The screen returned to darkness. Harvey Weinstein sat there but didn’t move. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Jones Butler, fully agreeing with what she said. If the front of the film can be regarded as a first-class horror film, the final stunning ending , So that the entire film has been sublimated, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super-class small production.

He turned his head again, and his gaze fell on Murphy, who was controlling the camera.

Think about the "Fruit Candies" a few months ago. He was still a director who only had one-line narratives. Even one-line narratives were not very good. He had to rely on sensitive themes to attract the audience. Look at the present The cross-montage is skillfully used, and the advantages of the suspense film are almost perfectly integrated in the main plot, especially the final ending, which is simply amazing.

The film is not without flaws, such as the inevitable roughness of low-cost films, but the excellent creativity and clever lens use conceal these.

The curtains in the drawing room were opened, Harvey Weinstein could no longer sit still, and did not call Jones Butler to introduce him, and strode towards Murphy.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

He came over and proactively extended a hand to Murphy. Murphy took a step forward and shook Harvey Weinstein's right hand firmly, "Call me Murphy."

Harvey Weinstein nodded and said directly, "I want to talk to you."

Murphy was looking for it.

There is no need to refer to the assessments of Miramaxes. Harvey Weinstein waved to Jones Butler and took Murphy into the next reception room.

Jones Butler made a cup of coffee for Murphy and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. Harvey Weinstein looked at the guy in his early twenties, but didn't rush to speak.

They didn't speak, and Murphy kept silent except to say thank you to Jones Butler.

Harvey Weinstein's head has been turning at a high speed. He has run countless films and has a certain ability to judge the possible market value of many films. These are not necessarily accurate, but he rarely misses.

If a film wants to reflect the true market value, operation and marketing are the key, but he will not ignore the role of the film itself. Those films that do not have selling points and do not meet the market, even if they are announced and released, they will still be unavoidable. street.

There is no doubt that this "Chain Saw" has sufficient selling points and very operational value.

Even from this film, he remembered the "Scream of Scream" released by the company a few years ago, and they are just as amazing in the horror film genre.

The only difference is that Wes Craven, the director of "Scream and Scream", is a master in the field of horror films, while the opposite is an unknown new director.

Harvey Weinstein's complexion is calm, and these thoughts will certainly not show up on his face. What he calculated most is how to get the copyright of this film with the least cost.

"A very good horror movie." He leaned on the sofa and took the initiative to break the silence. "Murphy, your progress is very fast. Are you interested in continuing to cooperate with Miramax?"

Murphy looked surprised, "I can get the approval of professionals like you, and my entire crew will go crazy with joy."

He paused and swallowed, "I really want to cooperate with Miramax Pictures."

"Very good," Harvey Weinstein put a smile on the fat on his face, "I can give you a guarantee here that this film will definitely enter the theater, and it will be in no less than 500 hospitals. When it is screened online, audiences across North America can see this film and know you as an excellent director."

"That's great!" Murphy laughed happily.

With an excited smile on his face, there was peace in his heart. Harvey Weinstein was using his fame as a bait.

How many people who enter Hollywood do not want to be famous? The big fat man sitting on the sofa knew this very well. He and Miramax didn't care about the name. What he wanted most was profit.

Harvey Weinstein has come into contact with countless newcomers to Hollywood, and few people who can resist the temptation of famous people. To be precise, there is no one, including Quentin Tarantino, who is popular with him.

Hollywood has a lot of fame and fortune, but not many for a newcomer. As long as the other party wants more fame, they will naturally compromise with Miramax.

Miramax is the industry's top independent film distributor, behind it is a group company like Disney, Harvey Weinstein believes that the other party must know this.

Seeing Murphy's excited expression, he also showed a slight smile, and the confidence of a successful person was unconsciously brought out.

"Murphy, set a price for this film." He is totally in charge.

What does this mean? Of course Murphy can understand. He still has an excited smile on his face, but he says, "Miramax wants to buy out the copyright of this film?"

Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly. This is obvious. Only by buying out, Miramax can let go of operations and maximize profits.

Embarking on this difficult film road is not only for the unrealized film dream on the other side of the Pacific, but also for the better life. This is the only road he is most familiar with and most likely to succeed.

Miramax has outstanding independent film operation capabilities. What Harvey Weinstein said can be realized. Murphy believes in this. As long as he sells the copyright of the film to Miramax, he will be like Like the former director, he has made his mark in Hollywood.

From this perspective, selling off the copyright is not unacceptable, but the price of selling off...

How much can an independent film sell? Murphy won't have too many extravagant hopes, let alone the issue company or Harvey Weinstein who will find it conscientiously.

He thought for half a minute, then slowly said, "Thirty million dollars!"

If Mira Maxken offered such a price, Murphy would be completely able to accept it. Such a sum of money would be enough for him to make more plans, truly gain a foothold in Hollywood, and move forward step by step. If he is lucky, he may become a dream Directors with fame and fortune like James Cameron or Steven Spielberg.

In the future, I can still imagine the Oscar statuette.

How many directors don’t want to get the best director, Golden Man? Maybe some people don't want to, Murphy asked herself still very much want to try how it feels to touch that little golden man.

In a short moment, countless things floated in his mind, the future success, the future fame and fortune, the future status, the future can stand in the movie circle and look down...

In this commercial country, these all require money as a basis.

Is there a precedent for buying out an independent small production for $30 million? Murphy hadn't heard of it, but he still said this number.

Maybe others will think he is crazy, but in Murphy's perception, this film is worth that number.

Moreover, repaying the money on the spot is the most normal thing in negotiations.

Harvey Weinstein's back has left the sofa, his eyes are as bright as the sun outside, looking straight at Murphy.
