Hollywood Starts with Animation

It wasn't because of Zucker that he invited Bill McNick, an old guy, to be president of Wald Pictures. However, as early as a few days ago, Zucker made up his mind to find a qualified and excellent president for Wald Pictures to get an overview of the overall situation of Wald Pictures.

Victor is now the CEO of the parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.

As an important subsidiary of Wald Pictures, the current vice president Kevin Feige is still too young. At only 26 years old, he is not the powerful figure who created the Marvel superhero universe in the future.

Kevin Feige is so immature now!

He still needs time to grow!

Otherwise, in the first half of 1998, Wald Pictures only released two foreign films except for its own films, which was a lot lower than last year.

Bill McNick, it's different!

Although he was fired by 20th Century Fox, this does not mean that he is incompetent, it is the result of internal struggles and conflicts within Fox.

Otherwise, he would not have defied public opinion and unearthed such a world-renowned work as "Titanic".

On top of that, Bill McNick, an old guy with a lot of experience and deep Hollywood connections, can make up for a lot of what Wald Pictures lacks. At the same time, he is not too young. After working for a few years and retiring, Kevin Feige has also grown up and can be seamlessly connected.

"I'm such a genius!"

Zucker was amazed at his decision.

After dealing with the conflict with Bill McNick, Zhu Ke, who was at the reception scene, can be described as "the most popular courtesan". Wherever he went, he was warmly welcomed by everyone.

......

A few hours later, Zucker and Alexander returned to the hotel.

"Hey, Mr. Wald, why did you come back so early? This is not your usual style. There are many beautiful stars at the reception." Christopher Nolan teased.

This means that the two are familiar with each other now, otherwise he would not dare to ridicule Zhu Ke when he changed to a year ago.

The title of the boss of a Hollywood studio and the super-rich is still very bluffing.

"Man, I'm a gentleman and a moral model that everyone praises. I will never do anything against my will."

Zhu Ke made a righteous expression, but he was also quite depressed!

In a series of performances at the cocktail party today, Zhu Ke can be said to be in the limelight, and he has established a good character. He is a moral model that everyone praises. He can't break the character at once.

Well, even though Zucker has always been shameless!

"Okay man, it's getting late, let's rest early." Zucker said.

Christopher Nolan nodded in understanding.

Others don't know what Zucker thinks, but he does. After all, Zucker has communicated with him before.

Did Zucker really come for the short film competition?

Do not!

of course not!

Not to mention the title of the top short film competition unit in the district, even winning the Oscar and Cannes Best Director Award and the Palme d'Or, for the current Zucker, it can only play the role of icing on the cake.

get it, very good;

It doesn't matter if you can't get it.

Zucker came to the Cannes Film Festival this time, mainly to make a name for himself, and to lay a good foundation for the establishment of the global distribution channel of Wald Pictures. Even if this role is minimal, Zucker does not want to let it go.

......

May 13.

The 51st Cannes Film Festival has officially kicked off.

In order to hold this film festival, the organizing committee and the local government of Cannes have happily spent 15 million euros.

Of course, no one would do a loss-making business!

Spending 15 million euros is not just to hold a Party for these film artists,

As investors, the local government and private enterprises in Cannes, France, are interested in the world influence and economic benefits brought by the film festival.

In just 12 days, the festival is able to attract countless film professionals and tourists from all over the world.

There are at least 15,000 people involved in movies alone, and even more tourists.

The direct economic income brought by it is considerable.

By the end of the 1990s, the festival welcomed 2,000 exhibitors and held 700 screenings every day. This number has reached a new high in 2020. As many as 16,900 filmmakers from 118 countries have come to participate in the exhibition, and 985 films have organized a total of 1,426 film festivals.

Remember, exhibiting is not free!

Dude, pay for it!

Therefore, during the film festival, the registration fee alone can bring in 3.8 million to 5 million euros in revenue, not to mention the income of the theater chain; at the same time, there are more than 4,000 films that are traded in the film market, with an annual sales of up to 1 billion to 1.5 billion US dollars.

The huge benefits make all filmmakers and filmmakers flock to it!

More importantly, these sources of income can radiate to various fields.

The most notable of these is the local hotel restaurant. Not only has the number of receptions increased exponentially, but the cost has also risen by at least 30% compared to usual, and the proportion of such a large increase is still increasing year by year.

In the 55th Cannes Film Festival in 2002, the direct income of its surrounding industries was 130 million euros;

A year later, at the 56th Cannes International Film Festival, the direct income of its surrounding industries soared to 900 million euros;

Since the Cannes Film Festival in 2005, hotels in Cannes have received an average of 85,000 tourists every year;

The local Carlton Hotel-level presidential suite costs 48,000 euros a night. If you want to rent a luxury villa near the sea for a week, you must be prepared to pay 90,000 euros; at the same time, with the increase in demand, it is very difficult to increase the price. As a matter of course, even the private house of a private owner is usually several times to ten times the price in the off-season.

There is no doubt that the Cannes Film Festival is a commercial event in the name of "Cinematic Art Exchange"!

As one of the 16 works selected into the short film competition unit, "The Tuner" is scheduled to be shown on May 14, the second day after the opening of the film festival.

No one pays attention to the protagonist of the novel, but is slapped in the face?

What a joke!

As a well-known figure and a super-rich director, "The Tuner" has certainly attracted the attention of countless media reporters, filmmakers and moviegoers.

On this day, the exhibition hall was full of pits and valleys, and people were seated.

Media reporters from all over the world are arguing and ready to go.

Jill Jacobs, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Martin Scorsese, chairman of the jury of this year's film festival, and many members of the jury panel also came to the scene to show their support!

"Oh my God!"

A media reporter exclaimed: "Even the films that are shortlisted for the main competition unit don't have such a high degree of attention, right? Moreover, many jury members will not be allowed to appear in a certain film at the same time. The most important thing is , it's just a short film."

When the words fell, many of the media colleagues around couldn't help but be amused.

"Man, why did you come here?" A colleague sneered: "In this world, money is everything, and you can do whatever you want with money, otherwise why are you here?!"

As a result, the reporter was embarrassed.

After a welcome, Zucker announced that "The Tuner" officially began to play!

" "The first more is sent. Sorry for being late. I hope all book friends, Haihan, understand, thank you!
