March has already entered, and before the Oscars, the main actors of "Escape Room" are finally in place.

Although it seems that only Casey Affleck is slightly famous now, the time progress bar has been pushed back more than ten years, and they are basically all famous actors. This lineup will definitely attract those movie lovers who like archeology and add more to the movie.

Clicks and exposure make the long tail effect more lasting.

Wang Quan is very satisfied with this lineup. The key is that it is cheap, and the total cost is less than one million.

And through the "future survey" of the actors, he also discovered two popular TV series, "The Big Bang Theory" and "Game of Thrones".

TV dramas are an area that Wang Quan usually pays less attention to, but now it seems that many TV dramas in the future will be well-produced and the investment will be no worse than movies. Even many great directors he admires have also devoted themselves to TV dramas and put their artistic lives in this

One area is extended.

Wang Quan hasn't thought about whether he wants to make a TV series, but it will definitely be a good thing for the company, so he pulled Boss Tao and asked, "Actually, our company can also make TV series, right?"

"Of course, companies like Lionsgate and Bad Robot have TV series businesses," Dorothy said.

In her opinion, the company's short-term goal is Bad Robot, its long-term goal is Lionsgate, and its ultimate goal is DreamWorks. Its dream is to be on an equal footing with the Big Six, so she often compares Bad Robot and Lionsgate.

She added, "It's just that we are still short of manpower, less than ten people in total, especially the lack of reliable directors and producers. Of course, the most important thing is the lack of money."

Wang Quan nodded, "But now we can lay out the copyright first."

"We don't have much money~" Thinking of the price of the Twilight series, Dorothy had a headache.

Wang Quan thought about it, forget it, he should handle the copyright issue himself, so he doesn’t need to use Long Tiandou’s money.

In order to make himself more generous, Wang Quan contacted his agent Lafite and planned to write a comedy script, which is the kind of script that can make money, but only a small profit. Now that Wang Quan has been nominated for an Oscar, he has also become an Oscar judge, and his net worth is steep.

Increase, you can bid a higher price.

The Oscars are finally here. Although Wang Quan was also a nominee, he stayed away from the whole process. He and the company did not waste a penny or a minute on this matter.

The biggest benefit to Wang Quan from being nominated is that he will automatically become an Oscar judge and enjoy lifelong voting rights. However, this will start from the next term. In the next term, he will be a judge in the screenwriting department, and he will have the right to judge the best adapted screenplay, best screenplay, and best screenplay.

Voting rights for original screenplay and best picture awards.

The biggest favorite for the Best Original Screenplay award is the 2004 movie "Crash". Because "Crash" premiered in Maple Leaf Country, it did not meet the selection criteria for the 2005 Oscars. It did not win the 06 award until it was released on a small scale in Los Angeles last year.

Tickets for this year's Oscars.

After that, it made a counterattack and became the second most popular Oscar candidate this year, second only to Li Yi's "Brokeback Mountain".

"Will you attend the Oscars tomorrow night?" Wang Quan asked Boss Tao.

She shook her head, "I have an appointment, and I've attended it with Lao Si twice before. It's not interesting. When I went there, I sat in the back. I'm not in the same area as your nominees. When did your movie get the best picture nomination?"

I will definitely dress up beautifully to receive the award, but this time you go alone, Director Si and Director Lang know you so well, they will take care of you."

"Dating again, I'm jealous~" Wang Quan sighed. Although there was a Ma Ling dangling in front of him in the company, he really didn't dare to touch it again. Office romance is not terrible, but it is more embarrassing for bosses and employees to get together.

.

"Okay, can you leave now?" Wang Quan asked again.

"You go first. I'm going to make a complete budget today and see how much money I need to spend."

The Hollywood film industry process generally consists of five stages, namely:

1. Development stage (the whole process from story idea to movie script).

2. Pre-production stage (selecting actors, selecting locations, production schedule).

3. Shooting stage.

4. Post-production stage (special effects, soundtrack, editing).

5. The distribution stage includes two parts: publicity and distribution.

Because this is the first time for the company to test water issuance, it is a process of building a network from scratch. The cost of this part is unknown and may be far beyond the norm, so now we can only make budgets for the first four stages.

As a producer, Dorothy needs to consider all areas where money is spent, and this crew has far more actors and staff than "Basement", and many new types of jobs will emerge as a result.

expenses.

Such as stunt actors, stunt coordinators, special effects equipment rental, etc.

Although Gadot has some skills, he must hire a stunt double to complete dangerous actions. The original movie may not be necessary, but Wang Quan added several thrilling scenes for the viewing experience.

This does not mean that actors are superior to stuntmen, but if the leading actor is injured, the loss to the crew will be too great. In a small business, we cannot afford such a big risk.

