After officially joining the union, Murphy's main energy was shifted to the preparation of the new film, and the script had to be further revised, especially according to the amount of money he could actually invest, just like the last time, he could not have spent all the more than 900,000 dollars in his hands on this project.

The Stanton studio needs money to run, and although there are no employees at the moment, at least a telephone operator and cleaner will be hired in the future, and if there is a suitable person, there will also be a financial staff, all of which will require money.

And a series of expenses added after the completion of the production of "Hard Fruit Candy", I also told Sù Murphy that all the funds were smashed on the production of a movie, which was extremely stupid, not to mention anything else, he also needed money to maintain a normal life.

He had a peculiar experience, but he was not the kind of saint who didn't need gasoline to eat or drink and drive.

Murphy plans to invest between $800,000 and $900,000, with the final amount depending on the situation.

He can't afford to make a plasma horror movie with 300,000 dollars, and the money is still enough to be confident, after all, the dollar is constantly depreciating, and the difference between the years before and after is that the purchasing power of the dollar is very different.

With the start of the North American college year, Paul Wilson returned to Stanton Studios from spring break, and unlike the last time he was a free intern, he had already been recognized by Murphy and offered him a $400 weekly salary.

After the completion of the new project, some bonuses will also be issued depending on the situation.

Paul Wilson's enthusiasm for work is also higher, after all, ideals can be the driving force, and money is the basis of survival.

Murphy valued Paul Wilson so much, and because of one thing, he introduced several classmates to Stanton Studios for internships, and when the crew was formed, they could be used as free interns.

These are all good things.

"The crew is just the two of us now."

Standing in front of the door of the 13th Street in Santa Monica's Green District, Murphy hung the nameplate of Stanton Studios on the wrought iron door and said to Paul Wilson next to him, "You're also one of the crew leaders now, and you pay a lot of attention to your work. ”

Paul Wilson is not dissatisfied with not yet graduating, having a good salary to pay, witnessing the creation and development of a film company, and actually participating in film production and accumulating experience, and even considers himself a lucky person, among the same class of USC film school students, he is one of the few people who have actually participated in the production of a film that can be officially released in theaters.

Compared to others, he is already one step ahead.

Looking at the director next to him who is younger than himself, thinking that the other party can become a millionaire in his early twenties, and there are feature films entering the theater, Paul Wilson's eyes are full of admiration, "Don't worry, boss, I am also a person with some experience, and I will leave those chores to me." ”

He didn't think he was going to do any worse than Jessica Chastain's female intern.

Murphy patted his arm gently, "We are partners in entrepreneurship together, don't be so outside, call me Murphy." ”

Paul Wilson nodded vigorously, it was a really good feeling to be appreciated.

Obviously, Murphy is just trying to win people's hearts, Stanton Studios is just on the road, needs some talent, and he also wants to hire someone as capable and experienced as Carla Fez, but the reality does not allow it, so he has to find a way to dig it himself.

Glancing at the line of 'Stanton Film Studios' on the metal nameplate, Murphy pushed open the wrought iron door and entered the small building, where there were still a dozen desks in the empty living room, and unlike before, in front of a desk closest to the entrance door, sat a Latin woman in her thirties.

This is the front desk janitor and telephone operator that Murphy has just hired.

"Hello, Mr. Stanton." She said hello to Murphy.

Murphy nodded and asked, "Rosa, did anyone call?" ”

The woman named Rosa immediately picked up a form and handed it to Murphy, with the contact information and basic information of two people on it.

"These two people want to apply for the company's finances." "I have an appointment for tomorrow morning," she said. ”

"Hmm." Murphy looked at it and handed her back the form, and Rosa Rodriguez returned to her desk and sat back down in her chair, which creaked and seemed to fall apart at any moment.

Paul Wilson on the other side couldn't bear to look at the poor chair, pressed against it by a woman who was nearly six feet tall and weighed more than two hundred pounds, and he really felt very sympathetic to the miserable chair.

He was skeptical that the chair would last a few days.

Murphy had gotten used to it these days, and instead of looking at the creaky chairs, he turned and walked upstairs.

The most important reason why he can hire such a Latino is that the other party is willing to take one salary to do three jobs, of course, with her looks, education and ability, she basically can't find a better job.

Back in the study, Murphy continued to revise the script, and when he had a break, he thought about the project plan.

Originally, after the first draft of the script was revised, he planned to contact Jones Butler to contact Miramax to see if the two sides could reach a preliminary cooperation to reduce the pressure on Stanton's side.

After careful consideration, he still chose to give up, although after he became a member of the screenwriters' union, he had already filed the script for the new project in the screenwriters' union, but Hollywood studios have always had no discipline, and the new project is also very simple, if he is imitated, he can't cry.

With Miramax's strength, if the other party is not disciplined, I'm afraid he is still preparing on his side, and they will be able to complete the shooting.

Murphy never expected the Writers Guild to file to solve copyright or parody issues, and this is impossible, North American copyright law is indeed complete, but there are endless films with similar main content, such as "Heaven and Earth" and Michael Bay's "The End of the World", "The White House Has Fallen" and "Shocking Crisis", which cannot be explained by coincidence.

The new project is far from being comparable to these films, but the least precautions still need to be there, with his current fame and strength, what Miramax really does, he basically can't do it.

Even if he ends up in court, this kind of lawsuit drags on for a year or two, how can he bear it?

The Writers Guild filing is just an insurance, not a guarantee that copyright will not be violated, and Murphy will not be naïve enough to think that if the script is filed with the Writers Guild, everything will be worry-free.

In terms of scripts, he will also disassemble character scripts and scene scripts, and like other Hollywood crews, most people will not see the full version of the script.

There is also the shooting plan, according to the tradition of North America, the autumn file is the most suitable time period for horror films, and a large number of horror films land in theaters in September every year, and countless horror movie lovers will also flock to it.

But Murphy said he wouldn't let the film appear in September.
