Movie Tycoon 1.0

Goliath764 · August 12, 2013

The Movie Game is back under a new name! Movie Tycoon 1.0 is a forum game where you create your own movie studio, make movies, hire actors, director, and advertise your upcoming hit. Can your secure a foothold in the everchanging movie industry of Hollywood? Perhaps you can bring a C-list star into the A-list, perhaps you can develop your own signature style of movies, perhaps...you should start playing!

Basic Rules:

Every new studio starts with $3,000,000(or $5,000,000 if you choose investor). The player cannot go overbudget!

Each day players can make movies with cast of their choice, however, if a cast member has already been used in any role other than a cameo then they cannot be used again until the following day. To be precise, "the following day" starts at 00:00 GMT.

There is a limit of 1 movie per studio per day. Again, the new day starts at 00:00 GMT. You can directly go into pre-production of your next movie after you release a movie(post-production), this is to ensure faster gameplay since talent negotiation can take time.

Keep an eye on the current trends; they have a fair impact in determining the success of your movie. Still, if you write a godly movie, you are guaranteed earn a ton without the help of trend. The trend is there to help, but not necessary.

To enter yourself into the movie industry, please create your studio:

Studio Name:

Founder Name(i.e. your IGN):

Studio Bonus: Investor, marketing genius, negotiator, adaptor, VFX expert, in-house stunt team

Investor - Extra startup money, bonus money per 5 films

Marketing genius - Better marketing power, your studio's marketing team can sell your movie like a boss.

Negotiator - Benefit on any sort of negotiation aside from player-to-player, this include talent negotiation, adaptation license acquirement and so on

Adaptor - Bonus on adaptation as your studio has some of the best adaptation writer that can really turn something from media X to movie(Easier and better negotiation process for source material + slightly higher profit from adaptation)

VFX expert - You want to amazed people with your graphic? Take this bonus to get yourself a top VFX team in the business to join your studio

In-house stunt team - You love blow-by-blow realistic action rather than a graphic spam? Get yourself a superb stunt team for that!

Then, you can start to make a movie:

(You can do this in the same post as your studio application)

Step One - Pre-Production

Title:

Rating (i.e. G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17):

Genre: (Drama, Thriller, Comedy, Action, Sci-Fi, Arthouse, War, Western, etc)

Brief summary of the movie:

Amount you plan to spend on production:

Amount you plan to spend on marketing:

You then must list the actors/actresses/directors you want to contact for this film. You should include things like:

What will their role be? (Director, main lead, second lead, supporting, cameo)

Role detail: (Optional but highly recommended, but you can go ahead and describe the role. Short and long are both fine.)

Will they be expected to show any nudity?

What other perks are you offering? (This can range from a leading role in your next film to a larger sized trailer during shooting)

You then must wait for a response from the actor/actress/director before you can begin shooting your film.

Note: Each talent can only be used on one movie per day but you can always negotiate for him/her for the upcoming day.

Step Two - Post-Production

Title-

Lead Actor- (Secondary leads are also lead. There can be more than 1 main and secondary lead.)

Lead Actress- (See above.)

Supporting Actor- (OPTIONAL, but gives better quality value.)

Supporting Actress- (See above.)

Director - (This could have a huge impact on the direction and overall success of your movie.)

Genre- (Drama, Thriller, Comedy, Action, Sci-Fi, Arthouse, War, Western, etc)

Rating- (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17)

Plot- (Give an explanation that is decent enough. The better the explanation of the plot, including referring to which actor is which character, and what the gist of the story is, the more likely your movie will succeed. Feel free to write how short or how long as you like, I am sure to read them all and break them down in my review. Try to give me at least the main plot points though so I can judge it fairly and easily)

Location- (Location filmed in, whether it be UK, US, etc. You can go more detailed, stating states, city or specific venues.)

Budget: (Total of talent + production + marketing)

Talent fee- (Actors and director's fee)

Production- (A single number will do but one can go more indepth(like groundbreaking 3D effect) if they want to, no big advantage of going indepth)

Marketing- (A single number will do but one can go more indepth just for fun)

Duration - (Length of the movie... Too short and people won't bother wasting their money, too long and they will grow bored of even a great flick. Genre has some impact on this, it's much harder for someone to accept a 150 minute comedy than a 150 minute war movie.)

