Hollywood Starts with Animation

Victor Jones, a talent who has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years, prepared a shooting team in less than three days.

"Everyone, you are all veterans who have worked in Hollywood for at least three years, so I will not talk nonsense. My request is very simple. You must complete the preparatory work for the film within three weeks."

At Zucker's home in Los Angeles, Zucker directly ordered everyone on the filming team.

The film "Lola Run" is just a small-budget movie, and the scenes are not complicated, mainly watch and convenience stores, as well as the scenes of the street. These sets are really not difficult for everyone in the shooting team, or they are very simple.

"I'm fine here." The set designer spoke first.

"I'm fine, too," said the prop master.

Next, the rest of the people also said: within three weeks, the preliminary preparations must be completed.

"Very good, I don't have much requirements for sets and props, just save money and be beautiful."

For today's exchange, Zhu Ke can be said to have exhausted his thoughts and pains.

Spent quite a few nights.

Just the concept map of the characters in the script, I drew more than 20 pages; as for the screenplay of the movie, I prepared hundreds of pages of explanations.

After all, who kept Zucker under 20?

Youth represents vitality and future potential, but it also means that it is easy to be despised!

It's true that Zucker is the boss of Wald Pictures, and it's also true that they are the financiers who paid them. However, Zhu Ke, who they know, is only a high school graduate and has no relevant experience in film and television production. He started out as a director, or made a movie that will be released in theaters. Even if the cost is low, it is not enough to be believed.

Therefore, even if Zucker prepares more, he will not be too much.

What's more, Zhu Ke herself was also the first time the big girl got on the sedan chair.

"I'm a director myself, but I don't actually want to make money. It's an obsession in my past life."

"Although Lao Tzu graduated from the directing department in his last life, his grades were just above average, and film and television dramas were never filmed at all."

Although Zucker has zero practical experience, he still has some confidence.

Because the film "Lola Run" has few scenes and is easy to shoot.

The most important thing is that when Zucker was in college in his last life, the school's teachers spent eight class hours analyzing the movie in great detail in terms of scenes, story background, characters, lighting, lines, etc.

Afterwards, a lot of homework was arranged.

Well, a lot of homework.

"Okay, just because I failed the homework several times, I was repeatedly trained five times, and I copied it fifty times only because of the punishment. Can I not be impressed now?" Zhu Ke couldn't help but pouted and cursed inwardly.

This is why Zucker has zero shooting experience, but still dares to try.

In the following time, Zhu Ke and the main responsible people of the shooting team began a seven-hour communication.

night.

After everyone in the shooting team left, Zucker was still struggling.

Today's short seven hours of communication, the rich experience of this group of people has indeed benefited Zhu Ke a lot. He also learned a lot of things he didn't understand before.

"The difference between having never made a movie and having made a movie is not that big!"

"'Lola Run' is Wald's first film, and it doesn't seek to be a big hit, but it has to guarantee success."

"Looks like I need to keep working hard!"

Zucker pondered over and over again. But at this moment, the doorbell rang.

Get up and open the door.

The people who came were a little surprising to Zu Ke, but they were reasonable.

Charlize Theron!

"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Huh? How did you come? You even brought a gift.

"Zuke staggered and let the emperor come in.

Charlize Theron was wearing a white dress today, with a low cut and no underwear. The whole person looked sexy and beautiful, and Zucker couldn't help swallowing.

What the hell!

What is this for?

Madam, I'm only 19 years old!

I am still a child!

"Charlize, don't you have to go to work today? I remember it's only 9 o'clock in the evening, and it's not yet time to get off work." Zhu Keqiang resisted the temptation and said.

"Boss, I'm on vacation today!"

Sai Huang glanced at Zhu Ke charmingly, and said coquettishly: "It's late for shopping today, I happened to be passing by here, and I wanted to come and see you. After all, you usually take care of me, and I brought you pizza by the way, or you like it. It tastes like seafood.”

Just passing by?

Stop by?

Usually take care of you?

