Wald Pictures.

Bill McNick, Kevin Feige, and Zach Schneider, the three of them sat in the conference room for a meeting.

That's right, there's one more Zach Schneider.

Zach is a director and has filmed many films for Wald Pictures. In the eyes of the outside world, he has long been labeled as Wald Pictures. Not long ago, he accepted the invitation from Zucker and Old Bill, officially served as the production director of Wald Pictures' production department, and has truly become one of the executives of Wald Pictures.

"I heard that Mr. Wald had returned to Los Angeles yesterday?" Zach asked.

Old Bill nodded and said, "Yes, Alexander went to the airport to pick him up. It is said that Mr. Wald's team has added several think tanks, but I don't know who it is."

As a company executive, being able to understand the dynamics of your boss in a timely manner is a compulsory course for North American professional managers.

Well, it's also the way to survive.

Kevin Feige echoed: "Mr. Wald's think tank member, I know one - Bachel Liszt. He was previously the vice president of Aviva (Company Federation Insurance) in the UK. I have had contact with him in the promotion of the UK on the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone project. He is a very powerful guy, and information collection is his specialty."

Old Bill and Zach nodded.

"Zach, you are the director of the production department now and are still in charge of the filming of the movie "Shaw Beach". I wonder what the situation is currently going on?" asked Old Bill.

Zach responded: "Mr. McNick, the movie "Shaw Beach" was closed yesterday, and it is expected that it will be completed before the end of June."

Speaking of the "Shark Beach" movie, Zach Schneider couldn't help but feel a little excited because it was his first film to get dividends from his personal director.

In the following time, Vice President Kevin Feige also told the two about their recent work.

The first thing to be confirmed is the movie "Butterfly Effect", which will be released across the United States on April 19.

"The Butterfly Effect, directors Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan, have to increase their efforts in publicity. We must pay attention to the creation of this project of celebrity directors." Old Bill said in a deep voice.

Star director?

Since ancient times, the most popular group of Hollywood has always been the actors standing in front of the stage. When it comes to popularity among the general public, as the core director of a movie, he can only stand back.

Old Bill smiled and said, "Although the current Internet bubble has greatly damaged the market environment, we can still see that the future belongs to the Internet. With the spread of the Internet, the director will definitely not be inferior to the star actors in the future in terms of personal popularity. Therefore, we must create a group of star directors in advance."

The plan for the celebrity director is the plan mentioned by Old Bill at the meeting not long ago.

Famous actors have great appeal for a movie and can improve their box office results, but... can't the director do it?

No!

The director also has great appeal!

Spielberg, James Cameron and other major directors, whose names can attract a large number of moviegoers to buy tickets.

However, the fact is that in the early 2000s, there were really few directors who could have strong market appeal.

"Since we don't have a star director, then we will build a star director and a director with market appeal~"

I have to say that Comrade Bill is still quite courageous!

Todd Phillips, his future "Hangover" movie series, "The Joker 2019", is a rare and good movie;

Christopher Nolan doesn’t have to be much. The “Batman Dark Knight” trilogy directed by him has been talked about by countless movie fans.

At present, the two of them, plus one Zach Schneider, have a total of three, which are the directors who are highly praised by Wald Pictures and even the entire Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, and are also the facade character launched by the "star director" project.

"The Ninth District";

"The Queen Wearing Prada";

These two movies have also been very good movies since Hollywood entered the 21st century, and have achieved quite good box office.

But......

Now these two movies have been "plagiarized" by Zhuke again and entered the Walder Pictures' script library.

Kevin Feige said: "My plan is to have Christopher Nolan as the director of "The Ninth District" and Todd Phillips as the director of "The Queen of Prada". As long as these two films are successful again, coupled with the promotion of our entire group, it is obvious that the director's plan will be successful!"

Some people may ask, after they become celebrity directors, will they shoot movies for other film and television companies?

The answer is yes!

Looking at the entire Hollywood, only a few directors are tied to a film and television company. Most directors are liquid and will shoot movies for many film companies in their lives.

Zhuke's company has turned the directors into star directors. They turned around and went to shoot movies for other companies. Did Zhuke suffer?

It was a loss, but from a long-term perspective, it was not a loss!

Once Wald Pictures completes its "star director" plan, it will definitely be of great appeal to directors who have not yet become famous and can further enhance Wald Pictures' influence.

This alone is that it is hard to exchange for a thousand gold!

Furthermore, making friends with a celebrity director is an intangible asset of the film and television company.

You went to another company to shoot movies, but this does not mean that you can shoot movies for Wald Pictures again in the future.

Human relationships are not only unique to the Great Heavenly Kingdom, but also exist around the world!

At the end of the meeting, Old Bill revealed a news.

"Two, I'm very grateful for the time I worked with you." Old Bill smiled.

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin and Zach were stunned.

"Mr. McNick, you mean...you're going to retire?!" Kevin Feige said in shock.

"No way?" Zach said in shock.

"hehe!"

Old Bill smiled and said, "Two, I am 69 years old this year, and it's time to enjoy my old age."

In fact, Comrade Bill is also a stubborn master, but his body really can't stand it anymore.

During the filming of the movie "Spider-Man", Bill was responsible for the position of producer and was hospitalized three times. He was willing but unable to do so!

Old Bill spread his hands and said again: "There is no regrets. A few years ago when I was swept out by 20th Century Fox, I thought my film life was over. But... when I was at the lowest point, it was Zhuke, who I once hated very much, who gave me an olive branch. In the past few years, I have been very satisfied."

Throughout the narrative, Old Bill's face was full of kindness and satisfaction.

Especially when facing Zhuke, his mood was extremely complicated. After all, he once hated Zhuke very much, and that was entirely because of the movie "Titanic".

But now, this old man who has been living in Hollywood for the rest of his life, as he said, can shine again when he is nearly 70 years old, and he has no regrets in his life.
Chapter completed!
