If Netflix provides money for a German production: Let's assume the total cost for the entire production is 5 million euro.
How much euro does the producer get?
Anything between 60,000 euro and 100,000 euro. Depending on experience and education. Plus a bonus if the film / series is successful.
And do you think if you have enough money that you can work as a beginner with a screenwriter who has worked on good projects or worked for Netflix?
Rather not, as a beginner you have to prove yourself in other projects before someone considers you. After all, Netflix doesn't want to take any chances with any noobie. Films are an investment and good producers minimize the risk of landing a complete flop.
I don't mean with Netflix, but rather a collaboration with a screenwriter for the screenplay.
Oh, yes, if you get the money from the production company, you can use it as a producer as you want. Similar to a manager in a company. I think a screenwriter doesn't really care who he works with as long as the money is right.
Find 40,000-50,000 euro appropriate for a mini series (4-5 episodes) or find that too little for a screenwriter
That would be okay for low budget. In Hollywood, a writer who is a member of the Writers Guild of America gets an average of $ 110,000 for a film.
