Chapter 72

the second day.

Wald pictures.

Zach Schneider, the director of hard candy, is invited to Wald pictures again.

"Hi, Zach, my friend. Welcome to the party."

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

For Zach Schneider, Zucker still gives considerable respect. Man, that's the director who will make Superman: the body of steel and 300 warriors of Sparta in the future!

"How are you doing, man? I heard that some time ago, many film companies found you as a film director. "

Chuck smiles and pats Zac on the shoulder. Then he presses him on the sofa and makes him a cup of coffee.

Zach shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Wald, I..."

"Call me Zhuke. I've said it several times. We're friends. We don't use honorifics." Zucker interrupted him.

Hearing the words, Rao is Zach, who has been on the set of MV for a long time. He is also very moved.

My own friend!

Zach said, "all right, junk. Since the release of "fruit candy", many film companies have asked me to shoot new films. However, those scripts are simply useless, which makes me not interested in shooting. Moreover, the highest cost of the films they asked me to shoot is less than $1 million. They came here with a lottery mentality. How can I accept them? "

Zucker nodded.

He is familiar with Zha Dao, but he still pursues something.

Although the box office of "fruit candy" is not high, only more than $5 million, but because of the low cost, Wald pictures still made some money.

Well, not much. All in all, it's only $1.5 million.

$1.5 million!

Well, man is the existence of drive.

In the eyes of many large and medium-sized Hollywood companies, this figure is nothing at all. However, for many low-end companies, it is absolutely worth their profits of one year or even two years.

"Man, would you like to see this cartoon?"

When Zhuke saw that, he gave him a piece of sweet.

“《300》？”

"Well, it's still an illustrated cartoon. It turned out to be the work of Frank Miller."

Zach, who talked to himself, soon finished reading 300 comics. The main reason is that there are not many comics.

However, it also aroused his interest.

He decided to watch it again!

Because he has a good foundation in painting, and is deeply influenced by his parents, he has also studied art painting, so he especially likes cartoon works.

Throughout his future films, he is always full of slow motion, dark tone, exaggerated violence and other personal creation.

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

For example, "Superman: the body of steel.".

The colors of his works are thick and dark, just like deep oil paintings, especially on the cartoon adaptation works, which brings a sense of seriousness. His "Spartan 300 warriors" is a typical representative.

"Great

After reading the cartoon 300, director Zha became very excited: "Leonidas, the king of Sparta, is absolutely my hero. Jack, are you going to adapt this cartoon for Wald pictures? "

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

Zucker answered truthfully.

After all, there is nothing to hide.

“yes！ Mr. Wald... Oh, Zhuke, please make sure you give me this cartoon adaptation of the film. For this reason, I can give up the cost of being a film director. "

Zach's eyes were fixed on him. He was very excited at first, but now he became solemn.

He loves 300 so much.

As for abandoning director fees?

Give up and give up!

He firmly believes that he can quickly become famous by shooting "300". After that, is he afraid that he can't be a person in Hollywood?

"Zach, I'll show you this cartoon. Do you think I'll choose someone else as the director? As for the cost of directing, do you think I would be mean to a friend? "

Zucker waved his hand.

Hearing the speech, Zach bowed to Zhuke: "thank you very much!"

"Oh, my heart

Zucker couldn't help but move.

In fact, just when he heard that Zhadu was willing to give up the director's expenses, Zhuke almost blurted out his promise. After all, he insisted that saving a sum is a sum.

However, this is totally killing the chicken for the egg!

As for people, many of them are entangled with each other because of their interests. They also go their separate ways because of their interests, or even turn into enemies.

This kind of situation, Zhuke has seen too much in his two lives.

It's not advisable to kill the chicken to get the eggs for the meager expenses of directing.

"Zach, this is an adaptation of 300. You can watch it later." Said Zucker.

"Well, I'll take it seriously." Zach nodded.

Zhuke suddenly said: "the film director must be you, but I have a word to say in the front, that is, this" 300 "film will not be shot in the near future."

"Er..." Zach was stunned.

"You don't ask the reason. The reason is that the production cost is too high."

"Victor and I, as well as the people in the production department, have discussed several times and found that the shooting cost of the whole film is at least $60 million to better show the hot spring pass war," Zucker explained

60 million dollars?!

Well, it's a lot more than the cost of the upcoming sixth sense by Wald pictures.

Zhadao "...."

What else can he say now?

Did you just say to Zhuke: get the money out and let me shoot?!

As long as the brain is normal people, will never say this sentence.

However, at the moment, after learning that he can't immediately prepare 300, he still can't help feeling lost for a while.

"Ha ha ha ~"

Looking at Zha Dao's lost appearance, Zhuke couldn't help laughing and said, "you don't have to worry too much. I'm not asking you to wait for three or five years."

"Ten months!"

"This is a promise I made to you!"

"After 10 months, the film" 300 "shooting funds, will all into the special account, let you shoot the film."

Voice down, Zha guide excitedly bounce from the sofa.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Zach immediately said that he was willing to wait! For this reason, let alone 10 months, even three years, he is willing to wait.

The second watch is on.

Thank you for your second reward.
