Chapter 364: The fuse of the Internet bubble

Director Simon West, he has directed the global box office of more than 220 million US dollars "Prison in the Air", this is true, but now, as the six major Hollywood Paramount Pictures, he handed him an olive branch. How would you refuse?

Not only did not refuse, but also gladly accepted the directorship of "Tomb Raider".

The director's salary is 3 million U.S. dollars.

No box office dividends.

Although director Simon West is nearly 40 years old, he is a new Hollywood director after all, and box office dividends... he can't enjoy it.

Take a look at Zucker’s confidant Zach Schneider!

Before entering Hollywood, Zach was a well-known commercial and MV director in the United States. After that, he continuously shot many popular films such as "Fruit Candies", "Human Removal Project", "Spartan 300 Warriors" and so on. In the cost movie "Shark Beach", he won the first box office share contract in his life.

How difficult it is for the director to split the box office!

As for the profit sharing of the peripheral products of the movie, it is even more enjoyable by the top directors in Hollywood, um, and not every movie can have it.

"Simon, don't have any hesitation. The director's salary offered by Paramount and Mr. Wald is not low." Agent Baron urged.

"I know."

Director Simon nodded and said: "Even if I have the honor of "Prison in the Air", according to the market price, my current salary is only 2 million US dollars. This time Paramount and Mr. Wald offered a price of 3 million US dollars. , It is already quite rich."

Barron broker excitedly hand-wringing, and said:. "Fantastic you this time directed" Tomb Raider "movie, not only to climb the Paramount this line, but also, and Mr. Wald cooperation in the future Your path is definitely very broad, and countless directors are simply envious!"

The agent is of course very excited. Only when their artists become famous can they get more rewards.

at the same time.

CAA, a well-known brokerage company in the United States.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the CAA headquarters building is solemn. Especially in the conference room where the meeting is being held, the atmosphere is about to drip with dignity.

"Director Simon West, director he is not what we signed with CAA, but WMA (William Morris) company man." Jory, head of the Television Department · Abramovich bite.

"What's so strange about this?"

An executive curl one's lip and said:. "This is not the usual behavior Zucker Wald thing as long as he Zucker movie, then director, the main actor, he will not use our people, ah, there is a Except Charlize Theron."

Everyone at the scene nodded gravely.

Competition in Hollywood is everywhere.

Although the CAA is one of the nation's largest brokerage firm, but its opponent is a vegetarian, WMA (William Morris) company, ICM (International Innovation Management) company, is a rival with the CAA.

Television Head · Abramovich Jolly Chen Sheng said: "Hollywood on so many resources, and the development Wald Pictures more quickly, we Zucker Wald bad relationship with and against each other before, this This is an indisputable fact. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely be detrimental to us."

"Jory, are you going to... lower your head? Begging for forgiveness from Zhuke Wald, a little-bellied guy?!" An executive said in horror.

Head down, compromise...

It's so good to say it!

CAA as one of the nation's largest brokerage firm, has its own natural pride to know that a few years ago, their company's bottom a broker, dare any one of them burst into six, six of CEO clamor to pound the table.

What a delight it is!

Well, the rampant old days are gone.

But directly begging Zhu Ke for mercy, and some of the executives who were immersed in the glory of the past felt really uncomfortable.

The head of the film and television department, Jory Movich, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't beg for mercy, wait to die! Look at the cast list of "Tomb Raider", do these actors belong to our CAA company?"

"No, none of them!"

"You guys, just imagine, with the further expansion of Wald Pictures, will Hollywood have our CAA guys? Those actors and directors, which one is not a human being? If this continues, they will not run away more than half of them. ?!"

The situation is grim!

For a while, all the CAA executives present calmed down.

.......

The next day.

Zhu Ke is giving orders on the crew of "Tomb Raider".

"Munta Choudi, with 16 years of lighting experience, has participated in the filming of "Titanic" and served as the head of the lighting team. Tom, the task of recruiting her is left to you. Three days later, I will be in the office. See her."

"Haka Philip, first-rate makeup artist. Your task is to get him into the crew."

"Lonwell Williams, Hollywood's top prop maker..."

.......

Undoubtedly, these people Zhu Ke now selects are the top talents in Hollywood film production.

They are not affiliated with Paramount Pictures, but exist as independent workers, but no one can ignore their abilities.

For a movie, the director and starring actors are the most important, but the behind-the-scenes workers of a good movie are also indispensable. Zhuke wants to choose the most suitable director and leading actor, so the slightest flaw in the selection process of the behind-the-scenes workers is not allowed.

All orders are issued.

"Mr. Wald, Monta Choudi, Haka Philip, Longwell Williams, etc., they are not easy to invite, after all, they have multiple film appointments." Tom Harris said. Difficult.

Zhuke nodded.

The more outstanding the talent, the more sought-after.

These independent behind-the-scenes workers have hardly stopped their work, and the next film contract will be seamless and very busy~

A few hours later, Zhu Ke received a call.

From the director of the CAA agency's film and television department, Jory Movich!

"Mr. Wald, I heard that the "Tomb Raider" project is inviting Monta Choudi, Haka Philip, Longwell William and others to work on lighting, makeup, props, etc. We CAA I can fix it for you." There was a voice on the phone.

Zhuke was surprised, but in a moment he calmly said: "How long will it take to get it done?"

Jory Movich: "In a week, I will definitely bring these people to you."

"It's too long, can it be done in three days?" Zhu Ke said solemnly.

The phone fell into silence for several seconds...

"Yes. Don't worry, I will satisfy you." Jory Mović said categorically.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Ke said calmly: "At a later time, I will ask Tom Harris of Paramount to send out audition invitations to several artists in your company."

"Thank you very much!" An excited voice came on the phone.

How can Jory Movich not get excited now?

Zhu Ke issued an audition invitation to their CAA artists. Isn't this the result he wants?

This is a sign of reconciliation!

Of course, to liberate Monta Choudi, Haka Philip, Longwell Williams and others from their contract with other companies, CAA is bound to pay a lot of favors and money, but they are still Do it without hesitation.

Zhuke is not the object of their CAA bullying, but the Hollywood tycoon who needs to flatter and please.

Hang up the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ding Ding Ding!

Another call came.

"Boss, quickly turn on the TV. Microsoft's Bill Gates is holding a press conference to announce that he will officially step down as Microsoft's CEO with immediate effect!"

"The position of Microsoft CEO will be taken over by Steve Ballmer. At the same time, Microsoft's share price and market value on the Nasdaq have fallen rapidly."

The person who called was surprisingly the new president of Gale Capital, Andy Chelop.

As soon as the news came, Zhu Ke bounced from his seat with a "tight".

Microsoft's antitrust investigation, Bill Gates stepped down as Microsoft CEO, isn't this a signal that the Internet bubble is about to burst?

This is undoubtedly the fuse of the Internet bubble burst!
