After visiting the film company, Arthur was indifferent and had no expectation before. He felt sad and depressed in his heart. According to the introduction of the director of the film company and the film company, Arthur can only use one sad word to express his feelings for this film company with only a dozen people and the current British film industry.
Well, what a terrible word!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is in dire straits.
Can you imagine 613 films released in the UK between 2003 and 2010? Only seven percent of these films are profitable. No more than a fifth of films costing up to 10 million pounds are profitable.
The output of seven years can''t even match the number of movies made by the Chinese government in one year.
What''s more sad is that a Harry Potter series has almost all the registered actors in the UK to participate in. Cough, this is not praise, but to say that the actors in the whole UK are relying on the series of Harry Potter movies for a living...
How pathetic he is!
You know, the last two Harry Potter series have already started shooting, that is to say, after shooting, many people will lose their jobs.
At least half of the people in his film company have gone to participate in the shooting of Harry Potter films, so Arthur will see that only a dozen people are left behind.
What hope does he have for meow?
Before Arthur wanted to come, he wanted to carry several future Hollywood films to make money. Now it seems that he wanted to be blind.
It is not only short of money, but also lack of talents. What''s more, even if it is filmed, as long as it doesn''t go abroad and is shown in North America, it can''t make money, because the local audience not only disapproves of British films, but also has a very narrow market, which is the backyard of Hollywood movies.
Therefore, making movies in Britain is not only without future, but also dark!
"Boss, in the UK, filmmakers traditionally get money from the British Film Association fund and the BBC film public fund. However, the investment scale of the British Film Association fund of 15 million pounds and the BBC film public fund of 11 million pounds is somewhat pitiful compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars invested by Hollywood.
In addition to capital investment, British films also face great challenges in terms of talent. " Rebecca, the director of the film company and the famous British producer after all, noticed the disappointment of Arthur Boleyn, a young aristocrat and rich man who had just become her boss. She said with a wry smile: "seriously, I''m pessimistic about the future of British Independent Li films.
Although the government''s policy of attracting domestic investment is good for the British film industry, the more stable employment created by large-scale investment has brought difficulties to independent films.
Now, when we want to make a single Li film, we often find it hard to recruit the relevant cast members, because almost all of us have found jobs in the Harry Potter cast, and the signing period is often as long as nine months. All these make it more and more difficult to make local films in Britain.
Therefore, we can only wait helplessly now. Even if there is a shooting project, we can''t find anyone to start it. "
"To tell you the truth, I really didn''t expect that the situation would be so difficult. After listening to you, I was really disappointed. You know, I wanted to see if I could write a story I wanted into a script and make a movie..."
Arthur, with a wry smile and shaking his head, continued, "now it seems that I think too much."
After hearing the young boss''s words, Rebecca, the director of the film company, looked at Binsi, the CEO of the cinema. After a look at each other, she said with some expectation: "boss, if the story is wonderful, you are willing to put in and set up a production team, or there is no problem..."
Arthur looked into his eyes with tears and laughter. Some were excited to look at his Rebecca. He shook his head and said, "the story is a good story. I can also invest some money. Can you guarantee that you can make money by shooting it?"
"Cough..." As a middle-aged woman, Rebecca blushes at the rhetorical questions of her young boss, and she is very embarrassed. She is also poor and idle. She has a lot of grievances. She is the new boss of her own company, a billionaire with good money, and the intention to make a movie. Naturally, she should dig down the project first.
Looking at Rebecca''s embarrassment, Bince shakes his head and grins bitterly to ease the embarrassment. "Boss, if you can, you can write the script and give it to Rebecca to see if she can get some investment. Maybe it can be operated. "
" ha ha, to tell you the truth, I really lost the idea of investment when I saw the status quo of British movies. However, since you are your own film company, you still have some morale, which is worth encouraging. Well, I think the story is a secret room, a disaster, a monster''s horror story, which is related to a nightmare I had.
I believe that this kind of thriller film can not cost much money. I will allocate you 5 million pounds. My only requirement is that all of them are native British people. What I want is a British local film. Can you do it? "Arthur looked at a disappointed Rebecca, a little angry. It was really sad that the British film mixed in this way. However, it could not hurt the enthusiasm of these filmmakers. He still decided to use Hollywood script and small cost investment to try water.
As long as the film is not too bad, I believe that the monster thriller routine can still recover the cost. Moreover, the more difficult it is, the more brilliant the achievements will be in a desert. Maybe, it will become a great success. This film company will become a benchmark of British television.
"Really? Boss - "Rebecca, who had no hope at all, looked at the young boss with her eyes wide open and was pleasantly surprised.
"Ha ha, really, I give you the chance. It depends on you whether you can grasp it. I am still very sure about this story. I wanted to write it to the Hollywood film company before.
and, if you can continue to shoot, you will have to rely on the money you earn has the final say, I am here. With that, Arthur pointed to his head and continued to smile: "there are many good stories. You know, I still have a writer''s halo on my head."
"Please rest assured that we will do our best and never screw it up!" Although Rebecca knows that there are many factors to consider if a movie wants to make money, she can''t care so much now. First of all, the people and machines in the film company are rusty.
