Hollywood starts with animation

The "Spider-Man" movie has a production cost of up to 140 million U.S. dollars. Looking at the entire Hollywood, it is also a first-line commercial production of Class A. Of course, you must be cautious about the director.

"Boss, I think Cameron is very suitable. As everyone knows, he is a big fan of Spider-Man." Old Bill suggested.

As early as 1990, Cameron announced that he would personally direct the live-action "Spider-Man" movie.

To this end, he even went to the horse to write the script himself, preparing for five months.

However, in various copyright disputes between several production companies, Cameron lost the opportunity to direct Spider-Man.

Kevin Fitch vetoed: "I don't agree. I don't deny Cameron's ability to direct. The performance of "Titanic" has attracted worldwide attention, but, Bill, do you think our $140 million production cost is enough for him ?"

"......"

Old Bill raised his brows and gritted his teeth: "You also said that he is good enough. I firmly believe that Cameron is the most suitable candidate. There are not many people in Hollywood who can be better than Cameron in science fiction movies."

Don't forget, the sci-fi movie "Terminator" series is Cameron's proud work.

but!

Zhuke shook his head immediately.

James Cameron is indeed a master of directorship, but his ability to spend money like water also makes people tremble.

The most important thing is the cycle of his filming, which is too slow!

"Titanic" lasted for 4 years from the beginning of the project, to preparation, shooting, post-production, and release.

The production cycle of "Avatar" is as long as 6 years;

"Where does I have so much time for Cameron?"

"Even if I am willing to give him such a long time, investors such as Mountain Capital and the Carlos Foundation are absolutely unwilling to wait that long."

Zhu Ke brewed in his mind and said solemnly: "Everyone, let's not mention whether Cameron is the best candidate. What price should we pay to make him willing to be a director?"

"Uh......?"

Old Bill and the others were taken aback.

"That's right!"

Kevin Feiqilang said: "Cameron's price is too high for us to afford. We must know that only 20% of the box office dividends in North America are enough to minimize our profits."

A "Titanic", Cameron accounted for 15% of the box office dividends, let him earn 115 million US dollars!

"Don't Cameron, he's too expensive!" Zhu Ke vetoed the old Bill's proposal with one final word.

He is too expensive!

Zhuke, who is full of stingy attributes, is absolutely unwilling to give this huge sum of money, even if he is very awesome!

Moreover, the financial situation of Wald Pictures at this stage is not as good as expected.

Old Bill said again: "Kevin, who do you recommend?"

When the voice fell, the eyes of everyone present immediately focused on Kevin Fitch.

Although Kevin Fitch is young, since joining Wald Pictures, his outstanding ability has made him unanimously affirmed by everyone. Young and promising is his label.Moreover, he is currently the second in command of Wald Pictures, with huge powers.

"I recommend two people."

"And they are all very good directors."

"One is our old friend Zach Schneider. The "Spartan 300 Warriors" in post-production is extremely good. We can totally trust his ability;"

"Secondly, it is Stephen Sommers. Some of the people present may not have heard his name, but he is an excellent director who has been following him for a long time, and he is also fully qualified for the director of the "Spider-Man" movie."

Stephen Sommers?

As Kevin Fitch's voice fell, many of the people present really hadn't heard the name.

Stephen Sommers, who is he?

"So it's him!"

People may not have heard the name Stephen Sommers, but Zhuke really knows him!

The famous "Mummy" series is Stephen Sommers' proud work.In 2009, he also directed the hit movie "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra".

"The coach is indeed very good. I agree with Mr. Fitch's recommendation."

"I watched a lot of unedited clips of "300", and Zha Dao is very good at color scheduling."

"Seconded!"

There is no doubt that for Zach Schneider, who has worked with Wald Films many times, all the executives present are still willing to cooperate with him again.

"I don't agree!"

The old guy Bill McNick retorted: "Everyone, don't forget that "Spider-Man" is a science fiction superhero movie. The director has no experience in this area. The production cost of 140 million US dollars, we can't take risks."

"This......."

For a time, many people present also hesitated.

The $140 million big production can't be missed!

Don’t you see that there are many film companies, just because they blindly make high-cost movies and choose the wrong director, the box office fails and the company goes bankrupt?

Wu Baige's "The Wind Whisperer" failed miserably at the box office.

Let the already old MGM be on the verge of bankruptcy;

Ang Lee shot "The Hulk", a superhero movie that added too many human factors and philosophical thinking, which caused the film to fail miserably, and he himself completely lost the favor of the first-line commercial blockbusters.

As a member of the Great Heaven Dynasty in his previous life, Zhu Ke knew them both very well.

Therefore, Zhu Ke is very cautious in choosing the director of Spider-Man.

Old Bill, Kevin Fitch, and a group of executives each had their own opinions and recommended candidates. No one could convince anyone. In the end, it was Zhu Ke's final decision.

——Sam Remy!

"I recommend Sam Remy as the director of the "Spider-Man" movie!" Zhu Ke solemnly said.

Suddenly, everyone was surprised.

Old Bill: "If I remember correctly, he seems to be the director of the thriller "Ghost" series.

Kevin Fitch: "Boss, can he do it?"

Can't help everyone not doubt?

Is a director who often shoots horror and thriller movies qualified for the director of "Spider-Man"?

After changing, everyone will first hit a question mark. This is human nature.

However... they didn't know that Sam Remy was the director of "Spider-Man" in the original time and space.

He did a pretty good job!

In fact, Zucker also considered letting Zach Schneider direct "Spider-Man" at the beginning.

But when he thinks of "Superman: Man of Steel", "Watchmen" and other movies, Zhuke feels that he is inappropriate.

Zach Schneider is the kind of director with a very strong director style and a tendency to "dark".

How can the funny Spider-Man Peter Parker become a hero next door with a "dark" tendency?

Therefore, Zhuke had no choice but to put aside the love general!

Moreover, letting Sam Remy, the "original" director, direct "Spider-Man", can also guarantee the greatest degree of success.

The most important thing is that he charges cheap!
