Hollywood Starts with Animation

Wald Pictures.

Bill McNick Sr., Kevin Feige, and Zach Snyder sat in the conference room for a meeting.

That's right, one more Zach Snyder.

Zach is a director and has made many films for Wald Pictures. In the eyes of the outside world, he has long been labeled as Wald Pictures. Not long ago, he accepted the invitation of Zucker and Old Bill to officially serve as the production director of the production department of Wald Pictures, effectively becoming one of the executives of Wald Pictures.

"I heard that Mr. Wald was back in Los Angeles yesterday?" Zach asked.

Old Bill nodded and said: "Yes, Alexander personally went to the airport to pick him up. It is said that Mr. Wald's team has also added a few think tanks, but I don't know exactly who it is."

As a company executive, being able to keep abreast of the dynamics of your boss is a required course for professional managers in North America.

Well, it's also the way to survive.

Kevin Feige echoed: "Mr. Wald's think tank members, I know one - Baggio Lister Jr. He was the vice president of Aviva (Business Alliance Insurance) in the United Kingdom before. On the Lipot and the Philosopher's Stone project, I have had contact with him in the UK's publicity, and he is a very good guy, and information collection is his specialty."

Old Bill and Zach nodded.

"Zach, you are now the director of the production department, and you are still in charge of the filming of the movie "Shark Shore", what is the current situation?" Old Bill asked.

Zach responded: "Mr. McNick, the Shark Shore film was completed yesterday, and it is expected to be completed before the end of June."

Speaking of the "Shark Shore" movie, Zack Snyder couldn't help but get excited, because it was the first movie he could get a personal director bonus.

In the following time, Vice President Kevin Feige also told the two about his recent work.

The first to be confirmed is the movie "The Butterfly Effect", which will be released in the United States on April 19.

"Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan co-directed "The Butterfly Effect", and we should increase the efforts of the two in publicity. We must pay attention to the project of star directors." Old Bill said solemnly.

star director?

Since ancient times, the most popular group of people in Hollywood have always been the actors standing in front of the stage. When it comes to their popularity among the general public, as a director at the core of a movie, they can only stand back. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer:

Old Bill said with a smile: "Although the current Internet bubble has greatly hurt the market environment, we can still see that the future belongs to the Internet. With the spread of the Internet, the director's personal popularity will never be inferior to Star actors, therefore, we have to create a group of star directors in advance."

The star director building plan was the plan that Bill old mentioned at the meeting not long ago.

A well-known actor has a huge appeal for a movie and can improve the box office performance, but... is the director not good enough?

Do not!

The director also has a huge appeal!

Spielberg, James Cameron and other big directors, with their own names, can attract a large number of moviegoers to buy tickets.

However, the fact is that directors who can have a strong market appeal were really few, very few, in the early 2000s.

"Since we don't have a star director,

Then we will create star directors and directors with market appeal~”

I have to say that Comrade Bill Old is quite courageous!

Todd Phillips, whose future "The Hangover" film series, "Joker 2019", is a rare good movie;

Christopher Nolan, it doesn't have to be much, he directed the "Batman Dark Knight" trilogy, which has been talked about by countless fans.

At present, the two of them, plus one Zack Snyder, make up a total of 3 people. They are the directors who are highly praised by Wald Pictures and even the entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and they are also the face of the "star director" project. .

"ninth District";

"The Queen Wears Prada";

These two movies, after Hollywood entered the 21st century, are also very good movies, and they have achieved quite good box office.

But......

Now these two films have been "plagiarized" by Zu Ke again and entered the script library of Wald Pictures.

Kevin Feige said: "My plan is to have Christopher Nolan directing 'District 9' and Todd Phillips directing 'The Devil Wears Prada', as long as these two films are successful again, Coupled with the promotion of our entire group, it is obvious that the director has created a plan, and it is a success!"

Some people may ask, after they become star directors, will they make movies for other film and television companies?

The answer is yes!

Looking at the entire Hollywood, only a very few directors are tied to a film and television company. The vast majority of directors are mobile and will shoot movies for many film companies in their lifetimes.

Zucker's company turned the directors into star directors, and they turned around and ran to make movies for other companies. Did Zucker suffer?

It is a loss, but from a long-term perspective, it is not a loss!

Once Wald Pictures completes the "star director" plan, it will definitely be a huge attraction for directors who are not yet famous, which can further enhance the influence of Wald Pictures.

That alone is worth a thousand dollars!

Besides, befriending a star director is itself an intangible asset of a film and television company.

You went to another company to make movies, but that doesn't mean you can make movies for Wald Pictures again in the future.

Human relationships are not only unique to the Great Celestial Dynasty, they also exist all over the world!

At the end of the meeting, Old Bill revealed a message.

"Two, I am very grateful for the time I have worked with you." Old Bill smiled.

"Uh?"

Hearing this, Kevin and Zach were taken aback for a moment.

"Mr. McNick, you mean...you want to retire...retire?!" Kevin Feige said in astonishment.

"No?" Zach asked in surprise.

"Ha ha!"

Old Bill smiled and said, "You two, I'm 69 years old this year, and it's time to enjoy my old age."

In fact, Comrade Old Bill is also a master who refuses to admit defeat, but Naihe's body really can't bear it.

During the filming of the movie "Spider-Man", Old Bill was responsible for the post of producer, and he was hospitalized three times.

Old Bill spread his hands and said again: "No regrets. When I was kicked out by 20th Century Fox a few years ago, I thought my movie life was over. But... just when I was at my lowest point. At the time, it was Zucker, who I once hated so much, who handed me an olive branch, and I have been very satisfied in the past few years."

Throughout the narrative, Old Bill's face is full of kindness and contentment.

Especially in the face of Zu Ke, his mood is also extremely complicated. After all, he once hated Zucker so much, and it was all because of the Titanic movie.

But now, this old man who has been in Hollywood all his life, as he said, can shine again when he is nearly 70 years old, and he has no regrets in his life.
