Chapter 305: A Series

"So be it, I'll go back first." After finalizing the matter and chatting a few more words, Sean immediately got up to take his leave.

He originally wanted to tell Vladimir what he was going to do, but considering that "Desperate Housewives" has not even started preparations now, even if he shoots a pilot episode, he will have to wait until June or July next year to contact major TV stations. Moreover, being optimistic about this TV series is already the bottom line that others can accept, and it is impossible for him to predict how many ratings he will get, and he can't remember the specific numbers.

In addition, Vladimir left from Bowei Pictures, and he has some contradictions with some people, so let's wait until next year, after the ratings of the TV series come out.

Just then the phone rang, and it was Vladimir's secretary calling: "Mr. Vladimir, Mr. Wen and Mr. Werner have arrived. ”

"Haode, I'll come right over," Vladimir responded, then standing up as well, "I'm just going to send you out." ”

"What is it?" Sean, who was walking in front, asked casually.

"What else, two small producers to pull in investment," Vladimir shrugged, "I don't know where I heard that we like to make horror and thriller films, and I came here several times to ask for support." ”

"Looks like we're already a bit famous?" Sean Daxiao said as he walked, "Have you read the script?" How does it feel? ”

"It looks okay, at least the story is complete, but there are too many loopholes." Vladimir shook his head.

"And you're going to meet with them for a detailed discussion?" Sean was a little weird.

"Someone paid me to be in charge of the company's operations, and of course I had to figure it out as much as I could." Vladimir said jokingly, and then his face straightened, "They are very sincere and persistent, so no matter what, I should meet with them to show respect, and maybe after discussion, the revised script is worth the investment." ”

He paused here before he added, "If nothing else, how about we go and see together?" Since you have such a good vision, you may be able to come up with some suitable suggestions. ”

"What's the name of their story?" Sean asked after a moment's thought.

"Called...... Saw. Vladimir recalled.

"Saws? How could there be such a name? Sean couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I don't know, probably because there is a saw in the story, and it's about a murderer who is jealous of other people's lives, so ......" Vladimir said the general content, but was interrupted by Sean before he could say a word.

"Okay, Todd, I'll leave this matter to you, I won't be involved." He waved his hand, as if he wanted to laugh again.

"Okay." Vladimir didn't insist either, and the two immediately parted at the end of the corridor.

Soon walked to the gate of the company, and was about to take the elevator downstairs, Sean suddenly patted his head, there was an important thing he forgot to tell Vladimir, so he immediately turned around and went straight to the conference room. The company's conference room is all-glass, so you can see Vladimir sitting at the top from a distance, and then two young people are dancing and talking to him, one of them is actually Asian.

Sean subconsciously frowned, carefully recalling Vladimir's words just now, feeling as if he had missed something? Thinking of this, he simply walked to the door of the conference room, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Anything else, Sean?" Vladimir got up and welcomed him in.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you something that didn't bother you, did I?" Sean said as he looked at the two young men.

The white man looked about 25 years old and was quite handsome, while the Asian man was in his early 20s, dry and thin, and a little weak.

Vladimir knowingly introduced him: "This is James? Wen, is this Thunder? Werner, they are all from Australia, very nice and thoughtful young people. James, Ray, this is the chairman of Reincarnation Pictures, Sean? Mr. Tang, his vision for picking scripts is unmatched, and he may touch the spark with you. ”

"I'd love to see you." Sean shook their hands.

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Tang." One says so.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably that Linus from Ocean's Eleven, right?" Another asked.

"Yes, I am the chairman of Samsara Pictures and a film actor." Sean replied with a smile.

The two young people suddenly took a breath together, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while, but their eyes lit up, obviously thinking that Sean is so young that it should be easier to speak.

"I've heard Todd tell you about your script," Sean said incomprehensibly, "I thought it was funny, and I didn't have anything else to do in the afternoon, and I forgot to tell Todd, so I stopped by and read it." ”

He spoke very seriously, and with a well-groomed expression, as if the words he had said to Vladimir were completely non-existent.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang, I am sure that your decision will not be wrong." That one is called James? Wen's Asian immediately screamed excitedly.

