Hollywood starts with animation

"Why? Zhuke, do you know these two young boys?"

Condy sitting aside, he saw Zhu Ke staring at the two young men playing with interest.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke denied it on the spot.

Just kidding, how could Zhuke know them now?

Of course, not in the previous life.

The two brothers are still not well-known, but after ten years, no one in Hollywood will not know the names of the two brothers!

Brother is Christopher Nolan;

The younger brother is Jonathan Nolan.

Especially as the brother of Christopher Nolan, his future will resound all over the world.

"Batman The Dark Knight" trilogy, "Inception", "Interstellar" and other movies, which one is not a household name?

As a director, even in China, some netizens call him Nolan God.

Of course, "Dunkirk" released in China, that's fine, nothing to mention.It was simply a history of British men's desperate defeat and escape. They were filmed as a triumphant strategic retreat, which was resisted by many domestic netizens.Well, Zhuke himself doesn't like it either.

The younger brother Jonathan Nolan is a writer and screenwriter. Although his name is not as loud as his brother, the adaptation of "Batman The Dark Knight" by him also illustrates his extraordinary strength.

"what?"

"No, Zhuke!"

"I know you, but you can't afford to have an early character. These two brothers seem to be ordinary people. Can they attract your attention?"

"Could it be that they have a special identity?"

Condy was on the sidelines and began to talk and guess constantly.Even Victor and Martha next to them were curious.

"Ha ha!"

Zhuke deliberately looked at Condy with a rather disdainful look, with an expression of "you are very immature".This expression made Condy half to death.

At the moment, Zhuke ignored Condy, but got up and walked straight to the Nolan brothers.

"Uh... hello sir, is there anything wrong?" Christopher Nolan looked at Zhuke suspiciously.

"Hello two, I’m Zucker Wald, the owner of a Hollywood film and television production company. I just heard you discuss films and shooting techniques. If I guess right, you hope to also engage in film and television production in the future. This job. If you can, I don’t mind offering a job for both of you. Oh, this is my business card with a phone number on it. Don’t look at me like that. I’m not a liar. You can call to verify." Said.

Upon hearing this, the Nolan brothers were all taken aback.

The boss of a Hollywood studio?

So young?

That's right, even if Zhuke provided his business card, the two brothers still thought Zhuke was a liar.It's no wonder they doubted, but Zhuke was too young.

As long as you are a normal person, you will be wary.

"Uh, nice to meet you."

Even if the Nolan brothers suspected that Zhuke was a liar, they did not immediately reveal it.

Then the three chatted a few more awkwardly, until Victor, Conti, and Martha came over and explained that they two believed that Zhu Ke was really the owner of a Hollywood studio.

Did not deceive them!

From the words, Zhuke also knew why Brother Nolan was at the airport.

Christopher Nolan, 25 this year, is now studying English literature at University College London; and as his only 20-year-old brother, Jonathan Nolan is studying at Georgetown University in Washington. This time he flew over from the United States. Look at his brother.

after awhile.

Martha suddenly reminded: "Boss, our plane is about to take off."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke said regretfully: "Oh, this damn plane took off at this time. I'm sorry I can't talk more. Well, I take the liberty to ask, can you two keep the phone? Of course, mine. It means that if two people are interested in entering Hollywood, please contact me! Remember! Remember!"

"Thank you!"

The Nolan brothers quickly thanked, and they looked a little excited.

Both of them are still young people now, and they are not the future gods. Now that a Hollywood film company owner values ​​them so much, how can they not be excited?

If it weren't for the older brother Christopher Nolan who is now shooting the movie "Follow" and has not graduated yet, it is estimated that he would have gone to Hollywood with Zhuke.

"The movie "Follow"? You finished the film, come directly to Hollywood to find me, I will help you arrange it." Zhu Ke was very generous.

"Follow" is Nolan's Virgo.

Zhuke had learned in his life that the cost was less than US$6,000 and the box office was not high, only more than US$400,000.

However, after Nolan entered Hollywood in 2000, his first film, "Memories", cost 500 US dollars, received more than 39 million US dollars in the global box office, and won the Saturn Award for Best Action/Adventure Film and two Oscars. Nomination can be described as fame in one fell swoop.

In the face of Zhuke who was generous in his performance, the Nolan brothers once again expressed gratitude and stated that they would definitely go to Hollywood to find Zhuke in the future.

.......

After returning to Los Angeles, everyone went home.

Zhuke is not idle either. In order to raise funds for the shooting of "Spider-Man", Zhuke is desperate to make money, using all available means.

No, just ten days later, the rookie director Zhu Ke actually worked out four scripts in one go.There are four films, "Fatal Bend", "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Juneo".

Of course, the four scripts are all crude versions, and the company’s screenwriters are required to further refine and supplement them.

The system pretended to be dead, Zhuke could only bite the bullet.

These ten days of fighting in retreat almost did not exhaust Zhuke.The four films Zhu Ke chose have one thing in common, that is, they are low cost and suitable for the current Wald Pictures.

1. The "Deadly Bend" series of movies is a typical Hollywood plasma horror movie in the 21st century.

The content of the movies in this series is roughly the same. It is nothing more than a movie where a group of young Americans who die, go to the wild to play, encounter forest ogres, and then are madly tortured to death by tools such as wire, tree trunks, and kitchen knives and eaten.

"I remember that the cost of each movie in the series will not exceed $2 million or less."

"It can be prioritized."

In fact, Zhuke does not remember the box office after the release of "Fatal Turn 1", but before Zhuke passed through, he watched eight films of the series.

Suffice it to say that the "Fatal Corner" series is profitable!

"The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is even more outstanding.

Although its shooting cost is a little higher, it has a full 40 million US dollars, but it was the second largest film in the North American annual box office in 1999, with a North American box office of 293 million US dollars and a global box office of 670 million US dollars. It also won an Oscar for Best Picture. Nomination.

"The box office is greedy, but I don't have any money! Let's let it go first."

"Fruit Hard Candy" is also a low-cost movie, which is expected to cost less than one million US dollars.

The movie is actually not well-known, and the final box office is more than 6 million US dollars.But as a niche movie, it also has a lot of influence.The movie is mainly similar to the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf, but in the film is the story of Little Red Riding Hood killing Big Bad Wolf and carrying out castration.

"Well, the cost is low, and the difficulty is small, you can consider it."

"Juneo", which is quite famous, mainly tells the story of underage women getting pregnant after they are unmarried. Once it was released in 2007, it caused extensive discussion.

The box office is crazy!

It only took 35 days to complete the filming, and the investment cost was US$6.5 million, but it received US$230 million in box office worldwide.

After some thoughts, Zhuke packed up the four movie scripts and got up and went to Wald Pictures.
