Aug. 5.
The "Gesente" movie theater owned by Emperor Entertainment in Los Angeles.
It is the largest movie theater under Emperor Entertainment and one of the largest movie theaters with the best equipment and most luxurious facilities in the entire Los Angeles area.
"Back to the Future", "Terminator", "Jurassic Park"... There are many world-renowned movies, all of which were held at the Gesent Cinemas, the premiere of the movie.
Today, it is contracted by Wald Pictures.
Who made the "Finding Nemo" movie premiere today?
As the high-profile water world animation company, the film is the first cinema animation feature film, including "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig" two ace animations. Pearl and jade are in the front, and naturally they have attracted the attention of all parties. .
Many media reporters gathered here early in the morning.
Even giant media such as NBC, ABC, and CBS have sent film crews to interview and report.
In order to promote the film, Wald Pictures invested a lot of money, spending $15 million in up-front promotional expenses alone.
TV, radio, subway advertising, print media, the Internet... Wald Pictures has all invested its capital.
"Hi Zucker, congratulations, another movie is out!" Riol Slim congratulated Zucker.
"thanks."
For the young Riol Slim in front of him, Zucker couldn't be slow.
Riol Slim is the eldest grandson of Mexico's richest man and telecom tycoon Carlos Slim, the fifth in line to the Slim family property, and the head of the American branch of the Carlos Foundation.
Let alone Zucker, no one in America will despise him, Rio.
"Zuke, you've done a great job recently! A movie that cost only $60,000 to make has actually reaped $150 million at the North American box office." Riol praised.
Hearing this, Zucker waved his hand, "It's okay. I didn't treat you Carlos Foundation badly for the investment in the last "Spartan 300 Warriors"."
"That's nothing to say.
"Rioel's complexion immediately turned rosy.
For film and television, its proportion is a drop in the bucket for the Carlos Foundation.
but!
Why do a group of international capitals, including capital from the United Arab Emirates and Asia, repeatedly invest in the American film and television business?
All for publicity!
How much is the movie worth?
For those bigwigs, promoting their companies is king.
Zuke smiled and said: "Rioel, don't be jealous of the profits of "Blair Witch", look, "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" must make more money, I will guarantee you the money you invest. earn."
"I believe." Riol laughed and entered the venue.
Zhu Ke crossed over, and he didn't have many friends. Rioel was a good friend.
"Zuke, you have a new person, so you forgot the old one?"
At this moment, a joke came from behind Zuke.
Zucker turned around.
Yes, they are acquaintances!
The famous Steve Jobs classmate;
John Lasseter;
Andrew Stanton;
"Hey, my friends, I've been waiting for you. It would be a huge pity if my Finding Nemo didn't have your Pixar support."
Zucker enthusiastically shared a bear hug with them, as did Jobs.
After all, the reporters around are frantically pressing the shutter, and the flash lights are constantly on.
Well, the face of classmate Jobs is very ugly.
"Old guy, give me some face, and take a photo now. Hey, hey, just give me the face of this Apple shareholder, okay?" Zucker patted Jobs, whose face was a little stiff.
"Hmph, just to give you face." Jobs agreed.
Zucker couldn't help laughing.
The old guy is really an insincere arrogant ghost.
After taking the photo, after a brief chat, the three of Jobs entered the venue.
However, John Lasseter was at the end and whispered a few words in Zucker's ear.
"Zuck, don't you know about Jobs' temperament?"
"Besides, at the premiere of "A Bug's Life" last year, you knocked Steve Jobs over, don't you forget it, he still remembers it now."
Hearing this, Zu Ke couldn't help laughing.
Last year, Zucker accidentally knocked over Steve Jobs, and he also performed a slapstick operation afterwards.
That is to help Steve Jobs, who fell to the ground, half way, and then forcibly press him back.
This operation is ruthless!
In the following time, after the invited people from all walks of life came to the scene one after another, Zhu Ke had a few warm chats with him.
"Zha Dao, after "Spartan 300 Warriors", after taking such a long rest, when do you plan to start a new movie, in terms of script and funding, I have prepared it for you." Zucker said.
Zach Snyder waved his hand and said, "I was exhausted a few years ago. I made four movies in a row, and I plan to rest for a few more months."
For his biggest director, Zhu Kena is called a love.
......
"Nolan, if you encounter difficulties in "The Butterfly Effect", you can bring it up. Old Bill and Kevin will definitely help you solve it. If they can't, then I will come." Zucker said.
Christopher Nolan nodded: "I haven't encountered any problems yet, and with Mr. McNick and Mr. Fitch both here, I believe there are no problems that can stumped them."
Jonathan Nolan smiled aside and didn't say much.
The Nolan brothers are also the Wang Zhuang combination in the hands of Zucker.
......
Xiao Lizi, Fat Wen, Theron, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Angelina Jolie, Joaquin and many other Hollywood stars also appeared at the premiere.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Ke's energy is amazing enough now!
The star-studded scene is definitely not lost to the Oscars.
"Boss, everything is done."
At this time, the first dog leg beside Zu Ke, chief assistant Alexander came to Zu Ke's side.
Zhu Ke immediately smiled and said, "Huh~ It seems that the dealers and the surrounding chain stores are very optimistic about our "Finding Nemo"."
Alexander said with a smile: "After all, "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig" Zhuyu are in the water world animation, and they have all watched "Finding Nemo" in advance, so they naturally have confidence in us."
"Oh? How much did it sell for?" Zucker asked.
"$48 million!"
Alexander proudly said: "In the 50 states of the United States, peripheral dolls, clothing, keychains and other authorizations have sold a total of 48 million US dollars."
Zhu Ke heard the words, and immediately showed a smile.
"Finding Nemo" sold for $48 million in authorized sales in the United States. Although it is far less than the $117.5 million authorized for the authorized sales of Pixar animation "A Bug's Life" last year, it is the first theater animation of Waterworld Animation. The feature film, with a price tag of $48 million, is already good enough, after all, this is a result that has not been tested by the market.
"I don't pay any attention to the licensing of the next animation unless it costs $100 million."
Well, classmate Zhu Ke is a little floating~
" "The third is sent.
Thanks to csj Zhuangzhuang for the reward of 500, and thanks to Huanyuyun for the reward again.
