Today is the fourth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Tom Ford is considering Teddy Bell's words. The budget for "Single Man" is seven million dollars. If Eleven Studio is to invest for free, Tom Ford knows that it will be difficult, even if Eleven Studio is willing to accept the suggestion he gave Evan Bell to set up a fund , but Evan Bell also said something right: why did the "single man" become the first object of the eleventh studio to try crabs.

Therefore, if it is very difficult for Eleven Studio to invest in "single men" for free, there must be exchange conditions.

Tom Khan Deputy was not surprised by this, but he was considering what kind of conditions he should give, "film distribution rights?"

But Teddy Bell laughed, "Tom, if Eleven Studios invests in the distribution rights of 'Single Man', we would have priority, isn't that the truth? "Unless, like investors, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, gave up "Slumdog Millionaire...", Eleven Studios will not be able to take over the distribution rights to the film.

Tom Khan Fute is not a person in the film industry, and he only understands these things. Now he is reminded by Teddy Bell, and he immediately understands. He did not continue to struggle, but looked at Teddy Bell, He asked with his eyes, "Then what are the conditions you want?"

Teddy Bell didn't rush to open the conditions, but paused and thought, "Evan thinks there is still a lack of bright spots after reading your script." The main line of the script of "Single Man" is actually very simple. The professor who lost his **** lover decided to The day before the end of his own life, this sentence is finished, so there is really no bright spot in terms of conflicts and contradictions. Just when Tom Ford wanted to explain two sentences, Teddy Bell smiled and continued, "But many times, the relationship between the director and the script is often very subtle, and it can burst out that others can't. See the sparks."

In short, it is the same script, with different effects in the hands of different directors. Among the kings in the circle, Kar Wai's script is the most representative. For example, "In the Mood for Love" is actually not a complicated story, and it lacks bright spots if it is simply understood literally. However, when the script falls into the hands of the correct director, It has burst into the light of the world's film circles.

"Single men" can also be said to be the same. This story is in the hands of Tom Ford, which can let Tom Ford stand on the standpoint of homosexuality and convey the feeling of distress and struggle after love leaves, which is slightly different from heterosexuality, because in the story of the sixth century of the last century In the environment of the 1900s, it was even more difficult for homosexuals to find a lover who knew each other and stayed together. The depression, depression, struggle and pain in that environment were enlarged and expanded infinitely after the lover left, so that the professor could not bear to stay in this world.

It is not easy to tell such a story well. And "Brokeback Mountain" is the same reason. And Tom Ford, because he empathizes with his perspective, is bound to bring "single men" more fire that others can't see

"So, Evan feels that this script is very feasible in your hands. Even if you are a rookie director who has never filmed any work." Teddy Bell's words made Tom Ford smile. The most important thing about Evan-Bell's original words is that "this script is in your hands..." which makes Tom Ford and the "single man" closely linked, which also shows that Evan-Bell agrees to the The proposal was completely handed over to Tom Ford, which naturally reassured Tom Ford.

In fact, there are many directors suitable for the script "Single Man", such as Ang Lee, such as Gus-Vanthant Tom-Ford, a rookie director who has to stand in the back and can't even get a number in the queue. This is also the most important reason why major film companies are reluctant to invest in this project.

"As for your inexperience, it becomes the most important meaning of the Eleventh Fund's existence." Teddy Bell's next words completely disappeared the nervous expression on Tom Ford's face, and his spirits rose. Originally, Teddy Bell should have opened conditions, but he first conveyed Eleven Studio's willingness to commit to this project. This good news one after another made Tom Ford feel like he was walking on the clouds.

"The fund proposal that you and Evan mentioned last time, we discussed it and thought it was very feasible." Teddy Bell said simply, "The existence of this fund is to support those who have creative dreams, holding the My own proposal is a bold first step towards realizing a dream.”

In short, the Eleven Foundation will not interfere in the production of the project. They are only responsible for reviewing and then providing sponsorship. As for the original creator of the project, it is up to the original creator to decide who to choose as the director, as the producer, and as the starring role. In the "Single Man" project, Tom Ford was the original project proponent, so after Eleven Studios offered to provide sponsorship, Tom Ford took charge of all the implementation aspects. This is the real fulfillment of your dream.

