Chapter 503 The Second Largest Bankruptcy Case in American History
Los Angeles - Wald Theatre.
The Wald Grand Theater was founded in 1999 and started operation in January 2001 with a total investment of US$4 million. Its main business is to play movies.
So far, it is the only cinema under Zucker!
In accordance with the signing of relevant American departments and film and television associations, film production companies and theater companies implement a division system.
If you have a film company, you can't become a theater company;
Correspondingly, if you are a theater company, you cannot become a film company;
Film production companies and theater companies implement a division system, with the original intention of effectively curbing monopoly and promoting the prosperity of the film and television industry. After all, once a certain film company integrates production, distribution, and theaters, it will inevitably lead to monopoly, and it will be a monopoly of the entire industrial chain.
It has to be said that this kind of division system between theaters and producers is advanced and conducive to market development. However, as long as you want to take advantage of loopholes, there is always a way.
If Zucker owns the film company Wald Pictures, can't he really own a cinema?
Haha, of course not!
Giant companies such as Warner, Columbia, and Disney still own some cinemas under the industrial segmentation system.
In Los Angeles alone, Disney Group has 7 cinemas, with 90 cinemas in the United States; film giants such as Columbia, Warner, and Universal also have 30 to 80 cinemas across the United States.
Dozens of cinemas can't affect the overall situation at all.
Amc, Diwang Entertainment and Ximanke, which one has less than 2,000 cinemas?
The monk can touch it, I can't touch it?
As a production company, Zhu Ke owns a cinema, and no one can say anything?
After all, which one is not?
What's more, who is looking for trouble with the energy and influence that Zhuke now has?!
So, the Wald Grand Theater was born.
Today, the Wald Grand Theater will host the premiere of the movie "Shark Beach"!
.........
The premiere begins!
Invited guests, media reporters, and movie fans came in a crowd!
"Here's here! The crew of "Shake Beach" is here!" A sound broke out among the crowd in the media interview area.
The total production cost of the "Shark Beach" movie is only $12 million, and its actress Salma Hayek even earned $2 million in pay.
However, since the project was launched, this movie has attracted the attention of many peers!
"Who made the director of this movie Zach Schneider? Since the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" was released in 1999 and received a global box office of more than $600 million. Director Zach's new film has not met with movie fans and audiences. Now that his new film is here, it will certainly be the focus of everyone." said a veteran commentator.
Some people are born for big scenes!
That's it for Zach Schneider!
Zach has been working with Wald Pictures since 1996, and has filmed three movies: "Hard Fruit Candy", "Human Purge Plan" and "Spartan 300 Warriors".
5 years, 3 movies.
It doesn't sound like there are many directors who make one movie a year and several movies a year, but looking at the entire Hollywood range, his output is quite high.
"As for now, Zach Schneider, who is an advertising director and a song MV director, has already gained a foothold in Hollywood. Once this "Shark Beach" movie succeeds again, he will inevitably become the leading Hollywood director." said film critic Maggis.
"That's right!"
Film critic Baront nodded: "Even if he can't be among the top directors, Zach Schneider will definitely become famous. He is definitely the second-rate in terms of color adjustments in camera language."
Both the film critics and media reporters gave Zach a high evaluation.
As for the heroine Salma Hayek, "Shark Beach"?
Haha, she was a little forgotten today...
In 1999, the movie "Hurricane Men" starring Salma Hayek and Will Smith lost the box office.
Since then, Salma Hayek has been in Hollywood.
There is no way, Hollywood is always a place to pursue successful people.
If you succeed, please let the film company you make movies to exceed one row, and the producers will hold a check to ask you; but once you fail, even if you fail once, these film producers who have chased you in the past will stay away from you without hesitation.
This is reality!
That's right~ Salma Hayek, the wife of the future chairman of Genting Group, the luxury empire, is not popular in the media circle now.
"You guys wait for me!"
Salma Hayek looked at the invited guests around her, surrounded by many media reporters. She was a little envious and gritted her teeth: "I will succeed. After the movie "Shake Beach" was successful, you would beg me to interview me."
"Hello, Ms. Salma Hayek, I'm Vivian Rondor!"
At this moment, a voice came from the ears of the lonely Salma Hayek.
Vivian Rondor, female, senior Hollywood agent, is currently the director of Bluebird Brokerage Company, a subsidiary of Wald Pictures.
"Blue Bird agent? I know! A few days ago, when I met and chatted with Mr. Wald, he introduced him to me." The most beautiful smile instantly appeared on Salma Hayek's Cinema's somewhat chaotic face.
Change your face?
Haha, how could a woman who failed to become the wife of the chairman of the luxury giant Genting Group? Isn’t she a simple person?!
Vivian smiled and said, "Ms. Hayek, I am not only here alone in Blue Bird Agency. Our first batch of artists and students signed by us, totaling 10, and we also came here today. I wonder if we have the honor to take a photo with you?"
"certainly!"
Salma Hayek agreed immediately.
She looked at the young people such as Alan Page and Tom Hardy following Vivian and said, "Come here, kids."
The smile is sweet.
Actors such as Alan Page and Megan Fox are naturally very excited.
But... Tom Hardy was a little embarrassed.
"Children?"
"Please, I'm 24 years old this year."
Tom Hardy looked at himself and then at a group of 14-15-year-old teenage girls around him. He chose...... to give up struggling.
Older young people can’t afford to be injured!
.........
"Director Zach, did Mr. Juke Wald not attend the premiere of the film today?" a reporter asked the director.
Zach Schneider nodded and said, "Yes, the boss flew to New York early this morning."
Just finished speaking.
The media reporters on the scene couldn't help but show a look of surprise. As we all know, Zhuke is a crazy movie lover. As long as it is a movie produced by Wald Pictures and held a premiere, Zhuke will definitely not fall off every show. Even for movie premieres of other film companies, Zhuke often joins in the fun.
However, Zhuke did not show up today!
On the contrary, New York media reporters, especially journalists in the financial bonus industry who received the news, were extremely excited.
Zhuke did go to New York!
Moreover, Zhu Ke went here for Anron Group.
"The bankruptcy of Enron Group is the second largest bankruptcy case in American history! The company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars collapsed. The huge benefits involved are not unhappy!"
The first update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
