Chapter 815 Full Control
Donald realized then why Ronson did not have a job even when thetter had such a good script.
The first condition limited the investment cycle of the filmpany.
As long as thepany 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 thepany''s right to choose the actors and actresses.
Other than aiming for high ratings and making money at the box office, most filmpanies'' main
objective was to promote rookies.
As long as they could sessfully promote one or two rookies, they could be thepanies''
money cow and earn thepany money in all aspects.
Unfortunately, Ronson wanted to pick the actors and actresses himself. That meant it was
impossible for thepany 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 ept 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 otherpany 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 thepany film this. What I''m saying is that the
company cane to us if there''s any movie in mind. From there, I''ll get 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 coborate 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, ncing 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 ept the terms I
mentioned earlier?”
Donald responded tly, “Yes, I ept 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 filmpanies 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,e 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.”
