Chapter 447

Mary, a 19-year-old girl, jumped up in surprise when she saw John lassett admit it.

"Great

"Today is my lucky day!"

"I was so happy to see my idol on the first day of 2001!"

For a moment, the girl Mary was so excited.

The boy Brownie is also very excited. Although he is not a fan of John lassett or a computer animation design major, he also likes the animated film toy story.

"Can you sign it for me?" The girl Mary's eyes are shining.

"Of course!"

John lassett gave a hearty laugh and said, "but only my signature? Andrew Stanton's signature. Do you want it? "

As he spoke, lassett looked back at his partner Andrew.

"Eh?"

To this moment, the girl Mary will look away from lassette, and finally see the other people in the shop.

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

Andrew Stanton's position in Pixar Animation Company, dare not say one person below ten thousand people above, it is also second only to John lassett's animation God.

One of Pixar's five tigers?

In 1998, Pixar produced the animated film "bug crisis", which was jointly directed by John lassett and Andrew Stanton.

"Yes, pretty girl, do you want my signature?" Andrew laughs.

"Well."

Smell speech, girl Mary excitedly repeatedly nod.

Her boyfriend Brownie also laughed.

"Cough!"

At this time, Zhuke coughed softly and came over at the right time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can also sign." Zucker made what he called a very warm smile.

However!

Zucker didn't get any response!

Girl Mary: --

Boy Brownie: "and

Well, they don't know Jack at all.

It was not until Zhuke reported himself that they suddenly realized.

"So you are Mr. Wald. The single" that gri "you just released is very good. Many of my friends like it very much." Cried brownie.

Mary nodded her head.

The name of Zucker Wald is indeed very well known in the United States, especially among young people, but... Not everyone knows, knows and understands Zucker. After all, Zucker is not loved by everyone.

Well, unless Zucker becomes the richest man in the world!

........

meanwhile.

While Zucker is busy with that grill fashion store, Wald pictures is holding a new year's meeting today.

Since bill left the company, Kevin Fitch has been appointed acting president of Wald pictures.

Executive of publicity department: Buck Danon;

Production director: Zach Schneider;

Deputy director of production: Gavin O'Connor;

.......

And so on, executives, up to 15 people, attend this new year's meeting.

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

Kevin Fitzgerald sat at the top and said: "in 2000, we produced butterfly effect, fatal bend 3, human clearance project 2, spider man, Harry Potter and other films successively, with a total of more than US $1.7 billion at the global box office, up 32% compared with 1999. It's seventh in Hollywood in terms of profitability. "

Voice down

All of a sudden, all the executives present applauded.

Compared with Hollywood's top six, the size of Wald pictures is much worse, but its profitability is second only to the top six, which is a huge miracle.

DreamWorks and MGM?

ha-ha!

They are known as the top six companies in Hollywood. They may be able to compete with Wald in film derivatives, stock market and peripheral profits, but they are really not good enough for Wald in box office.

The current strength of Wald pictures is so powerful!

Of course, Wald film will inevitably become the target of Hollywood's six major attacks. However, with Zhuke's current strength, not to mention the suppression of Hollywood's six, but also can resist the attack of any one of them.

"Very good."

"Harry Potter has only been released in North America for half a month. After a while, it is a high box office movie with a global box office of more than 500 million US dollars, even 600 million US dollars or 700 million US dollars," said buck Dainong, an executive of the publicity department with a smile

Zach Schneider nodded and said, "it's good. But I still want to ask, "when will my movie shark beach be released?"

Heart and soul!

Shark beach was approved at the end of 1999 and finished in July 2000. This is Zach Schneider's first box office bonus as a director. Naturally, he is very concerned about it.

"In 1999, we launched such high box office films as my grand Greek wedding, 300 Spartan warriors and the witch Blair; In 2000, we launched spider man and Harry Potter movies. So I want to ask, "what movies are we going to make in the new year?"

Gavin O'Connor asked.

He is the deputy director of the production department of Wald pictures. Since he joined the company in 1996, he has been involved in the production of many films. He is absolutely one of the most trusted meritorious officials of Zhuke.

In fact, in the original space-time, Gavin O'Connor is one of the most famous directors and producers in the Hollywood film circle.

In 2011, Gavin O'Connor planned and directed the movie warrior, starring Tom Hardy.

Now, Gavin O'Connor is also the producer of the just started movie queen in Prada.

"What movies are we going to make in the new year?" Gavin O'Connor asked again.

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

Kevin Fitch smiles and takes out a stack of materials, which are distributed to every executive by the staff.

Wald pictures, first half of 2001

1. Dancing out of my life;

2. The movie "anger attacking the heart";

3. Speed and passion;

.......

8. Death is coming 2;

Just in the first half of 2001, Wald pictures' new shooting plan included eight new works at one stroke.

If we add in the two films currently being shot, District 9 and the queen in Prada, Wald pictures will have to shoot 10 films at the same time in the first half of 2001.

"Hiss ~"

Buck Danon, an executive of the publicity department, took a breath and said in dismay, "we Wald pictures are now capable of making 10 films at the same time?"

Other executives are also looking at Kevin Fitch.

"Ha ha!"

Kevin Fitch said with a smile: "don't forget that boss acquired a number of Hollywood studios six months ago. It can be said that the plight of our lack of manpower is gone forever! "

For a moment, everyone was so excited!

One of the factors restricting the development of Wald film industry is the serious lack of talents and manpower, which makes it impossible for Wald film industry to shoot more than four films at the same time.

However... Now there is no shortage of talents and manpower!

Zach Schneider was pleasantly surprised: "so, we're making no less than 15 movies this year."

"Probably." Kevin Fitch responded with a smile.

Ten films were shot in the first half of the year, and no less than 15 films were shot in a whole year. Compared with the six major Hollywood films, which often shoot more than 20-30 films a year, there may be a big gap; However, compared with the past Wald film industry, well, or compared with other second - and third tier film companies, it definitely exceeds a lot.

High output does not mean high profit.

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