Reborn American Tycoon
Page 13
For a newcomer to set foot in this field, it would be great to have a production fee of US$200 million. These are all talented people, so don't worry about ordinary directors.Let's start with some commercials and documentaries. It may take many years to get a chance.
William White doesn't need to wait. His software company has more than 200 million yuan in his account, and the next batch of money is about to come again. He doesn't care about the two or three million yuan.
Making movies has always been the dream of my young master. For this matter, William White quarreled with his father many times. In the end, he studied two majors at the same time at USC, which was also the result of a compromise between father and son.
The young master is now saying that he wants to make a movie, but it is a low-cost movie, and Forbe will not stop him. At most, he will lose a few million. A month ago, he might feel heartbroken, but now he doesn't care too much.
The speed at which White's software makes money is like printing beautiful knives, but Forber knows very well that the cost of software is really very limited.
According to this state and then sell for a period of time, those taxes will be no problem, and there may be a lot of surplus.
Besides, the young master's movie may not lose money, even if it loses a little money, it's no big deal, and it will get back part of it.
Movies can be shot in Hollywood, but the company cannot be registered in Hollywood. There are several tax-free states in the United States. Of course, it is better to hide.
But he doesn't need to take care of these things, the lawyer will help him handle everything, and in this way, everything is ready to test the waters of Hollywood.
There are so many such companies in Hollywood that no one pays attention to them. Every day such companies are established and every day such companies close down.
"Jason, I plan to go to Los Angeles in two days."
"Boss, you are planning to go back to school."
"No, I'm going to take a break from school, and this time I'm going to Los Angeles to make a movie."
"Boss, are you really fake? Do you still lack a male pig's foot? I am quite suitable. At most, I will not receive a salary."
"Most extras, like to do it or not, two lines."
"Do it, why not, this is my dream."
"You are from the director department. Is it interesting to be an actor? I really admire you."
"No one wants a little director, I will make commercials first in the future."
"Whatever you want, I'll contact you when you arrive."
"Okay, come back quickly!"
"Um"
Jason Gao in his previous life later started an advertising company. It seems that no one asked him to make a movie.
It is difficult for Chinese directors to mix in the United States. Unless you grew up in the United States, you really don’t understand what their cool points are. Although Lao Mei’s jokes are relatively low, there are too many sources of these memes. You are not in the local area. Growing up, I don't know, so it's normal.
This is the case with talk shows and sitcoms. Lao Mei is very happy to watch, but the crooked nuts don’t know why, just watching a group of fools go crazy.
The mansion in Beverly was only rented, and now William doesn't have any spare dollars, so careful budgeting is still very important.
The sky here is always so blue, which makes people feel very good. It doesn’t matter how good the air is, there is also smog here. It rarely rains in Los Angeles, and the sky is clear almost every day.
The weather is fine today. This is a standard nonsense in Los Angeles. If you greet someone like this, you will definitely be despised.
Film companies gather here, and the weather is also the main reason. What kind of Hollywood are you going to do in London.It is estimated that I can only rest for half a year.The things that are photographed are generally gray.
Hollywood's studio system is still very good so far, and it is very commercialized. It seems that anyone with any capital can enter.
You have to look at the surface, all this seems very beautiful, people with dreams will always succeed, as long as you work hard, you will always be recognized.
But this is not the case. Monopoly is ubiquitous here. It is easy for foreign capital to come in. It is just a dream to get out of it.
Like the financial field, this place also pays attention to inheritance. The Jewish consortium controls the entire Hollywood. If you want to avoid being targeted, it is best to choose cooperation.
William White didn't want to join forces with them, but he also didn't want to be hostile to them, so keeping a low profile became the only choice.
"Forbe, let someone take it to the Screenwriters Guild for the record, and we will start recruiting."
"Okay, sir."
In this way, William White began to build his grass-roots team. There are too many such stupid and bold big dogs in Hollywood, and they have not attracted any attention at all.
There are dozens of such movies every year, many of which cannot be released at all, and the money invested is naturally lost.
It would be wrong to say that no one paid attention at all. As soon as his script was filed, it immediately attracted the attention of the Screenwriters Guild.
Those who engage in screenwriting are usually young men, and reading skills are naturally indispensable. If you haven't read Forrest Gump, you are obviously not suitable for the job of screenwriting.
The adaptation of this book into a movie does not require much modification, and the ability to control the text is very strong. Even if some people disagree, it is not a big problem to refer to it.
