Chapter 450 Super Genius

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

This is Century City. It not only has film companies like 20th Century Fox, but also many entertainment agencies of all sizes. In the eyes of those who want to develop into Hollywood, it is definitely a place full of opportunities, especially those who are full of talent and fantasy about the future. They need an opportunity.

In the past, Murphy has encountered this situation, so when he heard the young man introduce himself as a screenwriter and director, he slowly put away the enthusiastic smile that he would only have when facing his fans.

"My name is Cretenam Wilkinson, and I am from Massachusetts..." The young man continued to introduce himself, and he was full of confidence in his words. "I have experienced professional studies at the Film Institute of New York University, focusing on screenwriters and directors."

Murphy nodded slightly. There were not many well-known Hollywood directors from the Institute of Film Studies at New York University, and the most famous one he knew was undoubtedly Ang Lee.

There is also a saying within Hollywood that compared to the University of Southern California Film Academy, which is closer to Hollywood, students from the New York University Film Institute are often not very realistic.

In a place like Hollywood, if you don’t follow the actual situation and do things based on your own imagination, the result can be imagined.

Although he thought so in his head, Murphy did not show it. He just looked at the young man named Cretenam-Wilkinson. He had plenty of time today, so he wanted to see if the other party could really come up with something that surprised him.

Cretenam Wilkinson is very young and looks about twenty-five. His face is filled with a hint of pride and his words are quite confident. "When I was studying at the Film Institute of New York University, I wrote and directed three experimental movies, each of which caused a strong response on campus, and I also received joint recommendations from five professors..."

Murphy frowned slightly, Cretena Wilkinson was too long-winded. If he hadn't had time today, he would have been impatient.

Cretenam Wilkinson was still talking about the capital he had accumulated in school, but unfortunately Murphy was not interested at all. No Hollywood producer would be interested.

There are many outstanding film students who graduated from professional college every year, but few of them can make a comeback.

Only fools would just listen to him for a few words of vain. Looking at his brilliant experience in school, he would think that he was a super genius.

So, Murphy directly interrupted Cretenam-Wilkinson and asked, "Is there anything you have to do with me?"

Hearing Murphy's question, Cretena Wilkinson swallowed hard, pressed the brilliant experiences that had not been said back into his stomach, opened the brand new briefcase, took out a not-so-thick stack of binding paper from it, and handed it to Murphy.

"This is a script I wrote." Cretenam Wilkinson explained, "Director Stanton, please take a look."

If it were executives of other film companies, they wouldn't take it at all, but Murphy was different. After all, he had experienced a situation where no one was interested in the bottom. He knew that it was difficult for the starter. If the project could really impress him, he would be willing to give young people a chance.

Murphy took the script and pointed to the seat opposite, "You sit for a while, I'll see."

"Yes!" Cretenam Wilkinson was obviously confident in his script, and sat opposite him and waited with peace of mind.

When he opened the script, Murphy browsed at a very fast speed, but after only reading three pages, he frowned. The script was not a linear narrative!

After turning back for more than twenty pages, his brows became deeper. This was still a science fiction subject!

By transforming the text and scenes of the script into pictures in my mind, Murphy immediately came to the conclusion that he wanted to use special effects on a large scale, and a large number of special effects meant super high investment.

Science fiction themes, nonlinear narratives, obscure plots, and relatively high production costs...

These are completely equated with the huge risks!

No investor will like huge risks, and Murphy is no exception, especially behind this risk, there is no corresponding huge returns.

He closed the script and was about to give Crete Nam Wilkinson back, but unexpectedly, Crete Nam Wilkinson took the lead in speaking.

"Director Stanton..." This young man was really confident, "If you want to buy this script, it is the most basic premise for me to be a director! Otherwise, I will never sell it!"

"Uh..." Murphy was not only surprised, but even a little surprised.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years, and it is not that there are no screenwriters or directors who come to sell his projects, but this is the first time he has encountered such an incredible situation.

Perhaps it was infected by Robert Downey Jr. Murphy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked with a slight odor, "Are there any other conditions? Let's tell it together."

