More than a month later

    Well, to be exact, after 32 days, Zucker finally finished all the preparations for the film the day after tomorrow.

    This is also the result of Zhuke''s personal participation in the command!

    Otherwise, other people will come to make preparations for a film project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, let alone 32 days, even 100 days. After all, it takes a lot of time to find the right person just to set up the logistic support departments such as the director team, the film crew and the makeup team.

    Movies Titanic, avatar, Mars rescue, Avengers

    Which of the above films is less than a year''s preparation?

    New line pictures.

    "Oh?"

    After hearing the news, Xie Yi, the boss of new line film, couldn''t help sighing: "that guy, Jack Wald, is fast enough! It''s all done in 32 days, tut tut ~ "

    Vice President Jonathan nodded and said with a smile: "boss, after all, this is his personal participation. Does not the whole Wald film industry revolve around him? What''s more, he personally participated in the project. No matter the directors, actors or even the top behind the scenes producers in the industry, who would not give him face? "

    "Well, who dares to pull his hind legs?"

    Which one doesn''t give face;

    Who dares to pull back;

    In just two words, it is enough to prove the power of Zhuke in Hollywood now!

    "Hum!"

    Shea snorted coldly and said, "but this guy is too... Favoring one over the other. The film "the legend of Narnia" (also known as "the lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe") has a higher investment, with a total investment of more than 180 million US dollars. Most of the capital comes from Goldman Sachs, one of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, and the production work is jointly created by our new line film industry and Wald film industry. "

    "It can be said that it is a real commercial masterpiece!"

    "But what about the results?"

    "The legend of Narnia, which has been approved for a long time, is still in the preparatory period. If there is no accident, this preparatory period will be completed by the middle of this year; On the other hand, the "day after tomorrow" project, which has just been approved, is about to start shooting at the end of March

    The tone is rather reluctant.

    Of course, more is envy.

    "All right, let''s not talk about that."

    Xie Yiqiang held back his jealousy and said, "Jonathan, how much money has Goldman Sachs received?"

    "Eh?"

    Hearing this, Jonathan was stunned and immediately said, "30 million dollars! At present, the investment bank of Goldman Sachs has invested only US $30 million in the exclusive account of the insurance company "Narnia legend", and the follow-up shooting funds will be successively invested in the shooting cycle. "

    Bang~~~

    Shay couldn''t help clapping her hands and said angrily, "is that it? The five big investment banks on Wall Street are not happy at all! What? I''m afraid we''ll swallow his money! "

    Speaking of this, the tone can''t help but envy.

    Why?

    The day after tomorrow project, which was just completed by Wald pictures, has a total production cost of 125 million US dollars. It has been put into the exclusive account early without any drag and tear.

    "Boss, you have to understand that Mr. Zucker Wald is really good now."

    Vice President Jonathan made a warning.

    Suddenly, Shea''s pupils shrank.

    Even though Shay is still jealous of Zhuke, he has to admit that Hollywood''s position in the industry alone is far behind Zhuke.

    ......

    Universal Pictures.

    "That''s a good job of Jock Wald!"

    "In just 32 days, we have completed the preparatory work for a project with an investment of over 100 million yuan. Even if he participated in it himself, the speed was still amazing. Ha ha, he himself is probably very tired. "

    "You say that he is a super rich man with a fortune of more than 20 billion US dollars. It''s normal for him to go on holiday all over the world when he''s busy with all kinds of work, but what about him?"

    "As soon as he has leisure, he pours on the movie..."

    "This hobby really caught people off guard."

    A group of senior executives of Universal Pictures kept talking about it during the meeting.

    Of course~

    Meeting, the main thing is definitely not to talk about these things!

    These are just digressions.

    ——Scorpion King!

    Yes, it''s not many days before the movie King Scorpion, which is produced and released by universal pictures, is released.

    To be precise, there''s a week left.

    Take another look at the movies that will be released in North America in April:

    On April 10, the electric saw was released( Wald pictures)

    On April 17, scorpion king was released( Universal Pictures)

    On April 19, omen was released( Touchstone Pictures, Disney group)

    On April 24, the queen in Prada was released( Wald pictures)

    The schedule in April every year is undoubtedly an off-season schedule in Hollywood. It is the release date of the second, third and non key project films of various film companies, and it often receives less attention.

    But this year, absolutely not!

    Whether it''s Wald pictures, Universal Pictures, or even the Touchstone Pictures and Disney group that are actively involved, it''s all like a dog''s brain rhythm!

    In fact, the same is true.

    In recent years, several major film companies have invested heavily in publicity, and launched crazy publicity in TV, radio, Internet, including subway stations, major stores, and offline DVD sales channels.

    The exposure rate of several films continues to rise!

    Everything is for their own film company''s works, but also in order to beat competitors!

    "Everyone, be quiet."

    The president of Universal Pictures looked around and said: "today is the North American premiere day of Wald pictures'' electric saw. How many box office results it can achieve is directly related to the development of our company''s new work Scorpion King. We must be cautious! No matter how much attention we attach to it, we can''t overemphasize it. "

    Hearing the speech, everyone nodded.

    That''s right~

    Today is April 10, the day of the release of the electric saw.

    .......

    Touchstone Pictures.

    It is a second tier Hollywood film company with first-class production capability and distribution channels in North America. It is also a subsidiary of Disney, one of the six largest Hollywood companies.

    At the moment, CEO Olmedo looked at the report in his hand and said with a laugh, "I''d like to see what kind of box office results the movie" electric saw "can achieve at its premiere? It''s not that I look down on Wald pictures. If it comes out with Spider Man 2 and Harry Potter 2, I''ll give up my gun for the first time. "

    "But what is it about the electric saw?"

    The production cost of the film can be more than one million dollars;

    The director is James Wen, a new man;

    The actors in the play are almost unknown;

    That''s it?

    From the beginning, CEO Olmedo didn''t pay attention to the movie.

    what?

    You say it''s a Wald film, and it''s always a horror movie with low cost and high box office. Does Olmedo despise it too much?

    There is such a thing!

    Olmedo said bluntly: "I just can''t watch the electric saw. I dare to say so. What''s the matter?"

    "The first watch" is presented.
