Hollywood starts with animation

In the morning, 9 o'clock.

Hattamu Street (a downtown area of ​​Los Angeles).

Zhuke drove the car, under the guidance of James, driving on this street where people with lower income lived.Well, Zhuke drives a car. Of course, according to his personality, it is definitely not a good car, but an old-fashioned Ford used car for only $3,000.

"Damn James, why haven't you been there yet? Didn't you say it's very close?" Zhuke complained.

"Hey, hey, I said, buddy, it's not the distance, but your car is too broken, you don't even have air conditioning, and the weather is sultry, which makes you feel irritable. This makes you feel that the distance is far." James spread his hands.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke didn't look embarrassed.

Quite calmly.

Saving money is right.

This is a hard and simple life style!

"shut up!"

"If the Condy you found for me is unreliable or charges more than two thousand dollars, I will definitely deduct your future salary, 500 dollars a month, um, bonus."

Zhu Ke is not generous, so he will negotiate terms when he takes the opportunity.

That's right, at Zhuke's invitation, James promised to become an employee of the new movie peripheral chain store soon.

"Oh no, buddy, don't deduct money, promise me. I will definitely take care of you tonight, my dear." James hastily pretended to be flattery.

Dear?

Almost did not disgust Zhuke!

James promised to work for Zhuke, and Zhuke was not surprised at all.

He James Sean, 24 years old this year, is still a black man. He was expelled from school before he finished high school. Even though he was a little clever, he didn't want to find a good job in the United States.

What's more, James' father died early, and there is a paralyzed mother and a 9-year-old sister to raise. This is also the reason why he often absent from school in order to make money and still sells marijuana at school and was expelled from school.

You said that Zhuke offered him a job with a good salary. Can he refuse?

This is also Zhu Ke's kindness!

Not long.

Zhuke and James finally found the residence of former ace negotiator Condy.

A 150-square-meter two-story building that exudes the smell of rotten, alcohol, beer bottles and garbage on the floor.

He was a single dog, almost vomiting.

This mixed smell is like a big dung sealed for 3 months, reappearing in the world.

It is indescribable!

"Hi, James, my dear friend, I think you must have introduced me the business again, right? This handsome gentleman is not? Don't stand, please sit down, please sit down."

A middle-aged white man with a shaggy face, a wiping beard, and a greasy pajamas, greeted him warmly, and quickly swept the beer hall and nutshell garbage on the sofa to the ground.

"Nima, is it true that a real person does not show his face?" Zhu Ke thought.

Zhuke looked at the sofa after the husk was swept away, and the traces of vomit were clearly seen on it. He couldn't do it anymore!

"You don't need to sit down. I'm tired from driving. Let's talk about what we are looking for you first." Zhu Ke said in a hurry.

James on the side also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my boss matters."

Then, Zhuke and James explained the surrounding authorization of "Toy Story" and the matters of negotiation expert Max Lee, including the difficulties and requirements of negotiation.

"Uh..., that's all? Don't worry, I can handle a very small case in three days and satisfy you."

When it comes to professional matters, Kandy appears very confident.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke said half-heartedly: "Are you sure you can do it in three days?"

"Of course, I'm Conti Edwards, but I'm an expert in negotiating the ace. Max Lee is nothing. He didn't deserve to carry me shoes before. For three days, I actually don't think too much." Conti said casually.

Three days?

Too much?

Ha ha, are you afraid that you don’t know who Zhu Ke is?!

James has also learned about Zhuke's changes in the past few days, and can't help but show Condy a look of "you ask for more blessings".

"Well, I will give you two days. As long as you can handle it, I will give you 1,500 dollars."

Zhu Ke said immediately, behaving very generously.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Condy's beer was spit out immediately.He couldn't help being surprised. It was really that he had never seen someone as shameless as Zhuke.Man, I said three days, just to show my professionalism, you don’t have to go along the way.This makes me very shameless, you know?

"This, this, these two days are not bad, but... you have to add money!"

Conti was embarrassed at first, and then showed a decisive decision, which made Zhuke a little surprised.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke said generously: "Add money, yes, no problem. I'll add five hundred dollars to you!"

Puff puff!

Condy looked at Zhu Ke with an "I am generous" face, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Shameless!

I have never seen such a stingy person!

After talking for a long time, he added five hundred dollars.

I must reject you, but... if I have a job, I must reject you.

Next time I say nothing to pick up your order!

Not to mention Condy, even James on the side was also frightened by Zhuke's shamelessness.Seeing other people's career is not going well, you really want to lower the price as much as possible!

.......

Three days later.

Pixar Animation Studios.

Zhuke finally met Jobs, because today is the day to sign the contract and he needs to be signed by the big boss.

"Mr. Wald, you are too...too surprising to me, where did you find such a negotiator?"

Jobs and Zhuke shook hands. He wanted to say that you were too shameless, but he didn't say anything.

Too shameless?!

John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and other Pixar people nodded quickly.

"These three are too shameless."

"Well, by the way, his name is Condy, his voice is so loud, like a savage."

"More than a savage?"

"Did you not see him at the negotiating table and almost made hands with Max Lee?"

"And that James Sean, who always smiles and doesn't talk nonsense, but can always come up with a lot of data, it's just killing people, smiling!"

"The shameless one is Zhuke, Zhuke Wald."

"Yes, he didn't say anything else, just said that there is not so much money, not so much money, not so much money."

"After two days, I have been chanting hundreds of times, and I am almost stunned by the chanting."

Pixar animated the crowd, and the reaction was bad.

In fact, these are nothing. The worst thing is Max Lee, the negotiator of Dabel Company. He is facing Condy, and his whole person is almost autistic.

"Damn, damn, he is a savage, and I will never see him again."

The contract is finally signed.

The general content is as follows:

Zhuke did not win the licenses surrounding the "Toy Story" movie in six states, but he also won four states in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.

2. The authorization fee is 800,000 US dollars, paid in one lump sum, and the authorization time is up to 12 years.

3. The follow-up series of "Toy Story", including Pixar Animation Studios, will have priority cooperation rights for peripheral authorization of all animated films created by Pixar Animation Studios in the next five years.

That's right, including all its 3D animated films in the next five years.

This is Zhu Ke's favorite.

Peripheral authorizations such as "Toy Story", "Insect Crisis", "Monster Electric Company", "Cars", etc., are enough to ensure that Zhu Ke's store will make money in the future.

"Hahaha, US$800,000 is really profitable. Not to mention that after 2000, "Toy Story" was released a few months later. With its hot trend, the US$800,000 is just like a shit."

Zhuke is so happy.

It can be expected that everyone at Pixar will regret in the future.

In a few months, it is estimated that the peripheral authorization fee in Los Angeles alone will exceed half a million U.S. dollars, and the entire California state will properly exceed 1.2 million U.S. dollars.

A few days later.

As Zhuke started hiring, he started thinking about writing a few scripts.

"Fatal Bend", "Chain Saw", and "Blair Witch" are all low-cost and high-box office. Zhuke chose to have a headache.

On this day, during the recruitment process, Zhuke encountered an unexpected interviewer, her name is Charlize Theron.
