Sex: Male
Date of birth: October 31, 1961
Corner color: screenwriter, director and actor
Born in Wellington, New Zealand, his childhood was in Pukerua Bay (north of Wellington). When he was a child, he had a rich imagination and was often obsessed with horror and fantasy. At the age of eight, he got a camera from his parents on Christmas Day in 1969. With the help of some friends in school, I started shooting my own "movies". After dropping out of school at the age of 17, he fell in love with magical ghosts again and became obsessed with the classic magical novel The Lord of the Rings. Soon, Jackson found a job in a local newspaper, and the salary he received enabled him to buy his own 16MM camera and continue his movie dream.
Peter Jackson and Frances Walsh got married in 1987 and have two children: Billy and Katie. Walsh began to create literature after graduating from Victoria University. She has worked with Jackson in films such as Dealing with the Weak, Crowds of corpses Crossing the Boundary, Sinful Angels, frighteners, Forgotten Films and so on, covering almost all the films directed by Jackson, and she is his loyal partner. She was also nominated for the best original screenplay at the 67th Academy Award in 1995 with Jackson for "Sin Angel".
Peter Jackson was born in Wellington, New Zealand in October, 1961. Since he was five or six years old, he has been a loyal TV fan. At the age of eight, due to the influence of the monster film King Kong, he became fascinated with film special effects. At that time, his ideal was to be an excellent special effects artist.
In p>1978, Peter Jackson left school and jumped into the film industry. He applied to the most famous FilmVnit film company in New Zealand, but he was not accepted. He went to a newspaper in Wellington to develop photos for seven years.
In these seven years, Peter Jackson didn't waste any money, but spent it on making movies. In 1987, Peter Jackson produced his first feature film Bad Taste. The geek is a science fiction film, which tells the strange things that happened in a seaside town. One day, all the residents of this small town disappeared. It turned out that a group of alien thugs came here to solve the shortage of materials in their fast food restaurants-the human flesh in hamburgers was gone. In the later stage of the production of The Wonder of the Universe, due to the shortage of funds, Peter Jackson had no choice but to show the semi-finished products to the leaders of the National Film Bureau of New Zealand. Peter Jackson's film skills were completely self-taught by watching a lot of films without any formal college training. Unexpectedly, the leaders of the film bureau liked him very much and paid for his post-production. He also sent The Strange Universe to the Cannes Film Festival in 1988.
The Strange Man of the Universe made Peter Jackson the most famous independent director in New Zealand. In 1989, Peter raised some money to film Meet The Feebles. This is a movie in which a real person cooperates with a puppet, telling the story of a female hippo star and an animal actor. The audience's evaluation of this film is: a funny film that is almost hysterical.
"Dealing with the Weak" was a good box office, which gave Peter Jackson the capital for revenge. When FilmVnit Film Company collapsed and went bankrupt, Peter bought it and gave a bad breath (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was edited in this company).
In p>1992, the classic "Braindead" in the mind of horror movie fans was born, and Peter Jackson had a good time in this film.
In p>1994, Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Although the film is a realistic film based on a real case, Peter Jackson still refuses to waste his fantasy talent, and uses a lot of hand-held photography and location to correspond to the fantasy world of the hero.
In p>1997, Peter Jackson filmed The Frighteners for Hollywood. In this film, while taking the American's $3 million, Peter satirizes the Americans: the reason why the killer in the film will turn into a spectre and continue to kill after death is because he wants to break the killing record kept by the Russians.
Peter Jackson is a book fan of Tolkien. Naturally, he wanted to put The Lord of the Rings on the screen. He first found Milla Max, but the director didn't agree to make three films. They were only willing to pay for two. Peter Jackson was busy with the money provided by Max Milla for 18 months' pre-production, but at this moment the company proposed to shoot only one film. Peter Jackson couldn't accept this, so Milla Max decided to let John Maiden (director of Shakespeare's Love Story) take over.
Peter Jackson protested Milla Max's actions while looking for investment companies to return their money. He made a 25-minute short film with his existing resources (with Milla Max's money). This time, it was bad luck. After listening to his idea, most Hollywood companies didn't even give a chance to show short films. Finally, Peter Jackson found the new line company.
Bob scheil, the boss of New Line, has long liked Peter Jackson's films and expressed strong cooperation intention to Peter. Peter Jackson pretended that many companies wanted to cooperate with him, and it took him a week to let the top executives of the new line watch the short film. After watching the short film, Bob scheil said, "There is no problem in cooperation, but I don't understand. Isn't the original three books? Why only shoot two episodes? Isn't three episodes better? "
In this way, Peter got this precious opportunity.
After the trilogy was finished, although Peter Jackson made many mistakes that conflicted with the original, he won the love of 99% of the ring fans, and thus won the admiration of countless fans around the world.
In p>25, he made a remake of King Kong, which influenced his movie career, and it also caused great applause.
