Lawrence was very satisfied that Alice could make her own demands.

When he moved to Vinton Street a year ago, as a neighbor, Lawrence had already realized that Alice's ability far exceeds her peers. Academic performance is only the most basic standard. Whether it is logical thinking ability, actual knowledge reserves or the ability to turn theory into practice, Alice's ability is enough to amazed any knowledgeable adult.

Lawrence is not sure how much benefit the Wang family has gained under the influence of Alice. But as Sissi's father and one of the few readers who have read some excerpts of "Jurassic Park", he is definitely aware of what kind of power the script written by the other party can have.

Although it does not lack connections 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 it is still hard to say what the results will be, otherwise there would not be so many movies that lose money. As a cultural industry, it is definitely not enough to make as much money as it invests.

So, as an excellent investor, he habitually made another gamble.

If Alice, who can write a very skilled novel like "Jurassic Park", can honestly create scripts for him, the company's revenue will definitely be stable. An excellent director shoots excellent scripts, and is accompanied by suitable actors and appropriate promotions. Without seeking huge profits, it is safe to make money.

The 25% box office share is indeed very exaggerated, but that means that ordinary screenwriters are asking to buy scripts, but now Alice intends to cooperate with herself. Using this matter as a condition of cooperation, according to general types of companies, is actually equivalent to a type of technology investment. This technology is reflected in the ability to create scripts, rather than simply a patent for a certain product.

Since he is a partner, the importance of emotional intelligence is also extremely important. Lawrence was naturally very happy to see Alice asking him about the specific cooperation details.

Only when smart people cooperate with smart people can they achieve real success, so of course they must also handle their relationship well. Only when the other party is a stupid donkey with a guilty conscience, capitalists are willing to use the method of unbroken and killing the donkey. After all, who calls him a stupid donkey?

"Everything is based on the results."

Lawrence said: "The investment cost of the first movie is 5 million. If the box office can reach more than 10 million, you can get a 25% dividend. If it is less than 10 million, that is, it is less than twice the cost, then it will only be 10% dividend. Then, if you lose money, I will only pay 50,000 US dollars in one lump sum. What do you think?"

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

Therefore, the film industry is indeed an industry that is easy to make money, with the premise that it can really accurately estimate the box office.

Return rate, this is a data that is crucial to film artists, that is, the ratio of movie investment and box office.

Alice didn't know if other reborn people would have any advantages. She had a real experience that if it weren't for the infinitely powerful brain in this life, she could have all the important, unimportant, and trivial memories in her previous life, even if she was reborn a hundred times, she could remember a ghost!

Did Jobs die that year? When did the entire iPhone series be launched? Naruto's comic serialization start date, completion date, anime serialization start date, completion date... Sorry, I haven't paid attention to it carefully, so let me take a Baidu page immediately.

Who is in this life? I will remember some messy "historical events" all day long!

Even if you remember...the actual action?

Everyone knows the market value of Penguin Company. Can anyone go back to the past be a pony? Everyone knows that "Curse" is a classic, can anyone call for a slutty to be Shimizu Tsu? Everyone knows that "Naruto" will be popular halfway, but who can remember what the original manuscript looks like on every page of the manuscript, and is it as outstanding as Kishimoto's Shimizu?

Rebirth is not an advantage. Being able to remember every detail of historical events, then turning these intelligence into action, and combining them with practical professional skills is the real advantage. Otherwise, you can only be a civil prophecy emperor.

如果爱丽丝没有如今这颗大脑,她就算重生一百遍,又有个屁用!

So, it is precisely with the current brain, rather than the mere rebirth advantage that Alice can remember the returns of various movies clearly, even accurately as long as every specific number.

If you make a ranking list...

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

The video uses home videos as clues and tells a story about the unknown and the truth quietly.

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

Its super high box office return is mainly obtained in this way.

Control costs. The entire film is shot with home DV, without big names, no exteriors, minimal interior furnishings... Finally, the production cost is controlled at US$11,000. Although it is not the lowest in history, it will also shock people. The ultra-low cost lays a solid foundation for the ultra-high box office return rate.

The style is updated. The film uses first-person shooting, without music, no sound effects, those swaying shooting techniques, coupled with the mysterious plot, make the audience feel like they are in a movie, experiencing everything with the protagonist, and quietly expecting the incredible things to happen. Although there is no ghost from beginning to end, the dark gray pictures, empty doors, changing sleeping postures on the bed, floating shadows, strange footprints, slipping sheets, etc. all create a very real sense of presence, which makes people shudder in a quiet environment.

Creative wins. The idea of ​​DV and documentary-style films does originate from "Blair the Witch", but because the former lacks the theme and core, the whole film is looking for something that does not exist from beginning to end, so it is difficult to impress people. However, the theme of "Ghost Records" is set as "real" - human fear of the unknown world, which has a unique beauty due to its unique perspective, and has been recognized by many movie fans.

"If we also inject funds into the movie, this part will be distributed according to the proportions we should have. Then, Mr. Lawrence, what if the funds for the movie are borne by us?"

Lawrence smiled and said, "Haha, of course everything is done according to the industry rules. If you can really make the production cost of the movie personal investment, then it is okay for the company to only charge other parts of the fees. This is equivalent to making money in vain!"

"However, cast recruitment, director screening, and everything else that needs to be done as a producer. Alice, you can't do it yet, right?"

"Hehe~ Then what about that?"

Alice tried her best not to show a proud smile, but she couldn't help it: "I invested in the full amount of the filming fee, and then personally served as the director and screenwriter. As for other related matters, I will leave it to the company to handle, especially the promotional distribution fee. We must not let our family pay this, right?"

"Ah...I get it."

Lawrence looked around. If everyone was still a little confused the previous second, they heard that Alice was going to be a director, and they all understood.

It’s just that the little girl wants to throw some money, pat things and play, and enjoy the director’s addiction.

"Okay, no problem!"

Lawrence laughed and agreed: "But you have to take a photo and show it to me first. The equipment can be rented for you. If you can pass the test, let's talk about the specific matters, but the issuance fee will definitely be fully covered!"

Well, yes, the equipment can be rented, but you can pay for other costs yourself. If you shoot well, you will certainly promote it and release it. If you can’t shoot well, of course it’s just a little girl who is addicted to directors.

"I believe you will be satisfied."

In this way, Alice proudly smiled: "Alice's production must be a fine product!"

"The Legend of Ghosts", compared to the public attention that "The Witch Blair" relies on the rise of online rumors, this movie has made huge profits with real skills. She is confident that with the public's ability to accept horror movies in the 1980s, this movie can definitely reach the level of "Grudge"!

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