Chapter 157

Thanks to the popularity of the movie Titanic in the global market, James Cameron, as the director of the film, is even more famous!

Recently, in interviews with many media, he has gone a little too far.

After all, the box office performance of the film completely exceeded his previous expectations.

"What?"

"You said my blade rumors, box office failure on the neck?"

"Are you kidding, man?"

"As the director of the Titanic, I certainly believe that my film will succeed. I am Cameron! Man, don't forget, when I was shooting terminator 1, did I get less sarcasm? "

"Therefore, in recent months, I don't care about the pressure from the media, the cinema and the producers. On the contrary, these will become the driving force for me to move forward!"

"I expected the box office to explode!"

I have to say that if you don't have a good eloquence in Hollywood, you can't be a director. Otherwise, you can't stand the media run alone.

Cameron has gone through months of low ebb, as well as the sarcasm of the media. Now that the box office of the film is exploding, he naturally has to give it a slap.

Don't blame me!

Even if he is a famous director in the world, he is also a person!

What's more, he touts these at the moment for the sake of box office.

Do you want to tell the media and movie audiences that the box office explosion is an accident?

In this case, the truth, will inevitably lose part of the box office!

Even if Cameron agrees, paramount and 20th century fox, as producers, will not let him do it!

What are you going to do now?

Blow it up and it's over!

Therefore, at this moment, when Cameron is interviewed by the media, he will say that he has no pressure at all. It was not until 1999, when Cameron became famous, that he admitted how much pressure he had at that time, which almost crushed him; He also admitted that he didn't expect to get a shocking box office result, and was ready to work as a truck driver.

In the original space-time history, "Titanic" has won the North American box office champion for 15 consecutive weeks, and the global box office has exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars, which is absolutely a miracle.

Zucker invested $85 million to get 25% of Titanic's revenue, including the final box office bonus of the production company and the bonus of the peripheral, DVD and video market.

There is no doubt that Zhuke's investment has made a lot of money!

.......

At the end of February 1998.

The preparatory work for the film "300 warriors of Sparta" has been successfully completed, and the selection of the main characters has been officially announced.

Zach Schneider is the director of the film;

Zhu Ke, who has been idle for two months, is the producer of the film;

Kevin Fitch, vice president of Wald pictures, is also the second producer of the film, making every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the film.

As a matter of fact, long before the announcement of the casting of the 300 warriors of Sparta, many agents in Hollywood got wind of it and began to take the initiative to contact Wald pictures to fight for roles and mirrors for their own artists and actors.

Juno, human clearance, sixth sense

Although Wald film has not been established for a long time, who makes Zhuke, as the boss, an open man? In recent years, he has produced and released many high box office movies. How can we not attract the attention of Hollywood actors when we start shooting new films?

The production cost of 300 warriors of Sparta is as high as 60 million US dollars, which is the highest single production cost of Wald pictures since its establishment.

Even if you look at Hollywood as a whole, you can't compete with the six major first-line productions in Hollywood, and you are the best in the second-line productions.

How can the actors be reserved?

This is a great opportunity for a promotion.

Wald pictures is not an anonymous film company now!

It is one of the six biggest Hollywood companies, second only to DreamWorks, touchstone, new line pictures and other film and television companies. It also has a distribution network all over the United States.

.......

CAA brokers.

"Darren, the hero of the 300 warriors of Sparta, I'm the only one!"

Matt Damon stares at his agent, Darren Scotty, warning: "don't screw up this time. After all, we've missed one."

"I see."

Agent Darren nodded heavily.

Matt Damon actually regretted it!

You know, at the beginning of 1996, when Zucker was not long after the founding of Wald pictures, he personally served as the director and started shooting "Lola Run", but he invited Matt Damon to take the lead in the film. However, because CAA agency wants to take the leading position of the film and provide other roles, the talks between them fall apart.

Since then, Zhuke has directly skipped the CAA agency when choosing actors for many films.

"You are a small film company that has not been established for a long time. Do you really regard yourself as God?"

"New director, ha ha ~!"

This is the original agent Darren in the Wald film industry, said the words.

This move, however, offended Wald pictures and Zhuke himself.

But offend, offend!

Matt Damon and his agent, Darren Scotty, didn't care. It's like an elephant needs to care about ants that can be trampled to death at any time?

However

However, now Wald pictures has been promoted to a well-known second tier film company in Hollywood. As the boss, Zucker is a shareholder of many well-known listed companies and has more than one billion dollars.

The status has been reversed!

Matt Damon, who looks cute but is actually extremely shrewd, has long wanted to ease the relationship. Now when he hears that "Spartan 300" has started casting, how can he sit still?

"Even if I can't win the leading actor and main role of the film, I can still send an apology message to Mr. Wald when I take the initiative to appear in the casting scene."

Matt Damon, I have to say, is smart enough and smart enough to be a chicken thief.

In other words, no one who can succeed in Hollywood is a fool! Even the lucky ones who are in power once will be eliminated if they are not smart enough.

.......

William Morris Agency.

"Jackie, you've worked with Wald pictures several times. This time, they're going to make Sparta 300, a $60 million movie. We can't miss anything." Agent ancerti dormond said excitedly.

Smell speech, Jackie · Phoenix heavily nodded.

Although he is young, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how can he cooperate with Wald film too many films when others are not optimistic about Wald film.

The hero of fatal curve 1;

The villain of the human clearance program;

Jacqueline Phoenix has worked with Wald pictures on many films, which is his advantage.

Agent ancerti dormond said again: "I have seen the introduction of the film. The hero Leonida Wang needs mature and muscular actors to play. We have no chance. But we can fight for the No. 2 and No. 3 men in the film. After all, it's a film with a production cost of 60 million dollars. "

"Well, I'll leave it to you."

Jacqueline Phoenix responded.

.......

meanwhile.

After learning that Wald film's "Spartan 300" is about to start casting, the major economic companies began to take action one after another.

The protagonist Leonida king and the heroine Leonida queen are the two most important roles they are fighting for!

It has to be said that Wald film has really grown up, from the initial initiative to invite actors, but also often refused, to now the situation of actors flocking.

"The first watch" is presented.
