American TV series
Chapter 88: Really shameless
Sean simply described it, and Wells immediately agreed!
Without any hesitation.
The only requirement is that when the gangsters are attacked in the end, Security X should not appear in the camera, and more of the glorious image of the police under his leadership should be shown.
Welles didn't care whether the movie made money, let alone the remuneration, what he wanted was the publicity effect.
Even if it does poorly at the box office in other parts of the country, in Newark, because it happened here, the attendance is bound to be full.
This is enough!
As for blocking the streets to facilitate filming, are the police officers involved in using their working time to gain profits or something?
If you don’t pay, it’s not like whoring!!
This is promoting the image of the police!
This is a warning to those criminals!
Very aboveboard!
Not only did Wells not charge any money, he was also worried that the shooting results would not be good enough, and the government could provide a lot of conveniences, just using it as a publicity guise.
After coming out of the police station, Sean got into the car and made another OK gesture to Norris, "Wells will lead the police to perform for free, and they will take care of the road closures and other government matters."
Norris felt that it was beyond expectation, and he was also very impressed. This was not only a matter of saving money, but it could also be used for publicity.
"Let's go to the base!" Sean said again: "You may not know that most of the members of my security company are also auxiliary police officers."
"I don't know what the stuntmen you are talking about are like, but I can guarantee that no one is more professional than them."
"You don't need any simulated firearms, just use real guns and live ammunition, and replace the bullets with blank ammunition. I can make it myself over there!"
When they arrived at the base, Sean asked everyone to put on auxiliary police uniforms and conduct a drill. This was the first time Norris saw elite soldiers practicing combat with his own eyes. Throughout the process, he gestured with his hands to look like the camera, and exclaimed in surprise.
Continuously.
The fierceness of these soldiers and the momentum displayed in the hail of bullets cannot be performed by Hollywood extras. It comes from the bottom of their hearts.
It's just a temporary contact, and the ability to eat is definitely incomparable.
Hollywood has always shot this kind of footage by cutting it out bit by bit, because there is no way to shoot it all at once with a long lens, so mistakes are almost inevitable.
But this does not exist for these soldiers. There is no need for a director to direct them, they just need to be filmed quietly.
"Real banks and vaults."
"The real police includes the chief of police."
"The real gunfight scene is restored."
"Now tell me how much the budget can be compressed." Sean asked as they sat in the office again.
"It is certain that the cost can be greatly reduced. If we do not hire big-name actors, from production to promotion, it is enough. Let alone making money, at least the possibility of losing money is not high." Norris calculated in his mind, as long as the box office is in
Around 20 million, excluding the share of theaters and distributors, can roughly recover the cost. Adding in the video tape market, after some consideration, I gave a conservative estimate.
After all, Sean is not one of those fat sheep investors or ordinary bosses, and Norris doesn't dare to brag. If he messes up, who knows if this guy will throw himself into the sea to feed the fishes.
"Do it well. I'm very optimistic about you. You don't have to be afraid. Even if you mess up, I won't throw you into the sea." Sean thought for a while and said some words of comfort.
Norris's whole body was stiff. Please stop comforting me. I'm so scared!
"That's it!" Sean patted Norris on the shoulder, "I will hire an action director and stunt team from Hong Kong Island for you later, and try to save money where possible."
Norris shrugged his shoulders. As a Hollywood filmmaker, he sincerely looked down on anyone from Hong Kong Island, but if his boss said it, he would not refute, "Boss, how do you choose a director?"
"There is also the casting of actors, and you have to make the final decision on these."
"Me?" Sean frowned, he was not familiar with this.
Norris came to Sean's side and coughed lightly and said: "Yes, although it is a male-led drama, it also needs a female vase to set it off, so the boss needs you to select an actress."
Regarding the actress, Norris emphasized his tone.
"Huh?" Sean turned his head and glared at Norris, who gave a look that every man could understand.
"Ahem, what are you talking about? I'm a serious person, and I want you to film in a serious manner. Don't do those little tricks for me!" Sean scolded him with a straight face.
Norris was stunned for a moment, regretting that he flattered him.
"You will be arrested as soon as you get back to work. This is the first film of the new film company. We must try our best to make it perfect. If anyone is caught doing small tricks in private, I will chop him off!" Sean said coldly.
Said with a straight face.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely be optimistic about it, and there will definitely be no trouble." Norris nodded repeatedly to assure him.
"As for the actors, I will go take a look at the end and help you pass it by. You can do the preliminary screening work yourself. Okay, that's it. You can go out." Sean waved his hand.
Coming out of the office, Norris wiped his sweat, walked a few steps and suddenly stopped again, frowned and started thinking, 'passing over' the 'preliminary screening work', thinking about it, and suddenly his face was enlightened!
Or how do you say that he is the boss? This is what he said...
It’s really shameless!
…
With Norris gone, Sean still has a lot to do.
"How is the private lottery thing I asked you to check?" Jonas came in, and Sean asked him after gesturing for him to sit down.
‘Private lotteries’ are popular in various countries around the world, and the drawing methods are exactly the same as local lotteries.
For example, if the regular lottery has 7 numbers, then the private lottery will have 6 numbers. The probability of winning is higher. People who like to play lotteries prefer private lottery.
The only problem is that the 'host' must have credibility in the local area so that people can believe that you will redeem the prize to the other party.
This is completely fine with Sean... no, it's the mafia led by Jonas.
In addition, opening a private lottery requires many sales points. This can also be accomplished by relying on the bars of the following gangs.
Therefore, Jonas would be sorry for himself if he didn’t engage in a private lottery!
"The private lottery here is not large-scale. It is relatively scattered. It is run by a small gang in private." Jonas explained the situation he had learned.
"So do they pay taxes?"
"Private lottery, what tax do you pay on private lottery?" Jonas looked confused.
"Not paying taxes, not paying taxes is a fucking crime, it's a worm in the country!" Sean knocked on the table angrily.
Jonas:???
"Compile all the information and send it to Director Wells."
"Is it necessary? In the worst case, we can deal with them ourselves." Jonas asked with some confusion.
"Abide by the law, abide by the law!" Sean pointed at Jonas with a look of hatred on his face, "We are serious people, don't really think of yourself as a bad person! OK!"
As he said this, Sean couldn't help but laugh, and explained to Jonas again, "We are taxpayers, so why should we do it ourselves if we don't use the power of the police!"
"Besides, after I gave this to Wells, he still wanted to remember me as a favor."
"In addition, when enforcing the law, let our X security auxiliary police go and give those gangs a warning."
"I don't care how much money they make, but I must have a share!"
Jonas was completely stunned. I may not be a human, but you are a real dog.
Just a private lottery player will make you sell it several times, and even the capitalists will cry.
