"That's it?"

Three days later, when he officially received the preparatory plan for the film project "Happy Death Day", Lao Gun's face was still full of disbelief.

"Jodie Foster, this woman, really has a hand|!"

"yes!"

Charlotte chimed in.

Although on the day of the celebration party of "Fatal Bend", Jodie Foster took over the draft script of "Happy Death Day", Charlotte did not expect that the progress would be so fast.

"New Line and Orion are also in the game. ”

While flipping through the proposal, Charlotte calculated,

"Orion invested 1.6 million, Jodie Foster's "Egg" company invested 1 million, and New Line invested 1.8 million, and then converted the total price of your share of the "Fatal Bend" project into 400,000 and invested it in the new movie. ”

"Our share is only 400,000?"

Photographer Addison Young looked dissatisfied,

"The new line must have been deliberately depressed, I think the current box office must have $600,000!"

- As of now, the North American box office of "Fatal Bend" has approached $60 million. Although the strong challenge of "Forrest Gump" will be ushered in soon after, on the whole, it is no problem to increase by about 20 million.

That's why Addison Young felt that New Line was depressing their share.

- By the way, after lobbying by the old guns, cinematographer Addison Young happily joined Charlotte's studio, which was still in the pipeline, and was ready to cooperate with their plan for a film split.

"I've missed a James Cameron and don't want to miss another Charlotte Booth!"

Mr. Photographer's words made Charlotte blush a little, but having good teammates on board was a good thing after all.

"Don't you understand, Addison?

The old gun is also a mockery,

"As the box office of Fatal Bend increases, you will find that the production cost of the announcement will gradually increase - the original plus a large amount of publicity expenses was only a little more than 10 million dollars, and now it is close to 13 million. Guess what's the added cost?"

The old gun folded his fingers and counted them one by one,

"Desks, greenery, and toilet paper, are these guys working in an office building when we shoot exteriors!?

He pointed to his lower body,

"More than 1,000 *****! I don't know, I thought we were going to Amsterdam! At that time, the women in the crew were less than six, and in a few weeks, how did these more than 1,000 ***** consume!?"

"Don't be angry. ”

Charlotte waved her hand,

"That's what those companies do. After all, sharing is about cutting out costs and making a profit. Now that we can make the cost higher on the books, it naturally means that we can pay less!"

"yes!"

Old Gun sighed with Addison Young,

However, these can actually be retrieved by checking the cost report. But, Charlotte—"

Lao Gun looked at the preparation plan for "Happy Death Day" and frowned,

"——The total production budget is only 4.8 million US dollars, isn't it a bit small? The cost of "Fatal Bend", even if you remove the publicity cost, is probably around 5 million, right?"

"Not much. The pure production cost of "Fatal Bend" is actually not much different from the budget this time, not much. ”

Charlotte scratched her head, but her mouth was full of confidence,

"If you use it carefully, it's actually enough to make a good movie. ”

"Well, you're the director, you have the final say in this regard!"

Addison Young doesn't really care about the budget.

"However, with only such a small amount of money, I'm afraid I can't afford to hire any famous actors, right?"

"I've thought about that. ”

Charlotte paused before continuing,

"I want to use Jodie Foster's relationship to invite some well-known actors to make cameos, do you think it's okay?"

- The so-called friendship cameo, although it does not mean that it is free to act, but the price is not according to the normal salary. Therefore, if you invite a more suitable actor to make a cameo, it will indeed be very cost-effective.

In this regard, the old gun also agrees, but-

"Foster, would she be willing to help with this?"

"I guess it's okay!"

Charlotte didn't dare to guarantee 100% either,

"After all, she is also the second producer of this movie!"

"Second!?And who's the first producer?"

“...... Anthony Westwood. ”

"Tony again!?"

The old gun couldn't help but scream,

"Didn't he say he was going to retire?"

"No retreat!"

Charlotte said depressedly,

According to him, it was inspired by Fatal Bend that he wanted to dedicate his entire life to the film industry. For this reason, he also specially drafted a will for his death. ”

"Will?"

"Once he died suddenly during the filming of the film, he allowed the filmmaker to use his name to promote the film. ”

"Is he trying to be on par with Alan Mike Eloy?"

The old gun couldn't cry or laugh for a while,

"I think that with this will, maybe one day he will be killed by the boss of his own company - what a good promotional material!"

“...... When you say that, I'm really worried about his life!"

Charlotte made a very cold joke, and when he saw that the other two did not reply, he coughed and continued:

"Actually, it's normal that Tony guy will come to be the producer of the "Happy Death Day" project - in the current investment plan, the new line has contributed the most money, and the producer should be their people, and Tony has worked with us once......"

"Naturally, isn't it?"

The old gun muttered,

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, how are you preparing for the second version of the script? With a production budget of about 4.8 million, it is estimated that the preparation will not be over for long, and if you can't get the full script by then, it will be difficult for me, the casting director, to find someone to audition. ”

"Don't worry, you won't have to wait long!"

Charlotte seemed very confident, but Lao Gun was not very convinced, because he knew that the difficulty of the script this time was far greater than that of "Fatal Bend" - after all, 80% of the difficulty of an infinite loop movie was whether the script was cleverly designed.

And—

"You seem to have been studying the script you received from a USC student for the past two days!

The old gun reminds Charlotte not to forget that the most important thing at the moment should be to complete the script of "Happy Death Day" and nothing else.

But Charlotte didn't seem to hear the old gun's meaning, he raised his hand and handed the old gun a script,

"Let's take a look! It's probably not interesting, but if it can be filmed quickly, maybe it can echo our "Fatal Bend" and explode at the box office again!"

"So powerful?"

The old gun took the script suspiciously, but found that the title was-

"Blair the Witch!"
