For the next half month, Ryan has been familiar with the surrounding environment and read various books related to shooting, and the time is very full.

During this period, Helen called and said that a small crew recruited temporary actors and asked him to act as the background cloth.

Ryan refused without thinking. With such a job, he obviously couldn't understand the filming process of the crew.

Similar to "Forrest Gump", such opportunities for a large crew to work are naturally not something that can be encountered casually, and can only wait for opportunities slowly.

Fortunately, the money in the credit card can last a few days, and if it really doesn't work, it's not too late to act as a background cloth.

However, in the next few days, Helen became nothing.

Ryan was not much disappointed in this. After all, the incident in the crew of "Forrest Gump" has become a joke and laughing stock for many people, and he is also famous.

As a person with a reputation and no good reputation, obviously there will be no crew to hire easily.

This is a normal thing.

"It seems that I can only find a bank." Ryan thought about it, feeling that instead of wasting time as a background cloth, it would be better to directly find the bank to bring some money first.

Of course, the amount of this money will not be too much, and it will only cost about tens of thousands of dollars to die.

But before that, he first had to write a script, a video that could be shot in tens of thousands of dollars. The content is simple, the plot is straightforward, the fewer staff, the lower the cost, the better.

At the same time, there must be enough publicity and selling points, preferably successful cases that have appeared in previous lives.

He had various success stories in his mind, and he could just pick one out of it.

Thinking of this, Ryan immediately found the paper and pen and began to slowly conceive.

He has watched many videos in his previous life, but now so long has passed, and now he needs little by little memories, and it is impossible to remember some details clearly, so he can only fill them slowly according to the memory.

In addition, there are inevitably differences in time points, and the plot must be in line with the current time period.

In addition, although he had filmed many films on the other side of the Pacific in his previous life, he is now Hollywood. Many places are different from those on the other side of the Pacific, and there are inevitably differences in experience.

The other side of the Pacific is traditional Eastern culture, while Hollywood is great Americanism, and this must be remembered.

In this way, there will not be many videos to choose from, or even a handful of them.

Literary videos can basically be counted except for them. No matter in their past and present lives, he has never filmed literary videos, nor has he that artistic cell.

There is no need to consider online videos, and there is no survival soil for online videos at all.

Commercial videos are the type he was good at in his previous life. Unfortunately, he said "no money" and did not have to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. He didn't have to think about making commercial videos.

There are also horror videos. In Hollywood or the entire North American market, there are often low-cost fear videos. They make a big fortune with small profits, and it is not difficult to shoot, but the difficulty lies in money.

Even the lowest cost horror films require more than 100,000 US dollars, far beyond his budget.

According to Ryan's plan, it is best to keep the cost of the video between 30,000 and 40,000 US dollars. If there is more, the bank may not lend him a loan.

There are still American comedy, just like horror movies, American comedy is also a typical example of small profits and big profits.

But let’s not talk about the cost issue for now.

It would be a disaster to have someone who grew up on the other side of the Pacific film an American comedy.

"It is obvious that you can't shoot a video for $30,000 to 40,000. It's better to shoot one shot to the end, and there shouldn't be too much background cloth."

"Actors are best if they are just graduates, so they can save a lot of money."

Ryan's thinking became clearer and clearer. The ballpoint pen in his hand moved quickly. He spent the whole afternoon considering the plot direction, choosing actors, cameras, etc.

The plot of this film is very simple, and the actors don’t need any acting skills. Even the title is very simple, just called "Blair the Witch".

A documentary or to be precise, a pseudo-documentary with a horror color.

This is one of the most classic marketing success stories in Hollywood in the 1990s, and one of them can even be removed.

The plot of the film itself is very simple, and the quality is even similar to the experimental short film he shot, and there is nothing to praise.

All the highlights are in publicity and marketing.

However, Ryan was somewhat worried that he could not find a suitable issuing company.

Even if a distribution company finally agrees to issue it, it will not be too much to buy out the copyright of the video.

Yes, it is a buyout, and the entire copyright of the video is bought out at one time.

Divide!

He couldn't even imagine that it would be a good result to have an issuing company to buy it out at a good price.

Of course, more generous distribution companies and other videos can be sold well, and may also give you a considerable red envelope.

"It seems that in addition to the script, you also need to make a promotional plan."

Ryan couldn't help but sigh, forcing a director to write a promotional plan, which was simply unbelievable.

But in "The Witch Blair", the highlights of this film are all in promotional and marketing, and the content has no selling points. If you want to sell it at a suitable price, you must have a wonderful publicity plan.

"There are also things that you must be very cautious when choosing an issuing company. It is best to choose a more reliable and reliable one."

Ryan thought about the name of the Hollywood distribution company that he could remember, but he could never think of which distribution company has a more reliable reputation.

He knows very well what Hollywood distribution companies are. Once the price cannot be negotiated, they will immediately turn against each other, and even stab you in the back, leaving you with nothing.

I don’t know how many film companies and directors on the other side of the Pacific were cheated by Hollywood distribution companies in my previous life.

Lao Touzi is a typical example.

In the next few days, Ryan first took the script to the editorial association for filing, which was considered an insurance policy.

In the remaining time, in addition to sorting out a detailed character characteristics and outline, it is all placed on the publicity and planning plan.

The distribution and promotion of "The Witch Blair" in his previous life mainly relies on the Internet as a carrier, newspapers, TV stations and other traditional media as only an auxiliary.

But the current scale of the Internet is far from meeting the requirements, so we can only rely on traditional media newspapers and TV stations as the main body of publicity.

To put it bluntly, it is a hype that makes it difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the film, and becomes a hot topic in North America today.

As for the truth coming out in the future, what will happen to the fooled media and movie fans, he no longer considers it. At most, he doesn't sign it on the director's name. Anyway, he doesn't want to be criticized by this infamy.

The issuing company will not care about these things, as long as it can make money, or simply register an offshore company to issue it.
Chapter completed!
