American TV series

There is a piece of paper on the table with a lot of Chinese characters scrawled on it.

Sean still likes to write Chinese characters when thinking.

This is the ‘one-year plan’ he made for himself after much thought.

First: Shoot the movie and let Sean Films completely establish itself in Hollywood.

The reason is not only to teach the free American people how to rob... but also to enrich the entertainment and cultural life of the American people. It is also to lay a nail in Hollywood. Movies and television are one of the best weapons of propaganda and brainwashing. How much history has been ruined by movies?

Due to tampering, how much darkness has been whitewashed by the movie.

A great man once said: The position of public opinion... is the same.

So, as a member of the bourgeoisie...ahem.

Anyway, that’s what it means.

Second: Get rid of the Dimeo criminal group and expand your territory of control.

At present, the fact that he is engaged in "copycat wine" has not been exposed, and he can still intercept excessive profits, but Sean knows that this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later. Before that, he must try to expand his territory and collect more profits.

What's more, once the matter is exposed, the huge profits from the "copycat wine" will inevitably attract many dark forces to take action against him. If his foundation is not deep enough by then, not only the business may not be able to be saved, but also other people may not be able to be saved by then.

Third: Continue to carry out intensive farming on the current site.

The land I currently occupy is part of the greater New York metropolitan area and actually has great development potential, and I will further develop it.

By thoroughly developing it, not only can it make money, but it can also deeply penetrate its roots into surrounding areas, allowing its influence to reach everywhere.

There are many projects that can be developed, such as 'underground casinos', 'private lottery', 'strip clubs', 'underground boxing rings', 'black markets', etc., legal and illegal, many things can be developed.

Among them, the second target takes the longest time. At present, Sean already has a lot of information about the Dimeo criminal group.

But it's just superficial.

After decades of development, the Dimeo criminal group's institutions have become stable, and the group leader is elected.

The group has a total of 26 small families, distributed in various cities in New Jersey. Sean has already mastered who the head of the family is, who the main members are, and what legal and illegal projects they operate.

But these things can't help Sean fight or even overthrow the Dimeo criminal group.

He also needs to know how far these families are related to each other, who is allies with whom, who has grudges with whom, and more deeply, how deep the relationship with the political circles is, and who will protect them if there is a problem.

Only when all the information is complete can Sean find a way to cut and split the Dimeo criminal group. Only when they themselves are in civil strife can Sean have the opportunity to take action.

Before that, Sean couldn't do anything. He had to keep a low profile and prevent the other party from discovering his private actions.

Therefore, at present, Sean can only focus on film shooting and in-depth development of the surrounding areas of Newark.

…

"The script is pretty good." Norris once again flew from Hollywood to Newark, and this time he was much more energetic when he arrived.

Because the $240,000 promised by Sean has arrived!

This made him feel that he might earn more by following Sean than by keeping his previous company!

Even if it is only 2% of the shares.

"But the question is, boss, how much money are you prepared to invest in filming? In the final analysis, making a movie depends on investment." Norris now wants to analyze the problem from a professional perspective, which is why Sean invited him.

"The funds that I can currently raise are only 4.6 million." Sean handed over the details, of which 1.2 million was placed by drug criminals in Norris, and 1.8 million was earned from robbing Tian Xingdao a few days ago...

.

After all, it had only been in operation for half a year, and the security company had spent a lot of money, so Sean didn't have much money.

Norris was furious and said very tactfully: "Or, let's go to the video tape market."

Sean didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"Okay, okay, let me think about it!" Norris frantically rubbed his Mediterranean hairstyle, which reduced the already small hair volume.

I really don’t blame Norris for being worried, it’s really Sean’s request that goes too far.

This is a crime film, or an urban crime film, involving robberies, shootouts, chases and other scenes. This is completely a big-production routine, and every frame is shot with dollars.

Unless it's made into special effects.

As for Sean's more than 4 million US dollars, at least Norris thought it was not enough to cover the cost of the gunfight scene.

What's more, there are actors' money, director's money, film, filming team, equipment, exploding vehicles, simulated weapons and ammunition...

There are also distribution costs and advertising costs. Normally, a movie like this would cost about 15 million.

Take "Scarface" filmed in 1983 as an example. The production cost of that drama was as high as 30 million US dollars.

Of course, Sean never thought of hiring a superstar like Al Pacino, otherwise the 4.6 million would not be enough for his salary.

Sean also knew that Norris was in a bit of a dilemma, but I had no money.

Seeing Norris looking crazy, Sean had no choice but to say: "Tell me where you need to spend the most money, and I will think of ways to save money for you."

"Okay!" Norris rubbed his face, calmed down and said: "The robbers didn't spend much money when planning, but when robbing a bank, we need a scene layout, and we need to find a building like this

The house was then renovated to look like a bank or a vault. This was a huge expense. Every time a scene was shot, the damaged things had to be renovated.”

"The second one is the gunfight scene, which is super expensive." Norris gestured: "If the effect is good, it must be shot on location, and then you need to apply to the city government for a time period to close the road, which requires a large number of extras and must be destroyed.

Many vehicles require professional stuntmen, while ordinary actors can only pose, especially the battle sequence in an abandoned factory that you designed later."

"These shots are the most difficult to shoot. If you want good results, you must use a long lens. If there is a problem with an extra or a stand-in in a long shot, you have to reshoot it. The time, film, and location costs are horribly high."

"By the way, the actors' union and relevant laws stipulate that these must be insured by an insurance company, which is also a lot of money."

"Any more questions?" Sean looked at Norris and asked.

"Uh... gone." Norris's mouth twitched. Isn't this enough?

"Wait for my news!" Sean said and stood up directly.
