Legendary Hollywood Producer

In order to have a channel for distribution in North America, Roman spent more than 15 million US dollars during this period to acquire 3 small entertainment companies, and finally managed to establish a distribution channel belonging to Manhai Entertainment. During this period of time, Roman also recruited the screenwriter and editor of the film "Infected Body". It was the second part of "Small Town Zombie" during the promotion, but this one had nothing to do with the original film. The setting about the zombies inside rewrites a script, similar to the story of "Busan Tour", except that the place inside is in the United States.

In addition to editing "Infected Body", Roman also gave them some suggestions to let them use their brains and write a TV script. The setting is the story of a group of people surviving in the zombie-ridden America, and the name is "The Walking Dead".

After finishing his work, on December 25th, Roman took Uncle Shulman to the mainland, ready to borrow chickens to lay eggs again.

......

After leaving the airport, Roman and Shulman got on a special car sent by China Film and arrived at the hotel.

"I'm very sorry for not being able to meet you at the airport." In the hotel lobby, Chairman Han of China Film Group shook hands with Roman and said, "I just had to deal with something temporarily.

"It's okay." Roman let go and introduced to Chairman Han, "This is the CEO of the distribution department of our Manhai Entertainment, Shulman Walter, and my uncle."

"Schulman, hello." Chairman Han shook hands with Shulman again.

After some greetings, Roman followed Chairman Han into a hotel suite.

""Small Town Zombie" was released very successfully. It won a good score of US$64 million at the North American box office. In addition, the overseas copyright was also sold to Sony/Columbia, which received US$27 million. The development of surrounding copyrights is almost done. ......" Roman said and took out a few documents from the suitcase, "This is the specific account." In addition to concealing the profits made by "Small Town Zombie" in the UK, Roman did not conceal anything else. , Handed the accounts prepared by Mie to Chairman Han.

Han Ping received the document. He asked someone to inquire about the release of "Small Town Zombie" in North America, so he knew the box office of the movie, but the specific profit was not very clear. After reading the documents carefully, he found that the profit of "Small Town Zombie" was US$29 million (deducting the production cost), which means that China Film invested US$3 million this time but got back US$8.7 million (deducting the investment) in profit. , Nearly three times the gain, it is really a huge profit, Han Ping sighed in his heart, he would have invested a little more money if he knew it. However, at the beginning of the cooperation, I was a little cautious, afraid of being deceived. This time I can no longer flinch. Han Ping looked at the figures on the file report. Hollywood movies are too profitable.

Han Ping put down the report, "Mr. Roman, then I won't bother you to rest. I will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow, and then we will celebrate again."

"Well, this time I still have a movie project and want to raise money." Roman said to Chairman Han.

"We have time to talk again tomorrow." Han Ping got up, and then said, "You have a good rest, Mr. Roman."

After Roman got up and sent Chairman Han out of the room, he couldn't even take a shower, so he lay in bed and went to sleep. After a day's flight, he was exhausted. The current service on the plane is even first-class. It's not very comfortable either.

After a good night's sleep last night, Roman took care of his personal image after getting up, and then drove with Shulman to another hotel to attend a celebration banquet.

As soon as Roman walked into the private room, there were already 4 or 5 people in it. As Roman and Shulman took their seats, a series of exquisite dishes were brought up by the waiter.

Sitting on the left of Roman is Chairman Han, on the right is his Uncle Shulman, and on the opposite side are the two brothers of Huayi's Dawang and Xiaowang. Sitting from left to right are Wang Changtian of Light Media and the CEO of Orange Sky Golden Harvest.

Although I was a little puzzled why there were still a few investors who did not attend the banquet, when Chairman Han helped him get a good drink and raised the glass, Roman also raised the glass.

"Cheers for the box office explosion of "Small Town Zombie"." Chairman Han finished speaking and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

Roman's drinking volume was also good, whether it was his previous life or the current body drinking volume was very good, so he also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Following a burst of commercial exchanges, pushing the cups and changing the cups, the full-fledged people moved to a room next door.

After sitting down, Han Ping first spoke, "Mr. Roman, we all discussed yesterday, and we are still investing in your next movie project."

Roman is not a fool either. Seeing their posture and combining them with the fact that all the investors did not arrive at the reception just now, how can I not understand that they are trying to make things right and exclude other investors. However, Roman didn't care, as long as he could afford the money, he didn't care too much if there were many people and few people.

So, Roman took the prepared information and distributed it to everyone, and introduced, "This movie is the sequel of "Small Town Zombie" "The Infected". The script and financial budget statement have been sent to you. Please watch it." Roman sat in his seat and watched them flip through the information.

Chairman Han looked at the script. This story is obviously more in-depth than "Small Town Zombie", but the funding is much higher than that of the previous movie, and it needs to raise 20 million.

Well, the total budget is 25 million U.S. dollars. Roman said that they Manhai Entertainment will bear 5 million of funds, but in fact, 20 million is enough to make this movie, and there may be surplus, but well, it’s impossible. The rest, Roman thought to himself. This cooperation, although the mainland investors can certainly make money, but Roman’s "tradable without capital." Without the supervision of a third party, mainland investors would not have the ability to intervene in Manhai Entertainment's finances. Roman is just swindling this, and he is reluctant to do anything later. After all, do he have to give the "chicken" a little bit of benefit.

"You have seen the plan and the script. As the director of this movie, I will still give priority to Mr. Joe Det Durbar, who has filmed "Small Town Zombie". I believe everyone will recognize his strength. Okay. Any doubts?"

"These materials are very detailed, we can talk about how to invest." Chairman Han said.

Roman smiled and said, "I plan to use the same investment method as the previous movie, and calculate the profit divided into the movie according to the investment ratio."

After listening, everyone agreed. In this way, the four companies each contributed 5 million U.S. dollars, plus 5 million invested by Manhai Entertainment, to form the source of funding for the film "Infected."
