Somewhere in Los Angeles.
"What?"
"You said that on behalf of Paramount Pictures and Wald pictures' Tomb Raider, you invited me to be the heroine?"
"True or false?"
Angelina Jolie looks at Zhuke with a surprise.
The heroine of 80 million movies!
Rao Shi Angelina Jolie has been in Hollywood for many years. She has also played a leading role and cooperated with many famous stars. However, it is definitely the first time that she has played a leading role in nearly 100 million dollar movies.
The most important thing is that Tomb Raider is a commercial movie!
In 1997, 1998 and 1999, for three consecutive years, Angelina Jolie starred in Wald's sixth sense, George Wallace and love in the rainbow. These two films are low-cost biographical films.
In addition, the only normal film "soul shifting girl" in which she also plays as a supporting actress.
"Do you really want me to play Laura in Tomb Raider?" Angelina Jolie asked.
Zucker sat on the sofa, hands spread out: "of course, it's true, otherwise, I came here to joke with you?"
"Thank you, Zhuk!"
Angelina Jolie pours on Junker excitedly and gives her a kiss. She's really excited at the moment. She was too aware of the help Laura could bring her.
It's good to get awards everywhere when you play in a literary film.
But without the halo support of commercial films, the actress's value will never rise.
"Will paramount make it difficult for me to play the leading role?" Angelina Jolie worries again.
"Ha ha!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that," Chuck said with a smile
Of course, Zhuke has the confidence to deal with paramount!
Speaking of this cooperation with paramount, from travel, hotel, dining, business... All aspects, Zhuke realized Paramount's meticulous care.
In just a few days, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, paramount arranged the best for Zhuke and provided high treatment within his ability.
Not only that, ray Shidong, the boss of Viacom group and Paramount Pictures, also comes to chat with Zhu Kechang every day.
"Tut tut ~"
Zhuke can't help sighing: "it's the same big six in Hollywood. Why is the gap so big?"
In Disney, what Zhuke saw was bullying;
In the process of cooperation with paramount, what Zhuke saw was sincerity;
That night.
Instead of going home, juke stayed at Angelina Jolie's.
"I hear you're getting married soon?" After the event, Juk asked.
"Why? I didn't expect you to know. " Julie smiles.
"Of course I know, Billy Bob Thornton," Chuck said with a smile. He and you should be connected because of the movie "traffic jam in the air". Recently, I have read your report again. "
"You still have time to watch gossip," Julie said, with a look of interest
All of a sudden, Zhuke had a bitter smile.
How do ten billion rich people see gossip?
It's human nature!
In a word, Julie is going to get married, and she is going to be a second.
In 1996, at the age of 21, Julie married Johnny Lee Miller, who was already a little-known actor at that time. However... Later, Angelina Jolie fell into the lesbian complex because she was too involved in making the movie "love in a rainbow dress" and began to live apart from Johnny Lee Miller. She divorced in 1999.
That's what Zucker knows.
At the same time, Zucker, as a passer-by, also knows that she and Billy Bob Thornton are not long-distance.
The famous Brad Pitt is just Julie's third marriage partner.
Of course, they got divorced later.
"Tut tut ~"
In Zhuke's heart: "your circle is really chaotic."
.......
The next day.
After washing up, Zhuke left Julie's home and went to Golden Dawn entertainment group.
"Boss, how can you come back soon?" CEO Victor doubts.
Zhuke waved his hand and said with a smile, "what won't you come for? After all, "Tomb Raider" is still in the preparation period. It's estimated that the shooting will wait until 67. Now it's not urgent. But... Paramount's service attitude is so good that I can't bear to come back. "
"I know." Victor laughed, too.
As the producer of the Tomb Raider project, Zucker cooperated with Paramount Pictures, which is not a big news.
Prior to the interview between Zhuke and leishidong, it has caused a sensation and attention, and has been reported by various multi-media newspapers across the United States. At present, Zhuke has been confirmed as the producer of Tomb Raider, and the media will not miss it.
In recent days, there have been a lot of news reports about Zhuke.
A few days later.
There's someone from paramount.
"Mr. Wald, this is our revised script. You can go over it again. If there is any problem, we will revise it in time." Executive producer Tom Harris said respectfully.
take a look!
Look at the attitude!
Disney is far worse than that~
Zhuke said with a smile, "Tom, you sit down first. I'll see the revised script."
As a matter of fact, the so-called Tomb Raider is the tomb raiding of the great Chinese dynasty, but it's all labeled with the word "adventure". It has to be said that Lao Mei is really shameless in changing the concept.
The most typical is Hollywood's modern war movie!
Hollywood is very clever to blame all the killing on the clash of civilizations, not the people who started the war. Can invade other countries, flaunt oneself is just side... Such bandit logic, also only old America can achieve.
The same is true of Tomb Raider movies.
It's clearly a tomb raiding movie, but because the producer set a background for the heroine Laura to go to the tomb raiding "for her father's wishes", it makes everything magnificent.
"Digging graves and erecting memorial archways are so clever!" Zucker smacked.
In terms of the script, Zhuke was quite satisfied.
After all, "Tomb Raider" is a movie that Zhu Ke had seen many times before he passed through. His memory can be said to be everlasting.
Chuck put down the script and asked, "have you considered the director?"
"Yes!" Tom Harris solemnly said, "Stephen Sommers, we think he is the most suitable person."
Stephen Sommers, a famous Hollywood director, wrote the Mummy series.
"He's not fit." Zucker blurted out.
"Eh?" Tom was surprised.
"I admit that Stephen Sommers is a very good director, but don't forget that our Tomb Raider is a fantasy action movie. How bad Stephen Sommers is in action movies, you don't know. Just watch the action scenes in mummy."
In 2002, Stephen Sommers directed the film "van Helsing", with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale as the leading actors and actresses. The investment in the film amounted to $160 million.
However... This ambitious work, but ended in a box office fiasco!
Universal Pictures, the producer, lost blood and had the heart to kill the director.
The action scenes in the movie fan Haixin are criticized by countless screens.
How can Zucker agree to let Stephen Sommers be the director of Tomb Raider?
"Mr. Wald, who do you suggest as the director?"
Tom Harris's proposal was refuted, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Zhuke with grateful eyes, and his words were extremely respectful.
Gee, this attitude is very helpful to Zhuke.
Paramount is too good at being a man. Where can I find such talents?
"Simon West!"
Said Zucker.
Simon West is a new director in Hollywood.
In 1997, he directed his first film "air prison", which created a global box office of $220 million at one stroke, making a lot of money for Disney group.
Tomb Raider, death squads 2, mechanics
And so on, movies are all his masterpieces.
He is a director who is very good at creating a tough guy on the screen. The action scenes under his camera are bursting with hormones again and again.
When he proposed the new director, Zucker thought he had to work hard to persuade Tom Harris and Paramount Pictures. Who knows... They agreed with him in just two days.
In Jordan's words, "we trust you, Zhuk, in your profession."
Look!
Look hard!
This cooperation with paramount makes Zhuke feel more happy. Even when his own Wald films were making films, Zucker didn't feel so smooth.
The second watch is on.
