In the Brooklyn neighborhood of New York, the crew of "The Walker" is busy filming.

After the shooting in the morning, after lunch, Martin Scorsese sat in a high chair by the dining room window, basking in the rare bright sunshine of New York in the afternoon, and was in a pretty good mood.

The filming went smoothly, and Tom Cruise and Will Smith, who have always been despised by their director circle, have no bad acting skills at all.

Although it is one level worse than old guys Al Pacino and Robert De Niro at their peak, the average level of these two in recent years is only higher or lower.

Since the beginning of the new century, the two old friends have really dared to take on bad movies and bad characters, and they acted like they wanted to make money and support their elderly care. Their performance was even worse than that of Tom Cruise and Will Smith in this film.

The shooting went smoothly, and Relativity Entertainment also came up with a future award-winning plan, so Old Martin was in a good mood.

"Director." The assistant came over with a letter at this time: "There is your letter."

Martin Scorsese took it, and there was nothing but his name on the envelope, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"A staff member of Shahai Entertainment asked me to hand it over to you." The assistant replied.

Martin Scorsese waved his hand and signaled that he understood, and slowly opened the envelope and looked at it.

The letter was signed by George Clint, CEO of Sandsea Entertainment, and Ronan Anderson, boss of Relativity Entertainment.

Seeing these, Martin Scorsese attached great importance to them and read them carefully.

"It turned out to be a recommendation script." He understood the intention of the letter: "Relativity Entertainment, which has hit movies, is constantly looking for new projects."

Martin Scorsese thought about it and had been busy with the filming of "The Walker of the Spot" recently. In fact, he had never read a few scripts, but if you recommend it, it was a trivial matter.

After all, he just needs to say that he has read some interesting scripts recently, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Martin Scorsese was going to have paper and pen, and soon finished writing a letter and called the assistant over: "Find an envelope and hand it over to the producer of Relativity Entertainment, and let him pass it to George Clint or Ronan Anderson."

In his letter, he mentioned the script he saw from a New York producer, and was said to have contacted Hollywood stars such as Leonardo and Brad Pitt.

Martin Scorsese is actually not interested in pure commercial scripts, but he thinks that the production style of relativity entertainment may think that this script is valuable.

Martin Scorsese didn't take this little thing to heart. After writing the recommendation letter, he devoted himself to the filming of "The Walker of the Spot".

In Los Angeles, California, Matthew Leonetti, who served as photography directors in the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "The Three Hundred Warriors of the Spartan", received an email.

This is an email from Relativity Entertainment, with the joint signatures of two bigwigs, Ronan Anderson and George Clint.

Matthew Leonetti finished reading the email and started thinking.

Because of the filming of the zombie film "Dawn of the Living Dead", someone had asked him for a script for a zombie film to help promote it.

But Matthew Leonetti was too busy some time ago and didn't pay much attention.

Now that I saw the email, I couldn't help but think of it. It seems that the zombie script script is also very interesting. Unlike "Dawn of the Living Dead", you can feel the joyful atmosphere inside by just reading the content of the script.

Matthew Leonetti thought about it carefully and found a copy of the script from the filing cabinet, and simply mailed it all to Shahai Entertainment by letter.

The income of the photography director is not comparable to that of the director. If it can be adopted by Shahai Entertainment, it will be an additional bonus income.

Although the industry is not very famous, Matthew Leonetti has been engaged in advertising and TV filming for many years and has some vision.

He believes that Relativity Entertainment has recently sold zombie films and may continue to choose this type of subject.

John Wilson is a screenwriter and producer from the UK. He came to Hollywood to work hard in the mid-1990s. His career was lukewarm until he joined the crew of "Prison Break" a few years ago as executive producer. His career finally reached a turning point.

By the time the filming of "Prison Break 2" was about to be prepared, he had already been the producer of the crew.

The two collaborations with Relativity Entertainment are the take-off point of the screenwriter and producer's career, and John Wilson's career has taken a big step forward.

But he has never been a producer who has been in charge of the crew, and has never been a qualified producer.

John Wilson hopes to have a production project that truly belongs to him. He has been actively looking for it since the filming and production of "Prison Break 2".

Valuable projects in Hollywood are not easy to find.

