Chapter 397

Due to the limited production cost of "District 9", many famous actors are unwilling to take part in the film. However, there is no shortage of actors in Hollywood!

Don't you eat pork without butcher Zhang?

It's ridiculous!

Only a few days after the official news was announced, there were quite a few agents and representatives of Wald pictures every day.

James McAvoy is one of them.

At the beginning of 1996, the young "Professor X" played the leading role in the first Wald film "Lola Run".

With the overseas box office of "Lola Run" exceeding 100 million, he has become one of the new generation of young actors in Hollywood.

He's very grateful to Zucker!

"In fact, he has to thank Zucker, too."

Without the passage of Zhuke, James McAvoy didn't get a small role in the company of brothers until 2001. After several years of ups and downs, he completely rose with the help of Narnia legend and X-Men: World War I.

James McAvoy was the first to respond to an interview with Wald's publicist.

At the same time, he also made a personal call to Zhuke.

"I have a heart."

"James McAvoy, I can't give you a guarantee that you will get the lead role in District 9, but... As long as your performance is good enough and moves me, you are the only one who can play the lead role."

"Peace of mind ~"

"But I have a word to say."

"Your age is a disadvantage. At 21, many roles are not suitable for you."

Zucker chose to put the scandal ahead.

The film "District 9" has certain requirements for the hero's personality.

First of all, he should have extensive social experience. Therefore, he should not be too young. He should be about 30 years old.

Professor X is still too young!

"Thank you, Mr. ward. I see." James McAvoy, on the other end of the line, is a little depressed at the moment.

"Ha ha ha ~"

"You're still young, man," Chuck laughed. Even if you don't have District 9 this time, you will have a lot of opportunities. "

"Really?"

All of a sudden, James McAvoy was full of surprises, and his depression was swept away.

He knew that Zucker was comforting him and, at the same time, hinted at him - I'll give you a chance.

you 're right!

He guessed right!

Zucker is also planning a new movie, dancing out of my life.

In recent years, Zhuke has successively acquired a number of Hollywood film and television companies, and also launched the acquisition of pinnacle entertainment. However, Pinnacle entertainment has rejected Zhuke.

According to reason, ah, business can't be done. Benevolence and justice lie in it. Even if we fail to reach an acquisition, let it go.

But not so!

Patrick Watzberg, chairman of pinnacle entertainment, lost a lot of money in the Internet bubble. He was worried that the fire would not go anywhere. This did not send all his anger to the representative sent by Zuker.

Moreover, he openly declared in the media: "Zucker Wald, wishful thinking!"

Zucker was very angry.

"Give face, don't be shameful!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being shameless!"

Peak Entertainment is in the future, but there are many good things. The two sides have already formed a grudge. Naturally, Zhuke will not let it go easily. He must teach a lesson.

The movie series "dancing out of my life" is one of the signs of the future peak entertainment.

But now?

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's mine!" Chuck thought.

When Hollywood enters the 21st century, movies about science fiction, action, thriller, love and so on are in full bloom and have become famous. However, there are few good movies about song and dance.

In addition to "Chicago", "song and dance youth", that is "dance out of my life" series of films, famous at home and abroad.

Cut a beard?

Hehe, is this kind of thing less done by Zhuke?!

.......

Warner Bros.

"What a mistake!"

"We originally expected that after the merger of Time Warner Group and AOL, we could achieve 1 + 1 greater than 2, but who knows that the current internal struggle will be so fierce."

Steve Roth, chairman of Time Warner Group, is furious.

1 + 1 is greater than 2?

The combination of the two old and new media has not played a positive role. On the contrary, they have been fighting and fighting for a long time.

For now, the combination of the two media, 1 + 1 equals 1, is good.

Pull the leg, too NIMA pit father!

Dong Dong Dong~

Just then, the door of the office was pushed open.

The person who came in was Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros., a subsidiary of Time Warner!

"Boss, this is the news you want from Wald pictures." Barry Meyer said.

Send out a copy of the information.

Steve Ross scanned the information for a long time and sighed: "Jack Wald is really cunning. The $30 million production cost of" District 9 "can stir up the situation in this way. It's young!"

"It's true."

Barry Meyer is also very smart, saying: "it's reasonable to say that" District 9 "is just an ordinary science fiction film, but Wald pictures is doing the opposite, using ultra-low production costs to carry out publicity, attracting people's attention, and has achieved great attention!"

They talked again.

But chatting and chatting, we talked about the Spider Man movie that will be released by Wald pictures in the near future.

"Spiderman is the ambition of Wald films."

"As we all know, marvel owns thousands of superhero comics, which is the only one in the United States that can be compared with our DC Comics."

"Blade warrior has a good performance, which has opened up a world for marvel."

"While Zucker Wald did not acquire the equity of Marvel company, he holds dozens of Marvel superhero copyrights in his hands. Once spider man achieves unprecedented success, then Hulk, Captain America, Raytheon and other superheroes are bound to land on the cinema line one after another."

"At that time, even if we launch Superman, Batman, flash and so on, we will slow down a step."

Barry Meyer's analysis is to the point.

But... It's no use at all!

Barry Mayer was planning to restart Batman and Superman films when Zucker announced the start of spider man.

However, at that time, Time Warner was busy negotiating with AOL about M & A. where could time restart Batman and Superman?

And now?

Even more, he was busy fighting for power and profit, and no one supported Barry Meyer's proposal.

Steve Roth, chairman of Time Warner Group, patted Barry Meyer on the shoulder and sighed: "you're worried about being one step behind others. I'm just as anxious, but... AOL bastards, they know a hammer movie!"

If time warner can't get the voice of the new company, it's impossible to restart Batman and Superman.

.......

The next day.

Zhuke sits at the headquarters of Golden Dawn entertainment group and holds the representative meeting of all subsidiaries.

There is only one purpose!

That is the overall energy of the operation group. Before the release of spider man, we should coordinate the full copyright operation of spider man.

Movies, comics, radio, magazines, books, peripheral products, peripheral licensing, games

Use all available means to maximize the benefits of spider man.

"The first watch" is presented. Sorry for being late~