"Of course there is!" Cretenam Wilkinson was not polite at all and continued to say with confidence. "If your company wants to invest in my script, I have to be both a screenwriter and a director, and I can do not have a director's pay..."

This is the most reliable sentence Murphy heard Crete Nam-Wilkinson said.

But the other party's next words made him wonder if he had encountered the legendary "super genius"!

"My condition is that your company signed a gambling dividend agreement with me." The man obviously knew nothing about Hollywood, "The film's North American box office exceeded 25 million US dollars, one percent of which was my dividend. More than 50 million US dollars rose to 2%, seventy-five million US dollars were three percent, and one hundred million US dollars four percent..."

Cretena Wilkinson looked at Murphy, and according to his ideas and his understanding of Hollywood from the Internet, facing such an excellent script, Murphy Stanton and Stanton Studio behind him would definitely agree, because he was confident that this film would be successful, and the other party should also think that the film would be successful in the future. Then Stanton Studio took away the big head of income and took a small part, and there was absolutely no problem.

Whether it is a student in the school, a professor at the New York University Film Institute, or most viewers who have watched his experimental films, they all think he is a genius!

These people can see that he is a genius, and I believe Murphy Stanton is no exception!

Of course, he shouted such a high price to leave room for the other party to bargain. As long as Murphy Stanton's sincerity is enough, it is not impossible to give in appropriately.

Even if Murphy Stanton disagrees, that's nothing. With such an excellent script and a super genius like himself, if major Hollywood companies are rushing to sell it in the future?

Murphy was quite speechless. He really didn't know if there was a problem with his IQ or the genius on the other side had a problem with his IQ...

He pushed the script to Cretena Wilkinson, who asked, "Director Stanton, is my script OK? Can we collaborate?"

"Script..." Murphy shook his head and simply said, "Since you are planning to direct this video, can I check out your project plan?"

Cretenam-Wilkinson was stunned by Murphy's question, "Project plan?"

A screenwriter and director who went to Hollywood to attract funds to invest in his own projects does not even have the most basic project plan. Is it true that Hollywood production companies are all charities?

Murphy was too lazy to say anything else. He didn't even have the most basic project plan and only had a script in his hand. He came to invest in and became a director. It was indeed a genius approach.

What's more, the script is too creative, and he doesn't want to bear the risk of adding creativity to newcomers at all. It is estimated that 99% of Hollywood producers will not bear it.

In addition, there is not even the most basic project plan, so there is no suspense for the remaining one percent.

"Let's get here today." Murphy stood up and said casually, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Cretenam Wilkinson was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Murphy meant. When Murphy stepped out of the deck, he woke up.

Murphy Stanton doesn't want to work with him! Cretenam Wilkinson immediately realized this.

But he didn't move, just turned his head to look at Murphy, picked up the script and put it in his briefcase, with more arrogance on his face.

Perhaps he didn't expect to follow Murphy Stanton from outside and wait for so long to get such a result. Cretena Wilkinson subconsciously muttered a few words, "A director doesn't know how to respect art! I don't know the importance of talent creation, it's not worthy of its name!"

This was like talking to oneself, but Murphy could hear it again.

Murphy didn't look back. If he had seen such a "super genius", he would turn himself into such a "super genius".

For people like Cretenam Wilkinson, who thinks that with a script, you can get investment, and don’t even need plans or other things, as long as you have a lip service, Murphy really doesn’t know whether he should be naive or idiot.

After leaving the cafe, Murphy no longer calls this young man named Crete Sodium Wilkinson. There are countless young people in Hollywood who come here with beautiful dreams every day. Although there are very few successful people, innocent and naive people like Crete Sodium Wilkinson can only be described as extremely rare.

If Cretenam Wilkinson came up with a routine script and a detailed plan without those unrealistic conditions, Murphy might have considered it.

As for the other party’s talent and creativity, these have never been lacking in Hollywood.

Many people believe that as long as you have talent, you will shine in Hollywood, and good stories and movies will definitely kill Hollywood and even the whole world. However, Murphy has been in Hollywood for almost ten years and was still bleeding at first. Now he is gradually climbing to the top leaders of this circle, and he has a deep understanding of this.
