Chatty Hollywood

　　 "Is that done?"

　　 Three days later, when he officially received the preparation plan for the film project "Happy Death", Lao Qiang still couldn't believe it.

　　 "Judy Foster, this woman, really has a hand!"

"Yes!"

　　 Charlotte also echoed.

　　 Although Judy Foster took over the draft script of "Happy Death Day" on the day of the "Fatal Bend" celebration party, Charlotte did not expect that the progress could be so fast.

　　 "New Line and Orion are also in the game."

　　 While reading the plan, Charlotte calculated,

"Orion invested 1.6 million, Judy Foster’s "Egg" company invested 1 million, and New Line Company invested 1.8 million. Then, the total price of your share in the "Fatal Bend" project was converted into 400,000. Throw into the new movie together."

　　 "Our share is only 400,000?"

　　 Photographer Addison Yang was dissatisfied,

　　 "The new line must have been deliberately lowered. I think from the current box office, it would have to be $600,000!"

　　-As of now, the North American box office of "Fatal Corner" has been close to 60 million U.S. dollars. Although the strong challenge of "Forrest Gump" is about to come soon, but overall, it is no problem to increase by as much as 20 million.

　　 This is why Addison Young feels that the new line company has lowered their share.

　　——By the way, after the lobbying of the old gun, the photographer Addison Young happily joined Charlotte's studio which is still in preparation, and is ready to cooperate with their plan on film division.

　　 "I have missed a James Cameron, I don't want to miss a Charlotte Booth!"

　　 The words of Mr. Photographer made Charlotte blush a bit, but it is a good thing to have a good teammate to join.

　　 "Don't you understand, Addison? Finance staff are omnipotent at this time!"

　　 The old gun is also a mocking look,

"As the box office of "Fatal Bend" increases, you will find that the announced production costs will gradually increase-originally plus a large amount of publicity costs, it was only a little over 10 million US dollars, and it is now close to 13 thousand. Millions. Guess what the added cost is?"

　　 The old gun lifted his fingers and counted them one by one,

　　 "Desks, green plants, and toilet paper, are these guys working in the office building when we shoot the location!? And what's more ridiculous is this—"

　　 He pointed to his lower body,

"More than a thousand *****! I don't know, I thought we were going to Amsterdam! At that time, there were less than six women in the crew. In a few weeks, there were more than one thousand *** **How ​​is it consumed!?"

"do not be angry."

　　 Charlotte waved her hand.

　　 "This is the usual method of those companies. After all, the sharing is to eliminate costs and be based on profit. Now that the cost can be higher on the books, it naturally means that you can divide less!"

"Yes!"

　　 Old Gun and Addison Yang sighed together.

　　 "However, some of these can actually be retrieved by checking the cost report. But, Charlotte--"

　　 Lao Qiang frowned when he looked at the preparation plan for "Happy Death Day".

　　 "——The total production budget is only 4.8 million U.S. dollars. Isn’t it a bit small? The cost of "Fatal Corner", even if the promotional cost is eliminated, is probably around 5 million, right?"

　　 "It's not much. The pure production cost of "Fatal Turn" is actually not much different from this budget, not too much."

　　 Charlotte scratched her head, but she was confident in her mouth.

　　 "If you use it carefully, it will actually be enough to make a good movie."

　　 "Well, you are the director, you have the final say!"

　　 Addison Young doesn’t really care about the budget.

　　 "However, with only such a small amount of money, I am afraid I can't afford to hire any famous actors, right?"

　　 "I have considered this point."

　　 Charlotte paused before continuing,

　　 "I would like to use Judy Foster's relationship to invite some well-known actors to come for friendly guest appearances, do you think it will work?"

　　—The so-called friendship guest appearance, although it does not mean that it is free to appear, but the price is not based on the normal remuneration. Therefore, if you invite a more suitable actor to make a friendly guest appearance, it will indeed have a very good price/performance ratio.

　　 The old gun also agrees with this, but—

　　 "Will Foster be willing to help this?"

"It might work!"

　　 Charlotte did not dare to guarantee 100%,

　　 "After all, she is the second producer of this movie!"

　　 "Second!? Who is the first producer?"

　　 "...Anthony Westwood."

　　 "It's Tony again!?"

　　 The old gun screamed,

　　 "Didn't he say that he is going to retire?"

　　 "Don't retreat again!"

　　 Charlotte said gloomily,

　　 "According to him, he was inspired by "Fatal Turn" and he hopes to dedicate his entire life to the film industry. To this end, he also specially drafted a will to die."

　　 "The will?"

　　 "Once he died suddenly during filming, he allowed the film party to use his name to promote the film."

　　 "Does he want to follow Alan McElroy?"

　　 The old gun was a little bit dumbfounded for a while,

　　 "I think, with this will, maybe one day he will be bought by the boss of his company and killed-what a good promotional material!"

　　 "...When you say that, I am really worried about his life safety!"

　　 Charlotte made a very cold joke~www.novelmt.com~ Seeing that the other two did not reply, he coughed and continued:

"Actually, it is quite normal that Tony that guy will be the producer of the "Happy Death Day" project-in the current investment plan, the new line pays the most money, and the producer should be their person. Tony worked with us again..."

　　 "It makes sense, isn't it?"

　　 The old gun grumbled,

"Speaking of, Charlotte, how are your script preparations for the second edition? With a production budget of about 4.8 million, it is estimated that the preparatory meeting will not be over soon. If you can’t produce the complete script, It’s hard for me as a casting director to find someone to audition."

　　 "Don't worry! I won't wait too long!"

Charlotte seemed confident, but Old Gun didn’t believe it very much, because he knew that the difficulty of the script this time was far greater than that of "Fatal Turn"-after all, 80% of the difficulty of the infinite loop type movie is whether the script is designed. It's clever enough.

and--

　　 "You seem to have been studying the script you received from the students of USC for the past two days! Is it that interesting?"

　　 The old gun reminded Charlotte that the most important thing at the moment should be to complete the script of "Happy Death", not anything else.

　　 But Charlotte didn’t seem to hear the meaning of the old gun. He raised his hand and handed the old gun a script.

　　 "Let's take a look! It may not be interesting, but if it can be shot quickly, maybe it can echo our "Fatal Corner" and hit the box office again!"

"so smart?"

　　 The old gun general accepted the script suspiciously, only to find that the title was unexpectedly——

　　 "Blair the Witch!"
