Chapter 384

Wald pictures.

Old Bill mcnick, Kevin Fitch and Zach Schneider are sitting in the conference room for a meeting.

Yes, one more Zach Schneider.

Zach is a director and has made many films for Wald pictures. In the eyes of the outside world, he has already been labeled as Wald pictures. Not long ago, he accepted the invitation of Mr. Zucker and Mr. bill senior to take the post of production director of the production department of Wald pictures and become one of the top executives of Wald pictures.

"I heard that Mr. ward was back in Los Angeles yesterday?" Zach asked.

Old Bill nodded and said, "yes, Alexander himself went to the airport to meet him. It is said that Mr. Ward's team has added some think tanks, but I don't know exactly who it is."

As a senior executive of a company, it is a required course for professional managers in North America to be able to understand the dynamics of their own boss in time.

Well, it's also the way to survive.

Kevin Fitch echoed: "Mr. Ward's think tank member, I know one - little Baggio Lister. Before that, he was the vice president of Aviva (commercial insurance) Company in the UK. I had contact with him in the promotion of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone in the UK. He is a very powerful guy, and information collection is his specialty. "

Old Bill and Zach nodded.

"Zach, you're the director of production, and you're still in charge of shooting shark beach. What's the situation?" Asked Old Bill.

Zach responded: "Mr. mcnick, the film shark beach was closed yesterday and is expected to be finished by the end of June."

When it comes to shark beach, Zach Schneider can't help but get a little excited, because it's his first film to get a personal director's bonus.

Next time, Kevin Fitch, the vice president, told them about his recent work.

First of all, the movie butterfly effect will be released in the United States on April 19.

"Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan jointly direct the butterfly effect. In terms of publicity, we should also increase their efforts. We should pay attention to the project of star directors." Old Bill sank.

Star director?

Since ancient times, the most popular people in Hollywood have always been the actors standing in front of the stage. When it comes to the popularity of the general public, as the core director of a film, he can only stand back.

Old Bill laughed: "although the current Internet bubble has greatly hurt the market environment, we can still see that the future belongs to the Internet. With the spread of the network, the director will never be inferior to the star actor in terms of personal popularity. Therefore, we should build a group of star directors ahead of time."

The star director's plan is the plan that old Bill mentioned in the meeting not long ago.

Well known actors for a film, is a huge appeal, can improve the box office results, but... Director is not it?

no

The director also has great appeal!

Spielberg, James Cameron and other big directors, their own names, can attract a large number of movie audiences to buy tickets.

However, the fact is that there are few directors with strong market appeal in early 2000.

"Since we don't have star directors, we will create Star directors and directors with market appeal."

I have to say that old comrade bill is quite bold!

Todd Phillips, his future film series "hangover" and "clown 2019", are rare good films;

Christopher Nolan doesn't need much. His "Batman Dark Knight" trilogy has been talked about by countless fans.

At present, the two of them, together with a Zach Schneider, are the directors of Wald pictures and even the whole golden dawn entertainment group. They are also the facade figures of the "star director" project.

District 9;

The queen in Prada;

These two films, after Hollywood entered the 21st century, are also very good films, which have made quite good box office.

But

Now these two films, once again, have been "plagiarized" by Zhuke and entered the script library of Wald pictures.

"My plan is to make Christopher Nolan the director of District 9 and Todd Phillips the director of queen in Prada. As long as these two films are successful again and our whole group promotes them, then the director's plan will be successful," said Kevin Fitch

Some people may ask, after they become star directors, will they make films for other film and television companies?

The answer is yes!

Looking at Hollywood as a whole, only a few directors are tied to a film and television company. Most directors are mobile and will make films for many film companies in their lifetime.

Zucker's company turned directors into star directors. They turned around and went to make movies for other companies. Did Zucker suffer?

It's a loss, but in the long run, it's not!

Once Wald film has completed the plan of "star director", it will definitely have great attraction for the unknown directors and further enhance the influence of Wald film.

That's all. It's hard to exchange money!

Moreover, making a good star director is an intangible asset of a film and television company.

You went to another company to make movies, but that doesn't mean you can make movies for Wald pictures again.

Human relationship is not only unique to China, but also exists all over the world!

At the end of the meeting, old Bill revealed a message.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time together." Old Bill laughed.

"Eh?"

Wen Yan, Kevin and Zach are in a daze.

"Mr. mcnichol, do you mean to say that you are going to retire?" Kevin Fitch said in dismay.

"No?" Zach said in dismay.

"Ha ha!"

Old Bill said with a smile, "you two, I'm 69 years old. It's time for me to enjoy my old age."

In fact, old comrade bill is also a man who does not admit defeat, but he really can't bear it.

During the filming of spider man, old Bill was in charge of the production. He had been hospitalized three times. He had more heart than strength!

Old Bill spread his hands and said again, "no regrets. A few years ago, when I was swept out by 20th century fox, I thought my film life was over. But... Just when I was at the bottom, it was Junke, who I hated very much, who gave me the olive branch. In recent years, I have been very satisfied. "

In the whole narration, old Bill's face is full of kindness and satisfaction.

Especially in the face of Zhuke, his mood is extremely complex. After all, he used to hate Zucker because of the Titanic movie.

But now, this old man who has been in Hollywood all his life, as he said, can shine again at the age of nearly 70, and his life has no regrets.

"The first watch" is presented.
