Hollywood Starts with Animation

Thanks to the popularity of the film "Titanic" in the global market, James Cameron, the director of the film, has a reputation that has broken through the sky!

In recent interviews with many media and newspapers, he was a little drifting while walking.

After all, the film's box office performance completely exceeded his previous expectations.

"what?"

"You said my blade rumors, if the box office fails, I wipe my neck?!"

"Man, are you kidding me?"

"As the director of 'Titanic', of course I believe my film will be successful, I'm Cameron! Don't forget, when I was shooting Terminator 1, I received less cynicism ?"

"So in recent months, I don't care about the pressure that the media, theaters, and producers have put on me. Instead, these will become my motivation to move forward!"

"I expected the box office to explode!"

I have to say, if you don't have a good eloquence in Hollywood, you can't do the director's job. Otherwise, you can't stand the run on the media alone.

Cameron has experienced a low point for several months, as well as the cynicism of the media, and now that the box office of the movie is exploding, he naturally has to quibble.

Don't be offended!

Even if he is a world-famous director, he is also a person!

Moreover, he is touting these at the moment, also for the consideration of the movie box office.

Is it time to tell media reporters and movie audiences that the explosion of movie box office is an accident now?

Telling the truth in this case will inevitably lose a part of the box office!

Even if Cameron agreed, Paramount and 20th Century Fox, as producers, would not let him do it!

What to do now?

Blow it up and you're done!

Therefore, when Cameron was interviewed by the media at this moment, he would say that he did not have the slightest pressure. It was not until 1999, when Cameron became famous, that he confessed how much pressure he had at that time, almost crushing him; he also confessed that he did not expect to achieve appalling box office results,

And ready to go to work as a truck driver.

In the history of the original time and space, "Titanic" has won the North American box office champion for 15 consecutive weeks, and the global box office has exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars, which is definitely a miracle.

Zucker invested $85 million to get 25% of Titanic's revenue, including the studio's eventual box-office dividend, peripheral, DVD and video market dividends.

There is no doubt that Zucker's investment made a big profit!

......

End of February 1998.

The preparatory work for the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" has been successfully completed, and the selection of the main characters has been officially announced.

Zach Snyder is the director of the film;

Zu Ke, who had been idle for two months, personally served as the producer of the film;

Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Pictures, also served as the second producer of the film, making every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the film.

In fact, long before the casting of "Spartan 300 Warriors" was announced, many Hollywood brokerage companies received rumors and began to contact Wald Pictures to fight for roles and mirrors for their own artists and actors.

"Juno", "Human Removal Project", "The Sixth Sense"...

Although Wald Pictures has not been established for a long time, Zucker, who is the boss, is a man who has made a big deal. In recent years, it has produced and released many high-grossing films. Now that we are going to start shooting a new film, how can we not attract the attention of actors from all walks of life in Hollywood?

The production cost of "Spartan 300" is as high as 60 million US dollars, which is the highest production cost of a single film since the founding of Wald Pictures.

A movie with such a production cost, even if looking at the whole of Hollywood, is not comparable to the first-tier productions of the six major Hollywood productions, and it is also the best among the second-tier productions.

How can those actors be restrained?

This is a great opportunity for promotion.

Wald Pictures is not an obscure film company these days!

It is under the Big Six in Hollywood, second only to the existence of several film and television companies such as DreamWorks, Touchstone, and New Line Pictures, and has a distribution network all over the United States.

......

CAA Brokerage Company.

"Darren, the hero of "300 Spartans", it must be me!"

Matt Damon stared at his agent, Darren Scottie, and warned: "Don't screw it up this time, after all, we've already missed it once."

"I see."

Agent Darren nodded heavily.

Matt Damon actually regrets it!

You must know that in early 1996, when Zucker established Wald Pictures, he personally served as the director and started the filming of "Lola Run", but he invited Matt Damon to serve as the male lead of the film. However, because the CAA brokerage company strongly wanted to win the dominance of the film and packaged other roles, it directly led to the collapse of the two talks.

Since then, Zucker skipped the CAA agency directly when choosing actors for multiple films.

"You, a small film company that was established not long ago, really regard themselves as gods?!"

"Rookie director, hehe~!"

This is the rhetoric made by the agent Darren at Wald Pictures.

This move offended Wald Pictures and Zucker himself.

But offend you offend!

Matt Damon and his agent, Darren Scotty, didn't care. Is it like an elephant needing to care about an ant that can be trampled to death at any time?

However......

However, now Wald Pictures has been promoted to a well-known second-tier film company in Hollywood. As the boss, Zhu Ke is a shareholder of many well-known listed companies, and has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars.

The status has flipped!

Matt Damon, who looks cute but is actually extremely shrewd, has long wanted to ease the relationship. Now that he heard that "Spartan 300" has started casting, where can he still sit still?

"Even if I can't win the leading actor and main role in this movie, I can send a message of apology to Mr. Wald by taking the initiative to appear at the casting site."

I have to say that Matt Damon is smart enough and a chicken thief.

In other words, no one who can succeed in Hollywood is an idiot! Even the lucky ones who get the upper hand, if they are not shrewd enough, will be quickly eliminated from the game.

......

William Morris Agency.

"Joaquin, you are someone who has worked with Wald Films several times. This time they are about to start shooting "Spartan 300", a movie with an investment of up to 60 million US dollars. We can't miss anything." Ancestor Domund said excitedly.

Hearing this, Joaquin Phoenix nodded heavily.

Although he is young, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how could he have collaborated with Wald Pictures on many movies when others are not optimistic about Wald Pictures.

"Deadly Turn 1" actor;

The villain of "Human Erasure Plan";

Joaquin Phoenix has worked with Wald Pictures to his advantage.

The agent, Ancestry Domund, said again: "I have seen the introduction of the film. The actor King Leonidas needs a more mature and muscular actor to play the role. We have no role. But the film's second male lead , Male No. 3, we can fight for it, after all, this is a movie with a production cost of 60 million US dollars."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Joaquin Phoenix responded.

......

at the same time.

After learning that the "Spartan 300 Warriors" produced by Wald Pictures is about to start casting, the major economic companies have begun to act.

The male protagonist King Leonidas and the female protagonist Queen Leonidas, these two major roles are the top priority for them!

I have to say that Wald Pictures has really grown and developed. From the initial initiative to invite actors, they are often rejected, and now it has become a situation where actors are swarming.

" "The first more is sent.
