Chapter 318: Revenge is not overnight
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
Launch two animated feature films at the same time?
That is for sure if there is a shortage of people!
Up to now, Water World Animation has a total of more than 500 people. Excluding non-animation professionals such as logistics and management, there are only more than 400 people.
If you want to develop the two animations of "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Flying House of the Globe" at the same time on the basis of the subsequent episodes of "Little Pig Peppa" and "SpongeBob SquarePants", at least 200 people are needed.
"Boss, this is a staffing arrangement with a production time of 3 years. If you want to shorten the lifespan, then the minimum staffing for each group is 350~400, or even more." Stephen Solenberg said.
Zhuke nodded.
Still the same sentence, hire people if you are short of people!
The primary goal is to dig out people from Mailedand's team!
David Messer immediately said: "In addition to these animated films, the second group and I are also planning to develop an animated film with a musical theme in the near future."
Music animation movie?
"What's your name?" Zhu Ke curiously asked.
""Crazy Baez"!" David Messer responded.
what is this?
Soon, David Messer told Zucker about it.
"Crazy Baez" is an animation project proposed by David Messer and jointly developed with Baez Doll Factory. The estimated production cost is 30 million US dollars. It aims to promote the Baez Doll. Of course, the script produced by a group of screenwriters led by David Messer is also very good.
"I remember. Your proposals were submitted to me and Victor three days ago. I haven't had time to read them. The documents are still in my office." Zhuke suddenly realized.
What can Zhuke do?
Of course I agree!
As a traverser, Zhu Ke has naturally watched many excellent animated films in the future, but his generals are able to display their subjective initiative and not blindly rely on themselves, which makes Zhu Ke very gratified.
However...the problem is coming again!
How many people does the "Crazy Baez" project need?
How long is its production cycle?
These problems are unavoidable facts!
The long production cycle of animated films has always been an important factor restricting the development of the animation industry.
Consider today's Pixar Animation Company, the total number of employees in the entire company is as high as thousands; and, in the near future, it will continue to expand. By 2010, the number of employees of Pixar Animation will exceed 3,000 in one fell swoop.
The animation industry is quite an industry that eats talent quality and quantity!
The meeting continues to discuss~
In the end, Zhuke and others set a tone.
1. The two animated series of "Little Pig Page" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" will maintain the content production of one season a year;
2. Started the animation production of "Crazy Baez", invested 30 million US dollars, and is expected to be released by the end of 2001;
3. The production cost of "Kung Fu Panda" movie is tentatively set at 130 million U.S. dollars and is expected to be released in 2003;
4. The production cost of "Flying House Global" movie is tentatively set at 160 million U.S. dollars and is expected to be released in 2004;
5. The script of "Finding Nemo 2" began to be edited, and it is expected to be completed in 2005 and released;
"Listed! Listed! Listed!"
"Hiring! Hiring! Hiring!"
These two words seem to be the main work of Water World Animation Company.
........
Two days later.
His full name is Chris Meldandre, and there is a former Fox Pictures animation department head called "Meledand". He was just happy for a few days, and his face is full of haze at this moment.
"Old man, please~ I just returned from Munich, Germany, after making an investment agreement. You should be happy. Why do you put on a bad face?"
The speaker is a middle-aged man who is nearly 50 years old. His name is Leo Nix. He has been a partner of Mailedand for many years. He is like a right-hand man and a member of the original Fox animation department.
"Hey~~~!"
Upon hearing this, Mailedand sighed: "Old man, I'm not targeting you, you will know by reading these letters."
letter?
Leo Nix’s smiling face was suddenly full of doubts.
However... he couldn't laugh anymore soon!
"Jobs?!"
"Damn~ Shirley, Mundo, Kerviel, Abaz, Cordian... They turned their backs on us and chose to join the Water World Animation Company?"
"Asshole!"
"A bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
Leo Nix was very angry at the moment. He had always been violent, and directly tore these letters to pieces, and repeatedly stamped on the ground.
While trampling, while swearing.
"A bunch of bastards. No, I'm going to find them now. I want to see if these **** have the face to face me! Especially the two guys, Mundo and Kervell, they are my students, it's me. I taught them the skills with painstaking efforts, and they even dared to betray me. I will never forgive them."
Leo Nix was furious.
After speaking, he was about to call, but was stopped by Melodand.
"Don't call, they are willing to go to the Water World Animation Company, then let them go, don't forget, Zhuke Wald that guy we can't afford now." Mailedand said solemnly.
Can't afford to offend?
Leo Knicks was immediately discouraged.
After playing around with the billionaire Zhu Ke, he has already been severely offended. If he still dares to raise the moth now, then Zhu Ke's anger is definitely not something that Mailedand and Leo can bear?
However, their hearts... are bleeding!
117 people!
In just two days, Water World Animation Co., with its strong financial resources and employee benefits, took away 117 of them in one fell swoop, accounting for one-third of the total number.
Among them, there are many key personnel and talented designers who have been pried away.
"We won't be able to repay this enmity in the short term." Mailedand said with a solemn expression.
"Ha ha!"
Leo Knicks sneered and said, "Still expecting revenge? I think we should be prepared to be avenged by others. That fellow Zhuke Wald, but a cautious eye that must take revenge."
Maile Dander was at a loss for words.
In fact, due to the poaching action of Water World Animation, some people in Mailedand's team were panicked and turbulent.
Not everyone can bear the revenge of a billionaire!
.......
at the same time.
Zhu Ke also received a call from David Messer, Vice President of Water World Animation.
"You can't treat the people dug from the Melodand team differently. After all, the people who have enemies with us are Melodand and Leo, not them."
It took more than ten minutes for the call to end.
咚咚咚~
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Zucker said.
The visitor is impressively Victor, CEO of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, second only to Zhu Ke.
"Boss, this is the list of film companies I recently drafted for acquisitions and shares in overseas countries and regions. You can take a look first." Victor said.
Hearing this, Zhu Ke took it immediately.
The acquisition and shareholding of film companies in overseas countries and regions is a continuous project of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group in recent years, which aims to improve overseas distribution channels.
"Not bad."
Zhuke nodded and said: "Although I warned the greedy dealers and distributors severely when I went to London last time, but the gluttonous dog is the gluttonous dog~www.wuxiaspot.com~ they can never change greed. The nature of it. If we cannot establish our own distribution channels, we will suffer sooner or later."
The overall box office share of Wald Pictures’ overseas channels in various countries and regions is 31%, which is far lower than the 35%~38% of the Big Six in Hollywood.
In short, Zhuke has to give up a lot of money every year!
How can Zhu Ke, who regards wealth as fate, be willing to be sucked blood by others?
"How much money is needed to acquire and invest in this batch of film companies? Have you ever checked the finances?" Zhu Ke asked.
"160 million dollars!"
Victor said solemnly: "As long as this operation is completed, our overall overseas box office share will rise by 2 points to 33%."
Zhuke agreed without hesitation.
For the future, it is definitely worth the extra money at this stage!
