Hollywood Starts with Animation

"To be honest, ITV's bid of £20 million was completely beyond our imagination."

After the signing ceremony, Zucker returned to the hotel and told Martha, still full of shock!

20 million pounds!

Although this price is not worth mentioning compared to the later authorizations of "The Voice" and "American Idol" in the UK, there is a premise that the high price will only be available after the program is broadcast. of. Today's Wald Pictures has no experience in the production of variety shows; secondly, it has not completed the broadcast.

Under this major premise, ITV can offer a high price of 20 million pounds, which shows its courage.

Sister Martha said solemnly: "Boss, no wonder ITV is called the second largest TV station in the UK and the largest private TV station. They are indeed very capable."

"Well, that's right."

Zucker also agrees.

In fact, Zu Ke thought to himself: "Fuck! The "Talent Show" in the original time and space was produced and broadcast by ITV in the UK. I didn't expect it to come back to them after a circle, but Laozi, the middleman, earns £20 million."

ITV does have a great influence in the UK!

Whether it is "Mr Bean" in the past, or "Downton Abbey" in the future, they are all produced and broadcasted.

It is the BBC's biggest competitor, and its every move involves and attracts attention from all parties.

No, it didn't take long for the signing ceremony to end. When the copyright of "Talent Show" was concerned, there was a lot of buzz in the British Isles.

......

University College London.

Christopher Nolan, who was resting in the dormitory at the moment, was also shocked by the "Evening News" report in his hand.

"Brother, is the Wald Pictures mentioned in the report the company of Mr. Zucker Wald?" Jonathan Nolan, the younger brother, exclaimed.

Although Christopher Nolan was in shock, he nodded heavily.

"Wow~!"

"Mr. Wald, that's amazing!"

"It's shocking that the rights to just one variety show, and only the rights in the UK and Australia, have sold for £20 million!"

"If this money is used to make a movie, it can definitely make a medium-cost movie!"

Brother Jonathan chattered excitedly.

......

BBC Broadcasting Corporation.

Bang~!

Klaus Tang, the head of the variety show operation department, was furious at the moment and slammed the table: "Damn Wald, damn Cindy, they actually gave the "Got Talent" that should belong to us to Brought to ITV!"

After a pause, he looked at Dacorta and scolded again: "You idiot. Didn't you say that after handing it over to you, you could complete the acquisition of the copyright? But what about now?"

Dacorta was very depressed.

He had no idea that the fat that was about to reach his mouth would disappear.

The most important thing is that the person who stole "The Talent Show" is still the BBC's biggest competitor, and the person who shot it is Cindy, who has a long-standing resentment with him.

Adding the two together, Dacorta was even more resentful.

"Wald Pictures, you wait for me, I must make you look good. Don't think I don't know people in Hollywood~!"

......

When the report of "Evening News" came out, it shocked the major media in the UK, and when the next morning came, the storm swept the people.

"Daily Telegraph" said: "ITV is making a big hit and joining hands with Hollywood companies to create the latest and strongest variety show."

"Daily Mail" said: "20 million pounds of astronomical copyright deal,

Let's look forward to the broadcast of "The Talent Show". "

"The Guardian" said: "ITV is worthy of being the largest private TV station in the UK, and its courage to fight and fight is one of the symbols of the new era."

"London Morning Standard": "Wald Pictures? It's not a completely unknown company. The copyright of Teletubbies, which was broadcast on the BBC earlier and caused a sensation, comes from this company."

Strictly speaking, the above reports are still positive, and they are relatively pertinent and neutral reports.

However, some newspapers are very sensational.

"The Sun" said: "The sky-high copyright deal?! It's just a gimmick."

"The Daily Express" said: "ITV has become a laughing stock! Their stupidity will make the whole ITV mired in the mire."

"Daily Mirror" said: "The Talent Show, a low-level show that attracts attention, must be reduced to a ridiculous clown because of the arrogance of ITV and Wald Pictures. Their ending can only be failure! "

The reports of major newspapers and magazines, whether positive, neutral or negative, are weaker than the reactions of the people in the British Isles.

"Oh? You ask me what I think of ITV's sky-high copyright deal?"

"How can you see it?"

"Of course I'll watch it after it airs, aren't you stupid?!"

The reporter in charge of the street interview was dumbfounded by the words of a young man facing the interview camera.

The reporter had a smile on his face, MMP in his heart.

What the hell!

Lao Tzu has said it so clearly inside and out, but you are so lucky to answer it and watch it on air.

You illiterate~!

Well, don't look at the United Kingdom and the United States as developed countries, the popularity of education among the people is very high, and there are many high-level intellectuals, but they are more illiterate and a bunch of rough people.

"Are you asking me about "The Talent Show"?"

"Of course, I saw the ITV report last night!"

"What? You say ITV is stupid?"

"Man, are you crazy!"

"What a great program idea for "The Talent Show"! It is a stage for selecting folk talents, of course I want to participate. I believe I will be the champion~!"

A young and beautiful girl, facing the reporters interviewing, kept talking about her future after participating in the talent show, which made the reporters who wanted to leave for a long time become even more overwhelmed.

............

During his stay in the UK, after signing the contract, Zucker took the initiative to call the Nolan brothers and invite them to dinner.

Zucker's action can be drawn, so that the excited Nolan brothers can't wait to fly to Hollywood immediately and start their life for Zucker.

After the UK was over, Zucker and others returned to Los Angeles again.

"By the way, how much box office does our "Fruit Hard Candy" have now?"

The first time he saw Victor, Zucker asked about the box office of Hard Candy. Yes, although the cost of hard candy is very small, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning compared to what Zucker made this trip to London, but the truth is not like this.

More money and less money, it's just secondary.

From the time he crossed over, Zucker understood that the film company was his foundation, an industry he was more familiar with, not to mention his love.

Can't lose it at all!

I don't want to throw it away either!

"Boss, Hard Candy has been released for 10 days, and the box office has reached 3.1 million US dollars. It is estimated that the final box office will be around 5 million US dollars." Victor replied.

Zucker nodded and said, "No matter what the final box office hit of Hard Candy, you have to win me over as a director, Zach Snyder, and we will count on him to make good movies in the future. already."

"Yes, I think so too." Victor agreed.

A "Fruit Hard Candy" really doesn't make much money, but it can attract a future super director. No matter how you look at it, it will make a lot of money!

" "The first more is sent.
