Legendary Hollywood Director

Paul Anderson is very pleased with the support of Lyman's point of view.

Aside from the constraints of the game, it was a relatively unconfident step for him.

He was a little worried about whether Resident Evil could make money after losing the game's ashes of fans.

But on second thought, his movies can't always refer to games.

If the version of the game is not updated or popular, wouldn't the movie series of Resident Evil have to stand still?

Especially after seeing the success of original scripts such as New York Row, Paul Anderson is more determined to tear down and rebuild the follow-up filming plan of the movie.

The two communicated, and Paul Anderson's attitude towards Lehmann was getting better and better, but he didn't say anything about cooperation.

Lehman didn't know what Paul was thinking, and thought he was too embarrassed to ask for investment.

So he hinted: How much budget do you think this film needs to use. Is there enough money?

The budget will not be very large, and the actors' remuneration will be very low. A conservative estimate is less than 50 million, which should be enough. Paul Anderson said carelessly.

Well, he opened his own studio, and he will also participate in the investment of the Resident Evil series, and his fiancee's salary is the box office plus the basis, the box office share is the big one, the basic salary is not a lot, and it is further in comparison. The cost of filming is compressed, and as for other actors who take part in the show, they get even lower.

You must know that Resident Evil is an absolute heroine, otherwise it would not be taken by Paul and adapted into a work to hold his girlfriend. Perhaps, in these 50 million miles, the actor's salary is less than 10 million yuan, and they only spend money on special effects and scenery.

Moreover, they are very good at controlling budget costs, and in many cases they can get movie policy subsidies from the UK, Germany, and France. Those capitalists still have some strength.

Then if you say, I want to invest a sum, are you willing? Lehmann said suddenly.

what?

Paul Anderson is a little confused.

He hadn't even thought about Laleman's investment or anything.

With his connections, there are too many ways to get funding for filming. In order to maximize profits, he even found three film companies to produce together.

The fear is that someone will split power.

After all, if the funds are all controlled by one family, he, the producer, will not have a great say.

He also accounted for less than 20% of the copyright of the Resident Evil series. It is under the checks and balances of various parties that he has the status of the number one project today. Even so, he often compromised and was less assertive.

However, he may be born to eat this bowl of rice.

To have such an operation is far stronger than that of many new filmmakers.

Don't you see, before Cameron made his fortune, even how the film was shot and edited was not just a matter of the owner's face, and he often needed to get angry and threatened in order to reluctantly achieve a certain purpose of his own.

And people like Wen Ziren and Lehman only met a very good film predecessor to lead the way, so they can quickly get on the right track.

Otherwise, it is estimated that like Cameron, he has to get up step by step.

certainly,

Cameron boiled very quickly, and after True Lies, his status as a tyrant has basically been determined.

......

Lehman said this, making Paul Anderson very embarrassed.

Although he admired Lehman very much, he was not very willing to have outsiders intervene.

First of all, the current situation was maintained by him with all his might. Under the checks and balances of the three companies, they all gave him face as a middleman, and he did prove with his achievements that he could make money. Everyone believed him.

Second, he is no match for Lehmann's seniority.

Even though he is eleven or twelve years older, in the film industry, works are king.

Lehmann has successfully operated many projects, and also won the French annual box office champion, and there are several works that exceed 100 million.

And what about him? There are far more times as a screenwriter than as a director, and the filming experience is not as good.

He is very worried that his project will be interfered with by Lehman, and it will never be possible to hang on his head again. After all, those capitalists all want to make money, and whoever gives more profit will listen to whoever doesn't. In case, the third part is a big hit, who will be credited with this title?

The box office of the first and second films was not high, but the third film had a substantial increase in the box office. Anyone would say that it was due to Lehmann joining... If that is the case, then there is his fart, I guess it has to be honest If you lie down and make money, you won't be given the chance to stand up.

Also, now Lehman is very satisfied with the script outline and respects his script concept, but if he wants to revise it according to his wishes because of a certain link, should he compromise or not?

No, I can't agree.

Paul Anderson was about to refuse, but he heard Lyman say again: I recently conceived a TV series as a spin-off series of Ride to New York. I wonder if there is any possibility of cooperation?

Hehe, temptation, naked temptation, belongs to the exchange of interests. No, I can't compromise.

Paul Anderson was shocked, but he had concerns.

In case, he uses these words to discuss cooperation with producers such as Constantine, and it is estimated that they are very willing-who doesn't know that Lehmann's company is very profitable, and the projects it operates are not low-profit.

A recent TV series Prison Break.

The input cost is less than 35 million, and in the end, the cost is recovered just by selling the broadcasting rights. If you add the share of advertising costs, the profit should not be less than 30 million.

There are follow-up markets. After the TV series is drawn, the broadcast rights of the second and third rounds are sold again, and the CD-ROM can also be sold for a long time. It is estimated that the return on investment of a TV series is close to 200%.

This kind of thing is easy to estimate, and the return on investment ratio of Friends is close to ten is more talked about in the TV circles. And the new drama Prison Break has a rating of 5. Firefly Pictures has this kind of audience appeal when it first entered the TV circle. It is also regarded as the goal of struggle and pursuit by many production companies that specialize in making TV dramas to survive...

He can't guarantee that other people will not be tempted - well, he is tempted himself, and the two Resident Evil movies have brought him less than 30 million in revenue, which is still a big risk.

In that case, why not hug your thighs?

His sense of Lyman has been good so far, but he still has to figure out a way to secure his rights.

Paul Anderson hesitated for a while, and said as much as he could: I am very happy to be involved in your company and let everyone make money together, but I have to talk about this alone, and I have to convince other producers. Also, if If I'm in charge of pulling the bridge, what are your thoughts? Filming?

Of course I support you. How you did it originally will continue to be done in future projects.

This remark was beyond Paul's expectations.

How could he be so simple!

weird, weird...
