Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 30: A cool shooting scene
May 5, 1996.
As of today, "Lola Run" has been on the North American theater line for a full month, with a cumulative box office of 15.375 million US dollars. Although the theater-line movies in North America were basically a long-term screening model in the 1990s, they would continue to be shown in remote areas for two or three months as long as they were watched. However, there is no expectation of how many dollars they can harvest.
US$16 million, which is basically the final box office of "Lola Run" in North America.
So, some major Hollywood companies with overseas distribution qualifications contacted Wald Pictures to purchase overseas copyrights.
But their bid is too low.
has not reached Zhuke's satisfaction at all.
"Mr. Wald, you have to understand that generally speaking, the overseas box office results are 1.5 times that of North America. According to the North American results of "Rora Run", the overseas box office is up to 24 million U.S. dollars. We have to pay Paramount. A lot of manpower and material resources, therefore, the copyright fee of 2 million US dollars is completely a very sincere price."
The person who said this was a contact person in a Paramount distribution department.
In fact, logically speaking, this price is indeed a price that conforms to the laws of the market.
However, others do not know the overseas prospects of "Lola Run". However, Zhuke is a traverser, he knows that "Lola Run" has achieved hundreds of millions of dollars in box office overseas. Even if "Run Lola Run" does not have the three major European film festival award bonuses like the original time and space, the overseas box office may not reach 100 million US dollars, but even if it is folded in half, it is 50 million US dollars in box office.
How can Zhu Ke be willing to sell it for 2 million dollars now.
As for the idea of earning a share of overseas box office results, don't even think about it! You are a nonprofit organization when you are a big company!
"Thank you Paramount for your sincerity, but we still need to think about it, I hope you understand." CEO Victor politely refused.
Upon hearing this, Paramount’s contact person regretted: "Well, if your company thinks about it, please contact me."
Business is not righteous!
I have to say that this Paramount contact does have two brushes.
There is not the slightest arrogance of a big company in the words, but the words are like a spring breeze.
"Boss, have you seen it? This is the background of a large company. Any contact in the distribution department is a rare talent in Hollywood. Any small company is enough to serve as the CEO." Victor said.
Zuke nodded.
Talent!
The talent pool of large companies is indeed terrifying!
The overseas copyright fee of US$2 million is unacceptable for Zhu Ke, but he is helpless.
I don’t have an overseas distribution network!
Oh, no, even in North America, Wald does not have a complete distribution network, and now only affects one state in California.
Immediately Zhuke gritted his teeth: "Victor, I will inject $3 million into the company later, including the first box office share sent by the theaters. You will use it to build the distribution network in North America and acquire other companies. It doesn’t matter if you organize it yourself. I don’t look at the process, I just want the result.”
"Ok."
Victor nodded solemnly.
Without a complete distribution network, then Wald Pictures will always be at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain, which is an exploited existence. Just like a big company, even if they make a loss every year in their own films, but because of the perfect distribution network, they can extract a lot of profits from small and medium-sized companies every year.
Large companies with strong distribution capabilities are the ones at the top of the food chain!
The overseas copyright of "Lola Run" is only 2 million US dollars?
Zhuke gritted his teeth and sold it!
Not only that, Zhu Ke also sold the DVD, video tape, TV broadcast, peripheral license and other copyrights of "Lola Run" in one go. The receipt of 4.5 million US dollars.
Compared to its only $800,000 shooting cost, Wald Pictures can be said to have made a profit!
...
The filming scene of the movie "Fruit Candies".
"Every department prepares~!"
I have to say that Zach Schneider, who was a film director for the first time, does not have the profound director skills when filming "Superman: Man of Steel", but he still has quite a great director skills. He started shooting the climax of the movie as soon as he started. .
In his words: "At the beginning of the filming, both the actors and the crew, although they needed to be run-in because they were unfamiliar, they were in the most exciting stage. Even the climax part could be shot well, so the next step is very It's easy to shoot."
Zuck also sat aside, staring at the monitor in front of Zac intently.
"please, please~!"
The Hulk who plays the evolving male protagonist, oh no, it's Mark Ruffalo, who is now tied to a small bed, his underwear is taken off, and he sits in a key position covered with ice cubes.
There was cold sweat all over his body, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
This is to castrate!
On the other hand, Haili, the heroine in medical uniforms, who is also the young black widow, looked indifferent and naive.
While holding a scalpel, he said: "I asked my friend if I want to castrate a man. She made an unappetizing noise, as if she wanted her to swallow a bug. Okay, maybe you will feel a bit ripped off. Because I'll be a little tighter, okay? So, bear with me."
"Okay, half done, victory is in sight."
"Don't faint, don't faint, there is no problem."
"Jeff, do you know that some men have only one egg in their life, and they live well, don't they? Of course I heard that, anyway, I think it's correct. Well, I will leave you an egg, just Don’t punish you, don’t faint, don’t faint, Jeff, you will be well soon. But if I leave you an egg, then you won’t be able to walk straight, right?"
"You will soon enter a whole new world."
"Cut, ok, okay, this is a very easy operation, so I think why girls should learn to camp, buy biscuits and other things, I said that this is a useful skill. The next eight or nine days, You will face unprecedented pain, oh, maybe you have to face your own stitches. After all, you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of others. Oh, I’ll introduce you to a website with **** questions and answers. It has what you need."
"Oh by the way, do you want to keep a memorial for you. You don't need it, then let me see how far this thing can play?"
13-year-old Scarlett Johansson, at this moment, her extremely plain tone like "have you eaten" can not help making all the men present, UU reading www.uukanshu.com feel a chill in their lower body.
Fuck!
Zuke heard a whispering verbal abuse from the camera crew beside him.
Man, castrate!
I usually get cold when I hear it, let alone face it now!
Zuke was also stiff.
"Nima, Lao Tzu is no longer a director, but the producer is not a human thing!"
"Fortunately, this is just "Fruit Hard Candies", not "Human Centipede"."
That’s right, Zhu Ke, who wanted to get involved, thought of a future Hollywood heavy-tasting movie "Human Centipede" on the spot. In comparison, it is abnormal!
Several young men and women were stripped naked, injected with anesthetics, and after surgery, they were connected.
That's right, that is, through the operation, the excretory organs of the former person and the mouth of the latter person are connected and sealed with needles and threads, and so on in the subsequent steps. The story of a person who eats junk food in the front, and then a person can only eat the excrement (feces) of the previous person.
This is the heavy taste!
But even so, the castration plot of the "Fruit Hard Candy" movie still makes all men sweat all over their bodies.
The shooting in the next few days, as expected by Zach Schneider, after shooting the climax to the climax and then shooting the other parts, it was much easier and smoother.
"Sure enough, I'm a half-hearted director, I'm really inferior to others." Zhu Ke couldn't help sighing.
On the day of May 12, Zhu Ke left the set and went to Silicon Valley to participate in an event.
Well, it was an exchange event organized by Silicon Valley for new and old companies on the Internet.
Of course, Zhu Ke has to participate in this kind of activity, so he might encounter some valuable investment projects.
The first update of "" is sent.
