to giving money to encourage, Ronan is never stingy.

The smile instantly crawled onto Lindsay Bill's beautiful face: "Thank you."

Ronan smiled: "This is what you deserve."

Lindsay Bill left Ronan's office with satisfaction. Her weekly salary of $1,000 plus a $10,000 bonus for completion. If you count it carefully, her income during this period is higher than that of most screenwriters in the industry.

If you can publish later, there will be a publishing bonus...

It seems that I can repay the student loan in one go.

After a few days off, quickly finish the rest of the Hunger Games and "Fifty Shadows of Grey".

Through this period of observation, Lindsay Bill confirmed that Ronan was a very credible person and that none of the promised conditions failed. After writing these two books, will he be able to return to the screenwriter's old profession?

The film screenwriter is her pursuit in Hollywood, even if the screenwriter is more restricted than writing.

If a family encounters difficulties caused by picky editors, they can ignore it and their works can still be published, but no screenwriter in Hollywood has the final say.

For example, at the discussion meeting, the story created by the screenwriter worked hard and constructed by the producers would always be easily defeated by a few words: "In the end, which guy chased that woman? Where was the action? What was the funny point? Who is the big bad guy behind the scenes?"...

So the angered screenwriter could no longer bear it, and then walked out of the conference room without looking back, and never gained a foothold in Hollywood again.

But most screenwriters will obediently go back and make modifications until their boss is satisfied.

Lindsay Bill knew very well that he could write a simple outline now that he should be able to do similar screenwriters.

The scripts of Hollywood movies are just flowing homework, and originality is not the primary problem. The producer’s general requirement is that it can be directly used for shooting after writing, the dialogue should be smart, the story should be told clearly and coherently, and entertaining, which is enough.

There are usually no less than ten screenwriters participating in a film, but in the end only two can sign their names in the script author column.

As for writing a script alone, Lindsay Bill has not considered it yet.

In Hollywood, there is only one of at least seventy or eighty movies, from the story outline to the shooting script, it is truly completed independently by a screenwriter.

In the office, Ronan just looked at the beginning and end of the manuscript, and the rest of the parts could only be left to take time to read them later.

In just over three months, Lindsay Bill completed the first draft, and Ronan was very satisfied with this speed.

The first draft is not long, only 26 chapters. If it were the number of codes in the previous life's network, Lindsay Bill could have completely taken the ranks of the remnants.

But for physical book publication, this is quite a speed.

After the review is completed, Ronan will contact the publishing house and use the name of Shahai Entertainment to throw out the gimmick of preparing to adapt the movie. It is not difficult to publish and enter the book market.

Luo Nan then went to the office where the screenwriter team was located and took a brief look. The screenwriters were writing at their desks and working together.

Two days ago, the screenwriter team had just completed the first draft of a script. Ronan had already given lawyer Dinah Amputon to her to register the copyright at the Copyright Office.

As for the screenwriter union, there is no need for this.

The author of the script is Ronan, but Ronan did not join the screenwriter union and did not meet the conditions for joining the screenwriter union. Non-union members can also register the script in the screenwriter union, but the procedures are quite cumbersome.

The most important point is that the screenwriter union filing only has industry effects and no legal effect.

In other words, if a screenwriter's work is only registered with the screenwriter's union, and not registered with the copyright office, once it is infringed and resorted to the law, the screenwriter's union's filing cannot be used as evidence.

The union is indeed very powerful, but compared to several other major union organizations in Hollywood, the screenwriter and screenwriter union are a bit hard.

It is very difficult to simply rely on being a screenwriter to make a name for himself in Hollywood. After many gold medal screenwriters become famous, they switch to producers or directors.

This situation is not only Hollywood, but also the entertainment industry around the world.

The script that Ronan asked lawyer Dinah Ampton to file for the registration is called "The Deadly Bend". He also filmed many horror films in his previous life. In the family entertainment market outside the theater, the profits have always been good.

This series is not very successful as a theater movie, but it is the winner in the offline rental and sale market.

Ronan had previously inquired from the Copyright Office, which was one of the series that confirmed that there was no copyright registered.

In addition, Ronan also formulated a copyright plan to wait for Robert Lee to return to North America, and then organize a small team with him as the core, and then supplemented with professionals like lawyer Dinah Ampton to negotiate the copyrights of some targets.

In the past life, the truly super popular Hollywood movies, original works can be described as rare, and 99% of them are sequels or adapted movies.

Relativity entertainment has temporarily limited strength and cannot be invested on a large scale. Moreover, if you want to fully extract the value of popular movies, it cannot be achieved simply by shooting it. It requires careful commercial operations and large-scale investment, which also determines that it is impossible to produce in groups, otherwise it is a waste of resources.

The best choice is to launch it in a planned manner.
