Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Nice guy, thank you for coming to work on the WB TV network. I believe that the WB TV network will definitely live up to your talent." Zhu Ke said old-fashioned.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Ray Warner is excited now.

Zucker asked, "I heard from you just now that you are a screenwriting student at Melbourne Film and Television School. How did you choose to take the path of being a host? The screenwriting department of Wald Pictures, don't you think about it?"

Ray Warner shook his head and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I'm actually not very interested in the screenwriting job."

screenwriter? not interested?

What the hell!

At this moment, Zu Ke just wanted to scold his mother.

If you are not interested, you can actually write a horror movie like "The Chainsaw" that can be recorded in film history?

In addition, there are "Dead Silence", "Hidden", "The Invisible Man", "The Mule", "Upgrade"......

In the future, aren't all these movie scripts written by you?

If you are interested, you can't go to heaven!

"Well, I respect your opinion."

Zhu Ke smiled and said with a smile: "However, if one day you are suddenly interested in the screenwriting industry again, and you have written a script, you can contact me at any time."

As he spoke, Zucker handed Ray Warner a card of his own.

Man, that's the Chainsaw movie!

As of 2020, 8 films have been produced in this series, and Kuo has achieved quite good box office results, with a single film of nearly 100 million US dollars, and there are 8 of them. Do you think that people like Zhu Ke will miss this little golden mountain?

Certainly not to be missed, and must be firmly grasped!

After chatting for a while, little Sack and Warner left. After all, Zucker and old Bill still had something to talk about.

"ninth District";

"The Queen Wears Prada";

These two films are Wald Pictures,

Project focus in the near future.

"Bill, I watched the production department's capital planning for the "District 9" project, and the production cost was $60 million." Zucker said.

"Are you in doubt about this?"

Old Bill looked at Zucker suspiciously: "Boss, for a sci-fi film like "District 9", the production cost of $60 million is enough, and there is no need to increase the production cost."

To be honest, for a sci-fi film, of course, the higher the cost, the better, so that the special effects of the film can be very brilliant.

"Ha ha!"

Zucker suddenly laughed: "On the contrary, I think the production cost of 60 million US dollars is too high. Well, you think 30 million US dollars, how?"

puff~

Old Bill, who was drinking water, suddenly choked at this moment, and the ground was wet, thanks to Zucker being far enough away.

"Zuck, what are you kidding?!"

Old Bill, whose face was blushing, suddenly said angrily, "What's enough for a $30 million sci-fi movie? Isn't this waiting to be slapped in the face by others?"

Old Bill was indeed a little angry.

Sci-fi movies are all about special effects!

He knew that Zucker was a very stingy master, but he never thought that Zucker would be so stingy. The "Spider-Man" movie is also a sci-fi movie, but its production cost is as high as 150 million US dollars, which is a proper Hollywood A-level first-line commercial production.

"Zuck, you've already made billions of dollars in the Nasdaq stock market, how come you're still so obsessed with your movie project? Well, so, if you really think "District 9" is 60 million The production cost of US dollars is high, let’s lower it a little, and $50 million is the minimum.” Old Bill argued with reason.

"Hahaha~"

Zhu Ke looked at the old Bill at the moment and couldn't help thinking that he was very cute.

The angry old Bill was indeed very responsible.

This made Zucker very happy.

"Old guy, do you remember "Blair Witch" in 1999?" Zuke asked solemnly with a straight face.

Old Bill frowned momentarily.

Zucker said immediately: "The reason why "Blair Witch" can achieve such high box office results has a huge relationship with the fraudulent and viral propaganda we use, but ... the pseudo-documentary method it created is very Worth learning."

Fake documentaries?

For a time, Old Bill did not refute immediately, but fell into thinking.

In the history of the original time and space, the "Ninth District" movie is definitely a very well-known movie.

All audiences and the media have rated it very highly.

"A forward-thinking film, a parable about life." The New York Times.

"It turns out that sci-fi doesn't have to be star-studded, over-budget, visually appealing, or outright entertaining." USA Today.

"The 9th District, which cost $30 million to make, is no less than a sci-fi film that cost hundreds of millions to make!" "Chicago Tribune".

"A true, authentic sci-fi movie that captivates you from the start and keeps audiences hooked until the end." The Hollywood Reporter.

The film restores the suffering of aliens on the earth through the method of pseudo-documentary, breaking the audience's inherent "alien invasion of the earth" idea.

Aliens come to earth and are enslaved!

The film's conception is different. Once it was released, it attracted a large number of audiences. The box office performance in North America alone was as high as 120 million US dollars, which is enough to prove its excellence.

"Old Bill, think about it. A sci-fi movie costs only $30 million to make, but it's as exciting as a movie with a production cost of hundreds of millions. Isn't that a huge gimmick in itself?" Zucker laughed.

Hearing this, Old Bill nodded heavily.

He was persuaded.

Similarly, with the explosion of "Blair Witch", its pseudo-documentary method has been criticized by fans and fans.

"But if we use the pseudo-documentary method well, then it will definitely be a booster for the film to get a high box office." Zucker continued to explain.

Old Bill's eyes lit up immediately.

In the end, he very much agreed with Zucker's proposal.

"The Ninth District" will be filmed using pseudo-documentary techniques;

The production cost of the film will be adjusted from the initial $60 million to $30 million.

For Christopher Nolan, a sci-fi movie with a novel angle and high conception has no problem at all. Zucker has confidence in him and believes that he can do better than the original director.

The name of God Nolan is not a vain name, especially in science fiction movies.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a workplace, inspirational, comedy-type film, and Zucker is also confident in Todd Phillips as the director.

The "Hangover" movie he shot is a shit comedy, but his ability to control comedy is definitely not bad, and he knows very well what the excitement of the American audience is.

The third update of "" was sent, and the author of Aojiao continued to open the code.
