Hollywood starts with animation

"Invitation card?"

"And it's Disney's year-end reception invitation this year?"

Sitting in the company's office, Zhu Ke looked at the golden invitation letter in his hand and couldn't help but question Victor.

"Boss, we received the invitation letter this morning. After all, it is Disney, one of the top six in Hollywood, so I immediately contacted you." Victor said.

Zhuke nodded and said, "Disney doesn't seem to have any contact with us, how could they contact us? And as far as I know, even the people invited to their year-end reception should be Hollywood celebrities, including How can some people who have worked with them for a long time invite us?"

Zhu Ke's invitation to Disney cannot be taken carelessly.

That's the top six in Hollywood!

"Boss, this is actually an accident." Victor said.

accident?

Is this unexpected?

Victor continued: "Boss, I was surprised at first, but after I received a call, I understood. The person who called me was my immediate boss when I was in Hollywood, William Bart. Ente. He is now working in the animation department of Disney, and he just issued the invitation letter when he learned that I was the CEO of Wald Pictures."

When the words fell, Zhu Ke understood.

I think too much about feelings!

Where is Disney Wald Pictures, which is worthy of Zucker?

The reason they issued the invitation letter was nothing more than William Barnte.He is Victor's old leader, and the relationship between the two is quite good. The act of the invitation is to support Victor and expand Victor's network.

Victor asked aloud: "Boss, shall we go to participate?"

"Go, of course to go!"

Zhu Ke said without hesitation: "Of course we can't miss this good opportunity to broaden our contacts."

Attending Disney’s year-end cocktail party, you are bound to meet many Hollywood bigwigs, including famous directors, producers, actors and other famous people in the industry.

Wald Pictures is very small now, but Zhu Ke is confident that he can develop the company very well.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhuke will inevitably attend similar receptions in the future.Nowadays, Wald Pictures can only shoot some low-cost movies, but with the continuous growth of Zhuke Capital, it will definitely shoot some high-cost blockbusters. By then, it will inevitably be with famous Hollywood actors, directors and other characters. Only through cooperation can we make the most of dollars.

Right now, Disney’s cocktail party is a good opportunity for contact!

Three days later.

6 o'clock in the evening.

There is still less than an hour before the reception officially begins.

However, Zhuke and Victor came to the scene early.Well, the venue was in a five-star hotel in Burbank.

Zhuke and Victor came with the purpose of expanding their contacts, and many people have the same purpose.

Therefore, although it is still early, many people have already arrived in the reception venue, a hundred people.

"Hi Victor, my old friend~!"

As soon as he entered the venue, there was an old man in his 50s who stepped forward and gave Victor a warm embrace.

The person here is Victor's old leader in Hollywood!

Now serves as a manager of Disney's animation department-William Barnte.

William Barnte said excitedly: "Victor, I said a long time ago, you belong to Hollywood, and now I see you come back again, I am so happy for you."

"Me too, sir."

Victor also said happily: "In the few days since I received your call, I have been looking forward to seeing you again."

After a pause, Victor said again: "Oh, yes, sir. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zucker Wald, the owner of Wald Pictures."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Barnte."

Zhuke did not take a stance at the moment, but greeted the old man William humbly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the friendship between William and Victor, and with regard to the invitation letter, William has indeed helped Wald Pictures. How can Zhuke disrespect such an old man?

"I'm also very happy to meet you. By the way, I have also heard of you. Your company's recent "Fatal Corner" has made a big name."

In the following time, Old William also enthusiastically introduced Zhuke and Victor to some Hollywood insiders he knew.

Somonro Downs;

Cruise Enbit Wise;

J. Chot Lazist;

Clath James

.......

Wait for these people, it sounds like few people know.However, in the field of Hollywood animation, these people are properly god-level figures. They created "The Lion King", "Snow White", "Mulan" and other animated films, which one is not famous in the world?

After some exchanges, Zhuke and Victor temporarily found a corner to sit down.

"Boss, have you noticed? These veteran characters in Disney animation are quite unsatisfactory at Disney now!"

In communicating with them, the keen Victor discovered the sadness between their brows.

"You're right."

Zhuke nodded and said: "As far as I know, since the glory of "The Lion King" produced in 1994-95, the life of Disney animation has been difficult, especially the recent release of "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" in September. , The box office fiasco has made this group of Disney's meritorious veterans live like years."

The movie "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" cost Disney US$65 million, plus a publicity fee of US$15 million, resulting in a total cost of US$80 million.

However, the box office on the day of the premiere only received $6 million.

It has been in theaters for more than a month, and now the cumulative North American box office is worth more than 20 million US dollars, which can be described as a major box office failure!

The most important thing is that the reputation is also rotten!

Victor sighed: "The animation produced by Disney was once the favorite animation of children in the world, but now the times have changed. The hand-drawn animation represented by Disney is no longer popular; and the 3D computer animation technology represented by Pixar has gradually become Mainstream."

After a pause, he said, "And Pixar's animations are also distributed by Disney. This kind of children picked up from outside defeated their own sons. How can you say that these veterans of Disney animation can still sit still?"

Zhuke agrees!

In fact it is the same.

The future belongs to the 3D computer animation represented by Pixar!

In the future, Disney Princess animation has been lifeless and falling to the bottom. It was not until 2014 that they relied on "Frozen" to return to the pinnacle of Hollywood animation!

"what?"

"Zuke, my old friend, and Victor, why are you here?"

At this moment, a sound of surprise came to Zhuke's ears.

Looking up, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

John Lasseter, head of the Pixar Five Tigers;

And the dragged old man-Jobs.
