On the second day after the wedding, Zhuk waved his hand and informed Wald pictures to start the preparations for shark beach.
As early as last year, Zhuke gave the script to the company for the writers to improve.
Limited by the lack of talents, the project has not been started. Now that "death is coming" has been released and "Butterfly Effect" has been filmed, it's natural to deploy some manpower to start the project.
"Shark Beach" film is a typical example of small and broad!
Since the founding of Wald pictures, he has a lot of experience in shooting such horror films, so he will not miss the opportunity to make money.
"Shark Beach" is a film released in 2016, played by "dead man" actor Ryan Reynolds's wife Blake Lively; The production cost of the film is $17 million, but it has earned more than $100 million at the box office worldwide. Well, even in the Great China market, without much publicity, its box office results in the first three days of the weekend exceeded 50 million yuan.
Hollywood films, which are non science fiction, non action and non high cost, can achieve excellent box office performance in the Chinese market, which is almost a very valuable existence.
As we all know, there is a kind of horror film in Hollywood, which specially turns a kind of animals into anti-human killers, such as dogs, bears, python, bats, spiders
All the animals that fly in the sky, run on the ground and swim in the water can become the most terrible killers on the screen under the production of Hollywood.
In the vast ocean, the most frightening killer is the shark!
It doesn't need mutation, it doesn't need any modification, it can tear anyone to pieces, so it has become a regular on the screen.
Whether it's "great white shark" created by Spielberg, or "deep sea shark" under the guise of science fiction, or "shark tornado" selling Wumao special effects, it's a movie that has a profound impact.
"Shark Beach" film, is also the best of such films!
"More than 100 million dollars at the box office is the best proof of it."
"Moreover, the production cost of the film was only 17 million US dollars, so when it was released, the film company Columbia did not pay attention to it. Even so, it made a lot of box office performance."
"In addition, when the film was released, the schedule selection was also very bad."
As a traverser, Zhuke naturally experienced 2106 years of film market.
When shark beach was released in North America, there were countless blockbusters, blockbusters and high-cost films that were released at the same time and not long after it was released.
"Captain America 3: Civil War", "demon robbers 2", "X-Men: Apocalypse"
These movies are not high cost blockbusters, and they are all sequels supported by many fans. How can shark beach not become cannon fodder in such a period of time when there are so many blockbusters gathering and attacking?
"With a combination of better production, profitable publicity and appropriate schedule, the production of" shark Beach "by Wald film is bound to be much higher than the original."
"Even if the distribution market is not mature enough and the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, I am quite confident."
Zhuke thought to himself.
Do what you want!
Soon after, Wald pictures set up a special group for "shark Beach" and set the production cost.
The production cost of the film was $14 million, down from $17 million in the original.
Of course, that's not the reason Zucker wants to save money.
Inflation, labor costs and other factors will affect the cost of expenditure. In addition, the protagonist in the original version is Blake leffley, who alone gets as much as $9 million.
ha-ha!
Guess you'll pay more than $9 million to invite an actress to play the leading role in "shark Beach" according to Zucker's stingy nature?
.......
A few days later.
The behind the scenes crew of "shark Beach" has been set up.
Director: Zach Schneider, who has been off for more than half a year;
Producer: Kevin Fitch, vice president of Wald pictures, is in charge;
The total production cost is estimated to be 14 million US dollars;
"Zach, sign the contract."
In his office, in the presence of lawyers, Zach Schneider signed the first director contract in his life as a director with a box office share.
Yes, on the basis of the director's salary of $2 million, he got the chance of box office bonus.
"Zach, you don't have to see" shark Beach "is a small and medium-sized film, but I'm full of confidence in it. The box office results of more than 100 million US dollars are nothing to say."
Zhuke said with a smile: "your 10% share of net profit is bound to make a lot of money."
Zach said with a smile, "I'm also optimistic about the future of shark beach, otherwise I won't accept it. In a word, thank Mr. Wald for giving me this opportunity."
"I've known for a long time that Zach will be a big Hollywood director in the future," the agent said excitedly
A director with a share of the box office is a symbol of status.
10% of the net profit share of the box office, although less than 10% of the box office share, more "net profit" these three words, but take more 3-4 million dollars, absolutely not a problem.
After several years of cooperation, Zach has made three films for Wald pictures, namely "fruit candy", "human clearance plan" and "Spartan 300 warrior"; There are more films in name.
Shark beach is not a big movie, but it is undoubtedly a great progress in Zach's directing career!
Man, box office share!
The symbol of the great director!
"Thank you."
At this moment, Zach Schneider, who has become a famous Hollywood director, can't help getting excited.
Lighting, photography, props, make-up, art, field notes
In less than three days, they were all in place.
Next, of course, is the choice of actors!
The movie "shark Beach" tells the story of a beautiful woman trapped on the beach and fighting with a shark alone. Although there are many characters on the stage, it is almost the heroine's one-man show. Therefore, the choice of the heroine is very important.
Beautiful, good figure, is the first priority;
Secondly, it has a certain popularity;
In addition, as an actress, she must have excellent acting skills;
The most important point is that the charge should be cheap!!!
Among the actresses who are familiar with Zhuke, such as Charlize Theron, Jessica chastan, Angelina Jolie and so on, Zhuke is of course... None of them.
Their pay is not low!
In the end, Salma Hayek, who was invited by Zhuk not long ago, was the one who won the leading role.
As the future boss of Kaiyun group, she is naturally beautiful enough and has a very strong figure. A pair of headlights can naturally attract many young audiences in this seaside plot.
The key is that she has just experienced the box office failure of "hurricane cop". Her film is about cheap and has a certain popularity.
Three million dollars to win!
It's a lot cheaper than the original actress's "gossip girl" Blake Lively.
Just a few days later, after a low-key press conference, the film shark beach started shooting smoothly.
The speed is amazing!
Of course, this also benefits from the strong production capacity of Wald pictures!
November 1.
After the release of "Nemo" for nearly three months, its production company, water world animation, will be officially listed on the US stock market in a few days!!!
Let's get a wave of support from the third watch, my friends~
