Chapter 519： 2 endings

With blonde hair tied into a ponytail behind her head, Lindsay Bill's face looks very delicate, quite like a young literary girl, but she has worked at Shahai Entertainment for a few years and often dealt with Ronan, and the impact was quite obvious. , Not the kind of literary style screenwriter, but more commercial.

Lindsay Bill pushed a script to Ronan.

Ronan picked it up and asked, "Done?"

Lindsay Bill nodded heavily: "I have completed the task you assigned."

Ronan pointed to the script and said, "I'll take a look first."

Lindsay Bill picked up the coffee and waited patiently.

Turning over the script, Ronan browsed quickly, but he read more carefully than the script he had read before.

This is a comprehensively adapted story based on countless realistic cases and materials. The content and themes are somewhat heavy. A naive, sunny, and cheerful girl, from the very beginning of her life, she came into contact with a special industry, and then went deep. Stuck in it, you can't extricate yourself, even if others want to pull from the outside, you can't pull it out. Instead, you are immersed in the self-organized rich, glorious and dazzling life, and proud of it.

At the end of the story, the girl caught AIDS and waited alone in the gorgeous room for death.

Lindsay-Bill took a look at Ronan. She put a lot of effort into the heroine and her experience, combining multiple realistic examples as the basis, and then using Hollywood's customary methods to create a second time...

Ronan put down the script, closed his eyes, and recalled that there was no problem with the personality of the main characters, which appropriately reflected the current status of some female groups. The main frame of the plot conforms to the three-act structure of the Hollywood script, with Very obvious black and heavy style.

This is also consistent with the film style he confessed, and the future film must be a dark style film.

Seeing Ronan opening his eyes, Lindsay Bill asked expectantly: "Ronan, how about the script? Is it okay?"

"The writing is very good." Ronan still praised first, and the writing is really good. This kind of script adapted from realistic themes must be realistic, but also must have a certain degree of artistic processing, and ensure its commercial attributes. The difficulty. He smiled and said, "So much preliminary work was not done in vain."

Lindsay Bill was not humble. Instead, he said: "The company offers me a high salary, and I have a bonus for completing a project. My job must be worthy of the salary."

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "Linsey, if every employee in the company can be like you, Relativity Entertainment will soon grow and develop."

Lindsay Bill did not get dazzled by Ronan’s praise, and added: “You are one of the best-sighted producers in the industry. In my opinion, you are the best. The script is only a first draft, not perfect, and What needs to be improved?"

Ronan said bluntly: "Can the ending be set to another version?" He just had a preliminary idea: "The heroine should not die or get sick, but she should be as bright and happy as a real elite. Live in the city of New York."

"This way..." Lindsay Bill was lost in thought.

"I'm not asking you to do this. I just put forward an idea. Let's discuss it together." Ronan didn't mean to force it: "What kind of ending will make the movie look more interesting."

Lindsay Bill nodded slowly and said: "In this way, the ending will bring an ironic effect."

Ronan picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said, "Is there an example of this in reality?"

"Yes." Lindsay Bill said, "Do you know Dita Vantis?"

Ronan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Lindsay-Bill said softly: "When I was collecting information, I had contact with her on the spot. This can be said to be a leader in a special industry. Now we can hold a personal striptease special in the theater, and also star in a Champagne bath in Jeolla. It is art, which has attracted a large number of wealthy enthusiasts to join in, thus dressing up as a celebrity."

Ronan was a little surprised: "That's OK?"

Lindsay Bill had an idea: "Every industry has leaders who can realize the American dream! So, why can't the heroine in our script realize the American dream in her own way?"

Ronan had to admire: "Lindsay, your brain is too big."

"Being a screenwriter requires an open mind." Lindsay Bill thinks this is a good idea: "The right brain can effectively enhance the charm of the plot."

With a little excitement, she said: "This ending is good, more distinctive than the traditional ending!"

Ronan thought for a while: "You can write another version with this ending. Basically, you don't need to change the rest, just change the plot of the ending stage."

Lindsay Bill said: "I will go back today and proceed immediately."

Ronan reminded: "The script retains two endings for the time being. We will discuss which one to use after the project is determined by the director."

"Okay." Lindsay Bill had no objection.

