Orange County, a middle-class community.

When he arrived at the community theater, Paul stood at the door, looked at his watch, and was a little anxious: "That guy Mario, really Moji, why haven't he come yet?"

He was anxious and couldn't stand his feet, so he kept walking back and forth.

Two days ago, someone came to the door through the head of a community theater and invited him to attend a movie meeting and engage in a special performance. He only worked for three days and the salary was as high as US$2,000.

And after screening, he and Mario were all selected.

Although he worked part-time in this middle-class community theater, he was not a person here. Whether he or Mario, $2,000 is not a small number, which is equivalent to a normal income of more than a month.

Moreover, the other party and the dean of the community theater jointly promised that this work is not illegal.

Finally, the chubby Mario came to the entrance of the theater.

"Why did you come?" Paul complained: "We're going to sign the contract today, it's not good to be late."

Mario opened the coke in his hand, took a big sip, and said, "It's time."

Paul pulled him up and left: "Hurry up, this is a big business of $2,000! It's almost enough for your sister's living expenses next quarter."

This extra income is very important to them.

The two came to the office of the person in charge of the community theater and met the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance again.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Robert."

"Good afternoon." Robert took out a few documents and handed them to the two of them, saying, "This is a contract, you can take a look first."

Paul and Mario took it and looked it up.

The head of the community theater said at this time: "I can be the middleman and witness of the contract. If I don't feel at ease, we will go to a law firm later."

Paul hurriedly said, "No need to be so troublesome."

"Yeah! Yeah!" Mario kept nodding.

The conditions were agreed before, and there was a guarantee from someone who could trust them. After reading them, the two signed the contract. Although there were confidential terms, they had a reward of $2,000, so just shut up.

After signing the contract, the head of the community theater voluntarily left the office.

Robert opened his briefcase and handed the regular copy to Paul and Mario in duplicate, saying, "This is the project you are responsible for the performance, you can get familiar with it first."

The two of them took it and started reading it immediately. After only a few paragraphs, they felt relieved.

I was a little worried before, what if the other party asked to do an excessive performance? Paul took the lead and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Robert, don't worry, these are wrapped around me."

Robert reminded: "Remember to go to my place two days in advance to strengthen the practice."

"Aren't we all agreed?" Paul said confidently: "We will definitely abide by the contract."

I can’t get two thousand dollars in extra money income once a year.

Mario finished reading this time, shook the fat on his face and said, "This is not difficult. I can drink more Coke at that time to increase the authenticity."

Paul quickly agreed: "Yes! Yes! Let's just drink more Coke."

Robert nodded with a smile. These two people were old actors in the community theater and were also smart.

After dealing with Paul and Mario, Robert left the community theater and rushed to the next place. Ronan said it very well. It is always good to make more preparations, and passive waiting is not as good as proactive in fighting.

As for distribution, create favorable conditions outside of the video.

Ronan also kept in touch with publishers of several companies, and during this period he participated in a movie watching conference held by Lionsgate Pictures.

Like most movie-watching clubs in Hollywood, the audience of this movie-watching club is mainly composed of industry insiders and some movie fans, and their opinions will be valued by film companies.

After attending the normal movie watching meeting, Ronan further improved his plan. Although Hollywood has made many messy tricks in this era, it is still a bit worse than the future monster dance.

Time is growing, and Hollywood is constantly changing.

Before the crew moved from the San Fernando Valley to the Warner Studios for filming, Ronan went to the outdoor set again when the crew returned. Another crew had already entered the villa and was preparing for filming. He also brought a group of actresses with heavy makeup.

These actresses are all experts in love dramas, but unfortunately it was too early and Ronan could not find a face he knew.

Like Marlena Morgan, Tony Black, and others who he admires more, they may have to wait a few years before they debut.

Stormy Daniels, who was biting Twitter to rule the country, seemed to have not entered the valley either.

With these messy ideas in mind, Ronan sent an application to several independent film festivals such as the St. Dennis Film Festival after the crew returned to Los Angeles.

If you can't find the publisher, you can still take the path of film festival screening.

After James Huang and Ronan agreed on the shooting method of background action scenes, the crew's shooting speed further accelerated, and it entered the beginning of June, and it was already the ending stage.

I have to say that James Huang has accumulated rich experience in his film career in the first decade and is really good at shooting horror-type films.

Ronan didn't interfere much in the shooting, but came to the crew specifically when the crew was filming the last shot.

Bang-Bang-Bang-

The gunshots sounded, and the masked bandits fell to the ground. Accompanied by the black man, two Arabs with guns ran in from the door and saved the protagonist's family.

The male protagonist trembled and pulled down the masks of bandits one by one. The one who showed him the white neighbors who seemed to have a good relationship with them on weekdays.

The camera swept through these vicious white men's faces first, then turned to the black man and the two Arab actors.

These three people were instantly upright.

After all, there is harm only when there is comparison. James Huang's lens language is clear and clear, and it is not mysterious.

"Card!" James Huang shouted to stop shooting and said loudly: "This one has passed!"

Then he raised his voice: "I announce that the shooting stage of the Human Purge Plan... is completed!"

Ronan stood not far behind James Huang, just watching the crew cheer and said nothing.

Most of the crew members were very happy that not only did the high-intensity work end, but also mean that part of the salary would be paid in place soon.

There are two main types of compensation payment models in Hollywood. One is to pay weekly, that is, weekly salary; the other is to pay in two to three times.

Ronan adopted the latter type.

At this moment, he did not show his presence and was thinking about the next step of post-production.

Compared with shooting, he will participate in the post-production in depth throughout the entire process.

Post-production can turn ordinary and even vulgar shots shot by directors into magic.

After the filming ended, others were still busy celebrating. After all, for many people, this is very likely to be the first theater movie in their lives.

But Mrs. Seyfried had pulled Amanda Seyfried out of the crowd.

She took out a special tissue, carefully wiped off the bloodstains of makeup on her daughter's face, and lowered her voice and said, "Amanda, have you forgotten what I said? What are you doing with those people if you are delaying your time?"

Amanda scratched her head and said, "I get it, mom."

Mrs. Seyfried stuffed her a tote bag: "Go quickly!" and reminded her: "Don't forget to ask for his personal contact information."

Since it is determined to develop towards an actor, it is important for any producer.

Amanda responded and walked towards a quiet corner with her handbag.

When Ronan was about to leave the set, he found Amanda Seyfried coming over and carrying a tote bag as usual.

"Amanda, do you have another cake?" he asked with a smile.

A cute girl who often gives snacks can easily leave a good impression on people.

"Well, I'll give it to you." Amanda handed it to Ronan and said deliberately: "This time it's different. Except for baking, I have completed the other processes myself."

Ronan opened the tote bag and took out one. The cake looked average, looking like a novice work. He nodded and said, "A very special gift."

Amanda held her hands behind her back, shook her body slightly, and said, "Try it?"

Ronan took a bite and raised his thumb: "Not bad, it tastes better than the previous few times."

Amanda smiled with satisfaction: "I don't think you like sweet food very much, so I deliberately put less sugar this time."

"Can you tell me this?" Ronan knew that the girl was very thoughtful and deliberately praised from the side: "It's a pity that after the filming, it will be difficult to eat such a small cake that suits her appetite in the future."

Amanda stretched out his hand: "Give me your contact information, and I will give it to you after I'm ready."

Ronan laughed again, took out a private business card and placed it on Amanda's little hand. Amanda put it away, waved at him, turned around and walked away.
Chapter completed!
