The office door was knocked, and Ronan said to invite him in. Eva at the front desk pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Anderson, Director Paul Greengrass is here, he wants to see you."

Ronan only handed the original and the first third of the script to Paul Greengrass yesterday and asked: "Was he here alone? Or with his agent?"

The strategy he has to use is completely different from the strategy he wants to come here alone.

Eva replied, “Here comes alone.”

Ronan thought for a while, and said, "Please come in, Director Greengrass."

Compared to the agent, Paul Greengrass is undoubtedly easier to convince. It will be much easier to reach an agreement with Paul Greengrass when negotiating with Dean later.

Paul Greengrass entered the office with his briefcase, sat down and greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Anderson."

"Good morning, Director Greengrass." Ronan observed secretly. Paul Greengrass was tired, his eyes were black and his long hair was scattered, but he felt excited, as if he was not asleep because of excitement. He quickly made a judgment and tentatively said: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Paul Greengrass is a relatively pure director. He didn't think much about it. He opened his briefcase, took out the original work and the thin script of "Born's Identity" and said: "I went back yesterday and kept studying the original work and the original. The role of Jason Bourn is much better than the previous agent's setting."

He did not hide his thoughts: "Mr. Anderson, this script and character are very suitable for my style. Can you give this project to me to direct?"

Ronan did not answer, seemed to hesitate.

"I know, the last Ace Agent failed." Paul Greengrass couldn't escape this problem: "North America's box office is almost nine million dollars now? This shows that many people can accept my film style, and Jason Bourne is an orthodox American character..."

Ronan was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but said: "Director Greengrass, have you notified Dean? According to industry regulations, if there is no agent present, I cannot talk to you about work."

Of course, this nonsense made Paul Greengrass feel that he has not made a decision yet.

Paul Greengrass studied the script all night and made various ideas. Some of the pictures were initially constructed in his head. He didn't take the agent to heart and said directly: "Dean's side is not a problem."

After the failure of "Ace Agent", he understood one thing: his unique film style needs a suitable carrier.

"Ace Agent" is inherently flawed, but "Borne's Identity" is very suitable.

If you don’t go back to this world movie center and prove yourself again, will you have to stay in the UK for the rest of your life?

The more Paul Greengrass took the initiative, the less anxious Ronan was.

"I just started the director selection for this project, and many directors have come into contact with me." Ronan said slowly: "Some people have obtained the original work and some scripts from me."

Paul Greengrass instantly remembered the man yesterday and said, "Mr. Anderson, we have worked together once. You know me and I know you too. We have almost the same philosophy and want to create an extraordinary agent movie. You have also watched the action scenes I shot, which are more suitable for civilian agents like Bourne."

Ronan put his hands on the desk, as if he was seriously thinking about Paul Greengras' words.

"Quick editing and handheld photography?" Ronan nodded slightly: "I like this style..."

Paul Greengrass did not want to return to the UK and said: "This style complements the tone set by the original author and adapter. The protagonist Jason Bourne is an agent who constantly searches for his true identity and avoids the CIA assassination. The insecurity caused by this amnesia and the anxiety carried by unknown identities cannot be presented in Spielberg's similar classical narrative shots, nor can it be created in the joking and joking images of Quentin, which is more suitable for the documentary style that handheld photography can bring!"

Ronan tapped his finger and combined Paul Greengrass' words to recall the movies that confirmed their memory, the original works and scripts that had been read.

I have to say that what Paul Greengras said is abnormally consistent with the movies in memory.

Perhaps, Paul Greengras, a director who was a journalist, was born for the "Spy Shadows" series.

Seeing that Ronan did not express his opinion, Paul Greengrass said: "I thought a lot after reading the original work and script yesterday. He also had some ideas about future shooting and movies."

He glanced at Ronan and continued: "The shaking chase, incomplete scene composition, and fast and sharp editing techniques can cover every area where Jason Bourne resides like an inexpensive sky. If there is anything else that can accurately define this closed story structure and the free description of characters, you can only find it in handheld shaking photography and fragmented editing!"

Speaking of this, Paul Greengrass grew confidence: "So, it's not this project that seeks this way, but "Borne's Identity" needs this image!"

