Chapter 379: Old bill is going to retire
Wald Pictures.
Old Bill Mcnick, Kevin Fitch, and Zach Schneider sat in the conference room for a meeting.
Yes, there is one more Zach Schneider.
Zach is a director and has made many films for Wald Pictures. From the outside world, he has already been labeled Wald Pictures. Not long ago, he accepted the invitation of Zhu Ke and Old Bill to formally serve as the director of the production department of Wald Pictures, and became one of the executives of Wald Pictures.
"I heard that Mr. Wald returned to Los Angeles yesterday?" Zack asked.
Old Bill nodded and said: "Yes, Alexander personally picked it up at the airport. It is said that Mr. Wald's team has added a few think tanks, but I don't know who it is."
As a company executive, being able to understand the dynamics of his own boss in time is a required course for professional managers in North America.
Well, it is also the way to survive.
Kevin Fitch echoed: "Mr. Wald’s think tank member, I know one-Baggio Liszt Jr. He was formerly the vice president of Aviva (Commercial Insurance) in the United Kingdom. "Leeport and the Sorcerer's Stone" project, in the British publicity, I have contact with him, is a very powerful guy, information collection is his specialty." First issue https://https://
Old Bill and Zach nodded.
"Zach, you are now the director of the production department, and you are still in charge of the filming of the movie "Shark Beach." I don't know what the current situation is?" Old Bill asked.
Zach responded: "Mr. McNick, the film "Shark Beach" was closed yesterday, and it is expected to be completed before the end of June."
Speaking of the "Shark Beach" movie, Zach Schneider couldn't help being a little excited, because it was his first film to receive a personal director's dividend.
In the following time, the vice president Kevin Fitch also told the two about his recent work.
The first thing to determine is the movie "Butterfly Effect", which will be released in the United States on April 19.
"Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan co-direct the "Butterfly Effect", and the promotion of the two should also increase their efforts. We must pay attention to the creation of the star director." Old Bill said solemnly.
Star director?
Since ancient times, the most popular people in Hollywood have always been actors standing in front of the stage. When it comes to popularity among the general public, as the core director of a movie, he can only stand back. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
Old Bill smiled and said: "Although the current Internet bubble has greatly harmed the market environment, we can still see that the future belongs to the Internet. With the spread of the Internet, the director’s personal popularity will never be inferior to that in the future. Star actors, therefore, we have to create a group of star directors in advance."
The Star Director's plan is the plan that the old Bill mentioned in the meeting not long ago.
Well-known actors have a huge appeal for a movie, which can improve the box office performance, but... can the director not do it?
Do not!
The director also has a huge appeal!
Spielberg, James Cameron and other big directors, their own name, can attract a large number of movie audiences to buy tickets.
However, the fact is that directors with strong market appeal were really few, very few in the early 2000s.
"Since we don't have a star director, then we will create a star director, create a director with market appeal~"
I have to say, Old Comrade Bill is still quite courageous!
Todd Phillips, his future "Hangover" movie series, "Joker 2019", is a rare good movie;
Christopher Nolan, it doesn’t have to be much. His trilogy of "Batman The Dark Knight" has been talked about by countless movie fans.
At present, the two of them, plus a Zach Schneider, total 3 people. They are the directors highly praised by Wald Pictures and even the entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and they are also the face of the "star director" project. .
"ninth District";
"The Queen Wearing Prada";
These two films are also very good movies after Hollywood enters the 21st century, and Gu Ye has made quite good box office.
But...
Now these two movies have been "plagiarized" by classmate Zhu Ke again and entered the script library of Wald Pictures.
Kevin Fitch said: "My plan is for Christopher Nolan to be the director of "District Nine" and Todd Phillips to be the director of "Queen Wearing Prada". As long as these two films are successful again, Coupled with the promotion of our entire group, it is obvious that the director’s plan is a success!"
Some people may ask, after they become star directors, will they make movies for other film and television companies?
The answer is yes!
Looking at the entire Hollywood, only a few directors are tied to a film and television company. The vast majority of directors are mobile and will shoot movies for many film companies in their lifetime.
Zhu Ke’s company turned directors into star directors. They turned around and ran to shoot movies for other companies. Did Zhu Ke suffer?
is a loss, but from a long-term perspective, it is not a loss!
Once Wald Pictures completes its plan to build a "star director", it will definitely have a huge appeal for directors who are not well-known, and it can further enhance the influence of Wald Pictures.
This alone is that it is hard to change a daughter!
Furthermore, befriending a star director is itself an intangible asset of the film and television company.
You went to another company to shoot a movie, but this does not mean that you can make movies for Wald Pictures again in the future.
Human relationship is not only unique to the Great Heaven, but it also exists in the whole world!
At the end of the meeting, old Bill revealed a message.
"Two~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Thank you very much for this time working with you." Old Bill smiled.
"Uh?"
Upon hearing this, both Kevin and Zach were taken aback.
"Mr. McNick, you mean...you want to retire...retire?!" Kevin Fitch said in astonishment.
"No way?" Zach asked in astonishment.
"Ha ha!"
Old Bill smiled and said, "Two, I am 69 years old this year, and it's time to enjoy my old age."
In fact, Old Comrade Bill was also a master who refused to admit defeat, but Naihe really couldn't hold it anymore.
In the filming of the movie "Spider-Man", the old Bill was in charge of the position of producer, and he was hospitalized three times. He had more than his heart and lacked energy!
Old Bill spread his hands and said again: "No regrets. When I was swept out by 20th Century Fox a few years ago, I thought my film life was over. But... just when I was in the bottom of my valley. At the time, it was Zhu Ke, whom I had hated so much, who handed me an olive branch. In the past few years, I have been very satisfied."
Throughout the narrative, old Bill's face is kind and contented.
Especially facing Zhuke, his mood is also extremely complicated. After all, he used to hate Zucker so much, it was all because of the "Titanic" movie.
But now, this old man who has been in Hollywood for a lifetime, as he said, can shine again when he is nearly 70 years old, and he has no regrets in his life.
