Chapter 73: Then I can't kneel and ask for food

The people on the line are spilled out, and the rest is to wait slowly, and Sean doesn't have a good way to do this.

As long as Sean can overthrow the Dimio crime group, then the fitness club can naturally ride the wave to spread all over New Jersey, as for now, the director of operations who came back is planning to title a series of events, 'Sean Cup Basketball Tournament'.

For an amateur basketball tournament in six surrounding cities, the members are a team of street basketball players and basketball enthusiasts, for this event, Sean has to pay $50,000, including sponsorship of two sets of sports equipment for all participating teams, rental of competition venues, team bonuses, top three prizes and so on.

The cost is not high, and this thing can be deductible from taxes, Sean didn't think much about it and approved it directly, according to the meaning of the director of operations, if the effect is good, then in the future, it can be considered to be run all the time and become a regional amateur league.

The competition is completely free of charge, and the purpose is to promote it, because the contestants are all locals, and it is believed that it will attract a large number of locals to support their family and friends.

In addition to the health club, the business development of the security company is a little slow, and other companies are waiting to see the effect of the cooperation on the bank's side even if they have ideas, and the alcohol business has completely stabilized, and for a while, Sean found himself completely idle.

After thinking about it, since there was nothing to do for the time being, Sean decided to catch the matter of the 'textbook movie'.

If you want to make a movie, you must have a script, and Sean is going to come up with an outline by himself, and then find a few people who write the script to write the story.

It's just that Sean's knowledge of Hollywood is limited to knowing that Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and other ......

Also know about the San Fernando Valley.

There are also many masterpieces that have been handed down from place to place!

At this time, Sean could only sigh that his path was still too narrow!

Once again, PwC's Lamb was brought over, after all, PwC has operations all over the United States, and more business in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

After all, if you want to say that there are the most companies with chaotic accounts, money and fake accounts, then Hollywood must be the first in the United States.

"Investing in film?" Lamb listened to Sean's plan, and his head shook like a rattle, "Don't think about it, there's no money to be made from this, and the total box office of the film market every year is limited,"

"There is so much money that people spend on watching movies, and there is no oil and water to squeeze."

"I never thought about making money at the box office."

"Who do you make if you don't make money at the box office?"

"Earn those big companies!"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"Nope!"

"I'll tell you." Lamb walked up to Sean and bowed his head and said: "To make this movie, you must first set up a project, win over the actors, pay taxes and donations, and after getting the box office, the money from the theater will be returned in full, and the remaining three or seven will be divided." ”

"How can it be seventy percent?"

"Seventy percent are other people's issuing companies, and the remaining three percent are economic companies."

"What about mine?"

"No! It's all the cost, the box office is gone, the accounts are absolutely clear and clear, after all, there are so many box offices. "Lamb stalls, Hollywood plays like this for this kind of fat sheep who want to enter the industry.

"In other words, after some copyright operation, all the money I invested is gone?"

"It depends on people's faces, otherwise, if the equipment is damaged or advertising expenditure, you will have to pay it back again." Lamb nodded heavily, "It's called tuition!" The water for making a movie is so deep that you can't grasp it! ”

"This big money is spent on investment, just to pay for tuition?"

"Yes!"

"I finally managed to make some money and wanted to make a movie, I also set up a clever project, and I also won over actors, not only did I lose money once, but I also had to look at the face of the distributor?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'm not going to kneel and ask for food!"

"If you want to say that, if you want to make a way in Hollywood, you really have to kneel and ask for food first, that's it, how many people want to kneel and have no way."

Sean grabbed Lamb's shoulder, "I ask you, why am I going to get out of the way?" ”

"I just can't kneel down because my legs and feet are weak!"

"Do you want to make money standing up? Then you better not go to Hollywood. Lamb shook his head.

"I don't understand this, if you are a serious person, why is it better to get out of the way?"

"In the eyes of the people, you are an investor, but in the eyes of Hollywood people, you are a kneeling begging for food, in Hollywood, among those famous male and female stars all over the world, which one of them did not come in on his knees, and how many stars are still kneeling and licking." Lamb shrugged, "Make money, business, don't chill!" ”

"Han, very fucking Hanqi!"

"Then you'd better not go to Hollywood."

"I'm going, I'm going to stand and make money."

"I can't earn it." Lamb shook his head.

"This, can you make money!" Sean pulled out his gun and slapped it on the table.

"Yes, get out of the way."

"This, can you make money!" Sean pulled out a bag of money and smashed it on the table.

"Yes, on your knees!"

"Then this plus this, can you earn money standing still!"

……

On the plane from Los Angeles to Newark, three men sat together and chatted quietly.

"I didn't expect to run into you, do you know what the payer does?" A man with a Mediterranean haircut asked with a smile.

"I don't know, whatever." Another shrugged his shoulders, "Just give money, there are many such people now, they always feel that they have a good story, as long as they shoot it, they can pick up money in Hollywood, and they don't want to think about it, there are so many movies in Hollywood every year, and there are a few that really make money." ”

"I heard what the other party meant was that he came up with an outline and let us ghostwrite, but I really doubt that he can understand the written storyboard script." With that, the three of them laughed.

Just like Lamb said, due to the popularity of the film market and the fame of Hollywood, I don't know how many rich people in the world want to take the money to come in and get a piece of the pie, and as a result, there are many film production companies in Hollywood that specialize in defrauding these foreign investors.

There are too many loopholes in the production and distribution of movies that can be drilled, and this kind of thing has become an assembly line operation, and in the end, whether the film is produced or not is another matter, even if it is released, the final investors will find that they can't get a penny at all, and all the box office has been divided by the distributor, theaters, and brokerage companies.

Half of Hollywood's companies live on these sheep all over the world.

Any closed industry in the world is like this, this is called interlacing like a mountain, if you want to cross industries, first break the mountain in front of you.

Before these three guys came, they had already been contacted by film production companies, and there was more than one, involution, and it was really everywhere.
