America's Big Hero

It has been entrenched in New Jersey for more than 50 years, developed for three generations, and split dozens of small families to go out. It is really deeply rooted and has deep relationships with the police, legal circles, and political circles.

If New Jersey is a peerless beauty, then Dimio Group is her husband, legal and compliant, and recognized by everyone.

And Sean is just a strong boy with no advantages other than being young, handsome, and capable...

Chapter 73: Then I won't be a beggar on my knees

The various online people spilled out, and the rest is to wait slowly. Sean has no good solution in this regard.

Several companies under his name, the fitness club is training, selecting, and reserving employees. As long as Sean can overthrow the Dimio criminal group, then the fitness club can naturally cover the entire New Jersey on the wave. As for now, please come back The operation director of the company is planning to title a series of events, 'Sean Cup Basketball Game'.

An amateur basketball event, radiating in six surrounding cities, the members are a team composed of some street basketball players and basketball fans. For this event, Sean will spend 5 US dollars, including sponsoring two A set of sports equipment, leased competition venues, bonuses for participating teams, bonuses for the top three and so on.

The cost is not high, and this thing can be deducted from taxes. Sean approved it without much thought. According to the director of operations, if the effect of the operation is good, then in the future, it can be considered to continue to run a regional amateur league.

The competition is completely free, and the purpose is to promote it. Because the contestants are all locals, I believe it will attract a large number of locals to support their relatives and friends.

Outside of the fitness club, the business expansion of the security company was a bit slow. Even if other companies had ideas, they were still waiting to see the effect of the cooperation with the bank. However, the wine business had completely stabilized. For a while, Sean found himself completely at ease.

After thinking about it, since there is nothing else going on for the time being, Sean decided to focus on the 'textbook film'.

To make a movie, there must be a script. Sean is going to write the outline by himself, and then find a few scriptwriters to write the story.

It's just that Sean's understanding of Hollywood is limited to knowing that Hollywood is in Los Angeles, other...

Also know the San Fernando Valley.

There are also many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation!

At this time, Sean can only sigh, his path is still too narrow!

Once again, Lamb from Puhua was found. After all, Puhua has business all over the United States, and more business in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

After all, Hollywood must be the No. 1 place in the United States where the accounts are confused, money laundering, and fraudulent account companies are the most.

"Invest in making movies?" Lamb shook his head like a rattle after hearing Sean's plan, "Don't think about it, there is no money to make, and the total box office of the movie market is limited every year."

"People spend so much money watching movies, there's nothing left to squeeze."

"I never thought about making money at the box office."

"Who do you earn if you don't earn box office money?"

"Earn those big companies!"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"no!"

"Come on, let me tell you." Lamb walked to Sean and bowed his head and said, "To make a movie, you first need to establish a project, attract actors, pay taxes and donations, and after getting the box office, the cinema will return all the money. Thirty-seven cents."

"Why only seventy percent?"

"Seventy percent belong to the distribution company, and the remaining [-] percent belong to the brokerage company."

"What about mine?"

"No! It's all costs, and the box office has been split up. The accounts are absolutely clear, after all, there are only so many box offices." Lamb spread his hands, Hollywood is playing this kind of fat sheep who want to enter the industry.

"That is to say, after some copyright operations, the money I invested will be gone?"

"It just depends on other people's face, otherwise, if the equipment is damaged or the advertising expenses are paid, you will have to pay for it again." Lamb nodded heavily, "This is called tuition! Filmmaking is very difficult, you can't grasp it! "

"The reason for spending money and investing so far is to pay tuition?"

"Correct!"

"I've managed to earn some money by making some money and want to make a movie. I paid back the project, and I also recruited actors. Not only do I lose money once, but I also have to look at the face of the distributor?"

"Correct!"

"Then I won't be a beggar on my knees!"

"If you want to say that, if you want to make a way in Hollywood, you really have to kneel and beg for food first. That's it, how many people want to kneel but there is no way out."

