Chapter 215 Grignard's Anatomy

This heavyweight black female, Ronan, was quite unfamiliar with both face and name, but if Brian Lord could introduce him to him, he must be a capable person.

Luo Nan also shook hands and greeted her a few words, showing respect and politeness.

For film company owners, capable people mean money and gains.

There are fewer black directors in Hollywood, fewer female directors, while female black directors can only be said to be unusually rare.

Ronan thought for a long time but couldn't remember the name of a famous female black director.

Not only directors, but also very few female black people in the industry.

It is no wonder that an industry that does not hire black female directors, and similar leaders are lacking in investment and distribution departments.

Not to mention anything else, just look at this banquet hall tonight. Looking around, there are very few black women.

Brian Lord went elsewhere for something, and Ronan originally wanted to leave, but the black female kept asking questions.

“I’ve seen some news about you,” Shanda Remus said. “We are actually alumni, and I received my master’s degree from USC.”

Alumni can be said to be very important interpersonal relationships, Ronan asked: "Are you studying in the Film Academy?"

Shanda Remus said with a smile: "The School of Film and Arts." She further said: "I mainly study production art and script writing."

Ronan said: "I also studied at the Film Academy, but unfortunately I haven't finished it."

The relationship between Southern California alumni brought the two closer together. Ronan and Shanda Remus talked about the topic of Southern California for a while. Shanda Remus attended the Film Academy of Southern California several years earlier than him and also took a class by Ronan's mentor Professor Johnson.

To Ronan's expectation, Shanda Remus actually knew Jessica Felton.

"I met Jessica at an alumni meeting." Shanda Remus said simply: "Later we worked on a crew. I was the screenwriter of "Blood and Tears of Beauty". Jessica had just graduated and was intern in the post-production department of the crew."

Ronan said with a smile: "There are many American alumni in Hollywood."

The most famous one is George Lucas.

The graduates of USC are also considered to be a relatively loose and huge force in Hollywood.

Strictly speaking, Steven Spielberg is also a member of the USC Alumni Association.

Shanda Remus said: "The 2001 Hollywood USC alumni Association is coming soon, and you can also attend."

"Yes." Ronan also wants to expand connections. Alumni of the USC are an excellent platform: "I will definitely go then."

Since Jessica Felton has been there, time and place, just ask her to know.

After a long time of relationship and the identity of an alumni was revelated, Shanda Remus gradually began to have a true intention on the surface.

Perhaps black people are really not suitable for high-tech and creative work, as legendary, but there are always exceptions.

Shanda Remus is obviously a shrewd person. According to Ronan's guess, she found this place before, and it is very likely that she would be purposeful, otherwise she would not have come up and used the alumni of the USC to bring closer relationships.

Ronan is not disgusted with that Hollywood produces countless film and television works every year, and even if the success rate is not large, it is still a large number.

There are so many works that a person has seen, and it is too common for those works that have only been viewed once to be forgotten or have a mess of memory.

It is a good thing to take the initiative to ask him to invest or negotiate projects.

One of the purposes of Ronan investing in foreign projects like Resident Evil is to tell Hollywood people that Shahai Entertainment not only invests in internal projects, but also accepts foreign projects.

Shanda Remus's topic gradually shifted to Shahai Entertainment: "The movies produced by your production company are all masterpieces, and I have watched each one more than twice."

Ronan smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."

"Does your company only make movies?" Shanda Rimes asked suddenly.

Ronan immediately realized that the Shanda Remus problem was the key, and said: "There is only the film production business for the time being, but the company is also trying to do it."

Shanda Remus nodded and said, "I have an idea about TV series that has emerged since I wrote the script for "Blood and Tears of Beauty" in 1998. I have thought more about it in recent years, but..."

She shook her head slightly and pointed to her dark face: "No one cares about the idea of ​​a female black screenwriter."

Ronan even fooled the Arabs and said at the right time: "Talent has nothing to do with identity."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shanda Remus immediately looked at Ronan, and when he saw him with a serious look, he sighed and said, "There are too few people who think so."

Ronan treats everyone who comes to recommend a project, and what if the other party’s project is valuable?

