Chapter 392: Warner CEO is anxious
"District Nine" is limited by the production cost, so that many famous actors are unwilling to participate in it, but there is no shortage of actors in Hollywood!
Without Zhang Butcher, wouldn’t he eat pork?
is ridiculous!
After the official news was announced, it took only a few days to board the brokerage company and broker representatives of Wald Pictures every day. That's quite a lot.
James McAvoy is one of them.
At the beginning of 1996, this young "Professor X" once starred in Wald Pictures’ first film "Lola Run" and acted as the leading actor.
With the overseas box office of "Lola Run" exceeding 100 million yuan, he can be regarded as a prominent figure in Hollywood, becoming one of the new generation of young male actors in Hollywood.
He is grateful to Zhuke!
"In fact, he must also thank Zhuke."
Without Zucker’s crossing, James McAvoy hadn’t got a small role in "Brothers" until 2001, and then up and down for a few years, relying on "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "X-Men". "The First Battle" has just completely risen.
James McAvoy was the first to respond after the Wald Pictures official announced the actor interview.
At the same time, he made a phone call to Zhuke himself.
"I'm interested."
"James McAvoy, I can't guarantee you now that you will get the chance to get the actor of "District Nine", but... as long as your performance is good enough to impress me, then you must be the leading actor. ."
"Reassure~"
"However, I have a word to say."
"Your age is a disadvantage. At 21, many roles are not suitable for you."
Zhuke chose the ugly words to be the first.
The film "The Ninth District" has certain requirements for the character of the male protagonist.
First of all, he has a wide range of social experience. Therefore, his age should not be too young. About 30 years old is the most suitable.
Professor X is still too young now!
"Thank you Mr. Wald, I see." James McAvoy on the other end of the phone, feeling a little depressed at the moment.
"Hahaha~"
Zhuke laughed and said, "You are still young, buddy. Even without this "Ninth District", you will have a lot of opportunities."
"really?!"
Suddenly, James McAvoy was full of surprises, and the depression was wiped out.
He knew that Zhu Ke was comforting him, and at the same time, he was hinting at him--I will give you a chance.
That's right!
He guessed it right!
Zhu Ke is currently planning a new movie-"Dancing Out of My Life".
In the recent past, Zhuke has successively acquired a number of Hollywood film and television companies and initiated acquisitions of Summit Entertainment. However... Summit Entertainment rejected Zhuke.
It stands to reason, ah, business is not righteous. Even if everyone fails to reach an acquisition, forget it.
But that's not the case!
Patrick Wattsberg, chairman of Summit Entertainment, suffered a heavy loss in the Internet bubble, and was nowhere to be angry. No, he vented all his anger on the representatives sent by Zhuke.
Moreover, he publicly declared in the media: "Zuke Wald, wishful thinking!"
Zuke was very annoyed.
"You ungrateful animal!"
"In that case, don't blame me shamelessly!"
Summit Entertainment has a lot of good things in the future. The two sides have already settled a grievance, and Zhuke will naturally not let it go easily, and must teach a lesson.
"Dancing Out of My Life" movie series, is one of the signatures of Summit Entertainment in the future.
But now?
"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's mine!" Zhu Ke thought to himself.
After Hollywood enters the 21st century, movies on science fiction, action, horror, love and other themes can be described as a hundred flowers blooming.
In addition to "Chicago" and "High School Musical", it is also the "Dance Out of My Life" series of films, which are well-known at home and abroad.
Hu?
Hehe, has Zhuke done this kind of thing very rarely? !
...The fastest computer terminal of the new 81 Chinese network update: https://
Warner Bros. Pictures.
"I made a mistake!"
"It was originally hoped that after the merger of Time Warner Group and AOL, we could achieve a score of 1+1 greater than 2, but who knows that the current internal struggle will be so intense."
Steve Rose, chairman of Time Warner Group, was furious.
1+1 is greater than 2?
The combination of the old and new media did not play a positive role. On the contrary, it was overwhelming and the struggle was serious, and the struggle almost never ceased for a moment.
For now, the combination of the two major media, 1+1 equals 1 is considered good.
Pulling hind legs, Nima is too cheating!
咚咚咚~
At this moment, the office door was pushed open.
The person who came in was Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, a subsidiary of Time Warner!
"Boss, this is the news from Wald Pictures you want." Barry Meyer said.
handed out a document.
Steve Rose scanned the information for a long time, and sighed: "Zuke Wald is really cunning. The $30 million production cost of "District Nine" will stir the situation in this way. , You can be said to be young!"
"It's true."
Barry Meyer is also extremely shrewd, saying: "It stands to reason that "District Nine" is just an ordinary science fiction movie, but Wald Pictures has done the opposite, using ultra-low production costs. Propaganda, gaining a lot of attention and getting huge attention!"
The two chatted again.
But while chatting, I talked about the "Spider-Man" movie that Wald Pictures will release soon.
"The "Spider-Man" movie can be said to be the ambition of Wald Pictures!"
"As we all know, Marvel owns thousands of superhero comics copyrights, and is the only existence in the United States that can be compared with our DC comics."
"The performance of "Blade Warrior" is good, it opened up a lot of world for Marvel."
"Although Zhuke Wald did not acquire the equity of Marvel, he holds dozens of Marvel superhero copyrights. Once "Spider-Man" has achieved unprecedented success, then the Hulk, Captain America, Superheroes such as Thor are bound to land in theaters one after another."
"By then, even if we release Superman, Batman, Flash, etc. movies, we will be a step slower ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Barry Meyer's analysis can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
However...it's useless at all!
As early as Zhuke announced the filming of "Spider-Man", Barry Meyer planned to restart the Batman and Superman movies.
However, Time Warner was busy negotiating mergers and acquisitions with AOL at the time. How could there be time to restart Batman and Superman?
What now?
is even more busy with internal struggles, fighting for power, and no one supports him Barry Meyer's proposal.
Time Warner Group Chairman Steve Rose patted Barry Meyer on the shoulder and sighed: "You are worried about being one step behind others, and I am equally anxious, but... AOL gangsters, they know a hammer. The movie!"
Say a thousand words and ten thousand, Time Warner cannot obtain the right to speak in the new company, so restarting Batman and Superman is impossible.
...
The next day.
Zhu Ke sits at the headquarters of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group and convenes a congress of all subsidiaries.
There is only one purpose!
That is the overall energy of operating the group. Before the release of "Spider-Man", the overall copyright operation of "Spider-Man" was coordinated.
Movies, comics, broadcasts, magazines, books, peripheral products, peripheral licenses, games...
Use all available means to maximize the benefits of Spider-Man.
The first update of "" is sent. I'm late, sorry~
