Chapter 82

Los Angeles.

The first time Zhuke came back to the company, he asked Victor to arrange for people to sign three director contracts with Christopher Nolan, and strongly recommended him to become the director of fatal bend 2.

Of course, Nolan is very grateful for this.

Think about his predecessors. When they first came to Hollywood, how many of them were able to act as directors at the beginning?

In addition to very few others, many well-known directors in Hollywood also work from small roles in the cast. They are hard wives who become mothers in law!

At the same time, for Nolan's $6000 film "follow", Zhuke did not let go.

Paid $30000 for full copyright.

"Boss, from my professional point of view, the box office expectation of" follow "is not very good." Victor objected to Zhuke's action.

The box office won't be very good?

Of course not!

In the original history of time and space, the global box office of "follow" is less than $300000.

Zucker nodded: "Victor, the film is not in a hurry. You arrange for people 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, we'll arrange it with our cooperative cinema line to show it on a small scale. And then go off-line DVD sales, in short, we don't expect this movie to make much money. "

"OK, I see." Victor responded.

After all, Victor is the one who is professional in how to operate the film.

For the movie follow, Zhuke's purpose is clear.

I don't expect the film to make any money, mainly to win over Nolan. Of course, after the establishment of Golden Dawn entertainment group, the company has expanded its distribution network in several North American States. Zhuke is willing to let the company's employees try more distribution methods and experience again, so as to preview the operation and distribution of high-cost blockbusters in the future.

the second day.

Zucker got up early in the morning and left for the filming site of the human clearance project.

By the time we got to the scene, the crew had not started shooting. Kevin Fitch, the producer of the film, is discussing today's shooting plan with the director Zach. When he sees the arrival of Zach, he stops working and greets warmly.

"Well, I didn't bother you, did I?"

"I brought you hamburgers."

Zhu Keyang raises two big bags full of hamburgers in his hand. Not only that, bodyguards sun Lei and Zhao Wushuang are also big and small bags with a lot of hamburgers in them.

"What can we say more than thanks?"

Zha Dao said with a smile.

Kevin Fitch, together with several deputy directors of the crew, expressed his thanks.

"It's the best kindness for the boss to come in person." Said Kevin Fitch.

Although Zhuke deducted a little, he didn't go too far. He never gave less money, let alone delayed. Well, it's similar to giving hamburgers a small favor, and Zucker comes at his fingertips!

But Montesquieu said: "in the relationship between people, small details are often very important. Whether unintentional or deliberate. "

To this sentence, Zhuke is absolutely deep thought.

In the following time, Zhuke, Zadao and Feiqi exchanged views on some issues of the human clearance program, and also asked if they needed help.

Feiqi said: "boss, the shooting is professional, there is no big problem. The actors of the main production groups are not well-known. In terms of publicity in the early stage, it would be better if the group could give some support. "

"No problem. I'll tell Victor what to do."

Zucker nodded: "and don't forget, I'm a major shareholder of ICQ. I'll contact ICQ company to arrange a pop-up advertisement for the human clearance project with ultra-low internal price."

Icq？

On hearing this, Kevin Fitch was immediately overjoyed.

It is beyond his expectation that ICQ can arrange pop-up ads.

You know, in today's era, if you don't know ICQ, you will be out!

It is a good thing to say that after the A round of financing, several new shareholders of ICQ are really awesome. Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other big companies only use part of their strength to promote ICQ, which makes ICQ company complete a leap forward development in a short period of one month.

There are 8 million registered users in North America and 4 million overseas users.

This is the current data of ICQ.

With the understanding that the number of Internet users in the world is more than 300 million, ICQ has 12 million users in a short time, which is already very amazing. No, it's not too much to describe it as amazing.

After solving the problem of Kevin Fitch, it was not long before today's shooting time.

Zucker finally met the actors of the human clearance project.

All right, Junker doesn't know a damn one.

Of course, this does not affect the filming and box office performance of project human clearance. After all, the point of the film is not the popularity of the actors, but the originality of the film.

Otherwise, why do you think the 1234 films in the series are all different actors?

In 2022, due to the overpopulation of the earth, the American government launched a plan to allow all crimes within 12 hours to reduce the number of human beings. The ugliness of human nature, false faces and all kinds of violence are the highlights of this film.

Every box office performance of the series is quite good.

The box office of the first film is close to 100 million US dollars in the world, while the box office of the following films is more than 100 million US dollars despite the decline of word-of-mouth.

"The box office doesn't seem to be as high as Spiderman and other popular movies, but it costs less!"

The average production cost of each film is 10 million US dollars at most

There is no doubt that in the next few years, it will be hard for Wald pictures, which owns the human clearance project series, to think about it.

Zhuke is now the chairman of Jin Shuguang entertainment group, with a fortune of more than 200 million US dollars. With his career rising, his work is getting busier and busier. He can't continue to stay in the cast all day as before.

Therefore, not acting as the producer of the film will be the normal in the future!

Of course, "Spider Man", "Harry Potter" and other high-cost blockbuster producers, Zhuke is no doubt to personally ask, after all, the interests involved in this, too large.

"I'll be busy again. Maybe I can have another addiction to be a director in my spare time."

For a moment, Zhuke could not help but raise his mouth slightly.

As a director of the film, although more tired, relatively speaking, it does not make much money, but in the process of being a director, Zhuke still has a sense of achievement.

"Even if time doesn't allow me to make long films, I can make short films!"

"For example," the blind tuner "is all right

There is no doubt that "the blind tuner" is one of the best short films, not to mention the popularity in overseas countries, even in the Great China, there are many netizens who marvel and pursue it.

...

...

In the next few days, Zhuke was basically immersed in the work of UPN television network.

The production of "American talent show" has become the top priority of Zhuke's work.

As for the little wizard who just got the copyright, Zhuke didn't rush to promote it. He just made a small promotion in Amazon mall. Maybe, after a while, arrange someone to contact Penguin Book House, Random House and other book sales giants for further promotion.

"Donna, you are in charge of the production of the talent show. I'll contact the judges, OK?" Said Zucker.

"No problem, boss!"

Donna's answer was straightforward, but she knew the importance of the project. Well, or do your best!

Can Zhuke ignore this project?

You know, in 2007, Fox TV paid $70 million for the North American production rights of the talent show, not counting its advertising share to British companies.

The second watch is on.
