Chapter 450

This is century city. There are not only movie companies like 20th century fox, but also a number of entertainment agencies, large and small. In the eyes of those who want to go to Hollywood, it must be a place full of opportunities, especially those who are full of talent and full of fantasy about the future. They need an opportunity extremely.

In the past, Murphy has encountered this kind of situation, so when he heard that young people introduced themselves as a screenwriter and director, he slowly put away the warm smile he would have when facing fans.

"My name is Krishna Wilkinson, from Massachusetts..." Young people continue to do self introduction, and the words are full of confidence, "I have experienced professional study in the Film Institute of New York University, majoring in screenwriting and directing."

Murphy nodded his head gently. There are not many famous Hollywood directors who came from the Film Institute of New York University. The most famous one he knows is undoubtedly Ang Lee.

There is also a saying in Hollywood that compared with the school of film of the University of Southern California, which is closer to Hollywood, the students from the Film Institute of New York University are often not very practical.

In a place like Hollywood, if you don't follow the actual situation and only rely on your own imagination, you can imagine the result.

Although he thought so in his head, Murphy didn't show it. He just looked at the young man named cletna Wilkinson. Anyway, he had plenty of time today and wanted to see if the other person could really surprise him.

Cretna Wilkinson is very young and looks about 25 years old. He has a trace of unassailable pride on his face and speaks confidently. "When I was a student in the Film Institute of New York University, I wrote and directed three experimental films, each of which aroused strong repercussions in the school. Therefore, I was co recommended by five professors..."

Murphy frowned slightly. Cletna Wilkinson was too wordy. If he hadn't had time today, he would have been impatient.

Krishna Wilkinson is still talking about the capital he accumulated in school. Unfortunately, Murphy is not interested at all. Any Hollywood producer would not be interested.

There are many excellent film students who graduate from professional universities every year, but few of them can make it.

A fool will only listen to him live a few words, look at his brilliant experience in school, think that this is a super genius.

So, Murphy interrupted Krishna Wilkinson and asked, "what can I do for you?"

Hearing Murphy's question, cletna Wilkinson swallowed hard, pressed those brilliant experiences back to his stomach, opened the brand-new briefcase, took out a stack of binding and printing paper from it, and handed it to Murphy.

"This is a play I wrote." Krishna Wilkinson explained, "director Stanton, please have a look."

The executives of other film companies will not take over at all, but Murphy is different. After all, he has experienced the situation of no one at the bottom. He knows that it is not easy to start a project. If the project can really move him, he is willing to give opportunities to young people.

Murphy took the script, pointed to the opposite seat, "you sit first, I'll see."

"Well!" Krishna Wilkinson obviously had confidence in his script, sat opposite and waited with ease.

Open the script, Murphy with a very fast speed to browse up, but only read three pages, frowned, the script is not linear narrative!

After turning back more than 20 pages, his brow wrinkled deeper, which is still a science fiction type of subject matter!

Based on years of experience, Murphy immediately came to the conclusion that special effects should be widely used, and a large number of special effects also means super high investment.

Science fiction, non-linear narration, obscure plot, relatively high production cost

These are completely equated with super large risks!

No investor will like the huge risk, Murphy is no exception, especially behind the risk, there is no corresponding huge return.

He closed the script and just wanted to give it back to Krishna Wilkinson. Unexpectedly, Krishna Wilkinson was the first to speak.

"Director Stanton..." The young man was really full of self-confidence. "If you want to buy this script, I'm the most basic premise to be a director! Otherwise, I will not sell it! "

"Er..." Murphy was not only stunned, but even a little surprised.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years. It's not that no screenwriter or director has come to sell his own project, but this is the first time that he has encountered this strange situation.

Maybe he was infected by little Robert Downey. Murphy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked with evil taste, "do you have any other conditions? You say it together. "

"Of course "If your company wants to invest in my script, I have to work as a screenwriter and director at the same time. I don't need to pay for the director's work..."This is the most reliable sentence that Murphy heard from kritna Wilkinson.

But the other party's next words made him wonder if he had met the legendary "super genius"!

"My condition is that your company and I sign a gambling dividend agreement." The film's North American box office is more than 25 million dollars, one percent of which belongs to my dividend. More than 50 million US dollars rose to 2 percent, 75 million US dollars was 3 percent, and 100 million US dollars was 4 percent. "

Krishna Wilkinson looks at Murphy. According to his ideas and his understanding of Hollywood from the Internet, facing such an excellent script, Murphy Stanton and the Stanton studio behind him will certainly agree, because he is confident that the film will succeed, and the other party should also be able to think that the film will succeed in the future, and Stanton studio will take it away It's absolutely no problem that he takes away a small part of the big income.

No matter the students in the school, or the professor in the Film Institute of New York University, or most of the audience who have seen his experimental film, all think that he is a genius!

These people can see that he is a genius, and Murphy Stanton is no exception!

Of course, he called out such a high price, but also to leave room for the other side to bargain. As long as Murphy Stanton's sincerity is enough, he can not give in appropriately.

Even if Murphy Stanton doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. With such an excellent script and his own super talent, Hollywood's major companies are still scrambling for the door-to-door sales?

Murphy is quite speechless. He really doesn't know whether his IQ is wrong or that of the opposite genius

He pushed the script to Krishna Wilkinson, who asked, "director Stanton, is my script OK? Can we work together? "

"Script..." Murphy shook his head and said, "since you are going to direct this film, can I see your project plan?"

Krishna Wilkinson was stunned by Murphy, "project plan?"

A screenwriter and director who has come to Hollywood to raise money to invest in his own project does not even have the most basic project plan. Is it true that Hollywood's production companies are charities?

Murphy didn't even have a basic project plan. He had only one script in his hand, so he came to invest in directing. It was really a genius.

What's more, the script is too creative. He doesn't want to take the risk of creativity and new people. It's estimated that 99% of Hollywood producers won't take it.

In addition, even the most basic project plan is not available, and the remaining 1% is not in suspense.

"That's all for today." Murphy stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Cletna Wilkinson was stunned. He didn't seem to understand what Murphy meant. When Murphy stepped out of the card, he woke up.

Murphy Stanton doesn't want to work with him! Krishna Wilkinson immediately realized this.

But he didn't move. He just looked at Murphy, picked up the script and put it in his briefcase, with more pride on his face.

Maybe I didn't expect to come in with Murphy Stanton from the outside and wait so long to get such a result. Krishna Wilkinson muttered subconsciously, "a director doesn't know how to respect art! I don't know the importance of talent creation. It's not worthy of the name! "

It's like talking to yourself, but it can be heard by Murphy.

Murphy didn't look back. If she had the same insight as such a "super genius", she would turn herself into such a "super genius".

Like Krishna Wilkinson, who thinks that with a script he can get investment, even without planning or anything else, as long as he has a mouth, Murphy really doesn't know whether he is naive or an idiot.

After leaving the coffee shop, Murphy no longer cares about this young man named cletna Wilkinson. Hollywood has countless young people with beautiful dreams coming here every day. Although there are few successful people, such naive people as cletna Wilkinson can only be described as extremely rare.

If Krishna Wilkinson comes up with a routine script, a detailed plan, and no unrealistic conditions, Murphy may consider it.

As for each other's talent and creativity, these have never been lacking in Hollywood.

Many people think that as long as they are talented, they will shine in Hollywood, and good stories and good movies will kill Hollywood and even the whole world. However, after nearly ten years in Hollywood, Murphy's head was broken at first, and now he is climbing to the top of the circle, and he has a profound understanding of this.

Hollywood is really a place about art and talent, but in fact, making movies is a business, not an art. (to be continued). )
