In the seventh week of the release of "Killer Tragedy", although the popularity still continued, because there were only more than 300 screens left, the box office of this week plummeted.

In the first few days of the week, the average daily box office was around 1.8 million, and the box office for the whole weekend also reached 6 million.

With a box office of 15 million, it still beat "Die Hard 2", which has sunset, and won the runner-up in this week's box office list, and the champion is "Dances with Wolves".

Although everyone is denouncing the monopoly of several giants, after all, "Dances with Wolves" is a very good movie, and it is still the most popular western theme among audiences.

After the full release of the game, "Dances with Wolves" broke through the box office of 30 million for the first time and became the champion of this week, and the word of mouth gradually picked up.

For such a result, Tang Feng has long been mentally prepared.

In this era of relatively poor entertainment, it is not uncommon for audiences to line up to buy tickets to watch movies while denouncing the studio.

What else could they do?

If you don't go to see their movies because you have an opinion about the studio, that's impossible.

Not to mention classic movies like "Dances with Wolves", even if it is a film of a poor standard, they have to pinch their noses to watch it, because they have no choice.

Under such circumstances, "Killer Tragedy" can still reach a box office of 15 million, which has made Tang Feng very satisfied.

What is there to be dissatisfied with a movie that is already going to be released can continue to be screened for at least a month, and it brings him $5 million a week?

Maybe it's because he has experienced ups and downs, but his mentality has become very calm, so he doesn't care much about the box office of "Killer Tragedy" anymore.

He has done everything he can, he has gained a lot of what he deserves, he has created a miracle, and no matter how much it is, it is just the icing on the cake.

But the preparation of "Little Sunshine Beauty" made him put a lot of effort into it.

On Wednesday afternoon, all the people from several companies arrived, and a large crowd of people came to Hulala, almost filling his small company.

Fortunately, they have a studio that is not small, and it is always idle, otherwise there is really no place for so many people plus some luggage and equipment.

Tang Feng immediately made a decision to let Quentin temporarily stop the preparation of "Deadly Romance", whether it was the contracted employees of Hurricane Pictures or the cast and crew of celebrities, all joined the crew of "Little Sunshine Beauty".

He spent a huge amount of tuition and invited a group of foreign monks who could recite scriptures, and it would be a great loss if he didn't take this opportunity to train his team well.

As a result, it is interesting to see that almost everyone from the staff of New Line and Imagination Entertainment has become teachers, and their students are the people of Hurricanes and celebrities.

Brian, as the chief producer, brought five assistants alone, Wilton, Cooper, William and Anne all became his assistants, and even Charlie, who was still in school, came to ask for a place.

Wilton and Cooper are the producers that Tang Feng focuses on cultivating, while William and Anne are a bit gilded, and as the CEOs of the two companies, it is indeed a bit unreasonable if they don't understand filmmaking.

And Charlie's dream is to be a producer, so he will not give up this great opportunity, not to mention that what a freshman can learn is too limited, and it is much worse than someone to teach him by hand.

Taking five people at a time is already Brian's limit, and he complained a lot about this, saying that if he knew that he was teaching a group of novices, he would never agree to Tang Feng.

At first, the people of the two companies were still a little dissatisfied, but soon they happily entered the role, and some of them shook their heads and taught their students before the welcome banquet was over.

There is no way, the super high remuneration given by Tang Feng is too attractive to them.

And the people who can be signed by Tang Feng, even if their current ability is not good, they are all people with movie dreams.

With this good opportunity falling from the sky, how can you not grasp it?

So after quickly recognizing the teacher, they all expressed enough respect for their respective masters, and circled around them like chickens, coaxing them almost to the point of being happy.

Seeing that they were getting along very well, Tang Feng's face showed a relieved smile, and he thought: "It seems that my huge sum of tens of millions of dollars is really not in vain!" ”

"I don't want them to learn any essence, at least they can learn a rough idea, and when they make movies in the future, they don't have to worry too much."

"When the film was finished, it was time for Quentin to assemble his crew, and it was time to put their learnings to the test."

"I hope they can all take advantage of this precious opportunity and grow up as soon as possible!"

......

Early Thursday morning, preparations began in earnest.

Brian called everyone for a meeting, handed out a stack of forms that he had made overnight, and then explained seriously: "Everyone, I'm Brian of Imagination Entertainment. ”

"I heard from Sean yesterday that you have all signed a contract and want to grow in this industry for a long time."

"Then, even if you don't work as a producer, you need to know the basic process of making a film well, which will be very helpful for your future development."

"These are the tables I made overnight, let's take a look at them first, make a brief understanding, and I'll explain them one by one later."

Everyone agreed with what he said, and immediately after taking the form, they looked at it carefully, and asked some questions from time to time.

After waiting for a while, Brian picked up a form and said, "This one is the list of crew members, as a regular crew, there should be a clear position on everyone's responsibilities." ”

"So, let's start confirming the responsibilities of the crew members as required above."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tang Feng, "Sean, in addition to the director, you also have to be the producer of this film." ”

"Because this movie is the script you wrote, and you organized and invested in the shooting, it is your responsibility to control the film as a whole."

Tang Feng nodded, "No problem, I am the producer of "Killer Tragedy", and I still have some experience." ”

Brian nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Michael, "Michael, you're the executive producer, right?" ”

"After that, the things on the set will be handed over to you, and you have read the script, and we will study it later and make a specific shooting schedule and the approximate budget required."

"William, you will be the production director of this film, after all, you are most familiar with this place, and you need to coordinate when you encounter some unexpected things."

"Wilton, you will be Michael's production assistant, helping him deal with some specific things, such as the accommodation of the staff, the advance contact of the filming location, the provision and management of equipment, and other things that need to be dealt with."

"Annie, you will be my assistant, and you will be brought with me when I negotiate with the actors, and during the usual filming, you will be responsible for supervising the progress of the filming and making corresponding announcements in advance."

"I heard Sean say that you are very good at handling paperwork and interpersonal relationships, so preparing the legal documents that need to be submitted, dealing with various associations, and obtaining various corresponding licenses will be left to you at the same time."

After explaining Anne's task, Brian smiled and looked at Charlie, who was eager to try, and said to him: "You just follow me, if there is anything, I will explain it to you." ”

......

Brian was like a general who gave orders, spending the whole morning arranging all kinds of things.

After his explanation and arrangement, the preparatory work, which was originally not eyebrow-raised, gradually had a clear outline.

Don't look at Tang Feng, they have already tossed out a movie, but after really understanding the formal Hollywood-style production method, they know how big the gap is at the beginning.

Through his explanation, Tang Feng also realized the essential difference between independent films and Hollywood blockbusters.

Any Hollywood-made film has a complete production system, and it will never be shot wherever it comes to mind like an independent film.

Although it looks a little rigid, it makes it clear at a glance that everything seems to be in order during the filming of the movie, when it comes to what to do.

And these are the purposes for Tang Feng to spend a lot of money to invite them, and what his grass platform team lacks is this formal management model!

After arranging the details, everyone started to get busy that afternoon.

This improvised team, with a leader like Brian, has exerted extremely high efficiency after only a simple run-in.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, it took less than a week to make all the preparations.
