Wald pictures.
"Mr. Fitch, I've sent the income report of tomb raider to your email. You can check it at any time." Said Diana, the secretary.
Smell speech, sitting at the back of the desk Kevin Fitch nodded.
"I'll see the report data later. After all, it's a film jointly produced and distributed by us and paramount. We enjoy 35% of the full copyright revenue. By the way, you tell the finance department to pay more attention to it, and don't be fooled by paramount. " Kevin Fitch warned.
"Yes, sir."
Secretary Diana is also a senior worker in Hollywood, but she knows that the major film companies in the accounting and financial aspects of a series of coquettish operations, a cold operation, can let your interests suffer.
impossible to guard against!
Diana, the Secretary, left quickly.
Then, Zach Schneider, director of the company's production department and well-known director, came in again.
"Zach, here you are. Is it about the shark Beach movie? " Kevin Fitch put down his work.
Zach waved his hand and said with a smile, "that's not true. The roadshow of the movie "shark Beach" is over, and the popularity of mainstream media has cooled down. The final box office success of the movie depends mainly on the public praise of the audience. "
"So you came here Asked Kevin Fitch.
Zach sat down, shrugged his shoulders and said, "since the release of shark beach, many representatives from Warner, Columbia, Disney and other film companies have come to me to make an appointment with me. But, to tell you the truth, those scripts are really ordinary. "
"So, I recently saved two scripts myself."
The voice fell.
Kevin Fitch took two plays and read them carefully.
Script 1: "I'm not Sparta.";
Script 2: the secret service team of beautiful girls;
.......
That afternoon, at.
At the moment, Zucker, who is in the editing room of Wald pictures, is also getting the screenplays of "I'm not Sparta" and "the secret service of beautiful girls".
After a while
"Diana, Kevin Fitch asked you to come and ask for my opinion, didn't he?" Juke frowned.
"Yes, boss."
Miss Diana, the Secretary, said: "the script of" secret service of pretty girls "comes from the cartoon of DC company of Warner company. If you want to shoot it, you must obtain the authorization from DC. However, as you know, the relationship between our company and Warner is very general. "
Is the relationship between Wald pictures and Warner just average?
NOï¼
There have been more than one conflict between the two in terms of schedule contention, and even fierce battle in terms of media opinion. The relationship between the two is not so good, even if it is not a life and death feud.
The movie "pretty girl secret service"?
"Is it the movie similar to Guoman's zhenhun street, which always calls out tall warriors who are more than ten meters tall?" Zhuke thought of something he had seen in his last life.
Not only that, in all kinds of short videos of UC and B stations, the movie clips of "secret service of beautiful girls" are often intercepted.
"Secret service" is undoubtedly a top special effects film, the picture is very beautiful, but... The box office is a blood loss!
"The real interpretation of a bad movie title destroys a movie."
In those years, there were a lot of good movies that were almost missed because of a "bad name".
"Three silly Bollywood", "my God", "three billboards", "kind gold", "Mao cheat" and so on, many audiences do not have much desire to watch the film once they see the title. In fact, these films and TV plays are really rare good works.
"The film" the secret service of beautiful girls "is absolutely an indelible stain in Zach Schneider's many films and TV works. However, there are problems with the plot of the film itself. " There's a lot of stuff filtering through juke's mind.
Meditate on
Zhuke looked at Diana, the Secretary in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "you tell Kevin whether my opinion will decide the project of" secret service of beautiful girls "and" I'm not Sparta "can be approved."
"Yes, boss."
Although Zhuke only gives opinions, it is full of weight and almost the result of one stroke.
The movie "I'm not Sparta" is the same theme movie of "Sparta 300", and its main plot is almost the same as that of "Sparta 300".
However!
"Spartan 300" is a history movie full of blood, killing and adrenaline;
"I'm not Sparta" is a complete comedy.
.......
Two days later.
There's a guest at Zucker's house.
It's Zach Schneider!
"Zach, do you have to make the movie" the secret service? " Juke frowned.
"Yes, sir."
Zach said solemnly, "Mr. Wald, I've known you for several years. You know, sometimes I'm a very stubborn person. I won't be easily convinced, including you."
Zucker sighed.
Sometimes, Zhuke really wants to scold these directors. They are so paranoid that they don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
In a word, Zucker is not optimistic about the box office prospects of "secret service of beautiful girls".
I know I will lose money. Why shoot?
Zucker pondered for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, "Zach, I'll veto your proposal again. I won't agree to the project of" secret service of beautiful girls ". To say the least, even if I agree to the project, do you think Warner's DC Comics will authorize Wald pictures? "
How can DC Comics easily license its comics copyright to other film companies?
Moreover, in terms of the squabble between Wald pictures and Warner, it is impossible to win the comic adaptation license!
"Zach, tell me the truth, did Warner come to you?" he asked
Huna is optimistic about Zach Schneider, not for a day or two.
The catcher, Superman: steel, Superman vs Batman: Dawn of justice and so on are all created by Zach Schneider and Warner.
Zucker guessed: there have been some eyebrows between them, especially after the explosion of the movie "shark Beach".
What should I do?
Of course, to help him!
If Zach Schneider wants to shoot "the secret service of pretty girls", he can only work with Warner.
"You don't have to worry. You are the director, not the slave of someone. You have your own choice. If you go to Warner and work with them on this film, I won't object. Of course, I have no reason to object. " Zhuke's smile is so sunny.
"This, this..."
At the moment, Zach was moved. I'm not only moved, but also ashamed.
Go ahead~
Let's go!
I know it's a pit. Why not pit Warner?
Zach Schneider has gone a little far in recent years, and Zucker also intends to teach him a lesson to let him know the good situation of Wald pictures.
It has to be said that Zhuke sometimes... Thieves are cunning and insidious.
Zucker himself has some problems with Warner. In addition, Zucker holds a large number of copyright of Marvel superheroes and shares in Marvel company. With Warner and DC Comics, Zucker will definitely be competitors in the future.
Keng Yibo Warner, Zucker said there was no pressure.
"The first watch" is presented.
