Chapter 643 Not a Fuel-Efficient Lamp
"Mr. Wald, it's an honor to see you again!"
Zach Bluff, the director of "Love Returns to New Jersey" and the leading actor, immediately expressed his gratitude as soon as he saw Zhuke.
"Zach, when you see you again, you are much more energetic than before, and it's good." Zucker nodded slightly.
As soon as these words came out, Zach Bluff became even more excited.
"Although I have expressed my gratitude to you more than once, at this moment, I still say thank you to you, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"
Zach Bluff bowed deeply to Zucker.
In early 2001, Zucker went to New York to inspect the development of Jin Shuguang Publishing Company. At that time, Zhucker, surrounded by a group of security personnel, had just walked out of the gate of Jin Shuguang Publishing Company, and a tall young man ran towards Zucker.
However, he was stopped by the security personnel beside Zhuke.
"Mr. Wald, my name is Zach Bluff. I am a screenwriter and director. This is my screenwriter's script. Please correct me and I am grateful. Please give me a chance~"
Although the young man was stopped by the security personnel, he still asked loudly.
In order to block Zhuke's opportunity, he waited for a long time...
In the end, Zhu Ke, who was good at supporting newcomers, gave him this opportunity.
To this day, nearly a year has passed...
Zucker patted Zach Bluff on the shoulder: "The opportunity is given to you, now is the time to test you. If the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" cannot satisfy me, cannot satisfy Kevin, Victor and others, then... well, you know, it's hard for you to get a second chance."
"Please rest assured, I will satisfy everyone!"
Bluff loudly assured that he was full of confidence.
......
"Hello, Mr. Wald!"
A soft voice came into Zhuke's ears.
She is precisely the heroine of the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" - Natalie Portman.
Zhuke shook hands with him: "I'm glad to know you, Miss Portman, I've watched the movie "This Killer Is Not Cold" and "Star Wars Prequel" series. I have to say that you left a deep impression on me."
Just finished speaking.
"Really?!"
At this moment, Natalie Portman looked at Zhuke with incredible eyes and said in surprise: "I can't believe it if you are a good person like you remember me. I feel very honored!"
"Of course it's true."
Zhuke said without hesitation.
Natalie Portman followed and said: "Compared with your achievements in wealth, I especially admire your achievements in film career. Whether it is your first film "Running Rolla" or later "Tunner" and "Breaking Drummer", I really like it."
"And, your screenwriter's "The Deadly Bend", "The Supernatural Sixth Sense", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Juno", "Fruit Hard Candy"..."
"I've seen all these without missing a single word."
"I think your talent in movies is extremely rare!"
Taboo!
See praising again!
Zhu Ke didn't know how many times he heard these words.
However, when a well-known and beautiful actress praises you in person, and can tell you as you know it, I believe no one will feel bored.
"Where is, it's too good." Zhuke quickly laughed.
But!
But Zhuke didn't think so in his heart.
"She really deserves to be a graduate of Harvard University, and she majors in psychology."
"Just just that she can tell the movies she directed, written, and participated in is enough to show that she has done a lot of preparations."
"The most important thing is...she speaks very well!"
Zhu Ke always kept his vigilance in his heart.
In Hollywood, some actresses, Zhuke can attract a large number of them with a wave of his hand, and these people are also very willing to climb Zhuke's soft collapse;
However, some actresses are very troublesome!
Once they get involved, they will stick to you like dog skin plaster. Even if Zucker, as a media tycoon, can suppress these negative news, Zucker doesn't want to be troubled by these troubles.
"No doubt, Natalie Portman is such an actress."
As a time traveler, Zhu Ke knows her nature very well.
In 2009, while starring in the movie "Black Swan", Natalie Portman intervened in the marriage of director Darren Alenovsky and became a third party.
Negative news is flying all over the world.
Director Darren Alenovsky also became famous for a moment.
"I don't want to be someone else's after dinner." Zhuke said in his heart.
......
Not long.
The movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" is officially broadcast.
Executives such as Zhuke, Victor, Kevin Feich began to concentrate.
The film tells the story of the protagonist Andrew (played by Zach Bluff) who worked alone in Los Angeles for 9 years. He volunteered to become an actor, but he is still unknown today and usually relies on working in a restaurant to make a living.
A phone call brought Andrew back to his long-lost hometown in New Jersey.
Over the years, he had few contacts with his family for some reasons and took antidepressants all year round, which made him indifferent to everything around him, even though his mother, who had been paralyzed for many years, died unexpectedly until he met the beautiful but somewhat nervous girl Samman (played by Natalie Portman), and his desperate life, which was like a stagnant water, changed.
This is a niche movie;
A literary and artistic film suitable for literary youth;
"Niubian themes are literary and youth films, and they are destined to be in terms of themes. They are difficult to achieve explosive box office results."
During the movie, CEO Victor whispered to Zucker.
Zhuke nodded: "The production cost is only $2.5 million. Do you expect it to be a special effects blockbuster?"
"It's right."
Kevin Feige, who was standing by, said: "It is undoubtedly difficult to achieve huge profits in low-cost movies at the box office. Of course, horror/thriller movies occasionally burst into amazing energy."
Obviously!
Neither Kevin Feige, Victor, or even every executive at Wald Pictures, thinks that the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" can achieve a big box office cash.
But...Zuke narrowed his eyes.
This movie can be said to be the beginning of the Hollywood literary youth film in the 21st century. It has the elements that similar movies should have in the future, the awkward interaction between men and women, the use of independent band songs as soundtracks, and a hint of sunshine flashes in the depression......
Later, many literary and niche movies such as "Heart Fallen", "La La Land", Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li
At the same time, its box office performance is also shocking!
With a production cost of only $2.5 million, the box office market in the United States alone achieved a box office performance of more than $35 million after it was released in 2004.
A rare low-cost high-box movie!
It can be said that the film has raised the ceiling of literary and youth films a lot!
The movie is over.
Zhuke waved his hand and said, "Kevin, arrange the movie to be released as soon as possible."
"No problem, boss."
Kevin Feige smiled and said: "In the first half of this year, the company has confirmed that there are only two movies to be released, namely "Love Returns to New Jersey" and "Saw" directed by Wen."
The words fell.
Zhu Ke was very satisfied.
The director Zach Bluff and actress Natalie Portman on the side were even more satisfied.
Of course, they hope that the movie will be released as soon as possible and hope to achieve a good box office result.
Everyone ended...
"Kevin, the promotional and promotional expenses of "Love Returns to New Jersey" can be increased to $4 million."
Zucker said.
"Well?"
Kevin Feige said in surprise: "Boss, are you optimistic about its box office performance?"
Zhuke blurted out: "Of course. I think it will have results that will make us shine."
The second update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
