Chapter 70: "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"

the next day.

Wald Pictures.

The director of "Fruit Hard Candy", Zach Schneider, received Zhuke's invitation and once again came to Wald Pictures.

"Hi, Zach, my friend, welcome you here."

As soon as he saw him, Zhuke immediately gave him a bear hug.

For Zach Schneider, Zhuke still gave considerable respect. Dude, after all, that was the director who filmed "Superman: Man of Steel" and "Spartan 300" in the future!

"Man, how are you doing? I heard that some time ago, many film companies approached you as a film director."

Zhuke smiled and patted Zac on the shoulder. After speaking, he pressed him on the sofa involuntarily, and made him a cup of coffee himself.

Zach shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wald, I..."

"Call me Zhuke, I have said it several times, but we are friends, we don't need those honorifics." Zhuke interrupted him.

Hearing that, Zach, who has been on the MV set for a long time, is also very moved.

My real friend!

Zach said: "Well, Zhuke. Since the release of "Fruit Candies", many film companies have indeed approached me to shoot new films, but those scripts were useless, and I couldn't be interested in filming at all, and The highest cost of the film I shot was less than US$1 million. They came with a lottery mentality. How could I accept it?"

Zhuke nodded.

The coaching he is familiar with still has something to pursue.

Although the box office of "Fruit Candies" is not high, only more than 5 million US dollars, but because of the low cost, Wald Pictures still made some money.

Well, not much, and the money made is only 1.5 million U.S. dollars.

1.5 million dollars!

Well, people are profit-driven existence.

This number, in the eyes of many large and medium-sized Hollywood companies, is nothing at all, and it's not a fraction of a fraction. However, for many inferior companies, it is definitely worth their one-year or even two-year profit.

"Man, would you like to read this comic?"

Zhuke saw that it was almost done, so he threw a sweetness to him.

""300"?"

"Uh, it's still an illustrated comic. It turned out to be the work of comic master Frank Miller."

Zach, who was talking to himself, quickly finished reading the "300" comics, mainly because the content of the comics was not much.

However, this also aroused his interest.

He decided to watch it a second time!

Because he has good drawing skills, he is deeply influenced by his parents, and has also studied art painting, so he especially likes manga-type works.

Throughout his future films, he is always full of personal creations such as slow motion, dark colors, exaggerated violent presentations and so on.

It is precisely because of these unique aesthetics and opinions that his works are subject to polarized evaluation.

For example: "Superman: Body of Steel".

The tones of his works are thick and dark, just like deep oil paintings, especially when applied to comic adaptations, giving them a sense of seriousness. The "300 Spartan Warriors" shot by him is a typical representative.

"awesome!"

After watching the "300" comics, Director Zha became excited and surging: "Leonida, the king of Sparta, he is definitely a hero in my mind. Zhuke, are you Wald Pictures? Do you want to adapt this comic?"

"Yes. In fact, half a month ago, we had bought a series of copyrights for the film and television rights of "300" and the surroundings of the film from Frank Miller."

Zhu Ke answered truthfully.

After all, there is nothing to hide.

"Yes! Mr. Wald...Oh, Zhuke, please be sure to give me the film adapted from this comic. For this reason, I can waive the cost of being a film director."

Zach stared at Zhu Ke scorchingly. He was extremely excited at first, but now he became extremely solemn.

He loves "300" so much.

As for giving up the director's fee?

Give up and give up!

He firmly believes that he can quickly become famous through the shooting of "300". After that, is he afraid that he will not be able to mix himself in Hollywood?

"Zach, I want you to watch this comic. As for the director, do you think I will choose other people? As for the director's fee, do you think I will be stingy with a friend?"

Zhuke waved his hand.

Hearing this, Zach bowed to Zhuke: "Thank you very much!"

"Oh, my heart!"

Zhu Ke couldn't help but move in his heart.

In fact, just now when I heard that Dao Zha was willing to give up the director's fee, Zhu Ke almost blurted out and agreed. After all, he insisted on the idea that saving a fortune is a fortune.

However, this is completely the act of killing chickens and getting eggs!

People, many people are entangled because of their interests, but also parted ways because of their interests, and even turned against each other.

In this situation, Zhuke has seen too much in his two lifetimes.

It's not advisable to kill chickens to get eggs for the tiny director's expense.

"Zach, this is a script adapted from "300", you can watch it slowly later." Zhuke said.

"Okay, I will definitely watch it seriously." Zach nodded.

Zhu Ke said suddenly: "The film director has decided to be you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but I have one thing to say before, that is, this "300" movie will not be shot in the near future."

"Uh..." Zach was stunned.

"Don't ask the reason, the reason is because its production cost is too high."

Zhu Ke explained: "I have discussed with Victor and the people in the production department several times and found that to show the battle at Hot Springs in a more complete way, the filming cost of the whole film needs at least 60 million U.S. dollars."

60 million dollars? !

Well, the cost is much higher than the cost of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" that Wald Pictures will prepare soon.

Lead guide: "........"

What can he say now?

Do you just bite the bullet and say to Zhu Ke: Hurry up and get the money out and let me shoot? !

As long as it is a normal-headed person, he will never say this sentence.

However, at this moment, after learning that he could not immediately prepare for "300", he still couldn't help but feel lost.

"Hahaha~"

Seeing Zha Dao's loss, Zhu Ke couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be too anxious. I let you wait, not three or five years.

"10 months!"

"This is a promise I made to you!"

"After 10 months, all the funds for the filming of the film "300" will be credited to a dedicated account for you to shoot the film."
