Hollywood Starts with Animation

The filming period of the film "Boom Drummer" passed, and it went into post-production without any pause.

One word, fast!

Zucker also personally participated in the editing of the film. In just a few days, he roughly cut a 130-minute finished film. Of course, this is only the result of rough cuts, not the final piece. Not much else to say, the final film will definitely not exceed 100 minutes.

On this day, Wald Pictures organized an insider viewing.

The content of the screening is the rough cut "Boom Drummer".

"Everyone, what do you think?" Zucker asked everyone.

Everyone present, look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to comment, after all, this is a movie shot by my own boss.

Kevin Feige said: "Boss, I've watched the entire 'Drummer' and gave it a rating. It's a good movie, but ... the box office is not expected to be ideal."

The voice fell.

Everyone present looked at each other.

Zhu Ke also asked curiously, "How do you say it?"

Kevin Feige continued: "The core content of the film "The Bursting Drummer" says that 'only extremes and paranoia can reach the highest peak', in this regard, it is somewhat contrary to the mainstream values ​​of Europe and the United States, and it's not free '."

Zucker nodded.

The children's education model of European and American families is in the free-range type; on the other hand, the Eastern family education model mostly talks about "filial sons from sticks", and believes that only after countless hardships can they become talents.

Lao Guo, a well-known non-mainstream crosstalk actor, once said on Weibo: "Smooth sailing is not a good thing. Since childhood, no one has said anything cruel to him. At the age of 65, whoever glared at him on the street died suddenly. However, since he was born, he has been slapped every day, and by the age of 25, he will live like a jerk and a living king."

Honestly, it's ridiculous.

And yet... in a way, it makes some sense!

"Boss, the production cost of "Boom Drummer" is 3 million US dollars, and the budget for publicity and distribution is about 5 million US dollars, but based on the opinions given by the marketing department,

Its North American box-office performance hardly exceeds $15 million. "Kevin Feige said sonorously.

"Agree."

Gavin O'Connor, the deputy director of the production department, who is also the supporting actor in the film "Boom Drummer", said at the moment: "The North American box office of 15 million US dollars, this is the reason why you have a certain appeal boss, otherwise, 1000 $10,000 is dead."

Zuke's mouth twitched slightly.

Before the film started, he knew that "Boom Drummer" was a good work, but he didn't know much about the film's box office performance.

......

Zu Ke looked around and pondered: "The European and American film market, I don't count on it. Then, can "Boom Drummer" be successful in the Asian market? Well, or there is a great probability of success."

Once this topic was thrown, it once again caused discussions among many executives.

The West is not bright, the East is ********oss, this movie is really likely to achieve a counterattack in the Asian box office market. "Kevin Feige said solemnly.

Gavin O'Connor followed up and said: "The core values ​​of "Boom Drummer" echo the traditional thinking of the East, and it really has the potential to achieve high box office in the Asian market."

Zu Ke humbly accepts everyone's rhetoric.

In the history of the original time and space, the box office performance of "Boom Drummer" in Europe and the United States is really average, but it has really achieved a high evaluation in the Asian market, and the box office harvest is also full.

Especially in the Korean movie market, it has broken a series of movie attendance records.

The $3 million production cost of "Bumper," which grossed more than $130 million worldwide, is the strongest illustration.

........

at the same time.

Providence High School, America.

Damien Chazelle is back at school after filming the film "Blitzkrieg". He was able to participate in Zucker's film and play the male lead, which made many classmates around him think it was cool.

"Damien, you are so lucky to be spotted by Mr. Wald and starred in a movie. You are still the number one male. Dude, you are so enviable." His classmate George envied.

"indeed!"

Classmate Diano echoed: "Let's not say anything else, all the drummers in our school band are envious."

Many people around Damien do have reason to be jealous.

When Damien just entered high school, he became obsessed with jazz drums. He could practice drums for 6 hours a day. He was just like Andrew, the hero of "The Cracking Drummer", and he was determined to become a jazz drummer. Soon after, he met a very strict music teacher. Under the teacher's tune, he was selected into the jazz band of high school students in the United States. The scenery was infinite, but... it also made him struggle in pain. for a long time.

Damien Chazelle had no choice but to give up because he wasn't supposed to make music after all.

He quit the band!

The trajectory of his life is almost identical to that of Andrew, the protagonist of "The Cracking Drummer".

So Zucker said, "There's no one better than him for the male lead."

At this moment, Damien Chazelle, who returned from filming, was relieved.

"Guys, I have an impulsive thought right now, no, I have a dream, I want to be a director!" Damien said.

Dreaming of becoming a director?

Classmate George: "Damien, I support you!"

Classmate Diano: "Dude, let's go. This is cool! As for the other jealous guys, let them continue to be jealous~"

......

America - A small town in Wisconsin.

The filming location of the movie "The Old Woman Killer".

"Mr. Simmons, we finally got you here."

J.K. Simmons, who has just finished filming the film "Booming Drummer", will play a supporting role in the "Old Woman Killer" movie, well, probably a small supporting role outside the male No. 8.

Producer Nate Gabi said: "Setter, didn't you see Mr. Simmons coming in a hurry? Why don't you get Mr. Simmons a cup of coffee?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Simmons and said enthusiastically: "Simmons, with you joining the cast of "The Old Woman Killer", my heart that was originally uneasy is now much more settled, and the old drama is worthy of being an old drama!"

enthusiasm!

Extreme enthusiasm!

Simmons: "..."

To be honest, Simmons is a little confused right now.

More than two months ago, Simmons competed for the role of the male No. 3 in "The Old Woman Killer", and he failed, not because of poor acting skills, but because the producer in front of him, Nate Gabi, rejected him, only to be able to He played a small supporting role outside the male No. 8 in the play.

The attitude before and after is too different.

Producer Assistant Saite: "........"

Seth was also a little confused at the moment.

His own boss is notorious for "putting a bad face". He is very flattering to the bigwigs in the film and television industry, and it is absolutely difficult for him to give a good face to those unknown actors.

hehe~

All in all, it's all because Simmons starred in the movie "Blitzkrieg" and is the second male lead.

This is a work directed by Zu Ke himself!

At the same time, Tom Hardy and Megan Fox, who played the more important roles in "The Bursting Drummer", have also become the envy of other contracted artists within the Blue Bird Agency for nearly half a month.

Because of Zucker, their lives have changed unknowingly.

The second update of "" was delivered, and the minister continued to open the code.
