Chapter 76 "Human Removal Project" Starts Filming
"Director Zha, this will be our second collaboration. I hope this collaboration will be as pleasant as last time."
In the conference room of Wald Pictures, Victor represented Wald Pictures and formally signed a director contract for the Human Purge Project with Zach Schneider.
The two shook hands.
Director Zha nodded and smiled, "Where is the second cooperation enough? You know, I am thinking about "Spartan 300 Warriors".
Upon hearing this, Victor immediately laughed.
“Yes, yes~!”
Compared with the $8 million cost budget of "Human Purge Plan", the production cost of "Spartan 300 Warriors" is too high, and the cost of nearly $60 million cannot be solved in a short while. In fact, Victor was also a little worried.
He knew what Zhuke promised Director Zha!
Within 10 months, 60 million of shooting funds were deposited into the transfer account for the shooting of "300"!
Zhuke's net worth is more than $200 million, which is true, but it is not easy to raise $60 million in 10 months.
"Is it possible to mortgage a part of the company's shares and borrow from the bank?" Victor couldn't help but think.
Regarding this question, Victor had also personally asked Zhuke, but Zhuke was excused.
In fact, he didn't know that Zucker had hired professional investment companies and began to deploy Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Singapore, intending to follow the trend to harvest the Asian financial crisis triggered by Soros.
By then, let alone $60 million!
Even if it doubles by $120 million, Zhuke is not unavailable to make it.
"Mr. Jones, then I hope to complete the preparations for the Human Purge Plan as soon as possible." Director Zha smiled.
Victor nodded and said, "Don't worry, I had someone finished the preparations for the crew a week ago, and I'm waiting for you, Zach, to get on the horse."
Bang~!
Zach Schneider couldn't help but applaud: "That's simply great! Uh? By the way, are the actors ready?"
"In terms of male and female protagonists, we have prepared several backup candidates. Of course, you need to make a decision in person. My boss, you know, has given you considerable respect."
Victor responded.
For a moment, Zach felt a warm current appear in his heart.
Although only selecting male and female protagonists from a few alternative candidates, generally speaking, not many novice directors can intervene.
Good man!
What a benefactor!
I have to say that if it is converted into the game panel, Zucker will definitely receive a prompt with a favorable impression value of 30 now.
"Uh, by the way."
Victor suddenly thought of something and quickly said: "Boss has been busy integrating the company recently and has no time to be the producer of "Human Purge Plan". Therefore, we chose another young man with great talent to be the producer of this film. I hope you don't mind."
New producer?
soon.
Under Victor's guidance, the producer of "Human Purge" officially debuted.
As a formal assistant to Victor, a young man who has just joined the company, Kevin Feige.
"Hello, Mr. Schneider, I'm Kevin Feich. You can call me Kevin. Please take care of me in the days to come."
Kevin Feige shook hands with Director Zha. Although he was young, his modest words and confident face also made people feel good.
Choosing Kevin Feige as the producer of "The Human Purge" was not only Victor was willing to try his skills, but also willing to cultivate him.
You should know that in Zhuke's plan, Kevin Feige was trained as the president of Wald Film. If he didn't make a few hot-selling movies, how could he be able to serve as the president? Even if Zhuke forced him to correct him, it would make other employees in the company complain.
...
...
at the same time.
But Zucker was not in Los Angeles, or even in the entire United States, but took a flight early in the morning and arrived in London, England again.
The person who came to pick him up was Cindy, an old acquaintance of ITV Broadcasting Corporation.
"Hi, Juke."
"Hi, Cindy."
The two greeted each other enthusiastically and left the airport.
This time I went to London, Zucker did not bring many entourage staff. Well, in strict terms, he only brought one bodyguard Zhao Wushuang.
"Cindy, I'm here this time to see the preparations for your "Britain's Got Talent". I believe you will definitely give me a great surprise." As soon as I entered the car, Zucker couldn't wait to speak.
Cindy sat in the driver's seat and couldn't help but laugh, "You're lying."
"Uh...man, you don't believe me?"
Zucker retorted loudly.
In fact, Zhuke came here this time to see the preparations for "Britain's Got Talent", but this is not the only purpose.
Cindy laughed and said, "But, don't say I don't believe it anymore. Look, even your bodyguard, Mr. Zhao, looked suspicious."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke hurriedly looked at Zhao Wushuang behind him. Sure enough, he lowered his head and laughed.
"Okay, okay."
Zhuke quickly waved his hand: "I'll also come here to see my girlfriend Lima this time. Hey hey hey, what kind of expression you are like, I've said it's the way. I'm going to check the preparations for "The Got Talent". After all, we'll have to do a big fight together by the end of May."
Cindy nodded.
Indeed, the project of "The Got Talent" is currently the most important task at Cindy.
Especially this time, "The Got Talent" was broadcast jointly by Britain and the United States. At the same time, after the two countries decided their respective first, second and third place respectively, there will be a special performance for global audiences.
He had no choice but to ignore it.
"Zhuke, I'll take you to the hotel first. For the specific inspection, we will start at 8 a.m. tomorrow, how about it?" Cindy said.
"Ok! You are the host, of course we will listen to you." Zhuke responded with a smile.
soon.
The group drove to a five-star hotel not far from ITV Broadcasting Corporation.
At the same time, after having a hearty lunch at the hotel, Cindy left because she had a job to be busy.
"Boss, where are we going next? Are you going to see Miss Lima now?" Zhao Wushuang asked.
"No!"
Zhuke shook his head: "She has been busy preparing for the catwalk the day after tomorrow, and it is closed. It's not easy for us to go in. It's better to go there in a few days. Well, we're going to London College now."
London College?
Zhao Wushuang shook his head in confusion.
He knew that his boss hated reading.
Although Zhuke spends 2 hours a day to read, he always scolds the author of the book afterwards, and dislikes others for writing too profoundly.
.........
College London.
In a dormitory.
"Mr. Christopher Nolan, you have been graduating from the college for 7 months, but as far as I know, you are still stuck in the dormitory after graduation."
"You know what the college stipulates."
"I'm here this time to inform you on behalf of the college, so that you must move out of the dormitory today."
A fat aunt in professional attire kept talking to a young man, her tone was very unkind.
"I apologize~!"
Christopher Nolan was helpless.
Why did he stay in the dormitory for 7 months after graduation? Isn’t he too no money?
In 1996, he prepared $6,000 to shoot his first solo film "Following", and he was worried about it. At the same time, after the film was completed, he continued to take various means of transportation to travel all over Europe, and promoted the movie "Following" to major film festivals.
The travel expenses are not expensive!
Obviously, Nolan has no money.
The money in his pocket now does not exceed 50 pounds. Once he leaves the dormitory, he will probably have to sleep on the street.
Chapter completed!
