Hollywood starts with animation

In a blink of an eye, it was another Monday.

Ten days have passed since the movie "Juneo" was released.

"Boss, this is the box office data of various North American movies last weekend." Victor handed Zhuke a copy of the data.

"Tsk tut~!"

Zhuke looked at the box office data in his hand and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Star Trek 8: First Strike" directed by Jonathan Frakes, also known as the first contact, won 30.71 million box office on the first day of the show last Friday, with a total box office of more than 54 million US dollars in the first weekend. , Won the North American box office championship last weekend;

The "Santa Bean" produced and released by 20th Century Fox also began to be released last Friday. It earned 12.11 million US dollars in the box office on the day of its premiere and 30.5 million US dollars in the three days on weekends, ranking second;

The movie "Juneo", after winning the North American box office last weekend, once again harvested $22 million in box office in three days last weekend.

"Ten days in theaters, the cumulative total box office was 108 million US dollars."

"In the North American box office rankings last weekend, ranked third."

Zhu Ke, in a state of self-confidence, is satisfied with the box office performance of "Juneo", after all, this is a movie produced by his own.

Of course, there are regrets.

"If it weren't for Warner's ambassador, the box office of "Juneo" would have exceeded 120 million US dollars." Zhu Ke was slightly unhappy.

"British Patient", "Space Slam Dunk", "Ransom Storm", "Mr. Sweetheart" and other films, ranked 4567.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Zhuke seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "Victor, you are focusing on Disney's "101 Dalmatians" these days. It should be released in two days. I think its box office may be very popular. , You must continue to make a second publicity of "Juneo" in a targeted manner."

101 Dalmatians?

"I see, boss."

Although Victor had some doubts, he still firmly supported Zhu Ke's decision.

"101 Dalmatians" is actually a small-cost movie. It was originally an animated film by Disney more than a decade ago, but now it's a live-action remake.

Tens of millions of dollars of small-cost movies are also big films gathering in the Christmas schedule, so many Hollywood companies don't care too much.

but.

They don't care, but Zhu Ke takes it very seriously.

Dude, that was "101 Dalmatians", which was ranked 6th in the annual box office rankings in 1996. It scored 33.5 million US dollars on the day of its premiere.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhuke attaches importance to it.

Targeting "Juneo" once again is enough to make the movie get a good box office.Otherwise, being beaten in an ambush, the box office must be greatly affected.

"Victor, don't be too busy today. It's Christmas anyway, dear~!"

Yes, today is Christmas.

Except for some of the employees who needed to stay at Wald Pictures, everyone else is on vacation, so Zhuke didn't stay too much today. After a few words with Victor, he left.

Back home alone.

"Christmas, fucking fucking~!"

Yes, Zhuke is quite unhappy about Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Watching other people's family enjoy themselves and get together, but there is only one person here.Even his little girlfriend Lima returned to Brazil for Christmas to reunite with his family.Moreover, even Sun Lei and Zhao Wushuang, the two bodyguards, Zhu Ke gave them a vacation.

It stands to reason that Zhuke has been an orphan for both his life and should have long been used to being alone.

But because of being alone all the year round, in days like the "Spring Festival", I always envy those with families.

Ding Dong~!

At this moment, the doorbell of Zhu Ke's house rang.

"Who is it? Is it Lima coming back?!"

The nanny, gardener and others in the villa are now on vacation because of Christmas. Zhuke had no choice but to open the door himself, and he was a little excited when he thought that it might be Lima.

however.......

When the door of the villa opened, Zhuke regretted it!

The person greeted by Zucker’s old mansion, James Sean, was impressive.

"Hi, my dear old buddy, is it surprising and touched to see me?!"

While James spoke, he embraced Zhuke warmly.

Zhuke pushed him away disgustingly: "You damn fellow, I was an accident? Still moved? Why didn't you come yesterday?"

In fact, Zhuke is also stiff.