Sean grabbed Lamb's shoulders, "Let me ask you, why am I going so far?"

"I just have bad legs, I can't kneel down!"

"You want to stand up and make money? Then you'd better not go to Hollywood." Lamb shook his head.

"I don't understand this. How can a serious business be better than a side job?"

"In the eyes of the public, you are an investor, but in the eyes of Hollywood people, you are a beggar on your knees. In Hollywood, among the famous male and female stars in the world, which one of them didn't come in on their knees? How many stars are there? It’s still kneeling and licking.” Lamb shrugged, “It’s making money, business, not shabby!”

"Shabby, very fucking shabby!"

"Then you better not go to Hollywood."

"I'm going, and I'm going to stand and make money."

"It can't be earned." Lamb shook his head.

"This, can you make money!" Sean took out his gun and slapped it on the table.

"Yes, find a way."

"This, can you make money!" Sean took out a bag of money and threw it on the table.

"Yes, kneel!"

"Then this and this, can you make money standing up!"

……

On the plane from Los Angeles to Newark, three men sit together and chat quietly.

"I didn't expect to meet you. Do you know what the person who paid the money does?" A man with a Mediterranean hairstyle asked with a smile.

"I don't know, who cares." The other person shrugged his shoulders, "As long as you give money, there are many people like this now. They always think that they have a good story, and as long as they shoot it, they can get money in Hollywood, and they don't even think about it. , There are so many movies in Hollywood every year, but how many really make money."

"I heard from the other party that he wrote the outline and asked us to write it on behalf of us, but I really doubt whether he can understand the written script." After finishing speaking, the three of them burst out laughing.

Just like what Lamb said, due to the popularity of the film market and the fame of Hollywood, the world does not know how many rich people want to come in with their money to get a piece of the pie. As a result, there have been a lot of foreign investors in Hollywood who specialize in defrauding these foreign investors. film production company.

There are too many loopholes in the production and distribution of movies that can be exploited. Such things as cheating investors have become an assembly line operation. In the end, whether the movie can be released after it is produced is another matter. You will find that you can't get a penny at all, and all the box office has been divided by the distributors, theaters, and brokerage companies.

Half the companies in Hollywood are fed by these fat sheep all over the world.

Any closed industry in the world is like this. This is called interlacing like a mountain. If you want to cross industries, first break the mountain in front of you.

Before these three guys came, they had already been contacted by film production companies, and there were more than one of them. Involvement was really everywhere.

Chapter 74: After all, I'm not a bad person

The plane arrived at Newark International Airport, and as soon as it got out of the airport, the three of them frowned slightly when they saw the person who came to pick up the plane. Isn't it a bit out of style?

When they arrived at the parking lot and watched the pick-up man pull away an old and painted pickup, the three of them frowned even more, "You don't even have a slightly better car, do you? "

"This car is not ordinary." Jeff, who came to pick up the plane, said with a smile: "Get in the car, guys, I will give you a big surprise at the place."

Now Jeff, the bird tattoo on his arm is gone, his long hair is gone, and he doesn't even have a beard. His old suit looks very plain, and he can't see the demeanor of the gangster big sparrow at all.

"Okay, okay." The three looked depressed, opened the car door, reached out to sweep the seat, and looked up to see that it was full of dust.

But people from all over the world came here, so they could only grumble and complain as they got into the car. After a while, the car drove out of the city and the road became more and more remote.

"Where is this car going?" One person felt something was wrong, and immediately shouted loudly: "I'm not going, I want to get off."

"Crack!" Jeff took out a pistol by the car seat, twirled it on his fingers, and pressed it directly on the temple of the screenwriter of the co-pilot, "Come on, I will give you a chance to reorganize the language."

"I, I, I... I won't get out of the car anymore." The editor's face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he felt a urge to urinate.

