Chapter 252

Although many blockbusters in the past can't be used because of the times, in Murphy's plan, the tone of the film won't change. Death watch is not only to satisfy the comic fans of the original book, but also to please the mainstream audience. It has to be broken from time to time. Of course, not all film projects can be guaranteed by insurance companies, and Hollywood's unreliable premature film projects are not without, such as If there is a problem in a project, it will be a big trouble for the insurance company.

Just like the Hollywood film companies will review the investment projects, every commercial company will not let go of the green light on business activities, and will not guarantee a project with only one script.

In order to obtain the support of AIA, so that the crew can pre sell and finance as soon as possible, Murphy and Kara Firth submitted a series of basic documents to AIA to evaluate the project.

The first is the final script that has been finalized, which is the premise for the crew to shoot.

During the shooting process, unless the director and investors reach a consensus on major changes, only minor changes can be made to the script submitted and confirmed. Projects like sunglasses king that start shooting without a script can not get a guarantee for the completion of the film. However, when Sunglasses king comes to Hollywood to make a film, he also needs to have a script first.

The second is the budget table of online and offline costs. In this respect, Murphy's plan has been formulated, and 20th century fox has made some revisions on this basis.

The third is the shooting plan of 20-100 days. Too short and too long is not conducive to risk control, and it is difficult to pass the internal audit of the insurance company.

Hollywood's film shooting cycle is generally between 30-80 days, and the shooting plan provided based on it is very accurate, so as to ensure the accurate operation of shooting. For investors, the overdue and overspending out of the plan may cause the project to be beyond recognition in the final financial book, which means that the investment risk increases sharply.

Murphy's plan is to finish shooting in two months, which is no problem at all.

Finally, the shooting budget.

The more detailed the budget statement during shooting, the more favorable it is for the completion guarantee company to evaluate the rationality of the project. The completion guarantee company will monitor the implementation of the project by comparing the daily report during shooting. If there is any change, the completion guarantee company will first communicate with the producer and director to see how to complete the plan in the remaining shooting.

However, if the problem is very serious and the contradiction is irreconcilable, the guarantor will freeze the co managed bank account or even take over the whole project.

Because Murphy and Carla Firth are well prepared, and "the dead man" is a project from 20th century fox, the crew soon signed a formal agreement with AIA.

It's probably a personal relationship. For the first time, Murphy took this agreement very seriously, especially the part that will have a significant impact on his director.

During the shooting period of "death watch", the completion guarantor will send representatives to the production team to supervise. The producer and the director team must submit daily reports, relevant information of the production team and the shooting plan for the next day. The completion guarantor will check whether it is consistent with the plan to ensure that it is carried out according to the expected goal and setting.

According to the agreement between the two parties, in order to effectively make Kara Firth's production department and Murphy's creative department implement the budget on schedule, the completion guarantee company will establish a joint management account with the Bank of the crew, and the investment funds of the presale and investors will be paid into the joint management account after the completion guarantee Party confirms the producer's performance.

AIA can not only show transparency, but also restrict the crew's withdrawal of investment funds with the bank account of substantial intervention. Once Murphy and Carla Firth violate the plan to overspend or delay, which endangers the interests of investors, the completion guarantor has the right to freeze the account and take over the film according to the completion guarantee agreement, including changing the director and producer The finished film shall be delivered to the distribution company to bear the expenses for the completion of the film after taking over and protect the interests of investors.

Of course, this situation is only the bottom line of the completion guarantee agreement. Unless it must be triggered, the completion guarantor will not exercise it.

With this kind of supervision and restriction on the producers and the crew, Hollywood does not lack a steady stream of investment.

Murphy and Kara Firth seem to have found a sword of Damocles for their own crew, but in fact they have set up a guarantee for investment. This is a real commercial society, whose money is not blown by the wind, and investors are not fools. (to be continued). )
