Chapter 533: Young Directors Exchange Meeting
"Hollywood starts with animation novel cool notes ( to find the latest chapter!
A few days later.
Zhu Ke, who was still on vacation, accepted an invitation to participate in an event called the Young Directors Exchange.
In recent days, Zhu Ke, who was a little tired, refused to participate in this event at first.
How can I not hold up James Cameron’s repeated invitations!
That's right, the initiator of this young director exchange event is indeed James Cameron, the internationally renowned director who made "Titanic"!
"Boss, I just got the list of people attending this event from the organizer. However, as far as I know, half of the people on the invited list will not be able to come."
When the convoy was about to arrive at the venue, Alexander explained the situation to Zucker.
Half of the invitees are not coming?
Zhuke nodded: "Actually, it is understandable. After all, it is the best summer vacation at the end of May."
In late May, almost all major Hollywood production companies and distribution companies, including well-known directors, were at the busiest time of the year.
Take over the list.
Before Zhu Ke got off the bus, he first looked at the list of invited guests in the bus.
Leon Reeves;
Herat Anderson;
K·J·Edward;
......
Lawrence M. White;
Zhu Ke read several pages of the information of the invited guests, and was awakened to discover the fact that Zhu Ke almost didn't know the young directors on this list.
"This, this, these people...who are they?"
Zhu Ke really doesn't know or understand this group of young directors.
Alexander said: "Boss, James Cameron initiated this young director exchange meeting. After all, it is a young director. You don't know it. It is normal."
Zhu Ke rolled his eyes: "Do you know him?"
"Ha ha!"
Alexander smiled: "Boss, I did some homework before I came here. Of course, if I didn't prepare lessons, I don't know many of them."
After all, he is just Zhu Ke's assistant. If he were replaced by executives in the production department of Wald Pictures, he would probably be able to name the young directors on the list one by one.
Nothing specializes in the surgery industry.
"what?"
Zhuke turned a few pages of information again, and in the last few pages, he saw the names of familiar people.
"On this list, there is finally a director I know."
【File: 009】
Name: Gus Van Sant.
Sex: Male.
Age: 49 years old.
Occupation: Film director.
Masterpieces: "Deep Night, Hard to Sing Love", "Uninhibited Sky", "Mind Catcher", "Looking for Frost"...
"So it's him~"
""Deep Night, Love Is Hard to Sing" is Gus Van Sant's personal film debut, and it is said that it is also the world's first movie reflecting the theme of same-sex love."
"Of course, his most well-known movie "Elephant" has not yet been shot, otherwise his reputation will surely rise to the next level."
In 2003, the film "Elephant" directed by Gus Van Sant won the Best Director Award at the 56th Cannes Film Festival in one fell swoop. The film's box office performance was also impressive.
...
【File: 015】
Name: Pedro Almodova (Spain).
Sex: Male.
Age: 52 years old.
Occupation: Film director.
Masterpieces: "Tie Me, Tie Me", "Living Color and Fragrance"...
"Hiss~"
"Fuck, it's this guy?!"
Zhu Ke was slightly surprised.
It's not because of how good the director Pedro Almodovar is, but because of the series of films he directed, which is of a large scale, which is a feast for the eyes.
For example, the two films "Tie Me, Tie Me" and "Life and Scent", in many countries, are too large to enter the theater market.
Banned, properly banned! Tomb Novel Network
Pedro Almodovar himself has been hailed by many as the "first director of a banned film."
...
【File: 027】
Name: Len Wiseman.
Sex: Male.
Age: 28 years old.
Occupation: Film and television editor.
Masterpieces: "Independence Day", "Men in Black", "Godzilla"...
Evaluation: As a professional director, he did not enter Hollywood as a director in the first step, but as a film editor, becoming an experienced filmmaker.
"Len Wiseman? A familiar name."
"what?!"
"I remember!!!"
"It turned out to be him! Len Wiseman, the man who created the "Underworld" series of movies!"
"Underworld" series of movies, looking at the entire Hollywood classic series, it is nothing, after all, it is comparable to the "Back to the Future" trilogy, the "The Matrix" trilogy, and the "Batman" trilogy. Wait for the movie, it's really nothing remarkable.
However, the "Underworld" series of movies has left a deep impression on Zhu Ke since its birth.
The war between werewolves and vampires, the heroine played by Kate Beckinsale, a black trench coat, dark Gothic style...
These scenes, Zhu Ke traveled through to the present, vividly remembered.
Although the box office of each of the "Underworld" series of movies is not particularly big-selling or hot, but it can't stand the low cost of a single movie, and it can bring very considerable returns to the production company.
"Underworld 1" has a production cost of US$17 million and a global box office of US$97 million;
"Underworld 2" has a production cost of US$21 million and a global box office of US$120 million;
The production cost of "Underworld 3" is 29 million US dollars, and the global box office is 135 million US dollars;
"Underworld: Werewolf Prequel", its global box office exceeded 360 million US dollars;
Every movie in the series makes money!
In particular, the sales and leasing of DVDs and video tapes in the offline market are not low.
Zhuke was greedy.
"Nowadays, colleagues in the Hollywood industry define Len Wiseman as a film and television editor, not a director. In that case, we can work together."
......
After half an hour.
Zhuke's motorcade arrived at the Pasha Hotel, where the event was held.
Pasha Hotel?
Well, it is also an industry under Zucker's name.
Zhuke's hotel industry has just started, with only 3 hotels in the United States. One is in downtown Los Angeles, one is in the Zhuke 1 shooting base in Burbank, and the last one is in New York.
"Hi, Zhuke, my friend, you are welcome."
As soon as Zhu Ke arrived at the venue, he was warmly welcomed by the event promoter and well-known director James Cameron.
"My friend, I'm quite interesting. Knowing that you are too troublesome and don't like to participate in such activities, I specially placed the venue in the Pasha Hotel under your name. How about? Do you think I am very careful and considerate?" Card Mellon laughed.
Zhuke couldn't help but smile: "I said, old man, you are paying attention, I know, but you don't have to say it, it seems you are too fake."
Cameron laughed and didn't care.
Step into the hotel.
Not long after, the group came to the twelfth floor of the hotel, um, which is the venue for this young director exchange event.
"Zuke, long time no see."
Xie Yi, the owner of New Line Pictures, walked over with a smile on his face.
Behind him was a middle-aged man with a big beard.
Shay introduced: "Zuke, let me introduce you. This is the director Peter Jackson from New Zealand. He is..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ke interrupted: "I know, he is the director of "Lord of the Rings"."
"You know?" Shay was a little surprised at once~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Director Peter Jackson was also a little confused. After all, he is not well-known in Hollywood at all, and he is no worse than those fledgling new directors. How many.
At this time, the movie "Lord of the Rings" has not yet been released.
But...Zuke knows him!
Before long, Peter Jackson's fame will resound all over the world and become the most famous international director.
Once the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy comes out, who does not know the king? !
In the future, he will film the "The Hobbit" movie series, which is also a global big seller.
