A few days later.

Zhuke, who is still on vacation, accepted an invitation and participated in an event called the Youth Director Exchange Conference.

In recent days, the somewhat lazy Zhuke has refused to participate in the event at the beginning.

But I can’t resist James Cameron’s invitation many times!

That’s right, the initiator of this young director exchange event is the internationally renowned director James Cameron who filmed "Titanic"!

"Boss, I just got a list of people attending this event from the organizer, but as far as I know, there are probably half of the people on the invitation list that cannot be visited."

As the convoy was about to arrive at the venue, Alexander explained the situation to Zucker.

Half of the invited people are not here?

Zhuke nodded: "Actually, it's understandable. After all, it's the end of May, and it's the best summer season."

In late May, major Hollywood production companies and distribution companies, including well-known directors, were almost at the busiest time of the year.

Take the list.

Before getting off the bus, Zhuke first looked at the invited guests in the car.

Leon Reeves;

Herat Anderson;

K.J. Edward;

......

Lawrence M. White;

Zhuke read several pages of information about invited guests in a row and woke up to find a fact that Zhuke almost didn't know the young directors on this list.

"This, this, who are these people...?"

Zhu Ke really doesn't know these young directors, and doesn't know about them.

Alexander said: "Boss, this youth director exchange event initiated by James Cameron is a young director after all, and it is normal for you not to know him."

Zhuke rolled his eyes: "Do you know each other?"

"hehe!"

Alexander laughed and said, "Boss, I did some homework before I came. Of course, if I hadn't prepared the lesson, I probably wouldn't know a few of them."

After all, he is just Zhuke's assistant. If he were replaced by executives in Wald Pictures' production department, he would probably be able to tell the young directors on the list one by one.

Just have a specialty in your profession.

“Huh?”

Zhuke turned over a few pages of information again, and in the last few pages, he saw familiar names.

"There are finally directors I know on this list."

【File: 009】

Name: Gus van Sant.

Gender: Male.

Age: 49 years old.

Career: Film director.

Representative works: "The Night is Deep, Love is Hard", "The Unruly Sky", "The Mind Catcher", "Looking for Frost"...

"So it's him~"

"The Night is Deep, Love Is Not a Song" is Gus Van Sant's personal film debut, and it is said to be the first film in the world to reflect the theme of homosexual love."

"Of course, his most famous movie "Elephant" has not been filmed yet, otherwise his reputation would have reached another level."

In 2003, the movie "Elephant" directed by Gus Van Sant won the Best Director Award at the 56th Cannes Film Festival. The box office performance of the film was also quite good.

...

【File: 015】

Name: Pedro Almodova (Spain).

Gender: Male.

Age: 52 years old.

Career: Film director.

Representative works: "Binding Me, Tie Me", "Living and Fragrance"...

"Hiss~"

"Damn it, it's this guy?"

Zhuke was slightly surprised.

It’s not because of how powerful director Pedro Almodova is, but because a series of films directed by him are a series of works that are very impressive and feasting.

For example: The two movies "Tie Me, Tie Me" and "Living and Fragrance" are in many countries because of their large scale, they cannot enter the theater market at all.

Banned films, absolutely banned films!

Pedro Almodova himself is also hailed by many as "the first person to be a banned film director."

...

【File: 027】

Name:Len Wiseman.

Gender: Male.

Age: 28 years old.

Occupation: Film and television editor.

Representative works: "Independence Day", "Man in Black", "Godzilla"...

Evaluation: As a director, he was a professional director, but did not enter Hollywood as a director in the first step, but became an experienced film worker as a film editor.

"Len Wiseman? A very familiar name."

“Huh?!”

"I remember it!!!"

"It turned out to be him! Ren Wiseman, the man who created the "Legend of the Night" series!"

The "Legend of the Night" series is nothing in Hollywood's classic series. After all, it is really nothing great compared to the "Back to Future" trilogy, "The Matrix" trilogy, "Batman" trilogy and other movies.

However, since its birth, the movie "Legend of the Night" still left a deep impression on Zhuke.

The War between Werewolf and Vampire, the heroine played by Kate Beckinsale, wearing a black windbreaker, dark Gothic style...

These scenes, Zhuke has been traveling through time to this day, and are vivid in his mind.

Although the box office of each of the movies in the "Legend of the Night" series is not particularly popular or hit, it cannot withstand the cost of a single movie, and it can bring considerable returns to the production company.

"Legend of the Night 1" costs $17 million, and the global box office is $97 million;

"Legend of Night 2" costs $21 million, with a global box office of $120 million;

"Legend of Night 3" costs $29 million, and the global box office is $135 million;

"Legend of the Night: Werewolf" has a global box office of more than $360 million;

Every movie in this series makes money!

Especially the sales and leasing of DVD and video tapes in the offline market are also quite high.

Zhuke was a little jealous.

"Now, Hollywood industry colleagues define Ren Wiseman as a film and television editor, not a director. In this way, we can cooperate."

......

Half an hour later.

Zhuke's convoy arrived at the event, the Pasha Hotel.

Hotel Pasha?

Well, it is also an industry under Zucker's name.

Zhuke's hotel industry has just started, with only three hotels across the United States. One is in downtown Los Angeles, one is in the shooting base of Zhuke 1, which is the most handsome in Burbank, and the last one is in New York.

"Hi, Zhuke, my friend, welcome you."

As soon as Zucker arrived at the venue, he was warmly welcomed by the event sponsor and famous director James Cameron.

"Friends, I'm pretty good. I know you don't like to participate in such activities. I specially placed the venue in the Pasha Hotel in your name. How about it? Do you think I'm very attentive and considerate?" Cameron laughed.

Zhuke couldn't help but smile: "I said, "Old guy, you have tried your best. I know, but you don't need to say it out loud. This makes you too fake."
