Hollywood starts with animation

meeting room.

"Hi, Zhuke, my friend, we meet again." A middle-aged man gave Zhuke a warm hug.

"Jordan, I am glad to see you again."

The man sitting in front of Zhuke is indeed Jordan Davelman, the representative of Paramount's distribution department. He has previously cooperated with the overseas release of "Lola Run".

Jordan looked at Zhuke and smiled: "Zuke, I want to congratulate you, you did a great job in London and earned 20 million pounds from ITV!"

"It's so so, it can't compare to the profitability of one of your films." Zhu Ke pointed out.

Doesn't it mean "Lola Run".

Paramount of Dog Day only paid US$2 million in overseas copyright fees and received a box office of US$100 million.

Jordan smiled awkwardly. Obviously he didn't expect Zhu Ke to bring up the old story again. He said at the moment: "Zuke, as far as I know, the US copyright of "The Talent Show" is still in your hands."

"Yes."

Zhuke nodded, there is nothing to hide.

Hearing that, Jordan said on the spot: "Then you can consider selling the North American copyright of "Go Talent" to Paramount's parent company Viacom Group. After all, we have the third largest television network in North America. "

Sell ​​it to you?

Zhuke nodded and said: "Yes, because we are friends, as long as you can give 70 million US dollars, I will sell it."

70 million dollars?

Jordan almost vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot!

Obviously, Zhuke was opening his mouth to the lion.

Jordan teased: "Zuke, don't be kidding, we are talking about business."

"Hahaha~, well Jordan, let's talk about the overseas copyright of "Fruit Hard Candies". You must know that the purchase of the copyright of "Talent Show" is not up to you." Zhu Ke laughed.

Jordan was embarrassed again.

Yes, a copyright acquisition of tens of millions of dollars is not something that Jordan, a small distribution manager, can decide.The reason he spoke was nothing more than to test Zhuke.Even the embarrassment he showed was quite disguised.

All the fucking are old jianghu, whose face is still immature?

Lie to the ghost!

"I don't plan to sell the North American copyright of "Talent Show" right now. After all, after the British version of "Talent Show" is broadcast, I will definitely be able to sell the North American copyright at a high price." Zhu Ke's heart moved. .

Well, much higher price than 20 million pounds!

The box office performance of "Fruit Hard Candy" in North America is a bit worse than that of "Lola Run", so don't expect high overseas copyright fees.

but.

As soon as Zhu Ke thought of "Lola Run" overseas box office of 100 million US dollars, he was unwilling to sell, of course, to sell a little more money.

"Jordan, you damn vampire!"

"1,000,000?"

"You just want to win my "Fruit Hard Candies" for 1 million. Don't even think about it. I will tell you to dream!"

.......

Negotiations between companies are all about interests.

As for friendship?

Haha, think too much.

In the overseas market of "Lola Run", Paramount is indeed taking advantage of Wald Pictures, but it is not expected that they will remember this friendship.

For example, the "Fruit Hard Candy" we are talking about now, will big companies remember the last movie?

Obviously, no!

They have their own independent characteristics and will never treat them specially because of personal feelings and personal relationships.

At this point, Zhuke is the same.

In the end, the first negotiation on the overseas copyright of "Fruit Hard Candy" failed.

"Victor, besides Paramount, are there any other major companies interested in our overseas copyright?"

After Paramount's Jordan left, Zhuke asked Victor directly.

"some."

Victor said: "At present, regarding the overseas copyright of "Fruit Candies", contact our major company, in addition to Paramount, there is Time Warner Group."

Warner?!

That's a big company!

Well, Time Warner is stronger than Paramount.

Its parent company, Time Group, is even more prosperous.Especially the "Time Magazine" under the group, that is also a resounding existence.At present, Warner Group seems to have the momentum to keep pace with Disney and compete for the leader of the martial arts.

Zhu Ke froze for a moment, then reacted and said: "It seems that the overseas performance of "Lola Run" does not make us any money, but it also made our company famous."

Victor smiled, the meaning is self-evident.

........

At the same time, in a certain office of Time Warner Pictures, two people are discussing "Fruit Hard Candies."

Richard Kidman, male, 45 years old, is the head of the overseas distribution department of Warner Pictures, and he is also a powerful figure in Warner Pictures.

"Rhett, I just learned that Wald Pictures and Paramount have started negotiations on "Fruit Candies". You will follow up in the near future. As long as it does not exceed US$2 million, you must win the overseas release for me. "Richard Kidman said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll check it right away."

