Chapter 322 Paramount Releases Goodwill

the next day.

After visiting the "Spider-Man" crew the day before, Zucker toured the rest of the Wald Pictures production set today.

"Death Is Coming" and "The Butterfly Effect".

And, coincidentally, the movie "Death is Coming" will be closed today.

"Mr. Wald, you are welcome."

As the film director of "Death is Coming", James Huang (Huang Yiyu), was very happy for Zu Ke's presence. All directors are willing to have a good relationship with the production company, that's their way of survival.

"Mr. Wald~"

"Mr. Wald, good morning~"

The actors and actresses of the male and female protagonists of the movie "Death is Coming" couldn't wait to say hello to Zhu Ke.

Devon Sawa (male) and Ali Larter (female), the male and female protagonists of the official "Death Comes" movie, although they are not well-known, even 10 years later, they have not become popular in Hollywood. A movie star, but his personal performance is not bad.

Zucker did not favor one over the other, and still had a pleasant chat with them.

Finally, when only director James Huang was left around, did we get to the point.

"Director Huang, Kevin Feige should have told you, when will 'Death Come' be released?" Zucker said.

"That's right!"

James Huang nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Fitch informed me that 'Death Is Coming' must be completed and released before the end of October."

Speaking of this, James Huang suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

You must know that it is already the end of September, and the end of October is less than a month away. Even if the movie "Death Is Coming" will be closed today, the editing, dubbing, soundtracking, and submitting to the American Film Institute for review.... ...all take time.

1 month is really urgent.

"We all understand your concerns."

Zucker laughed: "The special effects work of the movie,

I've talked to Lucas yesterday, and it's basically done, with only some finishing touches left, so I don't have many concerns about special effects;"

"For post-editing, dubbing, soundtracking, etc., I will also dispatch a group of elites from Wald Pictures to work overtime to complete it;"

"Of course, the most pressing issue remains the Motion Picture Association of America review."

When the voice fell, James Huang nodded.

"As far as I know, the film review and classification committee under the American Film Institute usually takes more than one month or even longer to review films that are not in the Big Six." James Huang said.

The classification committee under the American Film Institute has always been the private land of the six major Hollywood.

The only 7 seats are currently occupied by Universal, Warner, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Disney, Sony Columbus, and the former Hollywood giant MGM.

A seat on the grading committee is one of the hallmarks of Hollywood giants.

You are not one of the Big Six companies, and you don’t have the background of the Big Six behind the scenes, so the film you submit will be reviewed and graded, and you will definitely be made difficult.

Delaying the review time is one of the common methods.

"Haha! Don't worry, although Wald Pictures is not a top Hollywood giant and does not have a seat on the grading committee, I am confident that they won't get stuck in my neck in terms of review and grading." Zu Ke said confidently.

"Oh?" James Huang immediately showed a shocked look.

Zucker's words are by no means arrogant, and in today's Wald Pictures, not everyone can easily handle it.

"Is there any problem now?" Zucker asked with a smile.

Director James Huang immediately assured: "There is no problem, I am sure that the movie "Death Is Coming" can be released during Halloween."

As for the film's test screening, premiere, theater arrangement...  

Waiting for these questions, he didn't ask too much, because he knew that Wald Pictures could easily handle it all.

The Halloween period has always been a hot period for horror/thriller movies.

Naturally, Wald Pictures will not miss it.

In previous years, Wald Pictures has successively launched the "Deadly Bend" series and the "Human Clearance Project" series, which have always been popular films during the Halloween season and have been highly anticipated by fans. However, Wald Pictures did not release a new sequel to either film this year.

Too much!

Whether it's a new episode of the "Deadly Bend" series or a new episode of "Human Clearance", Zucker can guarantee that once it is released, it will be able to harvest a lot of money at the box office, but in order to extend the life cycle of the two film series , Zucker decided to suspend for a year to maintain a sense of anticipation and freshness.

This year's Halloween schedule, Wald Films is playing "Death is Coming"!

......

afternoon.

Zucker came to the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" again.

Directors Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan prepared everything early.

Michael Fassbinger, who plays the male lead;

Amy Adams as the heroine;

...

When the crew of the crew saw Zhu Ke's arrival, they immediately burst into shouts and applause.

"I don't have anything to say, if there is, I'll just say you guys did a great job!"

"Do you think I am exaggerating you?"

"That's right, I'm just... complimenting you!"

"My God~ Your work has been done so well. As the boss, if I can't see this, am I going to be blind?"

"Todd Phillips, you sweet guy. Back when you were the assistant director of the Got Talent variety show a few years ago, I thought you should be filming, and sure enough, you didn't even know you were making films. How brilliant."

"Christopher Nolan, you're the second director of The Butterfly Effect, co-directing the film with Todd Phillips, and you've done a pretty good job. Well, you said you were going to take a break, and now that you've had enough, my hands There are a lot of projects in there, waiting for you to be the director."

Whether it was the male and female lead actors in the crew, or others, Zucker first praised him fiercely. Well, anyway, he said something nice and didn't spend any money.

Why not do it?

For the two directors Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan, Zucker is naturally indescribable love. After all, they can make good movies for Zucker and make money for themselves.

No need to say more about Nolan. Movies such as "Batman: The Dark Knight" trilogy and "Inception" pushed him to the altar in one fell swoop, and he was called "God Nolan" by everyone.

Todd Phillips is a rookie director right now, but he's definitely not.

The low-cost movie "Host" series, each of which has swept hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office worldwide. As a director, how is he a generalist?

What's more, the famous "Joker 2019" movie was also directed by Todd Phillips.

......

a new day.

sunny~

Zucker received an invitation.

An invitation from Paramount Pictures about the Tomb Raider movie project.

"what?"

"Jordan, did you make a mistake, old man?"

"Yes yes yes. I intend to join your "Tomb Raider" project, but I only have the idea of ​​participating in the investment, and I have no idea of ​​being a producer myself?"

"You know, I'm busy!"

For nearly a year, Zucker has been very busy. Even for his own movies, Zucker has no time to be the producer himself, not to mention the invitation from Paramount now?

Jordan said on the phone: "Zuk, although I'm part of Paramount, I have my own position, but now I'm in the position of a friend, and I think you should accept this invitation. It's from the Hollywood Six. One of the kindness of Paramount Pictures~”

invite?

bona fide?

Zucker: "......"

In fact, Zucker knew what Jordan meant.

Among the major Hollywood film companies, there are many filth and competition, but there is also no lack of cooperation.

"Zuck, you need to know one thing. Wald Pictures has always done production work alone, which is not conducive to expanding your network, and will make others think you are a lone wolf. You know, the major Hollywood studios , for the lone wolf, it must be suppressed."

"As a friend, I think you should think about it."

"By accepting this invitation and becoming the producer of the "Tomb Raider" project, you are accepting the goodwill of Paramount, so your relationship with Paramount in the future must be more cooperation than competition."

"Similarly, the six major companies such as Universal, Sony Columbia, Disney, etc. will cooperate with you more in the future. In this way, your Wald Pictures can have more living space."

Jordan's remarks can be described as rude and not rude.

" "The first more is sent.
