053. [Digging AV Corner]

The United States has a prosperous and prosperous business, and the efficiency of handling and registering a company is even more staggering; Of course, the speed with which companies declare bankruptcy and bankruptcy at the same time is staggering.

In fact, under the U.S. Corporation Registration Act, the registration fees charged by state governments vary from a few tens to hundreds of dollars. Take the registration of a limited liability company in Utah as an example: the initial registration fee is $52, the annual renewal is $12, the name check is $22, and the trademark registration is $22. Together with other miscellaneous expenditures, the overall cost would be approximately $150.

The issuance of a business license by a registration authority marks the establishment of a company. It generally takes two or three weeks from application to registration. In California, if you pay a $75 expedited fee, you can complete the registration process within a week. It is also possible to purchase a pre-registered shell company from a lawyer, which is relatively expensive but can be delivered immediately.

After the enterprise is incorporated, it needs to obtain a commercial signboard license from the urban construction and housing management department before it can publicly hang or display the enterprise signboard. Neon signs or light boxes are generally required to apply for a permit first.

Of course, for Yi Feiyang, who is super pressed for time, in order to enter the actual combat as soon as possible and shoot a hot horror film in his hands, no matter what method is used, as long as the company can be set up as soon as possible, this is the first thing to consider.

As a result, Louis Carr, an American lawyer, first directly spent more than $50,000 to buy a registered shell entertainment company from a lawyer, and then spent $3,000 to obtain a commercial signboard license directly from the urban building and housing management department. It cost nearly $60,000 and only took two days!

Time is money!

For Yi Feiyang, although he spent an extra $50,000, he saved himself more than half a month's time, and it was worth it!

10 October 1998.

In this double 10 day, the "Dream Pictures" company built by Yi Feiyang was announced after obtaining the license officially issued by the United States.

It is necessary to set off firecrackers covered in red.

It is also necessary for dragon and lion dances to gather some popularity.

After all, it's in Chinatown, and these customs and habits should be inherited.

Big Bird Lucci and others came to congratulate and sent wreaths...... God, there is no distinction between the circle baskets? Fortunately, Yi Feiyang, who learned of the situation, was alert, and before the wreath was delivered, it was changed to a large flower basket to make up for it.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, people will send you kumquats, you are going to give red envelopes, but Yi Feiyang's purse is very cheating, and he has no choice but to play a white strip.

It is said that during this period of time, Master Camel has already had a "white professional account", the registration fee of Dream Pictures, the listing fee, and the daily miscellaneous expenses, etc., which are nearly 100,000 US dollars, and almost all of them are borrowed from him by the fat man in charge of finance.

Although the camel master has already made up his mind to get on the thief ship of Yi Feiyang, but someone spends money so lavishly, but it also makes the camel master holding the coffin book cry, this is just the beginning, and it has wasted more than 100,000 US dollars in just seven or eight days...... What if this meat bun hits a dog?!

……

Ignoring the worries of the camel master and his old man, and saying that the establishment of Dream Pictures, a small film company, did not make any waves in Hollywood, Hollywood is calm, like a smooth and calm lake, without even a trace of wind; Of course, it is not accurate to say this, at least under the premise that Yi Feiyang did not have the slightest hype, a small entertainment newspaper still published a small news, a small news in the cracks...... China Yi established Dream Pictures, and the future development is worrying......

In just one sentence, it illustrates a big problem.

The first question, this small film company was actually established by Chinese, which feels very ridiculous and funny. In the impression of Americans, the best business for Chinese is to open a restaurant, or to help people wash dishes. Do you do movies? Who else are you but a BruceLee?!

The second question is that the name Dream Pictures sounds like a "fairy tale" enough, which is too unreal. Isn't it "daydreaming" that you are a nouveau riche Chinese who made some money by speculating, and if you don't go back and stay at home, marry a wife and have a child, but run out to start a company? Isn't that dreamy enough?!

