If a director directs a film that has a public cost of $11 million and a box office in North America exceeds $50 million, and then directs a film of the same type, what is the normal salary?

In this era, it started at least US$3 million, and even involved later income sharing.

Ronan took advantage of James Huang's situation at that time and signed two film contracts with him. Judging from the situation at that time, the director's salary of $300,000 is very suitable for James Huang, but after the success of "Human Purge Plan", everything changed.

Success and failure are paradise and hell in the business circle.

So, when Edward came to Ronan, Ronan increased the North American box office bonus of $300,000 based on the $300,000 salary.

As for whether Edward found Ronan and asked for a raise for James Huang, it was not important whether it was driven by the agent's duties or James Huang's instructions.

No one wants to get a pay that doesn't fit in with their value.

Ronan did not expect to lower James Huang's salary to such an incredible level when filming the sequel to "Human Purge" and "Death is Coming".

If we can still cooperate, it is inevitable that the salary will surge.

James Huang made such a promise, and Ronan was basically satisfied.

Ronan talked to James Huang about the upcoming shooting, and then went to the producer's office and patiently looked through the crew's recent progress.

By examining the various work of the crew, you can also initially judge the executor's abilities. People with poor abilities will naturally not cooperate again.

He was impressed by location manager Brian.

Most of the crew's outdoor shooting was selected in some small towns in Southern California. The venue cost was extremely low, and even contacted more than a dozen private venues that could be used for free shooting. The most expensive was the rental fee at Los Angeles International Airport.

The total cost of rental of the outdoor shooting site will not exceed US$200,000.

For such a film with a large number of outdoor scenes, it has saved a lot of money.

Positions like location manager can save money while finding a suitable shooting location. It can be said that they have a very good ability.

Ronan specifically wrote down Brian's name.

And Andrew.

Although he had never managed such a large crew before, Andrew had accumulated rich management experience when he was on the video-tape movie set, and his personality was relatively easy-going, which effectively regulated internal conflicts of the crew, and also eliminated Ronan and director James Huang's worries.

This is the case with the crew. Many trivial things look inconspicuous, and once they break out, they may seriously affect their normal operation.

James Huang, Glenn Morgan, Brian, Andrew, etc., can be said to be talents.

After reading the crew's work logs, financial reports and other information, Ronan specifically recalled these people, namely James Huang's Chinese name Huang Yiyu, who once left his memories.

The memory of Huang Yiyu is divided into two parts: one is the great success of the "Death is Coming" series, and the other is the disastrous defeat of the "Dragon Ball" movie.

The latter has been rotten to a certain level.

Ronan roughly made a judgment that James Huang seems to be only suitable for shooting horror movies, and other types of films, especially action movies, seems not very good.

As the owner of the film company, Ronan quickly made a decision to squeeze James Huang's value in horror films as much as possible.

When Ronan left the crew, he met Green Morgan, the screenwriter of "The God of Death".

"Hi, Glenn." Ronan took the initiative to shout, "I haven't taken any other jobs recently?"

After the script was finalized, Glenn Morgan completed the screenwriter contract with the crew.

Glenn Morgan smiled politely and said, "No, I'm all about this project now."

Ronan walked out of the studio with him and said as he walked: "I am very confident in the project "The God of Death" and the chances of success are high."

"I hope so." Although Glenn Morgan is the playwright, his confidence is obviously not as strong as Ronan.

Ronan continued: "You and James' talent in the horror thriller type is trustworthy." He didn't go around in circles and said directly: "Glenn, do you want to continue working together?"

Glenn Morgan looked at Ronan in surprise: "Aren't we working together?"

"It's not the project "The God of Death is Coming." Ronan waved his hand and said, "As the script doctor, you have revised the script "The Human Clear Plan" I wrote, and are very familiar with this series. I want to ask you to create a script for the sequel."

Glenn Morgan thought for a while and said, "Yes, you go and talk to my agent. Also, I will have to wait for a while before I can have time in the second half of the year."

Ronan nodded: "No hurry, the sequel will not be launched next year as soon as possible."

"Human Purge Plan" has already had a successful start. As long as the subsequent sequels are not rashly changed, the problem of shooting and producing a profitable trilogy is not very big.

Glenn Morgan revised the script written by Ronan and undoubtedly had the ability to create sequel scripts.

The next day, Ronan went to talk to Glenn Morgan's agent. After Glenn Morgan said hello, the two sides basically reached a cooperation intention.

The screenwriter's pay is very cheap, and Glenn Morgan is not a well-known screenwriter, so the pay is only $50,000.

Luo Nan didn't do much trouble, after all, he is also busy at this stage.

Entering the studio where the crew of "Ace Agents" is located, finding the actor training venue, and after watching the actor's movement training, Ronan felt that he had entered the World Expo.

Arabs, Asians, Africans, Latinos, Eastern Europeans, traditional whites, etc. are all available in all kinds of people.

Director Paul Greengrass and producer George Clint went to inspect the outdoor venue, and the crew temporarily handed over to the deputy producer to take charge of daily work.

"This is a suggestion made by Mr. Clint." The fat-fat associate producer stood beside Ronan and explained: "He believes that the ideal audience for this film is minority."

Ronan nodded: "This is a very correct idea."

It seems that George has gradually figured out some tricks.

"Please pay attention to implementing the concept of freedom and equality within the crew." Ronan reminded: "Racial discrimination is absolutely not allowed to appear on the crew."

In a film like this, where major characters gather a large number of ethnic groups, if a racial discrimination scandal broke out in a crew, the harm will definitely be fatal. He specifically emphasized: "No matter whoever involves racial discrimination, all crews will be eliminated."

The deputy producer immediately responded.

Ronan also said: "I will ask someone to develop targeted publicity, and the crew will also contact media that tend to be ethnic minority to visit the set, and build more relationships with them, and let the main actors accept more interviews from these media."

This video doesn't want to lose too much, but you still have to find a way for minority audiences.

In the British film in the previous life, many action scenes in large scenes, Ronan almost all canceled when writing the script, mainly because of a funding issue.

The big scenes and big stunts will inevitably bring great investment.

Perhaps Paul Greengrass' unique style and the identity of the main actor's minority can bring him some surprises.

There is no fear of losing money. Embassy Films does not have the ability to publish overseas at all and does not have the ability to extend its tentacles overseas for the time being. Ronan will pack and sell the overseas copyrights of "The God of Death", "Ace Agent" and several previous videotape movies in Shahai Entertainment.

As long as "The God of Death" is a great success, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the product package.

Ronan watched the actors' movement training again, and could vaguely detect Paul Greengras' style in his previous life. The movement guidance design was simple, sharp and practical, and it did not have the fancy things that had hit Hollywood in this era.

This action style is matched with Paul Greengras' shooting and editing, and is very ornamental.

However, don't use 3D to watch, otherwise you will vomit.

In mid-April, "The God of Death" started filming on time. After attending the press conference for the start-up, Ronan temporarily handed over the crew to Andrew, and his main energy turned to "The Witch Blair".
