America’s Big Hero

There was a piece of paper on the table, with many words and Chinese characters scrawled on it.

Sean still likes to write Chinese characters while thinking.

This is the 'one year plan' he has been thinking about for himself.

First: Shoot the movie and let Sean Films gain a complete foothold in Hollywood.

The reason is not only to teach the free American people how to rob... It is to enrich the entertainment and cultural life of the American people, but also to drive a nail in Hollywood. Movies and TV are one of the best propaganda and brainwashing weapons. Given tampering, how much darkness was washed away by the film.

Second: Get rid of the Dimio criminal group and expand your control territory.

At present, the fact that he engages in 'cottage wine' has not been exposed, and he can still intercept excess profits, but Xiao En knows that this kind of thing will be revealed sooner or later. Before that, he must try to expand the territory and search for more profits.

What's more, once the matter is exposed, the huge profits of the 'cottage wine' will inevitably attract many black forces to deal with him. If his foundation is not deep enough by then, not only the business will not be able to keep it, but the f*cking people may not be able to keep it at that time.

Third: continue to carry out intensive cultivation on the current site.

The site I currently occupy belongs to a part of the Greater New York metropolitan area, which actually has great potential for development, and I will further develop it myself.

Thoroughly developing it will not only make money, but also allow one's own roots to be deeply inserted into the surrounding areas, allowing its influence to penetrate everywhere.

And there are many projects that can be developed, such as 'underground casino', 'private lottery', 'strip club', 'underground boxing ring', 'black market', etc., legal and illegal, many things can be developed.

Among them, the second goal takes the longest time. Sean already has a lot of information on the Dimio criminal group in his hands.

But too much on the surface.

After decades of development, the Dimio criminal group has stabilized its organization, and the head of the group is elected.

The group has a total of 26 small families, which are distributed in various cities in New Jersey. Among them, who is the owner, who are the main members, and what are the legal and illegal projects that Sean has mastered.

But these things can't help Sean fight or even overthrow the Dimio criminal group.

He also needs to know how close these families are to each other, who is an ally with whom, who has grievances with whom, and at a deeper level, how deep is the relationship with the political circles, and who will protect them if something goes wrong.

Only when all the information is complete, Sean can find a way to split the Dimio criminal group. Only when they are in civil turmoil, Sean will have the opportunity to do it.

Before that, Sean couldn't do anything, he had to keep a low profile and prevent the other party from discovering his private little moves.

Therefore, at present, Sean can only focus on filming and in-depth development of Newark surroundings.

...

"The script is not bad." Norris flew from Hollywood to Newark again, this time when he came here with a lot of spirit.

Because the $240,000 promised by Sean has arrived!

This made him feel that following Sean might make more money than staying with the previous company!

Even if it's only 2% of the shares.

"But the question is, boss, how much money are you going to spend on filming? In the final analysis, filming depends on investment." Norris now wants to analyze the problem from the perspective of a professional, which is why Sean invited him.

"The funds I can currently raise are only 4.6 million." Sean confessed, 1.2 million of which was placed by Norris by the previous drug criminals, and 1.8 million was robbed a few days ago... a few days ago for Tian Xingdao .

After all, it had only been in operation for half a year, and it cost a lot of money to set up a security company, and Sean didn't have much money.

Norris smacked his lips, and said very tactfully: "Or, let's go to the video market."

Sean didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"Okay, okay, let me think about it!" Norris frantically rubbed his Mediterranean hairstyle, which made the hair volume that was not much hair less.

It's no wonder Norris is worried, it's because Sean's request is too much.

This is a crime film, or an urban crime film, which involves robberies, gun battles, chases, etc. This is completely a big production routine, and every frame of the shot is made with dollars.

Unless it is made into a five-cent special effect.

As far as Sean's more than 4 million US dollars is concerned, at least Norris thinks it is not enough for the gunfight scene.

What's more, there are actors' money, director's money, film, shooting team, equipment, exploding vehicles, simulated weapons and ammunition...

There are also distribution costs and advertising costs. Normally, a film like this would cost about 15 million.

Take "Scarface" filmed in 1983 as an example. The production cost of that play was as high as 30 million US dollars.

Of course, Sean never thought of hiring a superstar like Al Pacino, otherwise the 4.6 million would not be enough for his salary.

Sean also knew that it was a bit embarrassing for Norris, but I have no money.

Seeing Norris' frantic look, Sean had no choice but to say, "Tell me where you need to spend the most money, and I'll give you a way to save money."

"Okay!" Norris rubbed his face, calmed down and said, "The robbers in front didn't spend much money when planning, but when we rob the bank, we need the scene layout and find a building like this." The house, and then renovating it to look like a bank and a vault, was a huge expense, and every shot had to be redecorated.”

"The second one is the shootout scene, which is extremely expensive." Norris gestured: "If the effect is good, it must be filmed on-site, and then you have to apply to the city government for a time slot to close the road, which requires a large number of extras and needs to be broken. Many vehicles require professional stand-in actors, and ordinary actors can only put on a pose, especially in the later part of the battle in the abandoned factory that you designed."

"These shots are the most difficult to shoot. If you want to get good results, you have to use long shots. In the long shots, if there is a problem with an extra or a stand-in, you have to reshoot. The time, film, and venue costs are horribly high."

"By the way, the Actors Union and related laws stipulate that these must be insured by an insurance company, which is also a lot of money."

"Any more questions?" Sean looked at Norris and asked.

"Uh...it's gone." The corner of Norris' mouth twitched, isn't that enough?

"Wait for my news!" Sean said and stood up immediately.
