In the office, Ronan sat quietly on the sofa, patiently waiting for Paul Greengras to read the full version of the script of "Ace Agent".

The British director is worth waiting for because he knows that the other party has strength.

Speaking of Paul Greengrass, perhaps not many people know him, but when it comes to several movies he directed, many movie fans must have watched it.

Ronan has done some simple research on Paul Greengras' shooting techniques and editing style, and has even seen all his films from "Flying Thoughts" to "Spy Shadows 5".

Unfortunately, as the victim of the special 3D, Ronan was so sad that he vomited when he watched "Spy Shadows 5".

I had just had a brief exchange. Paul Greengras filmed a movie in the 1980s and later moved into the TV series industry. Now I have just returned to the movie industry from the TV industry. I have only filmed two movies. The "Bloody Sunday" that won the Berlin Golden Bear Award has not yet been seen.

After Paul Greengras filmed "Flying Thoughts", he came to Hollywood without finding a chance, and then returned to the UK. He won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for his second film "Bloody Sunday", and entered Hollywood again, and finally won the director position of the last two films of "Spy Shadows".

Paul Greengrass was reading the script while conceiving a picture that suited his own style in his mind. Such an action film with a high investment is a rare opportunity, but the setting of the male protagonist in the film is like a joke.

Although he had never set foot in commercial movies, he also knew that the Arabs were a little outrageous as the absolute protagonist.

I just said no? I was a little reluctant to let it go. Isn’t it just to shoot the action movie I want to shoot?

Only action movies are the best carriers of the styles he wants to try.

Paul Greengrass closed the script, passed the plot in his mind, and asked, "Mr. Anderson, what kind of action movie do you want to make?"

If the style he imagines is too different, there is no need to consider it.

Some directors have a strong personal style. Ronan knows very well that Paul Greengrass is exactly one of them.

Directors like this have extremely high requirements for style.

It is estimated that Paul Greengrass once came to Hollywood to swim around and then went back, which is related to not meeting the ideal video.

His style is undoubtedly a bit ahead of the mainstream commercial action movies in Hollywood now.

Ronan is willing to try because he knows that the action style that is so fast that it is dazzling is really a market.

In fact, the warm action movie is outdated in the market. Michael Mann's "The Story of Fire" is not unconventional. The gunfight clips even robbers use to learn how to rob banks, but the slow pace has caused the film to be far from reaching the expected market popularity when it was released.

The pace of action movies must be fast. On the basis of fast, it can also make people have a bright style, which is closer to success.

For example, Michael Bay's action movies are so fast that they want to fly.

Ronan said slowly: "I wrote this script. The narrative I imagined is simple and clear, the director's technique is clean and neat, the rhythm should be fast, and the action shots should be sharp... How to say it, the action scenes should try an ultra-short shot edit that is more sharp than Michael Bay."

Paul Greengrass was silent, but was clearly in thinking.

Ronan can stop at the right time. Although it is relatively difficult to find a director, it is not a must for someone.

Paul Greengrass suddenly spoke: "Hollywood blockbusters have always been high-cost, highly industrialized production models, which emphasize universality and reject personalization. But the inherent action movie mode always makes people tired of it, and the audience is bored with the new and old."

Ronan nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement: "It makes sense."

Pure Hollywood action movies are about to fall soon.

Ronan's words about the film's idea just now were recognized by Paul Greengrass, and this recognition of concept also aroused his interest in this director's position.

But he thought it would be best to say something in advance so as not to have an unpleasant future and end up in vain.

Paul Greengrass said: "I envision a style, handheld photography, fragment editing, bullet-like fast pace."

He further said: "One more, today's action shots always have various flaws, especially actors and action design. Fragmented sharp editing can not only make up for the shortcomings of actors' movements, but also cover up the shortcomings of action design, create a fierce and sharp action style, and bring huge visual impact to the audience."

Ronan knew very well what style this was. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is not much different from what I imagined. I can accept that you are suitable for this director position."

"You talk to my agent about the contract." Paul Greengrass is as clean and neat as his film editing.

Ronan didn't talk nonsense, stood up and shook hands with him: "Happy cooperation."

After seeing off Paul Greengrass, Ronan and Dean agreed to discuss Paul Greengrass' directorial contract for another day.

Back at the office, he called George Clint.

"George, go and check the copyright of a novel." Ronan ordered: "Who is the copyright of Robert Lu Delun's "Borne's Identity"?"

If I remember correctly, the original author of the film and television copyright of this novel would have been sold long ago.

George replied on the phone: "Okay, I'll go now."

Ronan put down the phone. In fact, after coming here, he checked the copyrights of many adapted movies, just like the "Lord of the Rings" series. The copyrights of many novels and even well-known documentary works, especially those published earlier works, sold their copyrights long before the filming of the movie.

Even there are many copyrights scattered among several people or companies.

Luo Nan suppressed the restlessness in his heart and knew that he could not be anxious. The company had just gotten on the right track, so it was not a good thing to be too anxious.

The next day, Ronan and Dean negotiated on Paul Greengrass' directorial contract. The two sides negotiated all day and reached an agreement smoothly.

Director Paul Greengrass has a salary of US$500,000. He officially joined the crew of "Ace Agents" from the signing of the contract. He also served as a producer, participated in the preparation, shooting and post-production throughout the process, and had the right to recommend editing.

The final editing rights are still in Ronan's hands.

After getting the director's candidate, the preparations for "Ace Agents" have been accelerated. Due to the need to take into account two projects and the crew's account handling, Ronan asked George Clint to serve as the producer manager of the project.

Of course, like "Human Purge Plan", people like Ronan and others can also receive corresponding crew positions and pay in addition to the company's expenses and crew accounts.

Hollywood's fine industry practices must always be followed.

Paul Greengrass is a very thoughtful director and quickly recommended action guidance to Ronan. After Ronan confirmed the interview, the action guidance joined the crew and began to design action routines based on Paul Greengrass's action concept, plus training the male protagonist Muhammad.

A super Arabian agent has to wear a white robe, a headscarf, fly over the eaves and walk around the walls, and easily kill a hundred people...

This is just Ronan's unreliable idea. Paul Greengrass is a reliable director. The male lead in the preliminary design is of course not an Arab dress that can become the center of the world wherever he goes, but a typical agent with great skills and black technology.

Ronan appropriately delegated a lot of the power of the crew to George Clint and Paul Greengrass, a typical Hollywood-style and atypical Hollywood protagonist film. He also hopes that Paul Greengrass can make better films.

"The Death is Coming" and "Ace Agents" have begun to recruit actors on a large scale, and Ronan is also preparing to go to the St. Dennis Film Festival for a walk.
