Los Angeles.

As soon as Zucker returned to the company, he asked Victor to arrange for someone to sign three directorial contracts with Christopher Nolan and highly recommended him to become the director of "The Deadly Bends 2".

Of course, Nolan is extremely grateful for this.

Think about his predecessors, when they first arrived in Hollywood, how many people were able to start as directors?

In addition to a few others, many well-known directors in Hollywood also started out from small roles in the crew, and they became mother-in-laws!

At the same time, Zucker did not let go of the movie "Following" that Nolan spent $6,000 on filming.

Spend 30,000 US dollars to purchase full copyright.

"Boss, from my professional perspective, the box office expectations of "Following" will not be very good." Victor expressed objection to Zucker's actions.

Won't the box office be too good?

Of course it won't be good!

In the original time and space history, the global box office of "Follow" is less than 300,000 US dollars.

Zhuke nodded: "Victor, the movie is not in a hurry to be released. You can arrange for someone to take it to the New York Film Festival and the San Francisco Film Festival to try it out. If the effect is not bad, just arrange it with our cooperative theaters to release it on a small scale. Then you can go offline DVD sales. In short, we should not expect this movie to make much money."

"Okay, I get it." Victor responded.

Zhuke won't ask much about the specific operations next. After all, Victor is professional in how to operate the movie.

For the movie "Following", Zhuke's purpose is very clear.

I don’t expect this film to make any money, mainly to win over Nolan. Of course, after the establishment of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, the company expanded the distribution network in several North American states. Zhu Ke wanted the company’s employees to try out the distribution methods more, and experience them again, and give a preview of the future operation and distribution of high-cost blockbusters.

the next day.

Zhuke got up early one morning and set out to the shooting site of "Human Purge Plan".

When the crew arrived, the crew had not started shooting yet. The producer of the film, Kevin Feige, was discussing today's shooting plan with director Zach. When he saw Zucker arrive, Gu stopped working and greeted him enthusiastically.

"How is it, haven't you bothered?"

"I brought you hamburgers."

Zhu Keyang took two big bags filled with hamburgers in his hand. Not only that, bodyguards Sun Lei and Zhao Wushuang also had large bags of small bags in his hand, containing a lot of hamburgers.

"What else can we say besides thanks?"

Director Zha said with a smile.

Kevin Feige, together with several deputy directors of the crew, expressed his gratitude.

"The boss came here in person, which is already the greatest kindness." Kevin Feige said.

Although Zhu Ke has deducted a little, he has not gone too far. He has never given any less money, nor has he delayed it. Well, similar to the small favors and favors he gave to burgers, Zhu Ke has done it with ease!

Montesquieu once said: "The small details are often crucial when getting along with people. Whether it is unintentional or deliberate."

Zhu Ke definitely agrees with this sentence.

In the following time, Zhuke, Director Zha and Feiqi exchanged some questions about the Human Purge Plan and asked if they needed help.

Feiqi said: "Boss, the director is professional in shooting and there is no big problem. The main crew's actors are relatively low in popularity. In terms of early publicity, it would be better if the group can provide some support."

"No problem, I will explain to Victor's arrangement."

Zhuke nodded: "And don't forget, I am the major shareholder of icq. I will contact icq company and arrange a pop-up advertisement for the "Human Cleanup Plan" at an extremely low internal price."

Icq?

As soon as he heard this, Kevin Feige was immediately overjoyed.

It was definitely beyond his expectations to allow IQ to arrange pop-up advertisements.

You should know that in today's era, if you don't know icq, you will be out!

I have to say that after the A round of financing, several new shareholders of icq were indeed very powerful. Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, News Group, Sequoia Capital and other large companies only used part of their power to promote icq, which allowed icq to complete a leap forward in just one month.

There are 8 million registered users in North America and 4 million overseas users.

This is the current data of icq.

With the understanding that the number of Internet users in the world is almost over 300 million, it is already amazing that ICQ can have 12 million users in a short period of time. No, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as amazing.

The Kevin Feige problem was solved, and it was not long before the shooting time was reached today.

Zhu Ke finally met the relevant actors of "The Human Purge Plan".

OK, no fucking Zhuke knew any of them.

Of course, this does not affect the shooting and box office performance of "Human Purge Plan". After all, the highlight of the film does not lie in the popularity of the actors, but mainly in the creativity of the film.

Otherwise, why do you think the 1/2/3/4 of the series are all different actors?

This film mainly tells the story of the fact that in 2022, due to the excessive population of the earth, the American government launched a plan to allow all crimes within 12 hours to reduce the number of human beings. The ugly human nature, false faces, and various violent catharsis are the highlights of this film.

Every box office performance of this series of movies is quite good.

The box office of the first movie was close to $100 million worldwide, while the following few movies have declined in reputation, but the box office has exceeded $100 million.

"The box office doesn't seem to be high, not as good as popular movies like Spider-Man, but it's cheap!"

The average production cost of each movie is up to 10 million US dollars

There is no doubt that Wald Pictures, which owns the "Human Purge" series, will be difficult for the next few years to not grow.

Zhu Ke is now the chairman of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, with a net worth of more than US$200 million. While his career is rising, his work is getting more and more busy. He can't do anything to continue to spend all day in the crew like before.

Therefore, not being a producer of the film will be the norm in the future!

Of course, Zhuke undoubtedly has to personally inquire about the producers of high-cost blockbusters such as Spider-Man and Harry Potter. After all, the interests involved are too huge.

"If I'm busy, maybe I can wait for my free time and I can live my addiction to being a director again."

For a moment, Zhu Ke couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly.

Although he is tiring and relatively not very profitable, Zhu Ke is still quite accomplished during the process of being a director.

"Even if I don't allow me to shoot feature films in terms of time, I can make short films!"

"For example, "The Blind Tuner" is absolutely OK!"

There is no doubt that "The Blind Tuner" is a fine product in short films. Not to mention the popularity of overseas countries, even in the Great Heaven, many netizens are amazed and sought after by it.

...

...

In the next few days, Zucker basically spent his time working at UPN TV.

The production of "America's Got Talent" has become the top priority of Zucker's work.

As for the little wizard who just obtained the copyright, Zhuke was not in a hurry to promote it, but just carried out a small promotion on Amazon Mall. Perhaps, after a while, he arranged for someone to contact book sales giants such as Penguin Bookstore and Random Bookstore to further promote it.

"Donna, you personally took charge of the production of the "Good Talent" project. I'll contact the judges, ok?" Zhuke said.

"No problem, boss!"

Donna answered very simply, but she knew that Zhuke attached great importance to this project. Well, or it was important to do his best!
Chapter completed!
