Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 183 "Tuner" screening!

It was not because of Zhu that Zhuke invited Bill McNick, an old guy, to take the post of president of Wald Pictures.But as early as a few days ago, Zhu Ke made up his mind to find a qualified and outstanding president for Wald Pictures, and get an overview of the overall situation of Wald Pictures.

Victor is now the CEO of the parent company Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group. He is very busy at work. He has to take the overall situation into consideration and he has no skills.

As an important subsidiary of Wald Pictures, today's vice president Kevin Fitch is still too young. At only 26 years old, he is not the powerful figure who will create the Marvel superhero universe in the future.

Kevin Fitch is too immature now!

He still needs time to grow!

Otherwise, it would not happen that in the first half of 1998, Wald Pictures removed its own films and only released two foreign films, which was a lot lower than last year.

Bill McNick, it's different!

Although he was dismissed by Fox in the 20th century, this does not mean that he was inadequate. It was the result of Fox's internal struggles.

Otherwise, he would not try to stand against the crowd and unearth a world-renowned work like "Titanic".

The most important thing is that Bill McNick, an old guy with rich experience and extremely deep connections in Hollywood, can make up for many of the shortcomings of Wald Pictures.At the same time, he is not young anymore. After a few years of work and retirement, Kevin Fitch has also grown up, just to be able to seamlessly connect.

"I'm such a genius!"

Zhuke was extremely impressed by his decision.

After dealing with the contradiction with Bill McNick, Zhu Ke, who was next at the reception, could be described as "the most popular socialite". Everywhere he went, he was warmly welcomed by everyone.

.......

A few hours later, Zhuke and Alexander returned to the hotel.

"Hey, Mr. Wald, how come you came back so early? This is not your usual style. There are many beautiful stars at the reception." Christopher Nolan teased.

This means that the two are now familiar with each other, otherwise he would not dare to tease Zhuke if he changed to him a year ago.

The title of Hollywood studio owner and super rich is still very bluff.

"Man, I'm a gentleman, a model of morality that everyone praises. I will never do anything against my heart."

Zhu Ke made a righteous expression, but he was also quite depressed!

In today’s series of performances at the cocktail party, Zhu Ke can be said to have made the most of the limelight and set up a personality. It is a moral model praised by everyone. You can’t break the personality all at once.

Well, even if Zhuke is always shameless!

"Okay buddy, it's not too early, let's rest early." Zhu Ke said.

Christopher Nolan nodded, expressing his understanding.

Others didn't know Zhu Ke's thoughts, but he knew, after all Zhu Ke had communicated with him before.

Is Zhu Ke really coming for the short film competition unit?

Do not!

of course not!

Not to mention the title of the top name of a short film competition unit, that is, winning the Oscars and the Cannes Best Director Award and the Palme d’Or, for the current Zhu Ke, it can only play an icing on the cake.

Get it, very good;

It doesn't matter if you can't get it.

Zhu Ke came to the Cannes Film Festival this time mainly to gain a reputation and lay a good foundation for the establishment of Wald Pictures' global distribution channels. Even if this effect is minimal, Zhu Ke does not want to let it go.

.......

May 13th.

The 51st Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off.

In order to hold this film festival, the organizing committee and the Cannes local government happily spent 15 million euros.

Of course, no one will do a losing trade!

The investment of 15 million euros is not just to organize a party for these film artists. The local government and private companies in Cannes, France, as investors, are looking for the world influence and economic benefits brought by the film festival.

In this short period of 12 days, the film festival was able to attract countless film professionals and tourists from all over the world.

There are at least 15,000 people involved in movies alone, and there are even more tourists.

The direct economic income brought is considerable.

As of the late 1990s, 2,000 exhibitors and 700 screenings were held every day during the film festival.This number will reach a new high in 2020. As many as 16,900 filmmakers from 118 countries will participate here, and a total of 1,426 film festivals have been organized for 985 films.

You know, participation is not free!

Man, you have to pay!

Therefore, during the film festival, the registration fee alone can bring in income of 3.8 to 5 million euros, not to mention the income of the theaters; at the same time, there are more than 4,000 films that are traded in the film market, and the annual sales are as high as USD 1 to USD 1.5 billion.

The huge benefits have attracted all filmmakers and filmmakers!

More importantly, these sources of income can radiate to various fields.

The most notable of these is the local hotel restaurants.Not only has the number of receptions increased exponentially, the expenses have also increased by at least 30% than usual, and the proportion of such a large increase is still increasing year by year.

In the 55th Cannes Film Festival in 2002, the direct income of its surrounding industries was 130 million euros;

One year later, at the 56th Cannes International Film Festival, the direct income of its surrounding industries soared to 900 million euros;

Since the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, hotels in Cannes have received an average of 85,000 tourists per year;

The local Carlton Hotel-level presidential suite costs 48,000 euros for one night. If you want to rent a luxury villa near the seaside for a week, you must be prepared to pay 90,000 euros; at the same time, as the demand increases, it is very important to increase the price. It goes without saying that the price of even the private homes of private homeowners is usually several to ten times that of the off-season.

There is no doubt that the Cannes Film Festival is a commercial event under the name of "Cinema Art Exchange"!

As one of the 16 works selected for the short film competition, "Tuner" is scheduled to be shown on the second day of the festival, which is May 14.

No one pays attention to the protagonist of the novel.

What a joke!

As a well-known person and super-rich directed "Tuner", of course, it has attracted the attention of countless media reporters, filmmakers and movie audiences.

On this day, the exhibition hall was full of pits and people.

Media reporters from all over the world are even more eloquent and ready to go.

Jill Jacobs, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Martin Scorsese, chairman of the jury of this year's film festival, and many members of the jury panel, all came to the scene in person to support!

"Oh my God!"

A media reporter exclaimed: "Even the films shortlisted in the main competition unit do not have such a high level of attention, right? Moreover, many members of the jury will not be shown in a certain film at the same time. The most important thing is , It’s just a short film."

When the voice fell, many media colleagues around me couldn't help laughing.

"Man, why did you come?" A colleague sniffed: "In this world, money is omnipotent. If you have money, you can do whatever you want, otherwise why did you come?!"

Ever since, the reporter was always embarrassed.

After a welcome, Zhu Ke announced that "Tuner" was officially started!

"" The first update is sent.Sorry for being late.I hope you will understand and understand, thank you!
