Chapter 337 After Playing Warner and Paramount

"What about sobering up?"

In the living room of the villa at home, Zucker woke up from yesterday's carnival early in the morning and was eating breakfast at the moment.

Joaquin Phoenix, who came down the stairs with a drowsy face, didn't show any kindness to Zucker. He stretched out his hand to pick up a glass of milk and drank it.

"Hey~ It seems that I really drank too much yesterday, um, let's put it this way, I don't know how I'm in your house now?"

Joaquin held his forehead, showing a trace of sadness.

Hearing this, Zu Ke smiled and said, "Hahaha, it seems that you really drank too much yesterday and forgot everything. Yesterday was in a nightclub, whether it was you, Charlize, or Keanu Reeves. , John Nidepp, they all drank too much, only Limark and I managed a little."

"Oh? Now... where are they?" Joaquin asked.

"Last night, when we were leaving the night market, Keanu was picked up by his girlfriend; Charlize was sent home by her two agents; and Depp is still in the guest room. Sleeping, he drank the most yesterday, and it is estimated that he will not want to wake up before noon." Zhu Ke explained.

"Is that so, did you and Lima do something good last night~"

Suddenly, Joaquin showed a wicked smile.

good thing?

Go to yours!

Zucker scolded angrily: "The Lima family are all devout Christians and refuse to have sex before marriage. What do you think about all day long?!"

"No way!" Joaquin was immediately surprised.

He knew that Zucker had been dating Lima for several years.

After a pause, he smiled wickedly again: "I said why did you get up so early, it turned out to be... hehe..."

Classmate Zhu Ke is bitter!

Even though Zhu Ke didn't open the red sofa and unspoken rules, he still slept with a few female stars. He was a blessing to everyone. However, as his own girlfriend Lima, Zu Ke was very tolerant. Yes, so far has not been able to hit base.......

In the next time, Zucker and Joaquin had a good chat.

Being a part of Hollywood, its chat content naturally includes movies.

"When will we work together again?" Joaquin is very happy to appear in Wald Pictures' films.

"Hey~"

Zucker sighed: "There are still new films to be filmed this year, but they are all low-budget films. You know, only the two A-level first-tier commercial productions of "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man" have transferred our company. Huge human and material resources, and until they are over, it is impossible to make high-cost films."

The lack of various talents has seriously restricted the development of Wald Pictures!

Even if Wald Pictures is not short of money at the moment, senior workers and talents are definitely not something that can be solved in a short time.

"CAA, ICM, UTA, WMEE and other brokerage companies, can't they provide packaging services? Photographers, lighting engineers, props, etc., they are all short of talents." Joaquin said in surprise.

Package service?

Ha ha!

Zhu Ke said with disdain: "If it was a few years ago, even if I was unhappy with the brokerage company's bundled one-stop package service, I would still be able to accept it for filming, but... Now, the talents they can provide are really average. ."

The so-called American entertainment package service was first developed by the CAA brokerage company.

The film company provides projects and funds;

When a brokerage company produces actors, remember that not just one actor, but all actors can provide it, eliminating the need for the selection process of the production company, and even the director, producer, props, makeup, art and other crew members.

It is also a one-stop service.

There is no doubt that the package service project launched by the brokerage company has saved many film companies a lot of preparation time, and the choice of actors is no longer a problem.

Rising in the 80's and peaking in the 90's.

But... Flowers are no better than a hundred days, and people are no longer young. The package service fees provided by brokerage companies are too high, which is unbearable for many production companies. It is good to make money, but it will be bad if you lose money. Even the soaring salaries of Hollywood actors are a factor in package services.

This is abhorrent to countless studios.

Furthermore, there are many brokers who exist in a brokerage company, rushing into the office of the president of the film company without asking for instructions, shooting the table top, arrogant and bossy!

Among them, even the six major Hollywood has not been spared!

For example: in the early 1990s, when the movie "Jurassic Park" was being filmed, a small agent dared to rush into the office of the CEO of Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood studios, to make a fuss.

What is this for?

Brokerage company to rebel? To be above the production company?

Therefore, the once-famous American entertainment packaging service was no longer available at the end of the 1990s. Even if its packaging service still existed, there were very few professional behind-the-scenes talents that could be provided. The key is that the fees are quite expensive, and it has completely become a tasteless existence.

"Talents still have to be recruited and cultivated by myself. I don't worry about other people's."

"Besides, I'm not short of money. I'd rather spend more money on my family than give a dime to the agency!"

Zu Ke's remarks seemed very firm.

"Okay, I see." Joaquin was disappointed.

He is very willing to cooperate with Wald Pictures a lot, but the current conditions do not allow it!

Wald Pictures lacks manpower to develop several movies at the same time, and the movies that are opened now will only be low-budget movies.

......

a few days later.

November 8.

Wald Pictures.

The movie "Death Is Coming", which was released on October 29, has already achieved a box office of more than 57 million US dollars in 10 days, ranking first among all the movies in the Halloween schedule.

Keep the Warners movie "Haunted House" firmly behind you.

"Boss, as long as we fight the next battle well, then the North American box office of the movie "Death Is Coming" will definitely not be lower than 80 million US dollars." Kevin Feige reported.

"Next?"

Zucker frowned and said, "Are you assigning Ramon Pictures' new movie "Headless Valley" to be released tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

Kevin Feige said solemnly: "I was invited to attend the premiere of "Headless Valley" before. It is a good movie, and the marketing department has given it a lot of praise, and it is expected to be quite good. box office performance.”

Zucker knew that.

The "Headless Valley" movie is indeed an excellent horror/thriller movie. It has achieved a box office of over 100 million in North America in the original time and space. It is a rare boutique in horror movies.

In terms of visibility, whether it is "Death Comes 1" or Warner's "Haunted House", they are not as good as Paramount's new work "Sleepy Hollow".

"Once "Sleepy Hollow" takes off, then our movie box office is bound to suffer." Kevin Feige said.

Zhu Ke pondered: "What else to consider, although I will cooperate with Paramount next, it will not prevent us from criticizing it."

Zucker thinks so, so does Warner.

Competition is everywhere in Hollywood.
