Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Hollywood started with animation ()"

"The Departed" movie, a project led by Zhu Ke himself?

These words flowed from Alexander's mouth, even though he has deliberately lowered his voice, but don't forget that he is the second head of the production department of Wald Films, and the former chief assistant of Zhu Ke...

He is like a big light bulb in the dark, with that bright light, it is difficult for people to ignore him!

Moreover, next to Alexander is Matt Damon, who is one of the protagonists of today's celebration banquet.

Combining various factors, the news of "The Departed Walker" was quickly exposed to the ears of many people, especially those in the same industry, and suddenly felt liver pain!

"real or fake?"

"In the second half of this year, Wald Films has too many movies waiting to be released, such as "Raging Heart", "Death Comes 2", "Fast and Furious", "The Day After Tomorrow" and so on; in January next year, they will And "Harry Potter 2", followed by "Spider-Man 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and other movies; now, they are going to start a new film, my God, they are so inhumane!"

"Too rich!"

"Who said it wasn't? We are a small film company that shoots at most 3-5 films a year. This is already the limit, otherwise the funds will not be returned quickly. Tsk tsk tsk~ On the other hand, Wald Films, just this year In one year, there are as many as 15 films produced by Wald Films itself!"

"Oh my God! This production volume is no less than that of any of the Big Six in Hollywood!"

Gusta of Lionsgate;

Patrick of Summit Entertainment;

Morris of Dimension Films;

Barry Meyer, Warner Bros. Pictures;

Wait, all the bigwigs of the Hollywood film company, one counts as one, all feel a little sour at the moment.

Gusta looked at Barry Meyer beside him, and suddenly said: "Barry, we will be sour when we are sour. You are the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, and you are a big company. What are you worried about?!"

"Hey~"

Hearing this, Barry Meyer first glanced at Gusta angrily, then sighed: "It's not like you don't know Warner's current situation."

"...."

Gusta was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "You're right, AOL-Time Warner is the largest media giant in the world today, but as AOL goes down, it has seriously affected Warner Bros. industry, the most important thing is that you have many hills and factions inside, and the internal strife is too serious."

Barry Mayer nodded emphatically.

Although the merger of Time Warner and America Online has brought it to a peak, and an unprecedented media monster has appeared, the development after the merger has been greatly unsatisfactory!

Recently, former Time Warner boss Steve Ross has officially retired and returned to the company.

He declared: "What is entertainment belongs to entertainment, and what is on the Internet belongs to the Internet."

The implication is that he wants to separate Time Warner from AOL-Time Warner again!

"So, are you Warner planning to start a new big movie project?" Gusta was very curious.

Barry Meyer glanced at Gusta, shook his head and said, "You're wrong, not at all."

"Uh, is it?"

Gusta's expression was full of banter.

No?

Go fooling around!

Of course, from beginning to end, Gusta did not expect Barry Meyer to tell him the truth. As the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, Barry Meyer cannot disclose the company's secrets to outsiders.

In fact, Warner really has big plans!

1. To snatch the film copyright of the "Harry Potter" series from Wald Films;

2. Restart the "Batman" project;

Of course, these two plans are currently only on paper and have not been put into action.

It is extremely difficult for them to snatch the film copyright of "Harry Potter\

,"After all, Zhu Ke is not easy to mess with; secondly, it is not so easy to restart the "Batman" project. Before the serious internal strife problem can not be effectively resolved, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to shoot a new film, even if Warner is very rich.

"The news should be true!"

"The "Departed Walker" project is definitely a very important film project for Wald Pictures from the second half of this year to the first half of next year."

"But...it's just a remake, and it's still from an unreleased movie from Datianchao Hong Kong, can it work?"

"Hey, you guys are still worried about this? Oh my god, whether Wald Films chooses us or not is a question. We are not popular stars."

"that's right!"

"It is said that Mr. Zhu Ke Wald personally finalized this project!"

"My God! Is this true? If it is true, then we have to argue about everything, even if a supporting role is good."

The news of the upcoming project of "The Departed Walker" made other film companies in the industry feel sad, but for the Hollywood actors, it was too late for them to be happy!

For a time, the news was flying all over the sky.

Many entertainment agencies in Hollywood, such as CAA, William Morris Company, Creative Agency, etc., immediately began to focus on inquiring about news and recommending artists from their own companies.

 …

the next day.

Not long after Alexander entered the company and started working, he received a phone call.

Caller - Joaquin Phoenix.

"Alexander, the company is about to launch a new movie, and it's a remake of "The Departed", is this true?" Joaquin's anxious voice came from the phone.

"it is true."

Alexander smiled and said: "If it is false, I will not tell Matt Damon, and to tell you the truth, the script of "The Departed" has been finalized after dozens of revisions in two months. .If there are no accidents, "The Departed Walker" will be officially approved in just two days."

The voice fell.

Jacques on the other end of the phone was of course overjoyed.

However!

What he didn't know was that Zhu Ke had appointed the two leading actors of "The Departed", namely Xiao Li and Matt Damon.

The phone hangs up...

boom boom boom~

There was a knock on the door, and a person walked in. It was Gavin O'Connor, the head of the production department of the company.

"Has the news spread out?" Gavin O'Connor laughed.

"certainly."

Alexander proudly said: "I followed the instructions of you and Mr. Fitch, and spread the news of "The Departed Walker" first. No~ I just received a call from Jacques himself."

Gavin O'Connor immediately smiled and said, "You've done your calculations. This morning, CAA, William Morris, Creative Brokers, and other ace brokers from brokerage companies all called me to recommend their own artists."

"The Departed Walker" is a film project that Wald Films attaches great importance to!

In other words, Zhu Ke himself also attaches great importance to it!

Since the establishment of Wald Films, most of the films produced and distributed are thrillers, horror films, and commercial films. There is an extreme lack of award-winning films. The only film that can win Oscars is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" "This movie, even if other projects won awards, they are still small awards.

"The boss personally issued an order. The box office of "The Departed" is the second priority. The most important thing is to let Wald Films add a few more statuettes to the honor showroom!" Gavin O'Connor nodded emphatically.

Alexander thought so.

Oscar awards can bring economic benefits. Although it is not very great for Wald Films, it can greatly enhance the company's brand influence, especially for a film company like Wald Films that has been established for less than ten years!

The second update of "" is here.
