Hollywood starts with animation

After attending the second day of Gambling King Kecorian’s wedding, Zhu Ke waved his hand and notified Wald Pictures to officially start the preparations for "Shark Beach".

As early as last year, Zhu Ke handed it over to the company for the screenwriters to improve it.

Due to the lack of talent, the project has never been launched.Now that "Reaper is Coming" has been released, and the filming of "Butterfly Effect" has been completed, it is natural to allocate a part of manpower to start the project.

The "Shark Beach" movie is a typical example of Xiaobo!

Since the establishment of Wald Pictures, it has been very knowledgeable about shooting such horror films, and Zhu Ke will naturally not miss the opportunity to make money.

"Shark Beach" is a movie released in 2016, played by Blake Lively, the wife of "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds; the production cost of the film was $17 million, but it won worldwide Box office results of more than 100 million US dollars.Well, even in the Great Tianchao market, without any publicity, its box office results for the first weekend and three days exceeded 50 million yuan.

Non-sci-fi, non-action, and non-high-cost Hollywood movies can achieve excellent box office performance in the Great China market, which is almost a very valuable existence.

We know that Hollywood has a type of horror movie that specifically instigates a type of animal to become an anti-human killer, such as bulldogs, bears, pythons, bats, spiders...

All the animals flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water can all become the most terrifying killers on the screen under the production of Hollywood.

In the vast ocean, the most terrifying killer is naturally the shark!

It does not need mutation, nor any modification, it can tear anyone to pieces, so it has become a frequent visitor on the screen.

Whether it is "Jaws" created by Spielberg, "Deep Sea Shark" under the guise of science fiction, or "Shark Wind" which sells 50 cents of special effects, they are all impressive movies.

The "Shark Beach" movie is also the best of its kind!

"The box office of over 100 million US dollars is its best proof."

"Furthermore, because the production cost of the film was only 17 million US dollars, when it was released, it failed to get the attention of the film company Columbia. ."

"In addition, the schedule selection when the film was released was also very bad."

As a traveler, Zhuke has naturally experienced the movie market in 2106.

When "Shark Beach" was released in North America, there were countless blockbusters, high-cost films, and high-cost movies released at the same time and shortly after it was released.

"Captain America: Civil War", "Now You See Me 2", "X-Men: Apocalypse"...

These movies are not high-cost blockbusters, and they are all sequels supported by many fans of their owners. How can "Shark Beach" not be reduced to cannon fodder in the schedule of so many fierce films gathering, front and back?

"More sophisticated production, profitable announcements, and suitable schedule selection, the three-pronged approach, the production of "Shark Beach" by Wald Pictures, must be much higher than the original."

"Even if the issuance market is not mature enough and the box office is over 100 million U.S. dollars, I am quite confident."

Zhuke thought to himself.

Do what you want!

Soon after, Wald Pictures established a special group for "Shark Beach" and set the production cost.

The production cost of the film is 14 million US dollars, lower than the original 17 million US dollars.

Of course, this is not why Zhuke wants to save money.

Factors such as inflation, labor costs, etc., will all affect cost expenditures.Moreover, the protagonist in the original version is Blake Lively, and her salary alone is as high as 9 million US dollars.

Ha ha!

Guess, according to Zhu Ke's stingy attributes, inviting an actress to be the protagonist of "Shark Beach" will pay more than $9 million in price?

.......

A few days later.

The behind-the-scenes crew of the "Shark Beach" movie has been formed.

Director: Zach Schneider, who has been off for more than half a year;

Producer: Kevin Fitch, vice president of Wald Pictures, personally in charge;

The estimated total production cost is US$14 million;

"Zach, sign the contract."

In Zhu Ke's office, under the witness of a group of lawyers, Zach Schneider signed his first director contract with a box office share in his life as a director.

That's right, on the basis of the director's pay of 2 million US dollars, he got the opportunity of box office dividends.

"Zach, don't watch "Shark Beach" as a small- and medium-cost movie, but I am full of confidence in it. The box office results of more than 100 million US dollars are not a problem."

Zhu Ke said with a smile: "Your 10% net profit share will definitely make a lot of money."

Zach smiled and said: "I am also optimistic about the prospects of Shark Beach, otherwise I would not accept it with pleasure. In short, thank you Mr. Wald for giving me this opportunity."

The agent excitedly said: "I have known Zach for a long time and will definitely become one of Hollywood's leading directors in the future."

The director with a box office share is a status symbol.

The 10% box office net profit share is less than the 10% box office share, and the three words "net profit" are added, but the extra $3~4 million is definitely not a problem.

After several years of cooperation, Zach has started filming three movies for Wald Pictures, "Fruit Candies", "Human Removal Project", and "Spartan 300 Warriors"; more famous movies.

The movie "Shark Beach" is not big, but it is undoubtedly a big step forward in Zach's directorial career!

Dude, the box office is divided!

Symbol of a great director!

"Thank you."

At this moment, Zach Schneider, who has become a famous Hollywood director, couldn't help but get a little excited.

Lighting, photography, props, makeup, art, field notes...

With a single order, within 3 days, they were all in place.

Next, it is naturally the choice of actors!

The movie "Shark Beach" tells the story of a beautiful woman trapped on the beach and fighting a shark alone. Although there are multiple characters, it is almost a one-man show for the heroine. Therefore, the choice of the heroine is very important.

Beautiful and good figure are the first priority;

Secondly, have a certain reputation;

Besides, the actress who plays the leading role must have excellent acting skills;

The most important point is that the charges are cheap!!!

Actresses who are familiar with Zhuke, such as Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain, Angelina Jolie and other actresses, Zhuke is of course...none of them.

Their pay is not low!

In the end, the person who succeeded in taking the role of the heroine was indeed Salma Hayek, whom Zhuke invited not long ago.

As the future proprietress of the Kering Group, she is naturally beautiful enough and has a very strong figure. A pair of big car lights in this kind of seaside plot can naturally attract many young audiences.

The key is that she has just experienced the box office failure of "Hurricane Men", her film is cheap and has a certain degree of popularity.

Successfully won 3 million US dollars!

Compared to the original heroine Blake Lively in "Gossip Girl", it is much cheaper.

In just a few days, the film "Shark Beach" successfully started shooting after a low-key press conference.

The speed is staggering!

Of course, this also benefits from the current strong production capabilities of Wald Pictures!

November 1.

After "Finding Nemo" was released for nearly three months, its production company Water World Animation will be officially listed on the US stock market in a few days!!!

The third update of "" is here, let's have a wave of support, friends~