Movies sizes when paying for production: > 5,000,000 = Small/Independent, > 25,000,000 Average Production Costs, 100,000,000 or more is considered a Blockbuster with Mega advertising.

(You are not limited to use talents in the spreadsheet, we can always add more people to the spreadsheet)

Adaptation

If you want to use a book or a comic or something else that is considered copyrighted you can make a request and I will reply to your request with the copyright owner’s demands. You can attempt to haggle, however there is no guarantee the company will bend to your will.

If somebody has contacted a company about the same copyrighted material you would like, you can enter a bidding war. In doing so the price of the movie will be driven up, but the movie will gain publicity and hype through it.

Note: To ensure that fun is the main priority, even the biggest franchises(like Avatar, Star Wars) are negotiable from the beginning and there will be reasonable and profitable deal. I will make the deal harsher to employ a bit of realism. For example: George Lucas will only give you 20% profit from the Star Wars film but if it is very good, I will make the film earn maybe 50M in net profit and you still get a solid 10M out of it. A solid original too, has the potential to earn 10M. It's all fair to both original and adaptation.

I do this "profit adjustment" because it's hard for me to imagine that a Star Wars movie can only earn 5M total profit so I need some extra immersion to convince myself. If this seems too complicated then I can make it simpler, just let me know.

(Just some extra information, you don't need to read them to play the game as this is mostly on things I handle for the players or more thorough explanation on rules)

Previous threads for inspiration

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Talent

I am starting a new talent database for this one instead of using the spreadsheet of the previous games. I will be using StarPoint(SP) as a star power measurement for talent. Every star starts between 0.1 SP to 5.0 SP. There will be tons of stars getting 0.1 to 1.0 SP but only a few true superstars have a 5.0 SP to begin the game.

SP is a popularity gauge and not raw talent. It's pretty much like pop in TEW or WMMA. Talent is subjective so it's not my place to judge that. Also, I really don't think every A-list out there are A-list because of their raw talent, they are just popular enough to be on the A-list due to combined result of various factors. You can make anyone a big star if you put them into good films. I am trying to make sure everything is possible and fun in this game and even if you want to push someone like Rihanna to the hollywood A-list, you can try and you do have chance to succeed in that.

Foreign talents are welcomed but expect them to get low SP in most case because they are not well-known yet in Hollywood. Still, you can have fun trying to make them into big star and one thing about low SP is that they are cheap enough for you to use them a lot if you really like them.

As they take part in movies, their SP will change(or not change in some case), depending on the review of said movie.

A base pay rate for the talent is 1M * SP(E.g. a 1.0 SP would want 1M to take part in a movie), then it is modified by the roles and other factors. On normal occasion:

Director: 90%-125% *base pay + bonuses

Lead: 80%-120% * base pay

Secondary lead: 60%-90% * base pay

Support: 30%-65% * base pay

The "negotiator" studio bonus can decrease the rate.

If you want to cast an all-star cast in your first movie, you can. I will try to accommodate you by making the talents ask for a lot of other incentives from you like maybe using him again in future movies and this time you have to pay him full price, he wants to direct your next movie and so on, or maybe he is Ben Affleck and he wants to star together with Casey Affleck in your next flick. Those incentives will lower the money output to a reasonable level for you. However, those incentives might hinder you in near future. It's some sort of gamble if you want to use many big stars in your first movie. If you succeed, you might earn good profit and have a good start but you still have to help them back later on; if the movie sucked, then you are really screwed from the beginning. If the movie is mediocre, then you are throwing a lot of money on nothing(because you can use smaller stars on a mediocre movie anyway) but promises that you have to fulfill in future.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What the frak is that "profit adjustment" about?

