Chapter 499

"Hi, Chuck!"

As soon as he got to the venue and sat down, someone said hello to him.

It is called Zhuke;

Rather than the honorific name of the population - Mr. Wald;

The bearer is obviously qualified for this!

His name is Somer leishidong. He is a famous billionaire, the boss of Viacom group, one of the world's largest media groups, the boss of Paramount Pictures, one of the six largest Hollywood companies, and the chairman of blockbuster group, the world's largest offline DVD and video distributor and renter provider.

Zucker turned to look.

It's not Lei Shidong, a skinny little old man, who comes into view first, but Nancy Meyers, the main creator of the film "men are 100 percent", starring Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt and others.

Later, Zhu Ke saw the little old man Lei Shidong with a smile on his face.

"This way, Mr. Wald, please have a seat!" Bruce David, senior producer of paramount, got up with great insight to make way for Zhuke.

"Thank you."

Zhuke to a thank you, at the moment there is no polite, straight down to sit down.

Two guys want to talk?

People around, have subconsciously retreat.

Even Mel Gibson, who has always been very arrogant and abused Wald pictures in private, is smiling at the moment and does not dare to overstep.

In a word, Zucker is the man Mel Gibson can't afford to offend!

To be exact, there are few people in Hollywood who can compete with Jack.

Even Steven Soderberg, the great director who has just uttered rave, has just been addicted to his words.

Without the support of Universal Pictures, he would not dare to stab Zhuke with three courage!

In the United States, who has more capital, who has greater voice, this is the truth!

"I said, Lei Shidong, you are coming to the Oscars. As far as I know, the last time you came to the Oscars was at least five years ago." Said juke as he sat down.

"You're right."

Lei Shidong said with a smile: "I seldom come here. The last time I came here was at the 1995 Oscars. Think about it. It's been years

Hearing the speech, Zhuke said with a smile: "it's a great honor for this Oscar. After all, they invite you every year, and you refuse again and again."

That's right~

It is well known that the owners of six major Hollywood companies seldom attend the Oscars.

For example, since Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, as the old devil of Sony's boss, he has only attended the Oscars once.

Global, Disney, Warner and other giant companies, the company's boss rarely personally drive to the Oscars.

In a word, Oscar is not necessary for them.

College officials also dare not offend these capital tycoons.

"I'm here for you, junk. Don't forget, you're the first producer of Tomb Raider

"I know from Shirley Lansing that you've never been to Paramount Pictures since all the films were shot in January this year," said leishidong, looking at Zucker with deep resentment. Now a lot of post editing materials are waiting for your final decision. Can you have more snacks, man? "

Smell speech, Zhu Ke waved a hand, accuse a way: "blame me, blame me!"

Producer Bruce David

David's eyes kept scanning the two of them.

"That's Mr. Wald. If someone else changes his mind, what will he be scolded like?" David said in his heart.

As a member of Paramount Pictures, he knows how hot his boss Lei Shidong's temperament is.

Even Sherry Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures, the top three in Hollywood's power list, has been scolded by the hot tempered Lei Shidong!

At the moment, Mel Gibson, a famous male star on one side, is also very envious. He says in his heart: "it's really the communication between the big guys. If the producer is not Zucker Wald, he will turn a blind eye to the film in recent months. Maybe he will be banned by the whole industry."

It's nothing to do with Chuck!

In terms of personal wealth, Zhuke has surpassed him. Well, at least more than three billion dollars!

"To tell you the truth, I envy you a little bit."

Without waiting for Zhuke's response, Lei Shidong said to himself, "you said that your Wald film industry has created so many series of films in just a few years."

Zhuke was dumb for a moment.

"Fatal bend" series, "human clearance plan" series, "death is coming" series, "Spider Man" series, "Harry Potter" series

This does not include the "speed and passion" series being filmed;

And the Pirates of the Caribbean series, which has just been approved and is in the stage of script writing;

If you add in a lot of Marvel superhero copyrights that Zhuke holds, tut Tut, unconsciously, Zhuke's film company already owns at least 10 series film copyrights.

Lei Shidong said in a deep voice: "although I seldom pay attention to Paramount Pictures, I also know something. Judging from the box office form in recent years, the future of Hollywood is bound to be a series of films."

"Whoever has a sufficient number of films in the series will be able to maximize the company's profits and avoid losses."

After that, Lei Shidong looks at Zhuke with burning eyes.

Zhuke immediately put up a thumb, praised: "old man, I have to say, you have a bad eye!"

After entering the 21st century, Hollywood has to face a problem.

——The lack of original ability makes it difficult for original scripts to gain high box office;

Especially after 2005, there are no Hollywood movies, non series sequels, that can make more than one billion dollars at the box office!

Moreover, there are a large number of high box office movies, which are adapted from novels and comics;

Original scripts need to take great risks. Even the six big Hollywood movie giants can't afford the risk of huge losses.

........

Soon, the Oscars ceremony officially began.

The host, Steve Martin, appeared;

Katherine Zeta Jones, a famous actress, announced the winner of the best art direction award at the Oscars;

Nicholas Cage, the most popular Hollywood actor among Oriental audiences, appeared on the stage and presented the best supporting actress award;

Russell Crowe took the stage and presented the best editing award;

........

After the whole process, the atmosphere of the scene became more and more warm, and everyone involved in it kept participating in it all the time.

After all, from time to time, cameras swept them.

Tens of millions of people in front of the TV are watching. Of course, they have to consider the impact.

But

At this moment, sitting in the front row of Zhuke and Lei Shidong, they have been talking, completely dissociated from the whole scene.

Many people can't help being black.

"This, this, this is too..."

"Unbridled, right? Man, don't you see who they are? "

"Yes. One of them is the boss of paramount, the other is the boss of Wald pictures, the Oscar organizers and the Academy. Who dares to offend them? Either of them will care about these rumors. "

.......

Now there are many well-known actors, producers and directors, one of whom is regarded as one.

Little Li Zi couldn't help smashing his mouth and said, "maybe this is the real big guy!"

Toby Maguire nodded and said, "in their position, they don't need to be with others at all, but other people should be with them."

Steven Spielberg, the great director, was envious: "Wald pictures has completely surpassed my DreamWorks now!"

Not long ago, Steven Soderberg, the director who provoked Zucker, complained in his eyes, "this bastard, totally ignored me!"

The invited guests couldn't help but wonder, and the organizers of this year's Oscars, no one dares to remind, can only ask the scene photographers, try not to make mistakes.

This is the real big guy!

The second watch is on.
