As the screen returns to darkness, Harvey Weinstein sits there but does not move. Instead, he turns to look at Jones Butler and fully agrees with what she said. If the front of the film can be regarded as a first-class horror film, the final amazing ending will sublimate the whole film. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a super accurate small production. (see the latest chapter of Literature) www.wenxue 6. Com)
his head turns again, and his eyes fall on Murphy, who controls the camera.
Think about the movie "fruit candy" a few months ago. He is still a director who only knows one line narration, and even one line narration is not very good. He has to rely on sensitive themes to attract the audience. Now, all kinds of cross montages are skillfully used, and almost perfectly integrate the advantages of suspense film in the main plot, especially the final ending. It's amazing.
Film is not without defects, such as low-cost film inevitable rough, but excellent creativity and clever use of the lens to cover up these.
Harvey Weinstein couldn't sit down any more, didn't ask Jones Butler to introduce him, and strode toward Murphy.
"Hello, director Stanton."
He came over and offered Murphy a hand. Murphy stepped forward and shook Harvey Weinstein's right hand. "Call me Murphy."
Harvey Weinstein nodded and said, "I want to talk to you."
Murphy just wanted it.
Instead of referring to Miramax's assessment, Harvey Weinstein beckoned to Jones Butler and led Murphy into a nearby reception room.
Jones Butler made a cup of coffee for Murphy and put it on the coffee table in front of him. Harvey Weinstein looked at the guy in his early twenties, but did not rush to speak.
They didn't speak. Murphy kept silent except to say thank you to Jones Butler.
Harvey Weinstein's head has been spinning at a high speed. He has operated numerous films and has a certain ability to judge the possible market value of many films. These may not be accurate, but they rarely fail.
If a film wants to reflect the real market value, operation and marketing are the key, but it will not ignore the role of the film itself. Those films that do not have selling points and do not meet the market, even if the publicity is excellent, they will inevitably hit the streets in the end.
There is no doubt that there are plenty of selling points in this movie, which is of great operational value.
Even, from this film, he thought of "scream" released by the company a few years ago, which were equally amazing in the type of horror films.
The only difference is that Wes Craven, the director of scream, is a master in the field of horror films, while the opposite is an unknown new director.
Harvey Weinstein's face is calm, these ideas will certainly not appear in the face, he is thinking the most, or how to get the film's copyright at the least cost.
"A great horror movie." He leaned on the sofa and broke the silence. "Murphy, you're making rapid progress. Are you interested in working with Miramax?"
Murphy looked surprised. "If I can get the approval of a professional like you, my entire crew will go crazy."
He pauses, swallows, and says, "I really, really want to work with Miramax."
"Very good," said Harvey Weinstein with a smile on his face. "I can give you a guarantee that this film will be shown in no less than 500 theaters. Audiences all over North America can see this film and know you as an excellent director."
"That's great!" Murphy laughed happily.
He smiles excitedly, but his heart is calm. Harvey Weinstein is using fame as a bait.
How many people in Hollywood don't want to be famous? The fat man sitting on the sofa knows this very well. He and Miramax don't care about the name. What they want most is Lee.
Harvey Weinstein has met countless new entrants to Hollywood, few of them who can resist the temptation of fame, to be exact, none of them, including Quentin Tarantino, who is popular with him.
Hollywood has a lot to do with fame and wealth, but it's not much for a new comer. As long as he wants more in name, he will naturally compromise with Miramax.
Miramax is one of the top independent film distributors in the industry. Behind it is a group company like Disney. Harvey Weinstein believes that the other side must know this.
Seeing Murphy's excited expression, he also showed a smile. The self-confidence of a successful person was unconsciously brought out.
"Murphy, make a price for this movie." He's completely in charge.
Miramurphy said with a smile on his face, "what's the meaning of buying the film?"
Harvey Weinstein gently nodded his head. It is obvious that only by buying out can Miramax operate freely and maximize profits.This difficult film road is not only for the unfulfilled film dream on the other side of the Pacific, but also for the better life. He is the only one who is most familiar with this road and is most likely to succeed.
Miramax has outstanding independent film operation ability, which Harvey Weinstein said is possible. Murphy believes that as long as the film copyright is sold to Miramax, he will emerge in Hollywood like the former director.
From this point of view, it is not unacceptable to sell out the copyright, but the price of selling out
How much can an independent movie sell? Murphy doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, and doesn't expect the issuing company or people like Harvey Weinstein to find out their conscience.
He thought for half a minute and said slowly, "thirty million dollars!"
If Miramax is willing to offer such a price, Murphy can fully accept it. Such a sum of money is enough to make him carry out more plans and really have a foothold in Hollywood, so as to move forward step by step. If he is lucky, he may become a famous and profitable director like James Cameron or Steven Spielberg in the future.
In the future, I can imagine Oscar winners.
How many directors don't want to get the best director xiaojinren? Maybe someone didn't want to. Murphy asked herself that she really wanted to try to feel the little golden man.
In a short moment, countless things floated in his mind, such as future success, future fame and fortune, future status, and future ability to stand in the film circle and look down
In this commercial country, all this needs money as a foundation.
Is there a precedent for us $30 million to buy out a small independent production? Murphy didn't hear of it, but he still said the number.
Others may think he's crazy, but in Murphy's mind, the film is worth the number.
What's more, it's the most normal thing in the negotiation to ask for money on the spot.
Harvey Weinstein's back had left the sofa, and his eyes were as bright as the sun outside, looking straight at Murphy. (to be continued). )
