Hollywood starts with animation

The next day.

The Burbank headquarters of the Disney Group.

That's right, it's Burbank headquarters.Because the Disney Group has two headquarters in the United States, one in the Burbank area of ​​Los Angeles and one in New York.

California, Idawa, New York, Washington, Pennsylvania... Owners and representatives of movie peripheral chain stores from various major states and major cities attended the peripheral authorization of "Bug Crisis" Bidding meeting.

Well, Zhuke didn't attend in person, but let Kevin Fitch, the vice president, participate on his behalf.

"Kevin, your boss Zhu Ke, are you really not optimistic about the surrounding market of "Bug Crisis"?" Old Billy asked again.

"It can't be said that it is not optimistic, but the boss said that "Bug Crisis" is tasteless." Kevin Fitch said.

Chicken ribs?

Well, as one of the representatives of the rough man and the illiterate, old Billy couldn't understand it at all!

“It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to discard it. This is a tasteless one. The movie "Bug Crisis" is excellent, and the response from the surrounding market will not be bad. It is understandable that the major surrounding chain stores want to make a fortune, but this premise It's the benchmark "Toy Story." Do you think "Bug Crisis" can match or surpass "Toy Story"?" Kevin Fitch said solemnly.

"This... This should be ok." Old Billy was not sure.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch shook his head and said: "At the beginning of the period, I held the same judgment as you, thinking that "Bug Crisis" would inherit the glory of "Toy Story", and even surpass it. But my boss Wald , But said it can’t be surpassed, and the global box office is at most 200 million US dollars."

In fact, there is another sentence that Zhuke did not say to Kevin Fitch.

——The protagonist of the "Bug Crisis" animation is a few bugs!

Pixar Animation designed their image to be very cute, and the fate of the characters also moved many people. That's right.However... they are still bugs!

Just ask, how many children would like dolls like caterpillars and ants?

I don't deny that there will be, but compared with "Toy Story", this number is definitely lower than that!

For a while, old Billy fell into thought.

He glanced at the crazy crowd at the scene who wanted to participate in the auction at all costs, and thought about the miracles of Zhuke in the past two years, which made him very entangled.

"Forget it, I won't fight this time."

"Anyway, I have already obtained the license of "Little Pig Page" in Utah. One less "Bug Crisis", I can make some money."

"But once "Bug Crisis" really smashes the dead and does not pay for their lives, there will definitely be a large group of people who will be half-dead."

Old Billy thought a lot in his mind in a short period of time.

Not long after...

The peripheral authorization of "Bug Crisis" officially kicked off under the auspices of an executive from the copyright department of Disney Group.

In the Utah area, the surrounding authorized price is 950,000 US dollars.

"I give out 950,000!" a potbellied businessman first said.

His name is Francis, and he runs a chain store in Utah. Its scale is no less than that of Billy, and even better.

"Francis, you are too stingy. You still run 10 nearby chain stores at a loss. Take a look at my offer. I have a chain store around Monel, I bid 1.5 million dollars!" a young man said loudly.

Wow!

In an instant, not only Francis was shocked, but the owners of the surrounding chain stores were also shocked.

I didn't do much.

Pushing the price to such a high price from the beginning, how can you play around?

"Monel, you bastard!" Francis cursed immediately.

As a young man, Monel, how could he stand this anger, and immediately cursed back: "Old guy, get out if you have no money."

Between peers, that's it!

What's more, they are still competing in the same Utah state, and the hatred is gone!

In the next moment, several other surrounding chain store owners in Utah, except for Old Billy, joined the fight with red eyes.

1.6 million!

1.75 million!

1.9 million!

.......

In the end, the young man Monel had the courage and bid $3 million to win the license of "Bug Crisis" in Utah.

"The price is really not low!"

Kevin Fitch took a breath of air on the spot, and he finally knew why his boss was so obsessed with animation theater movies.

Old Billy on the side also gritted his teeth: "Two years ago, I took the authorization of "Toy Story" from Zhuke in Utah. It was only 1.5 million US dollars. I didn't expect the "Toy Story" that has not yet been released and has an unclear prospect. "Bug Crisis" doubled the price."

After the movie is released, it is the same as before, but the two concepts are definitely not the same in price.

In the following time, the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania, Missouri, Nevada and other places were authorized to start shooting.

Pennsylvania, authorized to sell for $2.7 million!

Missouri, sold for $1.6 million;

Nevada, sold for US$2.4 million;

.......

The two-hour auction finally came to an end.

In the end, the Disney Group sold $117.5 million in only 50 U.S. states at an average price of $2.35 million per state.

Remember, this is only the income of the surrounding authorization of America!

If you are calculating the income of overseas countries, you can imagine the income authorized by Disney and Pixar around the "Bug Crisis".

Before it was released, the production cost of the film came back, and it made a lot of money.

At this moment, that is, Zhu Ke is not here, otherwise he will definitely curse...Oh no, I am envious!

In the original time and space history, after the release of "Bug Crisis", the North American box office performance fell short of expectations, and overseas was even more bleak. It really made those dealers who had won the authorization of the surrounding states to regret.

One by one, we are so old and miserable!

"A few months later, maybe a few surrounding chain stores went bankrupt or closed down."

Zhu Ke, who received the news, said not only quietly afterwards.

.......

at the same time.

Zhuke is currently on the filming scene of the movie "300 Spartan". The character shot today is a cameo of Hollywood celebrities.

Matt Damon, played the Persian messenger who came to Sparta at the beginning of the movie.

"Humble mortals, pray for the living Spartans, surrender to His Majesty Xerxes the King of Kings!"

However, Matt Damon hadn't been arrogant for long before he was kicked over by King Leonida!

"Do not!"

"You can't kill me!"

"I am a messenger, and a servant of the great King Xerxes. Once you kill me, your Majesty’s hundreds of thousands of Persian troops will slaughter your entire Sparta and burn your country. Destroyed and turned to scorched earth!"

Well, Matt Damon got the lunch.

.......

Next, the villain played by John Nedpp is on stage!

Yes, he also plays the villain!

Johnny Depp plays the rotten religious figure in Sparta, who strongly opposes the confrontation between King Leonidas and the Persians.

In fact, in Hollywood movies, when the big coffee came out in cameo performances, basically none of them played the role of a normal person, either a villain who received a box lunch in a few seconds, or a funny character who would die soon.

For example: In the movie "Deadpool 2", Brad Pitt played a funny mutant. During the jump of the plane, he touched the high-voltage electric death in a very simple and funny way.

Next, Keanu Reeves and Jacques Phoenix, etc., also appeared as villains.

He died tragically by decapitating, begging for mercy and being killed...There were many ways to die.

It has to be said that the various degrees of death of the big coffees who appeared in guest performances really made the scene joyful and it was laughable.

After the filming, Matt Damon looked at Zhu Ke faintly: "Isn't it so that I can be a decent hero? How come I become a tragic villain in the blink of an eye?!"

John Needup was very satisfied, "How good and happy the villain is, I like such a character."
