The company and the individual are two completely different business entities. Shahai Entertainment invested in the shooting of the "Human Purge Plan" as a company, while Ronan was a producer as a personal behavior.

Therefore, Ronan signed a producer employment agreement with Shahai Entertainment.

This is a reasonable and legal investment for Arabs.

Most film companies will hire producers to coordinate all the business of the crew, and then beside the producers is an online producer, which is commonly referred to as the producer manager, responsible for preparing budgets, renting equipment, coordinating venues and supervising accountants.

However, small crews often don’t pay so much attention to it. The functions of online producers are actually scattered among Ronan, George, Mary and Robert.

Ronan treats core veterans well. In addition to their normal salary, these three people can also receive a producer salary from the crew.

It’s so great for the Arabs.

Strictly speaking, the "Human Purge Plan" does not belong to Shahai Entertainment, but a project initiated by Ronan. Shahai Entertainment invests in this project and requires a development fee to Ronan.

This is not Ronan traps Arab investment, but the normal situation in the industry.

Jerry Brookheimer and his Brookheimer company often play this way.

Producers like Jerry Brookheimer are often called "planning experts". These people are often project initiators and are absolutely high-end existences in the circle.

Typically, the production company will pay a fee of $10,000 to $60,000 to the general project sponsor.

As for gold-medal producers like Jerry Brookheimer, the project initiation cost is often as high as seven figures.

Because it involves individuals, Ronan follows formal industry regulations, and based on the project's investment of US$11 million, he receives a payment of US$25,000.

Half of the money has been paid, and as usual, the other half will be paid when the shooting begins.

The producer's remuneration is not only this, but also project guarantee fees and production fees.

The Human Clearance Plan does not have third-party guarantees, so the project guarantee fee is naturally unavailable.

Regarding production costs, the producers' alliance belongs to a trade organization and does not have any regulations on production costs.

There are many factors that affect the production cost. What plays a decisive role is basically the box office status of the previous film, the film that has participated in the production and has been successful, the film's budget and the industry status of the customers.

Producers are undoubtedly the real high-end existence of the film industry. In Hollywood, producers who took over for the first time can now receive production compensation ranging from $20,000 to $150,000.

After the arrival of the new millennium, this number will rise significantly.

Compared with the fledgling screenwriters and actors, this is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

In terms of producer remuneration, Ronan is standardized, and Shahai Entertainment paid him $35,000 in production.

That is to say, Ronan's producers are paid $60,000.

In addition, there is also a script copyright transfer fee.

The script of "Human Purge Plan" belongs to his personal creation, and there is no creative agreement between him and Shahai Entertainment, so the copyright ownership is very clear.

The US Copyright Law clearly stipulates that when a copyright agreement is signed, the copyright of the corresponding works created by the employer shall be completely owned by the employer.

In other words, if the project initiator has an idea and hires a screenwriter to create a script, the copyright of the script has nothing to do with the screenwriter hired.

In this regard, Ronan's work is beyond reproach, only $5,000.

The script of the new screenwriter is not a member of the union, so it is basically the price.

Ronan is also the second highest-paid person in the crew, second only to director James Huang.

And signing.

This is also very important. In case the film is sold well, just like the director and the main actors’ signatures, the producer’s signatures can also attract widespread attention.

It is not difficult to find that those who follow the opening and prologue of Hollywood movies are all signed separately and rarely go along with others.

Ronan took advantage of his own advantages to not only sign independently, but also gave him an independent picture.

Anyway, the production company will not object.

After the venue was determined, equipment rental was in place, and the actors signed an agreement, Ronan specially convened the main creators of the crew to hold two meetings. It was not because of work arrangements, but mainly to let these people get familiar with them as soon as possible.

Later, his work will be relatively easy.

Many specific preparations for the crew were pressing on James Huang. As the director of an independent project and the person with the highest pay, he had to take corresponding responsibilities.

Most directors of the crew will participate in the project preparation throughout the process.

Ronan did not relax, and controlled the overall situation of the crew and the project through Mary, George and Robert.

As a producer, you cannot lock the director, and you cannot completely let go of the shackles.

There are many directors who are all those who have a brain-opening mind to the sky. They can immediately fly out of the atmosphere by letting go of the rope that tied him.

Set office.

Ronanshen looked at the latest financial report sent by Mary, and he could roughly understand his experience in his previous life and his studies during this period.

"It's really like spending money." He lamented the changes in the numbers on the books.

But Mary asked, "Will the Arabs really ask about the specific direction of the funds?"

The film preparations have been underway, and the expenses on the accounts have reached nearly four million US dollars.

Ronan was very satisfied with this speed of spending money and replied: "Just in case."

It is always good to prepare more.

It is better to avoid some troubles as much as possible. The Arabs really have money, but they are very short of money.

Try to work with the Arabs for a few more years. The UAE is really prosperous, and sometimes it makes no sense.

Having said that, whose money is not money? An American dollar is no higher than an Arab dollar.

After looking through the financial reports, Ronan remembered Netflix, whom he has been paying attention to recently, and said to Mary directly: "You should find a more reliable market research and consulting company, with better ability and higher prices. Let them stare at an Internet company called Netflix and its founder, Reed Hastings, and publish a dynamic report every week."

Mary didn't understand what Ronan meant, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it now."

Ronan thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know anyone in the San Fernando Valley who makes romance movies?"

"What are you going to do?" Mary warned: "Ronan, in our industry, it is a taboo to touch that type!"

Ronan quickly waved his hand: "You're thinking a little bit." He explained simply: "I'm creating a novel with some plots about the San Fernando Valley, and I want to take a look at it on the spot."

Recently, he has been Kaven. Kaven is dying of ecstasy, so he wants to take time to go to the San Fernando Valley to watch it on the spot.

Mary believed it and said, "I'll ask someone to ask." She asked, "When are you going?"

Ronan replied: "The faster the better."

The novel serialized on the blog has not been updated for a long time, but fortunately there are no readers, otherwise the blade would have been collected.

Mary looked at Ronan curiously and said nothing. She left the office and was about to return to the finance room when she saw a sweet-looking blonde girl walking along the corridor with a paper bag.

She knew this girl, Amanda Seyfried, the youngest actor in the crew.

"Hello, Mary." Amanda Seyfried said hello to her and asked, "Is Mr. Anderson here?"

With a sweet and polite appearance, Mary laughed and said, "Ronan is in the office. You go over and remember to knock on the door before going in."

Amanda Seyfried said with a sweet smile: "I will."

Waving her hand to Mary, she came to the office door, knocked gently on the door, and then pushed the door open and entered.

When Ronan saw the blonde girl coming in, put down the book in her hand, Amanda Seyfried waved quickly: "Hello, Mr. Anderson, didn't disturb your work, right?"
