Lawrence was very pleased that Alice was able to take the initiative to make the request herself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he first moved to Winton Street a year ago, as a neighbor, Lawrence had already realized that Alice was far beyond her peers. Academic performance is only the most basic criterion, whether it is logical thinking ability, actual knowledge reserve or the ability to turn theory into practice, Alice's skills are enough to amaze any knowledgeable **** adult.

How much benefit the Wang family received under Alice's role, Lawrence did not know. But as Sissi's father, as one of the few readers who have already read some excerpts from "Jurassic Park", he absolutely knows what kind of power the script written by the other party can portray.

Although it does not lack connections in the literary circle, the film industry itself determines that it has the nature of gambling. The scale of the box office can be estimated, but it is still difficult to say what the results will be after all, otherwise there would not be so many loss-making movies. As a cultural industry, it is by no means a matter of how much money you invest, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

So, as a good investor, he habitually came to another gamble.

Alice, who can write a novel of such a high level as "Jurassic Park", if she can honestly write a script for him, the company's income will definitely remain stable. Excellent directors shoot excellent scripts, coupled with suitable actors and appropriate promotion, do not seek huge profits, and make money is nine out of ten.

The 25% box office share is indeed very exaggerated, but it means that ordinary screenwriters are asking for scripts, and now Alice intends to work with her. Taking this kind of matter as a condition of cooperation, according to the general type of enterprise, is actually equivalent to a kind of technology shareholding, but this technology is reflected in the ability to create scripts, rather than simply a patent for a certain product.

Since they are partners, the importance of emotional intelligence is also extremely important, and Lawrence is naturally very happy to see Alice asking himself about the specific details of the cooperation.

Smart people and smart people work together to achieve real success, so of course the relationship with each other must be handled well. Only when the other party is a stupid donkey with guilt in his heart, the capitalist is happy to use the means of unloading the mill to kill the donkey, after all, who calls him a stupid donkey?

"Everything is based on results. ”

"The investment cost of the first film is five million, and if you can make more than ten million at the box office, then you get a 25 percent dividend," Lawrence said. If it is less than 10 million, that is, less than double the cost, then there is only 10% of the dividend. Then, if I lose money, I'll just pay $50,000 in one lump sum, what do you think?"

Alice didn't answer immediately, and her eyes began to roll.

Therefore, the film industry is indeed an industry that is easy to make money, provided that the box office can really be accurately estimated.

The rate of return, which is a crucial data for people in the film industry, is the ratio of film investment to box office.

Alice didn't know if other reborn people would have any advantages, and her personal experience was that if it weren't for the infinitely powerful brain in this life, which could flood all the important, unimportant, critical, and trivial memories of her previous life, even if she was reborn a hundred times, she would be able to remember a ghost!

When did Jobs die that year?When did the entire iPhone series come out?Hokage's manga serialization start date, end date, anime serialization start date, and end date...... Sorry, I didn't pay attention to it, but let me Baidu it right away.

Who is born in the world and grows old all day long to remember some messy "historical events"!

Even if you remember...... What about practical action?

Everyone knows the market value of Penguin, can anyone go back to the past and be a pony? Everyone knows that "The Grudge" is a classic, and everyone can recruit a gourd to play the role of Shimizu Chong? Everyone knows that "Naruto" will be a big hit, but who can remember what every page of the original manga looks like, and how well it is drawn like Kishimoto Saishi?

Rebirth is not an advantage, being able to remember every detail of history-related events, and then being able to turn this information into action, coupled with practical professional skills, is the real advantage. Otherwise, he can only be a folk prophet emperor.

If Alice didn't have the brain she has now, even if she was reborn a hundred times, she would have another fart!

Therefore, it is precisely with today's brain, rather than the simple rebirth advantage, that Alice can remember the rate of return of various movies clearly, even down to every specific number.

If you make a leaderboard......

Well, yes, the number one profiteering film of all time, the "well-known" "Blair the Witch" has been replaced in 2009. Although "Ghost Shadow" is suspected of plagiarizing the former, innovation is also essential for its success.

Using a home video as a clue, the film quietly tells a story about the unknown and the true.

Mick, a stock trader, and his girlfriend Katie move to a new house, and an excited Mick brings in a video camera to track and film the two of them sitting up. However, their excitement was soon replaced by an inexplicable unease. Apart from them, there seems to be other life hiding in this house. At two or three o'clock in the morning, the camera in the corner of the bedroom recorded those supernatural events. Katie can't stand the urge to move away, but Mick wants to make a movie about the event. But when he really wanted to leave, it was too late......

That's how its super high box office returns are derived.

Control costs. The whole film was shot with home DV, no big names, no exterior scenes, and minimalist interior furnishings...... In the end, the production cost was controlled at $11,000, although it was not the lowest in history, but it would also make people's jaws drop. The ultra-low cost has laid a solid foundation for the ultra-high box office return.

Style updated. The film is shot in the first person, with no music, no sound effects, and those wobbly shooting techniques, coupled with the mysterious plot, make the audience feel like they are in the movie, experiencing everything with the protagonist, and quietly waiting for the unthinkable to happen. Although there is not a single ghost in sight from beginning to end, the dark gray images, the hollow doors, the changing sleeping positions on the bed, the shadows that drift by, the eerie footprints, the slippery sheets, etc., all create a very real sense of presence, which makes people shudder in the silence of the environment.

Creativity wins. The idea for DV and documentary-style films did come from "Blair the Witch", but because the former lacked a theme and a core, the whole film was looking for something that didn't exist from beginning to end, so it was difficult to impress. However, the theme of "Ghost Record" is set as "real" - human fear of the unknown world has a unique beauty because of its unique perspective, which has been recognized by many fans.

"25% of the box office revenue of the pure script component, if we also inject funds into the film, this part will be distributed according to the due proportion. So Mr. Lawrence, what if we paid for the production of the film?"

Lawrence laughed, "Haha, of course everything is done according to the rules of the trade." If you can really make the production cost of the movie all self-funded, then there is nothing wrong with the company only charging the other part of the fee, which is equivalent to making money for nothing!"

"However, actor recruitment, director selection, and everything else that you need to handle as a producer, Alice, you don't seem to be able to do it, right?"

"Hehe~ So what's that?"

Alice tried her best not to show a smug smile, but she couldn't help it: "I fully funded the filming costs, and then personally served as the director and screenwriter, as for other related matters, I will leave it to the company to deal with, especially the publicity and distribution fees, this must not be paid by our family, right?"

"Ah...... I know. ”

Lawrence looked around, if everyone was a little confused a second ago, but when they heard that Alice herself was going to be a director, they all understood.

It's nothing more than that the little girl wants to throw some money casually, shoot things and play, and have a director's addiction.

"Okay, no problem!"

Lawrence laughed and agreed: "But you have to shoot it out and show me first, the equipment can be rented to you, if you can pass the customs, we will talk about the specific matters later, but the distribution fee must be all covered!"

Well, yes, the equipment can be rented, but the other costs are paid by yourself. If the filming is good, of course, it will be promoted, but if the filming is not good, of course, it is just that the little girl is addicted to being a director.

"I'm sure you'll be satisfied. ”

In this way, Alice smiled proudly: "Alice's product must be a high-quality product!"

"Ghost Record", compared to the public attention of "Blair the Witch" that relied on Internet rumors, this movie really uses real skills to achieve huge profits. She is confident that with the people's receptivity to horror films in the 80s, this movie will definitely reach the same heights as "The Grudge"!

The shooting cost is really only more than 10,000 yuan!

However, the manufacturer's publicity fee has paid 10 million ......
