Hollywood Starts with Animation

In order to build an overseas distribution network as soon as possible, Zucker personally met with the head of the American branch of the Carlos Foundation.

Well, that's Riol Slim, the eldest grandson of Mexico's richest man.

Riol Slim isn't too old at the moment, only 22 years old, but don't look down on him just because he's young. In the future, he will serve as the CEO of the Mexican Calso Group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. His skills, abilities and wisdom are all top talents.

Of course, we, classmate Zhu Ke, are not bad now.

Titles such as "genius director", "well-known screenwriter", "youngest billionaire", "super-rich with over one billion net worth" are all Zhu Ke's solid achievements.

Well, the main reason is to hang up!

Both of them are young people, even if they are shrewd, but they don't have as many twists and turns as the old guy.

Zucker cooperated with them in order to be able to expand the overseas distribution network;

And Riol Slim's investment in Wald Pictures' new film is also to enter the Hollywood market, and he is also optimistic about Zucker, who has worked hard to make a billionaire in just over two years;

"This time~, the spring breeze is proud to meet the bosom friend......"

Well, this BGM is not very appropriate, but both of them expressed great expectations for the next cooperation.

......

March 7, 1998.

The annual Academy Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

Well, a little later than usual.

This is the first time that Zucker has attended the Oscars.

In fact, as early as January 1997, Zucker was invited to participate in the Oscar ceremony in 1997, but at that time, Zucker did not go. Instead, they are busy preparing for "America's Got Talent" and planning to reorganize the company. Where can I spare time to join in the fun?

Besides, the films produced by Wall Films, except for the first film "Lola Run", can catch the eyes of the old stubborn.

And the follow-up movies, whether it is the "Deadly Bend" series or the "Human Clearance Project" series,

Films including "Hard Candy" and "Juno" are all genre films with a strong commercial flavor. How can I get into those old stubborn eyes?

Especially "Juno", a movie about underage women getting pregnant out of wedlock, there are many old stubborn people in the academy, who yelled at Zucker for being a shameless bastard in public.

Therefore, even though Zucker received an invitation last time, he did not go.

go for what?

Eye-catching?

Running with you is not a pleasant move!

hehe~!

Speaking of which, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain, and Charlize Theron have complained about Zucker more than once.

"You weren't invited, and the people we wanted to go weren't invited." These are the words of Jessica Chastain.

Charlize Theron is even more aggrieved.

"Zuck, you damn bastard, do you know how much I paid for that damn invitation to the Vanity Fair dinner after the Oscars? Damn it! $15,000 !"

The old stubborn people of the academy are actually very face-saving.

You accept the invitation and choose not to attend. On the surface, they won't say anything, but in private they will think that you haven't given them face.

The old guys who have long since quit the front-line film jobs, occupy more than half of the academy's population, and they can feel their presence when they point to Oscar. If you don't give them face, they will definitely hate you for a long time.

For example: Little plum!

Just because he was not young and energetic, he criticized the old stubborn people a few words, and threatened not to participate in the Oscars in the future, so he was hated by them.

In 2005, Xiao Lizi was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for the movie "The Aviator". However, because of his comments in the past few years, he offended a bunch of old guys, so he could only accompany the Oscar;

In 2007, he participated in "Blood Diamond" and was nominated for Best Actor again;

In 2014, he participated in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and was nominated for Best Actor again;

Run with you!

Still running!

It was not until 2017 that he finally won the title of Oscar winner with his subversive performance in the movie "The Revenant" and the death of many stubborn old men.

"The long road of life, I have been running with you!"

It's the little plum!

In short, as a member of the cast team, once you receive an invitation letter from Oscar, if there is no special reason, few people really dare to refuse them.

Unless you are willing to give up this award for the rest of your life!

But, as a member of Hollywood, who doesn't want that golden man?

hehe~

But Zucker is different!

"I am a member of the Hollywood Producers Alliance, the boss of a second-tier Hollywood film company, and a super-rich billionaire. Without our film company bosses supporting the Academy, the Oscars would be a piece of shit!"

That's right!

As a super-rich Zucker, it's no big deal even if he doesn't bird the old guys from the academy.

......

However, this time Zucker attended because his own film "The Sixth Sense" was nominated for 6 Oscars.

Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, a total of 6 nominations. The most important thing is the nomination for Best Original Screenplay, which is marked - Zucker Wald!

"My first nomination, can I not take a look at it?"

"Well, even if we don't win the award, we can still come here to play. For the first time, it's purely for seeing and seeing."

I have to say, Zhu Ke's mentality is excellent!

In addition, "Titanic", which Zucker participated in investment, set a record of 14 Oscar nominations this year, tying the record held by "Comet Beauty".

......

The organizer considered the reason why Zucker is the boss of Wald Pictures, and that "The Sixth Sense" won 6 nominations, so the arrangement was relatively high and conspicuous.

"Shamalan, calm down."

Zucker patted the director Shyamalan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Man, your second film has been nominated for 6 Oscars, which is quite remarkable, even if you don't get the last one, it's not a big deal. ."

Pooh~!

It's okay not to say, now that Zhu Ke said, Shyamalan suddenly felt heartbroken.

"Mr. Wald, is it really good for you to say that?"

Hearing this, Zu Ke was immediately taken aback.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while and I was bald." Zuke was thick-skinned.

The crew members Bruce Willis and others on the side showed embarrassed but polite smiles.

In fact, the competition for the Oscars this year is quite big!

On a global scale, "Titanic" achieved the box office record of film history;

"Six Heroes of the Light Pig" directed by the famous director Peter Catanho;

Good Will Hunting by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck;

There are also "L.A. Confidential", "Air Force One", "The Traitor", "Men in Black", etc., a large number of powerful films.

"I don't know if these old men will be stupid and give me the Best Original Screenplay Award?!"

Although Zu Ke doesn't care very much, if he can win the award, he will never refuse it.

" "The second is sent. It's on the shelves, the author is crying and begging for support!

Although it came on the shelves suddenly, and the author didn't have any preparations, but since it's already on the shelves, it's going to explode today. Continue to open the code, there should be a few more chapters tonight.
