The Goddess Shines on America

　　 Lawrence was very satisfied with Alice's request.

　　 When he moved to Vinton Street a year ago, as a neighbor, Lawrence had already realized that Alice was far superior to her peers. Academic performance is only the most basic criterion. Whether it is logical thinking ability, actual knowledge reserve or the ability to turn theory into practice, Alice's skills are enough to wow any erudite adult.

　　 How much benefit the Wang family gained under Alice's action, Lawrence didn't know. But as Cici's father, as one of the few readers who have seen some excerpts from "Jurassic Park", he absolutely knows what kind of power the script written by the other party can have.

　　 Although he does not lack the contacts in the literary and artistic circles, the film industry itself determines that it has the nature of gambling. The box office scale can be estimated, but in the end it is still hard to say what the outcome will be, otherwise there won't be so many loss-making movies. As a cultural industry, it is by no means necessarily able to make as much money as it is invested.

　　 Therefore, as an excellent investor, he habitually takes another gamble.

　　 Alice, who can write a complete novel like "Jurassic Park", if she can honestly write the script for him, the company's revenue will be stable. An excellent director shoots an excellent script, and is matched with the appropriate actors and appropriate promotion. It does not seek huge profits, and it is easy to make money.

　　 25% of the box office share is indeed very exaggerated, but that refers to the ordinary screenwriter asking for a script, but now it is Alice who intends to cooperate with herself. Taking this matter as a condition for cooperation, according to the general type of enterprise, is actually a kind of technology shareholding, but this kind of technology is reflected in the ability to create scripts, rather than simply a patent for a certain product.

　　 Since it is a partner, the importance of emotional intelligence is also extremely important. Seeing Alice comfortably ask himself about the details of the cooperation, Lawrence is naturally very happy.

　　 Smart people and smart people can cooperate to achieve real success, so of course the relationship with each other must be handled well. Only when the other party is a stupid donkey who is guilty of the crime, the capitalist is willing to use the means of unloading the mob to kill the donkey. After all, who calls him a stupid donkey?

　　 "Everything speaks according to grades."

Lawrence said: "The investment cost of the first film is 5 million. If the box office can reach more than 10 million, then you can get a 25% dividend. If it is less than 10 million, it is within double the cost. Then there will only be a 10% dividend. Then, if I lose money, I will only pay $50,000 in one go. What do you think?"

　　 Alice didn't answer immediately, her eyes started to roll.

　　 So, the film industry is indeed a very easy industry to make money, provided that the box office can be accurately estimated.

　　 rate of return, this is a data that is vital to the film industry, that is, the ratio of film investment to box office.

Alice doesn’t know if other reborns will have any advantages. Her personal experience is that if it weren’t for the infinitely powerful brain in this life, it could take all the important, unimportant, critical, and trivial things in the previous life. The memories are all coming up, even if she is born again a hundred times, she can remember a ghost again!

　　 Jobs died that year? When did the full iPhone series go on the market? Naruto’s comic series start date and end date, anime series start date, end date... Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to it, let me just Baidu it right away.

　　Who is alive and keeps memorizing some messy "historical events" all day long!

　　 Even if you remember... what about the practical ability?

　　 Everyone knows the market value of Penguin. Can anyone back in the past be a pony? Everyone knows that "The Grudge" is a classic, can anyone recruit a calabash gourd to act as Takashi Shimizu? Everyone knows that "Naruto" will be half the sky, but can anyone remember what each page of the manuscript looks like, painted as good as Kishimoto?

　　 Rebirth is not an advantage. It is a real advantage to remember every detail of historical events, to turn this information into action, and to cooperate with actual professional skills. Otherwise, he can only be a folk prophecy emperor.

　　 If Alice does not have the brain that she is now, even if she is born again a hundred times, she has another fart!

　　 So, it is with this brain, rather than a pure rebirth advantage, that Alice can remember the rate of return of various movies clearly, even to every specific number.

