Walking side by side with Angelina Jolie on the wooden floor, Ronan looked at her slightly bulging biceps between her bent arms and said, "The exercise effect is very obvious."

Angelina Jolie glanced at Ronan and said, "You are not bad either, you are stronger than when I first met you."

Both of them exercise in this fitness club, and they also have the same fitness coach. They often meet them and are quite familiar with each other.

Ronan said as he walked, "I heard that the Tomb Raider has finished filming?"

"It's finished." Angelina Jolie said simply: "I just finished it before Thanksgiving and went to a lot of places. This is my first time shooting an action movie."

Ronan took the opportunity to say, "Do you want to shoot another film?" He pointed to Angelina Jolie's upper arm with smooth lines and outlines, and said, "It's hard to practice, so they should be useful."

Angelina Jolie rolled her eyes slightly and her thick lips slowly flipped: "It's so tiring to shoot an action movie. If you accidentally get hurt, I was injured once I was filming an outdoor scene in Cambodia."

Ronan asked concernedly: "Where is the injury? It doesn't matter?"

Angelina Jolie's hand unconsciously fell on her perky buttocks. She was a generous person, without any hesitation, and said, "I fell down when I landed. A hard branch pierced in. Fortunately, it was just a skin injury, and now it's healed."

Ronan nodded, subconsciously thinking that the place was thick, but he knew that it was inappropriate, and said, "It's fine." He turned the topic back: "As long as you take good protection, you won't be so easy to get hurt."

"Why do you like me?" Angelina Jolie was a little curious: "With you and your company, it shouldn't be difficult to find an actor."

Ronan said directly: "There are actually limited to truly popular actresses. I have come into contact with a few and found that you are the most suitable."

This was secretly praised. Angelina Jolie didn't have as much thought as she later, and she was obviously very helpful. She smiled and said, "You should talk to my agent about this."

"I have a headache when he bit the $7 million salary and he didn't let go." Ronan said directly: "The crew only has a $20 million budget, and I can't afford the $7 million salary."

After several contacts with Angelina Jolie's agent, Shahai Entertainment was in a stalemate when it came to a $7 million deal.

Angelina Jolie said: "What project is it?"

She is not repulsive of action movies. She has already won the performance award and has invested so much. She must find a way to make a profit and take the opportunity to make more money.

Ronan said: "I have given the script and character concept picture to your agent. Oh, by the way, I have it in my briefcase, why don't I give it to you?"

Angelina Jolie didn't refuse and said, "Look at it."

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the dressing area. Angelina Jolie followed Ronan directly into the dressing room that belonged to him. Ronan found the briefcase from the cabinet, took out the concept artwork and character settings of Selena, the heroine of "Legend of the Night", and handed it to Angelina Jolie.

This was specially prepared by him, and he originally planned to have a good talk with Angelina Jolie at the fitness club.

Angelina Jolie followed, looked around and saw the graceful figure out of the tight leather jacket, and she felt a wonderful sense of familiarity.

Ronan said directly: "The appearance setting of this character refers to some of your traits."

Angelina Jolie looked at Ronan, her wild face with a little puzzled look.

"Action actresses are very rare in Hollywood." Ronan explained simply: "But if this type is done well, it may become a super A, but the requirements for action actresses are relatively high. Let's put it this way, Julie. I personally think that the conditions for becoming a top action actress are more demanding than winning the Oscars' performance award. And you have these conditions."

There are a few Hollywood stars who don’t want to be superstars, and Angelina Jolie is no exception: “Ronan, your lobbying is very convincing. But my father said a long time ago that you must not easily believe the producers. In order to achieve their goals, the producers dare to say anything.”

Ronan spread his hands helplessly: "Everyone who has worked with me in Hollywood knows that I am the most honest and reliable person."

Angelina Jolie stared at Ronan with her eyes straight at her. After looking at her for a while, she was a little confused. There was no trace of Hollywood-style scheming and treacherous on this man's young and handsome face.

By the way, this person looks really good. If it were a few years ago, maybe...

Angelina Jolie shook her head slightly, got rid of these unreliable thoughts, put up the stack of information, and asked, "Can I take these away?"

