Hello, 1983

, !

Watch a movie!

After getting out of the car at the entrance of a cinema, Xiao Liuzi cheered, and then took the fourth and fifth to go shopping.

What popcorn, drinks, and all kinds of small snacks, of course, are all indispensable.

Liu Yinfeng followed them with Xiaolulu and was responsible for paying.

Xiaolulu's little hand also grabbed a few grains of creamy popcorn and stuffed it into his little mouth.

Liu Qingshan took Wu Tong's hand and looked at all this with a smile.

Du Jiaxing, who was in charge of buying the tickets, quickly came back with the money: Cousin, which one should we look at first, is it a panda or a toy?

Of course it's a national treasure!

The little fourth came back from shopping, shouting, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't spare his hands, he had to knock Du Jiaxing twice on the head, and he had never seen such a stupid person.

My classmates all said they want to watch Toy Story. Du Jiaxing murmured, and then ran to buy tickets.

Liu Qingshan smiled unconsciously: You have to watch it anyway.

After buying the tickets and entering the arena, the cinema is also very interesting. Here are posters promoting pandas, and there are posters promoting toys. It is really a bit of a ring.

There are many people queuing up to buy tickets on both sides, usually parents lead their children.

Entering the movie hall where Kung Fu Panda is played, it is very lively, and there are many children, all holding A Bao's puppets in their arms. By the way, the little fourth and the others are also one by one.

After the movie started, the children were laughing from time to time in the theater. At first, Bao was too useless. It is estimated that this is where the flow of waste started.

But when A Bao turned into a dragon hero, fought fiercely against the snow leopard dragon, and finally defeated his opponent, every little baby almost made his little hands red.

KungFu, KungFu!

Xiao Liuzi shouted, and soon it became a uniform slogan in the theater, and the little boys waved their fists and shouted hoarsely.

When the children were tired of shouting, the fourth child took the lead and shouted: Panda, Panda!

So there was a new wave.

chubby, fat. Xiaolulu also shouted, making everyone around him laugh.

Liu Qingshan reached out and gave Wu Tong a high five: Great animated movie!

It's a really good animated movie.

There are strong Chinese elements in it, and in terms of martial arts, it is also better than the original.

Specially hired martial artists, designed movements such as snake boxing, mantis boxing, monkey boxing and so on.

The music is also very good. The beginning is light and funny, and the fighting scenes are integrated with percussion such as war drums.

In particular, the music of A Bao's incarnation as a Jackie Chan warrior is the prelude to the Xiaodaohui, which is simply explosive.

The reaction of these children at the scene made Wu Tong's face full of joy and pride, and the little worry in his heart disappeared completely.

When the lights came on, the staff asked the audience to leave the venue, and many children were reluctant to leave.

A little boy also gestured twice: I am the Dragon Hero, I know KungFu, believe it or not I will blow you up?

The staff member was also very interesting: Oh, of course I believe it, but the Dragon Warrior is to uphold justice and maintain peace, so you can't hit me.

Okay. The little boy could only leave the stage angrily.

Liu Qingshan and the others moved to the next movie hall to watch Toy Story.

It is also beautiful here, with novel animated images, interesting stories, and entertaining. The two images of Woody and Buzz Lightyear will surely penetrate into the hearts of children.

It's really good. It turns out that a computer can also produce such a good animation. Wu Tong kept praising him.

Computer animation is also the future development trend. Liu Qingshan also nodded.

Then should we also start to introduce equipment and try this aspect? Wu Tong will not rest on his laurels. On the contrary, in the field of animation, her sense of smell is very amazing.

Liu Qingshan nodded: Of course there is no problem. I am in charge of the equipment, and the technical guidance can also help hire them. They are the most powerful in the Pixar team.

Wu Tong gently kissed Liu Qingshan on the face while others were not paying attention.

Mom, I want to kiss too. Who knows, Xiaolulu has sharp eyes.

Wu Tong didn't feel the pretty face blushing, and pinched Liu Qingshan lightly, only to be seen by the girl again: Don't bully Dad!

Hahaha, Liu Qingshan laughed and hugged his daughter, then led his family out of the theater.

The next day, the newspapers started fighting, some support Kung Fu Panda, some support Toy Story, some like Po, and some like Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

As a result, there has been a wave of movie watching. After all, if you want to criticize others, you must first find the other party's shortcomings.

So the two opposing sides began to watch the movies supported by the other side secretly. After watching it, they felt that they were not bad, so traitors began to appear.

Two animated films, each with its own strengths, set off an animation frenzy at the end of this summer vacation, sweeping the entire North American continent.