The third question is why I am worried about this small company, because Hollywood is a famous crocodile pool, in which there are many predators who are devoured alive and murderous, and it can be said that it is really rare to set up a company like Yi Feiyang after making a sum of money. No experience, no strong capital, no backstage, aren't you looking for death?!

In any case, this little news in the cracks, drifting with the wind, still spread out, and in exchange for scorn, and the stupid and bold ridicule of the Chinese. Of course, the most is waiting to see the excitement and see the jokes.

"I heard that this China Yi set up a company to film, and the filming was to fight Lionsgate's "The Witch" 2, haluha, God, there is a good show to watch!"

"Isn't China Easy partnering with Lionsgate? What's going on? ”

"It's not because Lionsgate wants to shoot the authentic "Witch", China Yi, a second-hand dealer, has no choice but to step down!"

……

"I heard that the nouveau riche China Yi is preparing to shoot three horror movies in one go to show his dissatisfaction with Lionsgate!"

"Three? If he can shoot a film smoothly, I will screw my head off and kick him as a ball! God, he really thinks that filming is playing tarot cards, and he can blow it however he wants! ”

……

All kinds of comments, all kinds of discussions, disdain, disdain, hard to believe, and mockery of Chinese movies, have expressed the "disfavor" of these Hollywood people for the dream film industry.

Even if people all over the United States are not optimistic about the newly established Dream Pictures, the company still has to open as usual.

There was no huge crowd to congratulate, no enthusiastic media coverage, no enthusiastic fans, and cheering audiences, just like that, Dream Pictures opened in an atmosphere of beating gongs and drums and entertaining itself.

……

In any case, under the management of Yi Feiyang and others, the rough prototype of Dream Pictures has been formed, and roughly calculated, there are still 20 days before Halloween.

And within these 20 days, Yi Feiyang, who is known as a "stupid bold" and "nouveau riche" by Hollywood, must recruit people, and start filming "Horror Cruise", "Buried Alive" and the "cursed" version of "Ghost Record" that he has tampered with.

In other words, with a company, there must be someone next.

No one, who will work for you? Who's going to be filming? Who will be in charge of the company's affairs, big and small?!

Of course, the management can ignore it for the time being, but filming requires a crew, which includes cinematographers, lighting artists, makeup artists, and scene notes, etc., and these people must have.

Fortunately, Yi Feiyang also has a friend who is an underground filmmaker in Hollywood...... Rabbit Bill.

Hollywood.

The film capital of the world.

The cornerstone of a cinematic empire.

Many years ago, it was originally just a large farm purchased by a businessman named Harvey, and when his wife was traveling, she heard a woman next to her say that she was from a place called Hollywood in Ohio, and she thought the name "Hollywood" was good, and when she returned home, she brought a large number of holly trees from Scotland to plant them on her husband's farm, and named the farm "Hollywood". In fact, this word originally means holly tree in English.

In 1887, Harvey took advantage of the government's plan to build a small town here, and officially registered the name "Hollywood" with the regional government, and by 1900, it had begun to take shape, Hollywood already had a post office, a newspaper, a hotel and two markets, 500 residents, and in 1903, the place was upgraded to a city.

In 1907, director Burgess and his camera team came here to shoot "The Count of Monte Cristo", they now have plenty of sunshine and changeable terrain for filming, and in 1910 the great director Griffith also came here, the workaholic immediately fell in love with the place, under his influence, more and more filmmakers flocked to Hollywood, and soon the big studios also migrated.

In 1911, the first film studio was officially opened, and in the same year a total of 15 studios settled here, and in 1923, 75 years ago, the line of white letters that would become a symbol of Hollywood: hoLLyood was erected on the hillside behind Hollywood, a dilapidated town that flourished because of movies.

