Chapter 28: Director candidates
the next day.
Zhu Ke, who was excited for a long time because of a genius idea, came to the company early in the morning, intending to carry the cottage to the end.
But, I ran into Charlize Theron by accident.
"Hey, Charlize, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, you're still so beautiful." Zhuke's compliment was almost at ease.
"Zuke, you are still so handsome."
I have to say that Charlize Theron, known as the emperor of Serbia, is indeed very beautiful. Today she is wearing a sky blue shirt, which completely reveals her upper circumference and is full of beauty.
Of course, Zhu Ke instantly lost interest when he thought of her "lack of fatherly love, wanting a father-like boyfriend" criteria for choosing a mate.
"Uh...how do you think of me today?" Zhuke curiously asked.
"oh~~"
Hearing this, Charlize made a very disappointed expression: "Zuke, you disappointed me too much. We are friends when you say yes, but you forgot. I am the spokesperson of SpongeBob SquarePants House. I am here today. Shooting endorsement ads."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I will invite you to dinner later, okay." Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand.
"Well, I forgive you, who made you the big boss."
Sai Huang smiled happily.
Obviously, she has had a pretty good time this time.
She had no idea that "Run Lola," in which she acted as the heroine, won a box office of more than tens of millions of dollars. This is a very important resume for her fledgling.
Moreover, she was also favored by CAA, a giant American brokerage company, and successfully joined. It is said that the company is currently looking for a suitable movie role for her.
"Then I have to congratulate you, um, this lunch, it seems that you have to come and treat."
Zhuke's dog chicken thief.
With a congratulatory word, I had a big meal.
Of course, when Zhu Ke learned that she joined CAA, he was also happy for her and also proud of herself. The more famous Charlize is, the better SpongeBob is, after all, she is a spokesperson, or a life-long one.
Then, the two chatted a few more words.
The atmosphere is pretty good.
Not long after, the arrival of a photographer from Wald Pictures interrupted their chat. After all, Charlize came here today to shoot an advertisement.
"Talk later." Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand.
Walked into CEO Victor’s office and first asked about the progress of the script adaptation.
"Boss, the script is still being adapted, and it is estimated to be completed within a week. Of course, after the director is determined, I have to discuss with him before the final draft can be finalized."
Victor said slowly.
Although Hollywood is a producer-centric system, in principle the producer can decide everything, including the final script, but for small companies like Wald Pictures, they respect the director’s work very much. After all, if this director is not good enough, it will become a great tool in the future, which will bring greater profits to the company. It's like Harvey Weinstein. Didn't he make a lot of money just because he dug Quentin?
"That's good, um, does the script copyright have someone to go to the labor union and copyright office to apply for the copyright?" Zhu Ke asked.
"I arranged for Martha to do it early today."
"Did anyone choose the director?"
"Not yet, but I have started looking for it."
I have to say that with Victor's existence, Zhuke is much more relieved.
"Hehe, Victor. I have a few suitable candidates." Zhuke laughed at this moment.
"Uh......."
For a while, Victor couldn't help but become curious. He and Zhu Ke have been together for more than half a year, knowing that although he is young, he will definitely not aimlessly.
Zhu Ke mysteriously took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase, and recorded the relevant information of several film directors.
Movie: "Fatal Turn", the director's preliminary plan is: M·Night·Samaran;
Movie: "Fruit Hard Candies", the director initially planned as: Zach Schneider;
Movie: "Juneo", the director initially planned as: Richard Linklater.
This time, Zhuke is obviously going to play a big one, shoot three movies at once, and open the market in the United States in one fell swoop.
...
The home of director M. Knight Shamaran.
"Wald Pictures? Are you looking for me to shoot a movie?"
Shamaran, with an Indian face, looked at the two of Zhuke and Martha Hopkins who came to visit with puzzlement and confusion.
"Yes, we are pretty sure, you are the film director we are looking for." Sister Martha said cherishedly.
? ? ?
There is no doubt that at this moment, M. Knight Shamaran is in a daze.
Yes, he wanted to become a director and was working hard, but he never expected the opportunity to come so suddenly.
You know, he is only 26 years old this year!
can be said to be quite young. Moreover, there has not been an official cinematic film. Well, college works are not counted.
Although he was quite excited at the moment, he still suppressed joy and asked, "May I ask, why is it me?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ke and Martha smiled at each other.
"Why can't it be you? Introduce, Zhuke Wald, the boss of our company, is also a genius director, screenwriter, and producer. He is only 19 years old, and his first film is "Lola Run". , Is currently in theaters nationwide, and the cumulative box office has reached 14 million U.S. dollars. Choosing you to be the director of "Fatal Bend" is also a strong recommendation from our boss." Martha said in a word.
Genius director?
or screenwriter and producer?
Lola, run?
A $14 million box office?
Masha's four combos, UU reading www.uukanshu.com caused a huge psychological blow to Shamaran.
Immediately, Shamaran's gaze turned to the young Zhuke.
Zhuke sat on the sofa unsmilingly, and said angrily at Martha, "How many times have I said, I am an ordinary young director, not a genius."
The feeling of pretending to be B is great!
That's right, Zhu Ke's heart is so happy at this moment.
In the end, M. Knight Shamaran accepted the invitation of Wald Pictures to become the director of "Fatal Turn 1", and the initial negotiation was $150,000.
M. Knight Shamaran is very young now, and he has never acted as the director of a theater-line movie. This is all right, but he is the screenwriter and director of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", the runner-up in the North American box office in 1999. Little demon.
In other words, if you win him now, the box office of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" will enter Zhuke's pocket.
...
The shooting site of a certain song MV.
As the filming director of "300 Spartan", "Superman: Man of Steel", "DC Justice League", Zach Schneider, he is now just an ordinary MV director.
At this moment, he faced the invitation from Wald Pictures and accepted it without hesitation.
In his words: "Every MV director wants to be a film director, and I am no exception. The opportunity is rare!"
At this point, Zach Schneider has officially become the director of "Fruit Hard Candies" with a salary of 150,000 US dollars. That's right, his director's pay is the same as M. Knight Shamaran.
After all, both of them are worthy of Zhuke's wooing. Those who can bring profits to themselves are good partners. Therefore, one cannot favor one another.
