Chapter 323

Two animated feature films at the same time?

Lack of people, that's for sure!

So far, water world animation company has more than 500 people, excluding logistics, management and other non animation professionals, there are only more than 400 people.

Based on the follow-up drama of piggy page and SpongeBob SquarePants, two animations of Kung Fu Panda and flying house globe are launched at the same time. At least 200 people are needed.

"Boss, this is a three-year staffing cycle based on the production time. If you want to shorten the number of years, then the minimum staffing for each group is 350-400 people, or even more." Stephen sollenberg said.

Zucker nodded.

Or that sentence, the lack of people to recruit!

The first goal is to get people out of melender's team!

"In addition to these animated films, team 2 and I plan to open up an animated film with music theme in the near future," said David meissel

Music animation movie?

"What's your name?" Zhuke is curious.

"Crazy Bates!" David meissel responded.

what is it?

In a moment, David Messer told Zucker.

"Crazy Bates" animation film, proposed by David meissel, is an animation project jointly carried out with Bates doll factory. The estimated production cost is US $30 million, which aims to promote Bates dolls. Of course, the script produced by a group of writers led by David meissel is also very good.

"I remember that your proposals were submitted to victor and me three days ago. I haven't had time to read them. The documents are still in my office." It suddenly dawned on juke.

What can Zhuke do?

Yes, of course!

As a passer-by, Zhuke has naturally seen many excellent animated films in the future, but he is very pleased that his generals can play their own initiative and not rely on themselves.

But... Again!

How many people does crazy Bates need?

How long is the production cycle?

These problems are unavoidable facts!

Animation film production cycle is long, has been an important factor limiting the development of animation industry.

Think of today's Pixar Animation Company, the company's personnel add up to thousands of people; And in the near future, it will continue to expand. By 2010, Pixar Animation will have more than 3000 employees.

Animation industry is quite a talent quality and quantity and industry!

The meeting continued its discussion~

Finally, Zhuke and others set a tone.

1, "pig piggy" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" two animation dramas, to maintain the content of a year and a quarter production;

2. We started the animation production of crazy Bates, invested 30 million US dollars, and expected to complete the release at the end of 2001;

3. The production cost of Kung Fu Panda is tentatively set at 130 million US dollars and is expected to be released in 2003;

4. The production cost of the movie is tentatively set at $160 million and is expected to be released in 2004;

5. The script of "Nemo 2" has been revised and is expected to be completed and released in 2005;

"Go public! Go public! Go public

"Recruit! Recruit! Recruit

These two words seem to become the main work of water world animation company.

........

Two days later.

His full name is Chris meledandelli. There is a former head of the animation department of fox pictures, who is known as "meledandelli". Just a few days after he was happy, his face is full of haze.

"Old man, please ~ I just came back from Munich, Germany to negotiate investment. You should be happy. Why do you have a bad face?"

The speaker is a middle-aged man who is nearly 50 years old. His name is Leo Nix. He is meledand's partner for many years. He has a right-hand existence and is also a member of the original fox animation department.

"Ah ~ ~!"

Hearing the speech, meledand sighed: "old man, I'm not aiming at you. Just look at these letters."

Letters?

Leo Nix's smiling face was full of doubts.

But... Soon he couldn't laugh!

"Job hopping?"

"Damn it, Shirley, mondo, keville, abaz, cordian... They are going to turn their back on us and choose to join the water world animation company?"

"Asshole!"

"A bunch of ungrateful bastards!"

Leo Nix was very angry at the moment. He was always in a bad temper. He tore these letters to pieces and trampled on the ground repeatedly.

Trample and abuse.

"A bunch of assholes. No, I'll go to them now. I'll see if these bastards have the face to face me! In particular, mondo and Kewell are my students. I have worked hard to teach them skills. They dare to betray me. I will never forgive them. "

Leo Knicks was furious.

After that, he was ready to make a phone call, but was stopped by melender.

"Don't call. If they want to go to Waterworld animation, let them go. Don't forget, we can't get into trouble with that guy, chuck Wald." Mellender sank.

Can't be provoked?

Leo Knicks was immediately discouraged.

After playing with Zhuke, a 10 billion rich man, he has already offended him severely. If he still dares to be a moth now, then Zhuke's anger is definitely not something that melender and Leo can bear?

However, their hearts are bleeding!

117!

In just two days, water world animation company, relying on its strong financial resources and employee benefits, robbed 117 of them, accounting for one third of the total number.

Among them, many key personnel and talented designers are pried away.

"We will not be able to get revenge in a short time." Melerdander's face was heavy.

"Ha ha!"

Leo Nix sneered and said, "do you expect revenge? I think we should be ready for revenge. That guy, Jack Wald, is a sure eye

Mell danderton is a stopgap.

In fact, because of the digging action of water world animation, some people in melender's team are in a state of panic and unrest.

Not everyone can afford the Revenge of a ten billion rich man!

.......

meanwhile.

Zucker also received a call from David meissel, vice president of water world animation.

"You can't treat the people who are dug up from meledand team differently. After all, the people who have enemies with us are meledand and Leo, not them."

It took more than ten minutes for the call to end.

Dong Dong Dong~

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Chuck said one.

It is the CEO victor of Golden Dawn entertainment group, second only to Zhuke.

"Boss, this is the list of movie companies that I have recently drawn up to acquire and invest in overseas countries and regions. You can have a look first." Said Victor.

Smell speech, Zhu Ke takes over immediately.

Acquisition and shareholding of overseas film companies in various countries and regions is a continuous project of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group in recent years, which aims to improve overseas distribution channels.

"Not bad."

Zucker nodded: "although I warned greedy dealers and distributors when I went to London last time, gluttonous dogs are gluttonous dogs. They can never change the nature of greed. If we can't establish our own distribution channels, sooner or later we will suffer losses. "

The overall box office share of Wald film's overseas channels in various countries and regions is 31%, far lower than 35% ~ 38% of the six major Hollywood outlets.

In short, Zucker gives up a lot of money every year!

How can Zhuke, who regards money as his life, be willing to be sucked by others?

"How much money does it need to acquire and take shares in these film companies? Has financial accounting been done?" Asked Zucker.

"160 million dollars!"

Victor said in a deep voice: "as long as we complete this operation, our overall share of overseas box office will rise by 2 points to 33%."

Zucker agreed without hesitation.

For the future, it's absolutely worthwhile to spend more money at this stage!

"The first watch" is presented.
