Chapter 80: Fully prepare for "The Talent Show"
Los Angeles.
The first time Zucker returned to the company, Victor asked Christopher Nolan to sign three directorial contracts with Christopher Nolan and recommended him to be the director of "Fatal Turn 2".
Of course Nolan is very grateful for this.
Think about his predecessors. When they first arrived in Hollywood, how many of them were able to act as directors from the beginning?
Except for a very few people, many well-known Hollywood directors also started from small roles in the crew. A bitter daughter-in-law becomes a wife!
At the same time, Zhuke did not let go of the movie "Follow" that Nolan spent $6,000 to shoot.
spent 30,000 US dollars to purchase the full copyright.
"Boss, from my professional point of view, the box office expectations of the movie "Follow" will not be too good." Victor expressed objection to Zucker's actions.
won't the box office be too good?
Of course it will not be good!
In the original time and space history, the global box office of "Follow" is less than 300,000 US dollars.
Zhuke nodded: "Victor, the movie is not in a hurry. You arrange for someone to take it to the New York Film Festival and the San Francisco Film Festival to try the water. If the effect is not bad, just arrange it with our partner theaters. Small-scale releases. Then just go offline DVD sales. In short, we don’t expect much money from this movie."
"Okay, I see." Victor responded.
Zhuke won’t ask too much about the next specific operation. After all, Victor is professional in how to operate the movie.
For the movie "Follow", Zhu Ke's purpose is very clear.
don't expect any money from this film, mainly to win Nolan this person. Of course, after the establishment of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, the company has expanded its distribution network in several North American states. Zhu Ke is determined to let the employees of the company try more distribution methods, re-experience and practice again, and make a preview for future operation and release of high-cost blockbusters.
the next day.
Zhuke got up early, and then set off for the shooting scene of the "Human Removal Project".
When I arrived at the scene, the crew had not yet started filming. The producer of the film, Kevin Fitch, was discussing today's shooting plan with the director Zach. When he saw Zhu Ke arrive, Gu Shi stopped working and greeted him enthusiastically.
"How is it, did you bother you?"
"I brought you burgers."
Zhu Keyang raised the two big bags full of burgers in Yang's hands. Not only that, the bodyguards Sun Lei and Zhao Wushuang also had big bags in their hands, which contained a lot of burgers.
"Besides thanking, what else can we say?"
said with a smile.
Kevin Fitch, together with several deputy directors of the crew, expressed his gratitude.
"The boss personally came, it is already the greatest kindness." Kevin Fitch said.
Although Zhuke deducted a little bit, but it was not too much. The money that should be given has never been less, let alone delayed. Well, similar to the act of giving a hamburger to a small favor, Zhuke made it easy!
Montesquieu said: "The small details are often important in getting along with each other. Whether it is accidental or deliberate."
Zhu Ke absolutely agrees with this sentence.
In the following time, Zhu Ke, Zha Dao, and Feiqi exchanged some questions about the "Human Removal Project" and asked if they needed help.
Fitch said: "Boss, the filming is professional, and there is no big problem. The actors of the main crew are relatively low-known. In the early stage of publicity, if the group can give some support, it would be great."
"No problem, I will tell Victor to arrange it."
Zuke nodded: "Also, don't forget, I am a major shareholder of icq. I will contact icq to arrange a wave of pop-up advertisements for the "Human Removal Plan" at a very low internal price."
Icq?
Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch was overjoyed.
was able to get icq to arrange pop-up ads, which definitely exceeded his expectations.
You must know that in this era, if you don’t know icq, you will be out!
I have to say that after the A round of financing, several new shareholders of icq are indeed very powerful. Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other big companies only used part of their power to promote icq, allowing icq to achieve leap-forward development in just one month.
8 million registered users in North America and 4 million overseas users.
This is the current data of icq.
Under the understanding that the number of people on the Internet in the world can reach more than 300 million, icq can have 12 million users in a short period of time, which is already very remarkable. No, or it's not an exaggeration to describe it as stunning.
solved the problem of Kevin Fitch, and it didn't take long for it to be today's shooting time.
Zuke finally met the actors of the "Human Removal Project".
Okay, Zhuke doesn't know any of his mothers.
Of course, this did not affect the shooting and box office performance of "Human Removal Project". After all, the highlight of the film does not lie in the popularity of the actors, but mainly in the creativity of the film.
Otherwise, why do you think that 1/2/3/4 of the series are all different actors?
This film mainly tells that in 2022, due to the overpopulation of the earth, the American government has launched a plan to allow all criminal activities within 12 hours to reduce the number of humans. The ugliness of human nature, false faces, and all kinds of violent catharsis are the highlights of this film.
Every box office performance of this series of films is quite impressive.
The box office of the first movie was close to 100 million U.S. dollars in the world, and the next few films, despite the decline in word-of-mouth, all exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars.
"The box office does not seem to be high, not comparable to popular movies such as "Spider-Man", but it costs less!"
The average production cost of each film is at most 10 million U.S. dollars
There is no doubt that Wald Pictures, which owns the "Human Removal Project" series, will have difficulty in not wanting to grow in the next few years.
Zhu Ke is now the chairman of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, with a net worth of more than 200 million US dollars. While his career is rising, his work is getting busier and he can’t continue to spend the whole day in the crew like before.
Therefore, not being the producer of the film will be the norm in the future!
Of course, the producers of high-cost blockbuster films such as "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter", Zhu Ke will undoubtedly have to personally intervene, after all, the interests involved are too huge.
"I'm busy, maybe I'm waiting for my free time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I might be able to have the addiction of being a director again."
For a moment, Zhu Ke couldn't help but his mouth turned up slightly.
As the director of the film, although it is relatively tired, relatively speaking, it is not very profitable, but in the process of being the director, Zhu Ke is quite fulfilled.
"Even if time does not allow me to make feature films, I can make short films!"
"For example, "Blind Tuner" is perfectly fine!"
There is no doubt that "The Blind Tuner" is a boutique among short films, not to mention the popularity in overseas countries, even in the Great Heaven, many netizens are amazed and sought after.
...
...
In the next few days, Zhuke basically soaked in the work of UPN TV network.
The production of "America's Got Talent" has become the top priority of Zhu Ke's work.
As for the little wizard who just got the copyright, Zhu Ke did not rush to promote it, but only carried out a small promotion on the Amazon mall. Perhaps, after a while, arrange for someone to contact book sales giants such as Penguin Bookstore and Random Bookstore for further promotion.
"Donna, you are in charge of the production of the "Go Talent" project, I'll contact the judges, ok?" Zhu Ke said.
"No problem, boss!"
Donna replied very simply, but she knew that Zhu Ke attached great importance to this project. Well, in other words, you must do your best!
Can Zhu Ke not pay attention to this project?
You should know that in 2007, Fox TV paid a copyright price of US$70 million in order to obtain the North American production copyright of "The Got Talent", which did not count as the advertising share of the British company.
The second update of "" is sent.
