The craziness of Zucker not only attracted Paramount's attention, but also came to light in the American media.
[the number of films in Wald pictures' film library ranks first in the United States. Who let Zhuke collect too many rights of junk films?
However
Some unconventional old American audience, but it is high explosion.
"I think it's cool ~"
"It's the first time that I know that there are so many junk movies in Hollywood besides those blockbusters. I want to see how junk and ugly these movies are," said a black high school student with a small pigtail in a street interview with a TV station
...
Texas.
"I don't think that's a problem."
A young woman with a stroller in her left hand and a 7-year-old boy in her right hand was interviewed by a TV station when she was just out of the supermarket.
"My name is Jeanne, occupation is housewife, I have two children, the oldest son is 7 years old, the youngest son is 2 years old, they usually like to see" SpongeBob SquarePants "and" piggy page ".
"For this reason, I have been subscribing to UPN for several months in a row."
"Now that Wald pictures has collected more than 1400 film copyrights, there must be quite a large part of the resources of UPN television network, and I can see so many films I haven't seen. What's the puzzle?"
"I think it's good!"
...
Florida.
A middle-aged lawyer, in the face of the interview, also gave Zhuke a high positive evaluation.
"You say that the copyright of these junk movies is meaningless?"
"No!"
"I think the opposite!"
"As we all know, Hollywood has developed rapidly in recent years. However, many small and medium-sized film companies are subject to various reasons, and their development is more and more difficult, and their living space is constantly squeezed. In this situation, many film copyrights of those film companies will undoubtedly be buried with the passage of time. For us, It is undoubtedly a great loss. "
"Human film art should not suffer from such a situation."
"Even those junk movies, we can't deny them all. They are a part of our time."
A lawyer is a lawyer, and his point of view is quite different from that of ordinary people.
Part of the time?
Reporters and photographers can't help twitching.
.......
Sony Group.
Sony, the electronics giant, saw reports from many media not long ago.
A senior executive's words were filled with disdain: "the lucky one is the lucky one after all. Is he picking up the leak when he collects the junk film copyright? I don't know. "
A colleague's assistant immediately echoed: "yes. In the competition for the DVD player market, even if we need the support of the film library of any film company, we are not willing to give us the copyright of those junk films. "
Everyone around nodded.
"What we want is the copyright support of excellent films!"
"Yes, junk movies are useless. They should be swept into the garbage."
"It's a stupid trick, Jack Wald!"
"It's just the same with Jack Wald, who is known as" Hollywood fox. "
"It is said that he has prepared $100 million and is still collecting film and television copyrights."
Sony is so happy and crazy.
However... They did not foresee that the DVD format fight in the future will be so fierce and fierce.
Is the copyright of a junk movie worthless?
Bullshit!
In the future, when the fight for DVD format is in full swing, the price of those movie copyrights that they once couldn't watch will soar one after another!
Now you can get a junk movie copyright for 500 dollars. In a few years, if you bid 5000 dollars, you may not be able to buy it;
A few years later, when you bid less than 100000, they won't talk to you;
Garbage belongs to garbage, but if you stand on the wind of the times, even a pig can fly into the sky.
Zucker spent more than 60 million dollars on the copyright of 1400 films, but no one can imagine that in a few years' time, the value of these junk film copyrights in the eyes of the public soared to hundreds of millions of dollars, several times more.
Sony entertainment and Toshiba group have also paid a very painful price for this in the future.
.......
At the end of January.
On this day, instead of sitting at home, Zucker took a flight to Utah, a small town called park.
The 15th Sundance Film Festival will be held in Park Town!
It's not just Zucker who came here alone, but also chief assistant Alexander, including Marko, a Norwegian from the Distribution Department of Wald pictures;
Well, there is also a huge security team composed of 12 security personnel of Zhuke.
After getting off the plane, when Zhuke and his party appeared at the airport, they were immediately watched by countless people.
"Whoa, boy, who is this? How could it be so ostentatious? "
A middle-aged man who went to work in Park town was surprised.
Not only is he curious, but many people around him are also curious.
"Who is the young man walking among them?"
"Which rich second generation or the son of an international politician?"
"Look, their motorcade is coming!"
"I'll go!"
"Their motorcade is actually checked in by plane. How much does it cost?"
Twelve armed security personnel, all black suits and sunglasses, not to mention walking in Park Town, even if you look at Los Angeles and New York area, it is also extremely eye-catching.
It's very showy!
"Hey, guys, you don't even know him?"
A young man sneered: "guys, he is the owner of the famous Wald film industry in the United States, the owner of the Golden Dawn entertainment group, and the super rich man with more than 3 billion dollars - chuck Wald!"
This remark shocked the audience.
Today, the name of Zucker Wald is not a household name, but it is definitely not a general one.
"If I'm not careful, I'm pretending to be a bully!" The corners of juke's mouth rose.
"The first watch" is sent, asking for tickets, rewards and support!
