In order to achieve ideal results for such a film, Ronan calculated that the publicity cost of $8 million may be very tight. In addition to the cost of distribution, the total investment in publicity and distribution should be at least more than $15 million.

It's really crazy to buy out the copyright for $80,000 and spend $15 million on promotion and promotion.

Movies are a high-risk investment industry. If the first step is not going well, he is mentally prepared and will stop and stop losses.

But the data fed back from the first step of the plan gave Ronan enough confidence.

Ronan said again: "Robert, the last time the "Human Purge Plan" test was good. Can you still contact me?"

"It should be OK, I'll give it a try." Robert replied.

Ronan continued to say to Robert: "Look for extras, pretending to be relatives and friends of missing college students, record interview videos, put them on the website, and if possible, put them on local TV stations for broadcast."

Garcia added: "Yes, more local TV stations are deployed, and their review of news is relatively loose."

Robert smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me."

"There's another thing." Ronan said to Robert again: "You find manufacturers to print a batch of cultural shirts, hire service companies to volunteer in major cities across the United States, and go to the streets to distribute cultural shirts and missing person information. It is best to set up volunteer organizations to pursue missing persons, the bigger the momentum, the better."

Robert replied: "No problem, as long as you have money, it is easy to find people."

David Villa interrupted at this time: "The next plan is to be developed, and the funding problem must be solved first."

The Embassy Film itself does not have much capital, and even the funds for the first step of operation plan are borrowed from Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan nodded and said, "I will solve the problem of funds. Eight million dollars will be available in one week at the latest."

During his trip to Germany, Ronan never touched the $10 million fund from Koch Pictures and has been using the account of Relativity Entertainment as backup funds in case of emergency needs.

Of course, Ronan’s first choice is not to use this fund. This can be said to be one of the trump cards. If there is a problem with the capital chain, there is room for buffering.

Borrowing chickens and laying eggs is still the best solution.

Several people discussed some offline virus transmission issues, and then the topic turned to distribution, especially the key copy.

"We're going to contact the printing factory now," Garcia suggested, "ready for a copy."

Ronan asked, “How many copies are appropriate to prepare in advance?”

Garcia made a little thought and said, "I have contacted many independent theaters during this period and can ensure that the film has a screen of about 100 yuan. In the commercial theater chain, we have not held a test session yet. Even if the test session results are ideal, they will not invest too much resources in such a film from the beginning. It can be said that it is the most optimistic estimate to be able to get 100 yuan of screens in the first week."

Luo Nan nodded slightly. Just talking about the quality of the film itself... Forget it, I won’t say it anymore. Just talking about the quality of the film is simply not convincing at all.

"If the painting is ideal in the first week, the screenings will be expanded in the second week, such as to more than 2,000 theaters." Ronan asked carefully: "How long does it take to prepare a copy."

Garcia smiled: "Printing and copying is not a very troublesome job, and there are many printing factories. We can choose several large-scale companies to prepare in advance. If the goddess of luck really favors us, about five days is enough."

He added: "We can use FedEx channels to deliver copies, with speed and security guaranteed."

Robert interjected: "Print 300 copies first, which can also reduce risks and financial pressure."

Ronan agreed: "Okay, I'll print 300 copies first."

Even 300 copies require nearly $500,000 in investment.

If 2,500 cinemas are screened, at least 3,000 copies must be prepared. If there is a problem with the box office in the week, the copy alone may lose about $5 million in funds.

Since copy printing and delivery are not a problem, you can wait for the first week... No, wait until the box office on the first day is released before preparing.

This minimizes the risk.

Risk is always a factor that cannot be ignored in business operations.

At the end of the meeting, everyone immediately devoted themselves to their respective work. Garcia was very fast. Thanks to the programs of the Exploration Discovery Channel and the sources of viruses created by the missing person notices on the Internet, he quickly contacted several local TV stations and copied and mailed the video files.

Ronan left Embassy Film, first called Judith of the bank, and then went straight to her office to find a bank loan.

"Please sit down, Mr. Anderson." Judith went to the coffee machine to pick up Ronan's coffee and said, "I heard you are preparing two big movie projects?"

Sitting opposite Ronan, Judith's careful thoughts never stopped for a moment. This was the best customer resource in her hand. Although the other party had not come to the bank for a while, she never looked at her attention.

The young Hollywood producer, after the success of "Human Purge", did not stop at all. He immediately prepared two large projects with a total investment of $40 million, and without any bank loans, he raised funds.

Also, I heard that he spent more than $20 million to acquire a company.

As your career grows bigger and bigger, your wealth is getting richer, such customers are the favorites of banks.

Judith sighed in her heart. She had no eyes at the beginning and had completely misread this young man.

The downs and downs at that time were just a small stumbling block on the road to success of this young man.

Judith did Ronan's assessment with the bank some time ago, especially his new project, and believed that "The God of Death is Coming", which continues the successful type of "Human Purge Plan", is very likely to continue to succeed.

"Hello, Judith." Ronan said with a polite smile: "I came this time to apply for a loan from your bank."

Judith smiled: "We have been working together, and the bank is willing to help the career of successful people like you."

Ronan also smiled and said, "Thank you."

Although there is still a loan of $3 million that has not been returned, it is still early to repay the loan. Moreover, banks have always liked to chase after successful people to increase loans.

The more money the losers need to turn the situation around, the more difficult it is for them to get loans from banks.

Judith asked tentatively: "I don't know how much money Mr. Anderson needs? If it's less than $3 million, I can help you with it now."

Ronan had already calculated and said, "I need a $10 million loan."

"What? $10 million?" Judith was quite surprised. "So much?"

"Are there any difficulties?" Ronan asked directly.

Judith admitted: "10 million US dollars is too much, I..." She thought of Ronan's booming career and said: "If it is less than 3 million US dollars, we only need to go through the procedures and don't need to mortgage it. But 10 million US dollars is too much, and we need to mortgage it accordingly."

Banks also have bank regulations.

Ronan knew that it was impossible to borrow tens of millions of dollars from the bank just by opening his mouth, and said directly: "There is no problem with mortgage. I have a movie project in my hand, which is under preparation and will be transferred to the shooting stage next month. It is expected to be released next spring. I will use the future income of this film as collateral."

Judith laughed and asked, “Is it that horror movie "The God of Death Comes"?”

"No, the income from horror movies is limited." Ronan is also tempting: "Action movies are the mainstream now, and I use the future income of the action movie "Ace Agent" as collateral."

Judith had learned about these two projects before and immediately said: "Mr. Anderson, I suggest using the future income of "The God of Death" as collateral."

Ronan was just a test and didn't expect to deceive the smart bank with "Ace Agent". He thought about the possible operating space for using "The God of Death" as collateral, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
