"Ye, although our company is still very small now, I am confident that sooner or later, Caa will become the largest agency in Hollywood and even the world." General Manager Michael Ovez said enthusiastically and generously after seeing the disappointment on Ye Jin's face.

"Have ambition!" Ye Jin nodded.

In his previous life, Caa Company did develop very heavily. Otherwise, Feng Xiaogang, as a top mainland director, would have to sign a contract with it?

You know, Feng Xiaogang joined Caa in 16 years. At that time, the mainland film industry flourished and became the second largest film market in the world.

As a top mainland director, Feng Xiaogang won the box office of RMB 710 million, ranking fourth in the annual box office rankings.

So the agency he signed with would definitely not be a small company, and would definitely be one of the best in Hollywood. You know, he is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.

"Ideals are very good, but what do you want to do?" Ye Jin asked curiously.

Everyone can say ideals, but there are very few that can be achieved. Although caa has advanced business philosophy such as [packaging service], they are now poor and it is very difficult to grow and grow.

"We are going to start with writers, help them change the novel into a script, and then use the script to seduce actors and directors, and finally package them into shape and sell them to the producers," Michael Oves explained.

"Hollywood agency companies mostly serve artists and rarely pay attention to those writers. But studios rely on celebrities, stars rely on works, and works rely on writers. As long as we grasp the source of writers, we can influence downstream studios." Long Mayer further explained.

After hearing this, Ye Jin nodded, thinking that this idea was very good, and it had a bit of the meaning of [surrounding the city in the countryside].

"Ye, I know you are a very good screenwriter. If you have a good script, why not give it to us as an agent." Roland Berkins smiled.

He has read the script of "Dragon Hard Boy" and thought it was written very well. Moreover, he has also investigated Ye Jin's background and learned that he has written many good scripts in Xiangjiang.

Like "Snake-shaped Hand", "Drunk Fist", "Divine Fighting", "Smile Fist", "Half-Half-Eight Tackle", etc., all achieved very good box office results.

Ye Jin was stunned, then smiled, "To be honest, I am very confident in my scripts. I think every movie can make money. Therefore, I want to keep my own investment and I am not ready to sell it out."

None of the scripts he wrote was not a classic film history, a box office star, and a powerful tool to make money. If it is handed over to another company to produce, he will only earn a little screenwriter fee. It is only a few tens of thousands of dollars in film pay, plus a little dividend. But if it is produced by him, it is very likely that he can earn huge profits of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ye Jin doesn’t do the stupid thing about throwing watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

"Okay. You hand over the script to us and we will help you contact the actors and directors. At that time, you can invest directly, which will save you a lot of trouble?" Michael Ovez said immediately when he heard this.

Ye Jin heard this, thought for a while, and nodded.

If he prepares the crew by himself, it will take time and energy and is very unprofitable. It is just right to leave it to Caa. After the crew is finished, he will invest money to start filming, saving time and effort.

"Okay." Ye Jin smiled, "Then try it first."

...

After a while, Ye Jin handed over a script he wrote to Roland Berkins.

Roland took it and saw that the script had five letters "The Story of Ghosts" written on it (a     nightmare   on      elm        street    ).

"Ghost Street" is one of the most classic horror films in Hollywood. It was widely spread in the mainland in the form of a DVD pirated disc, scaring Ye Jin, who was still a child back then, to death.

In the 1970s, horror films were quite popular. In 1973, the annual box office champion of America was won by the horror film "The Exorcist"; in 1974, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" also achieved a local box office of 30 million US dollars... Therefore, horror films are now very popular.

Ye Jin invested in horror movies for his first movie, and that is, horror movies are very cost-effective. For example, "The Exorcist" costs less than $3 million, but it won a box office of $230 million; the investment in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is only $85,000...

It can be said that if the horror movie is operated well, it will be a good business with a huge profit, with the returns being dozens or hundreds of times.

Ye Jin is now limited in funds, and he can't play movies with high cost, and he doesn't even have the funds to start. Therefore, investing in horror movies and making his first pot of gold is the safest for him.

Roland Perkins then opened the script and started to read it carefully.

After reading it, he looked at Ye Jin with a look of surprise and said in surprise, "Ye, this script is really great and creative."

Because of the small investment and rough production of horror movies, most of them are unknown newcomers, so if you want to get a high box office, you have to take the school creativity even more.

Like "Moonlight Panic", it creates a killer Michael Myers who doesn't say a word and only knows how to kill people. Such a killer image was unique at that time; "Saw" created a killer jigsaw with super high IQ, completely playing with the victims. This type of killer is also very rare; "Reaper is Coming" kills people with various seemingly impossible coincidences, and everyone cannot escape the devil's claws...

Ye Jin's "Ghost Street" is very creative. The protagonist Freddy actually killed someone in a dream, which is really chilling.

"I know." Ye Jin said without any modesty.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Hollywood had three most popular horror series, namely "Moonlight and Panic", "Friday of the Thirteenth" and "Ghost Street".

Moonlight and Panic" is the first filmed in 1978, "Friday of the 13th" is the first filmed in 1980s, and "Ghost Street" is the first filmed in 1984.

At that time, the third film of "Moonlight and Panic" had been filmed, and the fourth film of "Friday the Thirteenth" had been filmed. The two films were already well-known and famous old predecessors.

However, a junior in "The Ghost Street" can be alongside two seniors, so of course he has two tricks.

"How much do you plan to invest in this movie?" Roland Perkins asked then.

"I invest at most 1.2 million US dollars." Ye Jin thought for a moment.

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was released last year and only cost 86,000 US dollars; "The Chainsaw" was filmed in 2004, only cost 1.2 million US dollars.

It is now 75 years, and the prices are much lower than in 30 years, so one and two million US dollars are definitely enough.
