Chapter 81 The British Director
After handling the work at hand, Luo Nan left the crew after work. As soon as he got off to the first floor lobby, he saw a blonde woman waving to him.
"Hi, Ronan." Catherine Heiger came directly, and a bald man was following him: "Long time no see."
Ronan responded with a smile: "Hello, Catherine."
He knew that the crew of "Roseville" had reopened the filming. He had been busy after getting the phone number from Katherine Heiger. If he hadn't met today, he would have forgotten this woman.
The bald man crossed over Katherine Heiger and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Ronan shook his hand: "Hello..."
Katherine Heiger introduced: "This is my agent, Dean McCrain."
The bald man smiled and said, "Just call me Dean." He didn't go around in circles and said directly: "Two days ago, I saw two documents sent by Shahai Entertainment in William Morris's mailroom, "The God of Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent", two very interesting projects, so I want to talk to you."
Ronan sent so many invitations, and finally saw someone responding, and nodded immediately and said, "Go to my office to talk."
He took these two people back to the office on the second floor.
Katherine Heiger looked at the office curiously. It was very simple and ordinary, and there seemed to be nothing special.
"Congratulations on your success in the last movie," she said with a compliment: "A movie with a 50 million dollar box office was born in front of me, it's incredible to think about it."
Luo Nan said modestly: "It's just good luck."
"Luck is also a manifestation of strength." Caitlin Heigl smiled extremely brightly: "You have to plan two projects this time, which is amazing."
Ronan smiled and did not respond.
Dean coughed and reminded Catherine Heigle to stop at the right time. This girl has good potential, but unfortunately she sometimes makes people speechless.
"Mr. Anderson, the story and creativity of the script "The God of Death" are quite interesting." Dean has limited qualifications in William Morris and is temporarily an ordinary agent, but he also has his own judgment: "Director James Huang's ability to direct horror films has been fully proven in "The Human Purge Plan". I think this project will definitely be successful."
These half-commend and half-analytical words made people feel relieved when they heard it. Ronan smiled confidently and said, "Thank you."
Dean glanced at Catherine Heigle and said, "In the information you sent to William Morris, "The God of Death is Coming" requires a heroine, a young, beautiful and good-acting actress. What do you think of Catherine?"
Ronan asked Catherine Heiger: "There is no conflict with the schedule of "Roseville"?"
"No." Katherine Heiger immediately replied: "Roseville will end filming early next month."
The TV series has been filmed in total for twenty-two episodes so far, and according to the news she received, there will be no renewal in the future.
That is to say, she needs to find a new job.
Ronan looked at Catherine Heiger. The actress was about 20 years old. In terms of metric system, she was about 1.75 meters tall. She had a graceful temperament and a top-notch figure.
The appearance is really good alone.
The only bad impression is that the speed of changing faces back and forth when we first met was too fast.
However, this is nothing, most people in Hollywood are like this, even he himself sometimes.
"I will say hello to the casting director." Ronan is doing business: "Let him add Catherine to the audition list."
Hearing this, Katherine Heiger frowned slightly and competed with those little actors? This is not what she wanted.
Dean smiled and said, "Catherine is a star. Mr. Anderson, stars can't be treated like ordinary actors, right?"
Ronan didn't make any more controversy in this regard, saying, "Catherine, you can go directly to the final round of auditions. Dean, you go to the casting director Jason tomorrow."
A person who can play supporting actresses in science fiction series should not be a problem with basic acting skills.
Moreover, participating in the third round of auditions may not be able to pass. It is not only the audition that determines the candidates for actors, but also factors such as pay.
Katherine Heiger looked at the agent, as if he wanted the agent to fight for better conditions. Dean shook his head slightly. This was already a good condition.
Could it be that the crew would negotiate directly without auditioning? She is not Julia Roberts, so it is impossible.
Dean no longer mentioned Catherine Heiger's story: "I read the information of your other project "Ace Agents". It's very interesting, but I don't quite understand one thing. Why do I have to let the Abera be the protagonist? This will lose the North American market."
Ronan's financing could not be hidden from anyone who was interested, and said half-truely: "This is the request of the investor."
Dean said with some regret: "What a pity this subject."
Ronan did not answer his words, but asked, "Do you have a suitable actor or director recommendation?"
"I personally judge that if this subject is well shot, it will be very good," Dean said. "However, the Arab protagonist is an instability factor."
He seemed to be very sincere: "I do have directors and actors who are suitable for this subject, but I have to be responsible for the client. If this video is screwed up, it will be very unfavorable for my client's future."
Ronan smiled and said, "Dean, you underestimate the market consumption capacity of minority audiences too much. The box office of "Human Purge Plan" in North America is more than 65% from minority audiences. The live score of the video by minority audiences is as high as 7.5 points. Without the support of minority audiences, there would be no success of "Human Purge Plan".
While speaking, he opened the filing cabinet, took out a data file, and handed it to Dean.
After taking it, Dean frowned slightly. The data came from cinema score, and there was little possibility of fraud.
Ronan continued: "The proportion of minority audiences in North American theaters is increasing every month, and they will soon grow into a consumer force that cannot be ignored. It is true that the North American box office of this "Ace Agent" may not reach the height of "Human Purge Plan", but don't forget that there is an increasingly broad overseas market. In addition to the European and American markets, the ethnicity of the protagonist is not the key."
Dean carefully looked at the data, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Ronan Anderson was targeted, and the market survey was done quite well in the early stages.
Ronan asked again: "Do you have a suitable director recommendation? I don't want newcomers."
Dean closed the information and said: "I have a director client, a British man. I have participated in the shooting of many TV series before. Last year, I filmed a romantic film. This film won an award at the Brussels International Fantasy Film Festival."
"Love movie?" Ronan frowned.
“He said he was best at shooting action scenes, but there were too few opportunities to shoot action movies in Europe,” Dean continued, “so he came to Hollywood.”
Ronan nodded gently: "This is the case, I'll meet him and talk to him."
The director of the crew is a two-way choice. If you like me, I may not like you, and vice versa.
Dean thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll bring him here tomorrow."
The credibility of large Hollywood agencies is relatively high. The next morning, Dean brought his directorial client to Ronan's office.
Generally speaking, Hollywood new directors are in their thirties, and even in their twenties, many films are directed.
But beyond Ronan's expectations, Dean brought a person who was fifty years old just looking.
The British director has fluffy hair and a solid figure. The face of an ordinary British man is covered with rough and green stubble. When he does not tighten his serious brows, deep wrinkles will appear on his forehead. He wears ordinary round-frame glasses and has thick and black eyebrows.
Ronan has a bad first impression of this director because his appearance looks very similar to the European art school.
For a commercial film company boss like him, the European arts director is too terrible.
