I Am a Nobleman in England

After visiting the film company in the movie theater line, Arthur looked indifferent. He had long since lost his previous expectations. In the current British film industry, Arthur can only use one tragic word to express his emotion.

Well, what a miserable word!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in dire straits.

Can you imagine the 613 films released in the UK so far this year? And only 7 percent of those films made a profit. No more than a fifth of films costing up to £10 million made a profit.

The 7-year output cannot even match the number of films produced by China in a year.

What's even more sad is that a Harry Potter series has almost wiped out all the registered actors in the UK to participate. Ahem, this is not a compliment, but to say that actors all over the UK are relying on this Harry Potter series. The series of movies have nothing to do with food. . .

How pitiful this is!

You know, the last two of the Harry Potter series have already started filming, which means that many people will lose their jobs after the filming is over.

And at least half of the people in his film company went to participate in the filming of the Harry Potter series of movies, so Arthur saw the situation where only a dozen people stayed behind.

What the hell is there to hope for?

Arthur thought that before he came here, he still wanted to move a few future Hollywood movies to make money, but now it seems that he was completely blinded by his own thinking.

Not only is there a shortage of money, but also talent. What's more serious is that even if the film is produced, as long as it is not released abroad and released in North America, it will not make money, because not only the local audience does not recognize British films, but the market is also very small, which is completely Hollywood. The back garden of the movie.

Therefore, making movies in the UK is not only hopeless, but also dark!

"Boss, in the UK, film producers traditionally obtain funds from the British Film Association Fund and the BBC Film Public Fund, and the investment scale of the British Film Association Fund of 15 million pounds and the BBC Film Public Fund of 11 million pounds is comparable to that of Hollywood. Compared with the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, it seems a bit pitiful.

In addition to financial investment, British films also face huge challenges in terms of talent. "The person in charge of the film company is also a well-known British producer, Rebecca, who sensed the disappointment of Arthur Boleyn, a young aristocrat who just became her boss, and said with a helpless wry smile: "To be honest, to the British I am pessimistic about the future of independent films.

The output of British independent films has been decreasing in recent years. Although the government's policy of attracting inward investment is good for the British film industry, the more stable employment created by large-scale investment has brought troubles to independent films.

Now, when we want to shoot independent films, we often suffer from not being able to recruit relevant cast members, because almost everyone has found a job in the Harry Potter crew, and the contract period is often as long as 9 months. All this makes it more and more difficult to shoot local British films.

So, we can only wait helplessly now, even if there is a shooting project, we can't find anyone to start it. "

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the situation would be so difficult. After hearing what you said, I was really disappointed. You know, I was thinking about whether I could write a story I thought into a script , made into a movie..."

Arthur shook his head with a helpless wry smile, and continued: "It seems that I am thinking too much."

Hearing the words of the young boss,

Rebecca, the person in charge of the film company, looked at Binns, the CEO of the theater, and after looking at each other, said with some expectation: "Boss, if the story is exciting, and you are willing to invest in it, there is no problem in forming a crew." ..."

Arthur looked at Rebecca, who couldn't laugh or cry, and looked at Rebecca, who was excited and looking forward to him. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "The story is a good story, and I can also invest part of the money. You can guarantee that the film will make money. ?"

"Ahem..." As a middle-aged woman, Rebecca blushed at the young boss' rhetorical question, and she was very embarrassed. She was also crazy about poverty and idleness. The boss is a billionaire with a lot of money, and he has the intention of making a movie. Naturally, he has to dig into the project first.

Seeing Rebecca's embarrassment, Binns shook his head and smiled wryly to relieve the embarrassing situation, "Boss, if possible, you can write the script and give it to Rebecca to see if she can draw it. A part of the investment may be able to work."

"Hehe, to be honest, seeing the status quo of British films, I really lost the idea of ​​investing, but since it is my own film company, you still have some spirits, so it is worth encouraging, how about this, I think The story is a horror story of secret rooms, disasters, and monsters, which is related to a nightmare I had.

Believe that this kind of horror movie doesn’t cost much, and it’s okay to operate with a small budget. I’ll give you five million pounds. My only requirement is that all people are from the UK. What I want is a British movie. Can it be done? "

Arthur looked at Rebecca, who was disappointed and somewhat resentful, and he couldn't bear it. It was really sad that British movies were mixed to this extent, but it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of these filmmakers. He still Decided to test the waters with a Hollywood script and a small investment.

As long as the movie is not too bad, I believe that the routine of monster thrillers can still recover the cost. Moreover, the more difficult it is, the more shining the results are in the desert. The company prospered and became a benchmark for British cinema.

"Really? Boss—" Rebecca, who had already given up any hope, looked at the young boss with wide eyes, and confirmed with excitement.

"Hehe, really, I've given you a chance, it's up to you whether you can grasp it, I'm still very sure about this story, I used to think about writing it and pitching it to a Hollywood film company.

Also, whether you can continue filming depends on the money you earn from this film, and here I am. . . "As he said, Arthur pointed to his head and continued to smile: "There are many good stories, you know, I still have a halo of a writer on my head. "

"Please don't worry, boss, we will do our best and we will never mess up!" Although Rebecca knew that there were many factors to consider in order for a movie to make money, she couldn't care less now. Let alone the money, the people and machines in the film company are all rusty.
