The Best Entertainment Era

The shooting started again, and there was a faint sound of explosion.

Ronan asked: Robert, is there any company in Los Angeles that provides professional audiences?

Robert was full of doubts: Professional audience?

It's probably a variety show or song and dance program for live broadcast. It needs an audience with a strong sense of the camera and good at expressing emotions. Ronan roughly said from memory: This kind of audience should cry when they should cry, and laugh when they should laugh. It can increase the appeal of the program.”

Can you still do this? Mary was a little surprised.

Robert thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: There should be no company that specializes in similar businesses.

Ronan nodded lightly. This kind of audience grew up with talent show variety shows, and it may take a few years to appear.

You want to do this kind of business? Mary reminded: Film practitioners can't touch the agency business.

Ronan smiled and said, I know. The laws and regulations here are perfect, and it's one thing to brush the boundaries, but another to flagrantly violate them. He said to Robert again: When the film enters the post-production, you can find some new faces, preferably fans with some acting experience. The number does not need to be large, a dozen is enough. Look for each group more than two, when the time comes I will give you a plan and ask someone to train them for a few days, and I will use it later.

It's easy to find. In Robert's eyes, this is not difficult: Many community theaters have similar amateur performers.

Ronan nodded: Be smart, you have a strict mouth, and you are short of money.

Robert said, I understand.

Now the shooting has entered the middle and late stages, and the film does not have any particularly complicated processing links. Ronan also told James Huang that if it can be realized during shooting, don't push it to post-production.

It has to be ready for the release of the film.

For this movie, everything must enter the theaters, and then strive to gain more benefits on this basis.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

It is better to avoid some troubles as much as possible. The Arab really has money in his hands, but he is short of money.

Compared with others, film distribution is quite uncertain, because the distribution company may not be able to take a fancy to this film.

To be honest, for such a small production, the initiative of distribution is not in my own hands at all.

It is even rare for a distribution company to distribute this film on a large scale.

Sandsea Entertainment does not have distribution capabilities, and the establishment of distribution channels cannot be achieved immediately, which requires time and capital investment.

If you want to become a big sand sea entertainment, independent distribution is a necessary condition, at least you must have independent distribution capabilities in North America.

But that's for the future, not the present.

Ronan's most ideal plan is to let the film find a suitable distributor after the filming and production is completed, at least to reach the distribution intention.

If it doesn't go well, you can only take the film to participate in the independent film festival.

In that case, I am afraid that the distribution rights will be sold out.

In this era, distribution is actually mostly controlled by the six major companies and their subsidiaries.

Some medium-sized distribution companies appear to be independent, but are actually subsidiaries of the Big Six.

It is not easy to have a dialogue with the six major parties. The two parties are not in the same class at all. If the difference is too large, the distribution conditions will be a problem.

Unfortunately, the Internet and the computer industry are still not developed and popular enough.

The emergence of new media can effectively impact the monopoly of established forces.

Robert discussed the new plan with Ronan again, and left the nanny car first.

Ronan turned off the air conditioner and asked Mary, How did you go about what I told you last time?

What's the matter? Mary was taken aback.

Ronan reminded, San Fernando Valley.

Mary suddenly realized, and said: I didn't find it. None of my friends around me knew anyone in that industry.

She shrugged: I can't figure it out, you'd better find another way.

Okay. Ronan knew that this kind of thing can't be forced.

Mary opened the door: I'm leaving.

Ronan waved his hand, and after Mary got out of the car, he also got out of the nanny's car. The crew was still filming the gunfight scene, and the ping-pong-pong was quite lively.

He stood by the car and looked around. These are typical American-style detached houses, or small villas. Before the crew of Human Purge Project came over, there were often crews who came to shoot, but they were all authentic romance films. Professional crew.

Near noon, the crew temporarily stopped work for a meal and rest, and the O'Neill neighborhood finally became quiet.

During the meal, James Huang and Ronan gathered at the table.

As the filming progresses, I think there should be more presentations about Killing Day. James Huang, a responsible director, said seriously: If there is no display of Killing Day, or if it flashes through the film, then A moment of national madness that lacks convincing power.

Ronan took a sip of water and asked, What's your opinion?

This is a normal producer and director work exchange, not so much nonsense.

Question used by James Wong: Add more action kill scenes?

Ronan didn't answer immediately. This is the normal way to deal with it, but the action scenes are extremely expensive, which will impact the already limited budget and increase the length of the film.

For this type of film, except for the prologue, the content should not exceed 90 minutes.

James Huang opened his mouth and swallowed the words again. What is the general situation of the crew? As a director, he can feel that increasing the number of scenes means increasing investment. It seems that the budget of the crew is not very high...

Of course the director can clamor and ask for additional investment, but he and Shahai Entertainment are not only cooperating this time, but also the more important Death is Coming in the future. It is not good for the relationship to be too tense.

Ronan frowned and thought for a while, then recalled the movies he had seen before, and said slowly: See if this works, the protagonist's family has a TV, and there are surveillance cameras outside the house. situation, and then use the monitoring screen to broadcast the chaos in the neighborhood...

Hearing this, James Huang pushed up his glasses: Yes! Why didn't I think of it? It's a good idea.

He didn't say some things, but he knew very well in his heart that this seemingly young producer actually came up with a good way to save money and show the national background.

The clarity of the TV broadcast does not need to be too clear, just shoot similar long-range shots, and it doesn’t cost much at all.

And it is more convincing to put it in the film in the form of TV news broadcast.

No wonder he is a capable person who can make the Arab oil tycoons spend money and invest.

Also, James, I may have overlooked a question before. Ronan said again: Properly emphasize the role of the black man rescued by the protagonist's family.

James Huang was not stupid and immediately understood: For business?

Ronan nodded slightly: Yes.

After lunch, Ronan watched the shooting again and was about to return to Los Angeles. Before he got in the car, his phone rang, and he took it out to take a look. It was a number from abroad.

foreign? Could it be Carmen Kath?

Both of them are busy with work, so they are not in close contact. They just send a few text messages every week and rarely make phone calls.

Ronan answered the phone, but a strange woman's voice rang.

Is that you, Ronan? The owner of the voice seemed to be quite old: I'm Helen.

Ronan first said: I am Ronan. Then he thought of who the other party was, and said with a smile: Hello, Aunt Helen.

I heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble in Los Angeles recently? Do you want to come to Germany to help me? I am going to open a butcher shop in Berlin...

Ronan answered, I've already solved the trouble. He said selectively about the current situation: If I can't survive in Los Angeles, I will definitely go to Germany to join you.

The two chatted again about the old Andersons who would pass away before hanging up the phone.

Ronan specially saved this phone number, Germany...

This Aunt Helen is a relative of the old Mrs. Anderson. In the words of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, she has not yet given five clothes, but her nationality is German.

Similar situations are very common in the old United States, a country of immigrants.

The German plan that fooled Saleh before, the so-called relationship of the Anderson family in Germany, actually refers to this Helen Koch.

However, she has nothing to do with the film industry, she is in the meat business.

To put it bluntly, he is a butcher shop owner.

Ronan returned to Los Angeles, spent a few days to design a plan, and then handed it over to Robert, so that Robert could recruit people and have enough time to prepare.
