Chapter 392 Warner CEO Is Anxious

"The Ninth District" is limited by the production cost, so that many famous actors are unwilling to reduce their salaries to participate in it, but Hollywood is not short of actors!

Without Butcher Zhang, wouldn't we eat pork?

Simply ridiculous!

After the official news was announced, in just a few days, the brokerage company and broker representatives of Wald Pictures appeared every day, which is quite a lot.

James McAvoy, is one of them.

In early 1996, the young "Professor X" starred in the first film "Lola Run" by Wald Pictures, in which he played the leading role.

With the overseas box office of "Lola Run" exceeding 100 million, he can be regarded as emerging in Hollywood and become one of the young actors of the new generation of Hollywood.

He is so grateful for Zucker!

"In fact, he also has to thank Zucker."

Without Zucker's crossing, James McAvoy didn't get a small role in "Band of Brothers" until 2001, and then went up and down for a few years, with "The Chronicles of Narnia", "X-Men" : The first battle has just risen completely.

James McAvoy was the first to respond after Wald Pictures announced the casting interview.

At the same time, he also made a phone call to Zucker himself.

"Have a heart."

"James McAvoy, I can't give you a guarantee right now that you'll get the lead role in District 9, but... as long as your performance is good enough to impress me, then you'll be the lead actor. ."

"Relax~"

"However, I have something to say."

"Your age is a disadvantage. At 21 years old, many roles are not suitable."

Zucker chose ugly words to the front.

The film "The Ninth District" has certain requirements for the character of the male protagonist.

The first is that he has a wide range of social experience. Therefore, his age should not be too young. About 30 years old is the most suitable.

Professor X is still too young!

"Thank you, Mr. Wald, I see." James McAvoy on the other end of the phone was a little depressed at the moment.

"Hahaha~"

Zucker laughed and said, "You're still young, man. Even without this 'District 9', you'd have a lot of opportunities."

"Really?!"

Suddenly, James McAvoy was full of surprises, and the depression was swept away.

He knew that Zucker was comforting him, and at the same time, it was hinting at him - I'll give you a chance.

That's right!

He guessed it right!

Zucker is currently planning a new movie - "Dancing Out of My Life".

In the recent past, Zucker has successively acquired a number of Hollywood film and television companies, and has also launched an acquisition of Summit Entertainment, but... Summit Entertainment has rejected Zucker.

It stands to reason, ah, buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous. Even if everyone fails to reach an acquisition, that's fine.

But it is not so!

Summit Entertainment Chairman Patrick Watzberg, who suffered heavy losses in the Internet bubble, is angered and has nowhere to go. No, he vented all his anger on the representatives sent by Zucker.

Moreover, he openly declared in the media: "Zuck Wald, wishful thinking!"

Zucker was annoyed.

"You ungrateful animal!"

"If that's the case, don't blame me for being shameless!"

In the future, Summit Entertainment will have many good things. The two sides have already had a grudge, and Zhu Ke will naturally not let it go easily, and he must teach a lesson.

The "Dance Out of My Life" movie series is one of the signatures of Future Summit Entertainment.

But now?

"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's mine!" Zucker thought to himself.

After Hollywood entered the 21st century, sci-fi, action, thriller, love and other themed films can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, and they are famous for a while.

In addition to "Chicago" and "High School Musical", the "Dancing Out of My Life" series of films is famous at home and abroad.

Cut Hu?

Hehe, does Zhu Ke do this kind of thing less often? !

......New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer:

Warner Bros. Pictures.

"Failed!"

"We originally hoped that after the merger of Time Warner Group and AOL, we would be able to achieve a result of 1+1 greater than 2, but who knew that the current internal struggle would be so intense."

Steve Ross, chairman of Time Warner Group, was furious.

Is 1+1 greater than 2?

The combination of the two major media, the old and the new, did not play a positive role. Instead, the conflict and struggle were serious, and the struggle did not stop for almost a moment.

For now, the combination of the two major media, 1+1 equals 1 is not bad.

Pulling the hind legs, it's too bad for Nima!

dong dong dong~

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

The person who came in was Barry Mayer, CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, a subsidiary of Time Warner!

"Boss, this is the news you want from Wald Pictures," said Barry Mayer.

Submit a document.

Steve Ross scanned the information for a long time, and sighed: "Zuck Wald is really cunning, the $30 million production cost of "District 9" will actually stir up the situation in this way , you can be said to be young!"

"Indeed."

Barry Mayer is also very shrewd, saying: "It stands to reason that "District 9" is just an ordinary sci-fi movie, but Wald Pictures did the opposite and used ultra-low production costs to make it. Promote it, attract people's attention, and get huge attention!"

The two chatted again.

But after chatting, we talked about the "Spider-Man" movie that Wald Pictures will release soon.

"The "Spider-Man" movie can be said to be the ambition of Wald Pictures!"

"As we all know, Marvel has thousands of superhero comics and is the only one in the United States that can be compared to our DC comics."

"Blade Runner has achieved good results and opened up a world for Marvel."

"Although Zucker Wald has not acquired the equity of Marvel, he holds dozens of Marvel superhero copyrights. Once "Spider-Man" has achieved unprecedented success, then the Hulk, Captain America, Thor and other superheroes are bound to land in theaters one after another."

"By then, even if we have Superman, Batman, Flash, etc. movies, it will be a step behind."

Barry Mayer's analysis is straight to the point.

However... useless!

Barry Mayer was planning to reboot the Batman and Superman movies long before Zucker announced the start of "Spider-Man."

However, at that time, Time Warner was busy negotiating mergers and acquisitions with AOL, and where did it have the time to restart Batman and Superman?

now what?

He was busy with internal struggles, fighting for power and profit, and no one supported his Barry Mayer proposal.

Steve Ross, chairman of Time Warner Group, patted Barry Mayer on the shoulder and sighed: "You're worried about being one step behind others, and I'm equally anxious, but...AOL bastards know a hammer. movie!"

Saying a thousand words and ten thousand words, Time Warner cannot gain the right to speak in the new company, so restarting Batman and Superman is impossible.

......

the next day.

Zhu Ke sits at the headquarters of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group and holds a representative meeting of all subsidiaries.

There is only one purpose!

That is the overall energy of the operation group. Before "Spider-Man" is released, it will coordinate the full copyright operation of "Spider-Man".

Movies, comics, radio, magazines, books, peripheral products, peripheral licensing, games...  

Use all available means to maximize the benefits of Spider-Man.
