Finalizing Director

The company's actions were fast and they have already started contacting the sets and cameramans.

Carl has also gotten used to the life style and has basically adjusted to his life. While the other matters were going on, the important matter was to decide the director.

The director which company was going to hire for the previous project was cancelled on spot by Carl. He is sending so much money, so of course he can't spend it on someone he wasn't sure about.

In the end, after careful consideration, Carl decided to go with the orignal director of the "Scream". Although a little expensive, but Wes Carven can still be afforded. There is a saying in hollywood, there is no only actor for a role, but only suitable actors. But this saying narrows a lot to the circle of directors. Director's role is much greater than actors in the movie. He can decide whether the movie will be hit or flop through the lens of his camera.

The script was sent to director Wes Craven through his agent, and the director also showed interest in it. After the initial contacts, Carl and director's agent met each other face to face at Greyson picture's office.

Wes Craven's agent Scott was a middle aged man with a low hairline and a chubby face, looking a little cute. But there is one thing, you can't say the word cute to an agent. They are like Sharks who opens there mouth directly to bite. Just like now,

"Salary of five million and 15 percent box office share."

Carl immediately denied. The agent wasn't discouraged: "I think my client is worth the price. This is a horror movie and Director Wes Carven is expert in this field."

Carl didn't deny the second part, after all horror movies is director Wes Craven's speciality: "2 million dollars."

The agent didn't take it: "5 million dollar plus 10 percent profit shares."

"No, 2.5 million dollars and no box office share." said Carl

"3 million dollars and 10 percent box office profit."

Carl spoke a little aggressively "Mr. Scott, Director Wes Craven is a good director, but he is not Spielberg."

The agent said: "3 million dollars and 7 percent box office profit share."

"3 million dollars is the last."

The agent finally said: "3 million and five percent share. This is the last."

Seeing it had reached the agent's bottom line, Kevin said: "It's okay, but director has to sign the sequel."

The agent thought for a while: "But the sequels salary will increase."

Kevin said: "For second movie, 5 million and 5 percent of the box office profit."

"7 percent."

Kevin extended his hand, "Happy cooperation."

The agent smiled: "Happy cooperation."

After dealing with the director's agent, Carl slumped on the chair to rest. It is too tiring. If it was an actor, he wouldn't have given even this much. But this a director, and successful director's treatment in Hollywood is the best.

The box office profit he promised is the five percent of the share company will receive. In Hollywood, from the total box office income, Cinema/Theaters take 40 percent. The remaining sixty percent is divided between the production company and the distributors.

In the end, the production companies usually get 25-35 percent of the box office income. The share he will give to the director is also 5 percent of the total production company will receive.

Although the income production companies receive may seem small, but there are more than one ways for the studio to make money. For example, Dvd sales and film props.

At evening, Carl came to the "Glysus Bar" to meet his friend Jim. Jim is a friend of the original owner of the body and a producer in Hollywood. Although he himself has the experience of being a producer, but he hasn't produced any movies with this body yet. Carl Greyson in fact was a company boss and an investor. It was Jim Moore who introduced him to Hollywood. Jim was also the producer of Greyson picture's first two movies. He came here to meet Jim, after all his own employs will not let him be the sole producer of the project. He needs Jim to be the other producer.

Carl found Jim siting by the bar chatting with a hot girl. Jim saw him coming and stood up to greet him. Jim is a half american and half french by blood.With a body height of 1.75 m and lean sature, he looks a like typical passionate French man. He is one year older than Carl.

Jim came forward and hugged Carl: "You look handsome as always my friend."

Carl greeted him back with a hug, and two friends went to the bar to drink and chat.
