Hollywood starts with animation

"The East Factory needs talents like you."

This sentence originated from Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory in the TV series "The First Under Heaven", which was once popular in the great empire.

This sentence also applies to Hollywood.

Chris Meredande is the founder of the animation department of Fox Pictures. Although the animation works produced in recent years have caused Fox Pictures to form a huge loss, it can be called a big loss, but it cannot be denied that Fox Pictures The past contribution of the industry animation department.

In 1989, the animation work of "The Simpsons" came from the animation department of Fox Pictures. Once it came out, it was loved by countless children and became the ace drama in the American animation field in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Sony Columbia Pictures.

Amy Pascal, who has just taken the post of president of Sony Columbus Pictures, convened a meeting of company executives as soon as he learned that Mailedand was swept out by Fox Pictures.

"There is no doubt that Mailedander is an animation genius!"

Amy Pascal solemnly said: "Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Water World Animation have risen one after another. Even Blue Sky Studio has achieved good results in the Oscar Animation Awards. But, what about Sony Columbia?"

"We are almost nothing in the cinema animation market!"

"Therefore, I think this is an opportunity. To recruit Melodand and Melodand's team, and build our Columbus animation team based on this, so that we can get a bite of cake in the animation film market."

Soliciting?

As soon as the voice fell, several executives laughed disdainfully on the spot.

Vice President James Jackson curled his lips and said: "President Pascal, are you kidding? You said Mailedand is a genius in the animation field, so I ask you, why did Fox Pictures fire him? Why did you abolish the whole Animation department and team?"

(Remarks: Vice President James Jackson was sued in court in 2004 for the "household abuse" scandal, with compensation of US$829,000.)

"I agree with the views of Vice President Jackson. Mailedand and his team have caused Fox Pictures to lose more than US$150 million in just four years. The box office market has failed miserably, and the Oscars have not achieved any success. Just ask, we want What is he doing?" Loyle, the president of the home entertainment department, sneered.

"Seconded!"

"Agree."

"We are not a garbage station, why do we want so much garbage that has been swept out of the house?"

Hollywood chasing winners is a consistent tradition.

When you are successful, directors and production companies will circulate around you, and tout you, but when you are in a trough, quagmire, or failure, there are not too many people who want to trample you to death.

At this moment, most of the Sony Columbia executives present were against President Amy Pascal’s proposal.

"Do you really think this proposal is completely unnecessary?"

Amy Pascal looked ugly and asked again.

"Pascal, although you are the president of Sony Columbia Pictures, do you want to ignore everyone's opinions? I believe that the group board of directors will not support you!" Vice President James Jackson said solemnly.

Made me look bad!

That's right, Jackson, as the vice president, did not pay attention to the new president Pascal at all!

Why?

Because the president Amy Pascal is a woman!

In Hollywood's major film companies, when male executives account for 95%, the situation of female executives is completely imaginable.

At the same time, when Pascal was appointed president of Columbia Pictures in 1999, it seemed to the outside world that she still lacked certain qualities as a leader of a film company.Even, guessing when she will be fired by Sony’s boss, once became a hot topic in Hollywood.

Now Amy Pascal is nominally the head of Sony Columbia Pictures, but in fact he has no control at all, and many people oppose her.

"Humph!"

Pascal snorted coldly: "Remember! You must remember today's meeting. Because of your stupidity, our Columbia company missed a talent, an opportunity to allow us to return to the animation film market. You... .One day, I will feel ashamed of being stupid today~"

After speaking, she ignored everyone's reaction and yelled "The meeting is over," and then left the scene angrily.

.......

As the saying goes: if someone steps on it, someone will praise it!

Fox Pictures dismissed Melodand and his team as if they were left behind; Columbus Pictures lost Melodand because of internal conflicts.

But... across Hollywood, there are still several film companies chasing them.

"Ha ha!"

Mailer Dande laughed at himself: "The film company chasing us doesn't even have a second-tier film company. They recruited my team and me, so what space do I have?"

Sorry!

Although Mailedander is a total loser at present, he still has his own pride. He can't look down on those third- and fourth-tier film companies.

He wanted to go to the company, and there were only six giant companies from beginning to end.

"I will learn from Jeffrey Katzenberg and take revenge on Fox Pictures one day!"

Therefore, he has few choices.

The Disney Group was first excluded. People have Pixar Animation in their hands, so what does it need to do?

Paramount Group is the second choice, but they and DreamWorks are getting very close, and they are recruiting Mailedand. Isn't it a problem for DreamWorks animation?

It's like you are pursuing a girl, but you hook up with another girl and glaring at her. What do you make both parties think?

...

After eliminating multiple choices, there is only one most suitable object-Universal Pictures.

However, Universal Pictures is currently negotiating the acquisition with the French Vivendi Group. Where can I have the time to see him?

"Is there really no way at all?" Mailedand was a little worried.

Of course, the team of hundreds of people who were swept out by Fox together with Mailedand was extremely anxious.

Even in the United States, a favorite job is not so easy to find, even in a highly sought-after industry, it is like a college entrance examination, with thousands of people breaking into a single-plank bridge.

Just at this time.

Zhuke's Wald Films is here!

Mailedander himself and his team are a little tempted.

Water World Animation Company is well-known for the two series of "Little Pig Page" and "SpongeBob SquarePants". Recently, "Finding Nemo" has become a big hit, and its popularity has been further improved.

"Boss, let's go!"

"Yes, I heard that Water World Animation will be listed on the US stock market in the near future. After we join in, we will definitely not lack funding."

Everyone persuaded Mailedand.

At the same time, Zhu Ke is also looking forward to it.

"Minions", "Despicable Me", "The Secret Life of Pets"... are all world-renowned animated films.How can a chicken thief be like Zhu Ke?