There are too many film and television works in Hollywood that have been creative and even scripted many years before they were published, but they have been circulating and have been found to invest or produce them many years later.

Ronan said calmly: "The social environment is changing, and as long as you work hard, the situation will always improve."

"Well," said Shanda Remus. "I've talked to many people in the production department of the company, and even with creative agents at Caa, but they are not interested. No one thinks the idea of ​​a black woman is valuable."

"Do you know, Shanda?" Ronan said with a smile: "The projects I handled are all despised by big companies, but in the end they succeeded in my and my company."

He encouraged, "Shanda, tell me what you think."

Shanda Remus seemed to be organizing language, pondering for a while before saying, "Have you read "Grish Anatomy"?"

Ronan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No, is this? Or..."

Shanda Remus explained: "Anatomy."

When he heard that it was a medical work, Ronan was sure that he could not have read it.

“When I was in high school and college, I often spent my time volunteering in hospitals, and I was particularly interested in doctors and medicine,” Shanda Remus said. “Later, I read Grish Anatomy and came up with the idea of ​​creating a medical work.”

Ronan asked tentatively: "Movie?"

Shanda Remus said: "No, it's a drama. The movie has limited space and is not suitable. TV series is the most suitable."

I heard it was a TV series, but Ronan frowned and thought for a while. Among the American dramas I watched in my previous life, there seemed to be many doctor-themed topics. Medical dramas can be said to be a major category of American dramas, such as "The Story of the Emergency Room", which is still very popular.

"Can you tell me your thoughts in detail?" Ronan asked.

Shanda Remus smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just a conceivable now. Because there is no company to respond, I haven't created it yet."

Ronan encouraged: "It's okay, we just treat it as a communication."

For copyright considerations, Shanda Remus could not say too carefully, but simply said two simple sentences: "It mainly tells the story of a group of handsome men and beautiful doctors who work hard. They start from interns and all the way to attending doctors."

These words are quite general.

However, Ronan felt that this idea might be very valuable and said, "Shanda, can this be done? Try writing a script and then let's discuss it carefully. If it can be produced, Shahai Entertainment can invest in production."

Shanda Rimes came to Ronan to promote her creativity, and immediately responded: "Yes, I will make relevant preparations after I go back, and it may take a little longer." She explained: "This requires very professional medical knowledge and rigorous logic."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, I can wait for you. Shanda, my promise will always be valid. But there is one thing I want to explain in advance. According to what you just said, this is a medical drama, not a bloody love drama for young men and women wearing the guise of medical dramas."

If it is the latter, the value will be greatly reduced. Ronan has seen too many bloody idol dramas wearing medical dramas in his previous life. The genre positioning does not match the actual content. After it comes out, it will be full of criticism and will soon fail.

Shanda Remus promised: "This will be a professional and rigorous medical drama."

Ronan left his contact information to Shanda Remus and said: "You can call me as soon as you encounter difficulties. Even if you encounter difficulties, I will ask the company's people to help you if I am not here."

As a black man or a woman, Shanda Remus rarely receives such attention, saying: "I will turn off other work and write out the outline and part of the script of this drama. If possible, I hope you can provide me with legal help and let professional lawyers help me register copyright in the copyright office."

This is also a kind of temptation. There are too many messes in the circle, and sometimes you have to be careful.

Ronan responded happily: "No problem. How about Shengzhi Law Firm?"

"Yes." Shanda Rims was completely relieved.

This is one of the most reputable law firms in the industry.

After arguing with Shanda Remus, he met at Shahai Entertainment next week and discussed more detailed content, Shanda Remus said goodbye and left.

Ronan knew very well that this required patience. It would take many months or even longer for a screenwriter to turn his ideas into a script.

After the cocktail party, Ronan and Tom Cruise left together. Before leaving the banquet hall, they met Nicole Kidman. The former golden boy and jade girl had become strangers.

But in the Hollywood circle, we can't even see each other.

Moreover, "Far Cry" starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has just been filmed, and will be post-production later. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, as producers, will inevitably continue to deal with each other.

Unfortunately, although this film has investment from Tom Cruise, the producer is Miramax. Miramax is now a subsidiary of Walt Disney. Ronan is interested in the release of this film, but it is difficult to get started.