"Alright, let's talk about your script, gentlemen." Sean then made a gesture of please.

The two of them immediately began to talk one after the other, and although many things should have been talked about once, this did not neutralize their enthusiasm, and even spoke better. In addition, they also took out a booklet, on which many shots were drawn, with words and descriptions, but it was very tense, and it seemed that they had made a lot of preparations.

"Xiexie, two, xiexie, your commentary." After they had finished explaining the story, how Weishenme had this idea, how it fermented, how it came to be the story it is, and so on, Sean nodded, and then looked at Vladimir.

"What do you think, Todd?" He asked.

"In general, there are merits, but some loopholes still affect the logic of the story," Vladimir thought, "for example, if the nurse was poisoned, then he didn't go to the hospital for help, instead of kidnapping the doctor's wife and daughter as the murderer ordered?" After all, his person is free. ”

Surprisingly, the first to stand up and refute it was not the gentle Werner, but Sean, who should stand with him: "I don't think there is any need to worry about this, all movies have problems with logic, but the key is whether the audience has time to think about this when they watch it." ”

"That's right, as long as we can immerse the audience in the plot and direct their thoughts, they won't notice that." Werner seized the opportunity to echo.

Vladimir didn't speak, and only said after a while: "I remember, you had asked before that James would be the director, and Ray would be the leading role. ”

"Yes." The two young men looked at each other, then nodded a little awkwardly, but they didn't flinch.

"I wrote the script with Jamie, and he knows better than anyone how the story should go, and although this is his first time actually directing, I'm sure he'll give you a good story," Werner said in a determined tone, "As for me, playing the leading role is more about saving costs, and if you have more candidates, I don't mind being a supporting role, or even not a role." ”

Compared with his empty words, Wen, who doesn't talk much and looks younger, is more able to grasp the point: "I know that the distrust between the two comes from the fact that I am young and a novice, but every director comes from a novice, doesn't he?" I've done a lot of work on the film, and it won't cost more than $1 million if it's well controlled, but if you're willing to provide some equipment, Ray and I will find a way to raise money to make a short film to prove our idea. ”

Sean glanced at Vladimir, who shrugged and didn't say anything, then looked at Wen again: "If we provide the equipment, how much do you need to make this short film?" ”

The two quickly exchanged opinions in a low voice: "3000...... No, $2000 will do. ”

"Alright," Sean pulled out his checkbook, "I'm personally sponsoring you $3,000." ”

He quickly jipped down the numbers and signed his name, then handed them over, "You're not going to let me down, are you?" ”

"Xiexie, Mr. Tang," Wen Warner was a little agitated as he held the check, "thank you very much, we will do our best to do our best!" ”

The matter came to an end for the time being, and after the two young people left excitedly, Vladimir, who had not spoken much since Sean took over the leadership, asked: "I am optimistic about this script again." ”

Sean didn't answer directly, and after a moment of deliberation, he looked at him: "Todd, do you remember how we were Jihua before?" ”

"You mean the expansion of the company?" Vladimir raised an eyebrow and quickly reacted, "You're ready?" ”

"Yes, that's what I want to come back to tell you, the few powerful investment companies you contacted with Neil have already made initial contacts, right?" Sean said in a relaxed tone, seemingly not paying much attention to it, "A new round of financing is imperative, and my shares are bound to be further diluted, so the establishment of a new shell company is already imperative." ”

It was previously discussed that if Sean wants to avoid being swept away in the future, in addition to grabbing the equity as much as possible, he can also set up a shell company affiliated with Samsara Pictures, and make some movies with good box office and hold the rights firmly in his hands.

"But there is a problem that needs to be solved, and then how to solve the box office movies." Sean said in a leisurely tone.

"So you're on this one?" Vladimir's reaction was quick.

"That's right, I think this movie is worth investing in, and if what they say is true, I can still take out an investment of 1 million." Sean was relaxed, "With the beginning of this movie, I don't have to worry much. ”

It's a series!
