Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 363: Paramount will be a man
Somewhere in Los Angeles.
"what?"
"You said that on behalf of Paramount Pictures and Wald Pictures' crew, "Tomb Raider", you invited me to be the heroine?"
"real or fake?!"
Angelina Jolie looked at Zuke with surprise on her face.
The heroine of 80 million big movie-making!
Rao is Angelina Jolie who has been in Hollywood for many years. She has also acted as a leading actress. She has also worked with many big-name stars. But she has played a leading role in a movie that is close to 100 million US dollars, which is definitely the first time.
The most important thing is that "Tomb Raider" is a commercial movie!
In 1997, 1998, and 1999, for three consecutive years, Angelina Jolie, in addition to starring in Wald Pictures "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", has also participated in "George Wallace" and "Nice Clothes", and these two films are biographical films with a small cost.
In addition, the only normal movie, "The Soul Girl", in which she also appeared in the form of a supporting actress.
"Really let me play the heroine Laura in "Tomb Raider"?!" Angelina Jolie asked.
Zhuke sat on the sofa with his hands spread out: "Of course it's true, otherwise, I made a special trip to make a joke with you?"
"Thank you, Zhuke!"
Angelina Jolie threw down Zhuke excitedly and sent a sweet kiss. She is indeed very excited at the moment. She was too aware of the help Laura could bring to her.
It's pretty good to win awards everywhere for starring in literary and artistic films.
But without the aura of commercial movies, an actress's worth will never rise.
"Let me be the heroine, will Paramount make things difficult?" Angelina Jolie worried again.
"Ha ha!"
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this."
Zhuke is naturally confident to handle Paramount!
Speaking of this cooperation with Paramount, from travel, hotel, dining, discussion... all aspects, Zhu Ke has experienced Paramount's meticulous care.
In just a few days, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Paramount arranged for Zhuke the best, and provided high treatment within its ability.
Not only that, Lei Shidong, the owner of Viacom Group and Paramount Pictures, also came to chat with Zhu Ke every day.
"Tsk tut~"
Zhu Ke couldn't help sighing: "It's also the six biggest Hollywood, why is the gap so big?"
On Disney's side, what Zhuke saw was bullying;
In the process of cooperation with Paramount, what Zhu Ke saw was full of sincerity;
That night.
Zhuke did not go home, so he stayed at Angelina Jolie's house.
"I heard you are getting married soon?" Zhuke asked afterwards.
"Huh? Unexpectedly you knew it." Julie smiled.
Zhuke smiled and said: "Of course I know, Billy Bob Thornton. He and you should be because of the movie "Traffic in the Air", because of the drama. Recently, I have seen your report again."
Julie showed a look of interest and said: "You still have a leisurely mind to watch gossip."
Suddenly, Zhu Ke smiled bitterly.
What do billionaires look at gossip?
This is human nature!
Speaking of which, Julie is about to get married and is also a second marriage.
In 1996, Julie, who was only 21 years old, married Johnny Lee Miller, a well-known actor at the time, but...Later, Angelina Jolie was filmed for the film "Nice Clothes". , Was too involved and fell into the **** complex, began to separate from Johnny Lee Miller, and divorced in 1999.
Zhuke knows these things.
At the same time, as a traverser, Zhuke also knows that she and Billy Bob Thornton will not walk long.
The famous Brad Pitt was only Julie's third marriage partner.
Of course, the two got divorced later.
"Tsk tut~"
In Zhu Ke's heart: "Your circle is really chaotic."
.......
The next day.
After Zhuke washed himself, he left Julie's home and went to the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
"Boss, why do you come back soon?" CEO Victor asked puzzled.
Zhuke waved his hand and smiled and said, "Why won't you come? After all, "Tomb Raider" is still in preparation. It is estimated that the filming will have to wait until June/July. It is not in a hurry now. But... Paramount's service attitude is really not true. In other words, it’s so good, it makes me reluctant to come back."
"I know." Victor also laughed.
