"Welcome back." Ronan shook hands with Lindsay Bill and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lindsay Bill smiled delicately and said half-jokingly: "No, I'm traveling in New York."

Ronan asked someone to send coffee and turned to the topic: "How is the script written?"

Lindsay Bill opened the script, took out two documents, and first placed the neatly bound one in front of Ronan: "This is the script of "The Devil Wearing Prada". After I learned about the fashion circle in detail, I finally finished it."

Ronan picked it up, looked through it briefly, and said, "Let's go back and hand over the script to Shahai Entertainment, and I will notify them to start filming within the year."

Lindsay Bill nodded slightly: "Okay." She asked again: "Do you still remember Lydia?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Miss Hurst."

"Yes." Lindsay Bill said: "She has a great career in fashion and has given me a lot of help. Before coming back this time, Lydia asked me if it was still worth inviting her to be a special consultant for the film?"

Ronan remembers this: "When the crew is established, you inform her to come... Oh, by the way, Lindsay, you are not just a screenwriter in this project, but an executive producer position."

Ronan mentioned this before, and Lindsay Bill was not surprised and said, "As long as I don't have any conflicts with my screenwriter work, I have no problem."

Ronan said: "In the future, Shahai Entertainment will have multiple female-themed projects, and women understand women's needs the best. My side, Shahai Entertainment, and the whole Hollywood lack excellent enough female producers. Lindsay, you can consider developing in this direction."

Lindsay Bill has been in Hollywood for several years and is very clear about one thing. The simple screenwriter has a very low status in Hollywood and immediately said: "I will work hard."

Ronan returns to the project itself: "The original work has been listed on the New York Times bestseller list, has a certain reputation, and has the foundation for adapting movies."

Lindsay Bill is about to serve as the executive producer of the project, so he naturally has more concerns and asked: "Ronan, how did you consider the candidates for the two protagonists?"

Ronan said again: "The heroine is planned to be starring Anne Hathaway. I have told you before. The supporting actress is scheduled to be Meryl Streep, but it will be discussed after contacting the other party."

Lindsay Bill also considered: "Meryl Streep hasn't played a female villain for a long time."

Ronan said: "This character is not a villain either."

Lindsay Bill has put himself in his work: "Can I participate in the crew formation and negotiate with the actors?"

Of course, Ronan would not take this matter to heart and said, "This is your power."

After talking about "The Devil Wearing Prada", Lindsay Bill handed another stack of documents to Ronan and said, "Do you remember Lydia said that her school life is richer than Mean Girls? Based on the life of the Upper East Side aristocratic school she described and the information provided, I simply compiled an outline of the material."

Ronan followed the look and the content mainly tells the life of a group of wealthy children from the Upper East Side of New York in school. It is roughly the debauchery and fighting between boys and girls, which has a bit of the flavor of "Tiny Times".

Of course, Lindsay Bill sorted out the material, not the script.

Among the materials, high school students drinking, Lan Jiao and intrigue with each other are as ordinary as drinking water and eating.

After roughly reading the materials, Ronan could only sigh in secret. If Lydia Hurst’s description was true, the school life of these rich children would not only be described as wonderful? Just say Lydia Hurst, she described herself as having formally dated three boyfriends in the eleventh grade and had sex with her sister Amanda Hurst’s boyfriend...

Looking at these, thinking about your previous high school career is more than just a hard time.

At that time, as a high school student at the turn of the century, he was a little closer to a girl. Once the teacher discovered it, it would be a great event. Please go to the office to chat and have a heart-to-heart talk. Maybe he would call his parents.

There are students who are expelled from their early love every year.

Having said that, no matter how big and ugly the school uniform is, it cannot block the upset hearts of some people.

The school at that time also had good intentions.

Putting down the material files, Ronan thought of an American drama from these, which seemed to be starring Black Lively. He has not watched it specifically, but occasionally browsed the relevant introduction.

Black Lively was a typical Hollywood traffic star. Ronan knew that her nickname "Queen S" seemed to be obtained from that drama.

If you remember correctly, it should be called "Gossip Girl".

By the way, I remember that at that time, the production company on the other side of the Pacific bought the copyright and adaptation rights of "Gossip Girl" and prepared to shoot the Oriental version of "Gossip Girl".

