The Best Entertainment Era

A company and an individual are two completely different business entities. Shahai Entertainment's investment in the filming of Human Removal Project is a corporate act, while Ronan's role as a producer is a personal act.

Therefore, Ronan signed a producer employment agreement with Shahai Entertainment.

This is a legitimate and legitimate Arab investment.

Most studios hire a producer to oversee all the operations of the crew, and then below the producer is an online producer, also known as a production manager, who is responsible for preparing budgets, leasing equipment, coordinating venues, and supervising accounting staff. and many other functions.

However, small crews are often not so particular, and the functions of online producers are actually scattered among Ronan, George, Mary and Robert.

Ronan treats the core veterans well. In addition to their normal salaries, these three can also receive a producer salary from the crew.

Kindness to the Arabs.

Strictly speaking, the Human Removal Plan is not a project initiated by Shahai Entertainment, but a project initiated by Luo Nan. When Shahai Entertainment invests in this project, it needs to pay a development fee to Luo Nan.

This is not Ronan pitting Arabs to invest, but the normal situation in the industry.

Jerry Bruckheimer and his Bruckheimer company often play this way.

Producers like Jerry Bruckheimer are often referred to as planning experts. These people are often project initiators and belong to the absolute high-end in the circle.

Typically, studios pay the typical project sponsor between $10,000 and $60,000.

As for a gold-medal producer like Jerry Bruckheimer, the cost of project initiation is often as high as seven figures.

Because it involves individuals, Ronan follows the formal industry regulations. According to the project's investment of US$11 million, he will receive a payment of US$25,000 from Shahai Entertainment.

Half of the money has already been paid, and as is customary, the other half is paid when filming begins.

The producer's remuneration is not only these, but also the project guarantee fee and the production fee.

There is no third-party guarantee in the Human Removal Plan, so the project guarantee fee is naturally out of the question.

In terms of production costs, the Producers Union is a trade organization and does not have any regulations on production costs.

There are many factors that affect the level of production costs. The ones that play a decisive role are basically the box office situation of the previous film, the films that have been involved in production and have been successful, the budget of the film and the industry status of the client.

Producers are undoubtedly the real high-end existence in the film industry. According to the current Hollywood practice, producers who take over for the first time can now receive production compensation ranging from $20,000 to $150,000.

After the arrival of the new millennium, this number will increase significantly.

Compared to fledgling screenwriters and actors, this is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

In terms of producer remuneration, Ronan operates in a standardized manner, and Shahai Entertainment paid him a production fee of $35,000.

That is, Ronan's producer compensation is $60,000.

In addition to this, there are also screenplay copyright transfer fees.

The script of Human Removal Project belongs to his personal creation, and there is no creative agreement between him and Shahai Entertainment, and the copyright ownership is very clear.

U.S. copyright law clearly stipulates that under the condition of signing a copyright agreement, the copyright of the corresponding works created by the employer is entirely owned by the employer.

That is to say, if the project sponsor has an idea and hires a screenwriter to create a script, the copyright of the script has nothing to do with the screenwriter hired.

In this regard, Ronan has done nothing to blame, as long as 5,000 US dollars.

The script of the new screenwriter, who is not a member of the trade union, is basically the price.

Ronan was also the second-highest paid person on the set, behind director James Wong.

And the signature.

This is also very important, in case the film sells well, just like the director and the main actor's signature,

The producer's signature can also attract widespread attention.

It is not difficult to notice the prologue of Hollywood movies, the producers are all signed alone, rarely juxtaposed with others.

Taking advantage of his own advantages, Ronan not only signed an independent signature, but also gave the signature an independent picture.

The production company wouldn't object anyway.

After the venue was confirmed, the equipment was rented in place, and the actors signed the agreement, Luo Nan specially convened two meetings with the main creative staff of the crew. It was not because of work arrangements, but mainly to let these people get acquainted as soon as possible.

Later, his work will be relatively easy.

Many of the specific preparatory matters for the crew were placed on James Huang. As the director of an independent project and the highest paid person, he has to take corresponding responsibilities.

Most of the directors of the crew will participate in the preparation of the project throughout the process.

Ronan also did not relax, and through the three of Mary, George and Robert, controlled the overall situation of the crew and the project.

As a producer, you cannot lock the director, let alone let go of the shackles completely.

There are a lot of directors, who are people who have their brains open to the sky, let go of the rope tied to him, and they can fly out of the atmosphere immediately.

The studio office.

Luo Nanshen looked at the latest financial report sent by Mary. With the experience of the previous life and the study during this period, he could roughly understand it.

It's really spending money like water. He lamented the changes in the numbers on the books.

Mary asked, Are the Arabs really going to ask where the funds are going?

Preparations for the film are underway so far, and the bill has cost close to $4 million.

Ronan was satisfied with the speed of spending, and replied, Just in case.

It's always good to be more prepared.

It is better to avoid some troubles as much as possible. The Arabs really have money, and he is very short of money.

Try to cooperate with the Arabs for a few more years. The UAE is really proud, and sometimes it is unreasonable.

Then again, whose money is not money? An American dollar is worth no more than an Arab dollar.

After looking through the financial report, Ronan remembered Netflix, which he had been paying attention to recently, and said directly to Mary: Go to a reliable market research and consulting company, the ability is better, and the price can be higher. Let them pay attention to it. With an Internet company called Netflix and founder Reed Hastings, and a weekly update report.

Mary didn't understand what Ronan meant, so she nodded and said, Okay, I'll do it now.

Ronan thought for a while, and then asked, Do you know anyone in the San Fernando Valley who shoots romance films?

What are you going to do? Mary warned: Ronan, in our industry, it is a taboo to touch that type!

Ronan quickly waved his hand: You're wrong. He explained simply: I'm writing a novel, there are some plots about the San Fernando Valley, and I want to investigate it on the spot.

During the recent period, he has been caving in, and he wants to die, so he wants to take time to go to the San Fernando Valley to observe on the spot.

Mary believed it and said, I'll ask someone to ask. She asked, When are you going to go?

Ronan replied: The sooner the better.

The novels serialized on the blog have not been updated for a long time. Fortunately, there are no readers, otherwise the blades will be closed.

Mary glanced at Ronan curiously and said nothing. She left the office and was about to return to the financial room when she saw a sweet-looking blonde girl with a paper bag walking along the corridor.

The girl she knew was Amanda Seyfried, the youngest actor on the set.

Hello, Mary. Amanda Seyfried greeted her proactively and asked, Is Mr. Anderson there?

Sweet and polite, Mary laughed and said, Ronan is in the office, you can go over there, remember to knock on the door before entering.

Amanda Seyfried smiled sweetly and said, I will.

Waved to Mary, she came to the door of the office, knocked gently on the door, and waited for the sound of please come in before pushing the door in.

Ronan saw the blond girl who came in, put down the book in her hand, and Amanda Seyfried waved quickly: Hello, Mr. Anderson, didn't you disturb your work?

No. Ronan gestured as he picked up the book in his hand: I'm done with my work and I'm reading.
