Chapter 217: 2 months later
Time flies quickly, like a stream running towards the sea.
In a blink of an eye, two months passed.
The filming scene of the crew of "Spartan 300".
"Crack~"
Director Zach Schneider stopped the performance and stood up for the first time and said loudly: "Now I announce that the filming of "300" is over and the film is officially closed!"
rush rush! ! !
The voice fell, and the entire crew from top to bottom, whether it was the producer Zhu Ke, director Zach Schneider, or the actors and ordinary employees of the crew, burst into enthusiastic applause and shouts.
"awesome!"
"At the end of December last year, the "Spartan 300 Warriors" project was established. By the beginning of March, actors were selected. After 100 days of actor body training, after a four-month filming cycle, all filming sessions have finally ended. "
"Yes, it's really not easy!"
"Guys, it's not over yet. After all, the post work of "300", as well as special effects work, will not be completed without 3-4 months."
"Hey, hey, I said, folks, don't worry about these now, the finale must be held!"
All crew members on the scene have been talking about it, and they have been happy, sighed, or reluctant... all kinds of emotions, and there are many.
Zhu Ke, who has always been stingy, didn't disappoint everyone at this moment. He announced on the spot that a large-scale finale banquet would be arranged tonight.
"Long live the boss!"
"Thank you Mr. Wald!"
For the crowd cheering, Zucker is absolutely unreservedly embrace.
is so urinary!
After all, whether the finale banquet was established in the entertainment circle whether it was in the United States or the Great China, it has become a routine, and Zhu Ke does not intend to destroy it.
That night.
"300" fixing dinner, on a five-star hotel in the Burbank area held.
This is part of the crew crank up the feast, so Zucker did not invite outsiders to participate. Of course, the old Bill Wald Pictures president Kevin Fitch vice president, is attended the fixing dinner.
Wine table.
Kevin Fitch said: "Boss, the post-production special effects team for "300", we have roughly finalized and cooperated with Industrial Light & Magic. However, their charges are not cheap."
"Is it Lucas' company?" Zhuke asked.
"Yes, boss."
Industrial Light & Magic, it is one of Hollywood's most well-known film special effects production companies, founded by the well-known director George Lucas who filmed the "Star Wars" series.
Since its establishment, has won 9 Oscars for best visual effects awards!
In 1991, the T1000 created by Industrial Light & Magic for "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" became the first protagonist of computer production in film history;
In 1994, it accepted the commission of the "Jurassic Park" crew. As a result, for the first time in film history, a character created by digital technology that can breathe with real skin, muscles and motion texture.
Later, the technology of Light and Magic became more and more advanced, and the imagination was broader, creating countless firsts in film history. Three-dimensional cartoon characters and talking real people also appeared in live-action movies.
In the future, we enter the 21st century, it is the most representative of Hollywood film special effects production company.
"Star Wars", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Fake God", "Iron Man"...
Since 1975, it has produced movie special effects for countless film companies. Only Hollywood’s first-line large-scale productions cost more than 100 million yuan, and it has undertaken as many as hundreds of special effects productions.
It is no exaggeration to say that Industrial Light & Magic for the development of good gifts, is to play a creative, subversive action!
In the era of special effects in Hollywood, Industrial Light and Magic is absolutely indispensable!
However...
It is excellent, but it is expensive!
is much more expensive than other special effects production companies in the same industry.
"Kevin, quote Industrial Light & Magic is how much?" Zucker inquired.
"15 million US dollars, 4 months production time." Kevin responded.
Zuke frowned.
To be honest, the price is a bit high!
After all, look at "300" the entire film, which is not part of the special effects and more.
That is the level of Industrial Light and Magic special effects superb, otherwise Zucker absolutely have to BS-ing, Nima too dark!
"Kevin, you can talk to them again and try to lower the price below 10 million U.S. dollars. Of course, you are not without bargaining chips. Don’t forget, our $140 million production cost of "Spider-Man" has not yet finalized special effects. Where is the production company?"
With Zucker's voice down, Kevin Fitch eyes light up immediately.
"Spider-Man" worth more than $ 40 million in orders for big special effects, Industrial Light and Magic do not believe no heart!
In fact, the same is true.
At the beginning of September and the end of September, Zhuke personally received several calls from the owner of Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas.
Conversations, nothing more than "Spider-Man" special effects large orders!
As for the special effects production of "300 Spartan" with a price of tens of millions of dollars, Industrial Light and Magic does not know how much it has to bear every year, and they don’t particularly care. After all, even the six major A-line major productions in Hollywood, Most of them are handed over to them to make special effects.
Well, Industrial Light & Magic has such confidence!
At least when Peter Jackson’s Weta Digital, Cameron’s digital field, and Sony Image Studio have not really risen, Industrial Light and Magic is the world’s best film special effects production company.
"Oh, right."
Zhuke suddenly asked: "I remember that "My Grand Greek Wedding" has also been filmed, and it is in the later stages, right?"
"Yes, boss."
Kevin Fitch nodded and said: "The late stage of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has already progressed more than halfway, and it is expected to be completed in early November. Of course, it is a romantic comedy, and Bill and I plan to arrange It will be released on Valentine's Day in February next year."
Zhuke knows it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Love comedy movies, not on Valentine's Day, how can we maximize the box office? !
Zhuke pondered for a while and said, "While "My Grand Greek Wedding" is released in North America, please discuss with several companies such as the Carlos Foundation and Mountain Capital to see if they can help us to make this movie Movies can also be shown overseas at the same time."
Kevin tentatively asked: "Are you going to let it test the water and see our current overseas distribution capabilities?"
"That's right!"
Zuke bluntly said: "It's not just our overseas distribution capabilities, but also see what these big companies can do for us. Just one "Spider-Man" is not sincere enough."
The nature of a profiteer is fully exposed.
can take advantage, Zhuke will never let it go!
...
The next day.
Zhuke got up very early on this day, because today is bound to be a busy day.
Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, as well as its television groups, publishing groups, music companies, animation companies, etc., Zhu Ke has to ask about recent developments.
Similarly, under Armour Sporting Goods Company, LinkedIn Company, Manchester City Team, Gale Capital, California Standard Bank, etc., Zhuke should also pay attention to it.
laissez-faire, too much ethics of new professional managers, is not Zhu Ke's usual style.
Be wary!
Be vigilant!
In the workplace, there is no room for relaxation!
"The life of a rich man is not easy for his mother!" Zhu Ke couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly.
The first update of "" is sent.
