Chapter 871: Ambition and Operation

In this magical land of the United States, in addition to popular shootings, the influence of hurricanes cannot be underestimated. Tornadoes and the like are commonplace.

Themes such as storms are also relatively common types in Hollywood, and have a relatively wide audience in North America.

Like "Tornado" directed by Jane De Bont, it has also entered the top three of the North American annual box office list.

Therefore, the "Superstorm" script recommended by Martin Scorsese somewhat aroused Ronan's interest, and also made people find the full version of the script in the first place.

In a way, this is a bit like another "The Day After Tomorrow".

The success of Roland Emmerich's disaster film is not only due to special effects, but also more in line with the needs of the current society.

Climate is a growing and pressing issue for governments around the world.

For centuries, humans have longed to understand, master, and ultimately control Earth's changing climate.

The writer of "Superstorm" is also a smart guy.

The script tells that in the near future, global warming will frequently cause more terrible hurricanes. When a super hurricane is about to hit the east coast of the United States, the "Storm Shield" team that the hero is in plans to use their technology to change the course and intensity of the hurricane to avoid the tragedy caused by Katrina from happening again.

The writers tied the plot to Hurricane Katrina.

This summer, Hurricane Katrina has attracted the attention of the world. Its catastrophic consequences, even the United States, can hardly bear, with direct economic losses of more than 200 billion US dollars.

Movies are often closely connected with social reality, and Hollywood screenwriters have an extremely keen sense of smell.

"According to what we have learned."

In the office, Connie reported the latest situation to Ronan: "The author of the script, Julian Simpson, came up with the idea of ​​writing a hurricane script after Hurricane Katrina, and it took less than a month to complete it. The relevant creations have been completed.”

Ronan asked: "Julian Simpson? This name is very strange."

Connie glanced at the notebook in her hand and said, "This is a 34-year-old female screenwriter and director who entered the film and television industry in 1997.

Directed a British film "Modern Women's Prison". After the new century, she came to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter and worked as a screenwriter in many TV drama crews. "

She understood Ronan's purpose for asking for information, and said emphatically, "Julian Simpson is very familiar with the situation in Hollywood."

Ronan nodded: "It's not a new work for newcomers."

Connie asked: "This work..."

Ronan glanced at the script on the desk and said, "How should I put it? The plot of this type of film must be very clichéd. If you want to make a good shot, you must invest a lot in special effects production, but once the investment is too high , the risk will also increase.”

Frankly speaking, Ronan was also a little hesitant.

Connie didn't say much, quietly waiting for Ronan to make a decision.

Ronan considered for a moment and said, "Well, let someone get in touch with Julian Simpson first. If the price of the script is not too outrageous, you can buy it to enrich the script library."

The price of the script itself is not high. After buying it, even if you don’t shoot it temporarily, you can wait for it later.

Connie responded, left the office, and sent a work coordination to Shahai Entertainment.

As a woman, Julian Simpson came to Hollywood for a few years, and she didn't do well or badly, and generally speaking, she was a little successful.

After the Hurricane Katrina disaster, she saw the reports on TV. Although she hadn’t seen the disaster on the spot, she came up with an idea. Then, with the support of a large amount of hurricane data, her inspiration exploded. It took less than a month In time, a disaster movie script was completed.

This is Julian Simpson's most satisfying work since he has been in the industry for six years. He even got rid of the relationship with a producer he once worked with and sent the script to the great director Martin Scorsese.

While Martin Scorsese didn't see her script, and the price paid seemed to be futile, it turns out that it was not in vain.

Julian Simpson received a call from Sand Sea Entertainment, who wanted to discuss with her about the script of "Superstorm".

It has not been a long time since the script was written, and she has worked in Hollywood for many years and is a woman with a lively mind. When Julian Simpson was invited by Shahai Entertainment, the first thing that came to mind was not the possibility of making a movie from the script, but how to maximize the benefits .

"A single script is not of much value." Julian Simpson is quite clear-headed, and he doesn't think that a mature company like Sandsea Entertainment will be surprised when they see their own script, and then open a bunch of brain-dead General conditions: "As a screenwriter, even a female screenwriter, in fact, there is not much future."

Her manager said: "Julian, Sand Sea Entertainment is a branch of Relativity Entertainment, if you can get Ronan Anderson's appreciation..."

Julian Simpson looked at his agent: "Isn't it too unreliable to pin my future on the appreciation of others?"

