Chapter 448: 0 breakthrough!
Los Angeles, Burbank area.
The eighth district film company.
It is a film company that has just been established less than a week ago, with a registered capital of USD 5 million. There are so many film companies like this in Burbank.
The difference is that it has a great location, adjacent to Wald Pictures, which is owned by Zucker.
However, the founder of the eighth district film company is not simple.
Actor George Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh are the two founders of this newly formed eighth district film company.
George Clooney, he is a well-known Hollywood actor, "Dawn", "Batman and Robin", "Strategic Master", "Eleven Arhats", "Twelve Arhats" and other movies are all His masterpiece.
In 2012, the film "Escape from Tehran", produced by him, won the 85th Academy Award for Best Picture in one fell swoop.
Even though it is early 2001, George Clooney is also a Hollywood actor and famous.
Another founder-Steven Soderbergh!
He is definitely not a person who is waiting for leisure.
And, he is a very famous director in the Hollywood circle!
In 1989, at the age of 26, Soderbergh directed his debut film "Sex, Lies and Videotape", which directly won the Palme d'Or at the 42nd Cannes International Film Festival;
In 1998, he shot the film "Strategic Master" and won the Best Director Award from the American Film Critics Association;
Within a few years, he won the 73rd Oscar for Best Director.
George Clooney;
Steven Soderbergh;
The eighth district film company founded by the two of them, don’t look at the new establishment just a week ago, but it is fully equipped with powerful production capabilities, which should not be underestimated.
...
At this moment, George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh are standing in the office on the third floor of the company, through a huge French window, looking at Wald Pictures not far away.
"Look, look at it!"
George Clooney pointed to Wald Pictures next door, and said vigorously: "In a few years, our eighth district film company will be able to rise up like Wald Pictures!"
Director Steven Soderbergh nodded in agreement.
"In September 1996, "Batman and Robin" starring me was released in North America; Wald Pictures' "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" was released at the same time, and the production cost was only half of "Batman and Robin". The cost of publicity is even more incomparable."
"But, what's the result?"
"The "Batman and Robin" movie has a blood loss!!! In the first half of its release, the North American box office earned more than 80 million U.S. dollars, and the production company Warner Inc. was stomped with anger."
"And Zucker Wald's "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" movie has a North American box office of nearly 300 million and a global box office of 670 million US dollars."
"Sometimes, it doesn't work if you are not convinced!"
George Clooney whispered, the speech was full of plainness.
However, his heart is definitely not at peace!
To be honest, how many people looked at Wald Pictures and Zhuke, a young man? But now, looking at the entire Hollywood, who would dare to ignore Zhuke himself and Wald Pictures? !
"Hahaha~"
Suddenly, the director Steven Soderbergh let out a hearty laugh, "Don't worry, I will help you avenge this one."
Hearing this, George Clooney immediately lit up and smiled: "Don't even say, the movie "Drug Network" you directed is really very likely to win this year's Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. Several awards."
Among the many films released by Chong Ao recently, "Drug Network" is the most outstanding film!
Even the well-performing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie was severely suppressed by "Drug Network".
...
at the same time.
Kevin Fitch, the new acting president of Wald Pictures, and Gavin O'Connor, the deputy director of the production department, are standing in the office of the president of Wald Pictures, looking into the distance.
It happened that the two of them saw George Clooney standing at the window.
"The two of them really got together?" Kevin Fitch asked.
"That's right!"
Gavin O'Connor, the deputy director of the production department, said: "This should be the first time they came here after the formation of their eighth district film company. Haha, I don't want us to become neighbors."
In fact, the atmosphere in the office at this moment is a bit solemn.
The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie with high hopes has been severely suppressed by Steven Soderberg's "Drug Network" in terms of box office and word of mouth.
This is not good news!
"This year's Oscar awards, we want to win the best film, best director awards, it is too difficult." Kevin Fitch said solemnly.
Gavin O'Connor sighed and said: "It's up to people to get things done, and it's up to the sky to get things done. This is what the boss often talks about. I think it makes sense. From the current situation, we have the opportunity to compete for the best foreign language film. Bigger."
Wald Pictures is growing day by day. Whether it is Zhuke or every executive of Wald Pictures, they are not only satisfied with getting high-gross movies, but also want to win a few Oscars. Fill the honor room of the company.
Look at other film companies.
Looking at any famous film company in Hollywood, in its corporate honor room, which one does not have a lot of Oscar figurines?
But!
The huge Wald Pictures is known as the top film company under the Big Six in Hollywood. Its honor room is empty, and there is no golden man.
It's so good to say that it doesn't sound good!
The Oscar statuette is actually not important and does not affect the reputation of a film company. However, you don't even have a statuette, which is very speechless!
This year...that is, in 2001, the 73rd Oscar award ceremony, from Zhuke himself, down to every employee of Wald Pictures, wanted to make a zero breakthrough.
...
Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group.
At this moment, Zhu Ke, the boss of the group, is chatting and talking about work with the company's CEO Victor.
"From 2001 to 2003, in the past two years, if there are no accidents, I will not add additional funds to invest in Wald Pictures. We must consolidate our foundation and enhance our ability to resist risks. However, if it is the Hollywood VI Big, or DreamWorks, MGM and other film companies, have the act of taking greater action, you don’t have to be afraid, just let it go!" Genius remembers 噺バ一中文mx/8/1/z/wc /o/m/
Zhu Ke said in a deep voice~www.wuxiaspot.com~I understand! "
Victor nodded and solemnly said: "To be honest, even if you don't mention the boss, I will mention it to you. Our entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has developed too fast. However, our foundation is not Steady. From myself, to the person in charge of each subsidiary, to every executive, almost everyone is too young!"
Young means vitality and energy!
But... it also means lack of experience, lack of calmness and old-fashionedness. In the handling of many jobs and projects, it is inferior to the six companies with deep foundations in Hollywood, and it is inevitable that various problems and mistakes will occur.
"Don't be afraid of making mistakes, after all, we are still young!"
Zhu Ke smiled and said: "How can young people not make mistakes, what we want is to learn from their mistakes. Just like this 73rd Oscar competition, we lack enough experience, but we don't lack competition. courage!"
