Stars start from saving facial paralysis

Chapter 543 Peter the Great's Request

"Peter Jackson, now 57 years old, is the founder of epic movies. Today, seven epic movies are recognized by movie fans and the industry, two of which come from him."

"The epic war movie "The Destruction of Indians" eight years ago made fans praise him as God, and he was called Peter the Great."

Tang's president's office is extremely spacious.

Chen Fan did not sit in the main seat, but sat on the sofa with Guo Liangsheng.

The latter handed the prepared materials to Chen Fan, and began to introduce this person slowly.

Even the most ignorant movie fans are familiar with the name of Peter the Great.

Chen Fan has naturally heard this name before, after all, he had heard it several times among other filmmakers more or less when he was in the film crew.

"This great director has been silent since he finished filming "The Destruction of Indians."

"Until this year, many movie fans still feel that the great emperor is probably brewing some kind of masterpiece."

"Eight years have passed, and on Peter's blog, there are a lot of fans who leave messages and look forward to it."

"Although the movie "Lord of the Rings" is a fantasy movie, it involves some magnificent scenes of war, some of which are expected to have some similarities with the original "Indian Destruction", which is why I will invite him s reason."

Chen Fan nodded slightly while listening.

When he was young, he had the strongest actor system, and he knew that in the future, he would take the road of film and television industry. After all, if he had a golden finger, wouldn't it be a waste of shortcuts in life?

So at that time, he had seen some very well-known movies.

The movie "Indian Destruction" was released seven years ago. At that time, Chen Fan just started to suffer from facial paralysis, but at that time he was full of confidence, thinking that relying on the system should still have a chance to cure facial paralysis.

So in the process of treatment, he will still go to the cinema to watch movies.

Naturally, this blockbuster was not missed.

Chen Fan recalled the scene of recovery in his mind.

The war scenes between several major forces in "The Lord of the Rings", if the appearance of each race is removed, the war scenes are indeed quite similar to the wars between human races in the cold weapon era in history.

Although hot weapons have appeared in the war in the movie "The Destruction of Indians", the main weapons of the Indians are still cold weapons.

Among them, there are indeed some commonalities.

"What demands did this Peter the Great make?"

"In addition to the common casting rights and the right to use funds, he even rarely proposed the need to increase crew members."

"Originally, this matter is not a big deal. I added some photography to the "Lord of the Rings" crew, and the field affairs are not a big problem."

"But what Peter meant, he plans to triple the number of crew members!"

It turned out to be the case.

Now through Guo Liangsheng's efforts, Tang also has ten crews.

But it also took a lot of twists and turns.

If what Peter meant was just a lack of manpower, then just recruit some more.

Although after Tang's ups and downs, there are not many freelance crew members in the Yingguo film and television market, but there will still be more or less leftovers.

If it doesn't work, let Sheng Tang and MGM help, it's not a big problem.

But expanding to triple the number of people is not such a simple matter.

Firstly, it is really difficult to recruit crew members, and secondly, even if all the crew members are recruited, what should we do when the filming of "Lord of the Rings" is over?
dismiss these people?
Or continue to expand the eleven and twelve crews?
None of this counts as Tang's plan.

At that time, the placement of these people will become a problem, and if it is serious, it will cause some problems within Tang.

However, in Chen Fan's opinion, this matter is not difficult to solve.

"Mr. Guo, what are the films that Tang has prepared and is currently producing?"

"In addition to the four films before this year and "Transformers" which started production this month, "Men in Black", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" have already decided on their directors, and they are not far away from shooting. "

"So, there are currently seven crews in the company who have arranged projects?"

"In this case, just agree to Peter's condition directly, and we will directly hand over three crews to him!"

"..."

"Three crews?"

Guo Liangsheng was startled for a moment, thoughts running through his mind.

Three crews means Tang will make two fewer movies, and Lord of the Rings is a 560-minute movie.

Chen Fan made a request before, hoping to finish the filming as much as possible in one go.

It is expected to take two to three years.

In other words, Tang will have only eight crews in the next two to three years?
From this point of view, it is really better to expand the number of crew members, and the arrangement of these people will be discussed later.

This will not slow down Tang's progress.

Guo Liangsheng was about to express his thoughts when the words came to his lips and he swallowed them again.

"Well, if you can cooperate with Peter, then give him three crews!"

It doesn't make much sense to discuss whether to expand or not with Chen Fan now.

Three production crews are for Peter. If Tang is short of production crews in the future, shouldn’t it be enough to recruit slowly?

Just now I was a little brain-dead, and I wanted to keep ten crews.

Chen Fan must have understood these things long ago, so he didn't pay much attention to this issue.

"Besides, Peter also wants a box office share. He proposed a two-point box office share, but he also said that the base salary for this drama can be reduced."

As soon as Guo Liangsheng finished speaking, Chen Fan frowned.

This Peter has a huge appetite, right?
But after he thought about it a little bit, he suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood.

"How much is the salary of this director Peter?"

Guo Liangsheng thought for a while after hearing the words, hesitantly,

"This director hasn't produced a work for seven or eight years, and the current salary is really difficult to estimate."

"Back then, he was paid only 400 million Eagles for filming "Indian Destruction", but with the popularity of this movie, his reputation has also increased."

"It is said that someone offered him a sky-high price of 1000 million eagle dollars afterwards."

"However, as he has been silent for the past few years, there are fewer and fewer filmmakers pursuing him. I estimate that the most should be around 1000 million Yingyuan, right?"

1000 million eagle yuan...

Chen Fan made a quick calculation in his mind.

The box office is divided into two points. If Peter's final income is 1000 million eagles, then the box office of this movie is [-] million eagles.

But Peter and Guo Liangsheng must know that the investment cost of this film is four hundred million yuan.

Then it will take at least ten billion eagle dollars at the box office to pay back.

In other words, according to Peter's psychological expectation, the film salary is 2000 million eagle dollars?

Chen Fan looked at Guo Liangsheng who looked calm, and thought about Peter's request.

If Peter didn't open his mouth like a lion, it only shows that some people, including Peter and Guo Liangsheng, had too little expectations for this "Lord of the Rings".

Maybe they set the final box office of this film at around ten billion yuan?

After all, for many film and television companies, if they can make one or two hundred million eagle dollars for a film, it is definitely a huge profit.

After thinking about some impressive plots of the movie "Indian Destruction", Chen Fan made a decision in his heart. He decided to take a gamble, betting that Peter the Great has not been silent in the past few years, but is sharpening his sword.

"Mr. Guo, go talk to him again. The box office share is absolutely unacceptable, but we can increase the film salary to 2000 million eagle dollars!"

2000 million eagle dollars is definitely the highest salary in the world's film history, both for actors and directors.
