a few days later.

Zu Ke, who was still on vacation, accepted an invitation to participate in an event called the Youth Director Exchange Conference.

In recent days, the lazy Zucker refused to participate in the event at first.

I can't stand James Cameron's many invitations!

That's right, the initiator of this youth director exchange event is the internationally renowned director James Cameron who shot "Titanic"!

"Boss, I just got the list of people attending this event from the organizer. However, as far as I know, half of the people on the invited list are estimated to be unable to come."

When the team was about to arrive at the venue, Alexander explained the situation to Zucker.

Half of the invitees are not coming?

Zhu Ke nodded: "Actually, it's understandable. After all, it's the end of May, and it's the best summer vacation."

In late May, Hollywood's major production companies and distribution companies, including well-known directors, were almost at their busiest time of the year.

Take the list.

Before getting out of the car, Zucker first looked at the list of invited guests in the car.

Leon Reeves;

Herat Anderson;

K.J. Edwards;

......

Lawrence M. White;

Zhu Ke read several pages of the profiles of the invited guests in a row, and was startled to discover the fact that Zu Ke almost didn't know the young directors on this list.

"This, this, these people... who are they?"

Zu Ke really doesn't know or understand these young directors.

Alexander said: "boss, this youth director exchange event initiated by James Cameron,

After all, it is a young director, you don't know it, it is normal. "

Zhu Ke rolled his eyes: "Don't you know?"

"Ha ha!"

Alexander smiled and said, "Boss, before I came here, I did some homework. Of course, if I didn't prepare lessons, I probably wouldn't know a few."

After all, he is only Zucker's assistant. If he is replaced by executives of the production department of Wald Pictures, it is estimated that he will be able to tell the history of the young directors on the list one by one.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

"what?"

Zucker turned a few pages of information again, and in the last few pages, he saw familiar names.

"In this list, there is finally a director I know."

【File: 009】

Name: Gus Van Sant.

Sex: Male.

Age: 49 years old.

Occupation: Film director.

Representative works: "Deep Night, Unable to Sing Love", "Unruly Sky", "Soul Catcher", "Finding Frost"...

"It was him~"

"It's Deep at Night, Hard to Sing Love" is Gus Van Sant's personal film debut, and it is said to be the first film in the world to reflect the theme of same-sex love."

"Of course, his most famous movie "The Elephant" has not been filmed yet, otherwise his reputation will definitely rise to a higher level."

In 2003, the film "Elephant" directed by Gus Van Sant won the Best Director Award at the 56th Cannes Film Festival in one fell swoop. The film's box office performance was also good.

...

【File: 015】

Name: Pedro Almodóvar (Spain).

Sex: Male.

Age: 52 years old.

Occupation: Film director.

Representative works: "Tie Me, Tie Me", "Living Fragrant"...

"Sigh~"

"Fuck, it's this guy?!"

Zucker was slightly startled.

Not because of how great director Pedro Almodovar is, but because the series of films he directed are wide-ranging and feast for the eyes.

For example, the two films "Tie Me, Tie Me" and "Fragrance", in many countries, simply cannot enter the theater market because of their size.

Pedro Almodovar himself is also hailed by many as "the first banned film director".

...

【File: 027】

Name: Len Wiseman.

Sex: Male.

Age: 28 years old.

Occupation: Video editor.

Representative works: "Independence Day", "Men in Black", "Godzilla"...

Comments: As a director, his first step was not to enter Hollywood as a director, but to become an experienced film worker as a film editor.

"Len Wiseman? A very familiar name."

"what?!"

"I remembered!!!"

"It turned out to be him! Len Wiseman, the man who created the "Underworld" series of movies!"

The "Underworld" series of movies is nothing compared to the classic series of Hollywood movies. After all, it is compared to the "Back to the Future" trilogy, the "Matrix" trilogy, and the "Batman" trilogy. Wait for the movie, it's really not that great.

However, the "Underworld" series of films has still left a deep impression on Zucker since its birth.

The war between werewolves and vampires, actress Kate Beckinsale, a black trench coat, dark Gothic style...

These scenes, Zhu Ke traveled through to this day, are vivid in his mind.

The "Underworld" series of movies, although the box office of each movie is not particularly popular, but it can't stand the low cost of a single movie, which can bring very considerable returns to the production company.

"Underworld 1" cost $17 million to produce and grossed $97 million worldwide;

"Underworld 2" cost $21 million to produce and grossed $120 million worldwide;

"Underworld 3" cost $29 million to produce and grossed $135 million worldwide;

"Underworld: A Werewolf", its global box office exceeded 360 million US dollars;

Every movie in the series, it makes money!

In particular, the sales and rental of DVD and video tapes in the offline market are also not low.

Zucker was a little greedy.

"Nowadays, Len Wiseman is defined by his colleagues in the Hollywood industry as a film and television editor, not a director, so we can work together."

......

After half an hour.

Zucker's motorcade arrived at the Pasha Hotel, where the event was held.

Pasha Hotel?

Well, it's also an industry under Zucker's name.

Zucker's hotel industry is just getting started, with only three hotels nationwide. One in downtown Los Angeles, one in Burbank's graceful Zucker 1 shooting base, and the last one in New York.

"Hi Zucker, my friend, you're welcome."

As soon as Zucker arrived at the venue, he was warmly welcomed by the event sponsor and well-known director James Cameron.

"My friend, I am enough. Knowing that you are too troublesome and don't like to participate in such activities, I specially set the venue at the Pasha Hotel under your name. How is it? Do you think I am very careful and considerate?" Mellon laughed.

Zhu Ke couldn't help but smile: "I said old man, you're careful, I know, but you don't need to say it, it looks like you are too fake."

Cameron laughed and didn't care.

Step into the hotel.

Not long after, the group came to the twelfth floor of the hotel, um, that is where this youth director exchange event was held.

"Zuke, long time no see."

Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Pictures, walked over with a smile on his face.

Behind him was a bearded middle-aged man.

Shea introduced: "Zuck, let me introduce to you, this is director Peter Jackson from New Zealand, he is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zu Ke interrupted: "I know, he is the director of The Lord of the Rings."

"You actually know?" Xie Yi was immediately surprised.

Director Peter Jackson is also a little confused. After all, he is not famous in Hollywood at all, and he is not much worse than those budding rookie directors.

At this time, the movie "The Lord of the Rings" has not yet been released.

But... Zucker just knew him!

Before long, Peter Jackson's name will be resounding around the world, becoming a famous international director.

When the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy comes out, who does not know the king? !

In the future, he will shoot the "The Hobbit" movie series, which is also a global bestseller.

" "The first more is sent.