It was widely rumored that a film company planned to spend millions of dollars to purchase the adaptation rights. Although it was not known whether it was true or not, the news was shocking enough.
The purchasing power of millions of dollars now is very high, and the luxury villa that William White rents is only around a million dollars.
It is hard to say how much the film company bid. It is well known that William White refused, but what is going on with the script here today?Same name?
What the hell is White Films?
I have never heard of such a telecommunications company.
The two guys who came to file the case were obviously not William White himself. Judging by their slick appearance, [-]% of them were lawyers.
A movie company as big as Sesame Mung Bean, where there is money to hire legal consultants, when they sign a contract, they usually hire a lawyer temporarily, and it is often the cheapest one.
What's the situation now, it's just a simple filing, just send your assistant and secretary, there's no need to find a lawyer!
This William White might really be that writer, no wonder he didn't sell the adaptation rights, he planned to get involved in the film industry himself.
Chapter 26 The Big Tree of the Knife Drama
This matter must be taken seriously. Nobody has any interest in joining the guild. The best-selling author is different. This matter must be reported.
"Boss, you have a nice place, lend it to me for a party next time."
"Okay, is your body able to take it? You look like a bamboo pole."
"Cut, I'm an inch thin and an inch long."
"Haha, the length doesn't seem to be useful, it's the thick stuff that works. Be careful not to bend it."
"Boss, when will you shoot this movie?"
"For a small budget, it will take a week to prepare, and the shooting will start soon."
"Boss, you're not making that kind of action movie, right? I can't."
Pfft, William White spewed out a mouthful of coffee. "What are you thinking, bastard, what is your identity now? Besides, how can anyone look at your skinny bamboo pole?"
"Haha, I can't do it. It's okay for you to direct and act on your own. If you find a few more girls in the school, you can almost work together."
"The actors have already been found. There are only a few extras. You can see if there are any suitable ones. The script is on the table."
Don't look at this product as unreliable, but read the script very seriously, and there is absolutely no frivolity shown.
It was William White's first foray into film, and the storyboarding of the script was terrifying. The good thing was that he couldn't make mistakes, but the bad thing was that it limited the performance of the actors.
The police academy is a classic of low-cost counterattacks. The style of the movie is not high. In order to make people laugh, it can be said that it will do everything possible.
Now that it is in the hands of William White, the tone is undoubtedly lowered again. This movie will definitely make people laugh.
William White has been influenced by the Internet in later generations, and all kinds of jokes come out of his mouth. The current American dramas are relatively conservative. When William White came back, he was still watching Bankrupt Girls, and they would be dirty from beginning to end.
The plot of the movie is very simple. In a certain city, the police cannot be recruited. In order to expand the police force, the female mayor infinitely expands the scope of recruitment. Those who could never be policemen all join the police force.
That being the case, there must be no shortage of black buddies. It’s not that there are no black buddies in the United States who are policemen, but relatively few.
What William White threw into the school included not only thieves but also drama actors.Hope viewers like this change.
This type of film has a characteristic, that is, the investment is very small and the shooting time is very short, which is very suitable for the current White Film Industry.
For low-budget movies, there will never be any big-name actors. Fortunately, Hollywood is short of everything, except street goods.
Pay?
It’s fine to just throw away a little, really don’t need too much, the more important actors are [-] to [-], this movie doesn’t have any starring roles, but many characters are quite brilliant.
The pay is too low and no one shoots?
How is it possible? Ninety percent of Hollywood actors are on the street, especially in this era. They are all guys with dreams, and reality will definitely teach them to compromise.
Eddie Murphy was still working as a salesman in a shoe store, and when he heard that he had been eyed for a position by an actor, this guy came right away, regardless of the salary industry.
Don't think this guy is stupid. No one who can succeed is a fool. This film company is not famous, but the boss is quite famous.
A best-selling book suitable for adaptation into a movie is very attractive to people with dreams.
Although William White is not rich, he will definitely not exploit too much. After all, this is a series of movies, and these people still have opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Especially this Eddie Murphy, he is still very young, at least in the next ten years, this is a cash cow.
All black buddies are talented in acting. This guy is especially good at imitating celebrities, and he is also well-known in the circle. William White, who has resurrected his life, naturally knows how to find this guy.
After all, before the accident happened in his family, he was also in this circle. The little fresh meat at that time turned into a billionaire.It made many people very uncomfortable.
His rich family knew that it was surprising that he could write a book. The most frightening thing was that the book became more and more popular, and it had officially entered the bestseller list.
