6 Chapter 6 A new starting point (seeking recommendation and collection) (1/2)

Making a movie is not an easy task, and Lehman is very clear about making adequate preparations, especially in terms of funding.

So, the next day, he showed up on time at the coffee shop where Christopher Lambert had agreed to meet.

When we met yesterday, as an investor, he put forward some new requirements: for example, increase the investment budget to 500,000 euros and account for 50% of the income.

For Lehman, who was holding the empty glove white wolf approach, there was absolutely no reason to refuse. He was coy for a while and pretended to be reluctant to agree to the investor's new conditions.Therefore, he came here today to sign a contract.

”Thank you for your support, Mr. Lambert.”

In the cafe, Lehmann signed his name and pressed his thumbprint under the witness of a lawyer.

”You're welcome, this is what I should do.”

”...”

It wasn't until this time that Lehman finally got the money to start the film as he wished, so when bidding farewell to each other, he deliberately shook hands with Christopher Lambert, ”This will be a pleasant cooperation.”

Lambert also smiled and responded: ”I think so too.”

After speaking, he took the lawyer out of the cafe.

Lehman looked at his back, shrugged, relieved his excitement, and when his mood calmed down a bit, he also left the cafe.

On the way, he went to a Swiss bank. Sure enough, he inquired that there was an extra 500,000 euros in the newly opened account.Christopher Lambert didn't cheat him.

All the way back home, Lyman sat on the bed in the bedroom and began to think about how he should use the money.

First of all, this money certainly cannot be used to invest in the filming, at least about 50,000 euros.

After all, making movies is risky, even if he has a lot of memories about movies in later generations, but this does not mean that he is absolutely reliable.In case of failure, the money left will also prevent him from falling into trouble immediately.

The days after I just crossed over, Lehman still has lingering fears, and he finally got the investment, but of course he couldn't be overwhelmed.

As a sane person, this 50,000 euros is the way he left for himself.

No one can guarantee that his first film will be recognized by the film market.

He has experience, yes, but it's mostly in TV dramas, making movies, this is the first time in his life.

Not counting the predecessor, Lehman didn't even consider that movie his own.

So, there are only 450,000 euros left in the film project.

If you don't have much money, you have to think about the design of the script content.As for the script written by the predecessor used to fool investment, he threw it aside.With the ambiguous and pornographic story frame, only Europe likes to play this set. Lehman doesn't like this accent.

What is the difference between literary and artistic films and pornographic films?

Without thinking about it, Lehman began to recall the great works he had watched in his previous life, hoping to find a movie suitable for his situation.

The capital investment is small, so it must be produced at a low cost. The lower the cost, the better. After all, Lehman is a novice, and I don’t know what will happen when shooting, so I need to set aside a budget accordingly. Prevent possible problems.

Then the issues of scene change, the number of actors, camera positions, and behind-the-scenes staff must all be considered.

With such a screening, there are not too many movies.

In the past two years, there was an atypical successful route like ”Blair the Witch”. The production cost was only 60,000 US dollars, but it easily won hundreds of millions of dollars in box office results in North America. However, this method is not suitable for Lehman. Most of the credit for the success of the film is the amazing investment of the distribution company in the promotion.

Marketing expenses are as high as tens of millions of dollars.If Lyman had so much money, he would not have to think about films like Blair the Witch.

Of course, he doesn't have a distribution company willing to take over the distribution work. Whether it can be released or not, there are still two things to say.

Therefore, movies of similar nature, such as ”Ling Dong-Ghost Record”, will not work either.

So, what are the good options?

Lyman turned his mind, and for a long time, the name of a movie came to mind.

”Buried alive”!
