Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Welcome Mr. Zucker Wald, debut~!" Oliver said loudly.

The applause was naturally very warm.

Of the more than 200 viewers who recorded the scene, there was no shortage of people who knew Zhu Ke's name. After all, the "Spartan 300" movie, which has achieved a high box office worldwide, achieved an excellent box office result of 45 million US dollars in the United Kingdom a few months ago.

But...behind the scenes is behind the scenes.

There are many people who know Zucker, but there are more people who don't know Zucker.

For example:

You will know that the highest peak in the world is Mount Everest, but you may not know the second highest peak;

You will have heard that the richest man in the world is Bill Gates, but if you ask you who are the top ten richest people in the world, there are definitely countless people who are deceived;

You know that Marvel's "Avengers 4" took the world by storm and raked in countless dollars, but who is the director? Who is the producer? You ask, how many people know about it?

"Men in Black", "Frozen", "Zootopia", "Joker 2019", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Fast and Furious"......

So many Hollywood movies are famous all over the world!

But... how many people know about the directors, producers, writers and production companies behind it?

Therefore, even if Zucker often becomes news hotspots and headlines, it is limited to the United States, and it is not very easy to use overseas.

"It's not too surprising that you don't know Zucker Wald."

A young man at the recording site said to his bewildered girlfriend: "Zuke Wald is a well-known Hollywood producer and has participated in the production of many popular movies, but he is not in front of the stage after all. It's normal that you don't understand the actor."

"Then how did you know?" the girlfriend asked in astonishment.

"Ha ha!"

The young man immediately smiled and said: "Don't forget, I'm a fan of Manchester City Club, um, my whole family are fans of Manchester City. Zhuke Wald is the current owner of Manchester City Club, do you think I don't know him? "

"No wonder~"

Girlfriend suddenly realized.

The young man said again: "I suddenly remembered "Teletubbies"?"

The girlfriend frowned and said, "Why do you mention it, my sister likes to watch "Teletubbies", but I don't like it."

"Hey!" The young man said proudly: "You may not know that, as the most popular national drama "Teletubbies", its original copyright belongs to him, Zucker Wald."

"Really?!"

Suddenly, the girl looked surprised.

In the whole recording scene, not only the couple were discussing Zhu Ke, but in fact many people were scrambling to communicate at the moment.

Hollywood newcomer;

Well-known screenwriters, producers, directors;

One of the founders of instant messaging software icq;

owner of Manchester City Club;

Behind the scenes of the Harry Potter series;

Shareholders of many well-known Internet companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Yahoo;

America's new media tycoon;

The super rich with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars;

......

One by one, the identities were revealed, the incidents were uncovered, and Zucker's miraculous rise, and sitting on a net worth of tens of billions, made the British who have always had a great pursuit of wealth stunned.

"There are such awesome people in the world?!" a middle-aged lawyer exclaimed.

"Original Chef" program, continue recording~~~

"Mr. Wald, I'm glad you came to our show. I believe it will be a wonderful experience." Oliver with an apron gave a hearty laugh.

"Definitely." Facing the camera, Zu Ke was not afraid.

Oliver nodded, facing the camera and the audience, and said, "The dish we are going to cook today is a classic British dish, and it is also a home-cooked dish that many people in every household will have. It is - Yorkshire Pudding!"

Yorkshire pudding?

Zucker was immediately delighted: "Is that the mudslide known as the pudding world, the Yorkshire pudding that is not sweet in taste, not exquisite in shape, but is a traditional British meal?"

As soon as the words fell, many people in the whole scene burst into laughter.

"You summed it up really well." Oliver smiled wryly.

In the normal concept, puddings are small and delicate, with fragrant and sweet taste, tender and smooth taste, and exist as a kind of beautiful dessert.

Such as custard pudding, coconut pudding, mango pudding...

Each one is heartwarming.

But Yorkshire pudding, it's called pudding, is a mudslide in the pudding world.

Because its shape is very wild, it belongs to completely uncontrolled savage growth, the taste is not sweet, and the taste has nothing to do with tenderness. More importantly, its best match is the barbecue that is basically out of the dessert category. .

That's right, it's barbecue!

"Mr. Wald, it seems that you really know a lot about British cuisine." Oliver smiled.

"fine."

Zucker laughed: "I've heard people say that British cuisine is characterized by simplicity. The ingredients are simple and the way of cooking is simple."

British cuisine can be described as dark cuisine in the world.

Even the local British people hardly recognize the so-called "British cuisine", and many outsiders even scoff at it.

There are only two ways to make it: bake it in the oven, or cook it in a pot. When cooking, do not put any condiments. When eating, add some salt, pepper or mustard, spicy soy sauce, etc. according to personal preferences. .

Well, even the Queen's State Banquet.

Many leaders from various countries and regions in the world who participated in the British state banquet complained that British food was unpalatable.

Oliver spread his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that we are not the only ones who complain about British food, even Mr. Wald in the United States knows its notoriety, and we are also very desperate!"

Zucker laughed.

Many people present also laughed.

There are many locals in the UK who complain that British food is unpalatable, which is their parents' shortcoming.

But... Yorkshire pudding, known as the "pudding mudslide", is not beautiful, but it still tastes pretty good.

Cooking begins...

Oliver made and introduced it, and Zucker played for it.

Of course, Oliver will not forget that Zucker came to the "Original Chef" program to promote "Finding Nemo".

Therefore, in the recording session, the number of times that "Finding Nemo" is mentioned is not small.

It took nearly 3 years, invested nearly 60 million US dollars, more than 420 people participated, and the current box office is as high as 140 million US dollars...

These data are all known in Zucker's mouth.

"Wow~ It seems that Finding Nemo is indeed a favorite animated film by many people?" Oliver pretended to be exclaimed.

"certainly!"

Zucker said: "Since the film was released in North America, apart from the high box office, only the surrounding markets in the United States have sold dolls, clothing, keychains, books, bags, etc. in the past ten days. , as much as hundreds of millions of dollars.”

"so much?!"

At this moment, Oliver, who was mentally prepared, was also shocked.

As a host, he is considered half of the entertainment industry, and he naturally knows that the sales of peripheral products have exceeded 100 million in a short period of time, which is a terrible number.

However, many live audiences do not quite understand.

Zhu Ke immediately introduced: "Everyone knows about "Teletubbies", right?"

National drama!

As you all know, many people nod for it.

"Teletubbies has sold $190 million in peripheral products in its first year since its release in 1996, and the market created by our "Finding Nemo" movie in just a dozen days is already close to it And, I can boldly say that by the end of this year, the sales of peripheral products of "Finding Nemo" will exceed 2 billion US dollars, or even 3 billion US dollars, 4 billion US dollars, 5 billion US dollars!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

No comparison, no harm!

At this moment, everyone who didn't know the power of "Finding Nemo" before has their eyes widened.

Everyone was stunned!

In fact, Zucker belied "Teletubbies" a bit.

The reason why the sales of peripheral products of Teletubbies in the first year is not high is because it was sold in the UK in the first year and did not enter other countries and regions, but what about that?

Anyway, the audience at the scene, they don't know.

So isn't it what Zucker says is what? !
