Hollywood Starts with Animation

the next day.

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

"Alexander, this is the script I wrote recently. You can get it to the Screenwriters Guild and the Copyright Application Department and register it."

Soon after Zucker joined the company, he gave Alexander three screenplays.

"Shark Beach";

"Napoleon the Great";

"The Butterfly Effect";

"Boss, is there a total of three screenplays?" Alexander asked.

"That's right. How soon can you get it done?" Zucker said.

Hearing this, Alexander immediately said: "Boss, our Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group is quite large now, and Wald Pictures is also a leader in Hollywood's second-tier companies. Three days, at most seven days, the copyright can be registered."

Zucker nodded in relief.

That's the benefit of big companies!

Generally speaking, it takes a long time for an ordinary screenwriter to submit a script and register with the screenwriters union and the copyright application department. It usually takes 15 to 45 days; however, it is different for big film companies. These departments will give priority to review, 3 to 7 days. Time will do it.

"These guys in charge of copyright registration are all ignorant of others."

Zhu Ke sighed: "I will always remember in the early 1996, when I started filming the first movie "Lola Run", those people dragged me for 42 days before I got the copyright registration."

Alexander smiled and did not speak.

Looking around the world, priority and queue cutting tools exist, provided you have the strength!

There is no doubt that Zucker is now the powerful group.

After Alexander left, Zucker took out three original drafts of the movie script and took a look.

Wald Pictures is indeed developing well at present. However, compared with large companies, the ability to write scripts and accept external scripts is indeed much worse than that of large companies; Hollywood's gold screenwriters, the works they wrote are basically the same. Hollywood's six private plots,

It simply does not allow other medium and small film companies to intervene.

What can Zucker do?

Of course, it is his own hard plagiarism!

"Fortunately, I have seen a lot of Hollywood movies in my past life, otherwise it would be difficult to plagiarize them now."

Of course, Zhu Ke plagiarized the script, and it was impossible to completely restore the original script.

Zucker is a man, not a god!

It can only be written to the maximum extent, but it is left to the company's screenwriters to supplement it.

Three easy drafts.

Strive to be the best!

dong dong dong~~~!

At this moment, the door of Zucker's office was knocked.

"Come in!"

The person who walked in was Christopher Nolan.

"Hey, Nolan, you're here, come in and sit."

Seeing that it was Nolan, Zucker was naturally very happy. This was his favorite. Moreover, Zucker also pointed out that he made more money for himself in the future.

"Mr. Wald, are you asking me for a new movie to shoot?" Nolan said straight to the point.

Zucker nodded immediately!

"The Butterfly Effect"

Not long after Zucker finished writing this script, he first thought of Christopher Nolan when he was looking for a director.

"The Butterfly Effect" tells a story that travels through time and space.

"A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with the occasional flap of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later."

The male protagonist is unwilling to be wasted by fate, annoyed by those bad situations again and again, and damaged his supposedly perfect life.

An accidental discovery, he traveled through time and space! ! !

Everything he changed in the past, when he returned to the present time and space, found that they had unintended consequences, and the damage was worse, and things got worse and worse. In order to make up for the mistake, the male protagonist went back to the past again to try to eliminate the traces, but it backfired, and what he did can only lead to the gradual collapse of the real world again.

So over and over again!

He rushes between the increasingly chaotic past and reality, to the point of no return.

Unfortunate time and time again, the actor almost collapsed!

The movie "The Butterfly Effect" also has three endings.

One of the endings is tragic. In order to salvage the worsening situation, the male protagonist actually traveled back to the mother's body and strangled himself with the umbilical cord.

Overall, the film is a tragic story!

"Nolan, what do you think after reading it?" Zucker took a sip of coffee.

"The overall setting is very good."

After putting down the script, Nolan said: "The Butterfly Effect involves knowledge of psychology, psychiatry and chaos theory, and I have come into contact with a lot of this part. Mr. Wald, you now let me be the director. I am absolutely delighted. OK."

"Hahaha, what I want is your confidence!" Zucker immediately applauded.

"good."

Nolan is confident.

As long as you have watched Nolan's "Inception", you will find that he is very good at these crazy settings!

He can handle such fragmentary details and fragments of "Memento", let alone "Butterfly Effect"?

I have to say that Nolan is very suitable as the director of "The Butterfly Effect".

"Butterfly Effect" was released in the original time and space in 2004. It was produced and produced by New Line Pictures, with a production cost of 12 million US dollars and a North American box office of more than 57 million US dollars;

It was also shown in overseas countries and regions, and it also achieved relatively good box office results.

The film's reviews and reviews are also very good.

The score on IMB is as high as 8.7 points, which is a very good low-cost soft science fiction feature film.

In the original time and space, New Line Pictures produced three films of this series in one go, and each one made a lot of money.

"$12 million production cost?"

"Ha ha!"

"This publicized data report was given by New Line Cinema."

"Who in Hollywood doesn't know the notoriety of New Line Cinema? The production cost is said to be $12 million, but the actual estimate is less than $8 million, or even lower."

In this way, the film "Butterfly Effect" was officially approved.

Of course, the script also needs to be polished by the screenwriters of Nolan and Wald Pictures. After all, Zucker is not a professional screenwriter.

"The Shark", "Napoleon the Big Man"......

The above two scripts are also small-budget movies carefully prepared by Zucker.

When a film company produces a film project, it cannot blindly pursue high-cost blockbusters. It must produce a sufficient number of low-cost films to maintain the company's profitability and basic vitality.

The two low-budget films "Shark Shore" and "Napoleon the Big Shot" are very good.

The 234th chapter of "Shark Beach", "Butterfly Effect", is a story about only one heroine, one person fighting sharks on the beach, and the production cost is only 300,000 US dollars.

However, it is such a movie made of 300,000 US dollars that when it was released in 2016, it achieved a North American box office of more than 21 million US dollars; and it also achieved good income in the offline DVD market.

Even in the Datianchao market, the film achieved a box office of over 50 million yuan in its first week.

You know, it's not a high-budget blockbuster!

"Napoleon the Big Man" is also a small-budget film, with a production cost of only $5 million, but it has achieved a North American box office of more than $50 million.

In overseas markets, it has even more than 100 million US dollars at the box office.

"High-quality and low-cost movies are my favorite." Classmate Zhu Hao went online again.

That night.

Zhu Ke did not go home, but went to Jinshuguang TV Group to watch TV with group executives including Ms. Donna, the president of the group!

That's right, watching TV!

The first TV series "Prison Break" produced by the group will be officially launched on the WB TV station under the group at 8 o'clock tonight!

The TV series "Prison Break" is a key project operated by the entire group this year and the beginning of a series of follow-up plans!

Zucker attaches great importance to it!
