Chapter 571: Sorrows from all sides
"Hollywood starts with animation ( to find the latest chapters!
New Line Pictures.
Today, in the movie theater inside Xinxian Pictures, there are a large number of people in charge of North American cinema chains, with more than 30 people. Similarly, Hollywood’s major film companies have also sent many representatives.
All in all, because today is the trial film of "Lord of the Rings 1".
Zhu Ke is also on the invited list.
"Boss, Mr. Wald is sure to be there?"
New Line Films Distribution Director Modo asked: "As far as I know, Mr. Wald’s films produced by Wald Films are almost unsuccessful, but for other film companies’ works, he has been very good in the past two years. Few attendance."
Hearing this, Shay immediately believed in himself: "He will definitely come!"
Modo: "..."
To be honest, Modo has some doubts.
Several senior executives in Xin Xian Film Industry do not know where their bosses are confident.
In the past two years, except for some necessary occasions, Zhu Ke has rarely participated in the activities of other companies, and he is very low-key.
but!
This time, Shay was right!
Zhuke really came, and he came with Pixar Animation's John Lasseter.
"Hi, Shay, am I not late?" Zhuke greeted.
"Whether it's late or not, you can come here because of your greatest support for me and the movie "Lord of the Rings"!" Shay's mouth was full of joy.
Zhuke's arrival, he Shay is naturally quite excited.
Although Xin Xian Films is within the scope of Hollywood, although it is also very powerful, and it is backed by the Disney Group, its strength is the envy of many peers, but in the face of Zhu Ke, he has never dare to entrust it.
Money determines status, status determines the right to speak~
After a simple greeting, Zhuke and Lasseter entered the venue.
"Boss, you really know everything!"
The director of the publishing department, Modo, said in surprise: "You said Mr. Wald will definitely come. No, he really came today!"
Immediately afterwards, Eric, the director of the News Department of New Line Pictures, echoed: "In July this year, Universal Pictures invited Mr. Wald to attend the premiere of the movie "Jurassic Park 3". He didn't even go. However, our company’s film is only a trial film, not a premiere. He is here, which shows that the boss’s face is big enough."
A line of flattery made Shay very useful.
but......
"Fart! I don't have that much face."
Shay said in a quiet tone: "If Zhu Ke is not the major shareholder and chairman of Weta Digital, do you think he will come? He is not giving me face, but looking at the face of money."
Modo: "..."
Eric: "..."
The position of the movie "Lord of the Rings" in film history does not need to be narrated. It is definitely the most majestic movie in the early 21st century!
The computer special effects in the "Lord of the Rings" movie were undertaken by New Zealand's Weta Digital.
As the major shareholder of Weta Digital, Zhuke will naturally come to join us for his own Weta Digital. Everything is looking at interest!
......
"Mr. Wald!"
"Mr. Lasseter!"
...
Zhuke and Lasseter were warmly welcomed as soon as they entered the venue.
No way, this is the card face.
Zhu Ke, the proper entertainment media tycoon in Hollywood today, holds huge amounts of funds, and is naturally the object of the cinema players who are vying to please;
John Lasseter, who came with him, was also full of cards.
The first of the five Pixar generals;
Shareholders of Pixar Animation;
The top animation producers and directors in the United States and even the world;
Created the "Toy Story" series of animated films in one hand;
Jobs' right-hand man;
Picking up any name at random can make him a popular person by all parties.
The representative of AMC Cinemas, one of the three major theaters in North America, said: "Mr. Wald, I can read the news from the last two days. Good guy, three first-line Class A commercial productions have been launched in a row. !"
"Then you need to say..."
Emperor Entertainment, which is also one of the three major theaters in North America, said its theater representative: "As far as this year is concerned, when it comes to movie investment, Mr. Wald is definitely the first one, even the six major Hollywood theaters. Not as good."
Ximanke, one of the three major theaters, is also not to be outdone.
"Mr. Wald, we Ximanke and Wald Pictures are old friends. "Spider-Man 2" and "Harry Potter" have been established. I won't say much, but the "Pirates of the Caribbean" has just been prepared. ", you can’t forget that we Ximanke, we want to participate in investment."
Many people have already targeted the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie with a total production cost of 140 million U.S. dollars.
Especially in terms of film investment!
Once upon a time, Ximanke participated in the investment in the movie "Spider-Man", which was definitely a fortune.
Who is not envious of other colleagues?
Zhuke smiled, and the visitors said without refusal: "As long as you are willing to invest, I am definitely welcome with your hands. If you are interested, you can go directly to Kevin Fitch. I believe our cooperation will continue to be happy. ."
"sure!"
The representative of Ximanke Cinema is a proud one.
The representatives of the AMC Cinemas and the Emperor Entertainment Cinemas, including the straps of other small and medium-sized cinemas, are naturally a bit tasteful, and they also want to get a share of the pie.
Who is not interested in profitable projects?
So it was obviously a trial meeting for the movie "Lord of the Rings", but Zhu Ke became the most popular person in the audience today!
"Zuke, you guy~ wherever you go, it's the **** focus!"
John Lasseter said.
Zhuke shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "What can I do? Hey, my charm that is nowhere to be placed~"
"fart!"
Lasseter unceremoniously dismantled the stage: "If it hadn't been for a few days ago, Wald Pictures officials had announced that "Spider-Man 2," "Harry Potter 2", and "Pirates of the Caribbean" had a total investment of 450 million U.S. dollars. Do you think you will have that great charm?"
Zhu Ke was demolished ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and didn't mind at all.
"I also said that I am a good friend, and it doesn't give me face at all." Zhu Ke curled his lips.
"Mr. Wald, good evening! This is James Jacks, a producer from Universal Pictures."
At this moment, another middle-aged man came over.
Zhu Ke frowned slightly.
Lasseter gloated on the sidelines and whispered: "The road to Yuanjia is narrow."
James Jacks, is a senior producer of Universal Pictures, his representative works include the "Mummy" series, "Scorpion King" and so on.
Looking at the entire Hollywood, he is also one of the top batch of producers.
In North America, filmmakers are at the forefront of the industry chain, and directors have far less rights than filmmakers, except for a few big directors.
"Since that incident last time, I wanted to have a good chat with Mr. Wald. After all, I think there may be some misunderstandings between us."
Jacks looked at Zhuke sincerely.
However..... Zhu Ke was disgusted.
Zhu Ke said disgustingly: "His Boulder Johnson was dug directly by you, and now you still say what misunderstandings are not misunderstood, is it interesting?"
"Mr. Wald, I think..."
"Stop! Stop it! If you are the chairman of the Vivendi Group, even if you are the CEO of Universal Pictures, I can talk to you, but... you are not!"
In a word, Zhuke didn't look down on James Jacks.
Even if Jacks is a top producer, he is not qualified to have an equal dialogue with Zhu Ke.
Imaginary and appointing snakes, acting on the spot...
That also requires equality between the two parties, right?
"" The first update is sent.