At the box office, you chase after me, alternately leading, and soon both broke through the $100 million mark.

It has undoubtedly been announced that both animated films were very successful.

The production cost of Toy Story was higher, 30 million US dollars, and it has now been recovered.

The cost of making Kung Fu Panda is less than 10 million yuan, and profitability is a sure thing.

The mainstream media also gave high praise to these two animated films, and they have become excellent works recommended for children to watch.

By the end of the summer vacation, the two films had ended, and the toy had earned more than 400 million at the box office, which was higher than the original, which turned out to be more than 300 million.

And Kung Fu Panda has earned more than 600 million box office in the world, and the company under the big tree has gained both fame and fortune this time, at least more than 200 million US dollars.

At this time, only a newspaper disclosed that the biggest profit was Columbia Pictures. The two animated films were released by them, and they accumulated more than one billion box office. Think about how big the gains are?

At the end of the newspaper, it also praised that this is a successful marketing case, showing that Columbia has high-level people.

And movie fans didn't feel fooled, it didn't affect their liking at all. Those animation images have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is foreseeable that the sequel can be further filmed in the future, and it is really rich.

Even the market value of Columbia Pictures has soared.

Having an excellent IP is a valuable asset for a film company.

In addition to the box office, there can also be a lot of income around the two-step movie.

Especially Toy Story, after the broadcast, received letters of intent for cooperation from many toy manufacturers, hoping to be authorized to produce toys.

If this aspect is done well, the income will not be worse than the box office, and it will still be a long-term meal ticket.

Several other big film companies are envious, especially Disney and DreamWorks, and they have also begun to make efforts to make animated films.

If nothing else, the gold-absorbing ability of animated films is really not that strong.

But Columbia is a step ahead after all, especially with the best team at Pixar.

The old story of Liu Qingshan's acquisition of Pixar was also revealed by someone with a heart, and it was immediately touted as a successful investment case.

The original purchase price was as high as 100 million, and it was laughed at by many people as a big head.

Now I don't need anything else, just this Toy Story, it's completely back to the original.

Moreover, the valuation of Pixar has now exceeded one billion US dollars, and it will continue to appreciate in the future.

In fact, when it was acquired by Disney in 1996, Disney paid a market value of more than 7 billion shares.

Liu Qingshan has also been sought after again. After all, in the United States, people who can create wealth myths are more popular than the president. The president is basically a poor worm whose shoes are thrown.

He has also been interviewed by a number of magazines and TV stations, such as Forbes and Fortune.

Liu Qingshan finally chose Forbes and agreed on an interview time.

But before that, he had to say goodbye to the fourth child, Wu Tong and others. The school was about to start, and the fourth child should also go back to school.

The fifth child also wanted to return to Lilan to continue her dream. Qian Yuzhen also thought about it and did not stop her daughter.

And Wu Tong, after the success of Kung Fu Panda, is ready to start a new plan and needs to return to China to prepare.

The first is to gather people, and then bring them over to learn and practice in the Pixar studio.

That is to say, Liu Qingshan is the boss. Otherwise, the guys from the Pixar studio will not teach outsiders.

In the end, Liu Qingshan was left to lead Li Tie and Li Tieniu to stay here. By the way, there is also Xiaoliuzi, but Xiaoliuzi went to several other Huaxia hospitals to wander around.

Liu Qingshan mainly soaked in Pixar Studio, and together with these main creators, he studied the creation of the next animated film.

Studio leader John Russell thinks they're ready for a second Toy Story installment.

Then the audience will be fatigued. Liu Qingshan explained his opinion.

Russell chuckled: Boss, you must have a good idea, tell us about it?

It turned out that they were waiting here. Liu Qingshan didn't mind Russell's little tricks. He was also going to give them some guidance, so as not to go astray.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan said confidently: We can actually do a general mobilization series.

Russell whistled: Boss, you told me just now that you are not going to continue to do Toy Story.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: It doesn't have to be Toy Story, it can be The Incredibles, it can be Robot Story, we want to turn the Story into a super series and become a Pixar logo!

It was obvious that the production staff, led by Russell, were all short of breath.

They never imagined that their boss would have such a big ambition.

However, this is exactly what they need.

So everyone got together and started saving books, designing images, and writing copywriting, regardless of whether they were photographed or not, they got things out first and registered first.

This is Liu Qingshan's plan: to go his own way and leave other film companies nowhere to go.

After Liu Qingshan told the story of Shrek, he was immediately welcomed by these guys. Russell said on the spot: Just do it!

And Liu Qingshan was finally able to find time to be interviewed by Forbes magazine.
