Chapter 14: Teletubbies and Spongebob
Victor Jones is indeed a talent who has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years. Within three days, he prepared a filming team.
"Everyone, you are all veterans who have worked in Hollywood for at least three years. Then I don't talk nonsense. My requirement is very simple. You must complete the preparatory work for the film within three weeks."
At Zhuke's Los Angeles home, Zhuke directly ordered the crew of the filming team.
"Lola Run" is just a small-cost movie, the scene is not complicated, mainly watch shops and convenience stores, as well as street scenes. These sets are really not difficult for everyone on the shooting team, or they are very simple.
"I have no problem here." The set designer spoke first.
"I'm fine," the prop master said.
Next, the rest of the people also said: within three weeks, the preparatory work must be completed.
"Very good, I don't have much requirements for the scenery and props, just save money and be beautiful."
For today's exchange, Zhu Ke has worked hard.
spent several nights.
is just a concept map of the characters in the script, and it drew more than 20 pages; as for the film sub-scenario script, it has prepared hundreds of pages of explanation.
After all, who made Zhu Ke less than 20 years old?
Being young means vitality and future potential, but it also means being easily despised by others!
Zuke is the boss of Wald Pictures, that's right, and it's also the money owner who paid them, and that's right. However, what they know about Zhu Ke is just a high school graduation without any relevant experience in film and television production. He started as a director and shot a movie that is shown in theaters. No matter how low the cost is, it is not enough to be believed.
Therefore, no matter how much Zhuke prepares, he will not be too much.
What's more, Zhu Ke herself is also the first time the big girl has been on the sedan chair.
"When I am a director myself, I actually don't want to make money. It's just an obsession from my last life."
"Although I graduated from the Directing Department in my previous life, his grades were still above average, and there was no filming in film and television dramas at all."
Zuke has zero practical experience, but he still has some confidence.
Because the movie "Lola Run" has few scenes and is easy to shoot.
The most important thing is that when Zhu Ke was in college in his last life, the school teachers used to spend eight hours of time to analyze the movie in extreme detail in terms of scenes, story background, character personality, lighting, lines, etc.
A lot of homework was also arranged afterwards.
Well, a lot of homework.
"Well, just because I failed my homework several times, I was repeatedly trained five times, and only copied fifty times. Isn't the impression now deep?" Zhu Ke couldn't help but curl his lips, cursing inwardly.
This is why Zhu Ke has zero shooting experience, but he still dared to try.
In the following time, Zhu Ke started a seven-hour communication with the main person in charge of the shooting team.
Evening.
After everyone on the shooting team left, Zhu Ke was still struggling.
In just seven hours of communication today, the rich experience of this group of people has indeed benefited Zhu Ke a lot. He also learned a lot about some things he didn't understand before.
"I haven't made a movie and I have made a movie. The difference is not so big!"
""Lola Run" is the first film of Wald Pictures. It does not ask for big sales, but it must be successful."
"It seems I still need to keep working hard!"
Zhuke thought repeatedly. But at this moment, the doorbell rang.
got up and opened the door.
The people who came were a little surprised to Zhu Ke, but they were reasonable.
Charlize Theron!
"Boss, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"Huh? How did you come? And brought gifts." Zhu Ke staggered and let the Emperor Sai in.
Charlize Theron is wearing a white dress today, low-cut, and without underwear. The whole person looks **** and beautiful, and Zhuke can't help swallowing his saliva.
Fuck!
What are you doing?
Sister, I’m only 19 years old!
I'm still a kid!
"Charlize, don't you have to go to work today? I remember it's only 9 o'clock in the evening, and it's not time to get off work." Zhu Keqiang resisted the temptation.
"Boss, I am on vacation today!"
The emperor Sai looked at Zhu Ke charmingly, and said, "I was shopping late today, and I just passed by here, so I thought about coming over to see you. After all, you usually take care of me. By the way, I brought you pizza, which you like. It smells like seafood."
just passing by?
Take a look along the way?
Take care of you usually?
