New Line Film.

Today, a large number of North American theater leaders gathered in the film screening hall within Xinyi Film, with more than 30 people. Similarly, major Hollywood film companies also sent many representatives.

Everything is because today is the test of "Lord of the Rings 1".

Zhu Ke is also on the invitation list.

"Boss, Mr. Wald is sure to be on the scene?"

Modo, director of the distribution department of Xinyi Films, asked: "As far as I know, Mr. Wald has almost never fallen into every movie produced by Wald Pictures, but he has rarely attended the works of other film companies in the past two years."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi immediately said confidently: "He will definitely come!"

Modo: "..."

To be honest, Moduo has some doubts.

Several executives in Xinyi Film Industry did not know where their boss got their confidence.

In the past two years, except for some necessary occasions, Zhu Ke has rarely participated in activities in other companies and is very low-key.

but!

This time, Shay is right!

Zhuke is really here, and he is here with John Lasseter of Pixar animation.

"Hey, Shay, I'm not late, right?" Zucker greeted.

"What's the matter of late or not? You can come here because you have the greatest support for me and the movie "Lord of the Rings"!" Shea's lips were filled with joy.

With Zhuke's arrival, he Shay was naturally very excited.

Although Xinyi Film is within the Hollywood range, although it is also very powerful and has backed by Disney Group, its strength has made many colleagues envious, but facing Zhu Ke, he never dares to be arrogant.

Money determines status, status determines voice ~

After a simple greeting, Zucker and Lasset entered the interior of the venue.

"Boss, you are really imaginary!"

Modo, director of the distribution department, said in surprise: "You said Mr. Wald will definitely come. Isn't that? He is really here today!"

Immediately afterwards, Eric, director of the News Department of Xinyi Film, echoed: "In July this year, Universal Pictures invited Mr. Wald to attend the premiere of the movie "Jurassic Park 3", but he didn't even go. However, our company's movie was just a test set, and it wasn't the premiere, so he came, which shows that the boss's face is great."

Sheayi enjoyed every word of flattery.

but......

"Bad! I don't have that much face."

Shay said in a faint tone: "If he weren't the major shareholder and chairman of Vita Digital, would you think he would come? He was not giving me face, but looking at the money."

Modo: "..."

Eric: "..."

The position of the movie "Lord of the Rings" in film history is not necessary to describe it too much. It is definitely the most magnificent movie in the early 21st century!

The computer special effects in the "Lord of the Rings" movie are undertaken by Vita Digital in New Zealand.

As the major shareholder of Vita Digital, Zhuke naturally has to support his Vita Digital for his own Vita Digital. Everything depends on the interests!

......

"Mr. Wald!"

"Mr. Lasseter!"

...

Zhuke and Lasset were warmly welcomed as soon as they entered the venue.

There is no way, this is the card.

Zhuke, the current entertainment media tycoon in Hollywood, has a huge amount of funds in hand, so he is naturally the target of being pleasing to theaters;

John Lasseter, who came with him, was also very well-known.

The leader of the five Pixar Tiger Generals;

Shareholders of Pixar Animation;

The top animation producer and director in the United States and even the world;

He created the "Toy Story" series of animated films;

Jobs' right-hand man;

Any name that can be picked out alone can make him a welcome person from all parties.

A representative of AmC Cinema, one of the three major theaters in North America, said: "Mr. Wald, I have watched the news from the past two days. Good guy, I have launched three first-line A-class commercial productions in a row, which is indeed a big deal!"

"Then you have to say..."

Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major theaters in North America, said: "As far as this year, Mr. Wald is definitely the first to do a big investment in film investment, even the six major theaters in Hollywood are worse than that in the world."

Ximanke, one of the three major theaters, is not willing to be outdone.

"Mr. Wald, we, Ximanke and Wald Pictures, are old friends. "Spider-Man 2" and "Harry Potter" have been launched. I won't say much, but for the Pirates of the Caribbean that have just been prepared, you can't forget that we Ximanke, we want to participate in the investment."

Many people have already set their sights on the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which has a total production cost of up to $140 million.

Especially in terms of film investment!

Once upon a time, Ximanke participated in the investment in the movie "Spider-Man", which was definitely a big profit.

Who else is not envious of other peers?

Zhuke smiled and said without hesitation: "As long as you are willing to invest, I will definitely welcome you with both hands. If you are interested, you can go directly to Kevin Feige. I believe our cooperation will continue to be pleasant."

"Sure! Sure!"

The representative of Ximanke Cinema was so proud.

The representatives of amc theaters and imperial entertainment theaters, including the watch straps of other small and medium theaters, are naturally a bit delicious, and they also want to get a share of it.

Who is not interested in projects that can make money?

So it was clearly the test set of the movie "Lord of the Rings", but Zucker became the most popular person in the audience today!

"Zuke, you guy~ wherever you go, you're the damn focus!"

John Lasseter said.

Zhuke shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "What can I do? Alas, my charm that has nowhere to rest~"

"fart!"

Lasset unceremoniously undermined: "If it weren't for the news that Wald Pictures had officially announced the total investment of "Spider-Man 2", "Harry Potter 2", and "Pirates of the Caribbean" a few days ago, would you think you would be so charming?"

Zhuke was smuggled and didn't mind at all.

"I'm still saying that I'm a good friend, and I don't give me any face." Zhu Ke curled his lips.

"Good evening, Mr. Wald! I'm James Jacks, a producer at Universal Pictures."

At this moment, another middle-aged man came over.

Zhuke frowned slightly.

But Lasset gloated on the side and whispered: "The road to enemies is narrow."

James Jacks is a senior producer of Universal Pictures. His representative works include the "Mummy" series, "Scorpion King", etc.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, he is also one of the top producers.

In North America, producers are at the forefront of the industry chain, and directors have far less power than producers, except for a few big directors.

"Since the last incident, I have wanted to have a good chat with Mr. Wald. After all, I think there may be some misunderstandings between us."

Jacks looked at Zucker with a sincere look.

However... Zhu Ke was disgusted.

Zhuke said disgustedly: "You have dug him, Johnson, directly. Now you still say that you are not misunderstandings. Is it interesting?"

"Mr. Wald, I think..."

"Stop! Stop! If you are the chairman of Vivendi Group, even if you are the CEO of Universal Pictures, I can argue with you well, but... you are not!"

In a word, Zucker looked down on him James Jacks.

Even though Jacks is a top producer, he is not qualified to have an equal conversation with Zucker.

I'm not alone with the snake, and I'm playing around with each other...

That also requires equal status between both parties, right?
