Hollywood Starts with Animation

In the days that followed, Zucker was busy between the "300" crew and the finalization of the scripts of the four American dramas.

Logically speaking, when Zucker is at his current level, he can completely let go and let the people below be responsible. But under the premise that "Paramount is no longer a partner" at the moment, Zucker really can't be a hands-off shopkeeper.

If one is not careful, the newly established media empire of Jin Shuguang Group is very likely to collapse!

Raising a cat and dog for several years will be very emotional, not to mention a company built by yourself?

The entertainment industry built by movies and TV series is also one of Zucker's few hobbies today. How could he be willing to be deprived?

Well, Zucker will never compromise!

fighting!

fighting!

fighting!

Survival can only be won by fighting!

On this day, Zucker was absent from the live production work of the "300" crew, but was invited to participate in the preview of the "A Bug's Life" animated film held by Pixar Animation.

"Hi, old Bill!"

"Hi, Kevin!"

At the door of the preview of "A Bug's Life", Zhu Ke, who just got off the bus, saw two generals of his company.

President of Wald Pictures: Bill McNick;

Vice President: Kevin Feige;

The three greeted each other and walked into the venue together.

Of course, in the process of entering the venue, Zucker also saw John Lasseter, one of the five Pixar generals. However, due to the large number of invited guests today, Zucker did not chat with him much.

"Old Bill, Kevin, have you encountered any difficulties with your work at Wald Pictures recently?" Zucker asked after sitting down.

"Not yet," Kevin Feige responded.

Old Bill was much more cunning, and smiled at Zucker: "Boss, don't be impatient. Well, Kevin and I also know your concerns. After all, that's Paramount, one of Hollywood's six! Plus! The parent company Viacom Group, which has a market value of tens of billions of dollars behind it, should be treated with caution.”

Zucker glanced at him sullenly.

"You know what you know, don't talk shit."

The two generals under Zucker, Kevin Feige, are young people after all. Although there is no lack of momentum, they are still quite respectful in the face of Zucker.

But Bill McNick is totally different!

He is not too young this year, and he will retire after another 2-3 years. At the same time, he is also a very clear person. As the president of Wald Pictures, it is not for getting anything, but just to shine again in the rest of his life.

Therefore, in his daily communication with Zhu Ke, there is almost no distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Zucker didn't care either.

The experienced old guy can definitely play the role of a needle in the sea at some point.

"Young man, oh no!"

"Boss, you have to know that the Big Six Hollywood has never been monolithic."

"They have cooperation, but it's more of a competition. We just don't cooperate with Paramount, and it's not a never-ending feud like killing people's jobs and stealing people's wives, they won't rashly attack us. , of course, the main reason is that you are not short of money, boss!"

"The five giants of Warner, Fox, Columbia, Disney, and Universal will probably win over us, which will give us enough time to develop."

"And, it's not that we can't take the initiative!"

Old Bill made his way and analyzed it step by step. His old-fashioned words of scheming for the country really made the two young people Zucker and Kevin Feige feel at ease.

An old house where a treasure!

The ancients never lied to me!

"Old Bill, what do you mean by taking the initiative?" Zucker asked.

Kevin Feige also waited curiously for Old Bill's next statement.

Online etc....

"DreamWorks!"

Old Bill confided these three words, which surprised Zucker and Kevin.

Both of them are smart people, and they understood in an instant, and they couldn't help showing joy.

Zhu Ke nodded and said, "That's right, DreamWorks is the big enemy of the Big Six. If they block in front, our pressure will be much less."

Kevin Feige echoed: "We can also reach a series of cooperation with DreamWorks, so that they can fight against the Big Six to a greater extent and for a longer period of time, so that we can develop slowly."

Zucker, Old Bill, Kevin, the three looked at each other silently and smiled.

Old Yin ratio!

Little Fox!

Crafty sly guy!

As the saying goes: "Dead Daoist friends do not die poor Daoists."

For the survival of Jin Shuguang Group, we can only make good use of the behemoth of DreamWorks. Of course, DreamWorks is not so easy, and no one is a philanthropist. The scale of it needs to be carefully considered by Zu Ke and the senior management of the whole company.

......

The movie "A Bug's Life" is the work of Pixar Animation Studios after a three-year absence after the release of "Toy Story" in 1995.

A "Toy Story", with a production cost of 30 million US dollars, created a North American box office of 192 million US dollars and a global box office of 360 million US dollars. It was the box office champion of Hollywood movies in 1995;

And, in one fell swoop, Pixar became the most watched animation company in the world. Once Pixar Animation went public, its market value climbed to $1 billion;

Up to now, in the past three years, "Toy Story" has achieved a total revenue of 1.03 billion US dollars in the offline DVD market and video tape market, and broadcast copyrights on TV platforms.

Even if the expenses of various classes and channel providers are excluded, and the exploitation of Disney is excluded, Pixar Animation, as a production company, still achieves alarming and exciting high returns.

"A Bug's Life", as Pixar's second feature film 3D computer animation, is naturally eye-catching.

Here comes the Spielberg of DreamWorks;

Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks and the head of DreamWorks Animation, also came;

20th Century Fox, Time Warner, Sony Columbia and other giant film companies are basically the CEOs and bosses of the companies, who came in person; other companies also sent representatives to attend the preview of "A Bug's Life".

There is no doubt that the preview of "A Bug's Life" is of such a high standard that even the Oscars can't compare, because the crowd in attendance are all giants of major companies!

Oscar can't bring so many bigwigs together.

During this time~

Zucker also chatted with Murdoch, Redstone and others respectively.

"Mr. Wald, you have called Bill McNick, a deserter, into Wald Pictures under your name, which makes us Fox Pictures a little passive!" Murdoch said lightly.

Hearing this, Zu Ke shook his head immediately.

"Mr. Murdoch, Old Bill is an outdated old guy who came to me to retire. If there is anything wrong with me, as a senior, you can definitely remind me." Zucker made a respectful look.

Murdoch: "..."

Zucker's fooling words made Murdoch punch the cotton.

What the hell is doing wrong?

Are you going to correct it? !

"" has 200 chapters. It has been three months since the beginning of this book, and there is a lot of hard work in it. The Minister also thanked many book friends for their unremitting support, and I would like to say thank you.

In the end, of course, it is shameless to ask for votes, otherwise, isn't the previous "complaint" nonsense?