The hesitation on Ronan's face gradually disappeared, and he seemed to have been moved by Paul Greengrass.

"The times have changed." Ronan said slowly: "What you said makes sense. Agent films are not just beautiful women, bombs and speeders. Sometimes the mental stimulation brought by extraordinary people walking down the altar is often much more impressive than the boredom caused by lingering in the altar."

This sentence completely expressed the essence! Paul Greengrass nodded quickly: "Yes! That's what I mean!"

Ronan smiled: "To be honest, I have met several directors during this period, including many famous directors, but I always feel that they are missing something, especially when it comes to agent movies, these directors always like to lean towards James Bond and Ethan Hant."

He sighed: "Actually, I always knew what this project needed the most. Director Greengrass, your style is very unique and I can't forget it."

Hearing this, Paul Greengrass breathed a little relieved.

Ronan seemed to have finally made a decision: "I personally would like to work with you, but there are some things that need to be said before."

Flying from England to Los Angeles and working on the script for another night, Paul Greengrass felt that there was nothing unacceptable to it. It wasn't Ronan Anderson who could not let him down? He was not the one who suffered the loss.

"Though said," said Paul Greengrass.

Ronan said calmly: "First of all, it's your pay. Director Greengrass, you probably should know that Hollywood has a complete system for director and actor evaluation."

Paul Greengrass nodded: "I know."

"Shahai Entertainment also has regulations on this aspect, and I cannot violate the company's regulations." Ronan said: "So, your salary will not be higher than "Ace Agents"... Well, I can guarantee a salary of 500,000 US dollars. No matter how high it is, I can't explain to the whole company."

What Paul Greengrass wants is the director's position and opportunity to prove it. The pay is the second consideration. And maintaining the pay level of "Ace Agent" is basically in line with his current identity.

"Yes." Paul Greengrass responded directly.

Ronan picked up the original work of "Borne's Identity" and asked, "You have read the original work, you should know that this is a trilogy series, right?"

There is a relevant note on the cover at the end of the book. Paul Greengrass saw it yesterday: "I haven't read "Borne's Hegemony" and "Borne's Ultimatum."

Ronan put down the book and said, "The copyright of these two movies is also in my hands. Once the first one is successful, the next two movies will inevitably be adapted. This will be a complete trilogy series. In order to ensure the continuity and consistency of the trilogy style content, I need a stable director."

He knew that he could not keep suppressing it, and said, "Paul, your personal style is too strong and unique, and others cannot imitate it at all. If "Borne's Identity" is successful and the director is changed later, the future of this series will be worrying."

Of course, Paul Greengrass understood the meaning of this sentence and hesitated for a moment.

Ronan seemed to have not seen the hesitation on his face and said to himself: "I can guarantee that you have the authority to shoot and produce "Ace Agent". I heard that you worked with George Clint very well last time. Shahai can let George be the producer."

Whether the producer with the highest power in the crew and the producer manager responsible for handling daily affairs is crucial to the director's work. Paul Greengrass naturally knows this. In terms of emotions and feelings, he is also willing to work with moderate producers like Ronan.

But the trilogy...

Ronan has done so much to get Paul Greengras to sign a trilogy contract at once, otherwise the subsequent single-money payment negotiations would be very troublesome.

"The budget for the first part is $50 million, and the pay of $500,000 accounts for one percent of the budget." Ronan threw out his killer move: "The budget for each of the last two sequels will not be less than $50 million. If there is a second part, your director's pay is three percent of the budget, and the third part is six percent of the budget."

If there is no such contract and the film can achieve success in its previous life, in the second part, Paul Greengrass asked for $5 million plus a certain post-production share, and it would not be a problem to get a total pay of $20 million in the third part.

Although this kind of contract can be modified in a certain way, as long as the trilogy director contract is signed, the initiative will be held on Shahai Entertainment.

The second film pay tripled and the third film increased by six times. Paul Greengrass thought for a while and finally said: "Mr. Anderson, I am willing to work with Shahai trilogy!"

Ronan stood up and shook hands with him with a smile: "Let Dean come to discuss the specific contract with me. However, you have to communicate with him in advance."
Chapter completed!
