Chapter 14 Teletubbies and SpongeBob SquarePants
Victor Jones, who has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years, has prepared a shooting team in less than three days.
"Everyone, you are all veterans who have worked in Hollywood for at least three years, so I won't say much nonsense. My request is very simple. Be sure to complete the preparatory work for the movie within three weeks."
At Zucker's home in Los Angeles, Zucker directly ordered everyone in the shooting team.
The film "Running Lola" is just a small-budget movie, with not complicated scenes, mainly watch shops, convenience stores, and street scenes. These sets are really not difficult, or very simple for everyone on the shooting team.
"I have no problem here." The setter spoke first.
"I'm fine, either." said the props master.
Next, the rest of the people also expressed that they would complete the preliminary preparations within three weeks.
"Very good. I don't ask for much for sets and props, just save money and beautifying."
For today's exchange, Zhu Ke has put in great painstaking efforts.
It took several big nights.
Just for the script, the character concept picture was drawn more than 20 pages; as for the movie storyboard script, hundreds of pages were prepared.
After all, who made Zucker less than 20 years old?
Young represents vitality and future potential, but it also means being easily despised!
Zhuke is the boss of Wald Pictures, and it is true that he pays them to pay their funders. However, the Zhuke they know is just a high school graduate and has no relevant experience in film and television production. He started out as a director or filming a film released in theaters. Even if the cost is low, it is not enough to be believed.
Therefore, no matter how much Zhuke prepares, he will not be too much.
What's more, Zhu Ke himself is the first time that the big girl has taken the sedan chair.
"I am a director myself, and I don't actually want to make money. It's an obsession in my previous life."
"Although I graduated from the director department in my previous life, my grades were only average and I had never filmed films at all."
Although Zhuke has zero practical experience, he is still somewhat confident.
Because the movie "Running Lola" has few scenes and is easy to shoot.
The most important thing is that when Zhuke was in college in his previous life, the school teachers spent eight classes, analyzing the movie in extremely detailed terms from the scenes, story background, character personality, lighting, lines, etc.
A large amount of homework was assigned afterwards.
Well, a lot of homework.
"Okay, just because I failed my homework several times, I was repeatedly scolded five times, and I copied it fifty times by just copying it. How can I not be impressed now?" Zhu Ke couldn't help but curse his lips and cursed in his heart.
This is why Zucker has zero shooting experience, but he still dares to try it out.
In the following time, Zhu Ke and the main people in charge of the shooting team began a seven-hour communication.
night.
After everyone in the shooting team left, Zhu Ke was still struggling.
Today, the short seven hours of communication, and the rich experience of these people has indeed benefited Zhu Ke a lot. I also learned a lot of things I didn’t understand before.
"I have never made a movie or made a movie, the difference is not that big!"
"Rolla Run is Wald Pictures' first film. It does not require a big sale, but it must be guaranteed to be successful."
"It seems that I still need to keep working hard!"
Zhuke thought repeatedly, but at this moment, the doorbell rang.
Get up and open the door.
The person who came was a little surprised to Zhuke, but it was reasonable.
Charlize Theron!
"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Huh? Why are you here? You're bringing gifts." Zhuke staggered his body and asked the King of Seit in.
Charlize Theron is wearing a white dress today, low-cut and not wearing underwear. He looks sexy and beautiful, which makes Juke swallow.
Damn it!
What is this to do?
Sister, I am only 19 years old!
I'm still a child!
"Charlize, don't you have to go to work today? I remember it's only 9 pm and it's not time to get off work." Zhuke said with a temptation.
"Boss, I'm on vacation today!"
Emperor Sai looked at Zhuke charmingly and said coquettishly: "I went shopping late today. I happened to pass by here, so I thought about coming over to see you. After all, you usually take good care of me and brought you pizza, which is still the seafood flavor you like."
Just by?
Take a look?
Do you take good care of you?
