Hollywood Starts with Animation

Following the Coca-Cola patch, Zucker personally issued a number of orders.

The "Spider-Man" stage play is out again!

Broadway?

NO! NO! NO!

The superhero theme of "Spider-Man" is not suitable for Broadway. The most appropriate is to carry out such "literary and artistic" activities in residential communities.

All over the United States, there is a custom, that is, charity auctions!

Every year, communities across the United States will host some charity auctions. Since they are held by the community, the auction items are naturally very few high-priced artworks, gold and other items, but mostly daily necessities. Well, it's always time to adjust it during the auction.

At this time, the appearance of the stage play is just right! starter

For "Spider-Man", children and teenagers all over the United States like it countless times, even people in their 30s and 40s have no shortage of memories of the past.

"The "Spider-Man" community stage play, we have to do it, and we have to do it in a big way~"

"Before the end of June, our "Spider-Man" stage play must cover at least 1,000 residential communities, with no less than 100,000 viewers."

That's what Zucker told people in the publicity department when he was at the company.

The people in the publicity department of Wald Pictures are not vegetarians either.

One of them said: "Boss, hold a community stage play, we can also contact the federal education department and local education departments to ask them to help endorse it."

Let the education department endorse, platform?

Hearing this, Zu Ke's eyes lit up immediately.

The idea is of course a great one.

Political factors can greatly affect the public, especially the education sector. They have a huge influence on parents with children at home.

Think American comics!

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were rumors in the American education and publishing departments that comics are harmful!

They declared: "Cartoons are violent, bloody, anti-human, and are not conducive to the shaping of children's values!"

As a result, in the 1960s and 1970s, a large number of American comic companies went bankrupt, and the entire industry was extremely depressed, and only a few comic companies survived.

"Hehe~"

Zucker couldn't help laughing and said: "Those people are powerful enough, a few words almost destroyed an industry, and now we want them to endorse, stand on the platform, and promote our "Spider-Man", thinking about it, it feels like a cola!"

Immediately, the entire propaganda department was happy.

The relevant departments of the United States destroyed their own comics, let the Japanese comics rise, and let the comics industry in various countries and regions rise. It has to be said that they took a "wonderful" move.

What is this called?

This is called "selfless" behavior of digging one's own grave, digging one's own corner, and helping other countries rise!

"Don't worry, boss!"

"Today is different from the past. Those guys who used to promote the harmful theory of comics have been swept into the dust of history and nailed to the pillar of shame. As long as we actively contact, I guarantee that they will help us endorse, stand, and promote "" Spider-Man stage play."

"Yes, we have this confidence!"

Everyone, your words and my words, express your confidence.

Zucker is also quite pleased.

In the original time and space,

In addition to the milestone significance of "Blade Warrior" for the adaptation of Marvel Comics, 20th Century Fox, in the promotion of "X-Men", asked relevant departments to help endorse and stand.

"Twentieth Century Fox can, then, there's no reason why I can't!" Zucker thought to himself.

a few days later.

Zucker and News Corp. media mogul Rupert Murdoch, together for dinner.

"Rupert, your 20th Century Fox's X-Men is coming out in July, and my Spider-Man is coming out in August, so we could all work together," Zucker suggested.

Cooperation?

Rupert Murdoch laughed and said: "I don't think there is a need for cooperation! Your "Spider-Man" was released after "X-Men", and it took advantage of me. You are still talking to me about cooperation. , don't you think it's funny?"

Hearing this, Zu Ke immediately scolded an old fox in his heart.

really.......

There is no one who can become a big boss!

Of course, Zhu Ke is not a vegetarian either. Since he dared to ask Rupert Murdoch out for dinner, he naturally came prepared.

"I heard that during the filming of "X-Men", the representatives of the Marvel Company stationed on the crew did a lot of trouble and hinder you." Zucker narrowed his eyes.

Murdoch looked startled: "..."

There are no good people in the business market.

In the 1990s, Marvel sold all the copyrights related to "X-Men" and mutants to 20th Century Fox. It stands to reason that there is no relationship between the two parties.

But obviously not...

For example, in 1998, the "Blade Warrior" produced by New Line Pictures achieved good box office results.

New Line Films eats meat and feasts, while Marvel doesn't even drink soup.

Are you saying that Marvel is psychologically balanced?

Balance the shit!

They are about to die of jealousy!

There are countless things like that.

"X-Men 1", let 20th Century Fox, in just one year, in the box office, peripherals, DVD and video tape market, at least a net profit of 100 million US dollars.

But what about Marvel?

The mere $20,000 was wiped away.

The release of Columbia's "Spider-Man" made Sony hundreds of millions of dollars, and the money allocated to Marvel was only $30,000.

Still that sentence, Marvel's jealousy is about to die!

Of course, they want to cause trouble for the production company, with the idea of ​​"I can't make money, and you don't want to make money." Genius one second to remember 噺バ一Chinese m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

"So, you have a way to make those damn, greedy guys stop for a while?" Murdoch asked.

"certainly!"

Zucker said unceremoniously: "To tell you the truth, at 3 pm tomorrow, I will become a shareholder of Marvel, um, a shareholder with more than 15% of the equity."

Hearing this, Murdoch's eyes lit up immediately.

Zucker continued: "I can't guarantee anything else, but during the release and promotion of "X-Men", I can absolutely guarantee that they will not hold you back!"

"Okay. Then let's work together!"

Murdoch agreed.

He who can become a boss-level figure is naturally not an indecisive master. On the contrary, he is very decisive.

........

Unsurprisingly!

When the news of Wald Pictures and 20th Century Fox's collaboration between "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in the Hollywood industry!

Warner's Barry Mayer: "Damned two guys! Especially Zucker Wald, who first had a patch ad with Coca-Cola, and it was a gambling deal, and now he's got together with Murdoch, What is he going to do?!"

Paramount Shirley Lansing: "He first worked with us at Paramount, and now he's got a deal with 20th Century Fox. That's a duplicity!"

Many people are jealous!

However, more people are jealous and envious!

Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, the parent company behind Wald Pictures, already has a certain degree of media power, and now it has climbed up to News Corporation. It is not difficult to imagine how amazing the publicity of "Spider-Man" will be!

" "The second is sent.