Paramount, MGM, the big studios are located on both sides of Hollywood Street, which is the most prosperous place in Hollywood, where the stars are gathered, the cars and BMWs are full of lights, and the poor actors who are trying to squeeze their scalps to squeeze in can only choose another path near Hollywood, shooting underground adult movies, in order to buy bread and beer, and make ends meet.

These people live in the underground world of Hollywood, some of them bury themselves for their dreams, and some of them are like mackerel, even if they are hungry, they strive to be upstream.

Some of them will become famous in the future, such as today's Hollywood action superstars...... Stallone.

When Stallone was in his 20s, in order to break into the film industry, he stubbornly "fought the real army" with the heroine naked in the A movie "ThePartyatKittyandStud's" (Italian Stallion ~ Horse), starred in no~ code plays, and showed various outrageous postures.

In the film, Stallone plays the heroine Kitty's boyfriend Stud, who is the heavier of the two male roles, except for him and another male star, most of the actors in the whole film are women, and there is even a long lesbian ~ sex ~ bed love scene, Stallone is on the side from the beginning to the end.

Of course, when everyone enters the camera, most of them are naked, and the front and back of Stallone include the "key points", and the audience can see it clearly. When Stallone became famous for "Loki" in the future, this A-film was immediately renamed "Italian Breed ~ Pony" and was re-listed.

In fact, many big stars have had a career of selling their flesh and skin before becoming famous: Steve McQueen was a call man, and Sean Connerley used to be a naked~body~ model, but none of them left any records, but Sylvester Stallone's performance in the A movie cannot be erased.

When he took over the film, he was still a 23-year-old young man waiting for a career breakthrough in the slums of Hollywood, working several jobs such as movie ticket collectors during the day and only having time to make films at night, and his salary was only $200.

Bill Bunny's experience is similar to that of the big star Stallone, except that his dream is to be an amazing director, not an actor.

It's a pity that Bill the Rabbit was unlucky, so he could only show his "artistic talent" in the underground adult film market, and his artistic talent was too "artistic", and he frequently lost money, until he took shit luck and met Yi Feiyang, who chased his account, and then began a real "artistic life".

For Yi Feiyang, Rabbit Bill holds 100,000 gratitude, the main reason is that everything Yi Feiyang does is so incredible, like a magician, giving people miracles.

For Bill Rabbit, today's Yi Feiyang is not just a "buddy" and a "friend", which is mixed with admiration and worship, so he respectfully calls Yi Feiyang "boss".

Now "Boss Yi" has something to say, asking him to make some friends from the underground adult film market to help with filming, and explained that at least three filming crews must be set up to shoot "Horror Cruise", "Buried Alive" and "Ghost Record", and the personnel demand may be more.

After receiving the order, Bill Rabbit immediately called his own group of dead friends without saying a word.

In fact, Bill Bunny's personnel are very good, especially when he was doing small movies, he met a lot of friends who shoot AV, including photographers, lighting artists, makeup artists, etc., to name a long list.

Those AV photographers, gaffers, makeup artists, etc., just make up a small movie on weekdays.

To be honest, people like them, on the fringes of Hollywood, are submerged in the ground despite their talents, and belong to the people who live at the bottom of Hollywood. The prosperity of Hollywood in people's eyes has nothing to do with them, and their biggest hope is to be able to take a shit luck, be favored by a certain big director, and then make a fortune from this place that creates dreams, and live a beautiful life for a lifetime.

But such an ideal is very difficult to realize. The reason is that there are too many people working underground in Hollywood!

More monks and less porridge!

Overcrowded!

They lived like this walking corpse, and gradually, their dreams became numb, and they no longer believed that they would have any shit luck.

So after getting the news of Bill Rabbit, there was a very surprising scene immediately.

And Yi Feiyang's trick of letting Bill Rabbit dig the foot of the wall also caused turmoil in the Hollywood underground adult film market, so much so that the guys who made a fortune in small movies in the future said:

One is easy to fly, and a pot of soup is broken!
