, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
One week passed again.
The first 15-day recruitment and training of the youth performing arts department launched by Wald Pictures officially came to an end.
It attracted the participation of as many as 2,000 young people from all countries and regions around the world. One by one, accompanied by their parents, they participated in round after round of selection.
However, there are only 10 places that can be admitted in the end.
The successful pass rate is only 2%!
"Mom, I was eliminated."
After the final results were announced on the official website, many teenagers who were eliminated and lost, many of them shed tears.
A little boy who was only 12 years old, his eyes were soaked with tears and blurred, and his ears were sobbing endlessly.
"Mom, why don't they want me?" The little boy cried extremely sadly.
The little boy's mom and dad can only provide constant comfort.
Mother said distressed: "Don't cry. Baby, don't cry!"
Dad said: "Baby, this is only the first period of recruitment and training. After half a year, Wald Pictures will start the second period of recruitment and training, and we will come again when that time comes."
the second term?
Hearing this, the little boy's eyes lit up, which made him feel much better.
Well, this is a type of family harmony.
.......
The American entertainment industry is different from Eastern traditional thinking. In the Eastern mode of thinking, parents want their children to have a good childhood, but the West is different.
Especially for some parents who do not have a job, their purpose of nurturing children is very clear, which is to make their children earn money!
That's right, kids make money!
These underage children have been arranged by their parents to shoot various advertisements, walk in and out, enter and exit various agency companies and studios, and appear in a series of film and television dramas and movies since they were young. Obviously, the income these children earn goes into the wallets of their parents.
These parents don't work, so they count on their children to make money.
In the East, there is a noun-"gnaw the old".
In the West, there is a noun-"blood-sucking worm".
Blood-sucking worms refer specifically to adult parents who do not have a fixed job and use their children as a means of making a living!
"Kratty, you trash!"
"You are a child star who started shooting commercials at the age of 4, started acting at the age of 6, and has participated in 5 movies so far!"
"But what's the result? You were eliminated!"
"And it was eliminated in the first round!"
"You stupid fellow, do you know how much money your mother and I spent on training you? Every week, piano lessons, dance lessons, and acting lessons cost a lot of money!"
In a family in Los Angeles, a meticulously dressed and well-dressed 30-year-old man, who has no quality at the moment, scolded his own child.
Words...that's a terrible one!
The child was crying.
However, it was useless at all. His father was still cursing, with all kinds of ugly words.
"Mumba, stop scolding the child!"
The little boy’s mother walked over with an angry look and accused: “My son’s eyes are crying and swollen, how can I shoot an ad tomorrow? If he can’t make any money, you pay for the house loan and car loan!”
Dad Meng's mouth moved, and he didn't say anything anymore.
but.......
The little boy was completely desperate!
Although he is still young and lacks specific recognition and knowledge of society, there is one thing he is very sure that his own parents are very bad, it is simply terrible.
"I said it was their children, but they were more of a tool for making a living!"
Sad?
It's very sad!
However, there are many such family models in the United States. Not to mention everywhere, at least 500 such examples can be found in Los Angeles alone.
Of course, it is far more than this number.
These parents, hehe, are simply blood-sucking worms lying on their children!
You said, "Act on the Protection of Minor Children"?
Don't be kidding, there are too many such things, and the relevant departments can't manage it!
The famous children's film "Home Alone", in which the little boy Macaulay Culkin, starred in the protagonist, is a living example. For him, his parents used him as a tool for making a living and a cash machine.

20th Century Fox Pictures.
"The recent actions of Wald Pictures are really not small!"
"That's right!"
"Since the Oscars ceremony, their film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" broke the box office record of American foreign-language films, breaking the $100 million mark, which can be said to be in the limelight. What's next? Wald Business Day The youth performing arts department turned out! Tsk tusk tusk~ This is to grab the jobs of those brokerage companies!"
"We don't have anything to worry about, but it's just a little trouble."
"That's right, how much money can the brokerage company make?"
"Top companies in the brokerage industry, such as CAA and William Morris Brokerage, have a profit of up to 100 million U.S. dollars in a year, and they have to pay a lot of manpower and material resources. It's too much!"
"What's more, the agency type of Wald Pictures is just some young actors. For us, there is no threat."
"The one who should be worried is not us. But Disney! Disney likes to make money for children and minors!"
Wald Pictures established a youth performing arts department, which basically did not have any impact on the big business of 20th Century Fox Pictures.
Talking after a meal is over!
Economic business?
Hehe, these petty profits, the executives of the 20th Century Fox Pictures really look down on them.
Even Murdoch, who was the owner of 20th Century Fox Pictures, only curled his lips when he heard the news, and said with a smile: "Zuke, it's quite frustrating."
That's right!
In Murdoch's words, this is nothing more than children's play and toss, nothing more.
Brokerage business For these giant film companies, with this energy and financial resources, they can make more money by shooting a few movies!
.......
Disney Group.
Michael Eisner, the chairman of the group, couldn't help but speak out when he saw the news.
Eisner smiled at his subordinates and said: "The youth acting agency of the Disney Group, in order to cultivate a batch of traffic stars who can become youth idols, it took several years to achieve results. "
"And to grow to the point where it is today, it takes a lot of effort!"
"Warner, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Columbia, they are also powerful film companies, why don't they engage in these?"
"They can't help it!"
"They have also tried, but the results? All are not satisfactory, and even a loss!"
Eisner sneered: "I don’t deny Wald Pictures’ ability to make stars, but one thing I’m pretty sure of is that once the young actors who are trained, once they become famous, it won’t take long for them to change jobs. Well-known brokerage companies such as William Morris."
The brokerage industry in the American entertainment industry is so developed!
Famous actors are almost not tied to film companies. On the other hand, professional brokerage companies can get more rewards for them~www.wuxiaspot.com~teen idols, but it's just traffic. To put it bluntly, it is to make quick money. We are professional in this respect! "
Disney chairman Michael Eisner is not at all worried about Zucker's actions.
........
April 12.
Five days before the movie "Shark Beach" directed by Zach Schneider was released, Wald Pictures' youth performing arts department was officially established!
At the same time, the youth performing arts department of Wald Pictures officially changed its name to "Jade Bird Brokers" and became an independent subsidiary of Wald Pictures.
Of course, the original foundation of the new company Jade Bird Brokerage is itself a small well-known brokerage company, which has now been acquired by Wald Pictures.
The 10 selected young people in the first period also formally signed a contract and entered the Jade Bird Brokerage Company.
"" The second update is sent.
