Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 228: Harmful, many cries

???? After the premiere of "Bug Crisis", Zhuke did not leave immediately, but had a meeting with Katzenberg of DreamWorks Animation in a nearby coffee shop.

???? "Zuke, just talk about it." Katzenberg took a sip of coffee indifferently.

???? Katzenberg is a very proud person. If someone else invites him, he might dismiss it. However, with Zhuke's position today, he has to give him the face.

???? Zhu Kelang said: "Then I'll just say it, I want your overseas distribution rights for the animated films produced by DreamWorks Animation."

???? "......."

???? Katzenberg was taken aback.

???? "Young man, are you kidding me?!" Katzenberg was shocked.

???? "Jeffrey, we all know that our group is building overseas distribution channels. Currently, there are good distribution channels in Mexico, Canada and other countries, and my price and charges are much lower than Paramount." Zhu K said.

???? "Why don't you mention Europe, Asia, Australia?" Katzenberg played with it.

???? Hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately waved his hand: "Don't worry. As far as I know, the overseas distribution contract signed by your company and Universal Pictures only has less than 2 years left. And I have confidence in the two. Within a year, complete the distribution channels in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Of course, you may think I’m joking, but don’t I have one more choice? It’s no harm to you and DreamWorks. "

???? Katzenberg nodded.

????After all, Wald Pictures’ commission for film distribution is much lower than that of Paramount and other Hollywood’s six major players.

???? Benefits are enough to make anyone compromise.

???? Katzenberg didn't think about it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll give you two years. Let's talk at that time."

???? Cooperation with Wald Pictures?

????Ha ha!

???? Katzenberg really doesn't believe that Wald Pictures can improve the layout of overseas distribution channels within two years.

You must know that in addition to the Six Hollywood, there is also a once glorious MGM with a complete global distribution channel.

????other?

???? Haha, there is no more!

???? He now promised Zhu Ke an opportunity, which was a perfunctory at all.

???? But Zhu Ke doesn't care. Facts speak louder than words. Now no matter how much I say, it is nothing without strength!

???? Two years later, "Shrek 1", one of which was released, with a box office of $270 million in North America alone, became the best-selling animated film in North America ever.

???? There are so many online and offline animations, Zhuke, who has the attributes of a vampire, how can he not be greedy?

???? A few hours ago, Zhu Keli’s "Lengtouqing" persona,...

Mainly for this moment, otherwise according to Katzenberg's arrogant temperament, Zhuke would never be given a chance!

???? At the same time, "Shrek 1", which exploded two years later, actually has a coincidence!

???? That's right, just a coincidence!

???? DreamWorks Animation does not pay attention to "Shrek"!

???? An "anti-fairy tale", "spoof" animation film, in the eyes of many people, is alternative and niche, DreamWorks Animation itself did not care, but it is such an underestimated one. The movie has achieved an amazing box office performance!

???? Zhu Ke Duo is one of the chicken thieves!

???? "If you really take over the distribution of "Shrek", then once it succeeds, the overseas box office will explode, and you can't help making a fortune, and it will definitely allow Wald Pictures' overseas distribution business to register To a new level;"

???? "If it fails, and the overseas box office fails, that's nothing. After all, DreamWorks itself doesn't care much, does it?"

???? So, Zhu Ke is a chicken thief, both sides are considered.

????.......

???? A few days later.

???? "Bug Crisis" animation is released!

???? Box office explosion!

???? On the first day of the show, the North American box office received 33.2 million U.S. dollars, ranking first in the North American box office rankings on Thanksgiving Day;

????Compared to the $29.14 million on the first day of "Toy Story" released 3 years ago, it is more than $4 million higher.

???? In just one week of its release, it accomplished the feat of over 100 million at the box office in North America!

???? Pixar animation, once again shocked Hollywood!

???? The two directors of "Bug Crisis" animation, John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, are famous in the United States.

????but.......

???? Such an excellent "Bug Crisis" animation, its follow-up performance did not meet the expectations of Pixar and Disney Group.

???? After the Thanksgiving holiday, the North American box office performance of "Bug Crisis" showed a rapid downward trend.

???? The performance is far below expectations!

????"what?"

???? Jobs looked at everyone at Pixar in surprise: "What you mean is that the final box office of our "Bug Crisis" will be much lower than "Toy Story"."

????"Yes, sir."

