Chapter 521: The king of horror films: I want to be a director!
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
A few days later.
The post editing room of Wald Pictures.
As the producer and director of the movie "Burst Drummer", Zhu Ke's recent mood can be described as very wonderful.
On the one hand: After the film "Burst Drummer" was successfully rough-cut, the fine-cutting process was also very smooth, and the overall work was carried out in an orderly manner. It is expected that all the post-production work will be completed in mid-June;
On the other hand: "Spider-Man" DVDs and video tapes are selling well!
After the first day sales exceeded 650,000 DVD discs and 490,000 cassettes of video tapes, in the next few days, "Spiderman" movies continued to sell well in the offline market.
510,000 DVDs and 380,000 cassettes of video tapes;
420,000 DVD discs and 350,000 video tapes;
......
In one week in a row, the cumulative sales of "Spider-Man" DVD discs exceeded 2.9 million, and the sales of video tapes reached 2.45 million boxes;
20 million U.S. dollars in publicity funds have created such an astonishing income in a period of time. If you say so, Wald Pictures will start to make a lot of money again.
According to the data report given by Taro Hashimoto, President of the Home Entertainment Department of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, it is known that: "From the first release date of May 15th to the end of May, the "Spiderman" movie is expected to bring the company US$12 million profit."
"It is estimated that by the end of 2001, its final overall income will not be less than 40 million U.S. dollars."
The benefits are amazing!
Especially this part of the income, but all belong to the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
You said, "Spider-Man" other investors?
Hehe~
Sorry, the income of the offline market has nothing to do with the investors and investment institutions of the "Spider-Man" movie.
Don't say that Zhu Ke's heart is black, this is how the contract was signed!
Similarly, the income of the offline film market, the income of TV broadcasting expenses, the income of peripheral product operations, etc., add up to not inferior to the income of the box office market, or even higher. However, generally speaking, investors outside of Hollywood hardly enjoy this benefit.
It's not that Zhu Ke's heart is black, but the whole industry is like this!
"James Win, the editing style of the latter part of "Burst Drummer", I hope to be more aggressive, deepen the conflict between the male protagonist Andrew and the devil tutor Fletcher, so that the audience can more clearly understand the paranoia and madness between the two, and There are many contradictions."
Zhuke said in the editing room.
Hearing that, James Wen (Wen Ziren), who is the associate director of the film, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Wald."
At the same time, James Wyn also made a lot of good suggestions throughout the editing process.
As long as it is reasonable and reasonable, Zhu Ke will generally follow his advice.
Zhuke has never denied James Wen's talent in director, and he appreciates it accordingly.
"Chain Saw", "Fast and Furious 7", "Aquaman"...
These future famous movies are all made by James Wynn, who has the "King of Hollywood Horror Movies".
咚咚咚~
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
The door of the editing room was pushed open.
The chief assistant Alexander walked in.
"Boss, this is the latest data from last weekend's North American movie box office rankings." Alexander handed Zhuke a data report.
"Oh?"
Zhu Ke immediately took it, and he was eager to know the box office of the movie "Shrek" produced by DreamWorks.
[33.05 million U.S. dollars! 】
As of now, on May 18, well, the animated film Shrek, which was released on Friday, won the North American box office for three days last weekend, reaching 33.05 million US dollars.
Ranked No.1 in the North American movie box office rankings last weekend.
However, the position of No. 1 in "Shrek" was very unstable.
Immediately afterwards, the film ranked No. 2 was "Tomb Raider", which was released for ten days. Last weekend, it received another $29 million at the box office for three days.
The difference in box office data between the two is only more than 4 million U.S. dollars.
The movie "Shark Beach", which was released in mid-April and produced by Wald Pictures, was released for nearly 40 days. This weekend, the box office increased by 1.2 million US dollars in three days this weekend, and the cumulative North American box office exceeded 83 million US dollars. The ten-thousand-dollar mark is striding forward.
The production cost of the "Shark Beach" movie is only 12 million U.S. dollars, which is a medium and low-cost film investment. The North American box office of nearly 90 million U.S. dollars is already a pretty remarkable box office result.
On the other hand, DreamWorks Group is relatively... sad!
The production cost of the movie "Shrek" is as high as 75 million US dollars, plus various publicity costs, labor costs, copy costs...
The overall investment in "Shrek" is not less than 100 million U.S. dollars.
However, the three-day box office data for the first weekend was only 33.05 million U.S. dollars!
Not low~
However, it is far below DreamWorks' expectations!
"Extremely hateful!"
"Everything, that guy Zhuke Wald is to blame!"
"If it weren't for him, the DVD and videotape of the "Spider-Man" movie broke the first daily sales record in the offline market and robbed a lot of heat, then the box office of "Shrek" in the first weekend of three days, It will definitely not be less than 40 million U.S. dollars!"
Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of DreamWorks Animation, is full of grievances.
They are all grown-ups, so how can there be so much love, hatred, and enmity, everything is entangled in interests.
"Hehe~"
Zhu Ke looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help secretly: "In the original time and space, the box office of the "Shrek" animation film exceeded 42 million U.S. dollars in the first three days of the weekend. But now? Only 33.05 million U.S. dollars. "
"A total of 9 million dollars less!"
"Tsk tusk~, one word-cool!"
Katzenberg was full of resentment towards Zhuke; Zhuke was very upset with Katzenberg, and his mother was very upset with him, trying to make him feel bad.
Naive?
He is very naive, and he loves to hold grudges, but who makes a man a teenager until he dies?
Two hours later...
It's time for a break at noon.
"James Win, and the big guys, let's take a break. The work of "Burst Drummer" is not in a hurry." Zhuke clapped his hands and said.
Hearing that, everyone stopped working, but they all shouted that they were not tired.
"Can you say tired? But no one dares!" an editor muttered.
Isn't it?
In the face of Zhu Ke, the big guy, everyone present was too late to behave eagerly, how could they complain and feel tired?
Break time.
James Wynn came to Zhuke.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Ke was surprised.
James Wynn nodded, then adjusted his mentality, and solemnly said: "Mr. Wald, Ray Warner and I have written a script together recently. I would like to invite your palm."
"no problem."
Zhuke promised in one gulp: "Anyway, I will be in the editing room recently. You can bring the script over at any time. Of course, even if I'm not in the editing room, you can come to my house to find me. Well, you know my address. ."
Hearing that, James Wen is overjoyed.
As soon as the conversation turned, he said nervously: "Mr. Wald, if the company adopts this script, then I hope I will become the director of this film myself."
He recommended himself to be a director~www.wuxiaspot.com~ For a young director, facing Zhu Ke, he is undoubtedly full of courage at this moment.
Ponder~
Zhu Ke finally said: "As long as the script is OK, then I will give you a chance to be a director!"
accepted!
Of course you have to agree!
In a few words, Zhuke has already understood that the film that James Wynn and Ray Warnall is writing is called "Cry of the Chainsaw".
"Saw Horror" series of movies, classic movie series of horror/thriller theme
The global box office of each movie in the series is no less than 100 million U.S. dollars.
Just ask, how could Zhu Ke refuse?
