Chapter 219 Death is coming, sweetie
Some office.
Zhu Ke quickly obtained relevant information from James Huang (Huang Yiyu) from his subordinate departments.
Huang Yiyu, born in Xiangjiang, China in 1959, immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. He is a Chinese-American director, screenwriter and producer.
In 1985, he wrote the youth comedy "Boy Next Door"; in 1987, the crime series "Dragon and Tiger Teenager" was premiered; in 1993, he participated in directing the science fiction TV series "X Archives"; in 1996, he participated in the script creation of the science fiction crime series "Millennium Chase";
As he said, he is indeed a director.
However, the more important identity is a screenwriter.
In America, it is not easy to become a theater director and get a film production company to spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars to invest in your movies and dreams.
Why do you convince them?!
Even the famous truck driver James Cameron, who was talented, was unable to find a way out in order to film "Terminator". In the end, he was favored by a female director and was able to successfully film "Terminator".
The woman who helped her was named Catherine Bigelow.
Later she became Cameron's wife, and now she is an ex-wife.
Therefore, as many people say, there are many other factors that Cameron was able to successfully become Terminator, after all, who made Catherine Bigelow, who helped her, later became his wife.
Many things are hard to explain!
As a Chinese director and screenwriter, James Huang is difficult to become a director of theater movies in a country like America with serious racial discrimination.
"Kevin Feige, I think the script of "Death is Coming" is pretty good. Let me talk to him. If it's OK, then I might as well give him a chance."
Zhu Ke said calmly.
Zhuke is a capitalist, and those who can bring benefits are all "friends".
“Yes, boss.”
Man, that's the movie "The God of Death"!
Looking at Hollywood in the 21st century, it is a well-known horror film series that is comparable to series of movies such as "Saw" and "Deadly Bends".
As of 2020, it has filmed six movies "The God of Death" in one fell swoop.
The box office performance is really good.
"Once upon a time, I thought about plagiarizing the movie "The God of Death", but I found that the script existed as early as 1993. It is the backup script of fox TV's "X Archives".
"Due to funding issues, I didn't have much money at that time, so I chose to start filming "Run Lola" and therefore missed "The God of Death".
"However, fate is so strange!"
"If you are willing to plant flowers but don't bloom, you willows and willows will make you shade. Today, it actually delivered it to your door."
"If I miss it again, wouldn't I be a fool?!"
Zhuke laughed as he thought about it.
...
The next morning.
James Huang's home.
"Hey, who?"
"You are Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Pictures?!"
"If you have time, of course, I'll go there now, OK."
When James Huang received a call from Wald Pictures, he immediately looked shocked and then smiled happily.
As for the same sentence, it is very difficult to be favored by film companies and become a director of theater movies in one fell swoop.
The profession of director is something that many people cannot afford!
In the afternoon of that day.
James Huang signed a contract with Wald Pictures for "The Death is Coming".
First, James Huang sold the script and related copyright of "The God of Death" to Wald Pictures for $70,000.
(He bought the script from the original script creator himself and spent $55,000, and he was not losing money.)
Although James Huang lost the copyright of "The God of Death", he also obtained the identity of the filming director of the movie "The God of Death".
$20 million!
This is the production cost of "The Death is Coming" given by Wald Pictures!
"Mr. Huang, please wait patiently. The film is expected to be officially launched around December. If it goes well, it will be filmed at the beginning of next year." Kevin Feige made a promise.
"Thanks."
Although James Huang (Huang Yiyu) is just a new director now, he has also gained a considerable reputation in Hollywood in the future.
In 2001, he produced and directed the science fiction action film "The Ending of the Universe", with Jet Li as the starring actor;
However, he also had times when he was in danger of his later years.
A US version of "Dragon Ball" with a production cost of over 100 million US dollars, well, the movie played by Brother Fat as the Turtle Fairy, was a box office failure, causing heavy losses to the investment company.
Since then, Huang Yiyu has lost the trust of a large company and it is difficult to have the opportunity to direct Hollywood A-level first-line productions.
That's what Hollywood is like!
Whether it is an actor or a director, as long as you mess up a large production of hundreds of millions of dollars, you will inevitably fall to the bottom and it is difficult to have the opportunity to participate in a large production of Class A.
soon.
Zhu Ke learned that the company successfully won "The God of Death".
""Deadly Behind the Dead", "Human Purge Plan", and now "Death is Coming", I am going to follow the path of Lionsgate Pictures and become a big horror filmmaker!"
“Huh?!”
"Unknown to me, I'm intercepting New Line Film!"
New Line Film has indeed been in the limelight in recent years.
"Blade Warrior" and "Rush Hour" have achieved good results in North America's box office of over 100 million this year. If "The God of Death" develops according to the original trajectory of time and space, it will also be included in the New Line Film industry. If the future "The Lord of the Rings" series and "The Hobbit" series are added, the performance of New Line Film industry is really amazing!
Of course, Xinyi Film is also called the "darkest" film company in Hollywood because of a series of problems with deducting directors and actors.
...........
Jin Shuguang Music Production Company, it is the second stop of Zhuke's inspection.
“Boss, welcome you.”
Domino, who had learned the news early in the morning, immediately gave Zhuke a big bear hug when he saw Zhuke arrive.
Well, in fact, Zhuke is a little resistant to this bear's hug.
After all, everyone in the entire group knows that Domino, the head of Jin Shuguang Music, is a sissy, and no, to be precise, he has publicly claimed that he is a "gay".
Eminem, Beyoncé, and other members of the True Destiny Girl Group also showed great enthusiasm after seeing Zucker.
They are singers who have become famous for the "Go Talent" platform, and they are very grateful to Zhuke.
Eminem has now become the pillar of Jin Shuguang Music. Its first record released last year has achieved sales of 35 million copies worldwide so far;
In June this year, his second solo album also achieved remarkable results.
In just over 4 months, it achieved sales of 18 million copies. Even if it cannot surpass the first album, it is really great;
He is the veritable number one music player in Jin Shuguang!
The "True Destiny Girl" group of women's idol group composed of Beyoncé and others has developed in more than a year.
Their first album was sold by 8 million copies.
With the power of the entire Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, their star journey has become open. The second album is also ready to go.
"Boss, I'll introduce you to a newcomer, a potential newcomer I've dug from other companies - Britney Spears." Domino introduced.
Zhuke nodded, met newcomers and encouraged them, Zhuke was very good at it.
Damn it!
Zhuke, who had not cared much, was shocked when he saw the young and beautiful Britney Spears standing in front of him.
"Damn, Domino is amazing!"
"Britney Spears, the famous Little Tiantian in the future, is the most famous female singer in pop music in the world."
"Her future name is even more famous than Taylor Swift!"
"The number one person in the world's record sales in the 21st century is enough to say everything!"
Zhu Ke was frightened.
"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Wald." Little Tiantian was very enthusiastic.
Chapter completed!
