Hollywood Starts with Animation

May 4.

The film "Tomb Raider", co-produced and distributed by Zucker as a producer, Paramount and Wald Pictures, will officially start shooting at Paramount's film and television base today.

Director: Simon West;

Chief Producer: Zucker Wald;

Executive Producer: Tom Harris;

Writer-in-chief: Zucker Wald;

Actress: Angelina Jolie;

Actor: Oh, it's not important to this film at all;

Total production cost: $80 million.

Although the film "Tomb Raider" has already held a press conference for its launch before, when the day of the filming really came, it still attracted a large number of media reporters, rushing to come to report.

However, this time Zucker did not give an interview.

Even the entire "Tomb Raider" crew declined to be interviewed.

Dude, the filming started today, so it doesn't make much sense to be interviewed. After all, I'm still in a hurry before the movie is released.

"Thank you again, Mr. Wald."

In front of Zucker, a young man with yellow skin and black hair expressed his gratitude to Zucker very excitedly.

"You're welcome, you are a classmate of Little Sark, and I think your potential is good. I think you should be supported." Zu Ke was very enthusiastic.

His name is James Wen. He is 23 years old this year. He graduated from Melbourne Film and Television School, Australia. He is of Chinese Australian origin and his ancestral home is Malaysia.

As a young director who just walked out of school, he just came to Hollywood and came into contact with a Hollywood tycoon like Zucker. His excitement overflowed completely on his face.

"Thank you~"

Not to mention James Wing, even those long-established directors in Hollywood will not have the courage to refuse the olive branch thrown by Zucker.

This is the current power of Zucker in Hollywood!

"Mr Wald,

Director Simon West asked me to inform you that filming will begin in 10 minutes, and he asked you to get ready. "

A voice sounded not far from Zucker.

The person who came was the assistant to the producer of the "Tomb Raider" crew - Zack McNick Jr.

Little Sark was brought into the group by Zucker, but he was the grandson of old Bill.

Otherwise, a fledgling newcomer wants to become a producer assistant for a movie with an investment of 80 million US dollars.

"Okay, I see, you tell Director Simon, I'll be there in a moment," Zucker glanced at his watch.

"Understood, boss." Little Sark agreed and left in a hurry.

He is such a flamboyant and energetic young man.

Of course, when he left, he deliberately winked at James Wen. After all, the two of them, plus Ray Warner, were both classmates at Melbourne Film and Television School; moreover, James Wen was able to get this job. The opportunity was introduced by him.

Zuke looked at James Wing in front of him again and patted him on the shoulder: "Now, I'll give you the opportunity to be the assistant director of the movie "Tomb Raider", as for how much you can learn, it's up to you already."

"I will not disappoint your expectations," James Wing assured loudly.

James Wing also clenched his fists to bolster his confidence.

As soon as he left school, he served as the assistant director of a film with an investment of 80 million US dollars, which was a very high start.

You must know that even a talented director like Zack Snyder was in the advertising circle and MTV circle, wandering for several years before he was able to enter Hollywood!

Even if the assistant directors in the film crew are mostly doing odd jobs, there is not only one assistant director, but this opportunity is indeed very rare, and it is the object of the envy of many people.

"Boss, do you think he can be made?"

The chief assistant Alexander looked at James Wen Yuan's back and said, "There are not 100,000 young directors like this in Hollywood, and there are definitely more than 10,000 people. I haven't found his shining point for the time being."

"Hehe, you know shit!" Zu Ke couldn't help laughing and scolding.

Alexander: "......"

Youth director James Wing, he has no bright spot?

Isn't this Nima kidding? !

James Wen, also known as Wen Ziren, is the director who will be dubbed the "King of Horror Movies" in the future.

"Chainsaw", "Dead Silence", "Hidden", "The Conjuring"  …

These well-known horror movies are all created by James Wen.

At the same time, the film director of "Speed ​​​​and Passion 7" and "Aquaman" has achieved terrifying box office worldwide, and it is James Wen.

Especially his famous work "Chainsaw"!

With a production cost in the early $1 million, it has created a blockbuster film that has swept the global box office, and has achieved a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars.

The most critical is the "Chainsaw" movie, which is a series of movies;

In other words, it can continue to shoot, and it can continuously send dollars to Zucker, which is basically a gold mine.

"Mother of Chainsaw" Ray Warner, currently works for Zucker's WB TV network, and he will be the screenwriter and actor of the movie "Chainsaw" in the future;

Now, James Wing is also working under Zucker.

"Hehe~"

Zucker couldn't help thinking: "The Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious, The Conjuring and other movies will also belong to Wald movies, and belong to me, Zucker Wald."

Even Zucker couldn't help but imagine that he could imitate the Marvel Cinematic Universe to create a horror movie universe.

......

Ten minutes passed quickly.

With Zucker's nod and an order from director Simon West, the film "Tomb Raider" officially started filming.

Angelina Jolie, who plays the heroine Laura, was the first to appear in the camera, with a clean and sassy look that made people's eyes shine.

"Hey, what a pretty girl!"

"His pair is really good enough. There is something padded inside."

"Sure, even the hips are padded."

"Wow, Angelina Jolie's leotard look alone is definitely worth bringing a lot of moviegoers to the cinema!"

In a certain corner of the filming site, a dozen or so performers couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

Of course, they will be very quiet, after all, the scene is to be radioed, and it is fortunate that they are far enough away, otherwise the director Simon West will definitely scold them and let them all get out.

Angelina Jolie is not what it used to be.

At the just past Oscar ceremony, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie "The Girl Who Moved Soul".

Net worth and salary have risen slightly.

Therefore, those Paramount executives who had complained about Angelina Jolie's role as the heroine Laura stopped beeping when they learned that she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

......

same time of day.

When filming of "Tomb Raider" began, Wald Pictures also issued two official announcements.

"The Ninth District" is about to start filming, and actors are now openly recruiting;

"The Queen Wears Prada" is about to start filming, and it will be recruiting actors widely;

As soon as the news came out, there was a wave of waves among Hollywood's brokerage companies and actors.

" "The first more sent.
