Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 28 The Director Candidate

the next day.

Zhu Ke, who was excited for a long time because of a genius idea, came to the company early in the morning and planned to carry it through to the end.

However, he ran into Charlize Theron by accident.

"Hey, Charlize, haven't seen you for more than half a month, you are still so beautiful." Zhuke's compliment was almost at ease.

"Zuke, you are still so handsome."

I have to say that Charlize Theron, who is known as the emperor of Serbia, is indeed very beautiful. Today she is wearing a sky blue shirt, which completely reveals her upper circumference and is full of beauty.

Of course, when Zhu Ke thought of her “lack of fatherly love, wanting a boyfriend like a father”, he instantly lost interest.

"Uh...how do you think of me today?" Zhu Ke curiously asked.

"Oh~~"

Hearing that, Charlize made a very disappointed expression: "Zuke, you disappointed me too much. We are friends when you say yes, but you forgot. I am the spokesperson of SpongeBob SquarePants House. I am here today. Shooting endorsement ads."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll invite you to dinner later, okay." Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand.

"Well, I forgive you, who made you the big boss."

Sai Huang smiled happily.

Obviously, she had a pretty good time this time.

She didn't expect that "Run Lola," in which she acted as the heroine, won a box office of more than tens of millions of dollars. This is a very important resume for her fledgling.

Moreover, she was also favored by the American brokerage giant CAA and successfully joined.It is said that the company is currently looking for a suitable movie role for her.

"Then I have to congratulate you, um, for this lunch, it seems that you have to come and treat you."

Zhuke's thief.

Congratulations, I had a big meal.

Of course, when Zhu Ke learned that she joined CAA, he was also happy for her and also proud of herself.The more famous Charlize is, the better it is for SpongeBob SquarePants, after all, she is a spokesperson, or the kind of life-long system.

Afterwards, the two chatted again.

The atmosphere is pretty good.

Not long after, the arrival of a photographer from Wald Pictures interrupted their chat. After all, Charlize came here today to shoot an advertisement.

"Talk later." Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand.

Walking into the office of CEO Victor, he first asked about the progress of the script adaptation.

"Boss, the script is still being adapted. It is estimated that it will be completed within a week. Of course, after the director is determined, I have to discuss with him before the final draft can be finalized."

Victor said slowly.

Although Hollywood is a producer-centric system, in principle the producer can decide everything, including the final script, but for small companies like Wald Pictures, they respect the director's work very much.After all, if this director is not good enough, it will become a great tool in the future and will bring greater profits to the company.It's like Harvey Weinstein, isn't he making a lot of money just because he dug Quentin.

"That's good, um, does the script copyright have someone to go to the labor union and copyright office to apply for the copyright?" Zhu Ke asked.

"I arranged for Martha to do it early today."

"Has anyone chosen the director?"

"Not yet, but I have begun to look for it."

I have to say that with Victor's existence, Zhuke is a lot easier.

"Haha, Victor. I have a few suitable candidates." Zhuke laughed at this time.

"Uh......."

For a while, Victor couldn't help being curious.He and Zhu Ke have been together for more than half a year, knowing that although he is young, he will definitely not aimlessly.

Zhu Ke mysteriously took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase and recorded the relevant information of several film directors.

Movie: "Deadly Bend", the director's preliminary plan is: M. Knight Shamaran;

Movie: "Fruit Hard Candy", the director initially planned as: Zach Schneider;

Movie: "Juno", the director initially planned as: Richard Linklater.

This time, Zhuke is obviously going to play a big one, shoot three movies at once, and open the market in the United States in one fell swoop.

.......

The home of director M. Knight Samaran.

"Wald Pictures? Are you looking for me to make a movie?"

Shamaran, with an Indian face, looked at Zhuke and Martha Hopkins who came to visit with puzzlement and doubt.

"Yes, we are pretty sure, you are the film director we are looking for." Sister Martha said seriously.

???

There is no doubt that at this moment, M. Knight Shamaran is in a daze.

Yes, he wanted to become a director and was working hard, but he never expected the opportunity to come so suddenly.

You know, he is only 26 years old this year!

It can be said to be quite young.And, there has not been a cinema movie.Well, college works are not counted.

Although he was quite excited at the moment, he still suppressed joy and asked, "May I ask, why is it me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke and Martha smiled at each other.

"Why can't it be you? Introduce, Zhuke Wald, the boss of our company, but also a genius director, screenwriter, and producer. He is only 19 years old, and his first film "Run Lola" , Is currently being screened nationwide, and the cumulative box office has reached 14 million U.S. dollars. Choosing you to be the director of "Fatal Turn" is also a strong recommendation from our boss." Martha said word by word.

Talented director?

Or screenwriter and producer?

Laura, run?

A $14 million box office?

Masha's four-strike combo dealt a huge psychological blow to Shamarin.

Immediately, Shamaran's eyes turned to the young Zhuke.

Zhu Ke sat on the sofa unsmilingly, and said angrily at Martha, "How many times have I said, I am an ordinary young director, not a genius."

The feeling of pretending to be B is great!

That's right, Zhu Ke's heart is just happy at the moment.

In the end, M. Knight Shamaran accepted the invitation of Wald Pictures to become the director of "Fatal Turn 1", with an initial negotiation for a salary of $150,000.

M. Knight Samaran is very young now, and he has never acted as the director of a theater-line movie. This is all right, but he is the screenwriter and director of the second-place North American box office "Sixth Sense" in 1999. Little demon.

In other words, if you win him now, the box office of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" will also enter Zhuke's pocket.

.......

The shooting site of a certain song MV.

As the filming director of "300 Spartans", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "DC Justice League", Zach Schneider, he is now just an ordinary MV director.

At this moment, he faced the invitation from Wald Pictures and accepted it without hesitation.

In his words: "Every MV director wants to become a film director, and I am no exception. The opportunity is rare!"

So far, Zach Schneider has officially become the director of "Fruit Hard Candies" with a salary of $150,000.That's right, his director's pay is the same as M. Knight Shamaran.

After all, both of them are worthy of Zhuke.Those who can bring themselves profits are good partners.Therefore, one cannot favor one another.
