Chapter 245 Kashen, Finally Found You.

Chapter 245 Kashen, finally found you.

Kashen was very curious, how White Films would know about him, and he wouldn't care too much if he just chatted casually, this kind of thing is normal in Hollywood.

The economic environment is not good, and the life of producers is very hard. Now there are fewer and fewer fools, and screenwriters and directors who are not well-known are not welcome at all.

It is very funny that resources are extremely expensive nowadays, and since William White began to acquire various adaptation rights, this trend has intensified.

Hollywood is full of scripts, and there are a lot of taxi drivers picking up passengers near the writers' guild, and if you look more like a studio boss, they don't mind selling your story by the way.

At the same time, the giants of Hollywood are scrambling for scripts, and some of the best-selling novels have almost been swept away by them.

Today's Kashen is basically the same as those taxi drivers, and the improvement is very limited. At this time, someone told him that our boss wants to see you and bring your script.

Doubt, excitement, worry about gain and loss.

In short, when he came to William White's office, Kashen couldn't judge what mood he was in.

"Sit down, how about coffee? From the look of you, it seems that you haven't slept well."

Kashen could only smile wryly, he would be damned if he could sleep well, he seemed to have no memory of how many times he was rejected.

"Coffee is fine, no sugar added, this is my script."

"Okay, I might need a little time."

"You can do whatever you want, I'm not in a hurry."

William White read the script, and he read it very carefully, but also very slowly.

At this time, Kashen seemed to be more energetic after drinking a cup of coffee. So far, William White is the most serious person. As for the other guys, it's just three to five minutes, and then a sentence is not bad.

"Hey, this story is very interesting and the idea is very special. Are your conditions very harsh? This script seems to be pretty good. It's impossible that no one bought it."

Kashen was a little embarrassed, of course he knew why people said that, that's how the truck driver got his nickname.

Those who ridiculed him for being self-indulgent, although they were interested in the script, all fell silent when they heard about his conditions.

"Mr. White, I want to make this movie myself."

"Ha, no wonder, what movies have you made before?"

"Piranha."

"Tsk, this movie isn't very good. Why do you think you can do it this time?"

"Because I am Cameron, this story has been lingering in my mind, so I will definitely succeed."

"Tsk, how much do you need for shooting?"

"Ten million, I can finish it with ten million."

"Have you seen the speed of life and death? How much do you think it will cost?"

"At least 30 million."

"Haha, your script still needs to be perfected. If you add some hot scenes, believe me, it won't be worth 15 million. You can't use any big-name actors in it, otherwise 20 million won't be enough."

William White knew that Kashen didn't make much money on this movie. The initial budget was only 6 million, but later he actually spent 9 million. In the end, the movie was almost a mess.

"James, you are like this. I invested 15 million to make this movie. The subsequent copyright of this script belongs to me. You are responsible for perfecting the script and shooting. I will give you 8% of the box office. Well, it is only in North America. Of course, I can also Buying out the follow-up copyright, your fee is $800,000. Think about it.”

"No, this movie is yours."

"Okay, if the box office in North America exceeds 100 million, the box office share will be increased by 1%."

William White's conditions are not harsh, on the contrary, the conditions are very generous.

"Let's go to dinner together, I still have some ideas, I want to hear your opinion."

"good."

Kashen does not have the status of later generations, but William White is different. He has already proved his strength. Except for a few directors, there is indeed no one who does not respect his opinion.

The most important point is that Kashen's script is really messy enough. He can shoot this thing by himself. If it is handed over to other directors, I really don't know what it will look like.

William White is different. He came from a major, and his scripts can be used as teaching materials.

Of course, Kashen may not like this kind of script, even Spielberg doesn't like it very much. It's easy to shoot, of course it's easy to shoot, but such a script can't shoot his own style at all.

"Boss, are you sure? These can be done with special effects?"

"Of course, I'll take you to Industrial Light and Magic later, just don't take too many shots, just two or three shots, Lucas is too black-hearted."

"Hehe, there are rumors in the outside world that the special effects he can achieve with five million yuan will be given to you for more than three million yuan."

"Well, it's true. There's just one thing. He invested all the money. According to the current situation, he earns more than five million. This is an old fox."

Ka Shenxin said, if he is an old fox, you are a young fox. This is the consensus of Hollywood.

Although he is slandering his boss, he has to admit that William White does have unique insights into the film.

"Ka Shen, since you have been arrested by me, there is nothing to be polite about, just try to help me make money." Thinking of the wonderful place, William White's saliva flowed out.

Since he failed to cut off the ET aliens, he naturally had to attack the Titanic in advance. Before the birth of this big ship, the box office champion had always been occupied by him.

Although William White didn't care about the name or something, there was still a little entanglement. There is no other reason. According to the current box office situation, the box office champion may be the speed of life and death.

William White needs to keep a low profile. He is now blaringly saying that it doesn't matter if he is a champion. When ET aliens are drawn, someone will immediately jump out and slap him in the face.

"Boss, are you sure?"

"It will be a record for sure and, for quite some time, it will be a championship."

"ok, I get it."

Barry Diller called, mainly to report the progress of the American idol.

Of course, he also wanted to ask, why not tout the speed of life and death.

William White didn't say no to flattery, he only said to downplay the box office champion. As for the others, it doesn't matter, just blow it up casually.

The communication with Lucas is quite pleasant, but he is not interested in truck drivers. With the small investment, it is impossible to get involved.

He was really curious that Cameron's reputation was not very good. The so-called piranha was a movie that hit the street to death.

The funniest thing is not that the movie hit the street. Cameron's performance on the set was also not good. In fact, to say it was not good is an understatement. If it hadn't been for someone to save the scene, the film would never have been finished.

talent?

This really exists.

The guy who graduated from the film school can only get some commercials and MTV tryouts. Cameron can be the director of Piranha 2, how could it be possible that he is not level.

William White knows that the biggest problem with this product is cost control. He needs to arrange a reliable project manager for him, otherwise the movie may also be in trouble. Uglier.
