Chapter 30 The chilling shooting scene
May 5, 1996.
As of today, "Rola Run" has been online for a month in North American theaters, with a cumulative box office of US$15.375 million. Although North American theater movies were basically a long-term screening mode in the 1990s, as long as there are still people watching it, they will continue to be played in remote areas for two or three months, but don't expect to harvest much US dollars.
$16 million is basically the final box office destination of "Rola Run" in North America.
Therefore, some major Hollywood companies with overseas distribution qualifications took the initiative to contact Wald Pictures to purchase overseas copyrights.
However, their bid was too low.
It has not reached Zhuke's satisfaction level at all.
"Mr. Wald, you have to understand that generally speaking, the overseas box office is 1.5 times that of North America. According to the North American results of "Running Roll", the overseas box office is up to 24 million US dollars. We Paramount also has to pay a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, the copyright fee of 2 million US dollars is a very sincere price."
The person who said this was the contact person of a distribution department in Paramount.
In fact, logic is, this price is indeed a price that conforms to market rules.
However, others don’t know the overseas prospects of "Run Lola Run". However, Zhuke is a time traveler. He knows that "Run Lola Run" has achieved a box office of over $100 million overseas. Even if "Run Lola Run" does not have the award bonus of the three major European film festivals as in the original time and space, the overseas box office may not reach $100 million, but even if it is half a deal, it will be a box office of $50 million.
Now he sells it at a low price of $2 million, how could Zhu Ke be willing to do so?
"Thanks to Paramount for his sincerity, but we still need to consider it. I hope you understand." CEO Victor politely refused.
Upon hearing this, Paramount's contact person regretted: "Okay, if your company has considered it, please be sure to contact me."
The business is unsuccessful and righteous!
I have to say that this Paramount contact is indeed two brushes.
There is no slightest sense of arrogance in the words of a large company, but instead speaking makes people feel like spring breeze.
"Boss, have you seen it? This is the foundation of a large company. Any contact person in the distribution department is a rare talent in Hollywood. In any small company, it is enough to serve as CEO." Victor said.
Zucker nodded.
Talent!
The talent reserves of large companies are indeed terrifying!
Zhuke is unacceptable to the 2 million US dollar overseas copyright fee, but he can't do anything about it.
I don't have an overseas distribution network!
Oh, no, even in North America, Wald does not have a complete distribution network, and now it can only affect one California state.
Zhuke immediately gritted his teeth: "Victor, I will inject $3 million into the company later, including the first box office share sent by theaters. You will use it to build a distribution network in North America. I don't look at the process, I just want the results."
"OK."
Victor nodded solemnly.
Without a complete distribution network, Wald Pictures will always be at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain and be exploited. For example, for large companies, even if the films they shoot themselves every year are in losses, but because of the improvement of the distribution network, they can exploit a large amount of benefits from small and medium-sized companies every year.
Large companies with strong issuance capabilities are the ones at the top of the food chain!
The overseas copyright of "Run Lola" is only $2 million?
Zhu Ke gritted his teeth and sold it!
Not only that, Zhu Ke also sold the DVD, videotape, TV broadcast, peripheral authorization and other copyrights of "Rola Run" in one go, earning $4.5 million.
Compared with its shooting cost of only $800,000, Wald Pictures can be said to be a big profit!
.........
The filming scene of the movie "Hard Fruit Candy".
"Each department is ready~!"
I have to say that Zach Schneider, who was the first to be a film director, did not have the deep directorial skills when filming "Superman: Man of Steel", but he still had a very impressive directorial skills. He started shooting the climax part of the movie as soon as he started.
In his words: "When the filming started, both the actors and the crew members, although they needed to be in the most exciting stage because they were unfamiliar with each other, and even the climax part could be filmed well, it would be very easy to shoot next."
Zhuke also sat aside, staring at the monitor in front of Zach.
“Please, please~!”
The Hulk, who plays the perverted male lead, is oh no, it is Mark Ruffalo, who is now tied to a small bed, his lower body is taken off, and he sits in a key position covered with ice.
She was covered in cold sweat and tears couldn't stop flowing down her body.
This is about to be castrated!
In contrast, the heroine Hailey, who was wearing medical uniforms, was the young black widow, with a look of indifference and innocence.
While working on the scalpel, he spoke, "I asked my friend if he wanted to castrate a man, and she made a disgusting sound, as if she wanted her to swallow the bugs. Okay, maybe you might feel pulled because I'll tie it a little tightly, okay? So, bear it."
"Okay, half done, victory is in sight."
"Don't be dizzy, don't be dizzy, there's no problem."
"Jeff, do you know that some men have only one egg in their lives and live a good life, right? Of course I heard that, I think it's right anyway, well, I leave you an egg, it won't be considered a punishment for you. Don't be dizzy, don't be dizzy, Jeff, it'll be fine soon. But if I leave you an egg, then you won't be able to walk straight, right?"
"You will soon enter a whole new world."
Cut it off, OK, OK, this is simply a very easy surgery. I think girls should learn camping, buying cookies and other things, I said that this is a useful skill. In the next eight or nine days, you will face unprecedented pain. Oh, maybe you will have to face the problem of removing the stitches yourself. After all, you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of others. Oh, I will introduce you to a website, Eunuch Q&A, which has what you need."
"Oh by the way, do you want to leave some souvenirs for you? You don't need it, so let me see how far this thing can be played?"
13-year-old Scarlett Johnson, at this moment, felt extremely dull and "Have you eaten it?", which made all the men present feel cold in their lower body.
Damn it!
Zhu Ke heard the whispers and insults from the crew next to him.
Man, castrate!
I usually feel cold all over when I listen to it, let alone facing this matter now!
Zhu Ke also felt stiff all over.
"Damn, I won't be a director anymore, but the producers are not something that people do!"
"Fortunately, this is just "Fruit Hard Candy", not "Human Centipede".
That’s right, Zhuke, who was thinking about it, thought of a future Hollywood heavy-tasting movie "Human Centipede". In comparison, it is perverted!
Several young men and women were stripped naked, injected with anesthesia, and after surgery, they were connected together.
That’s right, it is the story of the excretion organs of the previous person and the mouth of the latter person being connected with needle and thread, and the subsequent one is like this in turn. The story of the previous person eating junk food, while the next person can only eat the excrement (feces) of the previous person.
This is the heavy taste!
But even so, the castration plot of the film "Hard Fruit Candy" still makes all men sweat all over.
The next few days of shooting were indeed as Zach Snyder had expected. After the orgasm, the other part was taken, and it was much easier and smoother.
"Sure enough, I, a half-baked director, are really not as good as others." Zhu Ke couldn't help but sigh.
On May 12, Zucker left the set and went to Silicon Valley to attend an event.
Well, it is an exchange event between new and old Internet companies organized by Silicon Valley.
Of course, Zhu Ke has to participate in this kind of activity, and he may encounter some valuable investment projects.
Chapter completed!