Of course, the greater the cost, the more cautious you will be. Failure to abide by Hollywood rules will result in being rejected by the insurance company, which will cause a series of troubles.

The crew of "Escape Room" is still a small crew. In the end, Dorothy listed the script, production department, director team, cast, travel, studio, costumes, makeup and hair, electrical equipment, scenery, special effects, photography, sound,

22 major items including transportation, location, music, editing, post-production special effects, image output, property, insurance, and general administration. (Note 1)

Broken down, there are almost more than 80 small projects, which may involve no less than a hundred staff members, of course, they are basically all hired from outside.

Among them, the largest single expenditure is the fees for King Power's producer, director, and screenwriter, totaling US$880,000.

The final budget was set at 6 million (excluding publicity and distribution). The main reason was that Hussein borne the cost of setting up the scenery, which should have been the largest expenditure. If included, the cost is estimated to exceed 10 million.

, and when promoting, you can consider whether to promote less or to promote more.

Dorothy shook her numb wrist. This time I will do it by myself. I will have to recruit a few more employees to share the burden for the next movie.

At this time, her cell phone rang. When she saw the name on the caller ID, she answered the call with a smile, "Hey, baby~"

The 78th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on the evening of March 5th, US time.

China time is the morning of March 6th, which is a weekend.

In Beijing, at the home of Wang Quan's cousin Mayo, his wife Xu Yi gave important instructions. No one in the house was allowed to go out today. They all watched the TV broadcast of the Six Princesses' Oscar broadcast.

In previous years, the Six Princesses would also broadcast the Oscars, but this year is different.

Xu Yi is a section chief of the film bureau, and the film bureau is responsible for the operation and daily management of the Six Princesses. She received the news early that this year's Oscar broadcast is different from previous years. In previous years, it was usually held on the second day of the Oscar broadcast.

There was a 24-hour interval between broadcasts.

But this year it’s only one hour apart!

Xu Yi heard that there will be such big changes this year, mainly because there are Li Jian and Wang Quan on the shortlist, and the award presenter is Zhang Ziyi, and the Chinese account for a large proportion.

Although Wang Quan's shortlisted awards are far less important than Li Bian's, he has a good reputation and is young and promising. Recently, he often hears his name from the leaders of the bureau.

Xu Yi put her arms around her husband's shoulders, "Our Quan'er has given Lao Mei some face this time!"

Mayo sighed, "But I have made an appointment with Lao Tan to go fishing in Miyun~"

Daughter Mei Xi patted her father's other shoulder, "Li Yuchun came to Beijing today, and my classmates all went to pick him up. I didn't even go. If you still want to go fishing, just watch TV, but if it's my brother-in-law

If I can win an Oscar, I will be able to boast in the class from now on!"

Middle school students are at the age where they love to compare and chase stars.

Mayo glanced at his wife, "Chief Xu, do you have any inside information? Can Quan'er win the award this time?"

"Who do you think I am, Xiaobu Shi? How could I know such a thing? But Quan'er is from China, so foreigners probably won't give him the award so easily." Xu Yi was actually not optimistic about it.

Mayo, "It's better to go fishing and watch the replay at night."

Xu Yi was angry, "Is he your brother or mine? Is there anything wrong with supporting my brother?"

Mei Xi echoed the family leader, "That's right, I don't even look at Li Yuchun."

Mayo said in his heart, I don't support my brother enough. Sina News has already said hello, and the headlines have been prepared for Quan'er. As long as he wins the award, the page will definitely be higher than Li's. But you also said,

Isn’t there little hope? It’s better to go fishing. You don’t understand the joy of fishing.

At the same time, the dormitory building for girls in Chinese drama.

There are three classes in the 02-level undergraduate performance class of the Chinese Opera Department: 1 drama class, 2 musical theater classes, and 3 film and television performance classes.

As a graduating class, there was a graduation drama to be arranged, so everyone was relatively crowded. Bai Baihe from Class 1 came back from outside and hurriedly said, "Has it started, has it started!"

Guo Zhenni glanced at her and said, "Baixue, are you in the wrong dormitory?" This is the dormitory of Class 3.

Bai Baihe, "Oh, the TV in our dormitory is silent. Let's squeeze in with you. Tangtang, don't be in a daze. Move your butt and make room."

Bai Jing, who was sitting across from him, sighed, "This time the Oscars are so lively. Among the three Chinese, I don't know who will have the last laugh."

Xu Baihui: "Anyway, I know that Senior Sister Ziyi, who is the award guest, will definitely have the last laugh."

Bai Baihe, "I think Director Li Ying will probably win the award, but it's hard to say about the rest."
Chapter completed!
