Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Everyone has it. I announce that the filming of "Fruit Hard Candy" has been successfully completed!"

As director Zack Snyder's voice fell, all the crew members burst into unprecedented enthusiasm and joy.

"awesome!"

"Yes, we have completed another theatrical film!"

"Two weeks of script finalization, two weeks of pre-shooting preparations, and now four weeks of filming, we have gone through 56 days."

"Man, where is this going? We still have post-work to do!"

The enthusiasm of the people around is fire.

Zucker is no exception. Although the film "Hard Candy" is not his first film, it is his first film as a producer, and there is a lot of sweat and bitterness in it.

"Zach, congratulations on your successful directing of this film." Zucker thanked the director.

Hearing this, Zach Snyder nodded heavily, "Mr. Wald, it's me who wants to thank you, you...you know, I'm a MV director, and I dream of making a real movie The movie you gave..."

While talking, Zha Dao suddenly burst into tears.

Weeping!

He is 31 years old this year!

However, since he started working as an MV director in 1990, he has been preparing to enter Hollywood to make real movies, but the reality has hit him again and again.

The heads of countless film companies said to him: "Man, aren't you a director who makes music videos and commercials? Can you make real movies? Why do you make us pay millions of dollars to trust you?"

The blows over and over again made him feel unbearable.

It was not until the appearance of Zucker that he was able to usher in his moment!

"Okay man, all the suffering is over." Zucker said and patted Zach on the shoulder, a holy smile on his face.

"thanks, thanks!"

Zach Snyder burst into tears, but he kept saying his thanks to Zucker.

The Hulk who played the male lead, oh no, it was Mark Ruffalo who wasn't much better at the moment, and he was crying too.

"I want to thank Mr. Wald too!"

Mark Ruffalo is also 30 years old this year.

"Hard Candy" is his first film as a male lead, or to be more precise, his first film with a main role. Before that, he has always played the role of an extra. Not only that, but he doesn't have a steady job and can only subsidize his rent by doing gardening and painters.

In recent years, he has participated in about 800 auditions, but failed once.

In addition, he worked as a bartender for almost ten years!

To put it bluntly, he, Mark Ruffalo, is middle-aged and has achieved nothing!

It was also the appearance of Zucker and Wald Pictures that opened a new life for him.

"Okay Mark, you're so old and you're still crying. Look, if you keep crying, little Scarlett should laugh at you." Zuke laughed bluntly.

"Uh......."

Hearing this, Mark Ruffalo blushed at the moment.

Scarlett Johansson herself laughed even more.

"Mark, and Zach, you're really ugly looking like you're crying~!"

Despite her young age, Scarlett Johansson is only 13 years old this year, but she has been an advertising model since she was 8 years old and has acted in several films. Although her role is not large, her years of experience on the set still make her understand a little bit. A little bit of Zach's mood.

"Look at it, look at it all. I'll just say little Scarlett is going to laugh at you guys."

Zucker laughed and cursed.

At this moment, a studio staff whispered a few words in Zucker's ear.

Hearing this, Zucker shouted to everyone on the spot: "Everyone, tonight in my villa, there will be a finale banquet of "Hard Candy", which is also the "Lola Run" produced by our Wald Pictures. The box office results, the celebration banquet that successfully exceeded 16 million US dollars, please be sure to appreciate it!"

"boss~~!"

In an instant, thunderous shouts erupted from the scene.

Zucker's luxury villa is not a secret in everyone's mouth, and it is known that Zucker himself has never lived there once. Now it is used to hold a killing banquet and a celebration banquet, which shows that Zucker attaches great importance to the crew and the film.

Pay attention to?

It's true that Zucker really values ​​the crew, including them, but that's not the main reason for the party at Zuckera's Villa.

"Damn it! It seems that I'm buying people's hearts, and the effect is really good." Zu Ke's heart moved.

........

That night.

In a luxury villa in Burbank, Wald Pictures threw a very lavish party, well, well, it didn't cost much, $120,000. This money is really not a lot of money for Zucker, who has now won a 40% stake in icq.

Now Zucker's net worth has exceeded 40 million US dollars, of course, including real estate and stocks. Even so, Zucker can still be a rich man.

The crew of "Lola Run", including lead actors Charlize Theron and James McAvoy; the crew of "Buckfruit", director Zach Snyder, actors Mark Ruffalo and James McAvoy Carrie Johansson and others, all attended tonight's party.

In addition, the directors of the two film crews of "Fatal Bend" and "Juno" were also invited to attend.

John Lasseter, the leader of Pixar's five tigers, Billy Sr., a chain store owner in Utah, and Baldy Bay, the president of Amazon who came from Seattle, were also on the list.

Time passed slowly.

The party tonight was a success!

Not only did it make everyone extravagant, but it also successfully maintained the relationship between Zhu Ke's network circle, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After the party, Zucker left the three behind.

own CEO Victor;

Old Billy's of the chain around Utah;

Amazon's president is bald head.

"Zuke, my friend, I'm not too young. If you don't tell me the reason for leaving us, don't blame my old man for losing his temper."

Old Billy pretended to be angry.

Zuke immediately laughed and scolded: "Old Billy, I don't dare to make you lose your temper, who doesn't know that although you old Billy is living in Utah, you old guy is a down-to-earth Texan. If I offend you, I can't prevent you from shooting me down one day!"

"It's good if you know." Old Billy was very proud.

Don't look at Zucker and old Billy, they are more than 30 years apart in age, but their personalities are unexpectedly similar.

Bei's bald head smiled and said nothing.

"Victor, you show Mr. Bezos the information." Zucker said to Victor.

Bei Guangtou was stunned.

However, he still took the information and looked at it.

"Mr. Bezos, we, boos, left you tonight just to negotiate a business cooperation with you, mainly the online sales of movie peripheral products," Victor said.

"Oh? Is there a movie merchandising sale?"

"It's not impossible."

Today's Amazon e-commerce store mainly sells books, so it is also called an "online bookstore", but Beibei's bald head is shrewd, of course, he is not willing to just sell books, and now it is just dormant.

"Crack~!"

Zucker slapped his thigh and said, "Look, you Bezos has an online platform, I have a film company and surrounding stores, and Old Billy also has 9 stores in Utah, not only that, but his son is a Utah, There are several logistics company owners in Nevada and California, and the three of us can combine them to sell products other than books on Amazon, creating a new situation in one fell swoop.”

Old Billy: "..."

Bei bald head: "......"

When the voice fell, both of them were stunned.

However, they did not expressly object, but fell into contemplation.

After a long time, Bei's bald head suddenly looked at Zuke with a smile and said: "Mr. Wald, old Billy's son has a logistics company. German Films is inconspicuous, if I choose, I will definitely choose a big company for cooperation.”

Hearing this, Zhu Ke smiled without saying a word, and didn't react, but Old Billy was silent.
