Chapter 312: Filming

Genius remembers the address of this site for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? As Xiao Hua expected, the next day, all American newspapers, even many sports newspapers around the world, published Richard. Germany sent a cart of steel pulon to pay the fine...
Don't think about it, Stern must have smashed things in his office because of this.
Since playing Richard to enter the league, Stern has smashed a lot of office stuff anyway, just changed the TV several times...
...
While everyone thought that the Alliance Management Committee would punish Richard with further anger, the Management Committee was exceptionally calm.
For this matter, they did not hold any press conference, as if they did not care about it at all...
On the contrary, bad news came from the labor negotiations. The two sides have now collapsed, and the player union is preparing to hold a player strike.
Although it is the off-season at the moment, the players are not saying that there is no job at all. For example, some charity activities done by the team still need players to attend...
It is clear that these activities cannot be done right now. The player union wants to strike. This is for the benefit of the player. Which player will risk the world, standing at the opposite of the player union at this juncture...
With the news of the collapse of the labor talks, there was little concern about Richard’s fines. Everyone is more concerned about whether the NBA’s new season will collapse because of the talks. affected.
...
No one knows whether there is any impact. Anyway, it has no impact on Richard.
The training must definitely continue, but Richard and the assistants of the Trail Blazers are inconvenient to continue to stay in West Lafayette, anyway, the training has entered the right track, Richard and they will not stay there, nothing is too big Impact.
...
Just after returning to Portland with Stevens, Richard immediately received good news.
Paramount Pictures is preparing to bring "Violent Black" to the big screen, and to this end talks with Richard about the acquisition of film and television copyrights.
In 1994, Paramount was involved in a basketball movie. They invited Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway to start shooting the basketball movie "Hot Head".
At that time they invested about 20 million US dollars in this movie, and then the global box office harvested 30 million US dollars.
It didn't make much profit, but with the popularity of the "Slam Dunk" starring Jordan in 1996 and the "Heads Up" starring Ray Allen, it was easy to earn 70 million dollars at the box office. Paramount Pictures Again aimed at the basketball movie.
The air slam dunk has invested a full 80 million US dollars, and the global box office has earned 230 million US dollars, which is obviously crazy...
In the head-to-head movie, just two months after it was released, the director was actually thinking of looking for Kobe, but Kobe rejected it. Finally, he couldn’t find the same time as Kobe, and it looked like The immature Ray Allen, in the end, they madly attracted 70 million US dollars in the global box office!
It seems that it is a lot less than the big dunk in the air, but the heads-up only invested 20 million US dollars. In terms of revenue ratio, it is higher than the big dunk...
With the big sale of these two films, Paramount couldn't sit still, and took aim at Richard's "Blending Black".
They are thinking about shooting high school rolls first. After all, if they shoot high school rolls, they don't need to invest too much, at least they can save a lot of money on the actor's salary.
In addition, Violent Black itself has a very high fan base, and once the movie is released, those original fans alone can bring quite a good box office income.
As long as it is not crudely manufactured, it is basically a profitable business.
The only thing that will affect the box office is that there may be no fans in the movie because of the lack of stars in the movie.
...
"Mr. Richard, five million dollars is already the limit we can give. You have to know that the total investment we estimate for this movie is only 15 million dollars..." Luo, producer of Paramount Pictures En-Sheldon said very sincerely.
Richard raised a finger...
This finger is not cheap, from Shelton's words, this finger represents at least 10 million US dollars.
"Ten million dollars is also my bottom line. Even if you sell 10 million dollars to you, it belongs to you!" Richard did not give in at all.
"Sir, that's $10 million, it's not a small amount!" Shelton looked bitter, and originally thought he could send Richard with two or three million dollars.
Obviously, Richard was not that good to pass. It would cost 10 million to die, not even a dime.
"I know it is not a small number, but you have to know what this ten million can bring to you. In addition to the stable number of viewers, I can also make my players show up in your movies, all-star players! "
"In addition to Kobe, Jermaine and others, there are some high-ranking rookies who will appear, and the average playing time is not less than three minutes, how?" Richard knocked on the table and said with a smile.
When Shelton heard this, the whole person was shocked...
"Are you sure?! Mr. Richard, this is not a joke!"
"Naturally sure, but if I advise you to shoot, hurry up and take advantage of their training in West Lafayette. If you miss this time, you will not have such a good chance!" Richard said with a smile.
Shelton was stunned. He knew that the $10 million would never be injustice. At present, there are more than thirty players training in West Lafayette~EbookFREE.me~ Among them are the NBA All-Star starting level players, With the NCAA's arrogant...
If it is really as Richard said, this tens of millions of flowers is simply worth it!
"Happy cooperation! Mr. Richard!"
"We will start casting as soon as possible, and then strive to start in mid-August!" Shelton stood up excitedly.
Since there is already a violent black plot on the scene, they only need to change the script to suffice. This process can be completed in less than a week.
After all, it's just an hour and a half movie, not a big TV series.
As for casting, this may take a little longer, but one month is enough...
"Good! Happy cooperation!"
"I wish you a big box office sale in advance!" Richard also smiled and stood up, shaking hands with Shelton.
...
Speaking of it, Richard actually actually thought about investing in making movies himself, but after thinking about it, it’s better not to humiliate yourself as a foreigner. 'S sign...
Now that Paramount is willing to take over and is sincere, Richard naturally has no reason not to agree.
As for the box office where the movie will be released by that time, according to Richard's estimate, it will definitely not be worse...
However, if the box office is exploding, it is unlikely to be possible. After all, this is only a high school volume plot. By then, it can be quite good to have 40 to 50 million box office income.
If you arrive at the college paper, the box office will be better...
However, when Paramount wanted to take college papers, the price was naturally another matter. At that time, Richard's disciples estimated to be able to put together an All-Star team to help Paramount in a friendly role. This area is a thousand. Ten thousand dollars is not enough.
