Chapter 90 Where is the red sofa?

This time, the post-production editing room that Ronan rented is still located in Warner Studios, and it was the last time Jessica Felton made it into a garbage dump. Since the crew of the two projects "The God of Death" and "Ace Agents" are also located in Warner Studios, this is conducive to his overall work.

Three projects are operated at the same time, even though Ronan is just coordinating the overall situation, he is still very busy.

"Miss Heiger, let's get here."

In the audition room of the office, Ronan called to stop the audition and said to Catherine Heiger: "We will notify you of the audition results at the latest tomorrow."

Katherine Heiger glanced at Ronan, saw that Ronan had no other words, and said with a smile: "Okay."

When she left the audition room, director James Huang told Ronan: "This looks good, and the audition effect is the best among all the actresses at present."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I think so too."

Tony Koch, who was watching the audition, just looked through the actor's information carefully, without any intention of interrupting.

He is a smart man and knows that he has no say in this matter.

Ronan reached an agreement with James Huang, and without hesitation, he said directly: "I will let Andrew contact Catherine Heiger's agent in the afternoon. As long as the pay is right, she is our first choice."

"Okay." James Huang knew that Ronan was the one who made the final decision and asked, "Where is the hero?"

The previous male lead audition has not been determined.

Ronan looked through the records in his hand and said, "Just choose Devin Sawa. If the salary is not appropriate, then consider other things."

The audition for the main actors of "The God of Death is Coming" has been basically completed, and most of the roles have the first candidate. Considering factors such as pay and benefits, Ronan and James Huang discussed for a while and then finalized the backup candidate.

To be honest, as long as this kind of film has a good appearance and basic acting skills, the performance level is high or low, and the impact is actually not big.

"James, it's better to change a role for black actors." Ronan looked at an audition record and said, "Out of the people who were killed by death, and change the identity of the coroner to a black person... Well, the Tony Todd you recommended who has played "X Files" is good."

After hearing these words, James Huang understood Ronan's potential meaning. After all, he has worked in Hollywood for many years and has a certain understanding of the situation of black people.

James Huang Ying said: "Okay, I will call Tony Todd."

Ronan didn't say anything more. The crew was running smoothly overall. He asked Tony to leave the audition room together and went to Andrew to explain the negotiations with the actors.

This time, it is similar to "Human Purge Plan". Negotiations do not require consideration of acting skills, and pay is the first factor.

Even if Katherine Heiger, who had specially found him, had a pay exceeding the bottom line of the crew, Ronan would give up without hesitation.

The crew's public production budget is only 15 million US dollars, and it is of course the best if they can complete the shooting and production with 15 million US dollars.

Ronan decided early on to lower the salary of personnel to less than 30% or even 25% of the public budget.

Back at Ronan's office, Tony took a glass of water, took a few sips and said, "The audition is completely different from what I thought."

Ronan looked through the financial statements of "The Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent" and asked: "What would the audition you imagined would be like?"

"Where is the red sofa?" Tony asked curiously: "Don't take off all your clothes when looking at the actress' figure? How can you find out that there is real material if you don't take off your clothes? Didn't you say there is a deal?"

Ronan didn't raise his head: "The red sofa? It's all from many years ago. The transactions were not made in public. Isn't that asking for trouble?"

Harvey Weinstein, the worst-known in the industry, would not make a fool of himself in the audition room, and would make an appointment to a hotel or apartment.

Tony lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Ronan, that...ah, will you choose an actor based on that kind of deal?"

"Haha..." Luo Nan smiled, not shy away: "I am also a normal man. If a beautiful woman comes to him on his own initiative, of course she will not refuse. But this circle emphasizes that there will be rewards when you give. If you get benefits from actresses, you must give corresponding rewards, otherwise there will definitely be trouble in the future."

Think about Harvey Weinstein. There are countless producers in the circle who have made such a deal, and the one who is really in trouble is this Jewish fat man.

Perhaps, there is indeed a big shot behind the scenes who is messing with him, but it is undeniable that Harvey Weinstein's food seems so ugly in terms of hard work and rewards.

Think about the future "me. too", some things cannot be done randomly.

Tony shook his head: "You are too conservative."

Ronan also shook his head: "Just say the project "The God of Death is Coming". A serious mistake in the selection of actors may lead to the failure of the film. Which actress do you think is worth $15 million?"

"I understand." Tony nodded slowly: "Even if the whole body is made of diamonds, it's not worth $15 million a night."

Luo Nan was speechless for a moment. What a diamond? That really needs a diamond...

Tony looked curious: "What should I do if I like a beautiful actress?"

"Go to chase her? You will always chase a woman?" Ronan gave a standard answer: "A young, handsome and rich young man like you is the dating object that many female celebrities like."

"Formal date?" Tony was a little skeptical.

Ronan shrugged: "If you like it, you will be together, if you don't feel it, you will break up. Hollywood-style love, don't think too much."

Not to mention Hollywood, isn’t breaking and reunion the norm in society?

Perhaps some parts of central America are conservative, but the theme of metropolitan cities is always open.

Not to mention the West, even on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the past few years, men and women in big cities will become the norm.

In his previous life, Ronan had four or five formal girlfriends who broke up and got back together. In addition to his first love, he basically felt that he came and went quickly.

As for marriage, I have never considered it.

This is also affected by some situations around you in your previous life.

There is a real case of a colleague, which was called Ronan at that time frightened.

The colleague's wife came from a relatively poor place. There were five siblings in the family...well, four sisters and one younger brother.

When we got married, it was necessity to say that the man was the standard configuration. Then the woman asked for "all kinds of red and green" as a dowry, and the 200,000 dowry did not come back with the woman...

If that's all, it's fine, after all, it's the kind of raising a child.

As a result, it was a problem after marriage. My colleague worked in a big city quite well. The woman’s younger brother would not let this colleague go to school, living expenses, finding a job, buying a car and a house, etc. go away.

When my younger brother got married, he directly asked his colleagues to pay 300,000 yuan.

This colleague's family was basically in a state of war after marriage, and it inevitably ended with divorce...

A week later, Tony left Los Angeles and returned to Germany. Koch Films still had a lot of things to do. In addition to Helen Coren's interpersonal relationship, it was not easy to gather a large amount of funds even if it was tempting to get tax exemptions.

Before leaving, Ronan talked with him for an afternoon. If everything goes well, Shahai Entertainment's next project will require more than 50 million US dollars.

After sending Tony Koch away, Ronan fell into a busy work, and anyone in the entrepreneurial stage must be extremely busy.

It is OK to delegate power appropriately, but you cannot stay outside of work. The temptation of money and power is too huge. There are too many company bosses in the world who are quietly overshadowed by management.

Shahai Entertainment has been running smoothly, Embassy Film Industry is busy producing promotional and promotion plans, and the theory of relativity belongs to the empty shell of the holding company. The three companies have not had much trouble for the time being.

In terms of crew, after "The Death is Coming", "Ace Agent" has also finalized the main cast, and the preparations for both crews are progressing steadily.
