Chapter 958 Professionals
The sun in the sky hid behind the dark clouds, and the dim light made the road ahead a little dark. Several Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles crossed the long canyon and entered a farm along the broken road, and finally stopped near the farm's barn.
Here, more than a dozen crew members were busy, and there were hanging arms in the air, as if they were repairing the house.
Ronan opened the car door and did not go over immediately, but stood outside.
This is a farm east of Los Angeles. The farmer has already gone bankrupt due to poor management, resulting in the farmhouse and barns being slightly dilapidated.
Standing in front of the car, Ronan roughly observed that the farm was finally selected as the outdoor venue for "Luxing", which was not without reason.
The farm is far away from the city, so no one can disturb it easily. The dilapidated facilities can create a horrifying atmosphere with a sense of desolation.
In the United States, many horror legends actually originate from sparsely populated rural villages and towns.
Looking further, Ronan suddenly felt unrealistic.
On the left side of the farm's residential area, there is a wooden two-story building. I don't know what the owner of the previous year thought, and the building was painted gray-black.
At the entrance of the main entrance of the building, a tree planted, and a branch on the tree extends horizontally, scattering across the air directly in front of the building.
This type of tree has an elegant name on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, called the crooked neck tree.
Legend has it specifically used for hanging people who are desperate.
Ronan said to Finch next to him: "Has anyone died here? Unusual death."
"No." Finch didn't quite understand why Ronan asked this, and communicated with the people next to him, confirming the answer: "There has never been an abnormal death here."
He asked with concern: "Boss, is there anything wrong?"
Luo Nan shook his head slightly: "It's okay."
Wen Ziren walked over with a very old-looking woman.
"Hi, Ronan." Wen Ziren took the initiative to introduce: "This is Rowling Warren, the special consultant of the crew. Rowling, this is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment."
Ronan looked at the old woman and shook her hands: "Hello, Mrs. Warren."
Although Rowling Warren is old and engaged in a charlatan career, she looks more like a scholar. She smiled at Ronan politely: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Wan Ziren interrupted: "Rolling accepted my invitation, and the next few horror films will serve as special consultants on the crew."
Ronan nodded slightly: "I believe that Mrs. Warren's special experience will provide great help to the movie."
"Mr. Anderson is so polite." Rowling Warren was always gentle: "This is also to justify Ed and me."
She said seriously: "Ed and I have suffered too much criticism. Many people never believe in the research we do. This career is very important to us."
An assistant director came over, Wan Ziren said a few words to him, whispered to Ronan, and went to the place where the crew was.
Rowling Warren did not leave, but looked at Ronan curiously and suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Anderson believe there are ghosts and evil spirits in this world?"
Ronan said without hesitation: "I have never considered this issue."
The answer was unexpected. Rowling Warren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The words he prepared behind instantly stuck in his throat, and he was wondering in his heart, why didn't this person play according to the routine at all?
Believe means believing, not believing means not believing. What does it mean to never consider it?
Rowling Warren did not give up easily and said, "For the past fifty years, Ed and I have been regarded as the most outstanding experts in the fields of soul and demonology. We have been repeatedly summoned by the church to investigate some evil spirit phenomena in the country..."
Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I heard James Win talk about your situation."
Rowling Warren smiled: "In our career, we have been exposed to more than 10,000 supernatural events."
"So what?" Ronan simply asked directly: "What does Mrs. Warren mean?"
Rowling Warren said very seriously: "If Mr. Anderson encounters confusion in the future, or some difficult events that cannot be solved, I can provide consultation and help."
Ronan understood what she meant, and he regarded himself as a potential big customer!
Thinking about the past Pacific Ocean, and looking at Steve Jobs, it seems that this is not a rare thing among the rich.
Luo Nan replied casually: "If you need it, I will."
Rowling Warren nodded slightly to Ronan, took the initiative to hand over the business card, then turned around and said goodbye, without saying a word, very well-known in the legend.
Ronan glanced at the business card and gave it to Finch next to him: "If you encounter evil spirits in the future, go find her."
Finch put away his business card, looked awkward and said, "You won't believe what she said is true, right?"
Ronan laughed: "Even if there is really a ghost, there is something suitable for it."
Finch asked curiously, "What?"
Ronan shook his head and said nothing. The curious Finch could only follow him helplessly.
There are some things that Ronan would not say casually, after all, it is a kingdom of faith in God.
