Hollywood Starts with Animation

Vol 2 Chapter 643: Not a fuel-efficient lamp

"Mr. Wald, it's an honor to see you again!"

Zach Bluff, the director and actor of "Love Return to New Jersey", immediately expressed his deep gratitude when he saw Zhuke.

"Zach, see you again, you are more energetic than before, not bad." Zhu Ke nodded slightly.

As soon as this remark came out, Zach Bluff became even more excited.

"Although I have expressed my gratitude to you more than once, at this moment, I still say thank you to you, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Zach Bluff gave Zhu Ke a deep bow.

In early 2001, Zhu Ke went to New York to inspect the development of Jin Shuguang Publishing Company. At that time, Zhu Ke, surrounded by a group of security personnel, had just walked out of the gate of Jin Shuguang Publishing Company, when a tall young man ran towards Zhu Ke directly.

However, he was stopped by the security guards beside Zhu Ke.

"Mr. Wald, my name is Zach Bluff. I am a screenwriter and director. This is my screenplay. Please correct me. I am grateful. Please give me a chance~"

Although the young man was stopped by security personnel, he still begged loudly.

He waited a long, long time in order to block Zhuke's opportunity...

In the end, Zhu Ke, who is good at guiding newcomers, gave him this opportunity.

Today, nearly a year has passed...

Zhuke patted Zach Bluff on the shoulder: "The opportunity is given to you. Now is the time to test you. If the film "Love in New Jersey" is completed, I can't be satisfied, and Kevin and Vic can't be satisfied. Wait for more people to be satisfied, then... well, you know, it’s hard for you to get a second chance."

"Please rest assured, I am not satisfied with everyone!"

Bluff promised loudly that he was full of self-confidence.

......

"Mr. Wald, hello!"

A soft voice reached Zhuke's ears.

She is indeed the heroine of the movie "Love Return to New Jersey"-Natalie Portman.

Zhuke shook hands with him: "It's nice to meet you, Miss Portman, I have watched the movies "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and the "Star Wars Prequel" series in which you participated. I have to say, you give me It left a deep impression."

The voice just fell.

"really?!"

At this moment, Natalie Portman looked at Zhu Ke with incredible eyes, and said in surprise: "I can't believe it to be able to let a good person like you remember me. I feel very honored!"

"of course it's true."

Zhuke said without hesitation.

Natalie Portman immediately said: "Compared with your achievements in wealth, I especially admire your achievements in the film industry, whether it is your personal first film "Lola Run" or the later " I like "Tuner" and "Burst Drummer" very much."

"Furthermore, "Fatal Bend", "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", "Spartan 300", "Juneo", "Fruit Hard Candies" written by your screenwriter..."

"I have watched all of these without fail."

"I think your talent in film is extremely rare!"

Flatter!

See also flattery!

Zhu Ke didn't know how many times he had listened to these kinds of words.

However, when a well-known and beautiful actress praises and flatters you in person, and can say it like a few treasures, I believe no one will get bored.

"Where is the reputation?" Zhu Ke laughed quickly.

but!

Zhuke didn't think so in his heart.

"She really deserves to be born at Harvard University, and she still majors in psychology."

"Just because she was able to tell me as many films as I directed, wrote, and participated in, it is enough to show that she has done a lot of preparation work."

"The most important thing is... she speaks very well!"

Zhu Ke always remained vigilant in his heart.

In Hollywood, some actresses can attract a large number of actresses with a wave of Zuke, and these people are also very willing to climb Zuke’s collapse;

However, some actresses are very troublesome!

Once provoked, they will stick to you like a dog skin plaster. Even if Zhu Ke, as a media tycoon, can suppress these negative news, Zhu Ke does not want to be entangled in these troubles.

"Undoubtedly, Natalie Portman is such an actress."

As a traverser, Zhu Ke understands her nature very well.

In 2009, Natalie Portman was involved in the marriage of director Darren Aronowski in order to win the role of the heroine during the film "Black Swan" and became the third party.

Negative news is full of noise.

Director Darren Aronofsky also became famous for a while.

"I don't want to be someone else's after dinner." Zhu Ke secretly said in his heart.

......

Not long.

The movie "Love Return to New Jersey" officially aired.

Zhuke, Victor, Kevin Fitch and other executives began to concentrate.

The film tells the story of the male protagonist Andrew (Zac Bluff) who has worked alone in Los Angeles for 9 years. He volunteered to become an actor, but he is still unknown today, and usually depends on working in a restaurant to make a living.

A phone call took Andrew back to his hometown in New Jersey.

For many years, he had little contact with his family for some reason, and taking antidepressants all the year round made him indifferent to everything around him, even if his mother who had been paralyzed for many years died unexpectedly. Until I met the beautiful but nervous girl Saman (Natalie Portman), the desperate life like stagnant water changed.

This is a niche movie;

A literary and artistic film suitable for literary youth;

"The niche theme is also a literary and youth film, and it is destined in the theme. It is difficult to achieve explosive box office results.

During the viewing process, CEO Victor whispered to Zhu Ke.

Zhuke nodded: "The production cost is only 2.5 million US dollars. Do you expect it to be a special effects blockbuster?"

"Yes."

Kevin Fitch on the side said: "It is undoubtedly difficult for low-cost movies to achieve huge box office profits. Of course, horror/thriller movies occasionally burst with amazing energy."

obviously!

Neither Kevin Fitch nor Victor, or even every executive of Wald Pictures, believes that the movie "Love Return to New Jersey" can achieve a huge box office cash.

But...Zuke narrowed his eyes.

The movie can be said to be the beginning of Hollywood literary and youth movies in the 21st century. It has the elements that similar movies should have in the future, awkward interaction between men and women, extensive use of independent orchestra songs as the soundtrack, and a glimmer of sunshine in the gloomy mood... ...

Later, you can find many literary and niche movies such as "Pumping", "City of Philharmonic", Xiao Lizi's "Manchester by the Sea", Rachel McAdams "Midnight Paris", etc. The shadow of "Love Return to New Jersey".

At the same time, its box office performance is also shocking!

With a production cost of only 2.5 million US dollars, after its release in 2004, the box office market in the United States alone received more than 35 million US dollars in box office performance.

A rare small-cost high-box office movie!

It can be said that this film has raised the ceiling of Wenqing movies by a large margin!

The movie is over.

Zhu Ke waved his hand: "Kevin, let's arrange the movie as soon as possible."

"No problem, boss."

Kevin Fitch laughed and said: "In the first half of this year, the company has determined that there are only two movies to be released, this is "Love Return to New Jersey" and "Chain Saw Fright" directed by Wen."

The voice fell down~www.novelmtl.com~ Student Zhu Ke was very satisfied.

The director Zach Bluff and actress Natalie Portman are even more satisfied.

They certainly hope that the movie can be released as soon as possible, and hope to achieve a good box office results.

Everyone is gone...

"Kevin, the cost of publishing "Love in New Jersey" can be increased to $4 million."

Zhuke said.

"Uh?"

Kevin Fitch was surprised: "Boss, are you optimistic about its box office performance?"

Zhuke blurted out: "Of course. I think it will make us shine."

"" The second update is sent.
