Chapter 282 Hellboy

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, towering buildings were lifted up one after another.

Gilmo del Toro looked at the man in front of him, with a lot of thoughts.

Firefly Pictures, along the way, found that the department staff did not have many employees, and was obviously still in its infancy. Similar small production companies are everywhere in Hollywood.

The only advantage is that Firefly Pictures has already had good project development, and the market performance of "Saw" is obvious to all.

The agent has mentioned before that it is "Saw 2", and has once again joined forces with Paramount Pictures.

There is also the cooperation news released by Warner, which adds a bit of gimmick capital.

But it wasn't his business, until York came to him.

The circle of making this area is too concentrated, and he himself has had enough of the strength of the six major Hollywood players.

As soon as Toro thought of the new work ideas he had come up with, it was denied in this way and asked to follow the market trend to make modifications, Toro felt upset.

Before this, apart from having a falling out with Xinyi Film, no other company has come to contact him.

Sony Columbia Pictures is more interested in his new work and also reveals his willingness to invest.

But he has not yet responded because a condition he proposed was rejected.

After so many years of entering the industry, he has been in the art coach for more than 15 years. He wants to show off those interesting settings.

But the question is, there are countless excellent scripts or stories in the industry, so why do you have to choose to invest in him?

So he came up with a solution to sell it in conjunction with his studio.

After all, no matter how it is, he has some outstanding results.

Besides, are opportunities achieved through fighting for?

Even if the other party disagrees, it will not affect him much.

"Did you bring a script?" Leman said after thinking for a long time.

"Bring it." When Gilmo del Toro heard that there was a chance, he quickly took out the written script from his bag, and accompanied by a comic book.

The cover of the comic contains the words "Hellboy" and the movie title given by the script is also this.

I think the story is based on this comic.

When I opened the script, I saw that the son of Satan was summoned by his fellow disciples during World War II. I wanted to use it as a weapon of war and save his side's killing weapon on the verge of extinction. However, the place where he was engaged in a secret ceremony was discovered and bombed by the Allies. Instead, the Hellboy fell into the hands of the Allies, helping them to complete various tasks that were completely difficult to complete, smashing all forces that dared to stop justice...

Well, the plot is very American.

Moreover, this script is the same as the script written by many directors, and it has one bad habit, that is, it is very rough.

The details of the movie are often not explained clearly, and the characters are very few in design. The action scenes are mentioned in one stroke, probably because I want to wait until the filming starts to let the action guide perform on the spot.

However, directors usually conceive the films in their minds, and the actors and photographers are just the difficulties.

Lehman scratched his head and said curiously: "How did you think of making such a movie?"

"I think Hellboy is cool. I wanted to adapt it when I read comics before, but at that time, there was no chance." Gilmo del Toro explained the original intention of the shooting, and then continued: "Mr. Lehman, you can look at the image I designed for Hellboy. He will definitely be the wildest among all comic adaptations. I believe that many viewers will definitely be interested in him by then."

"The story is a bit too old-fashioned." Lehman said tactfully.

Toro was a little cold, but fortunately Lehman did not refuse directly. He still fought for a moment: "There are many audiences in this comic, and it is naturally worth adapting. Moreover, I only need to invest 50 million yuan. I also have some money left. If you want to say the risks, it should not be big, and there is no problem in getting the money back."

Lehman originally wanted to help him change the script, but the plot of this story was completely based on the Hellboy. In order to take care of comic fans, Toro basically did not make any major changes to the setting.

I really don't know where to start.

"If I don't invest in your project, would you refuse to join Firefly Pictures?"

"This..." Gilmo del Toro hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "At least there will be no plan for the time being."

To increase persuasion, he said: "My studio will also take orders, and we are not short of work."

Lehman nodded after hearing this.

Toro certainly means that his studio does not lack opportunities and there is no special need to join a production company.

If it weren't for this project, it might be better to be free.

Leman remained silent, and a lot of thoughts suddenly turned into his mind, and then quietly observed it. Gilmo del Toro's mentality became a little anxious.

Probably because it was not going well.

He thought for a while and said, "I can invest, but you have to promise me a condition."

Gilmo del Toro said: "Mr. Lehman, please say."

Lehman said: "Your studio is just like what you said before. Join Firefly Pictures, and take on jobs in the future, and give priority to your own film projects. Of course, we will also give more fair salaries in the industry, or even higher."

The studio of the gyro is a masterpiece, and the costumes and apparel are a masterpiece in the industry. It can be seen from the movies he made that he pays attention to this aspect.

The production department of Firefly Film now has no shortage of talents in clothing, production, photography, lighting and recording, and the existing personnel are completely sufficient.

With their joining, the company's production department will probably be able to get on track as soon as possible.

"As for this project, the plot has been a bit slow. Try to concentrate more of the Hellboy fight scenes, and other branches can be reduced as much as possible."

Toro thought about the idea of ​​Leman and nodded seriously.

He is actually not a master of script writing. He pays more attention to the filming of movies that allow him to freely shoot the strange settings he wants to show during the shooting. As long as he can shoot it quickly and the small requirements of the investors, as long as it is not excessive, he can still agree happily.

"The investment budget was initially set at 60 million, and Firefly Pictures will bear 50 million of them. You join this project with a basic salary of 4.5 million plus an investment share of 10 million. Are there any problems?"

This guy earned 2 million in "Blade 2", but because the market performance was OK after the movie was released, it was normal to double it.
