Chapter 666 You Are Very Courageous

Equal pay for equal work is undoubtedly the goal that many people are striving for. Not only in the Hollywood circle, but also in the whole society, there are such calls, such as the four major slams in professional tennis.

However, the system of three wins in five games and two wins in three games seems to be a co-worker.

Meryl Streep was deeply touched and said, "The movies I participated in are actually very obvious. Many male protagonists are far less famous than me, but looking at their pay and then my own, sometimes they are really desperate. The pay for male stars of the same level as me is basically more than twice that of mine."

Others may not know, but Jessica Felton knew that compared to his huge fame, Meryl Streep's pay was not high at all. He could only be $5 million in a commercial film, and art films were even lower.

But is this really just a matter of equal pay?

Jessica Felton knows that the reasons behind them are very complicated.

Alisa Blano said: "Equal pay for equal work should be our most reasonable requirement at this stage."

Jessica Felton kindly reminded: "To achieve this goal, we must strengthen our abilities, otherwise we can only become jokes."

Patty Jekins agrees with her: "This is an industry that survives the fittest."

Lindsay Bill also said: "It is impossible for a new screenwriter to ask for high commissions and post-production sharing, which is not fair to us."

Diapolo Coty's eyes floated over Lindsey Bill's delicate face and fell on Jessica Felton.

As a newcomer's first party, Diapolo Coty has never focused on the topic of women's rights since she saw Jessica Felton.

No one here is newcomer in the industry. The shortest experienced practitioners like Lindsay Bill and Jessica Felton who have more than five years of Hollywood experience.

Everyone, including Alyssa Brano and Meryl Streep, agreed with Jessica Felton.

This is the simplest truth. If you don’t have the ability and ask for a high salary, wouldn’t it be a daydream?

Equal pay for equal work is simple, but there are too many aspects involved.

The party lasted for an hour, and in the end, there was no discussion of much practical things. Deborah Messing, as the initiator, hoped that every member could bring more famous people into the party before the party ended.

Only with more people can the strength be strong enough.

Lindsay Bill and Jessica Felton left first, and Diapolo Coty glanced at the backs of the two and offered to say goodbye at the right time.

After leaving the club, Lindsay Bill asked: "It is simple to say but difficult to do."

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "It's better to do it than not, but I think it's the basis to fight for rights and strengthen ourselves."

Both of them make a living by their strength and are not stars in front of the screen. There is actually a big difference between the ideas and original intentions of Alisa Brano and Meryl Streep.

They do not need to use the feminist halo to attract others' attention, nor do they need empty slogans to show their positions, because their strength brings them corresponding status and benefits.

The two were about to get into the car, and Diapolo Coty, wearing a floral dress, chased after him: "Miss Felton."

Jessica Felton stood by the car door and smiled and nodded: "Hello, Ms. Cody."

Diapolo Coty greeted Lindsay Bill on the side of the co-pilot again and said, "Miss Felton, can you talk a few words alone?"

"Is there something wrong?" Jessica Felton asked.

Diapolo Coty knew that the opportunity was rare, especially when she encountered such an opportunity as a female producer, she hurriedly said: "A little thing about the movie."

Lindsey Bill saw the appearance of Diapolo Coty, who was also a screenwriter, and could roughly guess what she wanted to do. He secretly helped him, opened the door of the passenger car, and said, "Jesse, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine when I go back, I'll wait for you here for a while."

Jessica Felton nodded gently: "Let's go back and find a quiet place to chat."

The two returned to the club and asked for a quiet small lounge.

Influenced by Ronan, Jessica Felton encountered a similar situation and was very patient: "Ms. Cody, please say whatever you have."

Diapolo Coty first smiled, and then said seriously: "Miss Felton, it is my luck to meet you. I never thought I would see you tonight."

Jessica Felton nodded: "You're welcome."

Diapolo Coty quickly got to the point: "I am a screenwriter. Strictly speaking, I am a screenwriter who has only participated in a few movies, and an amateur writer. I wrote a script with a completely female subject. With the help of Ms. Deborah Messin, I have also found many producers."

Jessica Felton did not interrupt, but listened with a peaceful attitude.

