Hollywood starts with animation

Pixar Animation Studios.

"Boss, all the information you want is here." John Lasseter handed a stack of documents to Jobs behind his desk.

Not long after Jobs took over the file, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the lenses against the glasses also glowed.

"Huh~!"

Jobs snorted coldly: "Zuke Wald, this little bastard, was really made a name for himself in Hollywood!"

Lasse said with a special head and exclaimed: "Yes, no one would have imagined that a year ago he was a little bastard who worked on the copyrights of our movies, but now he is a well-known Hollywood producer."

"Lola Run" global box office more than 100 million US dollars;

Although the box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" is not high, only a few million dollars, it has won a good reputation as a niche movie;

"Fatal Corner" has a North American box office of over 32 million U.S. dollars and an overseas box office of over 40 million U.S. dollars;

"Juneo" is even more remarkable, causing a sensation once it was released.

At present, the movie "Juneo" has won the single-day North American box office championship, with a box office of 29 million on the first day; in addition, in the first weekend just past, the film also won the box office championship for three days!

In the first three days of the weekend, the cumulative box office reached more than 63 million US dollars.

"John, you have been paying more attention to Zhuke recently. Tell me what's the matter immediately." Jobs put down the file in his hand.

Lasse nodded: "I know, I will pay more attention to the situation of Wald Pictures in the near future."

Upon hearing this, Jobs said solemnly: "It's not just Wald Pictures, but also the icq!"

icq?

Lasseter frowned suspiciously.

"Yes, it's icq!"

Jobs solemnly said: "When I watched the movie on the day of the premiere, I felt that icq was creative and would inevitably lead to a wave of trends, but I never expected that in less than three days, its registered users in North America would More than 500,000 people."

"so smart?!"

Rao is that Lasseter has seen a lot of big scenes, and at this moment he is also shocked.

You know that in 1996, the number of people using the Internet in North America was about 50 million.Now icq has only been listed for three days, and its cumulative registered number has reached one percent of the total number.In this case, how can Lasseter not be shocked?

.......

Paramount Pictures Group.

"Boss, did you see the box office data for last weekend?"

Zhuke's old friend Jordan stared scorchingly at the middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk, his expression full of respect.

"Well, I just finished watching it. Last weekend's box office champion, with a total box office of more than 63 million U.S. dollars. I have to say that Wald Pictures is a young, energetic, and extremely promising film company. If appropriate, We can buy it."

The middle-aged woman talking is Jordan's superior.

Her name is Shirley Lansing!

She is the CEO of Paramount Pictures Group, one of the six major Hollywood films, and the first woman to lead the six major film groups in Hollywood history. In the future, the annual "Hollywood Women's Rights List" will be dedicated to her Named "Shirley Lansing Leadership Award".

Her ability is evident.

"Boss, do you mean to go directly to the acquisition negotiation stage, or to participate in a share first?" Jordan asked.

Shirley Lansing pondered: "Let's take a part first, let him feel the sincerity of our Paramount. Hehe, after all, he needs our Paramount's strong overseas advertising capabilities."

"I understand."

Jordan nodded heavily.

Of course he understands!

The so-called sincerity and participation is nothing more than tying you up in advance, so that while you taste the sweetness in the early stage, you will become more and more inseparable from the big companies, cannibalize step by step, and finally will inevitably be acquired!

for example:

The second-tier film company Miramax, most of its shares belong to Disney;

Searchlight entertainment belongs to 20th Century Fox;

New Line Film Company belongs to Time Warner;

Touchstone Film Company, which also belongs to Disney;

and many more.......

There are many second-tier film companies in Hollywood, and many of them are eventually recruited by big companies through various means.

As for the so-called first participation, it is also a joke!

It's nothing more than a gentler means.

It's like DreamWorks animation, isn't it just the sweetness thrown by Paramount, it was hooked away!

.......

Warner Pictures Group.

Barry Meyer, who was the chairman of the Warner Film Group under Time Warner Group at the time, looked at the statement in his hand with some surprise.

I have to say that he was a little surprised at the moment.

However, the tall black man opposite him was a little upset, and his dissatisfaction was completely revealed on his face.

Well, he is the old NBA hooligan Jordan!

"Damn~!"

Jordan said angrily: "Where did this Wald Pictures come from? It ruined my movie "Slam Dunk in Space" and even took away the weekend box office champion that should belong to me!"

Although he is the god of basketball, he is also a person, not to mention his bad temper.

Now that the movie he starred in has been suppressed, how can he be so proud of him?

Barry Meyer said solemnly, "Michael, calm down."

"calm?"

Jordan chattered again: "Are you kidding me? I was defeated by a high school girl who was unmarried and conceived as a minor. Don't you allow me to complain?"

At this moment, Jordan is extremely unhappy.

In fact, Barry Meyer doesn't like to reason with outsiders, but facing Jordan, who is known as the "flying man", he can't be silent, he must respond.

"Michael, don't worry."

Barry Meyer calmly said: "Winning first does not necessarily mean winning to the end. Don't forget, we are Warner Pictures! In North America, we have a great influence on theaters and media and newspapers. With a little pressure, the opponent can fall apart~!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jordan's eyes lit up immediately.

However, what he thought of, he immediately hesitated and said: "Is it not so good to use outside tricks?"

Haha~~

Barry Meyer laughed immediately.

"Man, this is not an outside move. It is our conventional means, which is to use all available means to achieve our goals."

Not long after the moment, he personally instructed his people to contact the theater and exert influence, so that they could reduce the schedule of "Juneo".

As for the media and newspapers?

Haha~!

Warner, one of the six largest Hollywood media companies, is also a subsidiary of the giant media group Time Warner. In North America, even News Corp. cannot match them in terms of influence.
