Hollywood starts with animation

Warner Bros. Pictures.

Barry Meyer, who had just taken the post of Vice President of Warner Bros. Pictures and took the post of CEO, couldn't help but start to look at the report in his hand.

"Boss, what's the matter with you?" the secretary Miss Daisy asked.

"Oh?"

Barry Meyer returned to his senses and sighed: "I just have a little regret and sigh. You said that Warner owns the world-renowned comics company DC Comics and owns thousands of superhero copyrights. We have a strong position in the field of comics and animation. It used to be almost on par with Disney, but...now?"

Miss Daisy was speechless.

Yeah, how strong DC Comics used to be!

However, as the box office of "Batman and Robin" suffered a fiasco, the performance of the entire DC Comics was also greatly reduced.Not only that, even the field of animation is in decline.

The animation market, especially the cinema animation market, is currently dominated by Steve Jobs's Pixar animation family, closely followed by DreamWorks Animation.

"I never thought... In addition to Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation, even Water World Animation under the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has also risen strongly. What are we doing in recent years?" Barry Meyer was extremely depressed.

Why are the six Hollywood giants called the six giants?

Not only do they have historical heritage, but also because they have a complete global distribution channel.

At the same time, various projects and themes of film and television production have always maintained an advantageous position.

Obviously, the emergence of Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Water World Animation has directly seized and divided the movie market of cinema animation. Even the Big Six in Hollywood are very weak.

Of course, the six powerless companies refer to the three film companies of Warner, Columbia and Universal;

The other three companies all have their own strong performance in the field of animation.

Pixar Animation, behind which is the Disney Group;

DreamWorks Animation is behind the Paramount Group;

Blue Sky Studio, behind which is 20th Century Fox Pictures and News Corporation;

In addition, the Blue Sky Studio, which produced "Ice Age" in the future, has not yet been acquired by News Corporation, but the cooperation between the two parties is also extremely close, and the acquisition will become a reality at any time.

"Disney, Paramount, Fox, either their own company's cinema animations are strong, or their partners are strong, but what about Warner?"

Barry Meyer was slightly worried: "If we can't invest heavily in the animation field, we will soon lose the cinema animation market!"

Upon hearing this, the secretary Miss Daisy said in astonishment: "Boss, is it so serious?"

"Yes!" Barry Meyer said firmly

At this moment, Zhu Ke is not here, otherwise he would be surprised.

Barry Meyer's inference is completely correct!

In the future, as of 2020, Warner's animation department will not have produced and produced any well-known cinema animations except for the old DC superhero animations.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Scooby Doo", "Polar Express"...

Very few!

Moreover, the few animated films that Warner produced in the 21st century were all before 2010.In other words, they will completely abandon the cinema animation film market in the future.

give up?

Do not!To be precise, they were kicked out of the cinema animation film market.

Of course, the future of Sony Columbia and Universal Pictures will be more miserable than Warner in the animation film.

........

20th Century Fox Pictures.

As the boss of Rupert Murdoch, the acid sea in his heart set off a stormy sea!

"The "Frozen Planet" animated film produced by our company failed miserably at the box office in the North American market, and the box office gains in overseas markets are even negligible."

"In order to build my own animation company, the money I paid before and after is completely no less than Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation, but... how unfair God is!"

"Even the damn guy Zhuke has earned more than $500 million in global box office with "Finding Nemo"."

Even if Zhuke and Murdoch have a good friendship, at this moment, Murdoch's heart is full of unhappy.

Acquisition!

"Abolished the animation department of Fox Pictures and acquired Blue Sky Animation Studio."

Yes, this is Murdoch's thinking at this time.

Just do it without hesitation.

Within a few days...

In the new round of group meetings of Fox Pictures, Murdoch put forward this idea.

"agree!"

"Agree!"

"Our own animation department is completely useless. It will only waste our money and simply let them all go away!"

"I've said long ago that Chris Mailerdande is just a mouthpiece, and he can't do anything ass, so let him go quickly."

Many shareholders and shareholder representatives agree with Murdoch's decision.

1. Abolish the animation department of Fox Pictures;

2. Acquire Blue Sky Animation Studio and turn it into a subsidiary of Fox Pictures;

Once the board meeting is over, the order will take effect immediately.

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

"Isn't this true?!"

Chris Mailedand, the head of Fox's animation department, who had just received the decision-making order of the board of directors, was completely dazed, and immediately full of unwillingness.

He was swept out!

Do not!

The hundreds of people in the entire Fox animation department will be swept out.

"I want to see Mr. Murdoch, and I will convince him." Chris Mailedand shouted outside the company.

However... Murdoch, who was burning with anger, didn't give him a chance at all.

Don't even give him a chance to meet.

1 day;

2 days;

3 days;

For a week in a row, Chris Mailedand almost broke his leg, and no one at Fox Pictures was willing to give him and them a chance to make a comeback.

Ever since, Chris Mailedand, he was angry!

"Good, good~"

"You drove me away, one day... I will make you regret it!"

"Disney Animation once drove out Jeffrey Katzenberg, leading to the rise of DreamWorks Animation, then I will revenge Fox Pictures in the future like Jeffrey Katzenberg!"

Chris Mailedand made up his mind.

Most people in the world have never heard of his name, but when it comes to the company he will establish in the future, I believe many people will know it.

——Lighting Entertainment Company!

The well-known lighting entertainment company is good at the production of animated movies. The animated movies produced by it, such as "Despicable Me", "Minions", "The Secret Life of Pets", and "Happy Voice" will be very well-known in the future.

In the original time and space history, Chris Meredande was swept out by Fox, and his team was disbanded. It happened after 2000, during the release of Blue Sky Studio's "Ice Age".

But now, due to the appearance of Zhu Ke, "Finding Nemo" came out ahead of schedule, making Murdoch determined to make an animated film.
