The sun had just climbed up between the tall buildings in Century City. The Relativity Building had not yet begun its busy day. Lloyd Reese and Paul Venic were waiting at the door of an office led by the staff of Sand Sea Entertainment.

Paul Venic walked back and forth uneasyly and asked Little Rees, who was sitting on the bench: "Are you sure you received a call from Sand Sea Entertainment yesterday?"

Little Reese pointed to the corridor: "Paul, we are inside the Relativity Building."

"I just couldn't believe it." Paul Venick gently patted his arm: "Relativity Entertainment actually took a fancy to our script."

Little Reese sighed: "It's not Ronan Anderson who is interested in our script."

Paul Venic said a little depressed, "We left the reality show and entered the film industry to seek development. We started writing scripts last year and completed them at the beginning of this year. The scripts were sold in circles and not sold for half a year. If there was no result at the end of the year, I had to go back to my hometown to inherit the farm."

This seemed to hit Little Reese: "You have a huge farm that can be inherited. If you can't sell the script, I can't even afford the rent."

Before CBS worked as a screenwriter without the right to sign for more than a year and transferred to Hollywood, although he had some expectations for the difficulties, the actual difficulties were still beyond imagination.

In their script, it is not only as simple as newcomers and new works, but also funny zombie themes are not popular at all. Those film companies use "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Night of the Living Dead" under Relativity Entertainment as the standards for new century zombie films, and disdain their scripts.

The experience of this past six months has caused Liote Rees and Paul Venic to repeatedly lower their psychological expectations, and the latter even had the idea of ​​giving up.

The sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded, and someone came over, and more than one more.

Little Rees and Paul Venic looked up and were stunned for a moment.

Two women came one after another, the latter obviously had an assistant or secretary role, and the former was the person they were going to meet during this trip.

They didn't expect that this woman's appearance was so outstanding.

He has both a delicate face like Jessica Alba and a hot figure like Salma Hayek.

Such a look is still at its top level even in Hollywood.

Paul Venick was puzzled in his heart, this woman chose the wrong industry! She could obviously be a star, why be a producer?

Little Rees was different, and the first thing he thought of was the relevant information he had checked: Jessica Felton, the producer and vice president of Shahai Entertainment, specializing in the production business, the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Coffin" and the unreleased "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World".

This woman is obviously a mixed-race person, and looks younger than her real age, and she is only in her twenties.

Just as Little Rees and Paul Venic were stunned for a moment, Jessica Felton had already come over and asked: "Are you Mr. Little Rees and Paul Venic?"

These words immediately made Lieutenant Reese and Paul Venic feel different. They didn't have the arrogance of other producers and the company's senior management, and their tone was very polite.

It is said that relativity entertainment attaches importance to newcomers, which can be seen from the attitude of this mixed-race woman.

Little Rees quickly said, "I am Little Rees. Hello, Miss Felton."

Paul Venick quickly calmed down and greeted Jessica Felton.

With Jessica Felton's shrewdness, it was quickly judged that these two people were obviously mainly Little Reese.

Inviting the two to enter the reception room, Jessica Felton asked his assistant to make two cups of coffee and went straight to the topic: "Two, I read the script of "Zombie Paradise" yesterday, and it felt very interesting, so I suggested to the company to buy your script."

"We are also willing to work with Relativity Entertainment," said Little Reese.

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "There is one thing I need to say before. "Zombie Paradise" is a new work, and the script transaction price will not be very high..."

"We understand." Lieutenant Rees exchanged a look with Paul Venic: "The price is easy to say, but we have two requirements."

Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "Please say."

Little Reese gave himself a lot of energy and said, "After buying the script of Relativity Entertainment, it must be shot into a movie as soon as possible..."

There are too many companies that buy scripts and throw them into the script library to fall into dust, and some of them have not seen the light of day for more than ten years.

With his situation with Paul Venic, I can't wait at all.

Jessica Felton could guess the other party’s thoughts, but did not speak, but waited for the other party to finish all the requests at once.

Little Rees continued: "After you establish the project, Paul and I will serve as the screenwriter for the group."

Doing so can ensure that in addition to the script transaction fees, the two of them can also get the salary.