Profit adjustment is to stimulate the drawing power of franchise(usually the big ones) and give said movies higher box office number but keep the game balanced in terms of "original vs adaptation". Example:

Star Wars 7(80% profit to George Lucas)

Revenue: 65,000,000

80% Franchise: 52,000,000

-----------------------------

Revenue: 13,000,000

Budget: 3,000,000

-----------------------------

Gross Profit: 10,000,000

-----------------------------

Net Profit: 10,000,000

Original Sci-Fi

Revenue: 13,000,000

Budget: 3,000,000

-----------------------------

Gross Profit: 10,000,000

-----------------------------

Net Profit: 10,000,000

Assuming the writing quality is largely similar in both case, they still earn the same amount of profit, yet it is more believing to see that a Star Wars movie has 53,000,000 of total revenue because every fan boy would want to watch the new Star Wars movie anyway, so the revenue has to make sense yet the player shouldn't get that amount of huge income at the earlier part of their career.

Do note that if you are good with negotiation, you might earn well from a franchise deal, using the above example, let's say you negotiate Lucas down to a 75%:

Star Wars 7(75% profit to George Lucas)

Revenue: 65,000,000

75% Franchise: 48,750,000

-----------------------------

Revenue: 16,250,000

Budget: 3,000,000

-----------------------------

Gross Profit: 13,250,000

-----------------------------

Net Profit: 13,250,000

Another way is to stop players from getting huge franchises from the beginning. I did this in the last game(v3.0) and I realized it to be anti-fun.

<div style="text-align:center;">Due to the influx of R-rated films and the lack of children-friendly film, multiple organisations around America, lead by Voices for America's Children, are protesting that there should be more movie for the younger generation.

With that said, the government decided to put out some funding for studios willing to do family-friendly films. The film must be G or PG. It's first come, first serve, the next 3 G or PG film will be given an extra 2,500,000 of working fund.

UPDATE: Due to the good result from this funding campaign, the government has decided to increase the output to 4 films. There are still two more films eligible after Checkmate.

Goliath764 · August 12, 2013

I am starting from scratch so no list just yet. Just list who you want and do the pre-production stuff and I will assign SP to those talents(Kind of like the very beginning of Mad's 1.0). If you have like multiple potential talents for a role, I can gauge all of them for you.

I will turn them into a spreadsheet when I have given a good amount of talents their SP points.

Goliath764 · August 13, 2013

Tribal Survival

I assume John Travolta is main lead and others are all support?

John Travolta(4.00 SP)

- He likes the idea of being the leading role in two movies in a row.

- With that said, he wants full creative control on the next film, as in he will filter out the cast he don't like from it. He will also give some feedbacks on scene and expect the crew to cooperate with him. (Don't worry too much, I won't be a pure di** and filter everyone or screw with you, but some adjustment can happen)

- He wants 500,000 now + 1,250,000 post-release + 10% of the film's profit.

Ashley Tisdale(1.00 SP)

- She would like 400,000.

Gail Kim(0.30 SP)

- She is just happy to get a movie role, she would like 105,000.

Justin Timberlake(1.45 SP)

- He would like 540,000.

- As you said so, he would be glad to be second lead in your future movies. To fulfill this promise, you have to give him (at least) a second lead role in any of your 5 upcoming movies.

- If you give him to sing the main theme song, he will do the film in half price(270,000).

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson(3.50 SP)

- Leading role in a sequel? Awesome!

- With that said, he wants only 500,000 for this film only because he expects a higher payday as the lead.

Tito Ortiz(0.40 SP)

- He isn't sure about his role as the failed movie director. Can the movie director fight? He wants to kick ass in an action movie.

- Assuming he is allowed to kick ass, he will do it for 140,000. Otherwise, he would want 280,000.

Quinton Jackson(0.80 SP)

- Quinton Jackson wants a fighting scene with The Rock, as he believe that squaring down with The Rock will help his movie career. He also request that they both have to be equal in said fighting scene and it would last a reasonable amount of time. He doesn't want to lose too easily to The Rock.

- If you agree with the scene, he will do it for 200,000. Otherwise, he would want 560,000.

- Quinton Jackson also goes his way to tell you that if you could give him time in anyone of your 5 upcoming movies, he will do this one for half price but he would expect a bit higher on the next one.

- Taking every thing he said, you can get Quinton Jackson down to 100,000 or 280,000.

Oliver Stone(2.50 SP)

- Oliver Stone doesn't think he has directed this sort of straight-action film before, so he decided that he will only take money after the film hit the theater. With that said, he would like 2,000,000 AFTER the film is done.

