A few days later.

A shooting base under Universal Pictures.

The famous Spider-Man officially started filming here. The launch conference of the opening ceremony attracted a large number of states across the United States, with as many as 78 media coming to seize the first-hand fresh information.

"Boss, there are 78 media outlets, which is double the number of what we expected." Kevin Feige sighed.

Zhuke looked at the hundreds of people in the venue and nodded immediately: "A while ago, A.S. Online and Warner were having such a fierce fight. Of course, our Wald Pictures also showed off. It's not surprising that they can come so many people today."

"Boss, I guess Spider-Man 2 will hold another opening ceremony, and the number of media coming will definitely be more than today." Kevin Feige firmly believed it.

"You're right."

Zhu Ke agreed with Kevin Feich's words.

Spider-Man 1 has achieved a box office of more than 800 million US dollars in the original time and space. Such a big IP naturally has unprecedented appeal.

"By the way, are Director Sam and the actors all here?" Zucker asked again.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Feige immediately said confidently: "Of course we arrived, and we came early. After all, this is our Class A-level first-line commercial production of Wald Pictures, so how dare they neglect it."

really.

When Zucker walked into the backstage from the venue, he met the film's director Sam Remy, the actor Toby Maguire, the actress Kirsten Dunst, the actor William Dafoe, the actor Little Green Devil, James Franko, and other major actors.

“Boss!”

"Mr. Wald!"

"Welcome, Mr. Wald!"

.........

Zhuke and Kevin Feige had just entered the backstage and everyone in the backstage, including the director and the male and female protagonists, stood up and said hello to Zhuke.

After all, they were holding the job given by Zucker.

"Everyone sits down, all sits down, let's sit down and talk." Zhuke actively played the role of the people-friendly image.

Why

This kind of high-ranking and out of the lives of the general public is really... so cool!

"Director Sam, although I am the number one producer of Spider-Man movies, I am busy with work on weekdays and may not be able to stay on the set. Don't mind at that time." Zhuke smiled.

"Understand, I understand!"

Speaking of this, how can Director Sam not understand?

In fact, Zhuke is indeed very busy. For movies like Spider-Man that he has watched more than once in his previous life, Zhuke just needs to focus on the general direction.

After all, Kevin Feige, the second producer, is also the logistics manager of the crew, and is not a vegetarian.

"Hello, Mr. Wald. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the leading actor Peter Parker."

The Generation Spider-Man Toby Maguire expressed his gratitude to Zhuke and even bowed to Zhuke.

Zhuke smiled and said, "Do it well, I believe no one is more suitable for the role of Peter Parker than you, come on!"

"Yes!" Toby Maguire said loudly.

Zhuke smiled and said nothing.

grateful?

How much is it worth?!

In the original time and space history, Toby Maguire's salary when he played Spider-Man 1 was $40,000, and even if he added dividends, the total was $80,000;

After starring in Spider-Man 2, the pay rose to $1.70,000, which is not considered the box office dividend;

However... when Spider-Man 3 was about to speak out, he asked the producer for a pay of up to $4.50,000!

As for thanking the producer for choosing him as Spider-Man, go to yours!

In the face of money, any thanks are false.

"I'm not a generous master. If I don't give it to you, you can't kill me."

Zhuke thought with a smile.

Wald Pictures signed a pay contract with Toby Maguire. The first movie was paid only 150,000 US dollars, and he still didn't pay any dividends. The second and third movies, even if the pay has increased, it will not soar to 450,000 US dollars.

The contract is signed, do you want to regret it?

hehe!

Even if Spider-Man 1 becomes popular, you will negotiate to modify the contract and increase the pay, and it will definitely give Wald Pictures the initiative.

You can't sign a trilogy film, but the hero is no longer you.

Zhuke is just like this.

Similarly, for the heroine, the Green Devil and other major actors in the series, Wald Pictures has signed multiple film contracts.

"The lion speaks loudly here, don't even think about it!" Zhuke swore.

Not long after...

Spider-Man 1's press conference has begun!

.........

A few days later.

March 1, 1999.

Zhu Ke stayed in the office of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, constantly looking at the recent reports of various subsidiaries, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

It can be seen that Zhu Ke is in a good mood.

"Boss, I'm very happy today?" Chief Assistant Alexander laughed.

"That's certain."

Zhuke said without hesitation: "I just read the news this morning. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

Immediately after taking the newspaper and reading it, Alexander couldn't help laughing.

Others don’t know, but he knows the mess of his boss and icq!

"Before I left IQ, I told Weisger not to expand blindly, but to take steady steps. Now the retribution has come. Faced with Microsoft's strong attack and seizing the market, the consequences of icq's blind expansion have emerged, that is, the liquidity is seriously insufficient. When they issue new shares, the market recognition has dropped a lot."

Zucker shook his legs happily.

"Oh? Why did you say that IQ is definitely losing?" Alexander asked.

Zhuke shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, but it's likely that he will lose. Of course, if I expected that I'd better, ICQ might be acquired by other large capital companies soon."

Blind expansion, insufficient working capital, and Microsoft's strong sniping, IQ must seek external financial assistance if it wants to win this battle.

Who is Microsoft?

That is a famous company that always "forced software installation" for you. Who can withstand this kind of rogue method?!

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about our grand Greek wedding, how many box offices have we achieved now?"

When Zhuke mocked Weisger, he was also a little sad.

After all, Zucker was once one of the major shareholders of icq!

"Boss, as of yesterday, my grand Greek wedding has achieved a total of US$119 million in North American box office. According to the marketing department's calculations, in the middle of this month, our movie can exceed US$150 million in North American box office results. After long-term screenings, the final box office destination is roughly US$222.6 million." Alexander reported.

Zhuke nodded, "What about overseas?"

"The movie is currently being released overseas, mainly in the UK, France and Germany. Since its release for 8 days, it has achieved a total box office of US$1.92 million."

"At the same time, we in Italy, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Spain and other 12 overseas countries, and we, Wald Pictures, have also determined the release matters with it."

Alexander reported on every detail.

Overseas distribution matters are currently the top priority of Wald Pictures.

Zhuke nodded and said, "Alexander, please explain to Old Bill and Victor that in the early stage, in order to expand overseas markets, we can give more profits to local publishers overseas."

“Yes, boss.”

Zhu Ke has worked hard for overseas issuance channels. The fastest Chinese ^

If you don’t give in, why should others let your movie be released?

All hell is the master who doesn’t show off the rabbit or the eagle!

Generally speaking, depending on the different film markets of different countries, the box office revenue ratio of the six major Hollywood companies in major European countries is 2941, and overall it can reach a box office share of 33.

But Wald Pictures does not have the six major strengths after all. The box office revenue ratio of my grand Greek wedding was 2332 overseas, which is much lower than the six majors.

"Let the way be more and more powerful!" Zhuke sighed.

A few days later...

Zucker, together with Wald Films president Bill McNick, a working group of up to 15 people, arrived in London, England by flight.

Harry Potter's casting begins!
Chapter completed!
