Ask for favorites and recommendations again, haha!
-----------------------------------------------------
Watching Robert leave alone, Tang Feng's heart was very uncomfortable.
But he didn't stop Robert, he knew that it would be futile, and that New Yorkers were like that, and if they didn't like it, they would simply go.
will not be like the Chinese people, even if they are annoyed, they will not leave at this time.
They don't pay attention to face, and they don't have the so-called golden mean, maybe this is the freedom they understand.
Fortunately, his departure did not affect everyone's mood, Bob pouted disdainfully at his back, and said, "This guy, I really can't see the situation clearly." ”
"Let's go!"
"Really, there is a great opportunity in front of him, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. ”
"When he has no money to keep going, he will know how wise we are, and I dare say he will regret it sooner or later. ”
How can I say that Robert also helped him, Tang Feng didn't want to listen to too much discussion, so he changed the topic, "Okay, now let's discuss, how to cooperate, right?"
Brian nodded and said, "Sean, didn't you just say that the new movie is about to start filming?"
"Why don't you tell me how you want us to cooperate with you? ”
Tang Feng pondered for a while, and then said eloquently: "Now everyone's CD is not in place, so joint investment is not realistic. ”
"And to be honest, I don't agree with that either. ”
"Like Bob said, none of the big five studios can guarantee that their films will make money, so I can't guarantee that. ”
"I've already applied for a bank loan, so I might as well let Hurricane Pictures fund the shooting. ”
"But on our own, it's not a problem to shoot well, but it's hard to get it right. ”
"I'd like to get your help in the production, for example, I need a good filmmaker, and I'd like to ask Brian to help me finish the film. ”
"Bob, you just bought an art studio?"
"Just lend them to me, just in time for my props studio to complete the art design and prop sets for the film. ”
After speaking, Tang Feng looked at Brian and asked for his opinion.
Brian replied simply: "No problem, as long as you set a shooting date, my art department and I will be on call!"
Thanking Brian, Tang turned his gaze to Chris again, "Chris, our new movie, is a road comedy. ”
"I want to make an animated beginning, so that the best ending is also an animation, and there is a MV for the theme song, so I'll leave that to you. ”
Chris pulled out a small notebook from his bosom, jotted down the main points, and said, "Give me a copy of the script, I don't think it's a big deal." ”
"But I'm not sure yet, what kind of way to do it, everything will have to wait until the crew members are determined, and then we can have a rough plan. ”
Tang Feng slapped his head, "I'm sorry, I came in a hurry and didn't bring a script." ”
"I'll give me your address later, and I'll mail you back when I get back to Los Angeles and register the copyright. ”
After solving the problem of animation production, Tang Feng asked Bob and Michael again: "For the main actors, I already have a certain plan. ”
"But we don't have experience dealing with professional actors, and I hope you can take people from my side and teach them how to negotiate terms with actors. ”
"Also, Brian can't be busy alone, so I hope you guys will also have a producer on the new line to help Brian handle everything. ”
Michael took the initiative to ask: "Leave this to me, I have been working as an executive producer, and I am very familiar with the process of location support." ”
Seeing that Michael took the initiative to take over the errand, Tang Feng's heart was very happy, so that he could start work in a short time.
With their help, the production standard of the whole film will be much higher than that of "Killer Tragedy", and it will also free Wilton to help Quentin build his crew.
After calculating the date, Tang Feng said: "We originally planned to start filming in two weeks, but now it seems that the time is very limited, so I hope everyone can get there as soon as possible." ”
"I'll take the plane back tomorrow morning, what about you, when are you going to go back to Los Angeles?"
Bob: "We don't have anything to do, we can go back at any time, so let's just go together." ”
Brian whispered to Howard for a while, and then said to Tang Feng, "With Howard in the company, I don't have to worry about the company's affairs, give me a day to prepare." ”
"I'll arrive at the latest with the art director and the members of the studio on a plane the morning after tomorrow. ”
The most important problem was solved in a few words, Tang Feng was suddenly in a good mood, and he also knew that he couldn't use these people in vain, and the benefits that should be given still had to be given.
So after thinking about it for a while, he cut the cake in everyone's expectant eyes, "I want you to help release it this time, so the normal distribution fee will be according to the model of "Killer Tragedy". ”
"Brian, as the chief producer, I will give you 2% of the box office share as payment, this is your personal one. ”
This kind of remuneration suddenly made Brian a little flattered, and he also thought about how much he would be paid as the chief producer.
But he thought that it would probably be 500,000 at the peak of the second line, and he also thought that it might be more than 1 million at the first line, but he didn't expect Tang Feng to let him directly participate in the box office share!
You must know that he and Howard can be regarded as moving their old books before, and they did their best to help the release of "Killer Tragedy", but they only got 4% of the box office share.
It is still counted in the company's accounts, and after deducting the business tax and the company's development fund, there is not much actually in hand.
In this era, unless it is a big name like Lucas and Spielberg, it is possible to get a box office share contract, which he never dared to think.
Such a big deal directly made Brian a little confused, "This, isn't this good?"
"Sean, don't do this, it's not in order!"
"I didn't participate in the investment, even if I was the chief producer, I shouldn't have taken so much. ”
Seeing that he waved his hand and wanted to excuse himself, Tang Feng said: "Don't excuse yourself, this time I will give you a share according to this ratio, because in addition to the movie, you have to help me bring a few newcomers." ”
"They don't understand anything, they will work for you, as long as you can bring them out, these are what you deserve!"
"As for the cost of the art studio, let's just go by the normal standard. ”
"Of course, in the same way, you have to help me teach our people, and you have to teach the people, and I won't give you money if you can't teach, haha. ”
As a joke and livening up the atmosphere, Tang Feng said to the two bosses of the new line, as well as Chris of Blue Sky Animation: "Bob, Michael, I also hope that you can draw some people." ”
"Professionals such as gaffers, assistant directors, and production directors joined our crew, helping me with the filming and teaching the newly recruited staff. ”
"As long as your personnel are in place, I will also give you an additional 2% of the box office share as compensation. ”
"Chris, the production cost of your Blue Sky Animation, let's discuss it after you read the script and set a specific plan. ”
......
For such an arrangement, Tang Feng has his own considerations.
Although money is important, there are many more things that are more important than making money.
If you want to run a good company, especially a technology-based film production company, you will never have a way out without your own team.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity of cooperation, Tang Feng would rather spend more money and let these professionals help him cultivate his own team.
The big names of other companies, he can't afford to invite them for the time being, and of course he can't move.
Although the team of New Line and Imagination Entertainment is not the best, at least they are professional enough.
Tang Feng felt that he only had to pay 4% of the box office share to make his people grow up as soon as possible, and it was still worth it to get closer to the relationship between the two companies as soon as possible.
"Little Sunshine Beauty" is not a big production, and the total cost will not exceed five million, if you don't take this opportunity to hone the newcomers under him, it will be too late when there is really a big production in the future.
Now in Tang Feng's heart, at least a dozen movies he wants to make have been prepared, and without a relatively mature team, it is impossible to make those classic movies in his mind!
