Chapter 37 Casting the Nets Widely

Hollywood Pictures, Distribution Department Reception Room.

A bald middle-aged man with eyes put down the information in his hand, put it away, and smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson, your project is well planned and the scene design is also beautiful."

"Your recognition is a great honor." Ronan continued at the right time.

If he waited patiently for the following, the deputy director of the distribution department would definitely have a turning point.

Sure enough, the bald middle-aged man said again: "But your movie has not been completed yet, right?"

"Yes." Ronan said the truth: "The shooting took place about one-third."

The bald middle-aged man suddenly asked, "The investment in this project is really $11 million?"

Ronan smiled: "To be honest, this is for publicity needs, the real investment of the video is about 3 million US dollars."

The other party is a real expert in the industry. The so-called 11 million budget cannot be hidden, but based on the truth, you can also add some materials appropriately.

"A small-cost horror movie of $3 million..." The bald middle-aged man looked through the script again: "The scale of investment in production is not small."

Looking at the entire North American film industry, a film that invests $3 million is definitely not a small project.

Ronan took out the only person with some influence in the cast lineup: "The director of the film, James Huang, has directed "X-Files."

The bald middle-aged man nodded gently: "I seem to have heard from the people from the Fox TV series production department talk about him." He put down the script and said, "Let's do it, Mr. Anderson, wait until your video is finished, let's talk about it in detail, how?"

"Yes." Ronan has achieved his goal: "When the video is completed, I will send a copy as soon as possible, and I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate."

The bald middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Ronan and said goodbye: "As long as the video is excellent enough, the release is not a problem."

The preconditions are explained very clearly.

Ronan shook his hands hard: "This will be an excellent horror movie."

Mary followed Ronan and didn't speak. Seeing Ronan's expression and hearing what Ronan said, she couldn't help but nod. Ronan, who had experienced a setback, was really not the Ronan he used to be.

When she was promoting "The Jedi", she also accompanied Ronan to several distribution companies. At that time, Ronan was young and impulsive, and always kept telling people how outstanding his movies were. It contained many interesting ideas. The talent contained in it would inevitably impress the audience and would definitely be a big hit at the box office.

When the distribution company expressed dissatisfaction with the film, it shouted that they would regret missing the movie!

Look at Ronan now, he is like a different person, mature and steady, and deals with it appropriately. The true and false words are really easy to gain trust from others. If you listen to the false, you will believe in the ears of such an informed person.

This is what producers and business elites should look like.

More importantly, she saw Ronan seize all her free time to study and enrich herself, and everyone around her could experience the improvement of all aspects of abilities.

Ronan left a piece of information and posted it with Hollywood Pictures, and the purpose of this trip was basically achieved.

The video cast lineup is unfamous and the investment scale is limited. How can I ask the distribution company to sign a contract directly without seeing the video?

This is just paving the way for the future.

After entering the parking lot, Ronan got into Mary's car. Mary started the car and asked, "Where will you go?"

Ronan pointed to the front: "Go to Xinyi Film."

Mary glanced at Ronan and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, you can always find the right publisher."

Ronan fastened his seat belt and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay, I can withstand failure, and they are not refusing."

Mary turned around and smiled at Ronan, stopped talking, and drove to Xinyi Film with concentration.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Ronan opened the information in his hand and carefully looked at the recent situation of Xinyi Film and the introductions of several persons in charge of the distribution department.

With the memories left by Anderson Jr., New Line Film is no stranger to him.

The publisher of the previous "Jedi" was Xinyi Film.

Like Hollywood Pictures affiliated with Disney, New Line Pictures is not an independent film company, but a subsidiary acquired by Warner Bros. However, Robert Shea and other management still retain relatively independent management rights.

Strictly speaking, Sony Movie Release and Hollywood Pictures, which have been to, have not actually rejected Ronan, nor have they ever said they wanted to release "Human Purge Plan". They have seen various materials brought by Ronan, and basically have an attitude. After the film is shot, they will talk about the quality of the film.

Hollywood can shoot thousands of films every year, but in the end it is only five or six hundred films released in theaters. There are too many films that want to squeeze into theaters, and the distribution company does not lack small productions that take the initiative to surrender.

Ronan claimed that the budget for the Human Purge Plan was 11 million US dollars, and it was no problem to fool outsiders, and even fool many people in the circle. However, it was basically impossible to fool experts from professional companies.

These experts are not bricks. Just look at the cast lineup, scripts, scene settings and shooting plans and other information, you can roughly calculate the real investment of the film.

Don’t provide materials? There is not even a complete film, so people from the distribution company are too lazy to talk about it.

Ronan was hosted by Sony's film release and Hollywood Studios, which was entirely due to the fact that some movement was made some time ago.

Luo Nan never thought of finding a publisher at one time. The main purpose of this time was to attract the attention of some distribution companies. After the film was actually shot and produced, Shahai Entertainment would have more choices.

When I came to Xinyi Film, because I had made an appointment before, Ronan successfully met a supervisor of Xinyi Film Distribution Department.

"Mr. Deron, we're meeting again." Ronan shook hands with a blonde man in his thirties.

The release of the previous "The Jedi" was also discussed with Anderson Jr.

Delong frowned and looked at Ronan and asked, "You have something to ask me for? "The Jedi" has copyright income and is ready to pay the share to Xinyi Film?"

Ronan waved at Mary, took the file bag handed over to Delong, and said, "This is a new film I invested in, you can see."

Delong's face looked a little ugly. He opened the file bag and looked at it. He said while looking: "Do you want to find Xinyi Film for distribution?"

"Yes." Ronan said bluntly: "We have worked together once and we know each other."

Delong's face became even more ugly: "Your "The Jedi" did not bring any profit."

Ronan smiled: "As far as I know, your company has not caused any losses."

Most of the movie's $800,000 box office revenue was acquired by Xinyi Film, and later it received some of the peripheral copyright revenue from him.

The total investment of Xinyi Film is definitely not that much.

The production company lost a lot of money in the same movie and was almost vomiting blood, but the distribution company could save the cost.

This is too common in Hollywood.

"You've messed up one." Delong just simply looked through the information and put it aside: "Tell me the truth, Ronan. Unless you are willing to sign a 40% distribution share agreement, the possibility of the company reissue your video is very small."

The lion's mouth was very wide open, and it was almost out of the scope of asking for prices.

Ronan was not angry either. It was of no use for commercial negotiations. He maintained a faint smile and said, "Don't rush to refuse, okay? It's not too late to make a decision after watching the film's finals. The director of this film is James Huang, who directed "X-Files".

This is one of the reasons why I need to find a director with some experience.

Delong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take it over and talk about it later when you finish the video."

Ronan took the initiative to say goodbye, stood up and shook hands with Delong: "I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."

Deron had a dark face and didn't say anything.

In the next ten days, Ronan traveled to all major and large film distribution companies in Los Angeles, and even the six major companies left a document.

As a person and company who has just entered theater movies, you can catch fish by casting a wide net.
