Hollywood Starts with Animation

Two days later.

James and Ray Warner, as collaborators, have officially signed a director and screenwriter contract with Wald Pictures.

The movie "Chainsaw" is officially approved!

1. The production cost of the film is estimated to be $1.2 million;

2. James Wen served as the director of the film, and the director's salary was $150,000;

3. Ray Warner served as the screenwriter of the film, and also served as the male lead, with a salary of $140,000;

4. Wald Pictures acquired the full copyright of the "Chainsaw" film, as well as all subsequent sequels of the series, for which it paid $100,000 to James, Wen, and Ray Warner;

......

There are 42 articles in total, which clearly state the rights and obligations of both parties.

Of course, the dominant position in the treaty is still Wald Pictures.

In the cooperation between individuals and enterprises, the most profitable party must be the enterprise with huge social resources.

"Congratulations, Wen, you have officially become a Hollywood director, not an assistant director!" President Kevin Feige stepped forward to congratulate you.

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

James Wen (Wen Ziren) is very excited at the moment.

As a Malaysian Chinese, oh no, now American Chinese, it is not easy for him to make his mark in Hollywood.

The exclusion of skin color is inevitable!

But...he was lucky too!

Having just stepped into Hollywood, he was very fortunate to enter Wald Pictures, and also served as an assistant director on the crew of "Blacking Drummer", which Zucker himself directed.

tsk tsk~

This starting point is indeed the envy of many people.

"Wen, congratulations, your wish has come true!" Ray Warner, an alumnus and friend, was also excited.

He gave Wen Ziren a big bear hug.

"Haha, man, you succeeded too!" Wen was very happy.

Indeed~

If Wen Ziren is the father of "The Chainsaw", then Ray Warner, the screenwriter of the film and the lead male lead, is the mother of "The Chainsaw";

After a while~

Kevin Feige asked, "Wen, when are you going to start the Saw project?"

Wen Ziren resisted the joy and immediately responded: "Of course the sooner the better, I can't wait to start filming it now, if possible, I hope it can be released on Halloween this year!"

Ray Warner: "I listen to Mr. Fitch."

"Can."

Kevin Feige nodded and said, "I will arrange the film project of "The Saw" to Gavin O'Connor, and he will help you arrange it as soon as possible."

The two thanked them immediately.

Gavin O'Connor, deputy director of production at Wald Pictures, is a powerful figure and a veteran Hollywood filmmaker.

After speaking for a while, Kevin Feige left the conference room with a group of the company's legal team.

He is so busy!

"One wave has not settled, another wave has risen!"

The DVDs and videotapes of the "Spider-Man" movie are in the hot sale period in the offline market;

And what comes with this is to focus on the announcement of another Wald Films movie-"District 9"!

The film "District 9" is directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Kevin Feige himself, and the production cost is 30 million US dollars.

A film with a medium production cost, but one that Zucker likes very much!

Among Zucker's expected goals, the "District 9" movie will create a small and broad sci-fi movie miracle!

"The aliens came to the earth, must they be hostile to attack the earth?"

For example: the movie "Independence Day".

"NO!"

"Aliens come to earth, will they choose to be friends with little girls?"

For example: the movie "E·T".

"NO!"

"Aliens came to the earth without much fanfare, but chose to hide in a low-key manner, disguised as human beings, and always harbored the idea of ​​destroying the earth?"

For example: the movie "Men in Black".

"NO!"

"In the inherent impression of most of us, aliens and humans are basically opposites, and alien civilizations often occupy higher-level civilizations. So is there any kind of aliens that come to earth? , is it an interstellar refugee?"

"That's right, the movie "District 9" is about a group of alien interstellar refugees living a miserable life on Earth!"

This group of ugly aliens who came from afar, not only did not have the ability to attack the earth and destroy it, but they were confined to a place called "Ninth District" by humans.

Humans bully them, make fun of them, deprive them of all their human rights...

Treat them like ridiculous clowns!

Everything, just like the former Western colonizers came to the United States with the so-called "God's Whip" and ruthlessly oppressed and slaughtered the Indians.

The unique perspective and novel settings make the alien-themed film "The Ninth District" so different.

Kevin Feige said: "The 'Ninth District' movie is the most important movie for Wald Pictures in the first half of the year."

Director Christopher Nolan: "It's my personal favorite after Memento."

Zucker: "In a word, it only costs 30 million US dollars, it will make the whole market understand that science fiction movies don't have to be big investments, they can also be small and big!"

The entire Wald Pictures, including the parent company Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, has high hopes for the film "The Ninth District".

The "District 9" movie will be released in North America on the 25th of this month.

However... here comes the problem!

The movie released on the 25th is not only the new film "District 9" by Wald Pictures, but also a very strong opponent!

- "Pearl Harbor"!

Directed by Michael Bay, the film stars Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett, and is co-produced and distributed by Disney and DreamWorks.

The movie "Pearl Harbor" is definitely a big-budget movie that gathers stars.

Director Michael Bay, also known as "Exploding Bay".

"Jedi Men", "Peerless Catastrophe", "Brave the Dead Island", "Transformers" ......

He has shot a series of outstanding commercial blockbusters, and is a director who can "explode", "explode", "explode" from beginning to end.

His style of filming is an "explosion"!

However, he couldn't stand his appeal in commercial films, and many moviegoers liked his style from beginning to end.

Actor Ben Affleck;

Actress Kate Beckinsale;

The two of them are both famous and famous in Hollywood now. I dare not say that their acting skills are top-notch, but in terms of popularity, they are both very good now.

The most important thing is that the producer and distributor of the film is the Disney Group.

Um?

Well, DreamWorks is also involved, but mainly the Disney Group as one of the Big Six in Hollywood!

In addition, the production cost of the film alone is as high as 140 million US dollars, which is definitely the most expensive movie in Hollywood in 2001!

"ninth District"?

"Pearl Harbor"?

Hehe, now that the two films are about to be released at the same time, there is bound to be a strong collision.

As the distributors of both parties, that is, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, the parent company of Wald Pictures, and Disney Group, the first confrontation between the two will also begin!

The crowd who eat melons are strong onlookers.

That's right, Hollywood colleagues and major film companies are in the wait-and-see stage one after another.

" "The second is sent.