But then again, many of the words on the other side of the Pacific are really famous sayings, such as having money can make the devil push.
In North America, a super business society, with Ronan's wealth and wealth, the role that money can play is beyond imagination.
As for Rowling Warren and Ed Warren, it is really hard to comment on, and some things in this world are hard to explain.
For example, many of his colleagues were firm materialists before they had children, but after they had children, their positions were immediately different, because children had many diseases, and sometimes the role that medicine could play was not as great as imagined. Instead, things like witches and other things have outstanding effects.
Luo Nan still remembers that a relative came to the city where he worked to see the child. After various examinations, there were no abnormalities. However, the child was not energetic and could not eat. Finally, the attending doctor hinted: Do you consider factors outside the hospital?
It's a weird saying. I just went back and called someone twice, and the child would be fine...
This is something Ronan has experienced personally and is extremely impressed.
The authenticity of the Warrens' experiences is not important. What is important is that their experiences are adapted into movies and can bring huge benefits to relativistic entertainment.
Accompanied by Finch and other bodyguards, Ronan circled around the farm.
This farm is very large and has a large grape plantation. Because no one takes care of it, the grapes basically rotten in the field. The smell of wine after the fruit rots floats over from a distance.
"How many acres are there?" Ronan asked Finch.
"Well..." Finch made a rough estimate: "It should be thousands of acres added up."
Ronan asked: "Is it feasible to buy it and build a racetrack?"
Finch thought for a while and said, "It may take some procedures."
Ronan said: "You go back and say hello to Connie and ask her to collect relevant information."
This is not far from Beverly Hills. If the helicopter you ordered is in place, you can fly over at most twenty minutes.
As for the procedures and other issues, it is not a problem for Relativity Entertainment at all.
Near noon, Wen Ziren, who had finished his work, came over, and Ronan simply had lunch with him.
"I plan to use the bungalow on the east side of the farm to shoot "Luxing"." Wen Ziren also planned the purpose of the farm to shoot: "The wooden building area on the west side will be used to shoot "Soul Conjuring" next year."
Luo Nan nodded slightly and said, "I feel that this farm is gloomy and the atmosphere is very suitable for shooting."
Wen Ziren continued: "I looked at more than 20 outdoor locations before choosing this place, because I was attracted by the gloomy atmosphere it has."
Ronan couldn't help laughing: "I hope I won't scare the actors when filming nightclubs."
I vaguely remember that there was a man who specialized in ghost stories who died of a sudden heart disease. There was a rumor that he was scared to death.
Wan Ziren said: "No, the crew is all people who really love horror movies." He pointed out: "Besides, we have a special consultant, she is a professional."
Judging from the various information collected by the crew, Rowling Warren is indeed a professional, and there are more than one church-born people who are willing to prove her.
But no one can guarantee the specificity. Wen Ziren, who had in-depth contact with the Warren and his wife, can only say that the other party is a supernatural investigator, and he doesn't know the rest.
Anyway, everything is for the movie needs.
After lunch and staying in the crew for a while, Ronan was about to say goodbye and leave.
Wen Ziren suddenly came to him and said, "I heard that Director Huang has submitted a new project to the company, and you have been pressing it?"
Ronan knew that he was talking about James Huang: "I've been too busy recently and haven't seen his project yet. I'll talk about it when I go back and see it."
Relativity Entertainment has cooperated with many Chinese directors, and these Chinese directors are also watching over each other and helping each other. Wan Ziren specifically mentioned James Huang, which is also a reminder.
Wan Ziren said: "I recently received news that James has begun to discuss cooperation with 20th Century Fox in a new project. If the company wants to continue working with him, the action will be faster."
Ronan knew that this was for the entertainment of relativity, so he immediately said, "I'll go back and check out the project information first. What's the specific thing? I'll let someone contact James Huang."
He remembered very clearly that James Huang had already stated that he would no longer direct the "Death is Coming" series, and instead continued to pursue a new path.
In this regard, neither him nor relativity entertainment can stop it, nor any reason to stop it.
After all, James Huang’s director contract with Relativity Entertainment has expired and he is a director who can choose freely.
It has always been Ronan's attitude towards directors, actors or other staff he has worked with.
Even if the two sides end their cooperation, they may also start new cooperation in the future.
As soon as he went to work the next day, Ronan asked Connie to take James Huang's new project information and give priority to looking.
Just saw the name of the new project...
