Thirteen. Entry
"George, you have heard what I just said in the conference room. I want the company to become stronger and bigger quickly. This requires efforts from many aspects, but the hardware aspect is currently the most demanding. Excellent talents in various industries
All talents are invited. And you will be very busy!"
Tang Shu opened his mouth and said,
Since the speech just now, George has gained a lot more confidence in Tang Shu and listened attentively.
"My father made some weird, um, or should I say realistic movies for me. I don't need them anymore. We need well-received movies to expand the company's reputation. Although this is my first time as a director,
But I am very confident, and I will soon make you confident in me.
However, I am very demanding and all aspects of preparation need to be done in advance. This year I plan to shoot three movies, and the preparation work is very complicated, so I guess you need to hire a few assistants.
I have prepared the script of the movie, here you go, take a look first."
With that said, Tang Shu took out the prepared script and handed it to George,
George was filled with wonder. Hearing what Tang Shu meant, he wrote this script himself. This is too weird. Adults may not like a script written by a child! But after taking the script and reading it, George immediately
I forgot that Tang Shu was still a child.
Well, the first script is called Saw, which sounds like a horror movie. Looking at the various horror descriptions in the script, George felt like vomiting, but this feeling is exactly what a horror movie needs. George is such a professional
Over the years, he has known that this kind of horror film can be very popular.
After watching Chainsaw, George calmed down the vomiting feeling that was still rising in his heart. George secretly glanced at Tang Shu who was drinking tea leisurely. He knew that Tang Shu would definitely not lie in this regard, so these scripts were written by this young man.
Come on.
I muttered in my heart, a thirteen-year-old boy actually wrote so many various and extremely terrifying murder methods, how dark this boy must be! Well, it seems a little disrespectful, maybe it is imagination, after all, Tang Shu looks very
The sunshine is lovely.
After reading the first script, George no longer looked down upon Tang Shu in his heart, but was filled with admiration. From the script, you can see the talent of this young man, who is definitely a genius. This kind of shooting focuses on the victim.
movie is still the first.
"Master Tang, this budget is too low, around 600,000, isn't it a bit small?" George said. You must know that although Hollywood today is not as big as it was seven or eight years ago, there are already signs of big productions.
, an investment of tens of millions of dollars is considered normal.
This budget of less than one million is really shabby.
Tang Shu shook his head. Chainsaw should have been filmed in 2004. At that time, it only cost about 1.2 million U.S. dollars. It had been inflation at that time, so it was so much. Today, U.S. dollars are still very valuable, and 600,000 U.S. dollars is already a lot.
Already.
"Don't worry, this is a small production in itself. I just let me practice and I can write well. It's not impossible that you want to make a big production. Take a look at the second script." Tang Shu said with a smile,
"Jurassic Park?" With the preparation of the first script, George was full of expectations for the second script. Of course, he hoped that this script would no longer be a horror movie.
Seeing George muttering in confusion, Tang Shu smiled. Since the novel version of Jurassic Park is no longer available, many people nowadays have forgotten the previous generation of the earth's masters - the dinosaurs. The novelty lies in a certain
To this extent, it is one of the reasons for the success of American movies.
Looking at the Jurassic Park script, George gradually became immersed in it and was obviously very attracted to it.
After a long time, George raised his head and exclaimed with joy, "It's great. This kind of science fiction adventure film has never been seen before. It must be very popular with everyone."
Of course it was popular, it was a blockbuster that set a historical box office record.
"Uh, the budget is 70 million US dollars?" George said. He was disgusted with the small budget just now, but now it has grown so much! Today, there is no investment of hundreds of millions of US dollars like the later generations, 70 million US dollars.
The budget was also something George had never heard of.
"Don't worry, George, I guarantee that the budget can be recovered. The box office of this blockbuster will definitely exceed your imagination, and 70 million is not a lot. I am not going to use props for this movie, but computer special effects. That way it will be perfect.
Moreover, this movie also requires renting islands and helicopters, etc., these investments are very high." Tang Shu explained,
Jurassic Park originally started shooting at the end of this year. Likewise, the production cost was about US$70 million, so it wasn't much at all.
"Why did I just say that you would be very busy? After you have finished preparing for the filming of Saw, you will immediately start the preparations for Jurassic Park. You need to rent the island and contact the computer special effects company. Then
But it's very busy, and that's not all. After you finish Jurassic Park, the third script is also very troublesome. This script is based on the novel, The Shawshank Redemption. You should have heard of this novel, so you have to
Get the adaptation rights!"
Tang Shu explains,
"This is not a simple matter. It seems that two years ago, a company began to request adaptation rights from the author, but it has never been completed, so this matter is not easy to do."
Now that Tang Shu has decided that he is the boss, George naturally can't say anything more. He can only try his best to do his job well. And after hearing Tang Shu's explanation, he also knew that his work will be very busy. It seems that
I really should find two assistants.
"In addition, I need two more experienced assistant directors. In the past few days, I will adapt to the company for a few days and get familiar with everyone. In a few days, I will be ready to start filming Saw. George, I need to trouble you again.
"Tang Shu said,
George nodded numbly. It had to be said that the preparation work for Tang Shu was too much, and it was so shocking that George couldn't even react.
Tang Shu smiled. He was not worried about any problems. Historically, the Saw movie was planned for five days and was completed in eighteen days. Moreover, it was also the director's debut. This movie was used to practice his skills.
It couldn't be more suitable. It not only saves time, but also achieves the goal of being proficient in Tang Shu. It is also very profitable. It is perfect.
George will be really busy, because he will have a lot of work. In addition to the pre-production, post-production publicity, and his original management work, Tang Shu will mourn for him. Forget it, he is a part-timer.
Then? It seems that it is necessary to give him a salary increase.
After sending George away, Tang Shu stayed in the office. Fortunately, this office also had computers, allowing Tang Shu to complete various tasks as quickly as possible. Tang Shu had to stay in the company these days, and he had promised to listen to opinions here before.
Chapter completed!
