Chapter 396: DreamWorks Targeted
DreamWorks Animation.
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to you, my dearest friend—Zuke Wald!"
On this day, Zhuke was invited to DreamWorks Animation. As soon as he arrived, he was warmly received by DreamWorks Animation President Jeffrey Katzenberg.
"Well, it's okay after the formation, but we are old friends, and it's okay to have less stuff." Zhu Ke looked at all the employees of DreamWorks Animation and greeted him, and his blood was boiling immediately. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
"How can it be said that it is empty head and brain?"
Jeffrey Katzenberg laughed and said: "This is what everyone meant, and we all welcome you!"
Zuke waved his hand.
What Katzenberg said, Zhuke didn't believe a word.
Not long.
Zhuke followed Katzenberg and visited DreamWorks Animation together.
I have to say that although the technical level of DreamWorks animation is currently not better than Jobs’s Pixar animation, the spirit of forge ahead is definitely high-pitched.
"You are right. Our current technical level is not as good as Pixar Animation, but our technology is not bad either. Just dedicated to the research and development of new technologies, we have more than 90 people, which is definitely not inferior to Pixar. Animation." Jeffrey Katzenberg proudly said.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Zhuke nodded and agreed.
New technology R&D personnel are definitely the core existence of an animation company.
This is a trade secret, and it is the confidence that an animation company can go further!
"Water patterns, hair, light and dark levels, character expression capture... We have all done quite well, absolutely the top level in the industry!" Katzenberg introduced again.
Zuke couldn't help showing an expression of envy.
Information!
Zucker’s Water World Animation Studio was established later than Jobs’ Pixar Animation and later than Katzenberg’s DreamWorks Animation. There is indeed a big gap between them in terms of talent reserve and training. .
"Jeffrey, to tell you the truth, if it weren't for the agreement between My Water World Animation and Jobs, um, the agreement on technical mutual assistance, the technical level of Water World Animation is definitely behind the level of your era." Zhu Ke sighed. .
Katzenberg: "..."
Okay, Katzenberg is a little bit savory at this moment!
Before "Finding Nemo" was released, before Water World Animation signed a technical mutual assistance agreement with Pixar, Water World Animation was a few blocks away from DreamWorks Animation!
Well, even if Water World Animation has two ace animation series, "Peppa Pig" and "SpongeBob SquarePants".
But now?
Water World Animation is catching up!
Not only that, Water World Animation also successfully completed the listing on the US stock market, with a market value of more than 1.2 billion US dollars, which made Katzenberg envy and hate for countless nights!
"Zuke, you are such a lucky guy~"
Katzenberg can't help but sigh.
After all, the current strength of Water World Animation has surpassed DreamWorks Animation. In the field of computer animation, whether in terms of scale, box office, or influence, Zhu Ke’s Water World Animation ranks second in the United States. Pixar animation is second only to Jobs.
He envy!
"Ha ha!"
Zhuke smiled and said: "You don't envy you. The strength of your DreamWorks animation is obvious to all. What you lack is just an opportunity. Well, I believe this day will not be far away."
will not be far?
How far is that!
Just a few months ago, DreamWorks Animation’s "Brave the Golden City" was successfully released in North America.
It is an ambitious work of DreamWorks Animation!
The successful production alone is as high as 78 million US dollars. The number of employees involved in this animated film is as many as 350, and it took more than 2 years to create it carefully.
""Break into the Golden City" will surpass Pixar's "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo" of Water World Animation. I firmly believe that our DreamWorks Animation is the number one animation company in the United States."
"Yes, I firmly believe... we are the first!"
This is the declaration made by Katzenberg to a group of media reporters at the premiere of "Brave to the Golden City".
At that time, Katzenberg was so energetic~
However...
"Break into the Golden City" box office defeated!
Its first weekend box office score of three days in theaters was only $12.5 million;
As of now, the animated film has been released for a total of 2 months. In the North American market, it has only won a box office score of less than 50 million US dollars. Well, its final box office is worth 50 million US dollars at most.
In the overseas market, no one cares about it.
"The box office lost, it doesn't matter, we still have peripheral licenses, as well as offline DVD and video tape markets."
The results of it?
It's not as good as the box office!
The popularity of the surroundings of "Brave to the Golden City" is not as popular as "Toy Story 1" which was released a few years ago. Dude, you know "Toy Story 1" is a movie from a few years ago.
DreamWorks Animation, broken dreams!
A few months ago, the spirited Jeffrey Katzenberg has become a laughing stock in the industry. During this time, media reporters and film critics were even more cynical.
The biggest bright spot is also the culprit who drove Jeffery out of Disney-Disney Chairman Michael Eisner.
Hehe, the two are old rivals!
Michael Eisner bluntly said in public: "Jeffrey Katzenberg is an incompetent loser! He left Disney, but I did not drive him away, but his talents did not match the great Disney at all~ "
When Katzenberg saw the news, he was almost out of anger and ran away on the spot.
...
Katzenberg looks at Zhuke, UU reads www. uukanshu.com said solemnly: "My dearest friend, the fiasco of "Break into the Golden City" is not only a problem with the animation itself, but also from the strangulation of other companies!"
"Hollywood's top six." Zhu Ke vomited lightly.
"That's right!"
Katzenberg nodded heavily and said: "Before the release of "Brave to the Golden City", we had already signed a theater contract with Emperor Entertainment Cinemas, but...On the third day before the release, Emperor Entertainment broke the contract. Up."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke was surprised: "Isn't your distribution always in charge of Paramount? How can Emperor Entertainment dare to unilaterally break the contract?!"
Zhu Ke is not surprised.
The distribution business of DreamWorks Animation is all accepted by Paramount, one of Hollywood's top six!
In the current situation of the movie theater market, the movie theaters are in a weak position, and I absolutely dare not offend the Big Six in Hollywood.
Katzenberg sneered: "We did not hand over the release of "Brave in the Golden City" to Paramount, but our DreamWorks Group alone."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke rolled his eyes immediately.
得~
This must have been targeted!
"You played Paramount, Paramount was angry, and immediately let the theater party **** you, this is not a matter of course!" Zhu Ke said with a curled mouth.
Speaking of this, Zhuke finally understood the purpose of Katzenberg's invitation to Zhuke to come to DreamWorks.
He is asking Zhuke for help!
The first update of "" is sent.