Market analysis expert Russell Shen said: "From the current performance of the North American market and overseas markets, the North American box office of "Bug Crisis" will be less than 170 million U.S. dollars. As for the overseas market, the current data is relatively small, but the overall The trend is not optimistic."

???? Jobs is upset!

???? John Lasseter and others are also a bit discouraged.

???? "Toy Story" cost 30 million U.S. dollars, achieved a North American box office of 190 million U.S. dollars, and broke the box office of a series of animated movies...

Record

???? However, the production cost of the "Bug Crisis" movie is as high as 70 million, and the cost of publicity is also much higher than that of "Toy Story", but the current box office performance is far less than expected.

???? Do you think Jobs is in a good mood?

???? "Boss. We don't need to worry too much. At least a few months ago, our peripheral authorizations have already made a lot of money." Analyst expert Russell advised.

???? The voice fell.

???? The expressions of everyone around him immediately looked better.

???? "Yes, we made a lot of money with the peripheral authorization a few months ago."

???? "That's right."

???? "With an average price of US$2.35 million in each state, only 50 states in the U.S. sold for US$117.5 million."

???? "This is just a peripheral authorization from America!"

???? "If I remember correctly, in overseas countries, our "Bug Crisis" peripheral authorization, in addition to the follow-up sales of infrared, also received 200 million US dollars in funds."

???? Everyone in the room checked and found that even if the box office performance of "Bug Crisis" was not as good as expected, Pixar and the Disney Group are still making big profits.

???? Everyone's mood has improved a lot.

???? Lasseter shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But those retail stores and chain stores that have obtained authorization from the surrounding areas are probably going to lose money."

???? That's right, Lasseter guessed it right.

???? In fact, now the owners of movie-peripheral chain stores across the United States have the heart to scold Pixar and Disney.

???? Old and miserable losses!

????.......

????Utah.

???? Chain stores around Dieter.

???? Monel, who once won the authorization of "Bug Crisis" in Utah for $3 million, is about to cry!

???? "Damn Pixar!"

???? "Damn Disney!"

???? "The "Bug Crisis" like shit!"

????" It’s been 9 days. It’s been 9 days since "Bug Crisis" was released. My 15 surrounding chain stores didn't even sell many "Bug Crisis" merchandise, compared to "Toy Story" merchandise. It's hot, it's too much difference. No, it's not a magnitude at all."

???? Monel specially hired a statistical company to conduct accounting.

???? He was shocked to discover that he couldn't help making no money on the "Bug Crisis" authorized project, but instead had to lose at least 1.5 million US dollars.

???? At this moment, Monel has his heart to die!

???? "Hehe, driving you crazy, now I know I regret it."

???? Francis, who also runs the surrounding chain stores in Utah, ridiculed Monel.

???? At the auction a few months ago, Francis also authorized the bidding for "Bug Crisis"...

Remorse for losing the fight, but now I can only rejoice.

????at the same time.

???? is also Zhuke's old friend who ate in Utah-old Billy.

???? He is also very scared at the moment!

???? ""Bug Crisis" is just a chicken rib, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has absolutely no need to compete for authorization!"

???? This is what Zhuke once said to old Billy.

???? Old Billy sighed at the moment: "It's good to hear Zucker's words, otherwise it will be done for nothing this year."

????.......

????at the same time. Chapter 228

???? California, New Mexico, Pennsylvania

????Sifania, Washington, New York....... All the dealers in the surrounding areas who have won the authorization of "Bug Crisis" have regretted and cursed.

???? ""Bug Crisis", go to death!"

???? "It's a shit-like thing, I'm so miserable!"

???? "Damn it, I bought millions of dollars worth of goods, and now I have sold less than 150,000 dollars, which is a terrible loss!"

???? "Losing Steve Jobs still vowed to praise his Pixar as the world's number one animation company, but now? I believe in your evil!"

???? Jobs and the eighteenth generation of Disney's ancestors have recently been scolded and miserable.

???? Many dealers and the owners of surrounding chain stores have done nothing this year. What's more, Monel, the owner of the chain stores around Dieter in Utah, directly filed for bankruptcy.

???? This big hole in "Bug Crisis" has made many people miserable!

When Zhu Ke got the news from the media, he couldn't help laughing.

????but!

???? Zhuke didn't care too much, after all, he was busy choosing a director for Spider-Man.

???? The second update of "" is sent.