"You fuck you go! This is a suburb, not the city center, so follow the path! And don't you always say behind your back that I'm a vampire?"
Of course, Zhuke didn't say these words, and just complained dozens of times in his heart.
"I want to see how you perform next?"
Well, in fact, Zhuke doesn't need to guess, everyone knows what she is doing today.
It's just that I know that Zucker has acquired a film company and is preparing to start filming the first movie, and come to ask for roles.
In the next time.
Charlize Theron kept telling about the difficulties he had come from South Africa, the misfortune of his family, thanking Zhuke for his work, etc., and mentioned his movie dreams many times, playing the emotional card.
But Zucker didn't accept it at all!
While listening to her, she looked at the materials in her hand.
"Damn boss, I've said so clearly. Why don't you go on the road and give me a role?" Emperor Sai was secretly in his heart.
However, Zhuke's inner activities are like this: "Just just say a few nice words, you can get a role. Is there anything so cheap? Even if I planned to use you to save money at the beginning, but now you deliver it to your door by yourself, I don't want any benefits, wouldn't I lose?"
Zhuke is the kind of person who "if you don't pick up money when you go out, you'll lose it." He is best at climbing along the pole!
Taste the salty when rich, and see the appearance when poor!
I haven't eaten pork, but I have always watched Pig Run. In my previous life, Zhu Ke was in the entertainment industry and watched investors, directors, producers, and unspoken rules by taking roles. I haven't tried it yet.
"Boss, it's very late, so I'll leave first."
Finally, Emperor Sai looked at Zhuke speechlessly and left angrily.
When she walked to the door, she glanced blankly, as if saying, "Are you going to have an unspoken rule? If so, you will understand it at that time. I won't understand your attitude."
Well, Zhuke is inexperienced!
Zhu Ke doesn’t understand how to operate the unspoken rules!
Sister, I'm still a child!
I don't understand, you teach me!
.........
During the preparations for "Rola Run", Zucker also took the time to go to a law firm and spent money to ask them to design a tax avoidance plan for themselves.
That's right, it's tax avoidance!
Zhuke has been traveling through time for almost half a year. Relying on the information given by the system and his own efforts, he has earned nearly $30 million in assets from Netscape and Pixar's stocks, Toy Story peripherals and other projects.
It can be said that it has achieved remarkable results!
However, from the end of February to April every year, it is a headache for American citizens, and taxes are required!
"If I don't develop a tax avoidance plan, how much money will I lose!" Zhu Ke cursed the American tax agency in his heart.
"Mr. Wald, please rest assured that our firm will design an excellent tax avoidance plan for you in the short term." said the middle-aged elite lawyer confidently.
Well, he is still a Chinese, a second-generation immigrant named Zhang Wei, nicknamed Snack!
"Very good. By the way, I have one more thing to ask you."
"Please say it."
"It's not a big deal, it's just the copyright registration of an animation and infant education series."
"What about specific? Is the application scope limited to North America, or is it included in Europe and Asia?"
.........
The purpose of Zhuke's visit today is to avoid taxes, and to apply for copyright registration.
The cartoon to apply for copyright is called: SpongeBob SquarePants.
The infant and early childhood education series to be applied for is called: Antenna Baby.
I have to say that Zhu Ke is a thief.
"SpongeBob SquarePants" has information provided systematically, so it's okay to apply for copyright registration, but where does Zhuke have detailed information in "Aerial Baby"?
Although Zhuke doesn't remember the specific content of the antenna baby, he has seen it in his previous life, and it has been more than once.
There is no need to be particularly specific. As long as the registration content, including the protagonist's image, name, content theme, story outline, etc., is completely legal in terms of legal provisions. In other words, as long as the application can be completed, then the extremely influential work of "Aerial Baby", will be from the old Zhu family from now on!
In fact, the series "Aerial Baby" is only suitable for children under the age of 8. Well, it is relatively naive, but it makes money!
Can you not make money after selling copyrights from dozens of countries?
Chapter completed!
