After officially joining the union, Murphy's main energy has been transferred to the preparation of the new film, and the script has to be further revised, especially according to the funds he can actually invest. Like last time, he can't have more than 90 in his hands. Thousands of dollars are poured into this one project.

Stanton Studio needs funds to operate. Although there are no employees now, at least one telephone operator and cleaner will be recruited later. If there is a suitable candidate, there will also be a financial staff. These all require money.

And a series of additional expenses after the production of Hard Candy also told Murphy that it would be extremely stupid to spend all the money on the production of a movie, not to mention other things, he himself maintained normal Life also needs money.

He's had a peculiar experience, but he's not the kind of saint who doesn't eat, drink, and drive without gasoline.

Murphy plans to invest between $800,000 and $900,000, with the final amount depending on the situation.

He does not have the ability to make a blood plasma horror film with 300,000 US dollars. He still has enough confidence in this money. After all, the US dollar is constantly depreciating, and the purchasing power of the US dollar is very different between the years before and after.

With the opening of colleges and universities in North America, Paul Wilson ended his spring break and returned to the Stanton studio. Unlike the last time he was a free intern, he has been recognized by Murphy to a considerable extent, and he has also offered him an offer. Four hundred dollars a week.

After the completion of the new project, some bonuses will also be distributed depending on the situation.

Paul Wilson's work enthusiasm is also higher. After all, ideals can be the driving force, but money is the basis of survival.

Murphy attaches so much importance to Paul Wilson, but also because he introduced several classmates to Stanton Studios for internships. When the crew was established, they could serve as free interns.

These are all good things.

"The crew is just the two of us now."

Standing in front of the door on Thirteenth Street in Santa Monica's Green District, Murphy hung the nameplate of Stanton's studio on the wrought iron door and said to Paul Wilson next to him, "You are also in charge of the crew now. One of the people who pays more attention to work.”

He has not graduated yet, he has a good salary, he can witness the establishment and development of a film company, and he can actually participate in film production to accumulate experience. Among the current USC Film School students, he is one of the few people who have actually participated in the production of films that can be officially released in theaters.

Compared to others, he is already one step ahead.

Looking at the director who is younger than himself, thinking that the other party can become a millionaire in his early twenties, and that a feature film will enter the theater, Paul Wilson's eyes are full of admiration, "Don't worry, boss, I He is also someone with some experience, so I can just leave the chores to me.”

He didn't think he could do any worse than Jessica Chastain's female intern.

Murphy patted his arm lightly, "We are partners in starting a business together, don't be so outspoken, call me Murphy."

Paul Wilson nodded vigorously, and it felt really good to be appreciated.

Obviously, Murphy is trying to win people over. The Stanton studio has just hit the road and needs some talent. He also wants to hire someone as capable and experienced as Carla Faith, but the reality doesn't allow it, so he can only find a way. Dig it yourself.

He glanced at the letter 'Stanton Film Studio' on the metal nameplate. Murphy pushed open the wrought iron door and walked into the small building. There were still more than a dozen desks in the empty living room. , at the desk closest to the entrance of the entrance, sitting a Latin woman in her thirties.

This is the front desk, cleaner, and telephone operator that Murphy has just hired.

"Hello, Mr. Stanton," she greeted Murphy.

Murphy nodded and asked, "Rosa, is anyone calling?"

The woman named Rosa immediately picked up a form and walked over, and handed it to Murphy, with the contact information and basic information of the two people on it.

"These two people want to apply for the company's finance," she said. "I have an appointment tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Murphy looked at it and returned the form to her. Rosa Rodriguez went back to the desk and sat back on the chair heavily. The chair creaked and seemed to fall apart at any time.

Paul Wilson on the other side couldn't bear to look at the poor chair, being crushed on it by a woman who was nearly six feet tall and weighed more than two hundred pounds. He really sympathized with the horrible chair.

He doubted that the chair would last a few days.

Murphy has gotten used to it these past few days, and instead of looking at the creaking chair, he turned and walked upstairs.

The most important reason why he can hire such a Latino is that the other party is willing to do three jobs with one salary. Of course, with her appearance, education and ability, she can hardly find a better job.

Back in the study, Murphy continued to revise the script, and when he was resting, he thought about the project plan.

Originally, after the first draft of the script was revised, he planned to find Jones-Butler to contact Miramax to see if the two parties could reach an early cooperation and reduce the pressure on Stanton Studios.

After careful consideration, he still chose to give up. Although he became a member of the Screenwriters Guild, he has already filed a script for the new project in the Screenwriters Guild, but Hollywood studios have always had no integrity, and the new project is also very simple, if it is imitated by others , he couldn't even cry.

With Miramax's strength, if the other party doesn't have integrity, I'm afraid he is still preparing, and they can complete the shooting.

Murphy never expects the Screenwriters Guild to file a record to solve the copyright or imitation problem. This is impossible. The North American copyright law is indeed complete, but there are endless films with similar mainline content, such as "Clash of the Earth" and Michael Bay's "The Armageddon," "The White House Has Fallen" and "Crisis", these simply cannot be explained by coincidence.

The new projects are far from being comparable to these films, but at least precautions are required. With his current fame and strength, there is basically nothing that Miramax can do.

Even if he finally goes to court, this kind of lawsuit drags on for a year or two, how can he suffer?

The Writers Guild filing is just an insurance, not a guarantee of copyright inviolability, and Murphy is not naive enough to think that the script has been filed with the Writers Guild and everything will be safe.

In terms of script, he will also disassemble the character script and scene script. Like other Hollywood crews, most people will not see the full version of the script.

There is also the shooting plan. According to the tradition of North America, autumn is the most suitable time for horror movies to be released. Every September, a large number of horror movies land in theaters, and countless horror movie fans will flock to them.

But nothing Murphy said would make the film appear in September.