Some people came to see him today, but they were actually moved.

James did not answer the question head-on, but pointed to a position not far from the right.

Not far away, it was a little girl who was under 10 years old, pushing a lady in a wheelchair, and walking slowly.

"Hi, dear Lily, and Aunt Alice, Merry Christmas~!"

The people here were James' long-paralyzed mother and his lovely sister.

Zhuke gave the two of them a soft hug.

Lily said with a sullen voice, "Zuke, I blamed my brother for being bad. Yesterday, my mother and I told him to take us over to find you early, but it wasn't until the afternoon that he decided to drive over, but who knew he was hit by snow? Road closure..."

The words of Little Lily made Zhuke's heart warm.

People are social animals after all!

Aunt Alice also smiled: "Zuke, this is the sweater I knit for you, do you like it?"

"Thank you! This is the best Christmas present I have received this year." Zhuke gently hugged Alice Alice again.

In the following time, it was warm and warm.

...

...

A few days after Christmas.

Wald Pictures officially resumed work.

"Boss, you are so prescient."

CEO Victor looked at Zhuke and immediately praised him loudly.

I can't help but he doesn't flatter, it is really Zhuke's sharp vision.

"101 Dalmatians" is a movie costing tens of millions of dollars. Who knew that during the Christmas period, under the siege of various blockbuster films, it burst out of unparalleled box office potential. It was released in just 3 days and earned 70 million US dollars. Box office results.

It can be said that it shocked many people's jaws!

"Boss, if we hadn't carried out targeted publicity work in time, our movie box office would definitely have suffered an avalanche drop in the past few days!" Victor explained.

4.2 million, 4.01 million, 3.89 million...

The box office of "Juneo" seems to be not high these days, but during the Christmas period when the big movies are crowded, and under the pressure of "101 Dalmatians", which ranked 6th in the annual box office ranking in 1996, it has been able to get such a box office. It is not easy.

As for other movies from major companies, it's a bit miserable!

Who told them to ignore "101 Dalmatians"?

Especially in the "Space Slam Dunk" starring the old gangster Jordan, the box office data has suffered an avalanche decline in the past few days. After three days, it only harvested less than one million dollars in the box office.

The old hooligan is already crying~!

at the same time.

In a coffee shop near Universal Studios.

Zhu Ke commissioned a head of a headhunting company to communicate with a 35-year-old woman in front of him.

"You said, you represent Mr. Wald, the boss of UPN Television Network, to hire me as the new CEO of UPN Television Network?" The middle-aged lady asked.

At this moment, the middle-aged lady was very confused.

Someone came to dig her?

You know, although she is very confident and confident to make a breakthrough in Hollywood, but currently she is just a very ordinary producer in Universal Pictures.

Serving as the CEO of even a small TV network is not where she is currently, but it is comparable.

"Yes, I just accepted Mr. Wald's entrustment. You can rest assured that Mr. Wald will bear the penalty for your contract with Universal Pictures, and you won't have any worries."

"Moreover, Mr. Wald also promised that as long as your work progresses to allow UPN to rise, he will give you the corresponding option reward!"

The head of the headhunting company solemnly said.

The salary is in place, and there are option rewards. The most important thing is that there is a platform for her to play, how can she refuse.

In the end, the middle-aged lady accepted the invitation and decided to become the new CEO of UPN.

Her name is: Donna Langlei.

In Hollywood in the 90s, not many people might know her, but if after 2013, no one in Hollywood would not know her!

You know, after 2013, she took the post of president of Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood films.

"Fast and Furious 7", "Jurassic Century", "Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes", "Fifty Shades of Grey", "The Secret Life of Pets", "The Hunter" and many other well-known films are all in her Produced and issued under the guidance.In one fell swoop, Universal Pictures, which had been declining for several years in Hollywood, was rejuvenated.

She is the future Hollywood boss!

Zhuke doesn't dig her over now, when will he wait?!
