"boss!"

"Mr. Wald!"

"Chairman!"

......

All kinds of names are labels on Zu Ke. Zu Ke, who just entered the water world animation, was warmly welcomed by all the staff.

"Boss, you are welcome. Believe me, the animated movie "Flying House" will not disappoint you."

Stephen Solenberg, CEO of Waterworld Animation, gave Zucker a big hug.

Zuke pushed him away with a look of disgust: "My dear, you are in your forties, and you rushed over when you saw me. You made me do evil too much."

Stephen Solenberg responded indifferently: "Zuck, hugs have nothing to do with age."

The two have a good relationship and often joke with each other.

Sometimes, Stephen also hurt Zucker in person.

David Messer, the chief screenwriter and vice president, joined in: "I wanted to hug too, but the boss is right, you are not a beautiful woman, but a man with high hormones."

After some jokes, everyone got to the point.

Zhu Ke came to the Water World Animation Company today, not just for nonsense.

At the end of 1999, the animated film "Flying House Global Story" was completely completed a week ago.

Well, the kind that can be shown at any time.

"Oh? You mean, you have already obtained the release license and the classification of the Film Association." Zu Ke was a little surprised.

Stephen Solenberg nodded and said, "The rating given by the Motion Picture Association is G."

The G-level under the North American film rating system is the public level, which can be watched by people of all ages without age restrictions.

Solenberger smiled and said, "Boss, do you think the grading by the Film Association went well this time?"

"That's right!"

Zucker nodded.

The Motion Picture Association of America holds the grading rights under the grading system.

G class (popular class), PG class, PG-13 class, R class, NC-17 class...

The issue of viewing age groups and viewing scales is clearly defined.

In the first half of 2001, Wald Pictures suffered varying degrees of suppression and exclusion from its peers, including the classification of the Film Association.

The films produced by Wald Pictures in the first half of the year, such as "Shark Beach" and "District 9", were targeted more than once when they submitted the film grading procedures.

"Colombia, Warner, Universal, Disney, Fox, Paramount, and MGM, these seven studios hold the rights to all North American movie ratings, and even though I have a good relationship with Fox and Paramount, our Movies are still subject to discrimination and suppression. Therefore, I am very surprised to hear that the rating of "Flying House Globe" is so smooth."

Zucker expressed his doubts.

What?

You said that "Flying Home" is just a simple animated film that does not involve blood and violence, and there is no reason for the Film Association to be stuck.

Hehe, think too much!

As long as seven studios like Columbia and Disney want to, they have a hundred ways to get your movie stuck.

Stephen Solenberg suddenly laughed: "Boss, you forgot one point, a very important point."

"What?" Zucker was very curious.

"Boss, our Water World Animation is now a listed company. Even though the parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, still holds a huge majority of equity and voting rights, the company has more than 35% of its shares, which are tradable shares."

"Many of these tradable shares are held by Wall Street investment banks and major investment institutions, and their energy is not low."

"The release of "Flying House Globe" is blocked, and their interests will naturally be affected."

After speaking, Zu Ke suddenly realized.

Zu Ke patted his forehead and laughed at himself: "I'm so busy, it seems that I've been lacking in water world animation recently.

"

As of now, Zucker is no longer fighting alone.

As far as the Water World Animation under its name is concerned, the top management and key personnel within the company are almost all shareholders, the difference is only the number of shares held. A large number of investment institutions holding shares in Water World Animation are naturally allies of Zucker.

At least in terms of interests, Zhu Kra attracted a lot of people.

At the beginning of the 21st century, nothing can be seen, but the future is an era of alliances between powerful and strong groups to keep warm.

Fighting alone will only make your path narrower and narrower!

......

"Now make sure, when will the "Flying House Globe" animation be released?"

Zucker looked around the crowd.

Zucker is very much looking forward to the upcoming animated film "Flying Home".

The film tells the story of an old man who once made an agreement with his wife to travel to a waterfall located in far South America, but was unable to make the trip because of the rush of life. When his wife died and the government wanted to demolish his old house, he made an astonishing surprise. Decide.

He tied thousands of balloons to the roof, and together with the foundation, he flew into the air, heading for South America to fulfill the promise he made to his wife years ago.

The film was released in 2009 and was created by Pixar Animation at a cost of $175 million. Once released, the word-of-mouth box office exploded.

The global box office outrageously won $735 million;

It also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

"Happiness is not about immortality, it is not about big fish and meat, and it is not about power."

"Happiness is the realization of every tiny wish in life. You have to eat when you want to eat, and someone loves you when you want to be loved."

The classic lines in the animated film "Flying the World" have made Zucker deeply felt many times.

The animated film is also an unforgettable classic among the series of works of Pixar animation.

Vice President David Messer first said: "First of all, we have to clarify the fact that Pixar's animated film "Monster Power, Inc." has been tentatively scheduled for this year's Thanksgiving schedule. Are we avoiding it, or whether A head-on challenge?"

Pixar Animation is undoubtedly the best animation company in the world today.

Zucker didn't answer directly, but asked, "What about avoidance, and what about head-on challenge?"

David Messer said solemnly: "I personally do not support the simultaneous release of "Monster Power Company", even if our "Flying House Globe" is good enough. But... I still think it can be released at the same time Release it, and compete for the top.”

"..."

The executives present could not help but be a little surprised.

CEO Solenberger: "We are releasing at the same time as Pixar's movies, and the box office is bound to be affected."

The mountain of Pixar animation is not an easy challenge!

Many executives were hesitant to talk, and they felt it was best to avoid it.

clap clap clap!

At this time, Zucker suddenly applauded.

Zucker looked at David Messer with great relief, with a smile on his face: "I support your idea!"

"..."

For a time, the executives were even more puzzled.

Solenberg said hesitantly: "Is that really going to be the case?"

"certainly!"

Zucker said without hesitation: "Our water world animation ranking is lower than Pixar animation. If we win this movie box office battle, we will definitely make a lot of money; if we lose, why not? We It's a little bit worse than Pixar."

You think I will lose, but I will never lose.

Since the rise of Pixar Animation, countless animation companies have tried to challenge its status, but the result? All fail miserably!

Even Jeffrey Katzenberg of DreamWorks, he clamored more than once: "DreamWorks will surpass Pixar and replace his industry dominance."

But what about reality?

The works of DreamWorks Animation have never dared to be released at the same time as the works of Pixar Animation!

Zu Ke waved his fist fiercely and said loudly, "No one wants to be second or third, as long as we win, we will be the first, and we will be the industry leader!"

Don't be shy, act recklessly!

One thing to know, "Flying House Globe" was originally a work of Pixar animation in the original time and space, but it was cut off, and it now belongs to Waterworld Animation.

Take the work of Pixar to the work of Pixar, Zucker thinks it is very good!

" "The first more is sent.
