Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 157 Selection of Main Characters in "Spartan 300 Warriors"

Thanks to the popularity of the movie "Titanic" in the global market, James Cameron, the director of the film, has a reputation that has broken through the sky!

In recent interviews in many media newspapers, he walked a little erratic.

After all, the box office performance of the movie completely exceeded his previous expectations.

"what?"

"You said that my blade is rumored to wipe your neck if the box office fails?!"

"Man, are you kidding me?"

"As the director of "Tantenic", I certainly believe that my movie will succeed. I am Cameron! Man, don't forget, when I filmed "Terminator 1", I received less cynicism. ?"

"Therefore, in recent months, I don't care about the pressure from the media, theaters, and producers. These will turn into my driving force!"

"I had expected the box office to explode!"

I have to say that if you don't have a good eloquence in Hollywood, you can't be a director.Otherwise, you can't stand the run on the media.

Cameron has gone through a few months of lows and media ridicule. Now that the movie box office has exploded, he is naturally going to cry.

Don't be surprised!

Even if he is a world-famous director, he is alone!

Moreover, he touted these at the moment is also for the consideration of the movie box office.

Is it now necessary to tell media reporters and movie audiences that the box office explosion is an accident now?

To tell the truth in this case, a part of the box office will inevitably be lost!

Even if Cameron agreed, Paramount and 20th Century Fox as producers would not let him do this!

What to do now

Blow it and it's over!

Therefore, when Cameron is interviewed by the media at this moment, he will say that he has no pressure at all.It was not until 1999, when Cameron became famous, that he frankly confessed how intense he was at that time and almost crushed him; he also frankly said that he did not expect to get appalling box office results, and he was ready to go to the truck driver. The old profession of profession.

In the original time and space history, "Titanic" has won the North American box office championship for 15 consecutive weeks, with a global box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars, which is definitely a miracle.

Zhu Ke invested US$85 million to obtain 25% of the revenue of "Titanic", including the final box office dividends of the production company, and dividends from the peripheral, DVD and video tape markets.

There is no doubt that Zhu Ke's investment has made a lot of money!

.......

At the end of February 1998.

The preparatory work for the movie "300 Spartan" has been successfully completed, and the selection of the main role has been officially announced.

Zach Schneider served as the director of the film;

Zhu Ke, who had been idle for two months, personally served as the producer of the film;

Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald Pictures, also serves as the second producer of the film, to ensure the smooth progress of the film.

In fact, long before the casting of "Spartan 300 Warriors" was announced, many brokerage companies in Hollywood received the news and began to contact Wald Pictures to fight for their own artists and actors.

"Juno", "Human Elimination Project", "Sixth Sense of Supernatural"...

Although Wald Pictures hasn't been established for a long time, who made Zhu Ke the boss the man who opened the door? In recent years, it has produced and released many high-grossing movies.Now that a new film is about to start, how can it not attract the attention of Hollywood actors?

The production cost of "300 Spartan" is as high as 60 million US dollars, which is the highest single-film production cost of Wald Pictures since its establishment.

Even if you look at the entire Hollywood, it is not comparable to the six major first-line productions of Hollywood, and it is also the best in the second-line production.

How can those actors be reserved?

This is a great opportunity for coffee to be promoted.

Wald Pictures is not an obscure film company now!

It is under the six major Hollywood, second only to the existence of several film and television companies such as DreamWorks, Touchstone, and New Line Pictures, and has a distribution network throughout the United States.

.......

CAA brokerage company.

"Darren, the hero of "300 Spartan", it's me!"

Matt Damon stared at his agent, Darren Scotty, and warned: "Don't mess it up this time. After all, we have missed it once."

"I know."

The agent Darren nodded heavily.

Matt Damon actually regrets it!

You must know that in early 1996, when Zucker founded Wald Pictures and acted as the director and started filming "Lola Run" in person, he invited Matt Damon to be the leading actor of the film.However, because the CAA brokerage company strongly wanted to take the leading position of the film and packaged other roles, it directly led to the collapse of the two.

Since then, Zhuke skipped the CAA agency when he chose multiple film actors.

"Your small film company that has just been established, do you really regard yourself as a god?!"

"Rookie director, haha~!"

This is the rhetoric made by the agent Darren in Wald Pictures.

This move offended Wald Pictures and Zucker himself.

But offend you offend!

Matt Damon and his agent Darren Scotty didn't care.Is it like an elephant needs to care about ants that can be trampled to death at any time?

however......

However, Wald Pictures has now been promoted to a well-known Hollywood second-tier film company. As the boss, Zhu Ke is a shareholder of many well-known listed companies and has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars.

The status is overturned!

Matt Damon, who looks dull, but is actually extremely savvy, has long wanted to ease the relationship. Now that he has heard that "Spartan 300 Warriors" has started casting roles, where can he sit still?

"Even if I can't win the actor and main role of this movie, but I took the initiative to appear at the casting scene, and I was able to send a message of apology to Mr. Wald."

I have to say that Matt Damon is savvy enough, and thief enough.

In other words, no one who can succeed in Hollywood is a fool!Even the lucky ones who have gained power for a while, if they are not shrewd enough, they will be eliminated quickly.

.......

William Morris Brokerage Company.

"Jacques, you have worked with Wald Pictures several times. This time they are about to start filming "Spartan 300 Warriors", a film with an investment of up to 60 million U.S. dollars. We said nothing should be missed." Anchidi Dormond said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Jacques Phoenix nodded heavily.

Although he is young, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how would he cooperate with Wald Pictures for many movies when others are not optimistic about Wald Pictures.

"Fatal Corner 1" actor;

The villain of the "Human Removal Project";

Jacques Phoenix has collaborated with Wald Pictures for many films, which is his advantage.

The agent Anchetti Domond said again: "I have seen the introduction of the film. The male protagonist Leonidas needs a more mature and muscular actor to play. We have no role. But the second male number of the film. , Male No. 3, we can fight for it, after all, this is a film with a production cost of 60 million US dollars."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Jackie Phoenix responded.

.......

at the same time.

After learning that "Spartan 300 Warriors" produced by Wald Pictures was about to start casting roles, the major economic companies started to take action.

The actor and heroine Leonidas and the heroine Leonidas, these two roles are the top priority for them!

It has to be said that Wald Pictures has since developed and grown. From the initial initiative to invite actors, they are often rejected. Now actors are swarming.
