Chapter 572

“boss！”

"Mr. Wald!"

"Chairman!"

......

All kinds of appellations are the labels on Zhuke. Just entering the water world animation, Zhuke was warmly welcomed by all staff.

"Welcome, boss. Believe me, you won't be disappointed by the animated movie "flying house and the world."

Stephen solenberg, CEO of Waterworld animation, gave Zucker a big hug.

Zhuke pushed him away with disgust: "good guy, you are in your forties. You jumped at me as soon as you saw me. You made me do evil."

Stephen solenberg responded unconcerningly: "Zucker, hugging has nothing to do with age."

The relationship between them is very good and they often joke with each other.

Sometimes, Stephen didn't hurt Zucker face to face.

Chief playwright and vice president David meissel joined in: "I wanted to hug, but boss is right. You are not a beautiful woman, but a man with hormone burst."

After a joke, everyone got to the point.

Today, Zhuke came to water world animation company, but he didn't just come here to talk nonsense.

At the end of 1999, the animated film "flying house around the world" was completed a week ago.

Well, it's always on.

"Oh? You mean, you've got the release license and the film association rating Zhuke was slightly surprised.

Stephen sollenberg nodded: "the rating given by the film society is g."

Under the North American film rating system, the G level is the popular level, which can be watched by all age groups without age restriction.

"Boss, do you think the classification of the film association is going well this time?" he said with a smile

"That's right!"

Zucker nodded.

The American Film Association holds the right to grade under the grading system.

Grade g (public), PG, PG-13, R, NC-17

Clearly defined the viewing age and viewing scale.

In the first half of 2001, Wald film suffered from different degrees of pressure and exclusion from its peers, including the rating of the film association.

"Shark Beach", "District 9" and other films produced by Wald pictures in the first half of the year were targeted more than once when they submitted the materials for film rating procedures.

"Columbia, Warner, universal, Disney, fox, paramount and MGM are the seven film companies that control the right to grade all films in North America. Even though I have a good relationship with Fox and paramount, our films still encounter discrimination and repression. So I am very surprised to hear that the grading of the story of the flying house is so smooth. "

Zhuke expressed his doubts.

what?

You said that "the story of the flying house" is just a simple animated film, which does not involve blood and violence. The film association has no reason to get stuck.

Ha ha, I think too much!

As long as seven film companies like Columbia and Disney are willing, they have a hundred ways to hold your film.

Stephen solenberg suddenly said with a smile, "boss, you have forgotten a little, a very important point."

"What?" Zucker was curious.

"Boss, we water world animation is now a listed company. Even though the parent company, Jin Shuguang entertainment group, still holds a huge majority of shares and voting rights, the company has more than 35% of the shares, which are circulating shares."

"Many of these circulating stocks are controlled by Wall Street investment banks and major investment institutions, and their energy is not low."

"If the release of the story of the flying house is blocked, their interests will naturally be affected."

At the end of the speech, Zhuke suddenly realized.

As soon as Zhu Ke patted his forehead, he said to himself, "I'm so busy and confused. It seems that I haven't paid attention to water world animation recently."

Up to now, Zhuke is no longer alone.

As far as water world animation is concerned, almost all the senior and key personnel in the company are shareholders. The difference is only the number of shares they hold. A large number of investment institutions holding shares of water world animation company are naturally Zucker's allies.

At least in terms of interests, Zhu has won a lot of people.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there is nothing to see, but the future is an era of strong alliance and group warming.

Fighting alone will only make your own road narrower and narrower!

......

"Now let's make sure when the movie" flying house "will be released?"

Juke looks around.

For the upcoming animated movie "flying house around the world", Zhuke is very looking forward to it.

The film tells the story of an old man who once made an appointment with his wife to travel to a waterfall located in remote South America. However, he was unable to make the trip because of his busy life. When his wife died and the government wanted to demolish his old house, he made an amazing decision.

He tied thousands of balloons to the roof and flew into the air with the foundation. He flew to South America to fulfill the promise he made to his wife many years ago.

The film, released in 2009, was created by Pixar Animation at a cost of $175 million. Once it was released, its reputation exploded at the box office.

The global box office took us $735 million;

In terms of Oscar Awards, it also won the best animated feature film award.

"Happiness is not immortality, it's not big fish, it's not power."

"Happiness is the fulfillment of every tiny wish in life. You have something to eat when you want to eat and someone to love you when you want to be loved."

Many times, the classic lines in the animated movie "the story of the flying house and the world" make Zhuke feel deeply.

This animated film is also an unforgettable classic among a series of Pixar Animation Works.

"First of all, we need to make clear the fact that Pixar's Movie Monster power has been tentatively scheduled for Thanksgiving this year. Are we avoiding or facing a challenge?" said David meissel, vice president of Pixar Animation

Pixar Animation is undoubtedly the best animation company in the world.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "what about avoidance, what about positive challenges?"

"I don't support the release of monster power company at the same time, even if our" flying house "is good enough. But... I still think it can be released at the same time, competing for the height. "

“......”

The executives present were a little surprised.

CEO sollenberg: "we're going to be released at the same time as Pixar Animation, and the box office is bound to be affected."

Pixar Animation this mountain, is not easy to challenge!

Many executives want to talk but stop. They think it's better to avoid.

make love!

At this time, Zhuke suddenly clapped.

Zucker looked at David meissel with a happy smile: "I support your idea!"

“......”

For a moment, executives became more confused.

"Is that true?" sollenberg hesitated

"Of course!"

Zhuke said without hesitation: "our ranking of water world animation is lower than Pixar Animation. If we win the box office battle, we will definitely make a lot of money; If you lose, why not? We're a little worse than Pixar. "

You think I'll lose, but I'll never lose.

Since the rise of Pixar Animation, countless animation companies want to challenge its position, but what's the result? No one is a fiasco!

Even Jeffrey carsenberg of DreamWorks, he has more than once clamored that "DreamWorks will surpass Pixar and replace his dominant position in the industry."

But what about reality?

DreamWorks Animation Works, never dare with Pixar Animation Works released at the same time!

"No one wants to be the second or the third, as long as we win, we are the first, we are the industry leader!" he said

Don't give me advice, do it rashly!

You know, in the original time and space, the story of flying house belongs to Pixar Animation, but it was cut off. Now it belongs to water world animation company.

Take Pixar's work to the hard bar Pixar's work, Zhuke thought it was very good!

"The first watch" is presented.
