American TV series

Chapter 73: So I'm not kneeling and begging

People on all lines are gone, and all that's left is to wait slowly. Sean doesn't have any good ideas in this regard.

There are several companies under his name, and the fitness club is training, selecting, and reserving employees. As long as Sean can overthrow the Dimeo criminal group, then the fitness club can naturally ride the wave to cover the entire New Jersey. As for now, please come back.

The director of operations is planning to sponsor a series of events, the 'Shawn Cup Basketball Game'.

An amateur basketball event covers six surrounding cities. The members are teams composed of street basketball players and basketball enthusiasts. For this event, Sean has to spend 50,000 US dollars, including sponsoring all participating teams for two

Sets of sports equipment, rental of competition venues, bonuses for participating teams, bonuses for the top three, etc.

The cost was not high, and it was tax-deductible. Sean approved it without much thought. According to the director of operations, if the effect was good, he would consider continuing it in the future and turning it into a regional amateur league.

The competition is completely free, and the purpose is to promote it. Because the contestants are all locals, I believe it will attract a large number of locals to support their relatives and friends.

Outside of the fitness club, the security company's business expansion was a little slow. Even if other companies had ideas, they were still waiting to see the effect of cooperation with banks. However, the wine business had completely stabilized. For a while, Sean found himself completely free.

After thinking about it, since there was nothing else to do for the time being, Sean decided to focus on the 'teaching material movie' issue.

If you want to make a movie, you must have a script. Sean plans to write the outline himself and then find a few script writers to write the story out.

However, Sean's knowledge of Hollywood is limited to knowing that Hollywood is in Los Angeles. Others...

Also know the San Fernando Valley.

There are also many famous works handed down from generation to generation!

At this time, Sean could only lament that his path was still too narrow!

Once again, I found Lamb from PricewaterhouseCoopers. After all, PricewaterhouseCoopers has business all over the United States, and even more business in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

After all, if you want to say that there are the most companies with messy accounts, money wasting, and false accounting, then Hollywood must be number one in the United States.

"Invest in making movies?" Lamb shook his head like a rattle after hearing Sean's plan, "Don't think about it, there is no money to be made from this, the total box office in the movie market is limited every year."

"People only have so much money to spend on watching movies, and there is nothing left to exploit."

"I never thought about making box office money."

“If you don’t make money at the box office, who will make it?”

"Earn money from those big companies!"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"No!"

"Come and let me tell you." Lamb walked to Sean and lowered his head and said: "To make a movie, you must first set up a project, recruit actors, pay taxes and donations, and after getting the box office, the money from the theaters will be repaid in full, and the rest

The thirty-seven split account."

"Why is it only 70%?"

"Seventy percent belong to other publishing companies, and the remaining 30% belong to economic companies."

"What about mine?"

"No! These are all costs, and the box office is also divided. The accounts are absolutely clear, after all, the box office is only so much." Lamb spread his hands, this is how Hollywood treats fat sheep who want to enter the industry.

"That is to say, after some copyright management, the money I invested will be gone?"

"It depends on the person's face. Otherwise, if the equipment is damaged or the advertising expenses are spent, you will have to pay for it again." Lamb nodded heavily, "This is called tuition! The water in making movies is very deep, and you can't control it!

"

"You spend all this money and invest all this way just to pay for tuition?"

"right!"

"I finally made some money from a side job and wanted to make a movie. I also set up a project by chance and recruited actors. Not only do I have to lose money once, but I also have to look at the distributor's face?"

"right!"

"Then I can't kneel down and beg for food!"

"If you want to put it this way, if you want to find a way in Hollywood, you really have to kneel down and beg for food. That's it. How many people want to kneel down but still have no way."

Sean put his arm around Lamb's shoulders and said, "Let me ask you, why should I take advantage of others?"

"I just have weak legs and feet and can't kneel down!"

"Do you want to make money while standing? Then you'd better not go to Hollywood." Lamb shook his head.

"I don't understand this. Why is it that if you are in a serious business, you might as well just fish for the sidelines?"

"In the eyes of the public, you are an investor, but in the eyes of Hollywood people, you are just a beggar on his knees. In Hollywood, among the world-famous male and female stars, which one did not come in on their knees? How many stars are there?

I'm still kneeling and licking it now." Lamb shrugged, "It's making money, business, not shabby!"

"Shameful, damn shabby!"

"Then you'd better not go to Hollywood."

"I want to go, and I have to stand and make money."

"You can't make it." Lamb shook his head.

"Can you make money from this?" Sean took out his gun and slapped it on the table.

"Yes, let's take advantage of it."

"Can you make money from this?" Sean took out a bag of money and threw it on the table.

"Yes, kneel down!"

"Then add this to this, can you make money while standing?"

On the plane from Los Angeles to Newark, three men sat together and chatted quietly.

"I didn't expect to meet you. Do you know what the person who paid the money does?" A man with a Mediterranean hairstyle asked with a smile.

"I don't know, never mind." Another person shrugged, "Just give me money. There are a lot of people like this nowadays. They always think that they have a good story and they can make money in Hollywood as long as they film it. They don't even think about it.

, there are so many movies in Hollywood every year, but only a few of them really make money."

"I heard that the other party meant that he would come up with the outline and let us ghostwrite it, but I really doubt that he would be able to understand the split-shot script." After that, the three of them burst into laughter.

Just like Lamb said, due to the popularity of the film market and the fame of Hollywood, countless wealthy people around the world want to come in with their money and get a share of the pie. As a result, there have been many people in Hollywood who specialize in defrauding these foreign investors.

film production company.

There are too many loopholes that can be exploited in the production and distribution of movies. Things like cheating investors have become an assembly line operation. In the end, whether the movie is produced and whether it can be released is another matter. Even if it is released, the final investors will not be able to do it.

You will find that you can't get a penny at all, and all the box office revenue has been split by the distributor, theaters, and brokerage companies.

Half of Hollywood's companies are fed by these fat sheep around the world.

This is true for any closed industry in the world. This is called crossing lines like mountains. If you want to cross industries, you must first break the mountain in front of you.

Before these three guys came, a film production company had already contacted them, and there were more than one film production company, and they were involved everywhere.

Thanks to the handsome prodigal Yan Qing1 for the reward
