Hollywood starts with animation

the next day.

Wald Pictures.

The director of "Fruit Hard Candy", Zach Schneider, received Zhuke's invitation and once again came to Wald Pictures.

"Hi, Zach, my friend, you are welcome."

As soon as he saw him, Zhuke immediately gave him a bear hug.

For Zach Schneider, Zhuke still gave considerable respect.Dude, after all, that was the director who shot "Superman: Man of Steel" and "Spartan 300" in the future!

"Man, how are you doing? I heard that some time ago, many film companies approached you as a film director."

Zhuke smiled and patted Zac on the shoulder. After speaking, he pressed him on the sofa involuntarily, and made him a cup of coffee himself.

Zach shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wald, I..."

"Call me Zhuke, I have said it several times, but we are friends, we don't need those honorifics." Zhuke interrupted him.

It is said that Zach, who has been on the MV set for a long time, is also very moved.

My friends!

Zach said: "Well, Zhuke. Since the release of "Fruit Candies", many film companies have indeed approached me to shoot new films, but the scripts were useless, and I couldn't be interested in filming at all. The highest cost of the film I shot was less than $1 million. They came with a lottery mentality. How could I accept it?"

Zhuke nodded.

The coaching he is familiar with still has something to pursue.

Although the box office of "Fruit Candies" is not high, only more than 5 million US dollars, but because of the low cost, Wald Pictures still made some money.

Well, not much, and the money made is only 1.5 million US dollars.

1.5 million dollars!

Well, people are profit-driven existence.

This number, in the eyes of many large and medium-sized Hollywood companies, is nothing at all, and it's not even a fraction.However, for many inferior companies, it is definitely worth their one-year or even two-year profit.

"Man, would you like to read this comic?"

Seeing that Zhuke was almost done, he threw a sweetness to him.

""300"?"

"Uh, it's still an illustrated comic. It turned out to be the work of comic master Frank Miller."

Zach, who was talking to himself, quickly finished reading "300" comics, mainly because the content of the comics was not much.

However, this also aroused his interest.

He decided to watch it a second time!

Because he has good drawing skills, he is deeply influenced by his parents, and has also studied art painting, so he particularly likes comics.

Throughout his future films, they are always full of personal creations such as slow motion, dark colors, exaggerated violence, and so on.

It is precisely because of these unique aesthetics and opinions that his works are subject to polarized evaluation.

For example: "Superman: Body of Steel".

The tones of his works are thick and dark, just like deep oil paintings, especially when applied to comic adaptations, bringing a serious feeling to them.The "300 Spartan Warriors" shot by him is a typical representative.

"awesome!"

After watching the "300" comics, Director Zha became excited and excited: "Leonida, the king of Sparta, he is definitely a hero in my mind. Zhuke, are you Wald Pictures? Want to adapt this comic?"

"Yes. In fact, half a month ago, we had bought a series of copyrights for the film and television rights of "300" and the surrounding film from Frank Miller."

Zhu Ke answered truthfully.

After all, there is nothing to hide.

"Yes! Mr. Wald...Oh, Zucker, please be sure to give me the film adapted from this comic. For this reason, I can waive the cost of being a film director."

Zach stared at Zhu Ke with scorching eyes. He was extremely excited at first, but now he became extremely solemn.

He loves "300" so much.

As for giving up director fees?

Give up and give up!

He firmly believes that he can quickly become famous by shooting "300". After that, is he afraid that he won't be able to mix in Hollywood?

"Zach, I want you to watch this manga, do you think I will choose other people as the director? As for the director's fee, do you think I will be stingy with a friend?"

Zhuke waved his hand.

Hearing this, Zach bowed to Zhuke: "Thank you very much!"

"Oh, my heart!"

Zhu Ke couldn't help but move in his heart.

In fact, just now when I heard that Dao Zha was willing to give up the director's fee, Zhu Ke almost blurted out his promise. After all, he insisted on the idea of ​​saving a fortune.

However, this is completely an act of killing chickens and getting eggs!

People, many are entangled because of their interests, but also parted ways because of their interests, and even turned against each other.

In this situation, Zhuke has seen too much in two lifetimes.

It's not advisable to kill chickens to get eggs for the tiny director's expense.

"Zach, this is a script adapted from "300", you can watch it slowly later." Zhuke said.

"Okay, I'll take it seriously." Zach nodded.

Zhu Ke said suddenly: "The film director has decided to be you, but I have one thing to say in the front, that is, this "300" movie will not be shot in the near future."

"Uh..." Zach was stunned.

"Don't ask the reason. Ask the reason because the production cost is too high."

Zhu Ke explained: "I have discussed with Victor and the people in the production department several times and found that to show the battle at Hot Springs in a more complete way, the filming cost of the whole film needs at least 60 million US dollars."

60 million dollars?!

Well, the cost is much higher than the cost of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" that Wald Pictures will prepare.

Lead guide: "........"

What can he say now?

Do you just bite the bullet and say to Zhu Ke: Get the money out and let me shoot?!

As long as it is a normal-headed person, he will never say this sentence.

However, at this moment, after learning that he could not immediately prepare for "300", he still couldn't help but feel lost.

"Hahaha~"

Seeing Zha Dao's loss, Zhu Ke couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be too anxious. I let you wait, but I don't make you wait three or five years."

"10 months!"

"This is a promise I made to you!"

"After 10 months, all the funding for the film "300" will be credited to a dedicated account for you to shoot the film."

As the voice fell, Zadao bounced from the sofa excitedly.

"Really?!"

"of course it's true!"

Zach said immediately that he was willing to wait!For this, let alone 10 months, even three years, he is willing to wait.

"" The second update is sent.

Thanks for the second reward of "Tai Zong Journey to the West".
