Chapter 30

5 May 1996.

Up to now, "Lola Run" has been on the North American Academy for one month, with a total box office of 15.375 million US dollars. Although cinema films in North America were basically long-term screened in the 1990s, as long as there were people watching them, they would last for two or three months in remote areas, but we can't expect to reap many dollars.

16 million dollars, which is basically the final box office of "Lola Run" in North America.

As a result, some big Hollywood companies with overseas distribution qualifications took the initiative to contact Wald pictures to purchase overseas copyrights.

However, their offer is too low.

It's not at all to Zucker's satisfaction.

"Mr. Wald, you have to understand that, generally speaking, the overseas box office results are 1.5 times that of North America. According to the North American results of" Lola Run ", the overseas box office is at most 24 million US dollars. We paramount have to pay a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, the copyright fee of 2 million US dollars is a very sincere price."

The person who said this was a contact in Paramount's Distribution Department.

In fact, according to the truth, this price is indeed in line with the law of the market.

However, others don't know the overseas prospect of Lola Run. However, Zucker is a passer-by. He knows that "Lola Run" has made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office overseas. Even if "Lola Run" does not have the same bonus as the original time and space, the overseas box office may not reach 100 million US dollars, but even if the discount is 50 million US dollars.

If we sell it for $2 million now, how can Zhuke be reconciled.

As for the idea of overseas box office, don't even think about it! When you are a big company, you are a public welfare organization!

"Thanks for Paramount's sincerity, but we need to think about it. I hope you understand." CEO Victor declined.

Wen Yan, Paramount's contact regretted: "well, if your company has considered it, please contact me."

Business can't be done, benevolence and righteousness are in it!

I have to say that this paramount's contact really has two brushes.

There is not the slightest arrogance of a big company in the words. On the contrary, the words make people feel like a spring breeze.

"Boss, see? This is the inside story of a large company. Any contact person in its Distribution Department is a rare talent in Hollywood. Any small company can serve as CEO. " Said Victor.

Zucker nodded.

Talent!

The talent reserve of big companies is really terrible!

It's hard for Zhuke to accept the $2 million overseas copyright fee, but he can't do anything about it.

There is no overseas distribution network at home!

Oh, no, even in North America, Wald doesn't have a complete distribution network. Now it can only affect one state in California.

Immediately, Zhuke gritted his teeth: "Victor, I'll inject another $3 million into the company later, including the first box office share from the cinema. You can use it all to build the distribution network in North America, whether you buy other companies or set up your own. I don't look at the process, I just want the result. "

"All right."

Victor nodded solemnly.

Without a complete distribution network, Wald film will always be at the bottom of Hollywood's food chain, belonging to the existence of being exploited. For example, for large companies, even if their films are at a loss every year, due to the improvement of the distribution network, they can exploit a lot of interests from small and medium-sized companies every year.

Big companies with strong distribution capacity are at the top of the food chain!

The overseas copyright of "Lola Run" is only $2 million?

Zhu Ke clenched his teeth and sold it!

Not only that, Zhuke also sold the DVD, video, TV station broadcast, peripheral license and other copyrights of "Lola Run". 4.5 million dollars.

Compared with its shooting cost of only $800000, Wald pictures has made a lot of money!

.......

The shooting scene of the movie hard candy.

"All departments prepare ~!"

I have to say that Zach Schneider, a new film director, even though he didn't have the deep directing skills when he was shooting Superman: the body of steel, he also had a great directing skill. He started shooting the high tide part of the film as soon as he started.

In his words: "at the beginning of the film, both the actors and the crew needed to break in because of the strangeness, but they were in the most exciting stage. Even the high tide part could be shot well, so it was very easy to shoot next."

Zucker also sat by, staring at the monitor in front of Zac.

“please，please~！”

Hulk, who plays the perverted hero, oh no, it's mark rufaro. Now he's tied up in a cot, his pants are taken off, and he sits in a key position covered with ice.

He was in a cold sweat all over his body, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.

This is castration!

On the other hand, Haili, the heroine in a medical suit, is a young black widow with an indifferent and innocent face.

While holding the scalpel, he said, "I asked my friend if she wanted to Castrate a man. She made a disgusting sound, as if she wanted her to swallow worms. Well, maybe you'll feel torn, because I'll tie it up a little bit, OK? So bear with it. "

"Well, half done, victory in sight."

"Don't faint. Don't faint. There's no problem."

"Jeff, do you know that some men, even though they have only one egg in their life, have a good life, don't they? Of course, I heard about it. Anyway, I think it's right. Well, if I leave you an egg, I won't punish you. Don't faint. Don't faint. Jeff, I'll be fine soon. But if I leave you an egg, you can't walk straight, can you? "

"You will soon enter a whole new world."

"Cut, OK, well, it's a very easy operation, so I think why girls should learn camping, buying biscuits and so on. I say this is a useful skill. In the next eight or nine days, you will face unprecedented pain. Oh, you may have to take out your own stitches. After all, you don't want to lose face in front of others. Oh, I'll introduce you to a website, castration Q & A, which has what you need. "

"Oh, by the way, do you want to leave a memorial for you. You don't need it. Let me see how far it can play? "

Scarlett Johnson, 13, at the moment, her insipid tone like "have you eaten it?" can't help but make all the men present feel a chill.

what the fuck!

Zucker heard a murmur of abuse from the crew next to him.

Man, castration!

Usually listen to a cold all over, not to mention now face this thing!

Zucker was also stiff.

"NIMA, I'm not a director, but the producer is not a person's business."

"Fortunately, it's just fruit candy, not centipede."

That's right. Zhuke, who wants to get involved in the movie, thinks of a future Hollywood heavy taste movie "human centipede" on the spot. By comparison, it's abnormal!

Several young men and women were stripped, injected with anesthetics, and operated on to connect them.

That's right. Through surgery, the former's excretory organs and the latter's oral cavity are connected and sealed with needle and thread, and so on. The story that one person in front eats junk food, and the other person can only eat the feces of one person in front.

This is the heavy taste!

But even so, the castration plot of "fruit candy" still makes all men sweat.

The next few days of shooting, as Zach Schneider expected, finished shooting the high tide part and then shot other parts, which was a lot easier and smoother.

"Sure enough, I'm not as good a director as others." Zucker couldn't help sighing.

On May 12, Zucker left the set for an event in Silicon Valley.

Well, it's a communication activity between new and old Internet companies organized by Silicon Valley.

Of course, Zhuke will take part in this kind of activity. Maybe he will come across some valuable investment projects.

"The first watch" is presented.
