Hollywood Starts with Animation

Wald Pictures.

"Mr. Fitch, I have sent the earnings report of "Tomb Raider" to your mailbox, you can check it at any time." Secretary Diana said.

Hearing this, Kevin Feige, who was sitting behind the desk, nodded.

"I'll look at the report data later. After all, it is a movie jointly produced and distributed by us and Paramount, and we enjoy 35% of the full copyright income. By the way, you tell the finance, let them pay more attention, Don't be fooled by Paramount." Kevin Feige urged.

"Yes, sir."

Secretary Diana is also a senior Hollywood worker. She knows a series of financial operations of major film companies in terms of accounting and finance. A sudden operation can damage your interests.

Hard to guard against!

Secretary Diana left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Zach Snyder, the director of the company's production department and well-known director, came in again.

"Zach, you're here. Is it for the "Shark Shore" movie?" Kevin Feige put down his work.

Zach waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not the case. The road show of the movie "Shark Shore" has ended, and the publicity in the mainstream media has cooled down. How much box office the movie can finally get depends mainly on the audience. reputation."

"Then you came here...?" Kevin Feige asked.

Zach sat down, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since the release of the "Shark Shore" movie, there have been many representatives from Warners, Columbia, Disney and other film companies looking for me to make an appointment with me. However, To be honest, those scripts are really mediocre.”

"So, I recently saved two scripts by myself."

The voice fell.

Kevin Feige took over two scripts and read them carefully.

Script 1: "I am not Sparta";

Script 2: "Beautiful Girl";

......

this afternoon.

At this moment, Zucker, who is in the editing room of Wald Pictures, is finely editing "Boom Drummer", and also won the script of "I'm not Sparta" and "Beautiful Girl".

After a while...

"Diana, did Kevin Feige ask you to come over and ask for my opinion?" Zucker frowned.

"Yes, boss."

The secretary, Miss Diana, said: "The script of "Sister-in-law" comes from the comics of DC, a subsidiary of Warner. If you want to shoot it, you must obtain authorization from DC. However, you know, our company and The relationship with Warner is very general.”

Is the relationship between Wald Pictures and Warner Bros. just average?

NO!

There have been more than one conflicts between the two in terms of schedule competition, and even fierce battles in media public opinion. Even if the relationship between the two is not a life-and-death feud, it is definitely not much better.

The movie "Beautiful Girl"?

"Is that the movie similar to the national manga "Street of Souls", which summons tall warriors more than ten meters tall?" Zhu Ke thought about it, he had seen it in his previous life.

Not only that, in the various short videos of UC and station B, the movie clips of "Beautiful Girl" are also often intercepted.

"Beautiful Girl" is undoubtedly a movie with top special effects, the picture is very beautiful, but... the box office of the movie is a blood loss!

"Real interpretation of bad movie titles ruins a movie."

In those years, there were a lot of good movies that were almost missed because of a "bad name".

"Three Silly Bollywood", "My God", "Three Billboards", "Kind Gold", "Mao Liar", etc., many viewers do not watch too many movies after seeing the title of the movie In fact, these movies and TV dramas are indeed rare and good works.

"The Beautiful Girlfriend movie is definitely an indelible stain among Zack Snyder's many film and television works. However, there are also problems with the plot of the movie itself." Zucker filtered a lot of things in his mind.

meditation......

Zucker looked at Diana, the secretary in front of him, and said solemnly, "Tell Kevin that the opinion I gave will reject the project of "Beautiful Girl", and "I Am Not Spartan" can be approved."

"Yes, boss."

Although it is said that Zucker is only an opinion, it is full of weight and is almost the result of a final decision.

The movie "I'm not Spartan" is a movie with the same theme as "Spartan 300", and its main plot is almost the same as "Spartan 300".

However!

"Spartan 300" is a bloody, murderous, adrenaline-fueled historical film;

The "I'm Not Spartan" movie is a comedy through and through.

......

Two days later.

A guest comes to Zucker's house.

It is the director Zach Snyder!

"Zach, do you have to shoot the movie "Sonny Girl"?" Zucker frowned.

"Yes, sir."

Zach said solemnly: "Mr. Wald, I have known you for several years. You know, I am sometimes a very stubborn person and will not be easily persuaded, including you."

Zucker sighed.

Sometimes, Zhu Ke really wants to scold these directors, they are too paranoid, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back at all.

In a word, Zucker is not optimistic about the box office prospects of "Beautiful Girl" at all.

Why do you want to shoot when you know you will lose money?

Zucker pondered for a few seconds, then said solemnly: "Zach, I will reject your proposal again, I will not agree with the project of "Sailor Girl". Step back 10,000 steps, even if I agree with it, but, Do you think Warner's DC Comics will license Wald Pictures?"

DC Comics has tightly covered the copyright of its comics, how can it be easily licensed to other film companies?

Besides, as far as the filth between Wald Pictures and Warners is concerned, it is impossible to win the authorization of the comic adaptation!

Zucker raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked, "Zach, tell me the truth, have Warners approached you."

Hu Na is optimistic about Zach Snyder, but it is not a day or two.

"Watchmen", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice" and other movies are all produced by Zack Snyder and Warner Bros.

Zucker guessed: There has been some flirtation between them, especially after the explosion of the movie "Shark Shore".

How to do?

Of course it's perfect for him!

Zack Snyder wants to shoot "Sailor Girl", so he can only cooperate with Warner.

"You don't have to worry about it. You are the director, not someone's captive slave. You have the right to choose. If you go to Warners to work with them on this movie, I will not object. Of course, I have no reason. Oppose." Zu Ke's smile was so sunny and warm.

"This this......."

At this moment, Zach was very moved. In addition to being moved, I was also a little ashamed.

go~

Go now!

I know it's a pit, why not pit Warner?

Zach Snyder has also been a little bit floating in recent years, and Zucker also intends to teach him a lesson and let him know the good of Wald Pictures.

I have to say that Zhu Ke is sometimes... cunning and insidious.

Zucker himself has some disagreements with Warner. In addition, Zucker holds a large number of Marvel superhero copyrights, and also holds shares in Marvel. With Warner and DC Comics, he will definitely be a competitor in the future.

Pit a wave of Warner, Zucker said there is no pressure.

" "The first more is sent.
