Chapter 154 The value of the gunman
"You haven't responded to the manuscript email I sent you for more than three weeks."
In the office, Lindsay Bill said to Ronan with a delicate face slightly tilted, "Have you read those manuscripts?"
Ronan put down the work at hand and said, "I just finished watching yesterday, so I'll talk to you about it."
Lindsay Bill and Ronan were also familiar with each other. They knew that this was a gentle person and asked, "What are the areas of the manuscript that need to be modified?"
"It's very good overall." The manuscript that Ronan just read, and the first "Twilight" has been written nearly half. It can be said that Lindsay Bill is very fast and efficient. He said the truth: "Linsae, the manuscript you wrote is much better than I expected."
"Thank you." Lindsay Bill was very happy about his work being recognized.
Ronan encouraged the young employee in time: "Non-mainstream pagan civilizations, various folk beliefs, myths and legends are all reflected in your manuscript, and there are also many confrontations of contradictions, which also enhances the attraction of the story. The love between humans and vampires, the competition between vampires and werewolfs, the competition between vampires, etc., are all very interesting."
Lindsay Bill's pursed lips were obviously smiling.
Ronan only provides an outline skeleton. The book also requires Lindsay Bill to continue filling the flesh and ask: "You have written nearly half of the plot story. Do you have any more ideas? Let's talk about it."
Inspired by Ronan's words, Lindsay Bill thought for a while and said, "The tragic love between human girl Bella and vampire Edward is the main line of the story. This forbidden pure love story is like the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, sweet and bitter, and full of contradictions."
Ronan nodded slightly. In his impression, the focus of this series was the entanglement between men and women who were in love until they died.
Lindsay Bill continued: "I think Bella is unrestrained in love with Edward on the one hand, and as a human being, she is full of fear of the blood clan, and Edward's love for Bella is even more contradictory. Bella is his soul mate who has longed for a century, but the nature of a vampire and his desire for blood prevented him from approaching. He loves Bella, and his desire to protect her is as strong as his desire to absorb her blood."
"No," said Ronan, the young female gunman, who is of a good level. "We have roughly the same idea."
What I fear most is that the gunman and the employer's ideas are completely different, and the things I write are all waste materials.
Lindsay Bill seems to be a little fanatical: "The metaphor of the lion falling in love with the Lamb can vividly analyze the passionate and contradictory, enduring and affectionate love between the two."
It seems that young women yearn for this kind of love infinitely.
Lindsay Bill's beautiful eyes were straight: "Great love should be like the little mermaid. For the sake of the beloved prince, he does not consider all real issues such as race and outcome. In the face of true love, no problem can stop the pace of true love."
Hearing this, Ronan didn't know what to say. No wonder so many young girls in his previous life were poisoned by "Twilight". Even Lindsay Bill, the gunman, seemed to be infected.
Beautiful love fantasy.
Once upon a time, he was also one of them, but unfortunately this stage was over in his previous life, so it was impossible to do it again.
What Lindsay Bill said is undoubtedly beneficial to the novel, and Ronan certainly agrees: "These can be reflected in the novel."
"Okay! OK!" Lindsay Bill didn't expect Ronan to be so happy.
This is much more free than when he was a gunman in those small crews before. The group leaders of the script teams all gave them tight rules. Anything that was written that exceeded the rules and regulations would be a scattered scolding.
Now I am writing novels, not scripts, so Ronan’s requirements are not so strict and asked, “Are there any other ideas?”
Lindsay Bill said again: "The heroine's setting. What you wrote before was not very detailed. I made some additions to set her as an ordinary high school student."
"No," Ronan praised "Lin Sai, you have a talent for business writing."
He asked, "Tell me what you think?"
Lindsay Bill organized the language and said: "I think setting Bella as an ordinary high school girl will make Bella the most ideal protagonist in the love story, because she is just like many girls, ordinary, ordinary but cute, and can allow many female readers to find their own shadow in Bella."
After hearing these remarks, Ronan couldn't help but look at Lindsay Bill seriously. The ones he said before were very thoughtful, but they were not as good as the last point.
A successful business writer or screenwriter must know how to grasp the psychology of ordinary audiences.
The value of this female gunman is not limited to ghostwriter.
The screenwriter team recruited lacks a leader and may expand later, and personnel will inevitably come in and out, need a suitable project manager, and must be an expert.
