"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Wald!"
Zac Braff, the director and No.1 actor of love for New Jersey, expressed his deep gratitude as soon as he saw him.
"Zach, I'll see you again. You're more energetic than before. That's good." Juke nodded slightly.
Zach Braff was even more excited.
"Although I have expressed my thanks to you more than once, at this moment, I still want to say thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Zach Braff gave Zucker a deep bow.
In early 2001, Zhuke went to New York to inspect the development of Jin Shuguang publishing company. At that time, Zhuke was surrounded by a group of security personnel. As soon as he walked out of the door of Jin Shuguang publishing company, a tall young man ran straight at Zhuke.
However, he was stopped by the security personnel beside him.
"Mr. ward, my name is Zach Braff, a screenwriter and director. This is my screenplay. Please correct it. Thank you very much. Please give me a chance ~ "
Although the young man was stopped by the security personnel, he still asked loudly.
He has been waiting for a long time in order to block the opportunity of Zhuke
In the end, Zhuke, who is good at helping new people, gave him this opportunity.
Today, nearly a year has passed
Zucker patted Zach Braff on the shoulder: "the chance is for you. Now it's time to test you. If the film" love for New Jersey "can't satisfy me, Kevin, Victor and others, then... Well, you know, it's hard for you to get a second chance."
"Please rest assured that I will not satisfy you all!"
Braff loudly assured me that the whole person was full of confidence.
......
"How do you do, Mr. Wald?"
A soft voice came into Zhuke's ear.
She is Natalie Portman, the heroine of love for New Jersey.
Zucker shook hands with him: "nice to meet you, Miss Portman. I've seen all the films you've been in, such as" this killer is not too cold "and" Star Wars prequel ". I have to say that you have made a deep impression on me. "
The voice just dropped.
"Really?"
At this moment, Natalie Portman looked at Zhuke in disbelief and said in surprise: "I can't believe that you can make a good person remember me. I feel very honored! "
"It's true, of course."
He said without hesitation.
Natalie Portman said: "compared with your achievements in wealth, I especially admire your achievements in the film industry. I like your first film" Lola Run ", later" tuner "and" pop drummer "
"What's more, the fatal bend, the sixth sense, the 300 warriors of Sparta, Juno, and the fruit candy
"I've seen all of them."
"I think your talent in film is extremely rare!"
Praise!
See flattery again!
I don't know how many times I've heard such words.
However, when a well-known and beautiful actress praises you and flatters you face to face, and speaks up to you like a family treasure, I believe no one will feel tired.
"It's too much." Juke started laughing.
But!
That's not what Zhuk thought.
"She really deserves to have come out of Harvard University and majored in psychology."
"Just because she can tell me the movies I directed, wrote and participated in, it is enough to show that she has done a lot of preparatory work."
"The most important thing is... She speaks very well!"
Zhuke was always on guard.
In Hollywood, there are some female stars who can attract a large number of people by waving their hands, and these people are also very willing to climb the soft collapse of Zhuke;
However, some actresses are very troublesome!
Once you get into trouble, they will stick to you like a dog skin plaster. Even if Zhuke as a media tycoon, can suppress these negative news, but Zhuke also does not want to be entangled in these troubles.
"There's no doubt that Natalie Portman is such a actress."
As a passer-by, Zhuke knows her character very well.
In 2009, Natalie Portman got involved in director Darren arenovsky's marriage and became a third party in order to win the leading role in black swan.
There was a lot of negative news.
Director Darren arenovsky, for a time, also had a bad reputation.
"I don't want to be someone else's after dinner." There's a secret in Zhuk's heart.
......
Not long.
The movie "back in New Jersey" was officially released.
Executives such as Zucker, Victor and Kevin Fitch began to concentrate.
The film tells the story of the protagonist Andrew (Zac Braff) working alone in Los Angeles for nine years. He volunteered to become an actor, but he is still unknown today. He usually lives by working in a restaurant.
A phone call will take Andrew back to his old home in New Jersey.
For many years, for some reasons, he seldom contacted his family and took antidepressants all the year round, which made him indifferent to everything around him, even if his paralyzed mother died unexpectedly. Until I get to know the beautiful but neurotic girl Saman (Natalie Portman), the desperate life like stagnant water has changed.
It's a niche movie;
A literary film suitable for Wen Qing;
"The minority theme is Wenqing film, which is doomed in the theme. It is difficult for it to achieve explosive box office results."
In the process of watching the film, CEO Victor whispered to Zhuke.
Zhuke nodded: "the production cost is only 2.5 million dollars. Do you expect it to be a special effect blockbuster?"
"That's right."
"It's very difficult for low-cost movies to make huge profits at the box office. Of course, horror movies occasionally give off amazing energy," said Kevin Fitch
Obviously!
No matter Kevin Fitch, Victor, or even every executive of Wald pictures, they don't think the movie "love for New Jersey" can make a big box office success.
But... Zhuke narrowed his eyes.
The film can be said to be the beginning of Hollywood Wenqing film in the 21st century. It has the elements of similar films in the future, such as the awkward interaction between men and women, the extensive use of independent band songs as soundtracks, and a ray of sunshine in the gloomy atmosphere
Later, you can find the shadow of love to New Jersey in a number of literary, youth and minority films, such as "heartthrob", "city of love", "Manchester by the sea" by Lee, and "midnight Paris" by Rachel Mcadams.
At the same time, its box office performance is shocking!
The production cost is only 2.5 million US dollars. After its release in 2004, the box office of the United States alone has achieved more than 35 million US dollars.
Rare small cost high box office movie!
It can be said that the film raises the ceiling of Wenqing's film by a large margin!
The movie is over.
With a big wave of his hand, Zucker said, "Kevin, please arrange the movie as soon as possible."
"No problem, boss."
Kevin Fitch laughs: "in the first half of this year, the company has confirmed that there are only two films to be shown, namely" love for New Jersey "and" electric saw "directed by Wen
The voice fell.
Zhuke was very satisfied.
The director Zac Braff and actress Natalie Portman are more satisfied.
Of course, they hope that the film can be released as soon as possible, and they hope to get a good box office result.
The crowd broke up
"Kevin, the publicity cost of love for New Jersey can be increased to $4 million."
Said Zucker.
"Eh?"
Kevin Fitch was surprised and said, "boss, are you optimistic about its box office performance?"
"Sure," Chuck blurted out. I think it's going to be a brilliant achievement for us. "
The second watch is on.
Thank you for your reward.
