Chapter 75 New Plan

Please recommend votes! Recommend votes! Recommend votes! Say important things three times...

After officially joining the union, Murphy's main energy was transferred to the preparation of the new film, and the script needed to be further modified, especially based on the actual funds he could invest. Just like the last time, he could not spend all the more than 900,000 dollars in his hand on this project. △

Stanton Studio needs funds to operate. Although there are no employees now, at least one telephone operator and cleaner will be hired later. If there is a suitable candidate, a financial staff member will be required, all of which will require money.

Moreover, the series of expenses added after the production of "Hard Fruit Candy" also told Murphy that all the funds spent on the production of a movie was extremely stupid, and he also needed money to maintain a normal life.

He had a strange experience, but he was not the kind of saint who did not eat or drink and did not need gasoline to drive.

Murphy plans to invest $800,000 to $900,000, the final amount depends on the circumstances.

He does not have the ability to make a plasma horror film with $300,000, and the money is still confident enough. After all, the US dollar is constantly depreciating, and the purchase power of the US dollar is very different in the past few years.

With the start of major North American colleges and universities, Paul Wilson ended his spring break and returned to Stanton Studio. Unlike the last time he was a free intern, he has received considerable recognition from Murphy and also offered him a weekly salary of 400 US dollars.

After the new project is completed, some bonuses will be paid depending on the situation.

Paul Wilson's enthusiasm for work has also increased. After all, ideals can become motivation, but money is the basis of survival.

Murphy attaches so much importance to Paul Wilson, and because of one thing, he introduced several classmates to Stanton Studio for internship. When the crew was established, he could also be a free intern.

These are all good things.

"The crew is only two of us now."

Standing in front of the door of the 13th Street in the Green Zone of Santa Monica, Murphy hung the nameplate of Stanton Studio on the iron gate and said to Paul Wilson next to him, "You are now one of the people in charge of the crew, and you are very concerned about your work."

He has not graduated yet and has a considerable salary to get. He can witness the establishment and development of a film company and can actually participate in film production and accumulate experience. Paul Wilson is not dissatisfied with anything, and even feels that he is a lucky person. Among the students of the same University of Southern California Film Academy, he is a few of the few who have truly participated in film production that can be officially released in theaters.

He is one step ahead compared to others.

Looking at the director next to him who was younger than me, thinking that the other party could become a millionaire in his early twenties and that the movies and feature films entered the theaters, Paul Wilson was full of admiration, "Don't worry, boss, I'm also a person with some experience. Just leave those chores to me."

He didn't think he would do anything worse than the female intern Jessica Chastain.

Murphy gently patted his arm, "We are partners who start a business together, don't be so disgusted, call me Murphy."

Paul Wilson nodded vigorously, and it felt really good to be appreciated.

It is obvious that Murphy is winning people's hearts. Stanton Studio has just started and needs some talent. He also wants to hire someone like Cara Fais, who has outstanding abilities and rich experience, but the reality does not allow it, so he can only find a way to dig it out by himself.

After looking at the lines of letters of the "Stanton Film Studio" on the metal nameplate, Murphy pushed open the iron door and walked into the small building. There were still more than a dozen desks in the empty living room. Unlike before, a Latin woman in her thirties sat in her desk closest to the entrance door.

This is the front desk cleaner and telephone operator that Murphy just recruited.

"Hello, Mr. Stanton." She greeted Murphy.

Murphy nodded and asked, "Rosa, is anyone calling?"

The woman named Rosa immediately picked up a form and walked over, handed it to Murphy, with the contact information and basic information of the two people.

"These two people want to apply for the company's finance," she said. "I made an appointment tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Murphy looked at it and returned the form to her. Rosa Rodriguez returned to her desk and sat back on the chair. The chair made a creaking sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.

Paul Wilson on the other side couldn't bear to look at the poor chair, pressed by a woman close to six feet tall and weighing more than two hundred pounds. He really sympathized with the miserable chair.

He doubted how many days the chair would last.

Murphy has become accustomed to the past few days, and he doesn't look at the creaking chairs, and turns around and walks upstairs.

The most important reason why he can hire such a Latino is that the other party is willing to get a salary and do three jobs. Of course, with her appearance, education and ability, she basically cannot find a better job.

Back in the study, Murphy continued to revise the script, and while resting, he thought about the project plan.

Originally, after the first draft of the script was revised, he planned to contact Jones Butler to contact Miramax to see if the two sides can reach a preliminary cooperation and reduce the pressure on Stanton Studio.

After careful consideration, he chose to give up. Although he had already registered the scripts of the new project at the Screenwriters Union after becoming a member of the Screenwriters Union, Hollywood Film Company has never been morally imitated, and the new project is also very simple. If someone imitates it, he can't even cry.

With Miramax's strength, if the other party is not honest, he is still preparing and they can complete the shooting.

Murphy never expected the screenwriter union to solve the copyright or imitation problem. This is impossible. North American copyright law is indeed very complete, but films with similar main content are emerging one after another, such as "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" and Michael Bay's "The World", "The Fall of the White House" and "The Crisis of the Sky" and "The Shocking Crisis". These cannot be explained by coincidence.

The new project is far from comparable to these videos, but at least the precautions are still necessary. With his current fame and strength, he can hardly do anything Miramax really does.

Even if he finally went to court, and this kind of lawsuit was delayed for a year or two, how could he suffer?

The screenwriter union filing is just an insurance policy, not a guarantee that copyright is not infringed. Murphy will not be so naive that he thinks that the script has been filed in the screenwriter union and will have no worries.

In terms of scripts, he will also disassemble the character script and scene script. Like other Hollywood crews, most people will not see the full version of the script.

There is also a shooting plan. According to North American tradition, autumn is the most suitable time period for horror films to be released. In September every year, a large number of horror films will be launched in theaters, and countless horror film enthusiasts will also flock to them.
