081 That's how a new Hollywood film was decided?

It is not so complicated to complete the Los Angeles branch of Tuanhuo Culture, they introduced an American to be the director, and Tuanhuo Culture can only be the majority shareholder.

After all, the person in charge is an American, and there are many things that are easier to deal with, so He Fang found Du Chunsheng, who is not only Chinese, but also a producer, understands all processes, and is one of He Fang's college roommates, He Fang knows better.

Therefore, a group of people discussed, and the Los Angeles branch of Changsha Tuanhuo Culture was established, and Du Chunsheng became one of the directors of the company.

He is mainly responsible for the production and promotion of Hollywood films of Tuanhuo Culture, or the promotion and distribution of Changsha Tuanhuo Cultural Films in the world.

It can also be a account, or a shell for co-production, all of which can be.

In order to avoid taxes, Changsha Tuanhuo Culture wants to register a company in the Cayman Islands, and then use the name of the Cayman Islands company to control Los Angeles Tuanhuo Culture.

Let Du Chunsheng do these things, he is very good at doing them, after all, he is engaged in production work in Hollywood, what door does he not know? There may be some doorways he hasn't done, but he definitely knows it.

In addition to the company's problems, the next issue is the film preparation for "Invasion of Wall Street".

"Where, are you basically using Hollywood actors as an actor?" Du Chunsheng asked.

"Hmm...... The heroine uses a Chinese actor, I have to give a Chinese actress a chance to break into the world. He Fang spread his hands.

Du Chunsheng shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect He Fang to be so amorous.

"Take care of your muscles, don't always do this kind of, you're interfering with the normal production process." Du Chunsheng protested.

"No, I'm here for the Chinese market, and the performance of the Chinese market is different from that without Chinese actors. Of course, Mr. Producer, please believe that the acting skills of the actors are absolutely qualified. ”

"Okay, but we're going to audition, it's not enough to just pass the acting skills, can she speak English?"

"Uh...... I didn't ask, wait a minute, I'll ask. ”

"Oh, Shet, he, please don't do this kind of thing, can you be serious about making movies?" Du Chunsheng howled.

Zhang Qian and Jiao Guoxiong watched from the sidelines, could it be ...... Hollywood producers always think about controlling the quality and cost of films? Don't even give the boss face?

"Hey, Yoo-yeon, do you speak English?" He Fang called and asked.

"Three nights in the middle of the night...... English? It's going to be a little bit. A lazy voice rang on the phone.

"Do you speak American English fluently?"

"That's not good, it's good for me to go abroad and have a meal or something."

"Oh, forget it, you sleep......"

Liu Yan looked at the phone call that ended the call, and smiled helplessly, suddenly she thought about something...... No way?

It's just that when she called, the phone was busy.

"Hey, Dongdong, you don't know how to speak English, standard American English, the kind that needs to be very fluent."

"Ah, I, won't ......"

"Okay, then you go back to sleep."

"Hey, Yuxin, do you speak English? American English is the kind that is very fluent. ”

"No, how could it be,"

"Okay, then you go back to sleep......"

……

"Hey, Sister Bingbing, how is your English? Can you speak fluent American English? He Fang called Fan Bingbing.

"Ah...... It's okay, although it's not very pure, but it can't be heard, at least it's smooth. "Fan Bingbing is very clever, she knows what's going on as soon as she hears it, her principle is to say yes first regardless of whether it works or not, and then talk about it if it doesn't work.

Next, He Fang immediately sparked English with him, and told Fan Bingbing some lines in English and asked her to read them.

And put on hands-free for the producers to listen to.

Fan Bingbing had no choice but to say something.

Du Chunsheng shrugged his shoulders and said that there was no problem, and He Fang nodded.

"Okay, Sister Bingbing, it's okay, I have a low-budget Hollywood movie here, and I lack a heroine."

"Low cost? How low? Fan Bingbing asked.

"Uh...... It is not low to exchange it for RMB, and the production cost of converting it to US dollars is 10 million, and it is 10 million for publicity. ”

He Fang talked with Du Chunsheng before, this movie can't be very low-cost, at least 20 million. Otherwise, it can only be regarded as an independent film, and the independent film will take the route of an independent film.

Of course, there are two kinds of independent films, one is pure art films, and the other is cult films.

Pure art films take the award-winning route of literary films, while Cult takes a different route, specializing in the kind of film festivals with thrillers and heavy tastes, and then sell DVDs or TV pay-per-demand and website on-demand to survive.

But the story of "Invasion of Wall Street" is neither a pure art film nor a cult film, this film is not an art film, and there is no heavy taste.

So there is only one way, take the cinema line.

But if you don't have a star in the theater, and you don't have a certain amount of publicity and distribution costs, then going to the theater is looking for death.

After Du Chunsheng's analysis, no matter how much publicity and distribution of 10 million US dollars is needed, the international distribution will be issued by the United States to Fox or other companies, and China will spend 10 million yuan to distribute it.

Every movie has its most basic bottom line, it's not that you can make it at a low cost if you want to, or how much you want to make money by making it at a high cost.

Movies must have a balance line, first determine the theme of the movie, if it is a commercial film story, then go through the commercial process, the necessary stars, and a certain amount of publicity and distribution costs, which cannot be run.

And the necessary stars and a certain amount of fees have to start at tens of millions of dollars, so since they have invited stars, they must ensure the quality of the film, the shooting time must be sufficient, and the props, equipment, scenes, etc. must be enough, which is the fundamentals of spending money.

Some people may think that if I spend 1 million to make a movie, will it be successful to spend 10 million to publicize it? Most likely, not, because the production quality of one million is difficult to support the recovery of the investment of 11 million.

Of course, there are special existences, such as the kind of ultra-low-budget movies that are famous all over the world, such as "Shark Beach", "A Quiet Place" and the like.

But those are, after all, a minority of the minority, and cannot be taken as a model. Typically, it is necessary to ensure the star and quality at the same time, with appropriate publicity, which can be a standard commercial film.

"Two million dollars? More than 100 million yuan, which is very high. Fan Bingbing said.

"But in Hollywood, this is really low-cost, and if you want to be low, you can only invite some actors who are not famous at all, and remove a large amount of publicity. Forget it, if I don't tell you this, do you want to take it? Don't pick me up and find someone else. He asked.

"Pick it up, why don't you pick it up, when?"

"The camera will be started on June 1st, and I will send you the script when I turn around, and you will hurry up and practice the speaking for me, and you must practice the speaking well."

"Okay, when will you go back home?"

"Well, I'll be back when I get back." He Fang said that he raised his eyebrows at a few people, and several people suddenly rolled their eyes and couldn't see He Fang being so embarrassed.

"What level is this actor in China?" Du Chunsheng asked.

"Well, it's equivalent to Hollywood's Anne Heatherway, the most beautiful one, the most talked-about one, the national goddess." He Fang said.

"OK, he, you cow, I don't have anything more to say."

"Haha......"
