After visiting the film company of the movie house theater, Arthur looked indifferent, he had no previous expectations, and his heart was sad and depressed.

Well, what a terrible word!

It is really not an exaggeration to say that it is in dire straits.

Can you imagine the 613 films released in the UK between 2003 and 2010 so far, and only seven percent of those films are profitable? And in films that cost up to 10 million pounds, no more than a fifth make a profit.

The output of 7 years is not even comparable to the number of movies shot in a year by the Celestial Empire.

What's even more sad is that a Harry Potter series has almost all the registered actors in the UK to participate, cough cough, this is not a compliment, but that actors all over the UK are relying on the Harry Potter series of movies to eat...

How pitiful this is meowing!

You must know that the last two parts of the Harry Potter series have started filming, which means that after filming, many people will lose their jobs.

And at least half of the people in his film company went to participate in the filming of the Harry Potter series of films, so Arthur would see that there were only a dozen people left.

What else can the hell hope for this?

Arthur thought that before he came, he was still thinking about carrying a few future Hollywood movies to make money, but now it seems that he is completely blind to himself.

is not only short of money, but also lack of talent, and more seriously, even if it is filmed, as long as it is not abroad, it will not be able to make money if it is released in North America, because the local audience not only does not recognize British films, but the market is still very narrow, and it is completely the backyard of Hollywood movies.

Therefore, making a movie in the UK is not only promising, but also dark!

"Boss, in the UK, the traditional practice of filmmakers is to get money from the British Film Association Fund and the BBC Film Public Fund, and the scale of the British Film Association Fund of 15 million pounds and the BBC Film Public Fund of 11 million pounds is a bit pitiful compared to Hollywood's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In addition to the funding investment, British cinema also faces huge challenges in terms of talent. Rebecca, the head of the film company and a famous British producer after all, noticed the disappointment of Arthur Boleyn, a young aristocratic rich man who had just become her boss, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Seriously, I am pessimistic about the future of British independent LI films."

The production of independent films in the UK has been declining in recent years, and while the government's policy of attracting domestic investment has been good for the British film industry, the more stable employment created by large-scale investment has caused problems for independent films.

Now, when we want to make a solo film, we often struggle to recruit the relevant cast and crew, because almost everyone has found a job on the Harry Potter crew, and the contract period is often as long as 9 months. All this makes it more and more difficult to shoot British films.

So, we can only wait helplessly now, even if there is a shooting project, and no one can start it. ”

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the situation would be so difficult, after listening to you, I was really disappointed, you know, I was thinking about seeing if I could write a story I thought of, write a script, make a movie... ”

Arthur shook his head with a helpless wry smile and continued: "Now it seems that I am thinking too much. ”

Hearing the words of the young boss, Rebecca, the head of the film company, looked at the theater CEO Binns on the side, glanced at each other, and said with some expectation: "Boss, if the story is exciting, you are willing to invest in it, and there is no problem in forming a crew... ”

Arthur looked at Rebecca who looked at him with some tears and laughter, and looked at him with some excitement, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "The story is a good story, I can also invest some money, can you guarantee that you can make money when you shoot it?"

"Ahem... As a middle-aged woman, Rebecca blushed by the young boss's rhetorical question, very embarrassed, she is also poor and crazy, when she hears that she is wronged, she is still the new boss of her own company, and she is a billionaire who is not bad for money, and she also wants to make a movie, so she naturally pits down the project first.

Looking at Rebecca's embarrassed appearance, Binns on the side also shook his head and smiled bitterly to alleviate the embarrassing situation, "Boss, if you can, you can write the script, and then give it to Rebecca to see if you can let her pull a part of the investment, maybe you can run it." “

"Hehe, to be honest, seeing the current situation of British films, I really lost the idea of investing, but since it is your own film company, you also have some heart, it is still worth encouraging, so let's do it, I think the story is a horror story of a secret room, a disaster, and a monster, which is related to a nightmare I had.

I believe that this kind of thriller movie doesn't cost much, and it's okay to operate at a small cost, I'll give you five million pounds, my only request is that all people are from the UK, I want a local British movie, can I do it?"

Arthur looked at Rebecca, who was disappointed and a little stupid, and he couldn't bear it, it was really sad that British movies were mixed to such a point, but it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of this group of filmmakers, he still decided to use Hollywood scripts and small cost investment to test the water.

As long as the movie is not too bad, I believe that the routine of monster thrillers can still recover the cost, and the more difficult it is, the more in the desert, the more shining the achievements will be, maybe, a big hit, let his film company become popular and become a benchmark for British films.

"Really? Boss—" Rebecca, who had already lost all hope, looked at the young boss with wide eyes, and confirmed with excited surprise.

"Hehe, really, I gave you the opportunity, it's up to you whether you can grasp it, I'm still very sure of this story, I used to think about writing it out and voting for Hollywood studios.

Also, whether you can continue to shoot or not depends on the money you make from this film, I'm here... As he spoke, Arthur stretched out his finger and pointed to his head and continued to smile: "There are many good stories, you know, I still have the aura of a writer on my head." ”

"Please rest assured, boss, we will do our best, and we will definitely not mess up!" Although Rebecca knows that there are many factors to consider in order for a movie to make money, she can't care so much now, so let's fool the money first, and then say, the people and machines in the film company are idle and rusty.
