Four Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Open Life

The shooting base of Zucker 1.

The shooting base is located in Tennessee, a small town under the administration of the Burbank area. The local population is only more than 10,000 people. Don’t think that there are too many people.

Since the end of 1999, Wald Pictures, a subsidiary of Zucker, spent $150 million to build a new "Zuck 1" shooting base here, covering an area of ​​about 90 acres, about 360,000 square meters, and 51 football fields. size.

It was not until the beginning of 2001 that the "Zuke No. 1" shooting base was completed and put into use.

Don't think that the "Zuck 1" shooting base is huge, in fact, compared to the studios and shooting bases of Warner and Paramount, this is small.

At the same time, the shooting base is equipped with a series of the latest shooting equipment, as well as a series of related sets of modern cities, ancient cities, and various historical periods, which can basically meet most of the shooting needs.

"$150 million, is it a lot?"

"Do not!"

"In the follow-up, the shooting base will continue to invest funds. While meeting the shooting needs of Wald Pictures, it will also undertake the shooting needs of other Hollywood film companies."

Once upon a time, when Wald Pictures filmed films, they rented the studios and shooting bases of Paramount and Fox Pictures, but now Wald Pictures is fully capable of building its own shooting base.

The Zucker No. 1 shooting base was born!

At the same time, the location of the "Zuke No. 2" shooting base in Australia and the "Zuck No. 3" shooting base in Germany are also under planning.

As long as the construction of the two overseas filming bases is completed, it will be of great benefit for Wald Films to handle film tax rebates in Australia and Germany.

Everything, after all, is inseparable from the conflict of interests!

......

The Fast and the Furious crew.

Producer Tucker Gislaus said solemnly to all the crew members: "Since the official opening of the Zhuke No. 1 shooting base, our "Fast and the Furious" crew is the first to film here. the crew."

"I have a request for you.

"

"Of course, this is not only my personal request, but also Mr. Kevin Feige's intention."

"Zuke No. 1 shooting base has just been put into use, and there will inevitably be some places that cannot be considered, um, or some lack of facilities. Therefore, during the filming of "Fast and the Furious", we must be good at finding problems, even if we check Fill in the gaps and quickly report the shortcomings of the Zucker No. 1 shooting base to Mr. Kevin Feige."

The voice fell, and everyone nodded.

Every production crew member recorded it with pen and paper.

Producer Tucker Gislaus is also an old man in Hollywood. He has been a senior producer of the company since Zucker acquired "Hughes" Pictures at the end of 1995 and reorganized it into Wald Pictures. Although there is no great achievement, the victory lies in being safe and experienced.

This is the first time he has undertaken a film with a production cost of more than 30 million US dollars, which makes him attach great importance to it.

"Opportunity!"

"I can't let it go."

"I'm 45 years old this year, and I've wasted half my life. This is almost my last chance. I absolutely have to do it well, and I have to do it very well!"

Producer Tucker Gislaus secretly cheered himself on.

"Mr. Gislaus, you are here, I finally found you."

At this moment, a sound came, interrupting Tucker's thoughts.

"Felina, what's the matter?"

Tucker turned around and found that the person who came was the staff member of the "Fast and the Furious" crew, the assistant of Rob Cohen, the director of the film crew, Ms. Felina.

"Mr. Gislaus, Mr. Zucker Wald is here!!!" Ms. Felina exclaimed.

In an instant, Tucker shuddered: "Where's the boss? Take me there!"

The big boss of his own came, as an employee himself, of course, he had to be extremely attentive.

........

When Tucker rushed here under the guidance of assistant director Felina, he found that Zucker was sitting in front of the director's monitor, chatting with the film's director Rob Cohen.

"Rob, I am very convinced of your courage!"

"My God! The dignified holder of a double master's degree in the Department of Photography and Management at Harvard University has no hesitation to devote himself to Hollywood."

"Just a year later, um, in 1973, at the age of 24, you became the vice president of Fox's TV and film department; at the age of 28, you were the executive vice president of Motown Records and head of the film department."

"Your life is just hanging up!"

"However, I can't figure it out. You were only 30 years old at the time, but you resolutely gave up all management jobs in the film company and turned to become an independent film director and producer. Yes, I am convinced!"

Facing director Rob Cohen, Zucker was amazed by the commercial touts.

Rob Cohen's early life resume is indeed quite awesome.

The position of vice president of Fox's TV and film department is the dream of countless Hollywood workers and has been fighting for half their lives, but what about him?

24-year-old Rob Cohen did just that, becoming the youngest executive among major Hollywood studios at the time.

Countless people are envious.

In the history of the original time and space, Rob Cohen's representative works as a director include "Fast and Furious 1", "Extreme Agent", "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".

The movie "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is one of the few movies in the history of film, and most movie audiences hope that the villain can kill the protagonist, and it is also strange enough.

Rob Cohen loves oriental culture very much, but he didn't study it properly!

In his early years, he also filmed the documentary "Legend of Bruce Lee".

"Hehe~"

Cohen looked at Zucker, waved his hand, and smiled: "Touted, that's what I am. The reason why I gave up the management of major Hollywood studios is because I think those are too troublesome, and I can be an independent person. Director, producer, I feel very comfortable. Well, I have more personal time."

For Zucker's tout, Cohen felt very useful.

More personal time?

Hearing this, Zu Ke nodded understandingly.

You hang on the wall!

To be precise, Cohen and Zucker are both open-ended lives!

Zucker is now walking around at work all day long, and he has never had enough personal time to realize the extravagant life he once fantasized about.

"Boss, you are welcome."

Tucker stepped forward and said excitedly, "Boss, you will come as soon as you come. Why don't you say hello in advance? I can arrange it."

Zhu Ke smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm on vacation today. You know, I'm very busy every day, and I don't have many hobbies, except for film shooting, which I like the most. Today, I'm just here to see."

Tucker nodded.

Many of the employees of Wald Films around them agreed with it.

They still know their boss fairly well, and it's safe to say he's a crazy movie lover.

da da da~

There is a sound of footsteps~

Actors Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, who had just finished their makeup, walked out of the dressing room and came to Zucker.

" "The first more is sent.
