Chapter 055 Movie Project
That afternoon, Hu Mingle followed Thomas to a film company located in Queens, or a film company that had just gone bankrupt.
While he was having dinner with Liu Yifei, he suddenly received a call from his roommate, asking him to come together in the afternoon to confirm something about the acquisition of the bankrupt film company, thus becoming his own film company.
After all, his loan will be received, so the plan that had been agreed upon before will definitely start to be implemented.
In short, after coming to this bankrupt film company, a white middle-aged man with a big beer belly and a bearded face received the two with a somewhat desolate expression.
If bankruptcy happens, it is naturally difficult to have a good mood, so Hu Mingle and Thomas don’t care about this either.
"Two, Lawrence's movies have gone bankrupt. Now the valuable things are only the office stuff left, and of course, some shooting equipment, after professional evaluation, are worth about 500,000 US dollars."
"So half a million dollars is exactly the price you need to pay to buy Lawrence movies, and that's the lowest number, and you don't accept bargaining."
"By the way, there are less than a month and a half left in the office lease. This part of the time is considered a gift. If the transaction is successful, you will naturally pay the rent yourself in the future."
"How about the two, the company is only so big, you can see clearly at a glance. Whether to continue trading, please give an answer."
"Forgive me for having a loan waiting for me to pay it back. If you can't give an idea soon, I can only use other ways to deal with these things. Please consider it."
"OK, give us five minutes, let's discuss it now."
When Thomas, who had hesitated a little, heard a little bit of such a big deal of words, he quickly responded.
Then, he pulled Hu Mingle aside and spoke, "hu, what do you think?"
"It's acceptable, but I care more about people. After all, it's impossible to rely on the two of us to make the company run, let alone we have to go to school, and we are destined to be here every day."
"So, I think it's very necessary for us to ask each other about the original employees of Lawrence movie."
Without much hesitation, Hu Mingle immediately expressed his opinions.
"This suggestion is good, I think so too, so let's go over and ask first."
Thomas, who nodded slightly, agreed in his heart, so after a sentence, he was prepared to return to the white middle-aged man without any hesitation.
…………
The next day, Huamei Movie's conference room.
Looking at the dozens of "cracked and cracked dates", including fat aunts and fat uncles, all of them were so greasy, Hu Mingle suddenly wondered whether it was the right choice to keep these employees who originally belonged to Lawrence Movies.
Of course, it seems useless to regret now. After all, the conditions have been agreed upon, so you can't be a "villain" who goes back on your word, as this will easily ruin your reputation.
Then it was right. Yesterday, I finally reached a deal with the boss of Lawrence Movie, who was called Lawrence, and quickly signed a contract. Lawrence Movie also became a Chinese film.
However, this name is only nominal for the time being. After all, applying to change the original company name is not something you can do with just a single mouth.
In short, Huamei Film was established like this, taking advantage of the shell of the original Lawrence Film.
It turns out that this company shoots some...what should I say?
It can probably be called a "spoke" movie.
Whenever there is a big-selling movie on the market, the company will follow the trend and spoof it, which is very unconventional.
For example, "This is not Sparta" that spoofs "The Spartan 300 Warriors", "Robin Hood" and "Robin Hood is also crazy", "Screaming Screaming" and so on, there are countless numbers.
Of course, these are all examples, not made by Lawrence's movies.
If you really want to ask what Lawrence did the movie, Hu Mingle really doesn’t even have the interest to take a look at it.
Anyway, the above examples have fully shown that those popular successful movies seem to have rarely been spoofed.
After all, "spoke movies" are cheap, and as long as they attract the attention of some spectacle-hunting audiences, there is a great possibility of making money, even if the audience will definitely MMP afterwards.
In addition, there is also a more LOW operation, which is to directly spoof popular movies into cyan movies, and also forms a related industrial chain, which is also...
Perhaps American movies only leave a well-made impression in the eyes of domestic audiences, but that is only because they can be exported to domestic movies, which are basically all examples of success or blockbusters.
Therefore, it does not mean that there are no bad movies in the United States. In fact, there are completely outrageously many bad movies here, far exceeding the number of good movies.
This has created countless film companies like Lawrence Movies, all of which are counting, all of which are counting on a certain movie.
But after all, the few who can reach the sky are still miserable, and if you don’t pay attention, it will be the ending of bankruptcy, just like the Lawrence movie.
Maybe the dozen fat aunts and fat uncles in the conference room had already secretly blocked the two new bosses Hu Mingle and Thomas, and maybe when they would end up.
Putting aside these things, just as Hu Mingle was paying attention and his thoughts kept rolling, Thomas, who was sitting in the main seat, cleared his throat.
He spoke loudly: "Everyone, Lawrence movies have become a past, and beauty is the future. I hope that in the future we can all work together to create a better tomorrow for beauty."
"Smack!"
After hearing Thomas' words, the uncle, although he didn't quite agree with the worldly aunts, still clapped his hands with "passionateness". After all, he had to rely on the new boss to pay his salary.
"OK, I won't say much nonsense. The company will soon launch its first project, a low-cost original independent film called "Super Power Out of Control". The story comes from my partner, that is, hu."
"I hope everyone can be motivated. If anyone drags his back, it's better to quit yourself. The company won't keep idle people."
"Anyway, from this moment on, the project "Super Power Out of Control" has been officially announced."
Thomas, who did not care about the applause, made arrangements very serious and directly approached the topic.
In fact, he and Hu Mingle had similar ideas, and he regretted leaving these people who seemed very bad.
But at this point, we can only look at the performance of these people in the future. If you have real talents and ideas, you should stay, and vice versa.
"Wow!"
I have to say that when I was an uncle and an aunt saw that the two young new bosses were so decisive, they launched a film project on the first day, and were an original independent film, which was somewhat shocked.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m lazy or really have enough self-confidence.
Next to him, Hu Mingle, who was sitting in the left front of Thomas, did not say anything more during the whole process, but just kept paying attention.
This is also the result of his discussion with Thomas. The other party is in charge of management, and he is in charge of content and each has a clear division of labor.
When talking about the movie "Super Power Out of Control", it was the last time he met Dai Hanhan on LA that he suddenly remembered and finally brought out the movie.
This movie is quite interesting. You can tell from the name alone that superpowers are out of control, not the conventional mass routine.
It tells the story of three teenagers who accidentally gain super powers in a cave and gradually embark on a road of self-destruction due to the influence of life and family reasons.
Moreover, the cost of this movie is not high, about 10 million US dollars, which is just within the affordability of Huamei movies, so Hu Mingle chose "Super Power Out of Control".
