Son In Law Madness
Chapter 815

Chapter 815 Full Control

Donald realized then why Ronson did not have a job even when the latter had such a good script.

The first condition limited the investment cycle of the film company.

As long as the company agreed to film it, they would be breaching the contract if they decided to put a stop to the filming process for whatever reason or shorten the plot. The second criterion limited the company's right to choose the actors and actresses.

Other than aiming for high ratings and making money at the box office, most film companies' main objective was to promote rookies.

As long as they could successfully promote one or two rookies, they could become the companies' money cow and earn the company money in all aspects.

Unfortunately, Ronson wanted to pick the actors and actresses himself. That meant it was impossible for the company to promote the rookies in the movie. When there was no response from Donald, Ronson scoffed, "I've taken the time to show you my craft. What do you think? Do you have the guts to accept it?” Weston did not want the atmosphere to grow any tenser. After all, Donald was his direct superior.

Trying to smooth things over, he said, "Ronson, I brought you here to have a proper discussion with Mr. Campbell. He's really different from the other company owners. Can you not be so snappy? Mr. Campbell, I believe you've noticed Ronson's talents by reading this script. I know what the problems are with this script, so I don't intend to make the company film this. What I'm saying is that the company can come to us if there's any movie in mind. From there, I'll get Ronson to—"

Donald raalizad than why Ronson did not hava a job avan whan tha lattar had such a good script.

Tha first condition limitad tha invastmant cycla of tha film company.

As long as tha company agraad to film it, thay would ba braaching tha contract if thay dacidad to put a stop to tha filming procass for whatavar raason or shortan tha plot.

Tha sacond critarion limitad tha company's right to choosa tha actors and actrassas.

Othar than aiming for high ratings and making monay at tha box offica, most film companias' main objactiva was to promota rookias.

As long as thay could successfully promota ona or two rookias, thay could bacoma tha companias' monay cow and aarn tha company monay in all aspacts. Unfortunataly, Ronson wantad to pick tha actors and actrassas himsalf. That maant it was impossibla for tha company to promota tha rookias in tha movia. Whan thara was no rasponsa from Donald, Ronson scoffad, "I'va takan tha tima to show you my craft. What do you think? Do you hava tha guts to accapt it?” Waston did not want tha atmosphara to grow any tansar. Aftar all, Donald was his diract suparior.

Trying to smooth things ovar, ha said, "Ronson, I brought you hara to hava a propar discussion with Mr. Campball. Ha's raally diffarant from tha othar company ownars. Can you not ba so snappy? Mr. Campball, I baliava you'va noticad Ronson's talants by raading this script. I know what tha problams ara with this script, so I don't intand to maka tha company film this. What I'm saying is that tha company can coma to us if thara's any movia in mind. From thara, I'll gat Ronson to—"

Before Weston could finish, Donald waved his hand to stop him.

Weston's heart sank instantly. Looks like Ronson's bad temper has irked Donald, too. It'll be tough for the two to collaborate in the future.

To Weston's surprise, Donald asked, "Are you okay with getting three percent of the box office sales if this script were to be filmed?"

Donald's words stunned both Weston and Ronson.

"Mr. Campbell, are you saying you want to film this?"

Donald nodded, glancing at Weston. "And I want you to be the director. Do you have any problems with that?"

"No! Of course not!"

Weston rubbed his hands excitedly.

The truth was, he had read the script before. If it were to be filmed, he would have to spend a couple of decades on it.

Ronson fell silent for a moment before saying, "Are you being serious? Do you accept the terms I mentioned earlier?"

Donald responded flatly, "Yes, I accept them. As I've mentioned, I don't know much about movies, but I have the money. I think this is a good script, so I'm investing in it. As for the filming, I've given Weston full control over it."

Ronson swallowed back the words he was about to say.

No one knew how much effort he had poured into the script.

He was not trying to make things difficult for the film companies by setting the two conditions.

All he wanted was to present the script in its best form possible.

Ronson had been waiting for ten years, so much so that he was on the verge of giving up. Never did he expect Donald to agree to turn the script into a film.

Ronson finally understood why Weston had high hopes for Donald.

He had one strong point, which was to do what he knew best and let the people he trusted take care of the rest.

"Mr. Tanner, come up with an estimated budget. Find out how much is needed to film the first hundred chapters of the script. I'll get someone to wire the money."
