Chapter 421

In mid September.

Paramount film base.

"I announce that the movie" Tomb Raider "is finished! Today, the mirror is closed Zhuke is on the set, announcing to the audience.

Suddenly, the whole scene broke out a burst of thunderous applause and shouts.

At the moment, both the director Simon West and the absolute heroine Angelina Jolie are excited.

Tomb Raider has been officially approved since October 1999;

In December 1999, Zhu kedacheng cooperated with paramount as a producer and began to plan the preparation of Tomb Raider;

In February 2000, the directors and actors were selected to form various working groups of the production team;

In May 2000, "Tomb Raider" officially started shooting;

So far, in the middle of September 2000, after nearly a year of preparation and shooting, the film has been officially closed and all the shooting links have been completed.

"The film shooting process is over, but the later special effects, soundtrack, dubbing, editing and other work, but also a certain amount of time and effort." Chuckles.

Smell speech, a few person in charge present all nod.

Tom Harris, the second producer, said, "it's going to take a little more work from you, Mr. Wald. With an excellent film producer like you, we have confidence in ourselves. I firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Wald, our Tomb Raider will definitely get a very good box office. After all, Mr. ward is a famous movie genius

Listen~

Tom Harris is so talkative that no wonder he can get along in Hollywood.

This man has both ability and good voice. If he doesn't succeed, who will?

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Zucker waved his hand.

During the whole shooting period of Tomb Raider, Zhuke had a pleasant life. No matter from the director, the second producer, or even the actors, Zhuke was quite comfortable in the process of getting along with each other. Well, even though Zucker is often absent from filming.

"Chuck, you'll have to drink more with me at the party later." Angelina Jolie laughs.

"Certainly." Zucker responded with a smile.

Director Simon West said: "I'd like to have more drinks with Mr. Wald. After all, if it wasn't for Mr. Wald, I wouldn't have been the director of Tomb Raider."

Hearing the speech, Zhuke immediately said with a smile, "I'm modest, my friend. There is no doubt about your talent. Even without Tomb Raider, you are bound to become an excellent director. Well, if it's too much, I won't say much. After the Tomb Raider is completed, maybe we can cooperate again. "

Working together again?

The director, Simon Weston, was in a daze.

In his opinion, it's definitely a good thing to make friends with Jack!

Zhuke is one of the movie tycoons in Hollywood, the boss of Wald pictures, which is full of attraction for any director.

Dada dada~

At this time, a sound of footwork came.

"Boss, Mr. antioco from Blockbuster would like to see you?" said Alexander, Zhuke's chief assistant

"He's coming?" Zucker's brow was raised.

Blockbuster, the largest offline DVD and video distributor and rental service provider in the United States and even in the world, has more than 9000 stores and more than 60000 employees worldwide, with a market value of US $40 billion.

Meanwhile, blockbuster and Paramount Pictures are subsidiaries of Viacom group.

"Boss, do you want me to turn him down for you?" Said Alexander.

Hearing the speech, Zhuke shook his head: "it's reasonable to say that if blockbuster has any business cooperation, it's victor, or old bill, or Kevin Fitch. He's not suitable for me. But, after all, we are in Paramount's territory. Forget it, let him come here. "

"Yes, boss." Alexander responded and left immediately.

Director Simon West, Julie and others saw that Zhuke had something to talk about, and immediately left with a look on their face.

In a word, sensible!

Not long, blockbuster's antioco came to Zhuke.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wald!" The visitors are very enthusiastic.

"I know you. You're a talent," he said

Antioco, one of the top executives of blockbuster, is mainly responsible for the copyright negotiation business of DVD and video tapes.

For now, there are many people with higher status and power than antioco in blockbuster, but in the future, antioco is one of the absolute decision-making levels, and he is a man who can almost turn the tide.

In 2003, Naifei company rose.

Relying on online DVD rental, Netflix broke down blockbuster and its business soared, with more than 4 million users.

Blockbuster is just like sunset, it's dying!

It was at these critical moments that antioco came forward. As soon as he took office, he started the online service of blockbuster. In a short period of one year, Naifei was overwhelmed.

But!

In 2007, when antioco was about to defeat Netflix, the future streaming media giant, the board of directors of blockbuster was unwilling to pay $7.6 million in bonus, but only gave it $5.6 million, so it chose to fire antioco, the biggest hero!

Sigh~

By 2020, Netflix has become one of the largest streaming media giants in the world, with a market value of more than $240 billion.

What about blockbuster?

It's gone!

It's completely gone!

No, to be exact, there is only one store left for tourists to take photos and recall the glory of blockbuster.

"Mr. ward, the purpose of my coming here today is to negotiate the distribution and leasing business of your company's off-line DVD and video tapes of spider man." Antioch said solemnly.

"Well!"

Juke nodded and said, "I'll consider your suggestion."

To be honest, Zhuke doesn't want to talk more with antioco, because it will make Zhuke a lot less money to negotiate the distribution and leasing business of offline DVD and video of spider man so early.

As a passer-by, Zhuke knows the popularity of spider man's offline DVD market.

Spiderman DVD, one week after its launch, has sold millions of copies, with a sales volume of US $110 million, breaking the sales record of offline DVD for Hollywood movies.

At that time, as the undertaker, blockbuster made a lot of money!

However, at that time, as the production company of spider man, Sony Columbia made less money on DVD than blockbuster, which is a joke.

Zucker doesn't want to be a joke or a wrongdoer.

In a word, you can sell the copyright to blockbuster, but you can't sell it so early!

The next day.

Zucker got another message from his assistant, Alexander.

Reid Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, the future streaming media giant, is eager to meet Zucker.

"The first watch" is presented.

Yesterday, the minister had a bad cold. Today, he is suffering.