Maybe Lindsay Bill is the right person?
If the cooperation is good in the future and the other party still has the idea of continuing to cooperate, she can ask her to try it.
Ronan discussed with Lindsay Bill some contents, such as the preface and Bella's dreams. It was almost 10:30 in the morning and said, "Write what you said, and we will discuss it when you finish the book."
"Okay." Lindsay Bill was excited.
Ronan gave her certain freedom, because Lindsay Bill has grasped the key to the novel. As long as he continues to write it according to this idea, the details may change, but there will be no problems with the inner core and main plot.
After looking at the time, Ronan left the company, first went to the nearby mall to buy a few small gifts, and then drove his own Cadillac to the Brencket neighborhood of Los Angeles.
A few days ago, Scott of Merrill Lynch invited Ronan to his house as a guest, and Ronan agreed.
The Brunckett neighborhood is also one of the settlements of wealthy people in Los Angeles. Of course, it is not as good as the Beverly Hills, but it is also a villa-based community.
Scott's home is a detached small villa with front and back yards, covering an area of hundreds of square meters. The main building is a white European three-story building.
"I just bought it this month." Scott greeted Ronan with a smile. "I want to invite you to the party when I move, you are not in Los Angeles."
Ronan handed the gift to Scott's blonde wife and said, "I went on a business trip to London and stayed there for more than half a month." He looked at the exquisitely decorated living room: "Can you take me to your new home?"
Scott immediately led the way and led Ronan around the house.
This kind of independent villa has plenty of space and is close to the neighbors on both sides. Even if the home is a little messy, it will not disturb the neighbors and is quieter than the building apartment.
After seeing Scott's new home, Ronan couldn't help but think about changing a house, but thinking that it is early 2000, the stock market may collapse at any time, which will inevitably trigger a chain economic reaction. I'll wait for a while before talking about it.
Ronan returned to the living room and praised: "A very beautiful house."
Scott's wife Andrea responded: "The mortgage is scary, too."
Several people laughed.
With Scott's financial resources, of course, he cannot pay the full payment for such a large house in one go. It is normal for people here to pay mortgages and credit cards, and it is normal to get loans.
Ronan speculates that maybe Scott gets a commission from his stock transactions in the down payment of the house.
A week ago, all his stock income was paid. After deducting taxes and intermediary commissions, he invested $14 million twice, and finally earned $48.5 million.
Transfer tax, income tax, capital gain tax...it seems that the tax bureau is the big winner.
The chaotic footsteps sounded at this time, and two children, a man and a woman, ran down the stairs. The little girl running in front was round and her face became fat. The little boy behind him was not too arrogant and was also a standard little fat man.
"Mr. Anderson." The girl came to Ronan and said politely: "Thank you for your banjo."
Ronan smiled and said, "Call me Ronan." He reached out and rubbed the girl's curly blonde hair: "Taylor, you're welcome, you'll like it."
Taylor tilted his head and looked at Ronan: "How do you know I like the banjo?"
Ronan immediately threw the pot to Scott: "I heard your dad talk about it once."
Taylor smiled and said, "I like your gift very much, thank you." Then, she stretched out her round arms and pulled the little boy who was also round behind her: "Austin..."
The boy was a little shy, but at the urging of his sister, he said, "Thank you."
When lunch time was up, the hostess invited Ronan into the restaurant. Ronan was not polite and sat next to the dining table. It could be seen that Scott intended to bring his relationship closer and obviously wanted to develop him into a long-term customer.
After chatting about interesting family events, Scott's topic inevitably turned to investment: "Ronan, do you not plan to invest again with such a large amount of money? The market situation is very good now, and it is rising every day. The money invested today may even benefit ten percent tomorrow. I invested all my money into the stock market. Believe me, Ronan! This is a good opportunity!"
Ronan has read some relevant information and knows that Nasdaq and Internet stocks are now in a hurry.
Although it is a bit strange that Nasdaq has no sign of collapse, he will definitely not spend money on it again.
"I don't plan to touch the stock market again in the short term." Ronan reminded him slightly, seeing that Scott's family treats him well: "Scott, you know the stock market better than me. Is this normal now? I think the profits that can get are the real profits, and the wealth in the stock market will shrink at any time."
But Scott insisted: "There will be no problem in the short term."
