Chapter 538

A few days later.

Still on vacation, Zhuke accepted an invitation to participate in an activity called young directors exchange meeting.

In recent days, some tired Zhuke initially refused to participate in this activity.

Why can't James Cameron be invited many times!

Yes, the sponsor of this youth director exchange activity is James Cameron, the internationally famous director who produced Titanic!

"Boss, I just got the list of people from the organizer, but as far as I know, it is estimated that half of the people on the invitation list will not be able to come."

Alexander explained the situation to Zucker as the team was about to arrive at the venue.

Half of the invitees are not coming?

Zhuke nodded: "in fact, it's understandable. After all, it's the end of May, and it's in the best summer season."

In late May, Hollywood's major production and distribution companies, including well-known directors, are almost at the busiest time of the year.

Take over the list.

Before getting off the bus, Zhuke read the list of invited guests on the bus.

Leon Reeves;

Herat Anderson;

K. J. Edward;

......

Lawrence M. white;

After reading several pages of information about the invited guests in a row, Zhuke awoke to the fact that the young directors on this list were almost unknown to him.

"Who are these people?"

Zhuke really doesn't know or understand these young directors.

Alexander said: "boss, James Cameron initiated this youth director exchange activity. After all, it's a young director. It's normal that you don't know him."

Zhuke rolled his eyes. "Do you know him?"

"Ha ha!"

Alexander said with a smile, "boss, I did some homework before I came here. Of course, if I didn't prepare lessons, I don't know a few of them. "

After all, he is only Zhuke's assistant. If he were replaced by the executives of the production department of Wald pictures, he would be able to tell the history of the young directors on the list one by one.

It's just that there's a specialty.

"Why?"

Zhuke turned a few pages of information again, and in the last few pages, he saw the names of familiar people.

"In this list, there are finally directors I know."

[file: 009]

Name: Gus Van Sant.

Gender: male.

Age: 49.

Occupation: film director.

Representative works: deep night, love is hard to sing, unruly sky, heart catcher, looking for frost

"It's him."

"Deep night, love is hard to sing" is Gus Van Sant's first personal film, and is said to be the world's first film about homosexual love. "

"Of course, his most famous film" the elephant "has not been made yet, otherwise his reputation will go up to a new level."

In 2003, the film elephant directed by Gus Van Sant won the best director award at the 56th Cannes Film Festival. The box office performance of the film is also good.

Name: Pedro amodova (Spain).

Gender: male.

Age: 52 years old.

Occupation: film director.

Representative works: bind me, bind me, live color and fragrance

"Hiss ~"

"Crouching trough, it's this guy!"

Zucker was slightly surprised.

It's not because of how good Pedro amodova is at directing, but because the series of films he directed are works of great scale, which make people feast their eyes.

For example, "tie me, tie me" and "live color makes fragrance" are two movies in many countries. Because of their large scale, they can't enter the cinema market at all.

Forbidden film, proper forbidden film!

Pedro amodova himself is also known by many as "the first person to ban a film.".

...

[file: 027]

Name: Ron Wiseman.

Gender: male.

Age: 28 years old.

Occupation: film editor.

Representative works: independence day, man in black, Godzilla

Evaluation: with professional background as a director, he did not enter Hollywood as a director in the first step, but became an experienced film worker as a film editor.

"Ron Wiseman? It's a familiar name. "

"Eh?"

"I remember!"

"It's him! Ron Wiseman, the man who created the "Legend of the night" series

"Legend of the dark night" series is nothing in Hollywood's classic series. After all, compared with the "back to the future" trilogy, the Matrix trilogy, Batman trilogy and so on, it really has nothing to lose.

However, "Legend of the night" series of films since its birth, still left a deep impression on Zhuke.

The war between werewolf and vampire, Kate Beckinsale, a black windbreaker, dark Gothic style

These scenes are still fresh in my mind.

Although the box office of each film in the "Legend of the dark night" series does not sell well, it can't stand it. The cost of a single film is low, which can bring a very considerable return to the production company.

The production cost of "Legend of the night 1" is 17 million US dollars, and the global box office is 97 million US dollars;

The production cost of "Legend of the night 2" is 21 million US dollars, and the global box office is 120 million US dollars;

The production cost of "Legend of the night 3" is 29 million US dollars, and the global box office is 135 million US dollars;

"Legend of the night: the werewolf prequel", its global box office is more than 360 million U.S. dollars;

Every movie in the series, it makes money!

In particular, the sales and leasing of DVD and video tapes in the offline market are not low.

Zucker is a bit greedy.

"Today, the Hollywood industry defines Ron Wiseman as a film editor, not a director, so we can work together."

......

In half an hour.

Zucker's team arrived at the Pasha Hotel, where the event was held.

Pasha hotel?

Well, it's also an industry under the name of Zucker.

Zucker's hotel industry has just started, with only three hotels in the United States. One is in downtown Los Angeles, one is in Burbank's imposing Zhuke 1 shooting base, and the last one is in New York.

"Hi, junk, my friend. Welcome."

As soon as Zhuke arrived at the venue, he was warmly welcomed by James Cameron, the sponsor and well-known director of the event.

"My friend, I mean it. Knowing that you are too troublesome to participate in such activities, I have specially placed the venue in your name's Pasha hotel. What about? Do you think I'm very careful and considerate? " Cameron laughs.

Zhuke can't help but smile: "I said, old man, you pay attention, I know, but you don't have to say it, it seems that you are too fake."

Cameron laughed and didn't care.

Enter the hotel.

Not long after, they came to the 12th floor of the hotel, which is the venue of the youth director exchange.

"Long time no see, juke."

Xie Yi, the boss of new line pictures, came over with a smile on his face.

He was followed by a middle-aged man with a big beard.

Shea said, "I'd like to introduce you, Zhuk. This is Peter Jackson, a director from New Zealand. He is..."

Before he finished, Zhuk interrupted, "I know, he's the director of the Lord of the rings."

"How could you know?" Shea was immediately surprised.

Director Peter Jackson also has some doubts. After all, he is not famous in Hollywood at all. He is not much worse than those new directors.

At this time, the movie "Lord of the rings" has not been released.

But... Jack knows him!

In a short time, Peter Jackson's name will resound through the world and become a famous international director.

"The Lord of the rings" trilogy, heaven and man who do not know the king?!

In the future, he will shoot the Hobbit film series, which is also a global sale.

"The first watch" is presented.
