Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Your name is Charlize Theron, from South Africa?"

Zuke looked strangely at the blond woman in her 20s who was dressed in a rustic style.

"Yes, boss, my current occupation is an actor, but don't worry, I'm just a character actor, um, that is, an extra. I only need to go to acting school at night, and it will never affect my work during the day. "Charlize Theron said hastily.

She just debuted, and she really didn't have the domineering power of the emperor later. She had no money in her pocket and urgently needed a job.

She was really afraid that Zucker would reject her.

Weed!

Really the king!

Charlize Theron, one of the representatives of Hollywood female actors, just participated in the movie in 1995, but she was just an extra, but in 2003, she was promoted to the Oscar for the subversive movie "The Devil". After that, he has appeared in many films such as "Full Name Superman Hancock", "Snow White and the Huntsman", "Fast and Furious 8" and so on.

The global Forbes star income list released in 2019 ranks ninth among female actors.

Thinking of this, Zu Ke not only clicked his tongue.

Although it has been confirmed that she is Charlize Theron, Zucker was a little surprised at the beginning, and soon recovered his calm.

"I've already seen Steve Jobs and John Lasseter. What's so surprising, um, so beautiful." Zucker thought.

"Boss, don't worry, I work very hard, I will not disappoint you."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now Charlize Theron is like this.

"Okay, I can accept you to work for me, with a weekly salary of $400, a three-month probation period, $500 a week after the regularization, bonus at the end of the month, and sales commission. If you can, come to work next Monday." Zucker said directly.

"No problem, I can do it."

A weekly salary of $400 was not low in the US service industry in 1995. Of course, it was actually the average level, not to mention bonuses and sales commissions. Charlize Theron, who was in desperate need of money, certainly would not refuse.

Seeing her promise, Zu Ke couldn't help thinking: "Don't think that if you are a beauty, you can get more money from me, don't even think about it, I'm just so realistic."

Note alone!

The recruitment process went very smoothly. In just one day, Zuke recruited more than 20 employees. On average, there were more than 3 employees in each store.

"There are more than 20 people, and each month's labor costs are in the early 30,000 US dollars!"

Zhu Ke couldn't help but miss the labor cost of the Great Celestial Dynasty, which was a cheap one.

......

8pm that night.

Zucker's house.

"Boss, I have confirmed the progress of the project. In three days, that is, this Friday, all stores will be renovated." James Sean said excitedly.

He couldn't help being excited. James was the manager of one of the stores, and he was also the manager of the main store of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

If you do well, with your old resident status, it is impossible to go further.

Simply beautiful!

"Well, it looks like I have to hurry up."

Zucker instructed: "James, you have to work harder these days and focus more on the progress and quality of the project. I will contact a few toy stores in Los Angeles and try to sign a toy OEM contract before Friday."

"Okay." James nodded.

These days, Zucker has been busy.

It was toy OEM and purchase, contacted other film companies, and obtained peripheral authorizations for their related movies, including business licenses, water and electricity, etc., and it was dark and dark. Fortunately, in his previous life, he was doing logistics, otherwise it would be really difficult to get it done in just a few days.

"Ding dong!"

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a new system package, please pay attention to check it! 】

"Wocao, the system is alive, I thought you were already dead."

That's right, since the rebirth, the system has only appeared once, and Zhu Ke has long forgotten it. He didn't expect to deceive the body suddenly today.

"James, come here today, just come and report once a day." Zucker hurriedly saw off the guest.

James Sean, after leaving, Zucker turned on the system for the first time.

【Confirm to open! 】

[Congratulations to the host, I have obtained a copy of the "SpongeBob SquarePants" animated series, which has been implanted in the host's mind. 】

Boom boom boom! ! !

Before Zu Ke could react, a flood of memories flooded into his mind, and he almost fainted in pain.

"Poor review! It must be a bad review! The experience is too bad."

After recovering, Zhu Ke scolded for the first time.

It hurts so much!

However, after checking the relevant memories of "SpongeBob SquarePants", Zucker didn't have time to wrestle with the system.

So delicious!

The memory in my mind not only includes the pictures and sounds of the more than 100 complete integrated films of "SpongeBob SquarePants", but also includes the information of the producer Stephen Hillenburg and other related personnel.

"The information is so complete that it can be completed in just a few months!" Zu Ke was very excited.

Can you not be excited?

That's SpongeBob SquarePants!

Even if it is not as fast as the animated movies such as "Cars" and "Peppa Pig", the money-making ability is not bad, at least it will bring Zucker more than 40 million US dollars in profits, not to mention its impact. strength.

"SpongeBob SquarePants" is also part of Zucker's childhood!

At the moment, Zucker couldn't help but make a decision.

"I'm going to set the name of the chain store around the movie as SpongeBob SquarePants, which seems to be good."

Well, although the name of the chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants is not very good, it is much better than the "Zuck's Store" before.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was September 10, 1995.

Chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants are officially open for business. And seven stores in Los Angeles are open at the same time!

Although Zucker was reticent in high school, he still had some friends, so all those people came, there were more than 30 men and women, including a beautiful and beautiful teacher at the school; of course, Zucker and James ·Neighbors from the street where Sean lived also came a lot.

Not only that, but former ace negotiator Kandy, he's also here.

"Hey, hey, I said buddy, you come empty-handed when everyone else brings gifts?" James scolded Candy.

Candy smiled and said, "James, I'm not like them, I'm a layman. I'm here with a sincere heart."

"Seriously, don't you just have no money, isn't it interesting to say this?" Before James could speak, he was interrupted by Zucker.

Time ticks by.

More than two months have passed, and the business of Zhu Ke's chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants is not very good. Compared with other old-fashioned surrounding stores, there is no advantage at all. Besides, there is also the shit-like decoration.

On this day, James Sean found Zucker full of worry.

"Boss, the toy factory just called and said that our goods have filled five warehouses. If we don't give money, we will go to the Los Angeles District Court to sue us."

"Shit!"

Zucker scolded: "James, you tell them, you don't want to die if you want money."

"Is there really no problem?" James couldn't help worrying.

To be honest, the salary that Zhu Ke gave him is really not low. If he lost this stable job, what should he do with his paralyzed mother and young sister at home?

"Don't worry, man, to know that "Toy Story" will be released tomorrow, I must make a lot of money back from the money that I lost in the past few months." Zu Ke couldn't help clenching his fists.

What is the loss of a few months?

"Toy Story", the first 3D animated feature film, was the box office champion in North America this year!
