Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter two hundred and one

As the owner of News Corporation and the boss of 20th Century Fox, Murdoch naturally has his own arrogance. He is naturally very upset when he asks a junior like Zucker for a soft nail.

However, everyone is a scene person, and their faces are always smiling.

"Young man, let's not talk about that. Like you said, it's over."

Murdoch glanced at the old-fashioned Redstone not far away, and said in a low voice, "I heard you had a falling out with Paramount?"

"How is that possible? We just ended our cooperation, Mr. Murdoch, you have to pay attention to your words!" Zucker denied it immediately.

A cheeky spirit can never be discarded!

Murdoch smiled: "Okay, let's just say I'm wrong. Well, you can actually consider working with me, with the great 20th Century Fox, we'll join forces and it's definitely a win-win. After all, Summer Ray Shi Dong, this old guy, may die at some point, he is 75 years old this year,"

"Thank you, I've always wanted to work with 20th Century Fox."

Zucker said without hesitation.

"Oh? That's how it's settled?!" Murdoch asked in surprise.

However.......

Zucker shook his head again.

"As Mr. Murdoch, although I am the boss of Wald Pictures and have full shares, you know, I am a very, very democratic person, an enlightened boss, and I will work with Victorians on many things. Ke Duo and others will discuss. A decision will make a lot of people in the company feel chilled and think that I am being domineering." Zhu Ke said lightly.

"......"

At this moment, Murdoch just wants to scold his mother!

What are you talking about explaining that?

Who did you agree with just now and make an excited expression?

He had been in contact with Zucker a few times and knew that Zucker was a tough guy. But looking at it now, it's not easy to be easy, it's a very cunning fox.

dong dong~!

At this moment, there was a thumping sound not far away.

Zucker and Murdoch looked up, but saw Summer Redstone knocking on a cane and staring at them with burning eyes.

"Mr. Wald, Mr. Murdoch, although I am 75 years old this year, my ears are still very good, and I will always be 18 years old. You say I am dying? Hehe, when you die, my old man will still be there. Live well." Lei Shidong said quietly.

Murdoch: "..."

Zucker: "......"

Anyone who speaks ill of people behind their backs will feel embarrassed if they are heard by the parties involved!

What's more, Zucker and Murdoch are both powerful people!

Zhu Ke looked at Lei Shidong, who was old and had sharp eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This guy is really a living fossil."

Summer Redstone, who was born in 1923, is 75 years old, but his energy is very strong, and he still controls the power of Viacom Group and Paramount Pictures.

The life of this old guy is a legend!

17 years old, entered Harvard University;

At the age of 20, he was selected to enter the U.S. military to decipher Japanese telegram codes and participated in World War II;

At the age of 24, he received a doctorate in law from Harvard University;

At the age of 31, he started a business for the first time, but at that time, Lei Shidong's business philosophy was conservative and his achievements were not great.

58 years old, experienced a fire, Redstone suffered severe burns all over his body, nearly died, and went bankrupt

63 years old, starting a second business. That year, he sold several of his movie theaters and borrowed money to buy Viacom, the parent company of a youth-led entertainment company at the time.

Aged 70, acquired Paramount.

At the age of 73, he was named the 25th richest person in the world by Forbes.

Now, at the age of 75, he still manages Viacom, one of the world's largest media and entertainment companies.

In terms of personal charm, he may not be as good as GM's Welch; in terms of creativity, he may not be as good as Disney's Eisner; in terms of adventurous spirit, he is also far from the media tycoon Murdoch...

However, his legendary life and extraordinary entrepreneurial passion far surpassed his opponents.

He has been full of energy!

Always be demanding of yourself with the requirements of 30-year-olds!

Until 2016, he died forever.

Of course, the incidents that he, his wife and children have gone to court for many times over property issues and never died have also been talked about by countless people.

"Being able to live to the age of 95 and have always been passionate, there is absolutely no regret in such a life." Zhu Ke sighed.

......

Not long after, the movie "A Bug's Life" started showing!

The 96-minute animated feature is co-directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton.

The film can be called a great movie, whether it is the control of the plot, or the shaping of the animated characters, and the supporting roles are also memorable. As a computer animation, Pixar Animation Studios has taken the genre to an astonishing level!

Every frame and every episode is full of surprises.

......

a long time.

After the screening of the movie "A Bug's Life", John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton took to the stage to thank the invited guests.

Jobs, the boss of Pixar Animation, also issued a brief thank you in person.

That's right, thanks!

This is also the Steve Jobs who has experienced strong winds and waves and life ups and downs!

He has learned to compromise!

Otherwise, according to his temperament when he was young, he would definitely make outrageous remarks and dismiss all the invited guests. Well, maybe there will be some sarcasm.

In the next time, representatives of major theaters and surrounding chain stores appeared one after another, vying to win the relevant authorization of "A Bug's Life".

Haven't you seen a "Toy Story" that made the participants rich? !

It's no wonder that these people are active, it's really because of the interests that move people's hearts!

"Everyone, regarding the theatrical release of "A Bug's Life", we will hold a negotiation meeting the day after tomorrow; regarding the licensing of peripherals, it will be held at Disney's Burbank headquarters tomorrow." The representative of Disney said loudly.

That's right, Pixar Animation doesn't have much decision-making power on many matters related to "A Bug's Life"!

In the early 1990s, Pixar Animation signed a series of unequal and extremely harsh treaties with Disney Group due to its development difficulties and lack of funds. Even the bulk of the profits from surrounding copyrights belong to the Disney Group.

"awesome!"

"Please tell Mr. Eisner that my old Billy will participate in the authorized bidding around me!"

"Yes, I also participated. I missed the last movie "Toy Story", and let the little bastard Zucker Wald get a big slaughter, and this time I can't miss anything."

Compared with the representatives of the theater chain, the owners of the surrounding chain stores from all over the United States are not so reserved and calm, and they are all red-eyed.

It's all money!

"Humph!"

Murdoch glanced at the scene and snorted: "One day, we Fox will be able to make such an animated film, which will shock the world."

"That's right." Zuke nodded at the side.

Others may doubt this sentence, but Zucker believes it.

In the future, Blue Sky Animation Studio under 20th Century Fox will produce the amazing work "Ice Age".

In fact, for the animation "Ice Age", Zucker had the idea of ​​plagiarism and snatch before. However, after investigation, it was found that the animation of "Ice Age", Blue Sky Animation had completed the final draft of the script, and was waiting for the money to make it.

Zucker had to give up!

......

A full half an hour passed before everyone left.

"Old Billy, old man, wait a minute!"

At the door of the venue, Zucker grabbed Old Billy.

Old Billy is the owner of a surrounding chain store. When Zucker was still weak, he helped himself many times. Now Zucker can't say anything to watch him jump into the pit of "A Bug's Life".

Yes, the movie "A Bug's Life" is very exciting, but the licensing of its peripheral products is a deep pit!

The kind that kills people without paying for it!

" "The first more is sent.
