Hollywood starts with animation

March 20, 1998.

The filming of the movie "Memory Fragment" has entered the final stage. There are more than a dozen shots of the male and female protagonists, plus some street and passerby supporting roles, and all filming will end.

These days, Zhuke is more dedicated.

During the day, the filming of director Christopher Nolan was produced on the set, and the whole crew was fully supervised;

In the evening, with several associate producers, they reviewed the shooting shots during the day and arranged with the director the shooting plan for the next day;

In the evening, after a busy day, Zhu Ke did not rest. Instead, he began the preliminary preparations with the script of "Tuner".

"Well, I have now entrusted Kevin Fitch to form the crew and start the selection of related props and scenes. Just wait a few days and select the actors, and then start the "Tuner" shooting as soon as possible."

While Zhuke was busy, he was a little anxious.

Because there are still 54 days before the opening of the 51st Cannes Film Festival; there are less than 40 days left before the deadline for the registration of film exhibitions.

Time is tight, task is heavy!

"Time does not wait for me!"

As the owner of a film company, Zhu Ke is a super rich American.

The number of companies under its umbrella is larger, and the number of companies holding shares is even greater.Moreover, over time, this number will inevitably increase a lot.

In his previous life, Zhu Ke, who graduated from the Film Academy’s Directing Department, would hardly have the time and energy to direct a film personally in the future; what’s more, maybe even a few years later, even the time as a film producer will be limited. There is not much left.

"I will make a few short films while the number of companies in my hands is still low, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chance in the future."

That's right, Zhu Ke's dream of a director has not completely cooled down yet.

There is no time to shoot a feature film in theaters, but it doesn't mean that you can't shoot short films!

"Tuner" is a very good work, and the 1998 Cannes Film Festival was the first to introduce a short film competition unit.

Zhuke doesn't want to miss it!

.......

The next day.

Zhuke did not leave for the filming scene of "Memories", but came to Wald Pictures.

"Boss, this is the 15-man list of young male actors I have compiled; this is the information of the three male actors who have been qualified after going through the sight glass." Kevin Fitch said solemnly.

Zhuke nodded, looked at his unscrupulous tired face, and comforted: "It's been hard work, it seems you have been busy all night, go back to rest early."

"Okay, boss."

Kevin Fitch is not at all polite, it can tire him out these days.

As the saying goes, "move your mouth above, and break your legs when running below."

A few days ago, when Zhuke called Kevin Fitch and told him he was going to shoot a short film.

Ever since, in these days, Kevin Fitch has almost never slept peacefully.The preparation of the crew is very simple for the current Wald Pictures, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive!Besides, Zhu Ke is asking him to do it in a few days;

The most important thing is the choice of actors!

There are so many Hollywood actors, this is not wrong.However, choosing an actor that meets the requirements is more time-consuming and laborious, not so easy and pleasant.

"Man, go back to bed early, I approved!"

Zhuke personally sent Kevin Fitch away from the company, and he also asked a bodyguard to send him home safely.

"Now let me look at the information."

Zhu Ke opened the relevant actor information and took out the video recorded when the "Tuner" actor was in the sight glass, and began to review and select.

.......

The first actor selected: Jeremy Renner.

Born in Modesto, California, USA, 27 years old;

In 1995, he made his debut in the movie "Campus Blue Waves" as a passerby character with only three lines. In the following years, he participated in the filming of some film and television dramas.

"Jeremy Renner?"

"Hey, this is the eagle eye in the "Reunion" series who can only use bows and arrows and soy sauce!"

As a Zhuke who has experienced countless superhero movies, he is naturally able to recognize him.

The second selected actor: Paul Walker.

Born in Glendale, California, now 25 years old, professional actor and model;

In 1986, Paul Walker, who was only 13 years old, starred in his debut film "Monster in the Closet", of course, a small role with almost no lines.

As of the beginning of 1998, he served as a leading role in many film and television dramas.

Of course Zhuke knows him too!

In the future, Paul Walker, who participated in the "Fast and Furious" series, is believed to be known to many people.

The third actor selected: Cowhit James.

Canadian actor, 30 years old, teacher of film acting school;

This is an actor Zhu Ke hasn't heard of in his previous life, but there is nothing strange.Not to mention that it is a Canadian male actor, there are many new-generation actors of the Great Heaven Dynasty, and not everyone knows Zhu Ke.

.......

Two days later.

After the final sight glass, Zhuke personally finalized the actor of "Tuner", and it was Paul Walker.

Paul Walker, who learned the news, was naturally very excited and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Zhuke.

The remuneration is 12,000 US dollars!

Well, this number is indeed not much, but it is fully in line with his current market price.

In fact, as the boss of Hollywood studios, Zhu Ke, when selecting actors, can choose those who have become famous actors to play the leading actor in "Tuner".

but!

Zucker did not do this!

The first short film competition unit at the Cannes Film Festival actually has another name-the cornerstone film competition unit.

This competition unit is mainly a stage for young directors and new actors to show off their style.

Zhu Ke is not very young, only 21 years old, but he has already filmed a North American box office of more than 10 million US dollars, overseas box office of more than 100 million US dollars "Lola Run", is a man with a "genius director" halo on his head;

Now, Zhu Ke’s new work "The Tuner", if the actor matched with it, is an actor who has been famous for a long time...

Ha ha!

To put it bluntly, this is totally bullying!

It is like a fully armed adult, beating a group of children waiting to be fed!

"Although I have a relatively low bottom line, it is estimated that the group of people on the Cannes Film Festival jury might be pissed off."

Therefore, the actors selected by Zhu Ke are all young actors!

Before the film "Tuner" was about to start shooting, Zhu Ke was ready to try.

"Children, your big devil is about to appear."

That's right, Zhuke's participation in a competition with a film like "The Tuner" is completely bullying a group of children.