There are quite a few new scripts for newcomers, but John Wilson doesn't want to joke about his career that has finally improved.

Until some time ago, when he was back in the UK for vacation, he saw a comedy directed by director Paul Albert. He suddenly felt that such a film would seem more appropriate if it was the background of the United States.

So, an idea jumped out, maybe it could be adapted into an American drama based on this British drama?

This idea is good, but copyright is a problem. John Wilson is not able to buy copyright, so he can only temporarily suppress his idea. After purchasing the related TV series DVD, he returned to North America.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, John Wilson received an email from Relativity Entertainment.

This was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to directly send his ideas to the most powerful person in Relativity Entertainment.

With great expectations, John Wilson wrote a letter, packed it with the TV series DVD, and delivered it to Relativity Entertainment.

Although he did not meet Ronan Anderson himself immediately, the person receiving the email said that these recommendation letters would eventually be delivered to Ronan Anderson himself.

Starting from the issuance of the "Blacklist Project", in just one week, Relativity Entertainment received more than 20 recommendations from many past collaborators, including emails from famous figures in the circle such as Martin Scorsese and David Finch.

All of this was summarized on Ronan's desk.

Compared with the scripts submitted to Shahai Entertainment and the spontaneous home-to-door sales, the scripts or projects recommended by professionals in the circle are undoubtedly one hundred times more reliable.

Luo Nan temporarily gave up other work at hand and took a day to screen for recommendation information.

If you can get into the eyes of professionals, make them feel interesting, and at least leave an impression, the script and project will not be particularly bad.

Given the relationship between personal reputation and shooting type, Ronan first reads David Finch's email.

In addition to the letter, David Finch also sent a script to Ronan directly.

This is the script that David Finch received this year, and was sent to him by Samuel Hadida, a producer who has left the Resident Evil series.

After the second part of "Resident Evil" was successful, Samuel Hadida had an irreconcilable conflict with Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich due to issues such as the distribution of interests and the concept of creation. Ronan and Relativity Entertainment stood on the side of Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich, and Samuel Hadida directly withdrew from this series.

Samuel Hadida invited David Finch to be the director, which is also to attract investment in new projects.

After all, David Finch's reputation is quite useful in Hollywood.

But David Finch is filming "Girls", and the schedule is not appropriate.

This script is based on the famous 1947 unsolved case, the Dahlia Tragedy.

To be more precise, it was changed based on "The Avengers of the Black Dahlia: The True Story" written by James Elori in 1987.

The Black Dahlia tragedy caused a huge sensation in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles police launched the largest investigation and search in history for the case, but this murderer evaporated and disappeared without a trace like "Jack the Ripper".

Ronan vaguely remembers that there was such a movie, and he basically forgot the specific situation. The only thing I remember is that Scarlett Johnson and Hillary Swank played roles in it.

In an email from David Finch, he said that he once wanted to direct the film and hoped to shoot a 3-hour black and white video...

Not to mention that David Finch's schedule is not suitable, even if the schedule is appropriate, he will probably be rejected by the film company.

Luo Nan shook his head slightly. This is an adaptation project, and even the script is available. The copyright...

He sent an email to Connie on the internal system of the company, asking Connie to check the relevant information.

But a few minutes later, Connie's reply arrived. "The Avengers of the Black Dahlia: The True Story" was sold as early as the first time to be launched. The company that purchased the film copyright was Universal Pictures.

It has been almost twenty years since Universal Pictures put the film adaptation on the agenda, and Ronan doesn't know what to say.

But such a situation is not rare in Hollywood.

The script recommended by David Finch naturally passed away. Universal Pictures has started operating this project, and of course it will not transfer the copyright to other companies.

Ronan also discovered a problem. Such recommendations may lead to a situation where scripts and projects that can truly leave an impression on industry insiders may have a next store.

The next project has been found, and the quality rate will definitely be higher.

The recommender just leaves a certain impression of the script or project, and he doesn't care much about whether it is an individual or which company owns it.

Later, Ronan encountered this situation again.

The horror script recommended by Gore Wibinski has been bought out by Warner Bros. "The Insider" recommended by Will Smith is a Universal Pictures project.

This situation cannot be avoided.

On the other hand, it just reflects the reliability of the recommendations of the "Blacklist Plan".
