Hollywood Starts with Animation

Mary, who is only 19 years old this year, jumped up in surprise when she saw John Lasseter admit it.

"awesome!"

"Today is totally my lucky day!"

"On the first day of 2001, I met my idol. I am so happy!"

For a while, the girl Mary couldn't get any more excited.

The boy Brownie is also very excited. Although he is not a fan of John Lasseter or a computer animation design major, he also likes the animated movie "Toy Story".

"Can you sign me?" The girl Mary's eyes were shining.

"certainly!"

John Lasseter let out a hearty laugh and said, "However, do you want my signature alone? Andrew Stanton's signature, do you want it?"

While speaking, Lasseter also looked back at his partner Andrew.

"Uh?"

At this moment, the girl Mary looked away from Lasseter and finally saw the other people in the store clearly.

"My God, you are Andrew Stanton?!" The girl Mary exclaimed again.

Andrew Stanton's status in Pixar Animation Company, dare not say that one person is below ten thousand people, and that is also the animation master second only to John Lasseter.

One of Pixar's Five Tigers, is it a waste of fame?

In 1998, the animated film "A Bug's Life" produced by Pixar was co-directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton.

"That's right, pretty little girl, do you want my autograph?" Andrew laughed.

"Hmm~"

Hearing this, the girl Mary nodded excitedly.

Her boyfriend, Brownie, laughed too.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Zhu Ke coughed lightly and walked over in a timely manner.

"You two, I can also sign." Zhu Ke made a self-proclaimed very warm smile.

However!

Zhu Ke didn't get any response!

Girl Mary: "...."

Boy Brownie: "...."

Well, neither of them knew Zhu Ke at all.

It wasn't until Zhu Ke reported himself to his family that the two of them suddenly realized.

"It turns out that you are Mr. Wald. The single "That Gri" you just released is very good, and many of my friends like it very much." Brownie shouted.

The girl Mary nodded again and again.

The name Zhuke Wald is indeed well-known in the United States, especially among young people, but...not everyone knows, knows, and understands Zhuke. After all, Zhuke is not Everyone loves the dollar. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Computer side:

Well, unless Zhu Ke becomes the richest man in the world!

.........

at the same time.

While Zucker was busy at ThatGril's fashion store, Wald Films was having a New Year's meeting today.

Since the old Bill officially resigned, Kevin Fitch officially took office as the acting president of Wald Films.

Propaganda Executive: Buck Dynon;

Head of Production: Zack Snyder;

Deputy Head of Production: Gavin O'Connor;

 …

wait executives,

Up to 15 people will join this New Year's meeting.

"Everyone, the year 2000 has passed, and the year 2001 has officially arrived!"

Kevin Feige sat at the head, and said loudly: "In the whole year of 2000, we successively produced "Butterfly Effect", "Wrong Turn 3", "Purge of Humanity 2", "Spider-Man", " Movies such as "Harry Potter" have achieved a global box office of more than 1.7 billion US dollars, an increase of 32% compared with 1999. The profitability ranks seventh in Hollywood."

Voice down

Immediately, all the executives present applauded.

Compared with the Big Six in Hollywood, the size of Wald Films is much worse, but the level of profitability is second only to the Big Six. It has to be said that it is indeed a huge miracle.

DreamWorks and MGM?

Ha ha!

The two of them claim to be the top companies under the Big Six in Hollywood. It may be said that the two of them can compete with Wald Films in terms of film financial derivatives, stock market, and peripheral profits, but in terms of box office, the two of them It's really not enough for Wald Films.

The current strength of Wald Films is so powerful!

Of course, it was inevitable that Wald Pictures would be the target of the Hollywood Six. However, with Zhu Ke's current strength, not to mention suppressing the Big Six in Hollywood, he can also single-handedly resist the blow of any of them.

"very good."

Buck Dynon, executive of the publicity department, said with a smile: "Harry Potter has only been released in North America for half a month. high-grossing movie in dollars."

Zack Schneider nodded and agreed: "It is very good. But I still ask, when will the movie "Shark Beach" I shot be released?"

I miss you so much!

The "Shark Shore" movie was approved at the end of 1999 and completed as early as July 2000. This is Zack Snyder's first movie to receive a box office dividend as a director. He is naturally very concerned about it.

"In 1999, we launched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "300 Spartans", "The Blair Witch" and other high-grossing films; in 2000, we launched "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" "Movies. So I want to ask, what movies are we going to shoot in the new year?"

Gavin O'Connor asked.

He is the deputy director of the production department of Wald Films. Since joining the company in 1996, he has participated in the production of many films. He is definitely one of Zhu Ke's most trusted servants.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

In fact, in the original time and space, Gavin O'Connor was one of the very well-known directors and producers in the Hollywood film circle.

In 2011, the movie "Warrior" starring Tom Hardy (played by Venom) was planned and directed by Gavin O'Connor.

Today, the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" that has just started filming is also produced by Gavin O'Connor.

"In the new year, what movie shall we shoot?" Gavin O'Connor asked again.

For a moment, the eyes of all the executives on the scene were focused on Kevin Fitch.

Kevin Fitch smiled, and took out a stack of materials without haste, and the staff distributed them to the hands of every executive.

[Wald Films, shooting plan for the first half of 2001. 】

1. "Dancing Out of My Life" movie;

2. The movie "The Heart of Rage";

3. "Fast and Furious" movie;

 …

8. "Reaper 2" movie;

In the first half of 2001 alone, the new shooting plan of Wald Films included 8 new works in one fell swoop.

If the two films of "The Ninth District" and "The Devil Wears Prada" which are currently being filmed are added, in the first half of 2001, Wald Films will simultaneously shoot 10 films.

"Hiss~"

The executive of the publicity department, Buck Dynon, took a breath and said in astonishment: "We, Wald Films, now have the ability to shoot 10 movies at the same time?"

Other executives also looked at Kevin Feige.

"Ha ha!"

Kevin Fitch smiled and said, "Don't forget, Boss acquired several Hollywood film and television companies in a row half a year ago. It can be said that our dilemma of lack of manpower is gone forever!"

All of a sudden, everyone was excited!

Among the factors restricting the development and growth of Wald Pictures, there is a serious shortage of talents and manpower, which makes it impossible for Wald Pictures to shoot more than 4 films at the same time.

However... there is no shortage of talent and manpower now!

Zach Schneider was pleasantly surprised: "So, we will shoot no less than 15 movies this year."

"That's probably the case." Kevin Feige responded with a smile.

In the first half of the year, 10 movies were shot, and no less than 15 movies were shot in the whole year. Compared with the six big Hollywood movies that shoot more than 20-30 movies a year, there may still be a big gap; but compared with the past The Wald Films, um, or compared with other second- and third-tier film companies, is definitely much better.

High output does not mean high profit.

However, it also shows that Wald Films is walking on a glorious road!