Ronan opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of printed materials, and handed it to Lindsay Bill, and said, "After finishing this script, take time to read these when you rest."

Lindsay Bill took it, and flipped through it quickly and said, "I don't need to rest. I have been taking a break while writing scripts for the past few months. I have adjusted it."

She seemed to have seen something, and said with a slight surprise: "This is a novel about fashion circles? How does Miranda look like the editor-in-chief of Vogue?"

"Do you know Anna Wintour?" Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill laughed: "I am a woman, every woman who pays attention to fashion, who doesn't read "Vogue" magazine?"

Seeing that she knew who Anna Wintour was, Ronan simply said: "This is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Anna Wintour’s former assistant based on his own experience. The novel is under review and will be published soon. I have Let people buy the film rights in advance and plan to adapt it into a female-themed workplace and fashion film."

Lindsay Bill was unambiguous, and her delicate face showed a bit of self-confidence: "Ronan, leave this script to me! I'm a working woman. I know a little bit about the fashion industry and I can also collect information. It's also a female subject that I am good at."

The success of "Summer of Jeans" allowed Lindsay Bill to complete a screenwriting transformation and added a lot of confidence.

Ronan certainly wouldn't refuse: "I will let Shahai Entertainment talk to you about the adaptation of the script."

Successful screenwriters like Lindsay Bill who have the right to sign are naturally not comparable to ghostwriters who do not have the right to sign. In addition to the normal salary, there will be additional project bonuses.

This is a very simple truth. If you want a horse to run, you must feed the horse.

Lindsay Bill looked through the information Ronan gave her and said, "This former assistant has a very good writing skills."

Ronan talked about what he had learned from Robert Lee: "She was originally studying literature... Well, how do you say it? I should say that she was very lucky. She became Anna Wintour's assistant as soon as she graduated."

I don't know how many people are jealous in this position.

Lindsay Bell collected the information and asked: "When do I need to complete it?"

Ronan said directly: "Within half a year."

"No problem." Lindsay Bill simply calculated: "I will submit the paper at the end of March next year."

In Ronan’s plan, the project "The Devil Wearing Prada" will definitely be shot and produced next year. This is also to match the schedule of Anne Hathaway, who is still filming "Princess Diaries 2" for Disney .

The filming of this film was not going well. Director Gary Marshall was too old and his physical condition had not been very good. The crew always stopped filming for a period of time.

According to this situation, "The Princess Diaries 2" must be the last film directed by Gary Marshall.

Because of the successful collaboration of "Summer of Jeans," Ronan originally planned to continue cooperating with Gary Marshall on youth idol movies, but now he has no such plans anymore.

With Gary Marshall's physical condition , maybe it will fall on the set, and then the investigation by the directors' union alone will be a huge trouble.

Lindsay Bill seemed to be unable to wait to go back to write another ending. At this time, she said goodbye. Before leaving, she suddenly thought of one thing and asked: "By the way, "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Grey's How is the sequel to "Fifty Shadows" written?"

"The second part of the three series is all completed." Ronan said briefly: "It will be published one after another at the end of the year."

Lindsay Bill asked again: "How about the sales of the first one?"

Ronan smiled and said: "The past two years have been rising and the popularity has grown. The worst-selling "Fifty Shades of Gray" has also sold more than 700,000 copies in North America. "Twilight" "City" and "The Hunger Games" have sold over a million."

Lindsay Bill waved to Ronan and said, "I'm leaving now."

Ronan nodded, waited for Lindsay Bill to come out of the cafe, and left after checking out.

The three series of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shadows of Gray" have been outsourced to a studio for ghostwriting, so Ronan doesn't have to bother too much, just wait for the right time to promote the film adaptation That's it.

From the beginning of October, the focus of Embassy Pictures has shifted to "Dungeon Siege" released this month.

As an epic production of a game adaptation cost more than three million US dollars, coupled with the previous success of Relativity Entertainment in Uvi-Bauer's "Death Haunted Mansion", Embassy Pictures, under Ronan’s proposal, provided " "Dungeon Siege" formulated a thorough promotion plan.

A small part of this plan is to use the protagonist Jason Statham's prosperous beauty to make a fuss, and more is to focus on the director Uvi Bauer.

And Uvi-Bauer himself is not only in favor, but also very positive.
