Stars start from saving facial paralysis

Chapter 487
Three days later, it was still a meeting room.

Several directors thought about it carefully, and finally chose the movie they wanted to make.

Fleming still chose a feature film, which Chen Fan just exchanged three days ago.

"Manchester by the Sea", a low-budget feature film.

After MGM's review, the film's investment cost was around 5000 million yuan.

At first, Chen Fan thought that this movie was about the story of Europa Manchester.

But after he read the script, he realized that this story took place on the east coast of Eagle Country.

There is also a city there called Manchester.

Although it tells the story of a somewhat tragic protagonist in Eagle Country, Chen Fan still put this film out.

He thinks this film is really excellent and very romantic, just like his name.

This kind of film, which is somewhat biased towards literary style, has always been Fleming's favorite.

When he read the script, he immediately decided to make this movie, even though its investment was not large.

King Vidor chose "Godzilla" because he was quite interested in this monster.

And how to present this terrifying monster is what he has always wanted to try.

The cost accounting of this film company is more than [-] million yuan.

Chen Fan made a big move and directly increased the investment cost to one billion.

Thus, the first billion-dollar monster movie in film history was born.

When Chen Fan announced the decision on the spot, all the directors and actors immediately settled down.

Chairman, Jinkou Yuyan, this is what everyone believes in when they make decisions.

And since Chen Fan can develop his own companies so well, he is not the kind of company boss who speaks irresponsibly.

Being able to spend more than [-] million eagle dollars to make a movie shows that Chen Fan has enough financial strength.

In the past few days, some interested MGM entertainers have already checked Chen Fan's information to the bottom.

I also learned about Sheng Tang and Tang and the film and television dramas they produced.

I also know that Chen Fan's industries also cover theaters, figure factories, game companies, novel websites and other industries.

Although they feel that the latter industries should not bring any benefits.

But it also shows that this Chen Fan is not just a person with empty appearances, but a powerful entrepreneur.

The next few movies strengthened their minds even more.

Kubrick decided to direct The Conjuring, intrigued by some of the horror elements in the script.

He felt that this film should have a lot of content to explore, and it has surpassed ordinary horror films.

When he got the script, he was directly immersed in the world of evocation, and couldn't put it down.

The company calculates that its cost is almost 1.2 million.

Fellini ultimately chose Alien.

This film is both horror and sci-fi, and it has a lot of depth to dig.

The most important thing is that the scale of the scene is not huge, and it is quite manageable for a young director.

But Chen Fan knew that "Alien" would be such a wonderful series of sci-fi horror films, and there would be wonderful stories about the origin of the so-called human race in the future.

In his recovered memory, Chen Fan knew that the investment cost of this movie was only 1000 million Eagles.

But that was the price 30 years ago.

In order to make this movie well, Chen Fan raised his investment to [-] million yuan, which is almost [-] million yuan.

There are more than a dozen movies in the "Alien" universe, and Chen Fan hopes that the first one will be exciting enough.

In fact, Chen Fan's decision really shocked the people in the meeting room.

Fellini himself is still a little foggy.

Almost all of the films he directed were low-budget sci-fi within tens of millions of dollars.

In other words, he has yet to prove himself on a major production.

As for Chen Fan's 5000 million Eagle Dollars, they were just thrown away.

Does he trust himself that much?
At this time, Fellini really had the feeling that a man would die for his confidant.

Everyone on the sidelines admired Chen Fan even more.

These people know more about Fellini's experience than Chen Fan.

There are three reasons why Chen Fan dared to spend the money.

He's a idiot.

Look out for Fellini.

Too much money and no place to spend it.

But no matter what the situation is, it reflects Chen Fan's "money ability".

As for people in the film and television industry, who doesn't like a boss who has the ability to make money?
Scorsese, the youngest, finally chose the comedy "The Detective".

He has self-knowledge.

Among the scripts Chen Fan took out, there were no movies in the style that he was good at before.

The only "Manchester by the Sea" that was relatively close was also taken away by Fleming.

My own status and Fleming's are simply worlds apart.

It is impossible for Scorsese to compete with Fleming for the script, so he can only choose among the remaining scripts.

After much selection, he chose "The Detective in White".

As a young director and the least well-known director at MGM, Scorsese knew very well that he had to prove his ability to his boss.

So the choice of the first film is very important.

He just skipped those big-budget movies.

Scorsese is self-aware. If he chooses a big production at this time, Chen Fan may let him shoot, but he doesn't have the confidence to shoot him well.

If he messes up at that time, his future in MGM will be completely lost.

The production cost of "Detective in White" is only 500 million yuan, which is the director with the lowest investment cost among the five. If the box office is really not good, there will be no losses, and I still have a chance.

At the same time, this "Detective in White" is a comedy film, and I have dabbled in it before, so it won't be too difficult.

Comedy has always been the mainstream type of film in Europe and even the world. As long as it is well shot, it will not worry about box office.

And this movie is one of the few things in all the scripts that takes place in Europa.

The script is full of Europa-style elements, such as very interesting plots such as playing the queen.

These are things that a "local" can handle.

The last and most important point is that he thinks the script is really good.

If I can film this script with my own small skills, then there will be more opportunities for Chen Fan to make mistakes in the future.

The arrangements for the five movies have been made, Chen Fan is sure.

It can be seen from today's meeting that these directors no longer exclude themselves.

As long as they take over the filming job, they will be tied to MGM for a period of time in the future.

As for the future, Chen Fan is not worried at all.

A "spoil sharing conference" left all the actors dumbfounded.

My new boss, does things so casually?
Just set five scripts so simply?

No need to discuss analysis?

You must know that in the past, even a powerful film and television company like MGM, when making a movie, the prior review work was done extremely meticulously.

Without discussion at ten or eight meetings, it would be impossible to make a decision.

To put it mildly, I want to be responsible for the film, but to put it bluntly, I don’t want to lose money.

But what about Chen Fan?
These people think that if these five movies all lose money, Chen Fan won't frown, right?

At this time, Chen Fan turned his attention to Jia Bao and other actors.

Each of the twelve people was present.

"Okay, since the teachers are here, let me make a long story short."

"The teachers of these films are giving priority to auditions. You can consult with the directors."

"But if you don't have a character you like, don't worry, I will ask the company to continue to expand the crew in the next year, and quickly set up ten crews."

"When the time comes, there will be more videos for teachers to choose from!"

Only then did the actors relax.

Hepburn next to Garbo blinked her eyes, just looking at Chen Fan.

This young man is a little handsome.

The five scripts just now, just listening to the names, are not the style I like.

But at this time she will not raise any objections.

The little boss in front of me is young and full of passion. From the simple decision of the script, it can be seen that he is still very courageous.

She wanted to see where Chen Fan would lead MGM.

As for myself, I have never worried about not having a movie to shoot.