"You **** lie to the ghost! Lao Tzu's here is the suburbs, not the city center, let's go down the road! Also, don't you always say behind your back that I am a vampire?"
Of course, Zhu Ke didn't say these words, he just complained dozens of times in his heart.
"I want to see how you perform next?"
Okay, actually Zhuke doesn't need to guess, he knows what she is doing today.
It is nothing more than knowing that Zhuke has acquired a film company and is preparing to start making the first film, so he came to ask for a role.
In the next time.
Charlize Theron kept talking about the hardships of coming from South Africa, the misfortunes of his family, thanking Zhuke for his work, etc., and he mentioned his movie dreams many times, playing the emotional card.
But Zhuke won't take any action at all!
While listening to her, she looked at the material in her hand.
"Damn boss, I know what I said so well, why don't you go on the road and give me a role?" The emperor said inwardly.
However, Zhu Ke’s inner activity is like this: "You can get a character just by saying a few nice words. Is there such a cheap thing? Even if I plan to use it to save money in the first place. You, but now you deliver it to the door yourself, I don’t want a little benefit, won’t I lose it?"
Zuke is the kind of person who is ‘lost if you don’t go out to pick up money’. He is best at climbing along the pole!
The rich taste its saltiness, but the poor look at its beauty!
I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running. Zhu Ke was in the entertainment industry in his last life. He didn't miss those investors, directors, and producers. He used the role to play the unspoken rules. He hasn't tried it yet.
"Boss, it's late, then I will leave first."
In the end, the Servant glanced at Zhu Ke speechlessly, and left in a huff.
When she walked to the door, she gave a blank glance, as if she was saying: "Do you have unspoken rules? If you are, you will be able to understand some of the hints at the time. I can't understand your attitude."
Okay, Zhu Ke is always inexperienced!
How to operate the unspoken rules, Zhu Ke doesn't understand!
Sister, I’m still a kid!
I don’t understand, but you teach me!
...
During the preparation of "Lola Run", Zhu Ke also took the time to go to a law firm and spend money to ask them to design a tax avoidance plan for themselves.
That's right, it's tax avoidance!
It has been almost half a year since Zhuke’s journey. Relying on the information given by the system and his own efforts, he has earned nearly $30 million in assets from the stocks of Netscape and Pixar, and the surrounding projects of "Toy Story". .
can be described as a remarkable success!
However, every year from the end of February to April, it is a headache for the entire American citizenry. Taxes have to be paid!
"If I don't engage in a tax avoidance plan, how much do I have to lose!" Zhu Ke cursed the American tax agency in his heart.
"Mr. Wald, please rest assured that our firm will design an excellent tax avoidance plan for you in a short period of time." The middle-aged elite lawyer said confidently.
Uh, he is still a Chinese, a second-generation immigrant, named Zhang Wei, nicknamed Snake!
"Very good. By the way, I have one more thing for you."
"Please speak."
"It's not a big deal, just the copyright registration of a cartoon and infant education series."
"How specific? The scope of the application? Is it limited to North America, or includes Europe and Asia?"
...
Zhu Ke’s purpose today, in addition to tax avoidance, is to apply for the entrustment of copyright registration.
To apply for the copyright of the cartoon, named: SpongeBob.
The infant education series to be applied for is called Teletubbies.
I have to say, Zhu Ke is enough for chicken thieves.
"SpongeBob SquarePants" has the information given by the system, so it doesn't matter if you apply for copyright registration, but for "Teletubbies", where does Zuke have detailed information?
Although Zhuke does not remember the specific content of Teletubbies, he has seen it in his previous life, and more than once.
There is no need to be specific, as long as the content of the registration, including the protagonist’s image, name, content theme, story outline, etc., is completely legal in terms of legal provisions. In other words, as long as the application can be completed, the extremely influential work "Teletubbies" will have to belong to the old Zhu family from now on!
Actually, the drama "Teletubbies" is only suitable for children under 8 years old. Well, it's relatively naive, but it makes money!
has sold copyrights in dozens of countries, can it not make money?
"Zuke, you are really a clever ghost!" Zhuke praised himself secretly.
