Vol 3 Chapter 734: Gou of the Pixar

[Water World Animation's new work "Kung Fu Panda" has created a record of licensing fees around film history! 】

This news was first reported by the Los Angeles Entertainment News and California Entertainment News. Once the report came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the entire North American animation industry.

Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Studio, Disney Animation and other well-known North American animation companies are shocked!

The day the news came out...

Do not!

To be precise, in just a dozen minutes after the Los Angeles Entertainment News reported the news, Jeffrey Katzenberg, the founder of DreamWorks Animation, hurriedly summoned his subordinate executives.

"waste!"

"A bunch of trash, idiots!"

"Open your eyes and show me a closer look! It is also a leader in the animation industry, and it can even be said that water world animation is a thing! Don't forget~ everyone, most of you, originally It’s from Disney Animation, and none of the industry experience is less than 15 years, or even 20 years."

"What is its water world animation, and what is its background?!"

"But, what about now?"

"People have surpassed us, and they have surpassed us fiercely, so how can we be calm and calm? You say it!!!"

Emotions such as roaring, roaring, anger, anger and indisputability, etc., came out madly in these brief words, which shows how angry Jeffrey Katzenberg is now!

"Boss, you are right, we are careless, we should..."

An executive bite the bullet to agree, but was severely interrupted by Jeffery.

"Inferior to others is inferior to others, give me less excuses! Don't forget, in our industry, the strong win, the weak can only lose. We can lose, but we must never fail to recognize ourselves!"

The voice fell.

The huge conference room is silent at this moment, and all of them are silent!

Who can bear the anger of Jeffrey Katzenberg?

咚咚咚~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The person who opened the door was a 30-year-old man who was Katzenberg’s secretary and his nephew.

"Boss, Mr. David Geffen and Mr. Spielberg are here." The man said cautiously, even he was unwilling to face the angry Katzenberg.

"Humph!"

Katzenberg snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Okay, the meeting is suspended, give me a good reflection."

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly left the meeting room.

Water World Animation’s new work "Kung Fu Panda", which has not yet been officially released, has already won 160 million US dollars in the authorized market in the surrounding areas. Even if there are requirements for the box office amount in the agreement, this is not a problem, at least This turnover, it is indeed a record in the industry!

On the other hand, what about DreamWorks Animation?

In May 2001, DreamWorks launched the work "Shrek", which turned out to be a global box office record of US$480 million, making DreamWorks one of the most popular animation companies in North America.

but!

It was followed by May 2002.

Well, just a few months ago, DreamWorks launched the new work "My Little Pony King", which cost 85 million US dollars and lasted three years to produce, and the publicity cost was as high as 35 million US dollars.

With the performance of "Shrek" ahead, "My Little Pony King" has been wildly sought after by all parties before it was released.

Many points and companies, animation companies are also focusing on watching...

But "My Little Pony King" hit the street!

After several months of release, the global box office was only 110 million U.S. dollars. Excluding the income of the theater operator, the income of the distributor, and various costs of copying, transportation, manpower, material resources, and taxes, DreamWorks Animation has suffered a lot!

The most important thing is DreamWorks Animation. The dream that it wants to go public has once again fallen into the sand!

My company is cold, but the rival company is getting hotter?

You said, can Jeffrey Katzenberg have a good temper? !

Da Da Da~

There was a sound of footsteps.

At this time, the other two big brothers of DreamWorks Group, the superior unit of DreamWorks Animation, Spielberg and David Geffen, walked in.

Spielberg: "Jeffrey, I read the news from the Los Angeles Entertainment News."

David Geffen: "I heard that you were in a meeting just now, and you scolded them all about this matter?"

Hearing this, Katzenberg said angrily: "Are you here to come to see me making a joke? If so, congratulations, you made it! I am very angry now, more accurately, I am jealous of him Zhuke Wo Erd, I'm going crazy jealously!"

At this moment, Spielberg's complexion was a bit ugly.

Good guy, we are looking for you to solve the problem.

And want to comfort you.

But it's okay for you, spray us directly?

Is there a mistake? !

