Legendary Hollywood Producer

After finalizing the director, the preparations for the crew became very quick.

Just now, Roman and director Joe Det Durbar have finalized the protagonist in the film and some roles that are not too small, except for the Asian role, because Roman still has a little plan to do. This role. The starring salary has reached 100,000 U.S. dollars, and there are very few other people. This is also the norm. After all, they have no qualifications. Even the actor Wes Bentley has only participated in two movies and are supporting roles.

In the preparatory work of the film, Roman's father, Old Dolf, also did some work. For example, equipment rental for filming, indoor scene shooting has also signed an agreement with Warner Studios. Now that director Joe Det Durbar joins in, all the staff behind the scenes are also recruited, most of which are selected by director Joe Det Durbar. This is what director Joe meant. He wants to use acquaintances. And Roman doesn't have any opinion. This is just a small request, not too much, and it is satisfied if it is satisfied. After all, shooting a good movie is the main thing.

After the crew went to Warner Studios to start some preparations, Roman finally set off to go to the other side of the Pacific to make investments.

"Lami, you will go to the crew tomorrow as a producer to help me keep an eye on the crew's daily shooting."

"Okay, Mr. Dolph." Lamy was very happy. He didn't expect that he could also become a film producer.

"Mie, you must check with them for the funds of the crew, and it is best to go there and check it out."

"Don't worry, I will do it well, Mr. Dolph." Mie quickly made a promise.

"That's it, Mary, Hall, you come to the mainland with me and organize the information." Roman looked at the two of them, "Remember not to miss it. We have already agreed with China Film, and we will do it tomorrow. Going to go."

"Well, good" "Yes, Mr. Dolph." The two replied at the same time.

......

The next day, Roman pulled the suitcase and Mary, and Hall boarded the flight to the mainland.

Beijing, the headquarters of China Film Group. After knowing that there are Hollywood entertainment companies coming to the mainland to pull investment, their group immediately held a meeting to discuss. The result of the discussion is naturally to get in touch with this entertainment company from Hollywood. After all, they also want to enter Hollywood. There was nothing good before. Opportunity, now the opportunity is offered to the door voluntarily, of course you can't miss it, so they attach great importance to the reception this time.

After knowing that they are here to consider cooperating with China to shoot a film, they even prepared a film investment conference.

Roman pulled the suitcase and walked slowly out of the airport, and easily found someone outside to pick them up.

I saw two young people holding a banner with Roman’s name and their company’s name written in English. When they came back and forth, a man in his forties took the initiative and said: "Welcome to Mr. Roman-Dolf. To the capital." The young man next to him immediately translated it in English. Although Roman understands Chinese, he did not reveal the fact that he can speak Chinese. He also said in English "Thank you for your reception. I am Roman Doyle." husband."

"Hello, I am Han Ping, the deputy general manager of China Film, and you can tell me about your needs after coming to Beijing..."

Along the way, talking, a group of people checked into Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel.

After the jet lag, without waiting for Roman to want to go out and wander around the capital, Chairman Han came over again and discussed the next itinerary with him.

So, accompanied by Chairman Han, they first visited the headquarters of China Film and then took them to the Great Wall to play.

After a few days of preparation, on April 29, 2003, a four-day film investment conference was held at the Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel.

This morning, Huayi, Guangxi, Orange Sky and other companies all sent representatives to participate in this investment promotion conference. After all, Hollywood companies are coming to attract investment, and the news of co-production of the film has spread among them.

After the start of the China Merchants Conference, Roman kept answering the questions of those interested in investing, introducing the basic situation of Manhai Entertainment, and the return on investment of the movie "Small Town Zombie". These are the main people in the hall. Want to understand.

Although the information about the movie has long been sent to everyone participating in the conference, they still have to listen to Roman’s answer. After all, no one’s money comes in a strong wind. Although they want to participate, they don’t want to get involved. People are treated as fools, what should they do if they are deceived, and how to get back from a foreign country, so they are also very scrupulous.

"Mr. Roman, you are about to raise 8 million yuan for this movie, right?"

Roman looked at the person asking the question, who seemed to be the vice president of the light. "Yes, our budget for this film is about 10 million, but I only plan to raise 8 million." Although Roman said so, but in fact it can't cost so much. After all, he has read the financial budget report a long time ago, even if it exceeds At one point, it is worth about 5 million US dollars, which is far less than what he said. However, in this era, the operating space of Hollywood movies is quite large, so Roman wanted to raise 8 million. Anyway, he made up his mind. To lead those who invest in his films to make money, this is just charging a little interest in advance.

"So, how do you accept investment?" Guangguang's vice president asked again.

"The minimum investment is 500,000 U.S. dollars." Just as Roman wanted to continue, he was interrupted by a person next to him. "So, can I invest 3 million?" It seemed to be from Emperor Entertainment.

"No, we only accept up to 2 million." Roman said with a smile. Even China Film, who was in charge of receiving them, only invested 2 million yuan. How could Roman let other companies overtake China Film? You must know that the information he came to the mainland this time was very complete, and it was completely worthy of research. After all, his crew has already started filming, and some procedures have been noted in various unions, and he even spent money to buy some newspapers for publicity. However, because the film has just been filmed, there is no need to spend a lot of money for publicity, so it did not cause anything. discuss.

"Then after we invested, is the rate of return as stated in the intent document?" Guangguang's vice president asked again.

"Yes, the box office profit of a movie is linked to the investment ratio, and no matter how much the box office is, the share will not change. These can be written into the contract."

After hearing this, Vice President Guang Guang thought for a while, and then left.

After a while, the vice president of Guangxi found Roman again, "I invested 2 million."

"Okay, please sign a contract with my assistant Hall."

After dismissing these people in front of him, Roman heaved a sigh of relief. These people were so enthusiastic. In just one afternoon, he finalized a fund of more than 7 million yuan. Together with the two million yuan from China Film, he has already raised it. The amount of 9.4 million. In addition, people from some companies are discussing investment matters, and it is estimated that they can be completed today.