Zhu Ke served as the producer of the "Tomb Raider" project and cooperated with Paramount Pictures. This is not a big news.
The previous meeting between Zhu Ke and Redstone caused a sensation and attention, and many media newspapers across the United States reported on it. Right now, it has been confirmed that Zhu Ke is the producer of "Tomb Raider", and the media will naturally not miss it.
In the past few days, there have been quite a few news reports about Zhu Ke.
A few days later.
There is someone from Paramount.
"Mr. Wald, this is our revised script. You will read it again. If there is any problem, we will revise it in time." Executive producer Tom Harris respectfully said.
Check it out!
Look at the attitude of others!
Disney is far worse than that~
Zhuke smiled and said, "Tom, you sit down first, and I will look at the revised script."
In fact, the so-called "Tomb Raider" is a tomb robber of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, but it is all labeled as "adventure". I have to say that in terms of stealing the concept, Lao Mei is indeed shameless. of.
The most typical is the modern war movie in Hollywood!
Hollywood is very clever to blame all the killings on the clash of civilizations, not the people who started the war. Being able to invade other countries and claim to be a righteous party... Such a robber logic can only be done by Lao Mei.
The same goes for the movie "Tomb Raider".
Obviously it is a tomb robbing movie, but because the producer set a background for the heroine Laura to go to the tomb "for the sake of his father's wish", everything became magnificent.
"Digging a grave and setting up an archway, it's so **** good!" Zhu Ke smacked.
In terms of the script, Zhu Ke is quite satisfied.
After all, the movie "Tomb Raider" was seen many times before Zhuke crossed the journey, and the memory can be said to last forever.
Zhu Ke put down the script and asked, "Have you considered the director candidate?"
"Yes!" Tom Harris solemnly said: "Stephen Sommers, we think he is the most suitable candidate."
Stephen Sommers, a well-known Hollywood director, "The Mummy" series of movies is from his handwriting.
"He is not suitable." Zhuke blurted out.
"Huh?" Tom was surprised.
Zhuke explained: "I admit that Stephen Sommers is a very good director, but don’t forget, our "Tomb Raider" is a fantasy action movie, and Stephen Sommers is in an action movie. In terms of how bad it is, you don’t know. Just look at the action scenes in "The Mummy" and you will know."
In 2002, Stephen Sommers directed the film "Van Helsing", with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale as the leading actors and actresses. The film invested up to 160 million US dollars.
However... this ambitious work ended in a fiasco at the box office!
The producer, Universal Pictures, suffered a blood loss, and killed the director's heart.
The action scenes in the "Van Helsing" movie have been criticized by countless screens.
Just ask, how can Zhuke agree to let Stephen Sommers be the director of "Tomb Raider"?
"Mr. Wald, who do you suggest to be the director?"
Tom Harris's proposal was refuted, but he was not at all annoyed. On the contrary, he looked at Zhu Ke with grateful eyes, and his words were even more respectful.
Oh, this attitude makes Zhuke very useful.
Paramount is too good at being a human being. Where do you find such a talent?
"Simon West!"
Zhuke said.
Simon West is a fledgling new director in Hollywood.
In 1997, he directed his first film "Prison in the Air", which created a global box office of 220 million US dollars in one fell swoop ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ for the Disney Group to make a fortune.
"Tomb Raider", "The Expendables 2", "The Mechanic"...
And so on, the movies are all his masterpieces.
He is a director who is very good at creating tough guys on the screen. The action scenes under his lens make people hormonal again and again.
To propose this new director, Zhu Ke originally thought he would have to work hard to convince Tom Harris and Paramount Pictures, who knows... They agreed with Zhu Ke in only two days.
In Jordan’s words: "We trust you Zhuke and believe in your professionalism."
Take a look!
Take a look!
This collaboration with Paramount made Zhuke very happy. Even when his own Wald Pictures was making movies, Zhuke didn't feel so smooth.
"" The second update is sent.