You must know that Spielberg is currently the world's most famous director and can be called the number one director. Even Cameron, who set a record in film history, is not as famous as his name. He is not a good-tempered person from beginning to end!

Spielberg suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Jeffrey, don't forget, DreamWorks Animation is a member of the DreamWorks Group, and it is an important part. Now the company's "Little Horse King" has failed. , Water World Animation’s "Kung Fu Panda" is gaining momentum, do you think...I have the intention of watching your jokes?"

"Moreover, I am the chairman of DreamWorks Group!"

Katzenberg squinted at Spielberg, his expression full of contempt and disdain.

Am I the chairman of DreamWorks?

What do you want to do?

Crush me? !

First of all, it must be clear that since the establishment of DreamWorks Group, subsidiaries of music, film, animation, distribution, etc. have been formed. However, the most profitable and always profitable department is precisely led by Jeffrey Katzenberg. DreamWorks animation.

"Jeffrey, don't be self-willed, we are talking about business now!" David Geffen said coldly.

As soon as this remark came out, Katzenberg became even more angry.

Kasenberg roared: "I didn't say you are? Which subsidiary of the entire group is losing money every year? Should I say more? Isn't it the music company led by your David Geffen? You still have The face says me? Ha ha, it's a joke!"

"you!"

David Geffen was so angry that his nose was almost flat and crooked.

Katzenberg is not addicted, and then sneered at Spielberg: "If you don't understand me, then let's break up as soon as possible, but... do you have the courage? Haha."

At this moment, Spielberg and David Geffen were silent.

Once upon a time, the three of them had dreams, wanted to break the historical monopoly of Hollywood, wanted to create a new situation, and passionately created the DreamWorks Group.

"We will surely surpass the Big Six in Hollywood and become the greatest entertainment media group!"

This is the slogan at the beginning of DreamWorks' creation.

How exciting!

It is like Don Quixote riding solo towards the windmill, which is admirable and fascinating.

However, everything can't resist the cruelty of reality. As of today, there are conflicts and gaps between the Big Three.

Haha, it's really embarrassing!

.......

at the same time.

Pixar Animation, known as the current "world's number one computer animation" company, now has an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

"As soon as this news report from the Los Angeles Entertainment News came out, I guess... Jeffrey Katzenberg should be angry, and maybe he will continue to curse."

John Lasseter, the leader of the Pixar Five Tigers, said with a smile.

Bingo~

"Man, you are too bad!"

Andrew Stanton gave a thumbs up and smiled: "However, I think you are right. Just because of the dog temper of Jeffrey Katzenberg, he is absolutely angry when he sees "Kung Fu Panda" set a record for sales in the surrounding area. You have to jump your feet, of course you must curse!"

Lasseter: "Say I hurt? You are not a good person either."

Really~

In the office area at this moment, the atmosphere of communication among the executives, directors and animators of Pixar Animation is really good.

The peripheral license turnover of "Kung Fu Panda" exceeds 160 million US dollars. DreamWorks Animation and other colleagues are envious and jealous, but why are the people of Pixar Animation so good?

confidence!

That's right, it's self-confidence!

They have always maintained a strong self-confidence for a bunch of Pixar animations that are linked to the existence of B. They believe that the animation works created by them will surpass the Water World Animation Company!

"Don't forget ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Water World Animation's technical support, currently we still have to rely on us, otherwise their technical level is not as good as DreamWorks." An executive sneered.

Another person laughed and said: "This year, we at Pixar will not have animations to be released. Isn't it because the company's contract with Disney is about to expire, and now they are all talking about it, otherwise... A record company will never let Water World Animation be exclusively beautiful!"

Strong self-confidence permeates the huge office area, and John Lasseter, the leader of the five tigers, also believes that his company will surpass this number.

"Let's take a look at "Kung Fu Panda", how many box offices can it win, and can it match the record set today?"

John Lasseter squinted his eyes.

Andrew Stanton immediately said: "Everyone keeps a low profile. After all, we have not yet reached a new contract with Disney. Well, in Zucker’s words, we have to... what!"

The third update of "" will be sent, and will continue to be updated tomorrow. The author has to go to work, and the supplementation is slower, but I will cheer.
