Michael Clayton is a writer and businessman.

But he was not as shameless and cunning as a businessman.

He went home and carefully read the script of the 60 episodes of "Friends" for one night, and the next afternoon he went to Xuluo to talk to him.

This time Xuluo didn't go, Chen Xiyue took classmate Yu to go.

By the time it was time for dinner, the two girls had already signed a contract in their hands.

Michael Craton agreed to False Luo's terms, became the director and executive producer of "Friends", and paid $5 million in cash, and owned various rights and interests in "Friends" at 18% of the profit of $100 million, 15% of the $200 million, and 13% of the $300 million and above.

And one of the conditions for Michael Creighton to get so many dividends is that he is specifically responsible for the filming and production of "Friends" from beginning to end until the end.

It means that if he shoots eight seasons, he won't be paid a penny for eight seasons.

filmed ten seasons, and he didn't get paid a penny for ten seasons.

Only dividends are paid from beginning to end.

The savings and wait for the 2% equity dividend are owned by Chen Xiyue, who is also a producer.

Xuluo was quite satisfied with this.

So after the two officially signed the contract, they began preparations in full swing.

There are more than 1,000 companies that produce TV dramas in Mi Province, many of which have been producing TV dramas since 50 years ago, and some of which have disappeared after a year or two.

But there are so many TV stations in Miguo, as well as such a developed TV drama marketing network, which is destined to be a very profitable business in Miguo.

That's why there are so many production companies.

Michael Cradon doesn't have his own production company, he just has a studio, but he has a lot of experience in borrowing other people's production teams to work.

He recommended five small companies with a good reputation in the industry and decent production capabilities.

Why a small company?

Because medium and large companies are difficult to control, they want to control more things, so they are willing to cooperate.

Obviously, these are tool people, why should I give you so much?

Therefore, it is still the most straightforward for a small company, only to talk about the price, and there is no need to talk about any dividends, and people themselves will understand.

Chen Xiyue went to his reporter friends again and recommended it to a small company called "Gaia Entertainment" in Xuluo.

This company has more than 20 employees, the number is a little smaller, and many of them wear multiple hats, whether it is the level of shooting, or production skills, or field affairs, lighting, sound effects, etc., are good.

Originally, I took one or two jobs a year, and my life was quite nourishing.

But their boss floated away when he succeeded, and instead of following the previous principle of "only making and not investing", he found two scripts to produce by himself...... In the end, the loss was very serious, and it was a bit of a stretch to make ends meet.

As a result, their asking price is also very low, as long as they can keep the company running.

When Xu Luo heard this inside information, he simply asked Chen Xiyue to come forward, directly bought the company with 500,000 US dollars and 1 million debts, and named the company according to the inspiration he got from a cartoon he watched a few days ago - "Bubu Stitching Monster".

….

Of course, what Xuluo cares about is not the company's equipment, but this group of old employees with an average age of 35 years old, at least more than 10 years in the industry.

With this stable team, it will be convenient for Xuluo to produce TV series or something in the future.

But Michael Bryton is very puzzled, in his opinion, you need to produce a TV series, you just need to cooperate with a production company temporarily, why buy it, and be responsible for their labor, bonuses, social security, etc., isn't this too much?

If Xuluo didn't have any other good script, then he wanted to

Definitely.

But the problem is that Xuluo will definitely not just restart the memory of an American drama, and there will be more American dramas to be produced in the future.

In this case, of course, a fixed team is more appropriate.

Hiring on a temporary basis to find a new one is inevitably not easy to use.

These employees are also very happy, they are not talented people, they are used to working here, they are used to the peers and friends around them, and the salary conditions are stable, so they think about working here until retirement.

I didn't expect the boss to make such a big leak halfway, I thought the company was going to be bankrupt and liquidated, but it turned out that such a Chinese man came and bought the company, not to mention, and immediately announced that he would make a TV series.

The director is Michael Bryton, a famous artist who has been very popular recently.

This gave them great confidence that their days were going to be going on again.

……

After the production team is done, the more important thing is casting.

Because Xuluo said that he already had a definite actor candidate, Michael Brighton didn't intervene first, he was ready to see what Xuluo's vision was.

If he chooses a crooked melon and a rotten jujube that only conforms to Xuluo's aesthetics, he doesn't mind directly using the power of the director and producer, and he doesn't give it to him.