Although the ranking is only tenth, don't forget, this is a new book, and the author is also a newcomer, such a result is too scary.
Not to mention other writers, even a publishing house may not have a book in the top ten.
This is still a slow-growing book, and its sales are increasing every day. It is hard to say whether it can be capped, but the top three are indeed not difficult.
White Films has gained some fame now, and more people are coming to audition. It is obviously a good choice to make friends with a best-selling author. You wait until he becomes popular, and then it will be too late .
Don't look down on small companies. They still do things in a disciplined manner. Although it is a so-called small investment, they are obviously not short of money. Cameras and lighting are all good things. If you shouldn't save money, you will never save money.
For this newcomer, the Hollywood tycoons didn't care too much. He was originally a film school student. Now that he has some spare money, it's normal to invest some money.
Everyone has a dream, and the writers have done a good job. Even if the movie hits the street, it doesn't matter.
Regarding the refusal to sell the rights to adapt this product, the giants didn't care too much about it. They won't shoot it right away after buying it. There is still room for improvement in the popularity of this book, and they have a lot of time to wait slowly.
Hollywood has its own production route, usually there is a good script, and then the director is determined.
Directors and producers usually have no money, so they need to find investors at this time, and only after they have investors can they take the next step.
Hollywood is a producer system, and they are actually the brokers of the industry, connecting the entire chain through various complicated interpersonal relationships.
White Pictures skipped the link of being a producer. The screenwriter, director, producer, and investment are all William White alone.
I have to say, this is a strange thing, not only a member of the Screenwriters Guild, but also a member of the Directors and Producers Guild.
Although this kind of situation is rare, it is not absolutely impossible. If William White wants to be a guest actor, it is estimated that he will need to join the actor's guild.
Don't underestimate these guilds, their membership fees are not in vain, and when they are dismissed by the boss, the guild will definitely come out and shout.
This is actually a kind of American culture, and you can't say it's bad. Without the existence of this force, the capitalists would definitely be unscrupulous.
Of course, there are shortcomings. With this group of guys, there are constant conflicts between workers and capitalists.
In fact, it would be nice to have an arbitration institution. The unrestrained expansion of the guild will eventually end the manufacturing industry in the United States.
If you're just an insignificant guild, you won't get much attention, but it's not the case with the larger two, such as the Auto Workers and the Iron Workers.
These guys are definitely not easy to mess with, because the guild has a large number of people, and politicians are willing to endorse them, so the boss will have no way to survive.
Chapter 27 has a comedy called Bean
Rowan Atkinson was still acting in a play in London. He never thought that he, who was unknown, would receive an olive branch from Hollywood.
What?Not the main character.
What are you thinking?I am not the protagonist in a drama.
Well, the salary is indeed not high, but this is also relative. The price of 20 US dollars is not low at all.
What's more, they will give out 5% of the North American box office dividends. Although it is for the entire crew, it is very sincere. You can't earn so much from acting in a drama for a year.
In this era, Eddie Murphy and Rowan Atkinson are well-deserved comedy kings.They have their own comedy attributes, even if they have a straight face, they are very funny.
Needless to say any nonsense, I will fly directly to Los Angeles the next day.In case I go late, this role will be gone.
Gathering a group of off-the-charts, William White began to fulfill the roles of director and producer.
After seeing such a detailed script, a group of Pujie were filled with emotion. Except for Eddie Murphy and Rowan Atkinson, the other actors were Hollywood Pujie, some were acting in stage plays, and some were serving as waiters.
Hollywood is not so easy to mess with. You need to eat without notice. Fortunately, it is easy to do odd jobs in the United States. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, it is not difficult to feed your stomach.
When have they seen the script? It would be good to have two lines of lines. They are not qualified to read the script at all. They can only follow what the assistant director says. If they dare to play at will, they will be driven away immediately.
Movie film is very expensive, who would waste time for the tricks, on the surface it is filmed, and the post-editing may be gone, anyway, you are a passerby, who cares about your feelings.
White Films is different. Not only does everyone have a script outline, but everyone has a shot script. Regardless of the chaotic crowd, almost everyone has a chance to perform.
It is now the end of May, and in order to catch up with the summer vacation, William White accelerated the shooting progress.
Paramount's studios are still expensive, and William White has no choice but to go to Canada for filming, but it is impossible to complete all the shooting there, and the cost may be even higher.
Some people say that you and the author are talking nonsense, how can you prepare the crew in a few days, and it doesn't take time to buy equipment?