"You fucking lie to the ghost! I'm in the suburbs, not the city center, so follow the ghost road! Besides, don't you always say that I'm a vampire behind your back?"

Of course, Zucker didn't say these words, he just complained in his heart dozens of times.

"I want to see how you perform next?"

Well, in fact, Zucker doesn't have to guess, he knows what she's doing here today.

It's nothing more than knowing that Zucker bought a film company and was about to start shooting the first movie, so he came to ask for a role.

in the next time.

Charlize Theron kept talking about the difficulties of coming from South Africa, the unfortunate family, thanking Zucker for the work, etc., and repeatedly mentioned his movie dream, playing emotional cards.

However, Zucker didn't accept the move at all!

While listening to her, look at the material in her hand.

"Damn boss, I have said it so clearly, why don't you go on the road and give me a role?" Sai Huang had a secret heart.

However, Zucker's inner activity is like this: "Just by saying a few nice words, you can get the role, is there such a cheap thing? Even if I started to save money, I planned to use it. You, but now that you are delivering it to your door, I don't want any benefit, so I'm going to lose it?"

Zucker is the kind of person who "if you don't pick up money when you go out, you will lose it", and he is best at climbing!

The rich taste its saltiness, the poor see its face!

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs run. Zhu Ke was in the entertainment industry in his last life, and he didn't miss those investors, directors, and producers, and he played unspoken rules with roles.

"Boss, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."

In the end, Sai Huang glanced at Zhu Ke speechlessly, and left angrily.

When she walked to the door, she gave her a blank look, as if to say, "Are you trying to hide the rules? If so, you can remind me to understand it later. I don't even understand your attitude."

Well, Zucker is inexperienced after all!

How to operate the unspoken rules, Zhu Ke does not understand!

Madam, I am still a child!

I don't understand, but you teach me!

......

During the preparation of "Lola Run", Zucker also took time to go to a law firm and paid them to design a tax avoidance plan for himself.

Yes, it is tax avoidance!

It's been almost half a year since Zucker's time traveled, and relying on the information given by the system and his own efforts, he has earned nearly 30 million US dollars in assets from the stocks of Netscape and Pixar, and the peripherals of "Toy Story". .

It can be described as a brilliant victory!

However, from the end of February to April every year, it is a headache for the entire American citizen to pay taxes!

"If I don't do a tax avoidance plan, how much money will I have to lose!" Zucker scolded the American tax agency in his heart.

"Mr. Wald, please rest assured that our firm will definitely design an excellent tax avoidance plan for you in the short term." The middle-aged elite lawyer said confidently.

Uh, he is still a Chinese, a second-generation immigrant, his name is Zhang Wei, nicknamed Snake!

"Very good. By the way, I have one more thing for you."

"Please say."

"It's not a big deal, it's just the copyright registration of a cartoon and an infant education series."

"What about specifics? Scope of application? Is it limited to North America, or does it include Europe and Asia?"

......

The purpose of Zhu Ke's visit today, in addition to tax avoidance, is to apply for the entrustment of copyright registration.

The cartoon to apply for copyright is named: SpongeBob SquarePants.

To apply for the infant education series titled: Teletubbies.

I have to say, Zhu Ke is a chicken thief.

"SpongeBob SquarePants" has the information provided by the system, so it's not a problem to apply for copyright registration, but "Teletubbies", where does Zhu Ke have detailed information?

Although Zucker can't remember the specific content of Teletubbies, he has seen it in his last life, and more than once.

There is no need to be specific at all, as long as the registered content, including the protagonist's image, name, content theme, story outline, etc., is completely legal in terms of legal provisions. That is to say, as long as the application can be completed, then the extremely influential work "Teletubbies" must belong to the old Zhu family from now on!

In fact, the TV series "Teletubbies" is only suitable for children under the age of 8. Well, it is relatively naive, but it makes money!

Selling copyrights in dozens of countries, can you make money?

"Zuke, you are really a clever little ghost!" Zucker praised to himself.
