I am a nobleman in England

After visiting the film company on the movie theater line, Arthur looked indifferent. He had already lost his previous expectations. He felt sad and depressed. Through the visit and the introduction by the person in charge of the film company, he was very indifferent to this film company with only a dozen people. In the current British film industry, Arthur can only use one tragic word to express emotion.

Well, how can it be a tragic word!

It is really not an exaggeration to say that it is in dire straits.

Can you imagine the current 613 films released in the UK from 2003 to 2010?And only seven percent of these movies are profitable.In films that cost as much as 10 million pounds, no more than one-fifth is profitable.

The output of 7 years can't even match the number of movies made by the Tian Dynasty in one year.

What’s even more sad is that a Harry Potter series has almost exhausted all registered actors in the UK. This is not praise, but that all actors in the UK are relying on Harry Potter. The series of movies are mixed...

How pitiful he is!

You know, the last two parts of the Harry Potter series have already started shooting, which means that after shooting, many people will lose their jobs.

At least half of the people in his film company went to participate in the shooting of the Harry Potter series of films, so Arthur would see a situation where only a dozen people stayed behind.

What can he hope for?

Before Arthur thought about coming, he still wanted to carry a few future Hollywood movies to make money. Now it seems that he is completely blinded by his own desire.

Not only is there a shortage of money, but also a shortage of talents. What's more, even if the film is made, as long as it does not go abroad and is shown in North America, it will not make money. Not only does the local audience disagree with British films, the market is also very small, and it is completely Hollywood The back garden of the movie.

Therefore, filming in the UK is not only hopeless, but also dark!

"Boss, in the UK, the traditional practice of film producers is to obtain funds from the British Film Association Fund and the BBC Film Public Fund. The investment scale of the British Film Association Fund of 15 million pounds and the BBC Film Public Fund of 11 million pounds is similar to that of Hollywood. Compared with the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, it seems a bit pitiful.

In addition to capital investment, British films also face huge challenges in terms of talent."The person in charge of the film company is also the famous British producer Rebecca. He noticed the disappointment of Arthur Boleyn, the young noble and rich man who had just become her boss, and smiled helplessly: "Really, to the UK I am pessimistic about the future of LI movies.

The output of British independent films has been declining in recent years. Although the government’s policy of attracting inward investment is good for the British film industry, the more stable employment created by large-scale investment has caused problems for independent films.

Now, when we want to shoot an independent LI movie, we often suffer from not being able to recruit relevant cast and crew, because almost everyone has found a job in the Harry Potter crew, and the contract period is often as long as 9 months.All of these make it more and more difficult to shoot local British films.

Therefore, we can only wait helplessly now, even if there is a shooting project, there is no one to start it."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the situation would be so difficult. After listening to you, I was really disappointed. You know, I was still thinking about seeing if I could write a story I thought into a script. , Made into a movie..."

Arthur smiled helplessly and shook his head, and continued: "Now it seems that I think too much."

Hearing the words of the young boss, Rebecca, the head of the film company, looked at Binns, the CEO of the cinema. After looking at each other, she said with some expectation: "Boss, if the story is wonderful, you are willing to invest and form a The crew, there is still no problem..."

Arthur looked at his eyes shining a little bit dumbfounded, and a little excited looking forward to Rebecca looking at him. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "The story is a good story. I can also invest a portion of it. You can guarantee that you can make money after shooting. ?"

"Ahem..." As a middle-aged woman, Rebecca blushed when asked by the young boss. She was very embarrassed. She was also insane and mad. When she heard that she was taken advantage of, she was still new to her company. The boss, who is also a billionaire who is not short of money, has the intention to make a movie, so naturally he should first pit the project before talking about it.

Looking at Rebecca's embarrassment, Binns on the side also shook his head and smiled bitterly to ease the embarrassment, "Boss, if you can, you can write the script, and then give it to Rebecca to see if she can pull it. Part of the investment may be able to work."

"Hehe, to be honest, seeing the status quo of British films, I really lost my idea of ​​investing, but since you are your own film company, you still have some ambitions. It is worth encouraging. Let's go, I think. The story is a horror of a secret room, a disaster, and a monster, which is related to a nightmare I had.

I believe that this kind of horror movie does not cost much, and it is fine to operate at a small cost. I will allocate 5 million pounds to you. My only requirement is that all people are from the UK. What I want is a UK movie. Can it be done?"

Arthur looked at the disappointed, a little sad Rebecca, and he couldn’t bear it. It’s really sad that British movies have mixed up to this point. However, it can’t hurt the enthusiasm of this group of filmmakers. Decided to use Hollywood scripts with a small investment to try the water.

As long as the movie is not too bad, I believe that the routines of monster thrillers can still recover the cost. Moreover, the more difficult and the desert, the more shining the achievements will be. Maybe it will become a big hit. Let your own movie The company boomed and became a benchmark for British cinema.

"Really? Boss--" Rebecca, who had no hope, looked at the young boss with beautiful eyes, and confirmed with excitement.

"Haha, really, I've given you the opportunity. It's up to you if you can grasp it. I'm still pretty sure about this story. I used to write it out and vote for Hollywood studios.

Also, whether you can continue to shoot, you have to rely on the money earned from this movie to make the final decision..."As he said, Arthur pointed his head and continued to laugh: "There are many good stories, you know, I still have the aura of a writer on my head."

"Please rest assured, the boss, we will do our best and we will never mess up!" Although Rebecca knows that a movie wants to make money, there are many factors to consider, but she can't care about so many now. After flicking the money, the people and machines in the film company are rusty.