- He also want your promise that he can direct another film(in your next 4 movies) and that film has to be closer to his style.

If you agree on everything:

To pay before film: 2,015,000

To pay after film: 3,250,000 + 10% of movie's profit.

GM's Note: This movie is very expensive and out of your league IMO but I tried hard to nerf down the initial cost. I won't be as easy on your next film though, you can try to negotiate to cut the cost or try to change some of the cast. Or you can take the current offer and swing away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Good Men

Daniel Day-Lewis(3.25 SP)

- He would like 3,900,000 for the role. He is fine just taking 50% of it(1,950,000) to start the film and then you can pay him the remaining 50% when the film is finished.

- He would like the movie to be shot at Arabia, it would help in his method acting approach. He is serious about this request that he don't think he will take the role if this is not shot in Arabia. (This means you need to put more money to production to cover the flying trip and etc; putting too less to the production cost and the movie will suffer from being low quality)

Michael Mando(0.95 SP)

- He would take 807,500 for the role.

- He would like his character to have the same hairstyle as Vaas Montenegro of Far Cry 3, hoping that more people would recognize that's him. He will do the film 50,000 less if you take this request.

John Hawkes(1.40 SP)

- He is happy to team up with Daniel Day-Lewis again. So he would take the role for 600,000.

Terrence Howard(2.00 SP)

- He would take the role for 900,000.

Ridley Scott(4.20 SP)

- Ridley Scott likes the idea of the film, he is pretty confident in it that he can do a good job. Hence, he decided that he will take 1,680,000 and 30% of the film's profit OR 3,360,000 and 10% of the film's profit.

- If you accept the 1,680,000 and 30% deal, he is willing to wait until the movie is out to take his total cut but he would want instant payment if you take 3,360,000 and 10% of the film's profit.

If you agree on everything(and the 30% deal for Ridley Scott):

To pay before film: 4,257,500

To pay after film: 3,630,000 + 30% of film's profit.

GM's Note: Daniel Day-Lewis is a pretty special individual that is known for being picky with role and only do a movie once in a while, he's more of a "do it for the art" type of actor. To stimulate this, I give him lower SP but he always demand high price for a role to stimulate he's very serious in what he takes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

You can always negotiate with the talents. Feel free to do so, or if you just can't wait anymore, take those deals and start the movie. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

(This means you need to put more money to production to cover the flying trip and etc; putting too less to the production cost and the movie will suffer from being low quality) Michael Mando(0.95 SP) - He would take 807,500 for the role. - He would like his character to have the same hairstyle as Vaas Montenegro of Far Cry 3, hoping that more people would recognize that's him. He will do the film 50,000 less if you take this request. John Hawkes(1.40 SP) - He is happy to team up with Daniel Day-Lewis again. So he would take the role for 600,000. Terrence Howard(2.00 SP) - He would take the role for 900,000. Ridley Scott(4.20 SP) - Ridley Scott likes the idea of the film, he is pretty confident in it that he can do a good job. Hence, he decided that he will take 1,680,000 and 30% of the film's profit OR 3,360,000 and 10% of the film's profit. - If you accept the 1,680,000 and 30% deal, he is willing to wait until the movie is out to take his total cut but he would want instant payment if you take 3,360,000 and 10% of the film's profit. If you agree on everything(and the 30% deal for Ridley Scott): To pay before film: 4,257,500 To pay after film: 3,630,000 + 30% of film's profit. GM's Note: Daniel Day-Lewis is a pretty special individual that is known for being picky with role and only do a movie once in a while, he's more of a "do it for the art" type of actor. To stimulate this, I give him lower SP but he always demand high price for a role to stimulate he's very serious in what he takes.</div></blockquote> Daniel Day-Lewis: We agree to the set the film in Arabia, though we can only give you 3,650,000 split in 50/50 halves before and after the movie. Michael Mando: Agreed. John Fawkes: Agreed. Terrence Howard: Agreed. Ridley Scott: We could give you 1,500,000 and 30%, if you are willing to receive the payment after the movie is finished.

As Ridley is mainly gunning for the 30%, he takes the job. If you take the DD-L counter-offer, you can start the movie.