There is no way. He and Paul Venick left the CBS reality show last year, and then they no longer had a stable income. In addition, they had no habit of saving at all, so they were already unable to make ends meet.

The two of them just discussed that they couldn't afford the rent and went home to inherit the farm were not a joke.

Jessica Felton also survived the newcomer. The scene when he was staying in a rental house to practice skills is vivid in his mind, and he can roughly guess the embarrassment of these two newcomer screenwriters.

It is precisely this situation that the requirements put forward by these two new screenwriters cannot be regarded as requirements.

"Yes." Jessica Felton responded: "This will be reflected in the transaction contract."

Strictly speaking, the requirements made by these two people are not considered conditions at all.

She had dinner with Ronan last night and discussed this project specifically during the period. She bought out "Zombie Paradise" to shoot a movie, and took advantage of the popularity caused by "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Land of the Living Dead" to launch it on the market as soon as possible.

The project will be established soon. After the crew is established, it is necessary to follow the screenwriter. Instead of rehiring personnel, it is better to continue using these two people.

The actual conditions facing Little Rees and Paul Venic are here, and there are no excessive demands.

Jessica Felton didn't have to deliberately suppress the price, so she traded under the normal market conditions in Hollywood. Shahai Entertainment bought out the full copyright of "Zombie Paradise" from these two people for $23,000.

The talks went very smoothly. After the lawyers of Little Rees and Paul Venick arrived, there were filing witnesses from relevant industries, and the two parties signed a copyright transfer agreement on the same day.

On the other hand, Ronan also met John Wilson, who served as the producer in "Prison Break 2".

This is someone who has worked with Relativity Entertainment for many years. He grew up with Relativity Entertainment. Continuing to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment is of course the first choice.

Moreover, with John Wilson's plan, it is not easy to get the copyright of the remake.

“Hollywood remakes of British dramas are common.”

In the office, John Wilson told Ronan: "There are many fires."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I took the time to watch the videotape you sent me yesterday. The series was well shot, and the characters and plot settings were also very interesting."

John Wilson said: "I think the story is completely feasible and more convincing. We can make some changes to become a true portrayal of the low-level society in the United States. Isn't the United States full of lower-level communities full of alcoholics, beggars and criminals?"

Ronan nodded slowly: "It makes sense."

Perhaps the description of "Happy America, shooting every day" is a bit exaggerated, but it can also be said to be a portrayal of the lower-level community.

"What do you think of American adaptation?" Ronan asked.

John Wilson heard the question and cheered up and said, "I thought so, moving the story backdrop from Manchester to Chicago. In the backdrop of the economic downturn, a family of ordinary workers, a head of an alcoholic family who is often found sleeping on the living room floor, and an incompetent mother whose eldest daughter has to bear the responsibility of raising five younger brothers and sisters.

This is a lively family life mixed with stories of love, adventure, fraud, warmth and other bloody and tears, showing the audience the lower-level family and life."

Relativity Entertainment is more familiar with John Wilson, and this is a reliable person, so after hearing this, Ronan said, "Where is the audience?"

John Wilson said: "Most Americans should be deeply moved by this. Life is firmly convinced that it is not easy. A simple living is very heavy, and sometimes it will have to make some choices."

Luo Nan suddenly thought that if this drama really needs to be filmed, it may also play a role in stabilizing society.

To describe it in dramatic language, this kind of drama is particularly inspiring. Whenever you encounter unfairness and feel bad, you will find that your difficulty is nothing compared to them. Life will continue, and the sun rises as usual...

Maybe I will feel this way: when I watch it, I feel dark and depressed, and even despair, and after watching it, I find that my life is really beautiful.

"That's it." Ronan made the decision: "John, go to the Copyright and Publishing Department to find Robert Lee, and ask him to send someone to accompany you to the UK to negotiate with the copyright holder of "Shameless". If you can get the copyright of the remake, you make a detailed plan."

John Wilson saw hope of hosting a project alone and immediately said, "I'll go now."

Ronan called Robert Lee in front of him.

Afterwards, John Wilson left Ronan's office and went to Robert Lee to exchange specific situations and prepared to go to the UK to purchase copyright.

After receiving Ronan's notice, Robert Lee quickly identified the capable personnel and called the British branch to ask them to help with all their strength.
