"US $8.4 million"

Murphy simply can't believe that the total investment in the film is only US $60 million, and the tax rebate in Australia is so high, "how did they calculate it"

"remember that we made a statement of our intention to hire Australian staff and die at Fox Studios in Sydney?" karafes knows Murphy's understanding of this No, simply use the simplest way to explain, "and the entire shooting and consumption plan of the crew in Australia in the future."

"Well." Murphy nodded. "I've seen a very detailed and rigorous plan."

He actually participated in the formulation of many things in these two materials.

"The simplest way to calculate it," karafis said as succinctly as possible. "In Australia, for some film companies and film projects that are in line with the policy of shooting films locally, the highest tax rebate rate in Australia can reach 40%. In the 20th century, fox cooperated with the Australian government for many years and invested in the construction of fox studio in Sydney, That's the movie company. "

When she saw Murphy asking questions again, she quickly said, "I'm not talking about 40% of the total production cost of the film. I'm talking about 40% of the remuneration and total consumption of the crew in Australia."

Murphy understood and nodded. If it is 40% of the production cost of a film, it would be an exaggeration, and the Australian government is not a big wrongdoer.

"Now I've got the money," Murphy asked, "there's no need to wait for the shooting to be finished so soon"

"I couldn't get it. It's only when the crew finishes shooting in Australia that this part of the tax refund will be paid." But my company and I sold this tax rebate to a local telecom company in Sydney and got $7.5 million in cash

That's fine. Murphy found that he didn't understand the rules of the six companies' game.

After struggling in the independent film industry for some time, he thought he had enough knowledge of Hollywood. Now he has entered the mainstream commercial film industry and found that he is still a rookie.

On the way back to Los Angeles, Murphy consulted kalafes enough. Although kalafes has only recently entered the Hollywood circle, she has a deeper understanding of the game rules of the six major companies because of her position.

In other words, if she doesn't understand all this, what does she use to compete with the director of devcola.

In order to attract overseas film production funds to invest in the Australian market, the Australian Film International Cooperation Agency and the Australian government have promoted a "film production incentive plan", which can provide a series of tax rebates for projects approved by them, A maximum of 40% consumption refund is provided for eligible film projects in Australia, but the compensation must be tested by the Australian content Commission.

During this period of time in Australia, kalafes was mainly engaged in this work.

According to kalafes, the tax rebate of death server is nothing among the six major companies. In order to attract the super giants of the six major companies, many overseas countries and some states in the United States sometimes offer preferential policies that can reach 30% of the project production cost, which is a very amazing proportion.

However, just like the duty-free allowance for dead attendants and the funds kalafes got, if he doesn't want to wait for the end of the project shooting, but wants to transfer this part of the funds into the production investment as part of the financing, he still needs some other operations.

According to the regulations of the 20th century, there is no tax-free Commission for the resale of the project to the relevant third-party brokers.

The local company, that is, the telecom company, who bought this part of the tax preference, only needs to pay 90% of the tax allowance, and the other 10% of the difference becomes the tax they can reduce.

Generally speaking, it is a good thing to kill a few birds with one stone. Since the Australian government has launched this policy, it is certainly beneficial to the local development.

Therefore, the part of the funds that kalafes got became the so-called tax financing.

This is also one of the financing methods of mainstream Hollywood commercial films.

Of course, this is not the mainstream way. The number of preferential tax rebates for films in each country is limited, which is often the target of many companies. Even if they are as strong as the six major Hollywood companies and have a broad network of relationships, many of their projects still can't get tax rebates.

If it wasn't for carafes's fight, the dead waiter would not get it either, and the price she paid would be another project: Alien war, iron soldier, becoming one of the projects that fox didn't enjoy tax rebate in the 20th century.

People are always biased, especially people like Murphy and carafes. The standard of judging a thing is absolutely impossible to be fair and just. They always start from the distance of the relationship.Back in Los Angeles, after a day's rest, Murphy got involved in the preparations for the death party.