The young man in front of Richard Kidman is his right-hand man, Reid.

It didn’t take long for Reid to return to Richard Kidman’s office again, and immediately said: “Boss, I asked, the overseas copyright of "Fruit Hard Candies" is still in Wald Pictures, but I I want to confirm again, do we want to make a move?"

Obviously, Reid is not optimistic about the overseas performance of Hard Candies.

Richard Kidman nodded and said: "Rhett, I know your concerns, and I believe in your professional vision. That's right, for the movie "Fruit Candies", it is a niche type. The movie’s overseas box office cashing is not worth our $2 million bid, but you have to take a long-term view."

"Oh?" Reid wondered.

Looking at the young assistant in front of him, Richard Kidman was not bored either.

Instead, he explained patiently: "Although Wald Pictures is a new company, look at the "Lola Run" they shot, and the "Teletubbies" that was previously shown in the UK. Take a look at the copyright of the "Go Talent" that was raging a few days ago. Do you think Wald Pictures is still a small film company?"

"Lola Run" with 100 million overseas box office;

"Teletubbies" that broke the ratings of the British Children's Channel when it was launched;

"The Talent Show" with a copyright of 20 million pounds;

When the young Rhide thought of this, he was instantly excited.

"I understand!"

"Thank you boss, let me understand that Wald Pictures is no longer a Hollywood movie company, it is completely worthy of us to win!"

Reid was immediately eloquent.

Hearing this, Richard Kidman said with satisfaction: "You are right to think that way. Anyway, it is only a one-million-dollar thing. If it succeeds, you can harvest a potential film company. Why not? "

Now, that is, Zhuke is not here, otherwise he would be dumbfounded.

They are all fucking old foxes!

However, Zhu Ke is also happy to hook up with a few large companies.

With Zhu Ke's heavy investment, Wald Pictures has already broken away from the status of Hollywood movie company and promoted to third-rate; but it is still very weak and needs to grow continuously under the wings of big companies.

As for the question of whether it will be backfired and embezzled by big companies, Zhu Ke is not worried at all.

"Three years. Give me another three years. I will have enough capital to operate. Even if I turn my face with a big company, I won't be helpless." Zhu Ke thought.

........

the next day.

Zhu Ke, who got up early in the morning, drove to the filming scene of "Juneo" after washing up.

That's right, the filming of the movie "Juneo" has started.

And it has been filming for half a month, but because of his busy work, the producer Zhuke has not gone.Now that I am free, of course I have to check it out.

After all, this is "Juneo"!

The global box office of more than 200 million US dollars is totally worthy of Zhu Ke's attention!

As the boss and producer, Zhu Ke has a personal 3% of the North American box office net profit of "Juneo" in his hands. It is normal to care more about filming. People in the province gossiping.

"Hi, Richard, you have worked hard during this time."

After Zhuke arrived on the set, of course he found film director Richard Linklater the first time.

Not to mention other things, just being the title of the best director at the Berlin Film Festival deserves the minimum respect from Zucker.

When Richard saw Zhuke, he immediately laughed and cursed: "Mr. Wald, you are the producer of Juno, but the filming has been on for half a month, so you can remember that you are the producer. , This is really rare."

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I'm busy."

Who is Zhuke?

With a thick-skinned face, how could I be embarrassed, but instead asked, "Richard, are you going to shoot now?"

"Well, the male and female protagonists are putting on make-up and will start shooting in a while," Richard said.

Zhuke nodded, and said nothing at the moment.

Before long, the male and female protagonists came out of the dressing room, and the film was ready to start shooting.

"Huh? The two of them seem familiar."

Seeing the male and female protagonists, Zhu Ke was immediately taken aback.These two Zhuke really knew in his life.

Jessica Chastain;

Ryan Reynolds.

Juno, the heroine of the movie Juno, is played by Jessica Chastain.

She is not a well-known actress who has the title of "Model Worker Sister" and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in the future. She is just a fledgling.After all, she was only 19 years old.

Zhu Ke is even more familiar with the leading actor.

Isn’t it Ryan Reynolds who plays the "Deadpool" in the movie "Deadpool"!

The movie he starred in, not to mention the "Green Lantern", which is a big hit on the street, is just the movies "Buried Alive", "Underworld Police", "Ace Bodyguard" and other movies, which are enough to make him famous.

Of course, he still has an enviable identity.

——Black Widow Scarlett Johansson’s ex-husband!

After all, the famous Durant was unsuccessful in trying to drink the bath water of the Black Widow, but Ryan Reynolds was reluctant to drink the damn bath water.
