California has always been famous for its sunshine. When the warm sunshine shines on the balcony, the whole city comes alive.

There are already many people on the Venice Beach not far away, and there are many people playing skateboarding, art graffiti jogging.

A brand new day started with a cup of American black coffee, but he could no longer drink it after taking a sip. The refreshing effect was absolutely!

"I really don't know how these sweet-loving Americans are used to it. I still like lattes."

After taking a shower, Zhang Chu changed his clothes and waited for Blair to arrive on the balcony. If he couldn't come at 8:40, he would have to go down and take a taxi.

Who knows if that guy would have an affair yesterday and was squeezed out by Hollywood girls. If he can't get up, he can only rely on himself.

The golden sunshine, the golden beach, and the girl who was wearing bikini early to play volleyball, occasionally a few seagulls flew by, and the picture was very enjoyable.

"Dingdong"

The doorbell rang, and Zhang Chu had to take back his eyes that admired his beautiful body.

When he opened the door, he saw Blair dressed up with his hair neatly, like someone going on a blind date.

"You didn't go out to roam yesterday?"

"Of course not, am I that kind of person? Have you packed up? We're going to set off soon. It's the first time I went to Universal Pictures to check it out, and I'm quite excited."

Zhang Chu joked: "Just give up. No matter how well you dress, you won't let the scout discover you, nor will you let Universal Pictures find you to make a movie."

The two of them came to the parking area while talking and laughing. The hotel doorman came here to help open the door. The service was very thoughtful.

"This week's New York Times bestseller rankings are coming out again, and you have another week of championships!"

"It's pretty good, this is really pretty good." Zhang Chu didn't look redundant at all. He had been crowned for so many weeks, and one more was just the icing on the cake. It's not worth jumping up to celebrate.

"The Lord of the Rings" itself should be at this level of sales. If books like "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" win the championship on the New York Times bestseller rankings, it would surprise Zhang Chu very much.

As one of the largest film companies in the United States, Universal Pictures has achieved gratifying results in recent years, second only to the terrifyingly dying baby.

The studio and office are located at 100 Universal Plaza Avenue in Universal City, California. Universal City and Universal Studios are different things.

Universal City is a studio and venue for shooting outdoor scenes established by the founder in 1914, while Universal Studios is an amusement park that reproduces the theme of the movie.

On the wall are posters of Universal Pictures' annual movie productions. In the past decade, some early movies are not even aware of.

The historical heritage can be seen from these places. It is not a nouveau riche, but a Hollywood wealthy family that has experienced ups and downs!

Chris stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chu, jokingly said, "What do you think of our office area?"

"It looks pretty good, there are a lot of videos inside that have not been watched."

"Then you can make up for your homework in the future. These works are very good." As the producer, Chris is now in pain and happiness. Although there are not many female characters in "The Lord of the Rings", there are still actresses who recommend themselves to the pillow.

However, the rice rabbit movement is still expanding. He dared to commit crimes after taking advantage of the courage of the bear heart and leopard. Now his career is developing just right and cannot be ruined by women.

After Zhang Chu came to Chris' office, he asked: "I heard that the whole Hollywood knows our project. Do you have any opinions on the location?"

"Outside scenes, there are special location directors trying to film the scenes around the world. We probably will choose places like Iceland, Britain, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Do you want us to film in China? China is beautiful, maybe we can consider it."

As if he was talking about stand-up comedy, Chris couldn't stop at all.

"No, didn't I travel in New Zealand before? The natural scenery there is great, almost the same picture as I imagined when I wrote a book." Zhang Chu began to fool him shamelessly, and he would tell the place first.

After saying that, he took out his phone and found the scene he had taken at the Alexander Family Ranch. "Look at the one I took, the green mountains and clear waters, there is no modern architecture or modern technology, it looks exactly like Hobbiton. Just plant wheat and dig caves, it will be a real paradise!"

"You know, the focus of choosing an outdoor location depends on the director. As producers, we only need to measure all aspects of conditions. If the director thinks it doesn't work, then it definitely won't work."

Chris still attaches great importance to the opinions of the original author Zhang Chu and keeps this idea in his heart.

"That's what I suggest. Whether to adopt it depends on the final result. How many directors are here today?"

"There are only three people left. They are a little hesitant at the moment. They have been preparing for almost half a month and will talk to us about how to shoot and what kind of movies they plan to shoot. This is the director's list."

Now is the time to talk about war on paper. If you can’t even talk about this, you can hardly expect any amazing performance in actual shooting.

Zhang Chu took the list and found that they were all familiar names!

"Zach Schneider's style is quite unique, he is good at shooting action movies, and he performed very well in "300 Warriors". This epic movie coincides with what we want on some level. But the problem is that the tones of his works are too dark, like deep oil paintings, which is far from "The Lord of the Rings". Have you seen his film works?"

Chris was worried that Zhang Chu would not recognize him, so he spoke out and analyzed that Zach's advantages and disadvantages were the same as those of him.

Another director is Alfonso Caron, one of the three Mexican masters, who is the best director of the Oscar. He filmed "The Prisoner of Harry Potter and Azkaban", and has a good control over high-cost magic movies.

If you don’t find a reliable director for a film project with an investment cost of nearly $500 million, I’m afraid that people from Universal Pictures will not sleep well.

"The last one is Ridley Scott. Scott is a very excellent director. He has a very good reputation for most movies and rarely misses the box office of the film. He is a director who focuses on the balance of business and art. His works are composed of visual effects. Perhaps he is not among the most successful directors in Hollywood, but he has indeed peaked his career several times. The problem is that his works are not stable, and he is relatively old, so it is difficult to guarantee his creative energy!"

Chris and the others wanted to find Cameron, but they couldn't afford Kass' efficiency, ability to spend money and dividends. Maybe one movie could cost 500 million, and there was no need for three movies.

Zhang Chu was not surprised at all when he saw that the fat man Peter Jackson was not named in the list of these three people, because there was no such existence in the world now.

Before, he searched specifically when he was about to write "The Lord of the Rings", otherwise he would have recommended Peter the Great with all his strength, so how could he have so urgent screening!

The last three directors left by Universal are all Hollywood leaders, each with many fans. Although they are not as good as the top god, they are definitely powerful people.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is very difficult to choose!

In the afternoon, the author Jun really walked away at the gate of hell. After buying electrical appliances, he went to the gym to exercise. After exercising for more than an hour, he was a little hungry, so he planned to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits to go home to cook.

As a result, when I was shopping in the supermarket, I felt low blood sugar. My eyes turned dark and I sat down slanted, which scared the elder sister who was buying vegetables next to me. Fortunately, I was still aware of asking my elder sister for something to eat. I grabbed a handful of raw peanuts nearby and alarmed the supermarket security guards.
