Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw
Chapter 74
San Pedro City Tourism Bureau, Tourism Director Ronand, quickly received news from his subordinates.
A woman who claims to be Hollywood's hottest director and assistant Steve Kevin will come to San Pedro in a day to discuss the shooting of his new movie.
In the office, Ronand said to himself:
"What are you looking for me to do when making a movie?" Our tourism office doesn't care about road closures, can we..."
Ronand looked up and instructed a staff member, "
You find me all the news about Steve Kevin's upcoming movie."
Ronand has already guessed Kevin's purpose, and now looks for information to support his idea.
After a while, the staff handed over some newspapers about Steve Kevin's recent news.
Ronand checked them out one by one.
Only after a moment did he nod.
Fantasy pirate films, and still a masterpiece with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, there is no doubt that what Steve Kevin needs is a seaside scene, which is very good near the port of San Pedro in the city of San Pedro.
The purpose of contacting them at the tourism bureau is mostly to get them to pay for the construction of some movie scenes.
This kind of thing also has precedents in Hollywood, where a good movie sells and can bring huge traffic to their city of San Pedro, that is, countless tourists.
Of course, if the film fails, the part of the money they invested will naturally be lost.
However, with Steve Kevin's current reputation, those coastal cities are willing to gamble too much, a successful director who has sold three movies in a row, unless his brain is broken, otherwise, no one will refuse his proposal.
After all, the success rate of the fourth film is also very high.
Now that he has this understanding, what Ronand naturally thinks about is to negotiate with Kevin specifically, discuss the specific investment amount, and Kevin's specific needs.
....
The next day, after getting a response from the tourist office of San Pedro, Kevin took his secretary Ellie to the tourism office of San Pedro.
The staff of the tourist office, after hearing their intentions, very politely led them to the reception room.
Kevin sat on the sofa very calmly waiting for the steward to arrive.
Ellie sat next to him with a dignified face, wearing a feminine black suit on her upper body, a short black skirt on her lower body, and a pair of black stockings, placing her slender legs in front of Kevin.
It seems particularly tempting.
For a while, Kevin was a little ape-like.
Elle naturally noticed his boss's gaze, but she was not angry, but a little proud, her legs were slightly open, seducing Kevin's gaze to look inward...
Lean, safety pants!
Kevin secretly scolded, whether people can still be good between people.
Only then did he put away his gaze in disappointment and look straight ahead.
Elle smiled secretly, she wouldn't just let Kevin take advantage, what was too easy to get would not be cherished.
...
"Crunch!"
There was a sound of pushing the door, and a middle-aged man wearing standard white overalls who looked to weigh more than two hundred pounds walked in.
With a seemingly sincere smile on his face, he smiled and said
, "Drink something, coffee or milk?"
"Thanks, no thanks."
Kevin said with a serious face.
"I'm here to do things, not for coffee."
"You're the person in charge here, right?"
Ronand also does not sell the pass, this is a mutually beneficial thing, naturally there is nothing undesirable.
"Yes, I am the head of the tourist office, Ronand, hello, director Kevin."
"Hello, Director Ronande."
After a brief understanding of each other, Ronand sat down opposite Kevin and said straight to the point:
"Your intentions, I probably know, I just don't know, what kind of budget you want to apply for, what kind of shooting scene you want to build."
"Only after your plans are finalized will I find someone on my side to approve and decide whether to sponsor your crew."
Ronand said calmly.
Kevin gestured for Ellie to take out the plan made by rushing overnight yesterday from her bag and handed it to Ronand, which also included the time when this scene would appear in the movie, to show that this was definitely not an insignificant scene.
Ronand looked closely.
In the plan handed over by Kevin, it contains the size of the Pirates of the Caribbean town, how many buildings, what buildings, etc., and also writes in the plan how he will photograph this town to the audience.
At the same time, the final plan was made, and the approximate cost price was between five million and fifteen million dollars.
Ronand looked up and asked with doubt
, "Five million dollars to fifteen million dollars?"
"How could there be such a huge price difference."
Kevin explained:
"Five million refers to building a model Pirates of the Caribbean town, where visitors can only view from the outside at most, and most of the buildings do not have the function of actual use."
"And fifteen million, this is a real town, with the appearance of a building from the pirate era, but also with modern functions."
"The inhabitants of this area can choose to emulate the role of Pirates of the Caribbean for tourists."
"This will be the only antique town in the United States, full of characteristics, which will surely attract countless tourists..."
Ronand's eyes lit up as he listened, and it was simply good to invest fifteen million in exchange for a tourist mecca.
Seeing that Ronand took the bait, Kevin continued:
"Of course, as a licensing fee, Sunrise Film Company will receive 8% of the annual profit after the official operation of the entire town."
8% of the profit is definitely not a small amount.
Excluding operating costs, the net income of a tourist town is calculated between four and six percent, of which part of the tax is paid, and finally less than three percent falls into hands.
Kevin's side, on the other hand, wants 8 percent of these four to six percent of the profit, which is definitely not small.
If it weren't for Kevin's current fame being big enough and never losing money, he would have been kicked out long ago because he dared to mention this condition.
