"Good young man, thank you for working at WB TV. I believe that WB TV will not let you down." Zhu Ke said in an old-fashioned autumn.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Ray Warner is now excited.

Zhuke asked: "I just heard you say that he is a screenwriter student at Melbourne Film and Television School. How can you choose to take the host path? Walder Film's screenwriter department, don't you think about it?"

Ray Warner shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, I'm not very interested in the work of screenwriter."

Screenwriter? Not interested?

Damn it!

At this moment, Zhu Ke just wanted to scold his mother.

If you are not interested, you can actually write a horror movie like "Saw" that can be recorded in film history?

In addition, there are "Dead Silence", "Luxing", "Invisible Man", "Mule", "Upgrade"...

In the future, aren’t these movie scripts written by you?

If you are interested, you can't go to heaven!

"Okay, I respect your opinion."

Zhu Ke smiled and said with a smile: "But one day you suddenly become interested in the screenwriter industry and write a script, you can contact me at any time."

As he said, Juke handed Ray Warner a business card.

Man, that's the "Saw" movie!

As of 2020, the series has produced 8 movies, and has achieved quite good box office results, with a single film of nearly 100 million US dollars, and there are 8 movies. Do you think that people like Zhu Ke will miss this little gold mountain?

Of course you can't miss it, and you must hold it firmly!

After a few more talks, Sack and Warner left. After all, Zhuke and Old Bill had something to talk about.

"The Ninth District";

"The Queen Wearing Prada";

These two films are the focus of Wald Pictures' project in the near future.

"Bill, I watched the production department's capital coordination for the "Ninth District" project, and the production cost was $60 million." Zhuke said.

"Do you have questions about this?"

Old Bill looked at Zucker in confusion: "Boss, for a science fiction film like "The Ninth District", the production cost of $60 million is enough, and there is no need to increase the production cost."

To be honest, for a science fiction film, of course, the higher the cost, the better. In this way, the special effects of the film can be very outstanding.

"hehe!"

Zhuke suddenly smiled and said, "On the contrary, I think the production cost of $60 million is high. Well, what do you think $30 million?"

Puff ~

Old Bill, who was drinking water, suddenly choked at this moment, and a large area of ​​wet on the ground, thanks to Zhu Ke being far away enough.

"Zuke, what are you kidding?!"

Old Bill, whose face was flushed, suddenly said angrily: "What is the 30 million US dollar science fiction movie? Isn't this waiting to be slapped in the face by others?"

Old Bill was indeed a little angry.

Science fiction movies are just special effects!

He knew that Zhuke was a very stingy person, but he never expected that Zhuke was so stingy. The "Spider-Man" movie is also a science fiction movie, but its production cost is as high as 150 million US dollars, which is a Hollywood A-level first-line commercial production.

"Zhuke, you have made billions of dollars in the Nasdaq stock market. Why do you still look so stingy when you make a movie project? Well, in this way, if you really think the production cost of "The Ninth District" is high, let's reduce it a little. 50 million US dollars is the minimum." Old Bill argued.

“Hahaha~”

Zucker looked at the old Bill at this moment and couldn't help but think he was very cute.

The angry old Bill is indeed very responsible.

Zhu Ke was very pleased with this.

"Old guy, do you still remember "The Witch Blair" in 1999?" Zucker asked solemnly.

Old Bill frowned immediately.

Zhuke immediately said: "The reason why "Blair Witch" has such a high box office result is closely related to the fraudulent and viral publicity we use, but... the pseudo-documentary technique it pioneered is very worth learning from."

A pseudo-documentary?

For a moment, Old Bill did not immediately refute, but fell into thinking.

In the original time and space history, the movie "The Ninth District" is definitely a very well-known movie.

Audiences and media from all walks of life have a high opinion of it.

"A movie with advanced thoughts, a fable about life." The New York Times.

"Facts have proved that science fiction movies do not have to be full of stars, do not have to be too much budget, do not have to be visually attractive, and do not have to be thorough entertainment." USA Today.

"The Ninth District, which costs $30 million, is no less than a science fiction film with a production cost of over 100 million!" "The Chicago Tribune".

"A real, authentic science fiction movie that attracts you from the beginning and makes the audience unable to stop until the end of the film." Hollywood Reporter.

Through the technique of a pseudo-documentary, the film restores the suffering of aliens on the earth and breaks the audience's inherent idea of ​​"apart from aliens invading the earth".

Aliens descended on Earth and were enslaved!

The film's idea is different. It attracted a large number of viewers as soon as it was released. The box office results in North America alone were as high as 120 million US dollars, which is enough to prove its excellence.

"Old Bill, think about it. A science fiction movie costs only $30 million, but its excitement is no less than a movie with a production cost of $100 million. Isn't this a huge gimmick in itself?" Zhuke smiled.

Upon hearing this, Old Bill nodded heavily.

He was convinced.

Similarly, with the popularity of "Blair the Witch", the pseudo-documentary technique it uses has been criticized by movie fans.

"But if we use pseudo-documentary techniques well, it will definitely be a booster for the film to achieve high box office," Zhuke continued to explain.

Old Bill's eyes lit up immediately.

In the end, he agreed with Zhuke's proposal very much.

"The Ninth District" will use pseudo-documentary techniques to shoot;

The production cost of the video will be adjusted from the $60 million set at the beginning to $30 million.

A science fiction movie with novel angles and high-quality ideas is completely unfair for Christopher Nolan. Zhuke is confident in him and believes that what he does can be better than the original director.

The name of Nolan is not a false reputation, especially science fiction movies.

"The Queen of Prada" is a workplace, inspirational, comedy movie. Juke is also very confident in Todd Phillips as director.

Although the movie "Hangover" he filmed is a comedy with shit, pee, and farts, his ability to control comedy is definitely not bad, and he is very clear about the excitement of American audiences.
