The Best Entertainment Era

　　 If a director has directed a film with a public cost of 11 million U.S. dollars and a North American box office of more than 50 million U.S. dollars, and then directed the same type of film, what is the normal salary?

　　In this era, at least US$3 million started, even involving later revenue sharing.

　　 Ronan took advantage of James Huang's situation at the time and signed two film contracts with him. Based on the situation at that time, the director's salary of 300,000 US dollars was very suitable for James Huang, but after the success of "Human Elimination Project", everything changed.

　　 Success and failure are the heaven and **** of the business circle.

　　 So, when Edward approached Ronan, Ronan added a $300,000 North American box office bonus to the $300,000 salary.

　　 As for Edward finding Ronan to ask for a salary increase for James Huang, it doesn't really matter whether it is the agent's duty or James Huang's instruction.

　　 No one wants to get a salary that does not meet their worth.

　　 Ronan did not expect to film the sequels of "Human Elimination Project" and "Reaper Is Coming" again, and he would be able to reduce James Huang's salary to such an incredible level.

　　 If you can still cooperate, soaring salary is inevitable.

　　 James Wong gave such a promise, and Ronan was basically satisfied.

　　 Ronan talked with James Huang about the upcoming filming, then went to the producer's office and patiently checked the recent progress of the crew.

　　 Through the experience of watching the various work of the crew, you can also make a preliminary judgment on the ability of the performer. People with poor ability will naturally not cooperate again.

　　 Location manager Bryan left a deep impression on him.

Most of the location shooting of the crew was selected in some small towns in Southern California. The cost of the venue was extremely low, and even more than a dozen private venues that could be used for free shooting were contacted. The most expensive was Los Angeles International. Rental fees at the airport.

　　 The total rental fee for the location shooting location will not exceed US$200,000.

　　 For such a film with a large number of location scenes, it saved a lot of money.

　　 A position like location manager can save money while finding a suitable shooting location. It can be said that the ability is quite good.

　　 Ronan specifically wrote down Brian's name.

　　And Andrew.

Although he has never managed such a large crew before, Andrew has accumulated a wealth of management experience when he mixed on the video film set. In addition to his easygoing personality, he can effectively regulate the internal contradictions of the crew and eliminate Ronan and director James Huang. Worries.

　　The crew is like this. Many small things seem inconspicuous, and once they break out, they may seriously affect normal operations.

　　 James Huang, Glenn Morgan, Bryan, Andrew, etc., these can all be regarded as talents.

　　 Ronan looked through the crew’s work diary and financial reports, and specifically recalled these people, namely James Huang’s Chinese name Huang Yiyu, who once left him with memories.

　　 The memory of Huang Yiyu is divided into two parts, one is the great success of the "Reaper is coming" series, and the other is the fiasco of the "Dragon Ball" movie.

　　 The latter is rotten to a certain level.

　　 Ronan roughly has a judgment, James Huang seems to be only suitable for shooting horror movies, shooting other types, especially action movies, does not seem very good.

　　As the boss of the film company, Ronan quickly made a decision to squeeze out James Huang’s value in horror films as much as possible.

　　 When Ronan left the crew, he met Green Morgan, the screenwriter of "Death is Coming".

　　 "Hi, Glenn." Ronan took the initiative to call him, "Have you not taken any other job recently?"

　　 After the script was finalized, Glenn Morgan completed the screenwriting contract with the crew.

　　 Glenn Morgan smiled politely, and said, "No, my mind is on this project now."

　　 Ronan walked out of the studio with him, and said as he walked, "I am very confident about the project "Death is Coming", and the chance of success is very high."

　　 "I hope so." Although Glenn Morgan is a playwright, he is obviously not as confident as Ronan.

　　 Ronan continued: "You and James are talented in the horror and thriller genre, you can trust." He didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Glen, do you want to continue working together?"

　　 Glenn Morgan gave Ronan a surprised look: "Aren't we working together?"

"It's not the "Reaper Is Here" project." Ronan waved his hand and said, "As a script doctor, you have modified the "Human Clear Project" script I wrote. You are familiar with this series. I would like to invite you to create a sequel. script."

　　 Glenn Morgan thought for a while, and said, "Yes, you can go talk to my agent. Also, it will take a while before I have time in the second half of the year."

　　 Ronan nodded: "No hurry, the sequel won't be approved until next year at the earliest."

　　 "Human Removal Project" has already had a successful start. As long as the setting and style of the subsequent sequels are not changed rashly, the problem of shooting and producing a profitable trilogy is not very big.

　　 Glenn Morgan has revised the script written by Ronan and undoubtedly has the ability to create a sequel script.

　　 The next day, Ronan went to talk to Glenn Morgan's agent. After Glenn Morgan greeted him, the two parties basically reached a cooperative intention.

　　 The screenwriter's pay is very cheap, Glen Morgan is not a well-known screenwriter, and the pay is only $50,000.

　　 Ronan didn't do much entanglement either, after all, he is also busy at this stage.

　　 Entered the studio where the "Ace Agent" crew was located and found the actor training venue. After watching the actor's movement training, Ronan felt that he had entered the World Expo.

　　 Arabs, Asians, Africans, Latinos, Eastern Europeans, traditional whites, etc., are simply available for all races.

　　 Director Paul Greengrass and production manager George Clint went to inspect the location, and the crew temporarily handed over the assistant producer to take charge of daily work.

　　 "This is Mr. Clint's suggestion." Standing next to Ronan, the fat associate producer explained: "He thinks the ideal audience for this film is a minority."

　　 Ronan nodded: "This idea is very correct."

　　 It seems that George has gradually learned some tricks.

　　 "Pay attention to the implementation of the concept of freedom and equality within the crew." Ronan warned: "Racial discrimination is absolutely not allowed in the crew."

　　 Like this kind of film where the main characters are mostly ethnic minorities, if the crew breaks out a scandal of racial discrimination, the damage is absolutely fatal. He specifically emphasized: "Regardless of anyone, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will be removed from the crew whenever it involves racial discrimination."

　　 Associate producer responded immediately.

Ronan added: "I will let people formulate targeted propaganda, and the crew will also appropriately contact media that tend to be ethnic minorities to visit the class, build a good relationship with them, and let the main actors accept more interviews from these media. ."

　　 I don’t want to pay too much for this film, but I still have to find a way on the minority audience.

　　 The British film in the previous life, many big-scenes action scenes, Ronan almost all canceled when he wrote the script, mainly because of financial problems.

　　The big special effects of the big scene must be big investment.

　　Perhaps, Paul Greengrass's unique style and the minority identity of the main actor can bring him some surprises.

Don’t be afraid of losing money. The Embassy Pictures does not have the ability to distribute overseas, and for the time being, Ronan will not be able to reach out to overseas. At that time, Ronan will present "Death Is Coming", "Ace Agent" and several previous video films of Shahai Entertainment. Overseas copyrights are packaged and sold.

　　 As long as "Reaper Is Coming" is a big success, there is no worry that the product package will not be sold.

Ronan watched the action training of the actors again, and could faintly perceive the style of Paul Greengrass in his previous life. The actions designed by the action guide are simple, sharp, and practical. They are not the fancy things after the Kung Fu hit Hollywood in this era. .

　　 This action style is matched with the shooting and editing of Paul Greengrass, which is very enjoyable.

　　 But, don't watch it in 3D, otherwise you will vomit.

　　 In mid-April, the filming of "Reaper Is Coming" started on time. After Ronan participated in the start-up press conference, he temporarily handed over the crew to Andrew, focusing on "Blair the Witch".

　　 Jessica Felton completed the re-editing of the film.
