, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
May 3rd.
The film "Tomb Raider", co-produced by Paramount Pictures and Wald Pictures, was officially held at the Wong Sands Theater in Los Angeles with a grand premiere.
The invited guests are all Hollywood bigwigs.
"Hey, Zhuke, as the producer of "Tomb Raider", you are only present now. To be honest, you are a disqualified producer!" Jordan said.
Well, it's not Jordan who plays basketball!
Jordan Riggs, the senior vice president of Paramount Pictures, is an old friend Zhu Ke has known for many years.
After Zhuke entered Hollywood, he directed his first solo film and also the first film "Running Laura" produced by Wald Pictures. It was Jordan who represented Paramount Pictures and brought it to the overseas film market.
The selling price is 1.2 million U.S. dollars.
The movie "Run Lola" alone in the European market, achieved more than 100 million US dollars in box office results, Paramount made a lot of money.
For a long time, Zhu Ke and Jordan have maintained a good personal relationship.
"Zuke, I heard that you made another movie recently, or are you acting as the director yourself?" Jordan asked.
"Ha ha!"
Zhuke looked at him and said with a smile: "I heard? I said, man, why should I hear? You are not very sure."
Hollywood says it's big and big, but it's small and very small.
For now, there are hundreds of film companies in Hollywood, big and small, who didn't know that Zhu Kezhi directed the movie "Burst Drummer"?
Moreover, they also accurately learned that Zhuke was over!
It takes a short 15-day shooting cycle.
Jordan smirked and said, "But you are still amazing! You can invite Bob Dylan to participate in the composition of a music film with a small cost of 3 million dollars. Good guys, you have to know that Christmas last year. At that time, the White House invited him to participate, but he refused all at once."
Bob Dylan?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke smiled triumphantly.
No way, the Lord is so face-saving.
"what?"
At this moment, Zhuke suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Zhuke saw an old acquaintance!
An old acquaintance who used to play Zhuke!
-Jeffrey Katzenberg!
He is the world's leading animation master. He was once the chief person in charge of Disney Animation. He joined Spielberg and David Geffen to create the world-famous DreamWorks.
"Shrek", "Madagascar", "Kung Fu Panda", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Crazy Primitive"...
These well-known animated films are all created by Jeffrey Katzenberg, or he is involved.
"Zuke... I didn't expect it to be you."
At this moment, when Katzenberg saw Zhuke, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and his eyes were a little dodging.
Zhuke sneered: "What? I can't come if you can? Don't forget, I am the first producer of "Tomb Raider", Jeffery!"
"You can come! Of course you can, my dearest friend." Katzenberg let out a hearty laugh to hide his embarrassment.
"Friend? I don't deserve to be your friend of DreamWorks animation director Jeffrey Katzenberg!" Zhu Ke sneered.
The relationship between the two is not very good!
To be precise, Zhuke and Katzenberg used to get along well for a while, and the relationship was good. But later, Katzenberg played Zhuke.
At the beginning of 2000, DreamWorks Animation was squeezed out and suppressed by the six major Hollywood companies, and was in a critical moment of being madly targeted. The animated film "Brave to the Golden City", which was released, has a production cost of 70 million US dollars, a publicity fee of more than 20 million US dollars, and a total investment of 100 million US dollars.
But, the result?
The global box office of "Brave to the Golden City" was only more than 73 million US dollars.
DreamWorks Animation, blood loss!
And a few months later, another animated film "Little Chicken Run" from DreamWorks is about to be released. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, Katzenberg personally met with Zhuke for help.
Zhuke agreed!
"Thank you so much, my best friend."
"I thank you!"
"The distribution contract signed by DreamWorks Animation and Paramount is about to expire. If you wish, all overseas distribution of DreamWorks Animation films will be entrusted to you."
"Well, you can sign the contract directly."
This was Katzenberg's promise at the time.
But the result? !
Zhuke sold a great deal, but... Katzenberg turned around and abandoned Zhuke, choosing to continue working with Paramount.
Zhuke was fooled so badly!
"All right, Katzenberg. Although we are not friends, we are not enemies either." Zhuke waved his hand, not wanting to chat with him.
See you when you look up~
If it weren't for today's premiere of "Tomb Raider", Zucker, as the half owner, would really not want to talk to him.
"No wonder Mel Gibson scolded the Jews later. He Katzenberg was an ungrateful person, very cunning." Zhuke secretly said in his heart.
Katzenberg was said by Zucker, almost sneered at his nose, but his face was still full of smiles.
Amazing!
Just this look of honor and disgrace, he Katzenberg is destined to be extraordinary.
Zhu Ke has not been able to do this kind of self-cultivation!
Zhuke looked at the back of Katzenberg's departure, and couldn't help but say: "Jordan, you guys are making a lot of money. Katzenberg is an ordinary character, but he has no ability to say it. May 18th, produced by DreamWorks Animation. "Shrek" will be released soon, I am optimistic about it, and the box office is estimated to be quite good."
"DreamWorks Animation is about to rise!"
"You Paramount undertook the overseas release of "Shrek", and you have to make a lot of money too!"
In his words, Zhu Ke showed a trace of envy.
Man, "Shrek"!
The "Shrek" trilogy is really a classic of animated movies. It sells at the box office and the peripheral products are quite good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, I am not a vegetarian either. In the original time and space, "Kung Fu Panda" belonged to DreamWorks, but now, it belongs to me! "Zuke feels very enjoyable.
