Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Hi, Zucker!"

Zucker walked across the red carpet and across the interview area. As soon as he arrived at the venue and sat down, there was someone who greeted Zucker.

called - Zucker;

Instead of the honorable title in the public - Mr. Wald;

The person here obviously has this qualification!

His name is Summer Redstone, a well-known billionaire, the owner of Viacom Group, one of the world's largest media groups, the owner of Paramount Pictures, one of Hollywood's six largest, and the world's largest offline DVD and video tapes Chairman of Blockbuster Group, a distributor and leasing provider.

Zucker turned to look.

The first thing that catches the eye is not the emaciated little old man Redstone, but the main creator of the movie "100% Man", director Nancy Meyers, starring Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt and others.

Later, Zhu Ke saw the smiling little old man Lei Shidong.

"Mr. Wald, this way, please take a seat!" Bruce Davey, a senior producer at Paramount, stood up very discerningly to make way for Zucker.

"thanks."

Zhu Ke thanked him, and he was not polite at the moment, and sat down straight.

The two bosses want to talk?

The people around them retreated subconsciously.

Even the popular actor Mel Gibson, who has always been very arrogant and privately abused Wald Pictures, is smiling at this moment, daring not to overstep the slightest.

In a word, Zucker is the person that Mel Gibson can't afford to offend!

To be precise, looking at today's Hollywood, there are really few people who can wrestle with Zucker.

Even the great director Steven Soderbergh, who just uttered wild words, is just a mouth addict.

Without Universal Pictures to support him, he would not dare to stab with Zhu Ke with three courage!

In America, whoever has more capital has more right to speak. This is the truth!

"I said Redstone,

You even came to the Oscars, as far as I know, the last time you came to the Oscars was at least 5 years ago. "Zuke said calmly after sitting down.

"you're right."

Redstone smiled and said, "I rarely come here. The last time I came was at the Oscars in 1995. Think about it, it's been a few years."

Hearing this, Zu Ke said with a smile: "The Oscars this year are really honorable. After all, they invite you every year, but you refuse again and again."

Isn't it?

It is well known that the bosses of the six major Hollywood companies rarely attend the Oscars.

For example, since Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, as the old ghost of Sony's boss, he has only attended the Oscar once.

Universal, Disney, Warner and other giant companies, their company bosses rarely visit the Oscars in person.

In a word, Oscar is dispensable to them.

The college officials did not dare to offend these capital bosses.

"Zuke, I'm here this time, but it's for you. Don't forget, you're the first producer of "Tomb Raider"."

Redstone looked at Zucker rather resentfully and said, "I know from Shirley Lansing that you haven't been to Paramount Pictures since the filming of all the movies in January this year. Now a major A pile of post-editing materials, but it's all waiting for you to make a final decision. Man, can you have more snacks?"

Hearing this, Zu Ke waved his hand and said, "Reproach me, blame me!"

Producer Bruce Davey: "......"

David's eyes kept glancing at Zucker and Redstone.

"This is Mr. Wald. If it was someone else, huh, what would it be like to be scolded?!" David secretly thought.

As a member of Paramount Pictures, he knows how hot his boss Redstone has always been.

Even Shirley Lansing, the CEO of Paramount Pictures, the top 3 figure on the Hollywood Power List, was scolded by the hot-tempered Redstone!

At this moment, the well-known actor Mel Gibson on the side is also very envious, and secretly said in his heart: "It really is the communication between the bosses, if the producer is not Zucker Wald, I will rush to the film in the past few months. If you don’t listen to it, you might be banned by the entire industry.”

Switch to Zucker, no shit!

As far as his current personal wealth is concerned, Zucker has surpassed his Redstone. Well, at least over $3 billion!

"Zuke, to be honest, I envy you a little."

Redstone didn't wait for Zucker's response, and said to himself: "You said, your Wald Pictures has created so many series of movies in just a few years."

Zucker was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Deadly Bend" series, "Human Removal Project" series, "Death Comes" series, "Spider-Man" series, "Harry Potter" series......

And that's not counting the Fast and Furious series being filmed;

And the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series that has just been approved and is in the stage of script writing;

If you add a lot of Marvel superhero copyrights in Zucker's hands, tsk tsk tsk~, before you know it, Zucker's film company already owns at least 10 series of movie copyrights.

Lei Shidong said solemnly: "Although I seldom pay attention to Paramount Pictures, I also know something. Judging from the box office form in recent years, the future of Hollywood must be a series of movies."

"Whoever owns a sufficient number of series films can maximize the company's profits and avoid losses."

After speaking, Lei Shidong looked at Zhu Ke with a burning gaze.

Zhu Ke immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Old guy, I have to say, your eyes are poisonous enough!"

Entering the 21st century, Hollywood has to face a problem.

——Lack of original ability, and it is difficult for original scripts to gain high box office;

Especially after 2005, there are no movies produced by Hollywood, non-series sequel movies, and movies that can make more than 1 billion US dollars at the box office!

In addition, there are also a large number of high-box-office movies, which are adaptations from comics and comics;

Original screenplays take great risks, and even the big six Hollywood movie giants can't afford the risk of huge losses.

........

Not long after, the Oscars ceremony officially began.

Host Steve Martin appeared;

The well-known actress Catherine Zeta-Jones announced the winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Art Direction;

The Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage, who is most popular with oriental audiences, took the stage and presented the Best Supporting Actress award;

Russell Crowe takes the stage to present the Best Editing Award;

........

After the whole process, the atmosphere of the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone involved kept a posture of participating in it all the time.

After all, every now and then a camera swipes over them.

Tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV have watched it, and of course they have to consider the impact.

But.......

At this moment, Zhu Ke and Redstone sitting in the front row, the two have been talking all the time, completely separated from the whole scene.

Many people can't help but have black lines all over their heads.

"This, this, this is too..."

"Unscrupulous, right? Don't you look at who they are, man?"

"That's right. One of them is the boss of Paramount, the other is the boss of Wald Pictures, the Oscar organizer and everyone in the academy. Who dares to offend them? Who cares about these rumors between the two of them."

......

One by one bright and well-known actors, producers, and directors, now one is counted as one, and Quan Dang has not seen it.

Xiao Lizi couldn't help but smacked his mouth and said, "Maybe, this is the real boss!"

Toby Maguire nodded and said: "At their status, they no longer need to deal with others, but others should deal with them."

Spielberg, the great director, was envious: "Wald Pictures has now completely surpassed my DreamWorks!"

Director Steven Soderbergh, who provoked Zucker not long ago, looked resentful, "This bastard, ignore me completely!"

The invited guests couldn't help but stunned, and no one from the organizer of this year's Oscars dared to come forward to remind them. They could only ask the photographers at the scene to try their best not to make mistakes.

This is the real boss!

" "The second is sent.
