Chapter 33: Celebration banquet
"All of them, I announce that the filming part of the "Fruit Hard Candy" film has been successfully completed!"
With the voice of director Zach Schneider falling, all the crew members of the entire crew exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm and joy.
"awesome!"
"Yes, we finished another theater movie!"
"Two weeks of finalizing the script, two weeks of pre-shooting preparations, and now four weeks of filming, we have gone through 56 days."
"Man, where is this? We still have post-production work to do!"
The enthusiasm of the people around is fire.
Zuke is no exception. Although the film "Fruit Hard Candies" is not his first film, it is the first time he has been a producer. There is a lot of sweat and bitterness in it.
"Zach, congratulations on your successful directing of this film." Zhu Ke thanked the director.
Hearing that, Zach Schneider nodded heavily, "Mr. Wald, I want to thank you, you... You know, I’m a MV director, and I want to make a real movie in my dreams. The movie you gave to..."
talking, Zha Dao suddenly burst into tears.
can't cry!
He is 31 years old this year!
However, since he started as a MV director in 1990, he has been preparing to enter Hollywood to shoot real movies, but the reality has caused him time after time.
The heads of countless film companies said to him: "Man, aren't you a director who shoots music videos and commercials? Can you make real movies? Why do you make us invest millions of dollars to trust you?"
The repeated blows made him desperate for life.
It wasn't until Zhu Ke appeared that he was able to usher in his moment!
"Okay buddy, all the suffering is over." Zhuke patted Zac on the shoulder as he said, a holy smile on his face.
"thanks, thanks!"
Zach Schneider burst into tears, but he kept telling his gratitude to Zhuke.
The Hulk who plays the leading actor, oh no, it’s Mark Ruffalo who is not getting any better at the moment, and crying into tears.
"I also want to thank Mr. Wald!"
Mark Ruffalo is also 30 years old this year.
"Fruit Hard Candies" is the first time he takes the lead role in the movie, or to be precise, the first time he takes the main role. Prior to this, he has always been the role of an extra actor. Not only that, he still does not have a stable job, so he can only subsidize the rent by working as a gardener and painter.
In recent years, he has participated in about 800 auditions one after another, but failed once.
In addition, he has served as a bartender for nearly ten years!
said unceremoniously that he was a middle-aged Mark Ruffalo, and he did nothing!
It was also the appearance of Zhuke and Wald Pictures, which opened a new life for him.
"Okay, Mark, I'm so old and crying. Look, if you keep crying, it's time for Little Scarlett to laugh at you." Zhu Ke laughed unceremoniously.
"Uh......."
Hearing this, Mark Ruffalo flushed his old face at the moment.
Scarlett Johansson herself laughed even more.
"Mark, and Zach, the way you cry, it's really ugly~!"
Regardless of Scarlett Johansson’s young age, she is only 13 years old this year, but she has been an advertising model since she was 8 years old, and she has appeared in several films. Although the role is not big, her experience of mixing on the studio for many years still makes her understand. A little bit of Zach's mood.
"Look, look at all. I'll just say that Little Scarlett is going to laugh at you."
Zhuke laughed and scolded.
At this moment, a crew member whispered a few words in Zhuke's ear.
Hearing this, Zhu Ke shouted at everyone on the spot: "Everyone, in my villa tonight, there will be a finale banquet of "Fruit Hard Candies", and it is also "Lola Run" produced by Wald Pictures. The box office results, successfully breaking the $16 million celebration party, please give credit to everyone!"
"boss~~!"
For an instant, thunderous shouts erupted on the scene.
Zhuke’s luxurious villa is not a secret to everyone. It is also known that Zhuke himself has never lived in it once. Now it is used to hold a finale banquet and celebration banquet, which shows that Zhuke attaches great importance to the crew and the film.
value?
That’s right, Zhu Ke really attaches great importance to the crew, including them, but this is not the main reason for Zhu Ke to hold a party at Villa.
"Fuck! It seems that Lao Tzu's set of buying people's hearts is really good." Zhu Ke's heart moved.
...
That night.
Located in a luxurious villa in Burbank, Wald Pictures held a very luxurious party. Well, well, it didn’t cost much, $120,000. This sum of money is really not a large sum of money for Zhu Ke, who has now acquired 40% of icq's equity.
Now Zhu Ke's net worth has exceeded 40 million US dollars, of course, this includes real estate and stocks. Even so, Zhu Ke can be considered a rich man.
The crew of "Lola Run", including the main actors Charlize Theron and James McAvoy; the crew of "Fruit Candies", the director Zach Schneider, and the actors Mark Ruffalo Carrie Johnson and others all attended tonight's party.
In addition, the directors of the two films "Fatal Turn" and "Juneo" were also invited to attend.
John Lasseter, the head of Pixar's five generals, old Billy from a chain store around Utah, and Amazon CEO Bei Shao, who came from Seattle, are also on the list.
Time is passing slowly.
The party tonight was a success!
not only makes everyone extravagant, but also successfully maintains Zhu Ke's network of contacts, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.
After the party, Zhuke left the three of them.
Own CEO Victor;
Old Billy from a chain store around Utah;
Amazon president Bei bald head.
"Zuke, my friend, I'm not too young, if you don't say why you left us, don't blame my old man for losing his temper."
Old Billy pretended to be angry.
Zhuke immediately laughed and scolded: "Old Billy, I don't dare to make you lose your temper. Who doesn't know that although your old Billy is eating in Utah, but you old fellow is an out-and-out Texas native, I If I offend you, I can’t prevent you from shooting me one day!"
"You know it." Old Billy was extremely proud.
Don't look at Zhu Ke and old Billy. They are more than 30 years old, but they are surprisingly similar in personalities. It's a good relationship when they get along.
Bei bald head smiled, UU read www.uukanshu.com and didn't speak.
"Victor, you show the information to Mr. Bezos." Zhuke said to Victor.
Bei's bald head was taken aback.
However, he still took the information and read it.
"Mr. Bezos, we boos are here to stay with you tonight, just to discuss a business cooperation with you, mainly on the Internet online sales of movie peripheral products." Victor said.
"Oh? Are the movie merchandise sold?"
"This is not bad."
Today's Amazon e-mall mainly sells books, so it is also called an "online bookstore." However, with Bei's bald head, he is certainly not willing to just sell books. Now it is only in the dormant period.
"Crack~!"
Zhuke slapped his thigh and said, "Look, you are on the Bezos cable platform. I have a movie company and surrounding stores. The old Billy also has 9 stores in Utah. Not only that, his son is in Utah, There are several logistics company owners in the three states of Nevada and California. Together, the three of us can completely sell products other than books on Amazon, creating a new situation in one fell swoop."
Old Billy: "......"
Bei bald head: "..."
The voice fell, and both of them were taken aback.
But there was no clear objection, instead, he fell into contemplation.
For a long time, Bei Bald head suddenly smiled and looked at Zhu Ke and said: "Mr. Wald, the old Billy's son has a logistics company. It is understandable that I cooperated with him, but... but with all due respect, your Wald German Films is not very eye-catching. If I choose, I will definitely choose a large company for cooperation."
Hearing the words, Zhuke smiled without saying a word, and did not respond, but old Billy fell silent.
