Mid-September.

Paramount Film and Television Base.

"I announce that the filming of the Tomb Raider movie is completed! Today, close the mirror!" Zhuke announced loudly to everyone present on the set.

Suddenly, there was a burst of thunderous applause and shouts burst into the entire scene.

At this moment, whether it is director Simon West or the absolute heroine Angelina Jolie, the film, she is also very excited.

"Tomb Raider" has officially launched its project in October 1999;

In December 1999, Zhuke reached a cooperation with Paramount, served as producer, and began to fully prepare for the Tomb Raider;

In February 2000, directors and actors were selected to form various working groups of the crew;

In May 2000, filming of Tomb Raider officially started;

As of now, in mid-September 2000, after nearly a year of preparation and shooting, the video has finally been officially closed and all shooting sessions have been completed.

"The filming session is over, but the post-production special effects, soundtrack, dubbing, editing and other work still requires a certain amount of time and effort." Zhu Ke smiled.

Upon hearing this, the several responsible persons present nodded.

The second producer Tom Harris said: "At that time, Mr. Wald, you will need some more effort. With an excellent film producer like you, we will have confidence in our hearts. I firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Wald, our Tomb Raider will definitely achieve a very good box office. After all, Mr. Wald is a famous film genius!"

Listen ~

Tom Harris is so good at speaking that no wonder he can make a living in Hollywood.

This person is capable and speaks nicely. If he doesn’t succeed, who will succeed?

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Zhu Ke quickly waved his hand.

During the entire filming of Tomb Raider, Zhuke lived a very pleasant life. Whether it was the director, the second producer, or even the various actors, Zhuke was quite comfortable during the process of getting along. Well, even Zhuke often missed the crew's shooting.

"Juke, you have to have a few more drinks with me at a cocktail party later." Angelina Jolie smiled.

"Sure." Zhuke responded with a smile.

Director Simon West followed, "I want to have a few more drinks with Mr. Wald, after all, if it weren't for you, Mr. Wald, I wouldn't have been the director of Tomb Raider."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately smiled and said, "Humility, my friend. Your talent is beyond doubt. Even without the Tomb Raider movie, you will definitely be an excellent director. Well, if there are too many things, I won't say much. After "Tomb Raider" is completed, maybe we can cooperate again."

Cooperate again?

Director Simon West's eyes lit up immediately.

In his opinion, it is definitely a great thing to make friends with Zhu Ke!

Zhuke is one of Hollywood movie tycoons and the owner of Wald Pictures. It is very attractive to any director.

Da da da da da ~

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.

Zhuke's chief assistant Alexander came over: "Boss, Mr. Antioco from Blockbuster wants to see you?"

"Where is he coming?" Zucker raised his eyebrows.

Blockbuster, the largest offline DVD and video tape distributor in the United States and even the world, has more than 9,000 stores and more than 60,000 employees worldwide, with a market value of up to US$40 billion.

At the same time, Blockbuster and Paramount Pictures are both subsidiaries of Viacom Group.

"Boss, do you want me to refuse him for you?" said Alexander.

Upon hearing this, Zhuke shook his head: "Reasonably, if Blockbuster has any business cooperation, it should be Victor, or Old Bill, and Kevin Feige. He is not suitable for me. But, after all, we are on Paramount's territory. Forget it, let him come over."

"Yes, boss." Alexander responded and left immediately.

Directors Simon West, Julie and others left with great disdain when they saw that Juke had something to talk about.

In one sentence, be sensible!

Soon, Antioco from Blockbuster came to Juke.

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Wald!" The person who came was very enthusiastic.

Zhuke shook hands with him: "I know you, you are a talent."

Antioco, one of the executives of Blockbuster, is mainly responsible for the copyright negotiation business of DVD and videotapes.

As of now, within Blockbuster, there are many people who have higher status and power than Antioco, but in the future, Antioco is one of the absolute decision-making levels and a man who almost turns the tide.

In 2003, Netflix rose.

With its online DVD rental, Netflix has suppressed Blockbuster, with its business soaring, and has more than 4 million users.

Blockbuster is like the sunset, and it is almost out of reach!

At these critical moments, Antioco stood up. As soon as he took office, he started Blockbuster's online service, and in just one year, he pushed Netflix to breathe.

But!

In 2007, when Antioco was about to defeat the future streaming giant Netflix, what happened... Blockbuster lost its tricks, and the board of directors was unwilling to pay a prize of US$7.6 million, and was only willing to give 5.6 million. Therefore, he chose to fire Antioco, the biggest contributor!

Sigh ~

By 2020, Netflix has become one of the world's largest streaming giants with a market value of over US$240 billion.

What about the former giant Blockbuster?

It's gone!

It's completely gone!

No, to be precise, there is only one store left for tourists to take photos and recall the glory of Blockbuster.

"Mr. Wald, my purpose today is to negotiate the distribution and leasing business of your company's Spider-Man offline DVD and videotapes." Antioko said solemnly.

"Um!"

Zhuke nodded and said, "I will consider your suggestions."

To be honest, Zucker did not want to talk to Antiocodo, because he had negotiated the distribution and leasing business of "Spider-Man" offline DVD and videotapes so early, which would make Zucker less money.

As a time traveler, Zhu Ke knew the popularity of Spider-Man offline DVD market.

"Spider-Man" DVD, a week after it was launched, created sales of millions of copies, with sales of up to $110 million, breaking the sales record of offline DVDs in Hollywood movies.

At that time, Blockbuster, the contractor, made a lot of money!

However, Sony Columbia, the production company of the "Spider-Man" movie, made more money on DVD than Blockbuster, which is a joke.

Zhuke doesn't want to be a joke or a sucker.

In a word, it is OK to sell the copyright to Blockbuster, but it cannot be sold so early!

The next day.

Zhuke learned another news from his assistant Alexander.

The future streaming giant Netflix, its founder and Ceo Reed Hastings, is desperate to meet Juke.

The first update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
