Hollywood starts with animation

In the following days, Zhuke stayed on the farm for 7 days.

Riding horses in an endless pasture every day, and riding on horses instead;

At noon, in the forest with countless rare animals and plants, leisurely build a forest cabin with everyone, take a shotgun, and hunt happily;

Of course, rowing a boat on the vast lake is Zhuke's most enjoyable activity.

However, because it was November, even though the freshwater lake on the farm was connected to the sea and there was no ice formation, it was still too cold, minus 16 degrees.

God, this makes Zhu Ke very helpless.

Of course, it is not without the good side. On the 5th day of staying at the farm, the Great Lakes area snowed!

This is the first snow in the United States since the beginning of winter in 1998.

It's snowing, what are you doing?

Of course it is happy Sahuan!

Zhuke has been busy working since the journey.

Well, even if Zhuke is lazy and has a lot of free time, he has never experienced it in the wild.This trip to the farm satisfied all Zhuke's illusions.

This evening.

"Lassett, I heard you calling in the morning. Did Jobs urge you to return to Los Angeles?" Zucker took a sip of hot cocoa, sitting by the burning fireplace.

"Yes. After all, the premiere of "Bug Crisis" is less than three days away." Lasseter drank the large glass of beer in his hand.

Lasseter has an amazing amount of alcohol, but his favorite has always been beer, even in winter.

Zhuke nodded: "Speaking of the "Bug Crisis" animated film, you seem to be quite low-key this time! Even the main members of the entire crew went to your company’s talk show on ABC TV last month, but you The director did not go, why?"

Lasseter laughed and said: ""Bug Crisis" is an animated film co-directed by Andrew and I. A few years ago, "Toy Story", I have been in the limelight. This time, no matter what, Andrew should be the guy. Showcased."

Zhu Ke couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Is your relationship with the five Pixar generals so good?"

"You fellow!" Lasseter was speechless.

In fact, the relationship between the Pixar Animation Five Tigers, as seen by the outsiders, is extremely good, and it is quite fraternal.

Of course, a good relationship is a good relationship, and everyone is unwilling to be content with each other.

Lasseter is the head of the five generals and the first person under Jobs.Although everyone is very convinced of him, it does not mean that they are willing to give up success. They are holding their tempers one by one, and can't wait to enlarge their moves!

In the "Bug Crisis" project, Andrew Stanton really wants to take a breath!

"Hey~~!"

Having said this, Zhu Ke sighed: "I don't know what kind of luck Jobs had. He actually had you, Andrew, Brad, Docter, and Unkridge five amazing guys, even if only To join my water world animation alone, I definitely welcome with raised hands."

Pry the corner, everywhere.

For any of the Pixar Five Tigers, Zhu Ke is extremely greedy.

"Man, don't be too greedy. David Messer is a very good young man. He is one of the few people in Pixar who can resist the big tripod. Didn't you also be poached by you?" Lasse Said very angry.

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke laughed immediately.

Digging into David Messer is indeed Zucker's proud work!

David Messer is the first person in the future to put forward the idea of ​​"Marvel Cinematic Universe" and realize it; at the same time, he is also the producer of the animated film of the same name in the game "Angry Birds".

It is no exaggeration to say that without David Messer, there would be no "Iron Man" movie, and there would be no subsequent series of brilliant performances by Marvel.

November 23.

On this day, Zhuke ended his farm trip and returned to Los Angeles with Lasseter and others.

"Lasseter, next time I go to my farm, I will take you on my private jet worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is definitely more comfortable than this kind of public flight."

As they parted, Zhuke said to Lasseter.

"Man, you can enjoy it. Jobs doesn't have a private jet now." Lasseter played with it.

"Of course, just that bad old man Jobs, what would he enjoy?" Zhuke couldn't help but curl his lips.

.......

That night.

After Zhu Ke finished his dinner, he suddenly received a notification sound from the system.

"what?"

"This time the system news came so quickly?"

It's no wonder that Zhuke is not curious.

The system has been "missing" for more than half a year, and it has never appeared.But ten days ago, as soon as it appeared, it provided itself with news of the "Lincoln Park" rock group.I don't want it now, after such a short time, it appeared again.

"Ding Dong!"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining relevant information about "Fast and Furious" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Seeing the system message, Zhu Ke couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

At this moment, Zhu Ke's mood is like midsummer time, drinking a glass of ice water in the desert, which is extremely refreshing!

After all, these two films are both series films, which have attracted a large number of celebrities with strong influence on a global scale.

The box office performance is insane!

Of course, even the performance of the offline DVD and video tape market and the peripheral licensing market can be called horror!

At this moment, Zhu Ke, who won the two gold mines, felt very happy.

however.......

When Zhu Ke read these two system messages, the mood of the whole person is not so beautiful!

The "Fast and Furious 1" script was published as early as 1995 and was purchased by Universal Pictures from the creator of the script for US$45,000 in the first half of 1996.

In addition, Zhu Ke also learned from system news that an executive from Universal Pictures has begun planning to transform the "Fast and Furious" script into a movie.

"Damn it!"

"Cut Hu. I want to cut Hu!"

Zhuke was not reconciled.

In fact, the script of "Fast and Furious 1" can't be said to be so good, it is nothing more than a plot of police and gangsters, beauties, and the Heat fighting.

"Cute plot setting, formulaic film, first-class production level."

This sentence can fully explain the first three movies of "Fast and Furious".It wasn't until the fourth part of the series that the core setting of "family" and "friendship" was officially established. Since then, it has soared and become famous.

The first three movies in the series are really ordinary.

However, this does not mean that Zhu Ke has to give up. After all, as of 2020, the global box office of the entire series can add up to 6.5 billion US dollars.

Who will give up?

Giving up is a big fool!

"Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, from the system news, is not so smooth.

Zhu Ke is an extremely chicken thief!

As early as 96, after meeting "Captain Jack" John Nedup, Zhuke was at full power and, with his few memories, wrote a pseudo-"Pirates of the Caribbean" script and the main story outline.And submitted a copyright application.

This means that "Pirates of the Caribbean" belongs to Zucker's copyright.

However, the system prompted a message, so Zhuke had to cheer up.

On November 3, 1998, Hollywood gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer asked the copyright department of the federal government to provide relevant settings for "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The two are similar, no, the settings are the same!

After all, Zhuke, as a traverser, basically plagiarized Jerry Bruckheimer.

Of course, for copyright, whoever registers first counts.

But, is there no problem?

Do not!

Don't overestimate Hollywood's morals!

Infringement is infringement, and big Hollywood companies are still afraid of lawsuits?!

They want to occupy or skip your copyright, there are ways.Moreover, they only need to modify the settings and script to legally shoot the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. At that time, Zhuke will have no choice.

"It's not so good!" Zhu Ke frowned.