The latter two editors were not much better. The reason why these three people came was because Sean asked the screenwriter to have written crime shootout scripts. Therefore, various crime scenes began to appear uncontrollably in the minds of the three. , trapping, torture, throwing corpses... all kinds of punishments...

Just scare yourself to death.

Seeing the three screenwriters' frightened lips turned pale and their faces covered with cold sweat, Jeff's evil taste was greatly satisfied at the same time.

It's just, where is this!

Without talking all the way, they drove directly to the military base. The three screenwriters looked at the tall courtyard wall and the power grid hanging on it through the car window, wondering if there was a gunshot coming from inside, and their brains buzzed on the spot.

God, what the hell kind of employer is this? !

The idea of ​​cooperating with idiot employers before coming here will be completely forgotten by them. Now there is nothing else to ask, just hope to leave Newark alive!

The heavy iron gate of the base was opened, and the anti-collision antlers were still standing inside. The pickup truck drove in only after the antlers were removed.

"Get out of the car, friends, welcome to X Security Company!" Jeff jumped out of the car and said to the three with a smile.

Hearing that the head invited a screenwriter, these boring bosses ran over to watch the excitement. They all only watched the movie but never touched it, nothing else, boring and curious!

It's just that these guys were all training just now, and now they're all carrying long guns and short cannons, and two of them are carrying recoilless rocket launchers on their backs. Dozens of burly men surround three screenwriters in suits and leather shoes. middle……

Like a fawn in a Christmas suit surrounded by fur.

Anyone can go up and down

The most irritating thing is that if someone still moves, it's fine, and they use guns...

That scene...

It was very embarrassing.

Until Sean came over.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

"There are so many people, and they are still in front of everyone!"

"If you like it, you can spend some money, spend some, even if it's prostitution, it won't cost much!"

"Okay, okay, it's all over, go back and train hard!"

After driving away all these animals, Sean was startled when the three screenwriters showed up, their clothes were disheveled, their hair was messy...

What have these guys done!

He just let people come out to scare and scare!

The three screenwriters who rearranged their clothes were brought to the office, and Sean sat on a chair with his legs on the desk, "Have you received the invitation?"

"Accept, received."

"Then how are you going to work for me!"

"It doesn't matter what you do."

"You can do whatever you want? You said it! Good!" Xiao En slapped his thigh with a smile, "Do you know why you are invited here?"

"Yes, write the script."

"Well, not bad." Sean pulled out a file and threw it on the ground in front of the three of them, "Look at it, this is a bank robbery that happened not long ago."

The three of them ignored Xiao En's humiliating behavior, bent down to pick it up, and looked at it together.

After the three of them finished watching, Sean said, "Is it possible to adapt a script based on this real case?"

The three of them looked at each other, with hesitation written on their faces, and they didn't want to agree in their hearts.

"Huh?" Sean narrowed his eyes.

The three nodded immediately, "Yes, I can adapt it."

"I invited you here because I believe in your abilities. The quality of the script is the key to the success of a movie. If the movie is not successful, of course I..." Sean smiled and looked at the three of them, "Of course I won't blame you .”

"I don't know where you live and who is in your family. After all, I'm not a bad person."

"right."

If you say that, we will be even more afraid, okay?

There are a lot of people who have plunged headlong into Hollywood and taken advantage of it, but this kind of person who threatens people from the very beginning is really... so rare.

As for movies, even Bada can't guarantee that they will make money if they shoot them.

"Let me talk about a few principles for the adaptation. First, the whole plot should highlight the preparation process of the robbers. It should be professional, precise, detailed, and reproducible."

"Second, after the robbery is over, the battle between the gangsters and the police must be intense and exciting."

"Third, the police must not be dumb, they must be sufficiently organized and brave enough."

"Fourth, at the end, the robbers did not run away because of some accidents, and were all shot dead by the police. It should be emphasized that if it was not an accident, they would have taken the money and gone abroad to enjoy the sun, the beach, and beautiful women!"