If you really want to remake, many things will be overturned and started over again. As a youth campus American drama, you will start to do something wrong with each other, and the relationship between men and women is in chaos. If Dongfang shoots high school students like this, it will be 100% of them.

The cultural and social environment are completely different.

It seems that the shadow of "Gossip Girl" is in that movie "Tiny Times".

Ronan had limited knowledge of Gossip Girl, so he simply asked directly: "Lin Sai, what do you think about this?"

Lindsay Bill is also a relatively experienced screenwriter, saying: "I think these are very valuable for adaptation. Ordinary people have always envied the lives of the rich and are also curious about the school life of the children of the rich, so they have a certain audience base."

Ronan asked, "Movie?"

"The movie is too short." Lindsay Bill pointed to the text and said, "These are only part of Lydia's story. She promised me that as long as I can use it, I can collect more relevant materials through her sister Amanda Hurst and other friends. I think it might be better to shoot a TV series."

She glanced at Ronan and asked, "Have you seen "**City"?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "I haven't seen it, but I know a little bit."

Lindsay Bill said again: "If possible, can we make it into the youth version of "** City"?"

Ronan pondered for a moment and said, "Lin Sai. You can take out a script first and write a plot of two or three episodes, and then we will discuss it with the Shahai Entertainment Production Department."

"Yes." Lindsay Bill was very confident: "This kind of female theme has a lot of audiences on small screens. If we operate properly, it may become a trendy trend for American teenagers."

Ronan said directly: "The preliminary work of this project will be handed over to you. You can form a team for preliminary planning."

No matter what, there should be a certain market for films and TV dramas about the life of wealthy people in the Upper East District.

New York's Upper East Side is a living circle of urban elites, occupying the city center, a place where famous wealthy people gather, and has always been the focus of attention.

I remember someone said that if you love him, send him to New York, because it is heaven; if you hate him, send him to New York, because it is hell.

New York has always been the place where the stories that Hollywood movies and TV dramas like to take place.

After seeing off Lindsay Bill, Ronan also considered this project, especially the actors. At that time, they would inevitably have to be linked to youth and fashion, and youth and outstanding.

You must choose an actor with outstanding appearance and figure, at least you cannot show someone who is too ugly to bear.

This drama can directly chant that appearance is justice!

In the next few days, Ronan was working on film projects. Tony Koch, who was far away in Germany, called. The film "Eavesdropping Storm" that Ronan finalized investment last year has been filmed and will soon enter the post-production stage. Embassy Films is applying for the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival for the film.

This kind of silly film that is closely related to politics is the most suitable way to participate in the Berlin Film Festival and must take the award-winning route. Without a few awards, it can't attract many audiences at all.

It’s better to expect mainstream audiences to be fascinated by such films without awards.

"Epiphany Storm" not only wants to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but will also go to North America to participate in the Hollywood awards season selection. The ultimate goal is to win the Oscars' Best Foreign Language Film Awards.

In addition, there will also be relativistic entertainment films at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Will Smith's main "When Happiness Comes Knocks" will participate in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

The purpose is of course to promote this typical American dream, and it is too unlikely to win awards at the French Film Festival.

Starting from February, the films released by Embassy Pictures will be released one after another, including some sequels of popular films. This year, the number of films released by Embassy Pictures has exceeded ten. Just like last year, there will be basically any films released every month, and two more will be released in some months.

The first film released by Embassy Pictures was "The Passion of Jesus" directed by Mel Gibson.

This movie with a special theme was held in the North American painting schedule the weekend before this year's Oscars.

The schedule is not very good. The best schedule in February is Valentine's Day, but the "Crucifixion" is a painting that makes oneself seeking death when he is in the Valentine's Day.

How many couples will watch this kind of movie during Valentine's Day? Is it necessary for a couple to use the video to cleanse their souls...

Ronan was not worried about the possible controversy of this video, because most of the content of the film was adapted from the New Testament.

Besides, there is also director and producer Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson is a person who is difficult to control and can be just a little bit. During the film promotion, a reporter once questioned his purpose of filming. Mel Gibson directly claimed that he would pay $100 million from the box office of the film to donate it to the traditional Catholic movement organization.