Agents know Julian - Simpson has always been very ambitious, not surprised.

"What do you want to do?" The manager asked first, and then reminded: "That's Shahai Entertainment, Ronan Anderson's company, we can't mess with it, don't do stupid things!"

Julian Simpson rolled his eyes and said, "Am I the kind of woman who has no brains? Why should I offend a character like Ronan Anderson? I just want to fight for the interests as much as possible. Did I finally create it?" The script, only sold to Shahai Entertainment at a low price of 20,000 US dollars?"

The broker spread his hands helplessly: "This is the market situation in the industry."

"So, the script is worthless, and even I, the screenwriter, feel sad." Julian Simpson obviously had his own thoughts, and said to his agent: "You reply to Shahai Entertainment and say that I agree to discuss "Super Storm" with them. But it will take a few days to see you later."

The agent responded immediately: "There is no problem."

Julian Simpson continued: "I want to write a preliminary production and shooting plan to package "Superstorm" from a simple script to a film project."

"This..." The manager was quite surprised.

"This is normal. How much can a script sell for? What about a project? The project bonus alone is at least ten times that of the script." Julian Simpson said: "Don't forget, I was a director when I was in the UK, and I also directed Once in a movie. After coming to Hollywood, in addition to working as a screenwriter for a TV drama crew, he also served as an executive producer.”

The agent nodded slowly: "Yes, these qualifications can increase your persuasiveness."

Julian Simpson continued: "If I can successfully film and produce "Super Storm" with the cooperation of Sand Sea Entertainment, my career will really start. I will no longer be a screenwriter with a bleak future, but a director and director with an infinite future. Producer."

The agent's face also became serious: "This is indeed an opportunity." He said solemnly: "But there is also a possibility that Shahai Entertainment will not cooperate with us."

Julian Simpson has a clear mind: "Indeed, Sandsea Entertainment just sent us an invitation to negotiate, and our talks may collapse. But with so many Hollywood film companies, we don't have to cooperate with Sandsea Entertainment."

The manager hesitated: "Sand Sea Entertainment's success effect and great fame..."

"So, we have to use these." Julian Simpson said: "The invitation from Sandsea Entertainment can also become our capital. Even if the negotiation fails, we can still contact other companies and even increase our own capital."

She urged: "You find a way to spread the news to the outside world and start doing it today. Before we formally negotiate with Shahai Entertainment, try to spread the relevant news in the circle. Shahai Entertainment wants to cooperate with us on "Super Storm" this film project."

The agent thought about it for a while, and it is extremely operable, and the effect should be good.

Compared with simply selling the script, the income of doing so may be ten times or even twenty times higher.

As a Mr. Ten Percent, doubling the income is enough to take huge risks, not to mention improving so much.

After the agent left, he immediately made a phone call, and went to some public places to spread the news himself.

The next day, Julian Simpson invited friends and colleagues in the industry to a party. She has been in Hollywood for a few years and has worked in several film crews. In addition, she intends to meet and communicate with her. Although her network can only reach Hollywood The middle and lower floors are relatively broad.

The banquet went on very happily. During the feast, Julian Simpson seemed to reveal very unintentionally that her "Superstorm" movie project was appreciated by Sandsea Entertainment, and the two parties will have a formal discussion on the project in a few days.

Everyone congratulated each other, each with different moods, some sincerely wished, some envied and envied, and some secretly cursed...

But at one point, the news spread through a wider group of people.

Hollywood has always been a circle where news spreads very quickly. Rumors not only spread at an astonishing speed, but also change every time they pass through someone's mouth. The direction of change is basically exaggerated.

The news related to "Superstorm" spread through word of mouth, and various expanded versions appeared soon.

For example, Shahai Entertainment attaches great importance to this project and plans to buy it with a lot of money.

For example, the two sides are about to reach an agreement on Lizard, and Sandsea Entertainment wants to invest more than 100 million US dollars in filming and production.

There were even rumors that Ronan Anderson admired Julian Simpson's talent.

Although due to the limited time, the scope of the rumor spread is not particularly wide, but it has also flown into the ears of many people and companies who have been paying attention to Relativity Entertainment and Ronan.

They also had their eyes on Julian Simpson.

After the arrival of a new week, according to the agreement between his manager and Shahai Entertainment, Julian Simpson walked into the Relativity Building.