Of course, Rona would not refuse: "Yes, Julie, I'm serious, you think about it carefully. You have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and it's too difficult to win the Best Actress again. Even if you win the Best Actress, you may not be able to become a superstar. But if you take the action route, it is a shortcut to becoming a superstar. Even after several action movies succeed, you can become a member of the 20 million club like Julia Roberts."

Hearing the last sentence, Angelina Jolie's chest suddenly stopped due to breathing, and after more than ten seconds, it was up and down at a faster speed than before.

At this time, Luo Nan said: "In terms of film remuneration, I hope that the early pay can be less, and then the profit sharing will be paid in the future."

Angelina Jolie collected the information and said, "I will think about the role carefully. Ronan, let's talk to my agent for the pay."

She waved to Ronan: "Goodbye another day, contact us often."

"Goodbye." Luo Nan also waved.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Ronan returned to North Hollywood. That night, he met Kate Beckinsale and her agent at a café in North Hollywood.

"Ben, it's Ben Affleck." Ronan said to the two of them: "He took me to the Pearl Harbor crew some time ago to see the sample. IMHO, Miss Beckinsale, your character creation is not very good."

Kate Beckinsale's face was a little unfavorable, and the agent stared at Ronan, as if he would turn against him at any time.

Ronan said bluntly: "Whether in appearance or performance shaping, Miss Beckinsale is obviously imitating Nicole Kidman, right?"

Kate Beckinsale's fair face instantly covered in clouds.

The agent was a little angry and wanted to refute, but was gently pulled by Kate Beckinsale.

Others don't know, but Kate Beckinsale herself knows that the role of Evelyn is imitating Nicole Kidman.

"Mr. Anderson." The agent suppressed his displeasure and said: "The action movie does not conform to Kate's style and positioning."

Ronan shook his head and said, "Action movies are a shortcut to becoming a superstar. Have you not seen the success of "Charlie's Angels"? Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are so popular. Female action movies are becoming mainstream. With the conditions of Miss Beckinsale, they are very suitable for acting roles. This is a good opportunity brought by the development of the times!"

He emphasized: "If Miss Beckinsale can seize the opportunity, she can not only establish her own actor style, but also after several action films succeed, she can also become a member of the 20 million club like Julia Roberts."

Ronan said such purely fooling people without blushing.

Kate Beckinsale touched the agent's feet, stood up and said, "Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom."

The agent knew that she did not want to participate in the next conversation, and avoided a head-on conflict with young producers who were rising rapidly in the industry. After Kate Beckinsale left, he said: "We have also seriously considered the possibility that Mr. Anderson mentioned. Kate also hopes to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, but Shahai Entertainment should also show sincerity?"

Ronan understood what he meant and said directly: "The salary of $5 million is too high."

The agent said slightly tough: "Kate just starred in a big production with a production cost of $140 million! And he is the heroine!"

"This film has not been released yet, and the success or failure is not decided." Ronan said lightly: "What if Miss Beckinsale's role doesn't respond well?"

"This is impossible!" The agent became more and more tough: "There is no need to talk about the dollar less than this number."

The negotiations were basically dead, and Ronan was about to say goodbye. Before leaving, he said: "The basic salary of $2 million plus one percent of the box office profit share. Please consider that female action movies are the type that is most suitable for Miss Beckinsale."

Unfortunately, the agent couldn't listen.

Ronan didn't say anything more and left directly.

Kate Beckinsale is far from worth $5 million.

Still the same thing, he would rather use Angelina Jolie for $7 million than Kate Beckinsale for $5 million.

From a business perspective, the latter is not as good as the former in any aspect.

There is no news on Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale has little hope. Ronan contacted Charlize Theron's agent later and also sent an invitation to Charlize Theron.

South African diamonds in this era are positioned as pure vase in Hollywood. The pay is not high, but their business appeal is limited.

To be precise, even after winning the Oscar Award for the Best Actress, Charlize Theron's business appeal is not strong.

The American public seems to be not very fond of this type of actress.

Ronan also had doubts, but he still allowed people to continue to contact him. If the conditions are right, Charlize Theron, who already has a sexually frigid temperament, would be a good match for Selena.

Although he did not confirm the heroine of "Legend of the Night", Ronan left Los Angeles as planned and rushed to New York to prepare for more critical work.

After leaving Kennedy Airport and rushing to the hotel in Manhattan, Ronan met Robert Lee and asked directly: "How is it? What's going on over there in Marvel Comics?"
