"No! This time I want to share!" Vicki shook her head decisively.
She has already suffered a loss with picture books, and she definitely can't let the movie show her again this time.
"I want to remind you that we don't have any screening venues at the moment, and the people in Nolan Continent have no idea about the Phantom Movie. Whether it is to build a Magic Cinema or popularize the concept of Phantom Movie, it will probably take a long time. For a period of time, the probability of "Miss Black Cat" recovering the cost is extremely small, are you sure you want to share it?" Mag said with a smile.
Vicki was stunned when she heard this, with a tangled look on her face.
She knew that Mag's words were true. Even in a world where movies like Dungeon had been popular for thousands of years, there were still many directors who failed to make a successful film.
It was unimaginable to be the first person to make a movie on the continent of Nolan, and at a time when there were no movie theaters. It was unimaginable, and only Mag could do such a thing.
"I would also like to remind you that after the industry develops, I plan to serve as a cinema to provide a playing venue for Demon Movies. Therefore, the role of my early film sources is more to open up the market and there is no guarantee. Any box office." Mag said again.
Vicky knew that Mag was telling the truth, and that she was very pertinent and honest.
"The opera troupe is no longer short of money, so I can also add some money to my dream. I don't want a buyout, but only 30% of the future box office." Vicki looked at Mag and said with a smile.
"Deal." Mag nodded without counter-offering.
This share ratio is somewhat similar to the share between film studios and theaters in previous lives, but as an investor, distributor, and promoter, this share ratio is a bit unreliable.
But Mag is also not short of money. This kind of small money is nothing compared to getting an all-around screenwriter.
"By the way, can I make a small request?" Mag asked.
"What?"
"I would like to add a small role and an actor in 'Miss Black Cat'," McGonagall said.
Vicki frowned. He had just said that he would not interfere in the film, but he still asked: "What role? Who will be added?"
"Add a chef, that's me." Mag patted his chest and said.
"You want to participate in the show?" Vicki was a little surprised, but soon showed a tangled look on her face, "It's hard to change this story to one where Miss Black Cat and the chef elope together..."
Mag: "???"
"I don't want to be the leading actor, I just want a small role." Mag shook his head, "I don't want many roles. You only need to give me time to cook a dish. I want to teach everyone how to cook a dish."
"That's it..." Vicki blushed and realized that she seemed to be thinking wrongly. She thought seriously for a while and nodded: "I can think about it, but if I can add it, I have to see your camera performance. Use your strength to make a decision.”
This is a really strict director who can't even bring money to join the team. Mag smiled and nodded, "Okay, no problem."
who is he? Meg, Alex and Hades, the three actors who can switch identities at will, don’t need to worry about camera performance or anything like that, okay?
"How much money do you plan to invest in this movie...Magic Shadow?" Vicki asked again.
"This Phantom doesn't need any big scenes or special effects, and the investment shouldn't be too high. I plan to invest 10 million copper coins," Mag said.
Vicky thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That's enough."
She knew very well that if Mag wanted to establish a cinema system on the Nolan continent, this would be where the bulk of the money would be spent.
"Besides that, I actually have a script that I would like to invite you to write for me." Mag took out a stack of paper and pushed it in front of Vicki.
"Phantom Chef?" Vicki looked at the tacky name on the cover and raised her eyebrows slightly. It looked like a best-selling movie on the street stall.
She picked up the book and started to read it. Her expression, which had no expectations at all, became more and more serious, and her eyes lit up. She read it as if she had found a treasure.
About twenty minutes later, Vicki put down the booklet in her hand, stared at Mag and asked, "Who wrote this story?"
"No, it's me." Mag smiled slightly.
Vicki looked at Mag with even more intense eyes, and exclaimed with admiration: "Although the writing is extremely poor, the narrative is very confusing, and the emotional changes are stiff, this is really a good story!"
The muscles on Mag's face trembled, and he didn't know whether he should feel happy about this compliment.
The writing style is his, the narrative is his, the emotion is his, but the story is his.
This girl is pretty good at judging people.
Vicki also felt that what she said didn't sound very good, and explained: "I mean... the story is very good, and the flaws are not hidden. Even if it is changed into an opera, it should be very popular."
"I would like to ask you to help me change it into the Phantom script. Of course, as a reward, I can give you the opera copyright of this story for free," Mag said.
"Seriously?!" Vicki's eyes lit up.
"All the cooperation we discussed today will require signing of contracts later." Mag nodded.
"Deal!" Vicky nodded decisively.
Recently, she was thinking about a new opera, and Mag's story made her eyes light up.
The love-hate relationship between a human chef and a succubus is interspersed with elements such as dryads and old rulers. It follows the trend and is very dramatic at the same time.
Vicki feels that this story is not inferior to "Miss Black Cat", and may even be more entertaining than "Black Cat".
What's even more amazing is that this story is naturally suitable for playing on the big screen.
Whether it is a tree demon or an old ruler, it can be created through magical special effects, which can bring a strong visual impact to the audience.
"You're not going to play this chef yourself, are you?" Vicky looked at Mag and asked.
"Yes." Mag nodded honestly. This was a movie tailor-made for him.
"Then this heroine..." Vicky bit her lower lip lightly and said as if she had made a very strong determination: "I'm just reluctant..."
"The heroine has already been selected." Mag took over with a smile and glanced at the airport that Vicki owned at a young age. "You are still young and not suitable for this kind of role."
Vicki: “???”
She was indeed still young, but she felt that the pinky finger that Mag was talking about was another one.
It's extremely hurtful and insulting!
She was so angry that she wanted to tear up the outline in her hand, but she was reluctant to part with this good story. She twisted her expression for a while, gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll take it!"
"I plan to film this story first, and I'll leave the script to you. I hope I can come back to the theater in seven days and see the first draft of the script." Mag said with a smile.
"Seven days?" Vicki almost jumped up.
Does this guy think everyone is a tentacle monster? When she gets entangled, she may not be able to write a word for a day, okay!