This also gave Diapolo Coty encouragement: "But the script I wrote is not the musicals, sad tear-jerking dramas and romantic comedies you mentioned at the party. They have all been rejected in recent months, and even female producers like Catherine Kennedy have rejected me."

Jessica Felton had a little bad premonition. Katherine Kennedy is one of the best female producers in Hollywood, with excellent abilities and vision.

If you have to look for shortcomings, because of age, Katherine Kennedy is a typical conservative.

"What subject are you writing about?" Jessica Felton asked the key point.

Diapolo Cotillo smiled helplessly: "About the teenage girl's pregnancy."

Jessica Felton's brows immediately frowned. It was definitely not a good topic for a girl to get pregnant, and its sensitivity was even greater than the script written by Lindsay.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Felton here today." Diapolo Coty said again: "So, the script is not brought. Can you listen to me briefly?"

Jessica Felton made no judgment and nodded slightly: "Tell me."

Diapolo Coti immediately quickly spoke the main content of the script in concise language.

An American female middle school student secretly tasted the forbidden fruit with her boyfriend because of curiosity and impulse, but became pregnant unexpectedly. The girl had to face the consequences of this impulse and ignorance, and finally decided to give birth to the child and then find a family who wanted to adopt the child to send the child out for adoption.

Jessica Felton told the truth: "A very interesting story." Before Diapolo Coty was happy, she said: "But the subject matter is very sensitive."

Diapolo Coti made a fuss about the short brown hair on his head and said, "I think, is that okay? This subject is actually very common. Now the age of the first time a girl experiences is constantly decreasing..."

Jessica Felton subconsciously wanted to refuse, but think about it carefully, in the social context where women are constantly aging at the beginning of the first night, there might be a market?

Not to mention anything else, at least the subject and main storyline of Diapolo Coti made her feel interesting.

Diapolo Coti said very seriously: "I chose the theme of a girl who was pregnant before marriage, but I did not use the usual routine of redemption and introspection, but chose to use a couple who came to adopt the child and the heroine, the overnight mature girl, as the main object of contradiction in the film. Through the comparison between the two, the theme is positioned in the sense of growth."

During this period, she knew the difficulties of non-mass female subjects, so she met Deborah Messing's invitation and joined the party without hesitation. It was also a way to seek psychological comfort in this way.

Why can a man make a fucking movie easily be launched in Hollywood, and it is often sold at the box office in theaters?

But women have to face various difficulties before marriage, not to mention that they are even so difficult to show in the movie?

"When I create, I try to express the unexpected pregnancy of a girl in a not-so-heavy way possible," Diapolo Coti said in a calm tone: "The soothing and calm attitude used in the plot will definitely bring a gentle and intimate feeling."

She did not hesitate to use her example: "The public's sensitivity to some things may not be what we imagined. I have a deep understanding of this. When I was 23 years old, I ran away from home and moved to Memphis with my boyfriend I met on the Internet. I gave up my beloved civilian writing and became a stripper instead."

Jessica Felton was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the female screenwriter in front of him had done such a job.

Diapolo Coty said frankly: "I, a person who has never ridden a motorcycle, has been pregnant and has poured alcohol into other people's faces, was shocked by myself at that time, but this adventure brought endless excitement, and I gradually became addicted, and it liberated me. The past work made me feel that my life was underestimated, and gradually I realized that I would rather do something unreasonable than spend the rest of my life like this."

"You have the courage." Jessica Felton didn't say much, took out his business card and handed it to Diapolo Coty: "This is my contact information. After you have prepared the script, you can come to the Relativity Entertainment Building to find me."

Diapolo Coty quickly took it over and put it in: "Thank you." She asked tentatively: "Don't you have time tomorrow morning Miss Felton?"

Jessica Felton thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, you will come to the seventh floor of the Relativity Building, and I will wait for you in the office."

"Okay." Diapolo Coty quickly said, "I will definitely arrive on time."

The next morning, Diapolo Cotty brought the script to the Relativity Building and met Jessica Felton in the office on the seventh floor. After Jessica Felton read the script, she decided to buy the copyright of the script.

She has such power in Sandhai Entertainment.