Hearing Teddy Bell's brief description, Tom Ford didn't have a detailed understanding of the so-called Eleven Fund. After all, it was just a sentence. But that doesn't stop Tom Ford from knowing that the "single man" has received funding, and he will have full control over his role in the project. This is definitely a perfect sponsorship!

Tom Ford almost jumped up and screamed, but he didn't, not because Teddy Bell was on set or filming next door, but because he remembered the important thing of quid pro quo, "Then Eleven Works What is the room asking for?" Tom 'Ford suppressed his excitement' and took the initiative to bring the topic to the question.

Teddy Bell smiled, "First of all, of course Eleven Studio's priority distribution rights." This is a matter of course, Eleven Studio is not the Berlin Film Festival. The Berlin Film Festival provides sponsorship to shoot a film. The only requirement is that the film should be screened at the Berlin Film Festival. As for the distribution rights, it is handed over to major film companies to compete, and the income of the Berlin Film Festival is based on a certain percentage. Income, but never the bulk. And what Studio Eleven wants is the priority of distribution, but not necessarily all works will be distributed by themselves, and the finished product must be measured. It is inevitable that everyone will go wrong, or the shooting process and editing results may not be the same. As desired, it is also possible.

Tom Ford didn't speak, he still looked at Teddy Bell and heard him say, "The second is that no matter who the final distribution company is, the title of the title must be Eleven Fund."

"Eleven Fund? Not Eleven Studio?" Tom Ford was a little surprised, and his first reaction was blurted out.

Teddy Bell smiled, "Eleven Fund." He didn't say anything else: but not every work can be named Eleven Studio. You know, Eleven Studio is now a guarantee of quality. responsible to the audience. The title of the Eleventh Fund means that the Eleventh Fund supports and sponsors independent films and independent music in the future. Apart from that, there are no special commercial interests involved. "There are only these two."

"No more?" Tom Ford was stunned. In fact, these two items were not the same, and Eleven Studio almost asked for nothing in return. Because if there is really a release from Eleven Studios, the distribution dividends must also be distributed according to the rules in the circle. This is the same result in any company's release, and what Teddy Bell just asked for was "priority of distribution" and Not absolute distribution rights. In this way, if Eleven Studios gave up the distribution rights, it would mean that they made a free investment and only got a sponsorship from the "Eleventh Fund", and other than that, they got nothing.

However, Teddy Bell nodded with a smile, very firm, "No more." The Eleventh Foundation originally intended to be a long-term sponsorship without asking for any return. As for those benefits, it was irrelevant to charitable funds.

Tom Ford's smile was about to bloom, but he thought of a question, "If Eleven Studios gets the distribution rights, the dividend ratio..."

"We will negotiate according to the market level," Teddy Bell replied. In fact, there is still a bit of disagreement between them on this point. Evan Bell believes that if Eleven Studio releases, the proportion of dividends has dropped a little, that is, to allow the sponsors to get more dividends, he feels that since the It's all charitable work, so just charitable to the end, Eleven Studio's dividends only charge the cost. But the feasibility of this matter is not great, because the distribution system is not so simple and also involves manpower in publicity and other aspects. If you know that the works sponsored by the Eleven Fund are released by the Eleven Studio, and you can get more dividends, it is estimated that most of the works will choose the Eleven Studio. In this way, not to mention the problem of manpower, and even the 11th issue has to post some income backwards, which has a far-reaching impact.

So how to implement it, Teddy Bell still has to discuss with Thomas Lansing and others before making a decision. But what is certain is that Eleven Studio will never take advantage of Eleven Fund-sponsored works in terms of distribution, at most it will distribute dividends in accordance with the market ratio.

Hearing this, Tom Ford no longer had any worries. This kind of fund-style sponsorship without asking for return is definitely an ideal means of cooperation. And "Single Man" became the first work sponsored by the Eleven Fund, which has not yet gone through a lot of review and difficulties, which made Tom Ford happy.

"Yeah! It's really great." Tom Ford finally vented his inner joy, but after the twists and turns just now, there was no initial surprise, so the sound was not so loud, and it did not affect the shooting next door. . He stood up and gave Teddy Bell a big hug, "I wonder when we'll be able to sign?" After signing the contract, the funds will arrive and the movie will start shooting. Tom Ford can't wait.

Teddy Bell laughed, "I'll ask Eden about this." Today's 12,000. (To be continued [This text is provided by the Dawn Update Group @Existence Delicate].
