Chapter: 393
With the information she had garnered, coupled with a clear goal and strong motivation, it took her just a day to make a project plan which she subsequently submitted to the company.
The Anderson Group had a special department whose task was to unearth new scripts and invest in directors with great potential.
The films the Anderson Group had invested in over the past two years had all won critical acclaim and performed well at the box Office. ©
The Anderson Group would never pass on the opportunity of investing in a good script.
Besides, the fact that Jasper fully intended to purchase the script, meant that the professional team behind him also thought highly of The Missing Body.
So, Ariana was confident that she could pass the company’s screening process.
Two days later, Ariana received a message early in the morning, informing her that her project plan didn’t pass the preliminary examination.
Just like that, her hopes were shattered. She didn’t know what went wrong.
Confused, she quickly packed up and went back to Eleymond.
That afternoon, she met Norton Rogers, the director of the investment department.
Norton was a fat, middle-aged man who permanently wore a beaming smile and looked sly and hypocritical at the same time.
As soon as Norton saw her, he pulled the project plan from the bottom of a pile of documents and put it on his desk, tapping it gently.
“Your script lacks marketability and is pretty mundane. The mystery genre isn’t as popular as romance or superheroes right now. We would lose money if we invested in such a project. Don’t waste your time on such a script in the future.”
Ariana thought what Norton said was bullshit. Two months ago, the Anderson Group had invested in a movie with an unpopular theme, which went on to do quite fairly at the box office.
Norton was definitely lying. She suspected that he deliberately rejected her project.
“In that case, what kind of script are you looking for, Mr. Rogers?” Ariana asked directly.
Norton crossed his legs leisurely and looked Ariana up and down. After a short while, he said, “There’s still a way for this script to pass the screening process.”
A faint smile appeared on Ariana’s face. As she had expected, he did it on purpose.
“What way, please tell me.”
Norton smiled and said bluntly, “It’s quite simple. Rewrite the script. In its current state, it can’t be used. Here, the heroine only appears in memory. That is not enough. People want to see something real and romantic. If we follow the logic of your script, we will lose a good part of our potential viewership.”
“Are you serious, Mr. Rogers? But it’s a suspense movie, not about romance.” Ariana almost burst into laughter. What he meant was that she had to add more love scenes.
“No one would be against love scenes in a movie. What type of agent are you? You don’t even know how to make a good investment.” Norton paused for a while and looked at Ariana in disgust. “It doesn’t matter if you hate love scenes. What we want is something more in touch with the public. We want to see rape, accidents, loss of memory, misunderstandings, abortion...”