　　If you make a ranking...

　　 Well, yes, the first profitable movie in history, the "well known" "Blair the Witch" has been replaced in 2009. Although "Ghost Record" is suspected of plagiarizing the former, innovation is also essential for its success.

　　 This film uses home video tapes as clues to quietly tell a story about the unknown and the truth.

　　 Stock trader Mick and his girlfriend Katie moved to a new house. Excited Mick got a camera to track and photograph the two people's ups and downs. However, their excitement was quickly replaced by inexplicable anxiety. In addition to them, there seems to be other lives hidden in this house. At two or three o'clock in the morning, the camera in the corner of the bedroom truly recorded those supernatural events. Katie couldn't bear to want to move, but Mick wanted to make this incident into a movie. But when he really wanted to leave, it was too late...

　　 Its super high box office return rate is mainly derived from this.

　　 Control costs. The whole film was shot with home DV, no big names, no exterior scenes, minimal interior furnishings... In the end, the production cost was controlled at $11,000. Although it is not the lowest in history, it will make people stunned. The ultra-low cost has laid a solid foundation for the ultra-high box office return rate.

　　 style update. The film is shot in the first person, without music, no sound effects, those swaying shooting techniques, coupled with a mysterious plot, making the audience feel like they are in the movie, experiencing everything with the protagonist, and quietly looking forward to those incredible things. occur. Although you can’t see a ghost from beginning to end, the dark gray pictures, empty doors, changing sleeping postures on the bed, passing shadows, weird footprints, falling sheets, etc., all create a very real one. This kind of presence feels chilling in an environment of silence.

　　Creativity wins. The idea of ​​DV and documentary-style films really originated from "Blair the Witch", but because the former lacks themes and cores, the whole film is looking for something that does not exist from beginning to end, so it is difficult to move people. However, the theme of "Ghost Record" is set to be "real"-human beings fear of the unknown world. Because of the unique perspective, it produces a unique sense of beauty, which has been recognized by many fans.

　　 "25% of the box office revenue of the pure script component. If we also inject funds into the film, this part will be distributed according to the due proportion. Then Mr. Lawrence, what if the film production funds are fully borne by us?"

Lawrence laughed and said: "Haha, of course everything is done in accordance with the rules. If you can really make the production cost of the film be personally funded, then there is nothing wrong with the company only charging other parts of the cost, which is equivalent to a waste of money. what!"

　　 "However, actor recruitment, director selection, and all other tasks that need to be handled as a producer, Alice~www.readwn.com~ don't seem to be able to do it?"

　　 "Hey~ how about this?"

Alice tried her best not to show a smug smile, but she couldn't help it: "I fully fund the film shooting costs, and then I personally act as the director and screenwriter. As for other related matters, I leave it to the company to handle, especially the publicity. Issuance fee, this must not be paid by our family, right?"

　　 "Ah...I see."

　　 Lawrence looked around. If everyone was a little confused a second ago, but when I heard that Alice was going to be a director, he understood.

　　 is nothing more than a little girl who wants to throw some money casually, shoot things and play, and have a director addiction.

"OK, no problem!"

　　 Lawrence laughed and promised: "But you have to take a picture and show it to me first. The equipment can be rented to you. If it can pass, we will talk about the specifics later, but the distribution fee must be all inclusive!"

　　 Well, yes, the equipment can be rented, but the other costs are paid for by yourself. Of course, good filming will be promoted and released. If filming is not good, of course, it is just a little girl who has a director addiction.

　　 "I believe you will be satisfied."

　　So, Alice proudly smiled: "Alice produces, it must be a boutique!"

　　 "Ghost Record", compared to "Blair the Witch", which relies on Internet rumors, this movie is really profitable. She is confident that with the people's ability to accept horror movies in the 1980s, this movie can definitely reach the height of "The Grudge"!

　　 The shooting cost is really only more than 10,000 yuan!
