Hollywood legendary director

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

Putting aside the shackles of the game, it was a relatively unassuming step for him.

He is a little afraid that after losing the ashes of the game fan market, "Resident Evil" can make money.

But after thinking about it, his movies can't always refer to games.

If the version of the game is not updated or unpopular, don't the movie series of "Resident Evil" have to stay in place?

Especially after seeing the success of original scripts such as "A New York Trip", Paul Anderson is more determined to overthrow and rebuild the film's follow-up shooting plan.

As soon as the two communicated, Paul Anderson's attitude towards Lehman was getting better and better, but he did not say anything about cooperation.

Lehman didn't know what Paul was thinking, and thought he was embarrassed to open the investment.

So he hinted: "How much budget do you think this movie needs. Is the funds enough?"

"The budget will not be much, and the actors' pay will be very low. A conservative estimate is less than 50 million, which should be enough." Paul Anderson grinned.

Well, he opened his own studio, and he will also participate in the investment in the "Resident Evil" series, and his fiancée's film remuneration is based on the box office plus the basis, and the box office share is the bulk. The basic salary is not very much, and it is further The cost of shooting is reduced, and as for the other actors, the cost is even lower.

You know, "Resident Evil" is an absolute heroine, otherwise it will not be taken by Paul, and it will be adapted into a work to praise his girlfriend.Perhaps, in these 50 million, the actors paid less than 10 million, and they also spend money on special effects and scenery.

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

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

"what?"

Paul Anderson was a little dazed.

He has never thought about the investment of Laleman.

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

What is afraid of is the decentralization of power.

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

He also occupies less than 20% of the copyright of the "Resident Evil" series. It is under many checks and balances that he is now the number one project.Even so, he often compromises and is not so tough.

However, he may be born with this bowl of rice.

This kind of operation is far better than many film newcomers.

Don’t you see, when Cameron was not yet well-established, even how he made and edited the movie was not based on the face of the employer. He often needed to get angry and threaten in order to barely achieve a certain goal.

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

Otherwise, it might be like Cameron, step by step.

Of course, Cameron survived very quickly. After "True Lies", he has basically determined his status as a tyrant.

......

Lehman said this, making Paul Anderson very embarrassed.

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

First of all, he tried his best to maintain the current situation. Under the checks and balances of the three companies, they all gave him the face of the middleman, and he did prove with his results that he can make money by following him.Everyone believes him.

Secondly, he is not as qualified as Lehman.

Even though he is eleven or twelve years old, his work is king in the film industry.

Lehman has successfully operated the project several times and won the French box office champion of the year. There are several works that exceed 100 million.

And he?There are far more screenwriters than directors, and the shooting experience is not as good.

He was very worried that his project would be interfered by Lehman, and he would never be linked to him again.After all, those capitalists want to make money, and whoever gives more profits doesn't just listen to them.If by any chance, the third one gets a big hit, who will this title count for?

The box office of the first and second films is not high, but the third one has increased significantly. Anyone can say that it is the credit of Lehman joining... If that is the case, then there is still a fart, and I must be honest. If you lie down and make money, you won't have the chance to stand up.

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

No, I can't agree.

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

Haha, temptation, naked temptation is an exchange of interests.No, I can't compromise.

Paul Anderson was shocked, but he was worried.

In case, he used these words to discuss cooperation with Constantine and other producers, it is estimated that they are very willing-who does not know that Lehman's company is very profitable, and the profits of the projects they operate are not low.

A recent TV series "Prison Break".

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

There are follow-up markets.When the TV series is finished, the rights to play in the second and third rounds will be sold, and the CD will be sold for a long time. It is estimated that the return on investment of a TV series will be close to 200%.

This kind of thing is easy to estimate, and the investment return ratio of close to ten "Friends" is even more talked about in TV circles.The ratings of the new drama "Prison Break" can exceed 5. Firefly Pictures has this kind of audience appeal when it first enters the TV circle. It is also regarded as a goal pursued by many production companies that specialize in TV series survival...

He can't guarantee that other people won't be tempted—well, he himself is tempted, the two "Resident Evil" has brought him less than 30 million in revenue, and he has taken a lot of risk.

That being the case, why not hug your thighs?

His sense of Lyman is still good so far, but he still has to find a way to guarantee his rights.

Paul Anderson hesitated for a while, trying to build relationships and said: "I personally would like to join your company and make money together, but I have to convince other producers if I say this alone. If I am in charge of pulling the bridge, what are your thoughts? What about shooting?"

"Of course it is to support you. How did you do it before, and how you will continue to do it in future projects."

This was beyond Paul's expectations.

How could he be so simple!

Strange, strange...
