The screen returned to darkness, Harvey Weinstein sat there but did not move, but turned his head to look at Jones Butler, and fully agreed with what she said, if the front of the film can be regarded as a first-class horror film, the final stunning ending sublimates the whole film, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super-first-class small production.

He turned his head again, and his eyes fell on Murphy, who was in control of the camera.

Think about the "Hard Candy" a few months ago, he is still a director who can only tell a single line, and even a single line of narrative is not very good, relying on sensitive themes to attract the audience, look at the present, all kinds of cross-montages are skillfully used, and the advantages of suspense films are almost perfectly integrated in the main plot, especially the final ending, which is simply amazing.

The film is not without its flaws, such as the inevitable roughness of low-budget films, but brilliant creativity and clever use of camera mask these.

The curtain in the pull-tab room was pulled open, and Harvey Weinstein couldn't sit still any longer, and without beckoning Jones Butler to introduce him, he strode towards Murphy.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

He walked over and offered to extend a hand to Murphy, who stepped forward and shook Harvey Weinstein's right hand hard, "Call me Murphy." ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded and said directly, "I want to talk to you." ”

Murphy couldn't get it.

Without referring to the assessments of Miramax's men, Harvey Weinstein beckoned to Jones Butler's side and took Murphy into a nearby reception room.

Jones Butler made Murphy a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and Harvey Weinstein looked at the guy in his early twenties but didn't rush to speak.

They didn't speak, and Murphy remained silent except to say thank you to Jones Butler.

Harvey Weinstein's head is always spinning at high speed, he has worked on countless films, and he has a certain ability to judge the possible market value of many films, which may not be accurate, but he rarely misses.

If a film wants to reflect the real market value, operation and marketing are the key, but he will not ignore the role of the film itself.

There is no doubt that this "Saw Horror" has sufficient selling points and is very valuable for operation.

Even, he was reminded of the company's "Scream" released a few years ago, which was just as amazing in the horror genre.

The only difference, Wes, the director of "Scream"? Craven is a master of the horror film scene, and the opposite is an obscure rookie director.

Harvey Weinstein's face was calm, these thoughts would definitely not show his face, and he was thinking about how to get the rights to the film at the least cost.

"It's a great horror movie." He leaned back on the couch and took the initiative to break the silence, "Murphy, your progress is very fast, are you interested in continuing to work with Miramax?" ”

Murphy looked pleasantly surprised, "To be recognized by a professional like you, my entire crew will go crazy with joy." ”

He paused, swallowing and foaming, "I would very, very much want to work with Miramax Films. ”

"Very well," a smile piled up on Harvey Weinstein's face, "I can give you a guarantee here, this film will definitely be in theaters, and it will be screened in no less than 500 theaters, and audiences all over North America will see this film and know you as a wonderful director." ”

"That's great!" Murphy laughed happily.

He had an excited smile on his face, but his heart was calm, and Harvey Weinstein was using his name as bait.

How many people who entered Hollywood didn't want to be famous? The big fat man who was sitting on the sofa knew this very well, he and Miramax didn't care about the name or anything, what he wanted most was profit.

Harvey Weinstein has been in contact with countless newcomers to Hollywood, and there are very few who can resist the temptation to become famous, not any to be exact, including Quentin Tarantino, who has become popular with him.

There are a lot of things to achieve fame and fortune in Hollywood, but there are not many people who are new to the industry, as long as the other party wants more in terms of fame, the profit will naturally have to compromise with Miramax.

Miramax is one of the industry's top independent film distributors, and Harvey Weinstein is sure they know that.

Seeing Murphy's excited expression, he also showed a hint of a smile, and the confidence of a successful person was unconsciously brought out.

"Murphy, give this film a price." He's in charge.

Of course, Murphy could understand what this meant, and he still had an excited smile on his face, but he said, "Miramax wants to buy out the rights to this film?" ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly, it is obvious that only by buying out can Miramax let go and maximize profits.

Embarking on this difficult film road is not only for the unfulfilled film dream on the other side of the Pacific, but also for a better life, and only this road he is most familiar with and most likely to succeed.

Miramax has an outstanding ability to run independent films, and what Harvey Weinstein says is possible, and Murphy believes that if he sells the rights to the film, he will make a name for himself in Hollywood, just like the director he once did.

From this point of view, it is not unacceptable to sell out the copyright, but the price of the outright is ......

How much does an independent film sell? Murphy wouldn't have had much of an extravagant hope, let alone expect a distribution company or someone like Harvey Weinstein to find out in conscience.

He thought for half a minute, then said slowly, "Three million dollars!" ”

If Mira Max is willing to offer such a price, Murphy is more than enough money for him to make more plans, really establish himself in Hollywood, and thus move forward step by step, and if he is lucky, he may become a coveted director like James Cameron or Steven Spielberg.

In the future, you can also fantasize about the Oscar statuette.

How many directors don't want to get the Best Director statuette? Maybe there were people who didn't want to, and Murphy asked himself if he was very, very eager to try what it was like to touch the little golden man.

In just a moment, countless things floated through his mind, future success, future fame and fortune, future status, and the future ability to stand in the film industry and look down......

In this business country, all of this requires money as a foundation.

Is there a precedent for buying out an independent small system for $30 million? Murphy hadn't heard of it, but he still said the number.

Maybe others will think he's crazy, but in Murphy's perception, this film is worth that amount.

Moreover, asking for a price and paying back on the spot is the most normal thing in negotiations.

Harvey Weinstein's back had left the couch, his eyes as bright as the sun outside, looking straight at Murphy. (To be continued.) )