First of all, he reviewed the actors of some unimportant roles determined by the audition hosted by Seth Logan. In most films, it doesn't matter who plays the passers-by actors or the soy sauce crowd of some lines. The selection of these actors by the crew is basically based on the personal image, whether there are recommendations and the price of the film.

Dead attendants are no exception. Murphy looks at the list, looks at the audition video, signs the cast, and sends it to carafes for final review.

All the documents he signed, as long as they do not involve a large amount of funds, karafis will basically pass.

Then, I had a special exchange with Robert Downey Jr., Jessica Alba, dawn Johnson and Gina carrano. The most important thing was to see them and their stunt doubles' training results.

Like all the action plays in Hollywood action movies, which involve highly difficult and dangerous action scenes, stunt doubles will be used. Even if the actors want to go on the stage in person, Murphy and the crew will not allow them.

If stunt doubles are injured, they will lose money, and then find another candidate. If the leading actor is injured, it will waste not only money, but also more precious time.

Although 20th century fox has not yet finalized the release time of the film, according to Murphy's own plan, it will not exceed next year's summer release at the latest.

As there is still a big wave of films to be released next year, fox in the 20th century is not in a hurry. In their eyes, a film like death watch must carefully choose a suitable schedule, otherwise it will be affected if it collides with super production.

In addition, another thing that needs to be accepted by Murphy is the shape of the dead waiter.

The modeling group headed by Jack Watson has fully absorbed the characteristics of comics, and created a set of superhero uniform that belongs to the dead waiter alone according to the requirements of Murphy. The characteristics of this uniform are charm and enchantment, playfulness and cute.

After determining the shape of the dead waiter, Murphy immediately arranged the cameramen of the crew to shoot publicity materials for Robert Downey Jr., and asked karafes to contact 20th Century Fox for the first time, so that these films could be pushed as the latest film publicity, and appeared on paper media, TV media and Internet media as soon as possible.

The box office and word-of-mouth have been very popular, and the ingenious publicity and marketing have played an extremely important role.

Today's social media is only widely spread by blogs, which certainly can't achieve the overwhelming effect in the future. However, traditional media is also not as declining as in the future. Proper use of traditional media is also a way to make up for it.

And since 9 / 11, blog's influence on the Internet can not be underestimated.

The crew's propaganda team has long established a blog for the dead waiter, and Robert Downey Jr. has his own blog.

After the official make-up fixing, both of them updated a new make-up fixing photo, which was also reproduced by many traditional media under the careful control of the Publicity Department of fox in the 20th century.

"Robert Downey Jr. reveals that the dead waiter's make-up photos lie in front of the fireplace with enchanting and moving eyebrows, one high and one low, and playful and cheap"

in the latest Premiere Magazine, the make-up photos taken by Robert Downey Jr. for the dead waiter have become the cover, on which the dead waiter lies in front of the fireplace with enchanting posture and one high and one low eyebrows, showing his "cheap and cute" characteristics.

"Recently, Robert Downey Jr., the star of the dead waiter, has exposed a fixed make-up photo of the dead waiter on social media. The uniform is faithful to the original work, and the enchanting reclining position in front of the fireplace shows the characteristics of the dead waiter.

"In the photo, the red and black uniform is very consistent with the original character's setting, while the dead waiter with a high eyebrow and a low eyebrow shows a playful and cheap look, lying on the side of a bear skin, with extremely charming posture."

"It is reported that the director of the death watch will be Murphy Stanton, and this young director will continue his consistent style. The film is bound to be a large-scale R-class film, which can also restore a real death watch as much as possible"

taking this opportunity, 20th Century Fox also increased the publicity of the film, striving to let the vast majority of people know that the humble is coming.

On the other hand, in an interview, Robert Downey Jr. also said that the death watch movie will have an intersection with the X-Men series, and he is very looking forward to showing the various abilities of the death watch on the big screen, especially the ability to shoot through the fourth wall.

After a period of preparation, Murphy also gave a special interview when the crew was going to Australia. It's not finished yet. If you like this work, welcome to the starting point. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read.
