Director Simon West, who has directed the "Air Prison" with a global box office of more than $220 million, is true, but now, as the top six major Hollywood Paramount Pictures, has given him an olive branch, how can he refuse?

Not only did he not refuse, he also happily accepted the director position of Tomb Raider.

The director's salary is $3 million.

No box office dividends.

Although director Simon West is nearly 40 years old, he is still a new Hollywood director, and the box office dividends... he can't enjoy it.

Look at Zucker's confidant Zach Schneider!

Before entering Hollywood, Zach was a well-known advertisement in the United States, director of MV. Later, he filmed many popular films such as "Hard Fruit Candy", "Human Clearance Plan", "Spartan 300 Warriors". After a long time of test, he won the first box office share contract in his life in the small-budget movie "Shark Beach".

It’s so difficult for the director to share the box office!

As for the profit sharing of products around the movie, it can be enjoyed by several Hollywood's top directors. Well, not every movie can be found.

"Simon, don't hesitate. Paramount and Mr. Wald offered directorial pay, but not low." Agent Baron urged.

"I know."

Director Simon nodded and said, "Even if I have the honor of "Air Prison", my current salary is only $2 million according to the market price. This time Paramount and Mr. Wald offered a $3 million price tag, which is quite generous."

The agent Baron rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "It's great. This time you directed the movie "Tomb Raider", you can not only climb the Paramount line, but also work with Mr. Wald. Your road will definitely be very broad in the future. Countless directors are simply envious of you!"

Of course, the agent is very excited. Only when their artists become famous can they get more rewards.

at the same time.

A well-known brokerage company in the United States.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the caa headquarters building was solemn. Especially in the conference room where the meeting was being held, the atmosphere was solemn and water was about to drip out.

"Director Simon West, he is not the contracted director of our Caa, but a person from WMA (William Morris) company." Jori Movich, head of the film and television department, said gritting his teeth.

"What's strange about this?"

An executive curled his lips and said, "This is not Juke Wald's usual behavior. As long as it is his Juke movie, the director and main actor will never use us, well, except for Charlize Theron."

Everyone at the scene nodded with heavy expressions.

Competition in Hollywood is everywhere.

Although caa is one of the largest brokerage companies in the United States, its competitors are also vegetarians, WMA (William Morris) and ICM (International Innovation Management) companies, which are Caa's mortal enemies.

Jori Movich, head of the film and television department, said in a deep voice: "There are only so many resources in Hollywood, and the development of Wald Pictures is getting faster and faster. We have had bad relationships with Juke Wald and have had a bad relationship. This is an indisputable fact. If it continues for a long time, it will definitely be unfavorable to us."

"Jorry, are you going to... bow your head? Beg for mercy to Juke Wald, a petty guy?!" An executive said in horror.

Cut your head, compromise...

It sounds so bad!

As one of the largest brokerage companies in the United States, Caa naturally has its own pride. You should know that a few years ago, a lower-level broker in their company dared to rush into any of the six majors and clamored at the six majors.

What a pleasure that is!

Well, the rampant past no longer exists.

But it was really uncomfortable to beg for mercy to Zhuke directly and some of the executives who were immersed in the glory of the past.

Jori Movich, the head of the film and television department, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't beg for mercy, wait to die! Look at the casting list of Tomb Raider. Are these actors from our caa company?"

"No, none!"

"Everyone, just imagine, with the further expansion of Wald Films, will there be our caa guys in Hollywood? Which of those actors and directors is not a good person? If this continues, they will not run away most of them?!"

The situation is serious!

For a moment, all the Caa executives present calmed down.

.........

The next day.

Zhuke is on the crew of "Tomb Raider" and issuing orders.

"Mengta Qiudi, with 16 years of lighting experience, has participated in the filming of "Titanic" and served as the leader of the lighting team. Tom, the task of recruiting her will be handed over to you. Three days later, I will see her in the office."

"Haka Philip, a top-notch makeup artist. Your task is to bring him into the crew."

"Lonwell Williams, the top Hollywood prop maker..."

.........

Undoubtedly, the people Zhuke has selected are top talents in Hollywood filmmaking.

They are not affiliated with Paramount Pictures, but they exist as independent workers, but no one can ignore their abilities.

For a movie, director and starring actors are the top priority, but excellent behind-the-scenes workers are also indispensable. If Zhuke wants to choose the most suitable director and starring actor, then there is no allowance for any flaw in the selection process of behind-the-scenes workers.

All orders are issued.

"Mr. Wald, Mengta Choidi, Haka Philip, Lonwell Williams, etc., they are not easy to invite, after all, they have multiple film contracts on them." Tom Harris looked puzzled.

Zucker nodded.

The better the talent, the more popular it is.

These independent behind-the-scenes workers have almost never stopped their work. The next film appointment will be seamless and they are very busy~

Several hours later, Zucker received a call.

Jori Movich, head of the film and television department of caa brokerage company!

"Mr. Wald, I heard that the Tomb Raider project is inviting Mengta Choidi, Haka Philip, Lonwell William and others to work in lighting, makeup, props, etc. We can help you." A voice came from the phone.

Zhu Ke looked surprised, but in a flash he calmed down: "How long will it take to get it done?"

Jori Movich: "In one week, I will definitely bring these people to you."

"It's too long, can it be done in three days?" Zucker said in a deep voice.

The phone fell into a quiet for several seconds...

"Yes. Please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you." Jori Movich said firmly.

"good!"

Zhuke said calmly: "After a while, I will ask Paramount's Tom Harris to invite several artists in your company to audition."

"Thank you very much!" An excited voice came from the phone.

How can Jori Movich not be excited now?

Zhuke sent an audition invitation to their caa artists. Isn’t this the result he wanted?

This is a signal of reconciliation!

Of course, if they want to free Mengta Chodi, Haka Philip, Lonwell William and others from their film contracts with other companies, they would have to pay a lot of favors and money, but they still did it without hesitation.

Zhuke was not the one they could bully at the time, but needed to curry favor with Hollywood tycoons.

The phone hangs up.

Ding Ding Ding!

Another phone call came.

"Boss, turn on the TV soon. Microsoft's Bill Gates is holding a press conference and announces that he will officially step down as Microsoft CEO from now on!"

"The position of Microsoft CEO will be taken over by Steve Balmer. At the same time, Microsoft's share price and market value on Nasdaq fell rapidly."

The person who called was Ante Chelop, the new president of Dafeng Capital.

As soon as the news came, Zhu Ke immediately bounced out of his seat.

Microsoft's antitrust investigation and Bill Gates' resignation as Microsoft's CEO is not a signal that the Internet bubble is about to explode?

This is undoubtedly the fuse of the outbreak of the Internet bubble!
Chapter completed!
