In Hollywood, success is not just about experience, but also a continuous operation mode.

The success of "Human Purge Plan" has also continued many preliminary preparations in "The God of Death".

For example, the crew still chose Warner Studio as its residence.

However, the scale of the two films is very different. Based on the previous small studio, the crew of "The God of Death is Coming" rented another large studio.

In addition, the crew also rented a small half of the floor as an office location on the office building in the studio.

The disclosure of $15 million in budget and the actual $20 million in budget also made Ronan no longer as stretched as when producing the "Human Purge Plan".

"Glenn and I did almost the same thing in the early writing work."

In the office, James Huang glanced at his good friend and said to Ronan: "Most of the people in the shooting team also had experience in the last cooperation, and the running-in process would not be as difficult as the previous one. If there is no big problem, I plan to enter the shooting stage in April."

Ronan nodded gently: "I am asking someone to make a distribution plan based on your shooting plan."

The information about this project has been transferred to the Embassy Film Industry, and Garcia is leading people to formulate a detailed publicity and distribution plan.

James Huang said again: "If you have sufficient funds, I will be able to complete the shooting at the latest no later than July." He asked again: "Have the release schedule been confirmed?"

"The publisher provides two schedules to choose from." Ronan said simply: "One is Halloween, a little nervous. The other is December, "Scream" once had a huge success in December."

He said directly: "I tend to be in December, where the post-production of this film is more complicated and there are still many special effects to complete."

"I also think December is better," said James Huang.

Ronan reminded: "James, if you can solve it through shooting, don't delay it to post-production."

James Huang said, "I understand." He thought about it and said, "The special effects team, I recommend the digital field, they charge low fees, and I have worked with them in "X Archives".

Ronan did not agree or reject: "I will talk to the digital field."

In this era, Hollywood has so many special effects companies. Many medium and large studios have independent special effects companies or special effects departments. Even Pixar Studios is engaged in live-action movie special effects business.

There are many special effects companies to choose from.

Ronan turned around and asked, "Glenn, there will be no major changes in the script, right?"

"No." Glenn Morgan belongs to the kind of introverted silent person.

Ronan emphasized: "James, you have proved to be an excellent horror film director. I will not interfere with the normal shooting of the crew, but there is one thing I have to explain in advance. While this film is exciting, it must make the story simple and clear!"

To be honest, he was worried that after James Huang had the success of "Human Purge Plan", he would be overly inflated in the filming of the following films, adding too many mysterious things like many directors.

Such directors are very common in Hollywood and have messed up too many film projects, and some even caused production companies to go bankrupt.

James Huang smiled: "Don't worry, this must be a simple story." He thought for a moment and said: "Even those skillful plots of death hunting will be common ways to see in daily life, such as water, electricity, driving, crossing the road, boiling water, pouring wine, and even placing rags, etc."

The silent Glenn Morgan added: "Our philosophy is that any omission in the details of life can make people die."

Ronan agrees with this concept: "The scary effect of putting the horror of death in the daily life of the general public is definitely very good, and it makes people creepy in daily life."

In this film, the pursuit of death used by James Huang and Glenn Morgan is a concept, but the specific implementation method is very down-to-earth.

James Huang also said: "We often see people experiencing tornadoes, floods, and collapsed buildings that survived or were even unharmed; but some people would also mysteriously drowned beside shallow ditches that were less than the knee. The contrast between the tenacity and fragility of life is the inspiration for "The God of Death is Coming."

Ronan smiled and said, "James, I really agree with what you said. The biggest horror comes from the unknown." He changed his voice: "But when we shoot and produce horror films, we must also consider the actual situation of the market and audience. "The God of Death is Coming" must be an R-level film, and the death scenes show the scale of the R-level film as much as possible."

"I understand." James Huang said without hesitation.

The success of the Human Purge Plan has made him more clearly realize the importance of meeting market demand.

Just such an unreliable creativity, coupled with a script written by a novice like Ronan Anderson, and the supporting roles produced by the post-edition editing, it is a standard miserable work in his eyes. Who knew that it was not only successful, but also a great success...

Although James Huang moved to the United States when he was a teenager, he was still as modest as an Oriental. The success of the "Human Purge Plan" made him deeply understand one thing. He was much worse than Ronan Anderson in grasping the market.

If he can surpass Ronan Anderson in directing and filming, then Ronan Anderson can also surpass him twenty streets in grasping the market.

In the office, Ronan and James Huang were basically discussing, while Glenn Morgan rarely spoke.

The two of them talked about the specific preparation work. When talking about the actors, Ronan asked: "What do you think of the actors?"

James Huang didn't have much say in the choice of actors in the main role, but just made suggestions as a director: "The main actors are all high school students, and their appearance is as outstanding as possible on the basis of ensuring basic acting skills."

He suddenly thought of a key question: "The main actors will not look for Arabs again, are they?"

After all, the filming funds are all from Arabs.

"No." Ronan shook his head directly: "There will be no ethnic restrictions this time."

But he thought about it and said: "I will use minority actors appropriately among the main actors other than the leading actors."

There has been a survey before that the proportion of African and Latino audiences in theaters has been steadily increasing.

Especially the noble Black Lives Matter, these three words may be worth tens of millions of dollars in the future.

Movies are ultimately affected by changes in social situations.

As Ronan truly intervened in the crew, the preparations for "The God of Death" suddenly accelerated, and in just a few days, he was able to recruit many important positions.

The actual investment in this project is several times that of the Human Purge Plan, and the crew is much larger than that.

In addition to the producer, Ronan once again served as the production manager. Because of the financial issues involving the fund conversion of the two projects, Mary is still responsible for the production team members. For example, the other deputy producers, assistant producers, location managers, location searchers, production coordinators and technical consultants, all of them were solved through external recruitment.

Hollywood is the most mature film factory in the world. As long as the funds are in place, talents from all aspects are not a problem.

This is a place where film talents have never been lacking.

In terms of Shahai Entertainment's early business policy, Ronan is no different from mainstream Hollywood film companies, and it is basically an external recruitment system.

In the future, when the company's projects increase, external producers will even be hired to be fully responsible for the work of a crew.

While completing the recruitment of these positions, Ronan also worked on the special effects stunt team. After three days of negotiations with the digital field, he outsourced the shooting stunts and post-production special effects to the movie special effects studio founded by James Cameron for $1.5 million.

Although the digital field participated in the special effects production of "Titanic", the situation was not very good. James Cameron himself was not a high-yield director. The digital field could not rely on the king of the world. The competition for ordinary businesses was fierce. Even the industry leader Industrial Light and Magic Computing, the average profit margin of the film special effects industry could not even reach 5%.

In addition to a large-scale special effects team with the same level as in the industry, there are also seven or eight small teams under the digital field, and the fees for these small teams are only the average level in the industry.

Starting from the preliminary preparation stage, the special effects team must fully enter the crew and not withdraw until the post-production is over.

In terms of post-production, Ronan is also promoting it simultaneously, and with a quotation of $180,000, he settled the soundtrack team of Shirley Walker. This team includes composition, arrangement, arrangement, recording, equipment, equipment, copyright and editing, etc., with a total of up to 12 people.

This is also a low-cost soundtrack team in the industry.