Don't doubt it.

Although Xu Luo is the collaborator with the most shares, he Michael Brighton, a well-known director, has such authority.

In particular, the place where the shooting was taken was Mikuni!

That's a lot of meaning.

The division of labor in Hollywood is very detailed, and casting is of course the director's job, but the audition at the beginning does not use a director, but the following "casting director".

Boob Stitch Monster has a casting director, named Buckman, 33 years old this year, and a bearded man.

Xu Luo called him over first, and the first thing he asked was, "Have you ever experienced such a thing as the red sofa?"

Buckman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Boss, don't worry, I'll arrange it for you right away...... Do you like white people? Blacks? Or a man? Gentle? Boisterous? Fat? Skinny? Which type?"

Thanks to the recent rapid improvement in Xuluo's English, otherwise I really couldn't hear him speak quickly.

The young man's face suddenly fell: "I'm asking you something! It's not like you're trying to do anything!"

Buckman hurriedly smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, boss, I misunderstood...... I haven't experienced anything like a red sofa."

Xuluo didn't believe it: "I've heard that your casting director will definitely start first!"

"And that's just some unimportant supporting role." Buckman explains, "They don't usually have the qualifications to go to the director and producer interview room, so I didn't experience the red sofa...... But I've actually enjoyed it, but it's not as high."

….

"Including men?" Xuluo asked casually.

"Nope! No!

Buckman shook his head, "I'm normal, don't do that...... Boss, do you like it?"

"Like you, I only like women." Xuluo replied.

"For example, we did "Friends" this time, and the overall investment exceeded 12 million US dollars, which is a very large TV drama project, so we can basically find second-tier TV drama stars to come over." Buckman was very enthusiastic to help Xuluo analyze, "There are a lot of good goods in it, I'll help you find a list, and when the time comes, you just need to signal me, and I'll let them come to your room at night!"

Xuluo frowned: "I don't like to do that, don't mention it in the future."

After a pause, he said, "As long as you don't go too far and don't cause trouble, I won't care about it...... But there is one point, whoever delays my business, then ask him to leave...... You help me get the news out there."

Buckman hurriedly said, "Yes, I see!"

Xuluo nodded: "Now the crew wants to find actors, what is your general process?"

"We casting directors generally work with supporting characters with a few lines at most, and then some passers-by, actors who don't have to speak, and so on." "If it's an important supporting role, we'll give out invitations to some of the right actors to audition based on the needs of the role. If it's an important actor, the director or producer has to invite it personally."

"The six protagonists I chose are basically newcomers and not famous." Xuluo still used his own trick method, "I don't know their names specifically, but I've seen them on various occasions, such as billboards, TV dramas, movies, operas, etc., so I drew their portraits, can you find them?"

As he spoke, Xuluo handed the six portraits of the main characters to Buckman.

Buckman thought to himself, boss, your way of finding characters is quite unique.

Then he took the portrait and looked at it, then nodded with a smile: "Well, these portraits are very realistic, I can take them to the Actors' Guild, and then find some friends and ask them to confirm, I believe I will get the news in two days."

"Okay."

"But they don't know that they are very likely to be selected, in order to create pressure on them and the initiative in negotiations, you also need to find some additional actors to fill the number, and everyone auditions together...... Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Buckman patted his chest and said, "I've done this before, I'm no stranger to it! Boss, I'll report back to you when I'm done!"

Xuluo commanded, "Move quickly, don't delay time."

"Yes!"

Buckman agreed, but didn't leave right away, and he said, "Boss...... I think these three heroines are all very good-looking! Since they are all newcomers, they must be very obedient, are you sure you don't want to taste it?"

The boy shook his head, "No."

I grew up under the red flag.

With the No. 2 baby by my side and the No. 1 baby waiting in China, how can I fall into this capitalist pink trap?

"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble, everyone knows the rules." Buckman continued to persuade, "As long as you take good measures, you won't get sick."

"Fuck off!"

Xuluo smiled and pointed directly to the door.

Seeing that Xuluo refused, but was not angry with himself, Buckman thought that he understood what the boss meant.

Dare is too young and inexperienced, so I'm sorry.

When a few of them sign a contract, I have to explain to them whether they can seize the opportunity and hook up with the boss, that is their own luck!
