Hollywood starts with animation

The street where the Hollywood Chinese Theater is located.

At this moment, it is almost two o'clock in the morning. In addition to the entertainment venues that are still full of people, there are also a few convenience stores open. Usually there are not many people on the street. But today, the SpongeBob House main store is closed. Few people.

There are nearly a hundred people.

"Wow, there really is a doll of Sheriff Hu Di!"

"This down jacket is so beautiful, with the pattern of the cowgirl Jessie printed on it."

"Buzz Lightyear is only good!"

"Look and see, there is also a full set of "Toy Story" characters limited edition for sale!"

Nearly a hundred viewers who have just watched the movie are still in a frenzy at this moment, impulsive consumption is unstoppable.Especially young Americans, who have no idea of ​​financial management at all, will of course buy something they like.

Damn it!!!

what's the situation?!

James and Sai Huang, who were still complaining just now, suddenly saw so many people pouring into the store, they were trapped at first.To say that James is quick to respond, he only listened to the heated discussion from customers, and then he reacted.

"Hi, hi, everyone, welcome to the SpongeBob House main store!"

James enthusiastically introduced: "You are not mistaken. You can find toys, dolls, keyrings, clothing, stationery, and books around the "Toy Story" movie here. Moreover, our SpongeBob Squarepants house is in the entire California area. Exclusive. If you want to buy it, you have to do it as soon as possible. If you are slow, it will be gone!"

Exclusive sales?

Fast hands, slow hands?

Fortunately, upon hearing this, a beautiful brown-haired woman under the age of 20 shouted: "I want a toy from Buzz Lightyear and a doll of Sheriff Hu Di."

"I want to buy too." Another voice sounded.

"Okay lady, Buzz Lightyear's toy is $38, and Sheriff Hudi's doll is $42. The total is $80."

James said hurriedly.

The smile on his face is very enthusiastic.

Can you not be enthusiastic?Today is the rhythm of the explosion!

"Zuke is awesome!"

"And it's really dark!"

“Buzz Lightyear’s toy cost less than US$3, so he dared to sell it for US$38; the two-meter high Hudi Sheriff’s doll cost only US$6, so it’s sold for US$42. Only this one buys one. I made $71!"

James felt that he was weak at the moment. He thought he was enough to pit him. Who knew that Zhuke was ruthless than him.

Whose peripheral products dare to sell such expensive products?

No way, who makes Zhuke the exclusive right now!

Not only the exclusive in the Los Angeles area, but also the exclusive in the entire four states!

"Sir, you want this down jacket, right? Chenghui is $288."

"Madam, the keychains, toys, and books you bought cost 120 dollars in total."

"You want Buzz Lightyear's aviation suit, right? This one is a limited edition, and the price...Ah, you can buy it no matter how much it costs, and two more sets. Okay, a total of 3780 US dollars."

James and the emperor became busy in an instant.

The enthusiasm of nearly a hundred customers in the store instantly burst the income of SpongeBob House.

The boss is awesome!

The boss is invincible and dark!

Charlize Theron couldn't help being excited.

"James, you damn bastard, hurry up and drive the prepared Chevrolet sports car to the door of the store." At this time Zhuke and Lasseter also arrived in the store, and of course Zhuke was calling.

Chevrolet sports car!

Yes, this is also a peripheral product!

Zhuke is stingy. He usually drives second-hand cars by himself, but now he has prepared a sports car around the movie in advance.

The cost price is US$80,000 and the price is US$200,000!

That's right, Zhu Ke is so crazy!

Don't think that Zhuke's asking price is too high, sometimes the old and beautiful brain-disabled people can be really hearty.Yuan Shikong, a limited edition toy of the Hornet with a cost of less than US$5, dared to sell it for US$5,000, a hundred times as much, but the damn’s were not enough.

"The monk can't touch me? It's all with a nose and two eyes. They dare to sell it so expensive, so I dare." Zhu Ke's logic is like this.

Half an hour passed.

All the customers in the store are gone.

Many of the "Toy Story" movie peripheral products in the store have been sold; even with other movie peripheral products, more than 20 pieces have been sold.Well, that Chevrolet sports car was not sold in the end.This made Zhu Ke slightly unhappy.

"Zuke, you are so awesome. The peripheral products of "Toy Story" are so popular. Tonight's turnover exceeded $16,500."

James can't hold back his excitement!

You know, this is just the midnight version of "Toy Story", and it has sold so much, so it won't be a big hit during the day tomorrow!

Zhuke earns a lot, his job can be stable, and there is a sales commission; although the commission is not high, only seventy dollars, but the accumulated amount is a lot of dollars.

"That's right, boss, you see the business is so good tonight, you have to pay me overtime." Sai Huang also shouted.

Pay overtime with me?

You think too much.

"There is no overtime pay, but there is a midnight snack. Well, you don't need to eat it." Zhu Ke curled his lips.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Sai hurriedly said: "Eat, why not eat, I want to eat you vampire."

Eat poor me, do you think too much?

"If you want to pay you overtime, it's estimated to be 60 US dollars, but you can find a cheap restaurant. You can eat at most 30 US dollars, which is not estimated. Hehe, I am really a little clever!" Zhu Ke thought, could not help. Up.

[Note the orphan host!] The system spit out crazy

Zhuke suppressed the joy in his heart and immediately told James to contact the other six SpongeBob Squarepants store stores and ask about their sales.

quickly.

Sales data of the other six stores were also passed on.

The total amount of all sales exceeds 90,000 US dollars.

"Zuke, I regret it a little bit. I guess a few days later, Jobs can't wait to tear you up."

At this moment, John Lasseter, who has always played the role of the transparent man, suddenly interjected, and he looked at Zhuke and became even more sour.

Shameless!

How could this bastard judge that "Toy Story" would explode a few months ago?Moreover, at such a low price, the surrounding authorizations of the entire four states have been won!

"Pixar Animation Studios, a big loss!"

Lasseter screamed frantically from the bottom of his heart, staring straight at Zhuke, as if to see through Zhuke.

But who is Zucker?

How could that skin be penetrated by a pair of eyes.

.......

The next day, in the morning.

"Toy Story" lived up to expectations, with a box office of 4.2 million US dollars at the midnight show, and its word-of-mouth was even greater.This also makes more and more people watching this movie during the day.

The movie is a big hit, and Zucker’s SpongeBob House is full of people.

Business is super hot!

On November 23, the box office data of the previous day came out.

The first place was "Toy Story", excluding the midnight file, and it achieved a box office score of 29.14 million US dollars.

The "Casino Wind and Cloud" released on the same date and produced and released by Universal had a box office of only 9.94 million U.S. dollars, ranking second; "007: Golden Eye", which was released a week earlier, received only 6.2 million U.S. dollars on that day, ranking No. Three; Columbia’s "President of the United States" reported that it received $5.11 million on the same day, ranking fourth, and none of the other films released at the box office exceeded $4 million.

There is no doubt that no one can beat "Toy Story" during the Thanksgiving Day in 1995.

The explosion of "Toy Story" undoubtedly shocked the entire Hollywood.

As a result, today’s Pixar Animation Studio’s phone calls have never stopped. The owners of countless movie peripheral chain stores have even made calls in person to obtain peripheral authorization.

However, they quickly became dumbfounded.

"Fuck!"

"Zuke Wald? Which bastard is this?!"

"This damn bastard, got four full state authorizations two months in advance?!"

The owners of chain stores around these movies yelled at them and felt extremely upset, especially in the four states where Zhuke had been authorized.

They were upset, and they still bite the bullet and call Zhuke.
