Legendary Hollywood Producer

Although there is a moon and starry sky in Burbank at night, the whole city is silent like a dead silence, not at all the hustle and bustle of the day. After eating the dinner prepared by Chef Huang for him, he took out a bottle of white wine from the wine cabinet.

Pour a glass and drink slowly by yourself. Shulman has returned to England, and he will bring his wife to the United States after dealing with the matter over there.

After filling his stomach, Roman put the unfinished wine back into the wine cabinet and walked into the study alone.

Taking out the notebook from the drawer of the desk, Roman took the pen and wrote some names in Chinese on the paper.

"Zombie World War" is also a zombie type movie, which is in line with the company's plans for the next.

"I am a legend" is also not bad. A doomsday movie that started with a dog should also be written down. There is also "Zombie Besieged", a movie adapted from the game. Although it was badly made, the theme is very good, so write it down. Roman thought about the movies he had seen in his previous life and could be shot, and continued to record with his pen.

Um...oh, yes, there is also "The Hunger Games", Roman wrote it in his notebook with a pen, "The Martian", "Interstellar", "Gravity"... Roman has watched these movies in his previous life and wrote them down. Some movies are useless. The copyrights are not in the hands of the six major Hollywood or film production companies. Roman has no idea to acquire them. It is too energy-consuming, and the second is that the cost is too high. However, the copyright of the characters in Marvel can be acquired, after all, Marvel has fallen into disarray over the years.

Roman again wrote the two words Marvel in his notebook. Before he had no funds, he naturally did not dare to make the idea of ​​these superheroes. Now that he has sufficient capital, he can naturally peek at Marvel's wealth. Of course not now, when the "Infected" is released and the funds are returned, then there will be money to buy the copyright.

Roman put the notebook back in the drawer, these are all wealth. Roman was satisfied and returned to the bedroom, having a good night dream...

Roman, who came to the company the next day, called to inform director Joe Detduba to come over to discuss the pay for "Infected."

Joe Deterduba worked well with Roman, and when he heard that there was another movie project that needed him, he also came to Manhai Entertainment with his agent.

In Manhai Entertainment, in Roman's office, director Joe Detduba and his new agent Wood are sitting aside. The last agent has been fired by Joe. Since he successfully directed a big-selling movie, Joe has joined CAA, where there are better resources and more opportunities.

Joe Det Durbar has read the script and said, "It's a very good story, Roman, I would like to direct it."

Immediately, Joe's agent said, "Then Mr. Roman, what treatment would you like to give director Joe Detduba?"

Roman has already thought about this question, and directly replied, "2 million US dollars, plus a 5 percent box office profit share." It is also a very good treatment for a director who has successfully directed a big-selling movie. Because the collaboration is good and the subject matter is similar, Roman still wants to find a director who has already succeeded to shoot.

The agent Wood is also very satisfied with the reward. After all, Joe’s qualifications are there. He is still very preferential for the second film’s salary increase, but he also tried it. After all, the more Joe gets, he The share will be more.

"US$3 million, plus a 5 percent share of the box office profit, Mr. Roman, Joe Det Durbar is absolutely worth the price."

Roman shook his head and said, "That is the best condition I can give, please think about it." What? The box office is divided into 3 million yuan. When Roman is being taken advantage of, he would rather not cooperate with this acquaintance who has a foundation of cooperation, or agree to this price.

Seeing Romain's rejection so simply, Joe stood up and said, "I agree, Romain, looking forward to our cooperation again." Seeing Romain rejected Wood's proposal, Joe also knew that Romain's bottom line was reached and simply accepted the terms. .

"Then wish us success again, director Joe Det Durbar, I look forward to your new work." Roman smiled and hugged Joe.

"Me too, Mr. Roman, I wish us success."

......

After finishing Joe Det Durbar, Roman also began to ask Lamy and Joe to form a crew together, and choose a suitable location for the crew. This drama requires a lot of outdoor scenes, and the special effects production is signed to Industrial Light & Magic is a bit expensive to say, but their standard is the top of the world's special effects industry.

When the recruitment of the behind-the-scenes staff was almost done, director Joe Det Durbar and Lamy began auditioning for actors, while Roman went to find someone to collect Marvel's information to prepare for the next plan, so they couldn't get a piece. Audition actors. However, he will be back in two days. It is okay to let director Joe and the producer of this film Lamy choose together. After all, as long as the actor does not exceed the budget, as long as the actor's image fits.

After Roman came back from New York, the actor of the film was also selected, and it was a man named James McAvoy who succeeded in taking the role.

This man was born in 1979 and is 25 years old this year. He was too young to want, but his temperament and image were too good, mainly because he was handsome and his acting skills were good. No actor is more suitable than him. He was selected because of his low salary and good image.

Wait until Roman returns to Burbank and get the information. Oh, this is not Professor X's youth actor in the "X-Men" series. So I joined the crew of "The Infected" for only 100,000 US dollars, and the subsequent series of supporting roles were all packaged by CAA, and the girl role in the movie was in trouble. After two days of audition, I couldn't find a suitable image. So we have to keep looking.

It took a week later to find a suitable candidate. Dakota Fanning, who is 10 years old this year, looks cute. He joined with a salary of 70,000 US dollars. The salary is so high, mainly because there are not many child actors. In addition, Roman also Do not want to delay, only agreed to a series of requests from Dakota agent. So far, all the actors in the crew have been found. Roman also called to inform Xu Jinglei and Wu Jing to come to Los Angeles to film "Infected."

Because Dakota Fanning is underage, she takes no more than 6 hours of shooting every day, and she also hires a tutor for her to not delay her study, and she can't be naked or take part in dangerous shots..... Waiting for a lot of things, so it is said that child stars and animal actors can become the most unstable top few in Hollywood movie shooting, because it is too much trouble.

On January 17, the film "Infected" officially started shooting in a workshop of Warner Studios.
