Chapter Twenty-Five: Hollywood, Hollywood
With the group's homework arranged, William White intends to continue his journey.
In this era, the choice of industries is very limited, and traditional industries are simply not possible, and in addition to Silicon Valley, Hollywood is also a good choice.
There are not only a few giants here, but also countless independent producers, some of which are directly affiliated with the giants, and some of which are co-op-distribution, and there are not many such companies, unless you have Lucas's level, and the film company has no temper.
In addition to these, I'm afraid it's a special action movie, this market is also very large, the United States is like this, what type of movie has an audience, as long as your movie is made well, art films and horror films are equally profitable.
William White obviously does not have these resources, and if he enters Hollywood, he must start small and slowly accumulate popularity and resources.
No one dares to worry about the Titanic as soon as they come up, you can't play this kind of big production at all, and it's impossible to have money.
Newcomers set foot in this field, it is very good to have a production fee of one or two million US dollars, and these are all talented people, so ordinary directors don't worry about it. Let's start with some commercials and documentaries, and you may have a chance after many years.
William White doesn't need to wait, there are more than two million on the account of his software company, and the next batch of money is coming again, and he doesn't care about two or three million funds.
Making movies has always been the dream of his young master, and for this matter, William White quarreled with his father many times, and finally he studied two majors at USC at the same time, which was also the result of a compromise between father and son.
The young master now says that he wants to make a movie, but it is only a small-budget movie, and Fu Bo will not stop it, at most he will lose a few million, and it may have hurt a month ago, but now he won't care too much.
The speed at which Wright software makes money is like a printing knife, and Fauberke is very aware that the cost of software is really very limited.
If you sell it for a while at this rate, those taxes will be fine, and there may be a lot of surplus.
Besides, the young master's movie may not lose money, even if it loses some money, it is not a big deal, and some of it will be taken back.
Movies can be made in Hollywood, but companies can't be registered in Hollywood, and there are several tax-free states in the United States, so of course it's better to hide.
But he doesn't have to take care of these things, the lawyer will help him take care of everything, and just like that, everything is ready to test the waters of Hollywood.
There are so many such companies in Hollywood that no one pays attention to them, and every day such companies are founded, and every day there are such companies that go out of business.
"Jason, I'm going to Los Angeles in two days. ”
"Boss, you're going back to school. ”
"No, I'm going to take a break from school, and I'm going to Los Angeles to make a movie. ”
"Boss, are you really fake, are you still short of male pig's feet, I'm quite suitable, at most, I don't get paid. ”
"At most, love to do it or not, two lines. ”
"It's my dream, why not. ”
"You're a director, is it interesting to be an actor? ”
"No one wants a little director, I will shoot commercials first in the future. ”
"Whatever you want, I'll get in touch when you arrive. ”
"Okay, come back soon!"
"Hmm"
Jason Gao, who was in his previous life, later opened an advertising agency, and it seems that no one really asked him to make a movie.
It's hard for Chinese directors to mix in the United States, unless you grew up in the United States, I really don't understand what their cool points are, although Lao Mei's laughter is relatively low, but there are too many sources of these stalks, you didn't grow up locally, so it's normal to not know.
Talk shows and sitcoms are like this, Lao Mei is very hilarious to watch, but the crooked nuts are unknown, just watching a group of fools go crazy.
The mansion in Beverly is only rented, and now William doesn't have a spare sword, so it's still very important to be careful.
The sky here is always so blue, it makes people feel very good, it's not how good the air is, it's also smog here, it rarely rains in Los Angeles, and the sky is clear almost every day.
It's a nice day, which is standard nonsense in Los Angeles, and if you greet people like that, you'll be despised.
Film companies are clustered here, and the weather is also the main reason, what are you going to do in London? It is estimated that I can only rest in half a year. The things that were photographed were mostly gray.
Hollywood's on-set system is still very good so far, and the commercialization is very sufficient, and it seems that anyone with any capital can enter.
You have to just look at the surface, it all seems to be very beautiful, people with dreams will always succeed, as long as you work hard will always be recognized.
In fact, this is not the case, the monopoly here is ubiquitous, it is easy for foreign capital to come in, and it is a fool's dream to want to get out of it.
As in the financial sector, there is also a focus on inheritance, and the Jewish consortium controls the whole of Hollywood, and if you want not to be targeted, it is better to choose cooperation.
William White didn't want to be with them, but he didn't want to be hostile to them, so being low-key and introverted became the only option.
"Fauber, let people take it to the Screenwriters Guild for the record, and we will start recruiting. ”
"Okay, young master. ”
In this way, William White began to build his grass stage team, similar to this kind of stupid and bold dog, there are too many Hollywood to attract any attention at all.
There are dozens of such movies every year, and many of them can't be released at all, and the money invested is naturally lost.
It would be wrong to say that no one paid attention to it at all, as soon as his script was recorded, it immediately attracted the attention of the Writers Guild.
People who are engaged in screenwriting are usually young people, and their reading ability is naturally not lacking, if you haven't watched Forrest Gump's biography, you are obviously not suitable for screenwriting.
The book is adapted into a movie, which hardly requires much change, and the control of the text is very strong, even if some people don't think so, it is not too much of a problem to refer to it.
It is rumored that a film company plans to invest millions to buy adaptation rights, although I don't know if it's true or not, but this news is shocking enough.
Now millions of dollars, the purchasing power is leveraged, and the luxury villa rented by William White is only about one million.
It's hard to say how much the film company will bid, and William White's refusal is indeed well known to the world, but what is the script that is placed here today?
What the hell is this White Pictures?
I've never heard of such a telecommunications company.
The two guys who came to file were obviously not William White himself, and looking at their oily and slippery appearance, nine out of ten were some kind of lawyers.
Sesame mung bean big film companies, where they have the money to hire any legal consultants, when they sign a contract, they usually hire a lawyer temporarily, which is often the cheapest one.
What's the situation now, it's just a simple filing, just send your assistant and secretary, it's completely unnecessary to find a lawyer!
This William White may really be the writer, no wonder he doesn't sell the adaptation rights, and he plans to get involved in the film industry.
