DreamWorks is going crazy.
For several days in a row, dreamer's big three Spielberg, Jeffrey carsenberg and David Geffen were all red with envy.
A month ago, DreamWorks released its new film "the storm of confrontation". In order to make the film get a high box office and become a savior of a bleak North American film market, DreamWorks has paid a lot.
Spend a lot of publicity funds;
Pay a lot of human feelings;
Even Steven Spielberg, the great director, did not want his face. He flattered the critics and the media without any bottom line.
But what happened?
"Against the storm" movie blood loss!
DreamWorks is completely lost in the 2001 annual U.S. stock market opportunities!
"We failed, but... They succeeded?"
Spielberg gritted his teeth and said, "look at what the media is saying recently? The Savior of Hollywood film market, the only listed animation company in the United States, the first and third film companies in the United States. Oh no, now the ranking of water world animation company is not the third, but the second, which is taken away from us. "
The voice fell.
Jeffrey carsenberg's face was very ugly.
Once upon a time, he was the head of Disney's animation department. But later, he was swept out by Michael Eisner, known as "Disney tyrant"; Since then, he has vowed that he will come back in revenge.
He tried~
He succeeded in making DreamWorks Animation a star in the global animation market!
In particular, in early 2000, "Shrek the monster" was born, which made Jeffrey carsenberg highly recognized by the market and praised by the media.
But now?
At a time when the film market is bleak, water world animation's "flying house" and Pixar Animation's "monster power company" ignite the popularity and reputation of the market as soon as they are released, and the box office growth remains high.
"Now in the eyes of the media and the public, there are only water world animation and Pixar Animation. Where is DreamWorks Animation?"
Carsenberg's strong reluctance almost overflowed.
David Geffen, one of the big three, exhorted: "we can be ourselves."
"Stupid!"
As soon as the words came to an end, Spielberg said, "the market cake is so big, water world and Pixar share so much, where can we have our position?"
"You..."
David Geffen glared at Spielberg.
He didn't expect that Spielberg would not give him face, because he is also one of the major shareholders of the company.
I don't want face!
There is no doubt that the gap between the three giants of DreamWorks has deepened once again.
The conflict and disharmony of words, to tell you the truth, is just an introduction. The key is that DreamWorks is having a hard time now. When the interests are damaged, all kinds of gaps will naturally continue to appear.
At the same time
Blue Sky Studio.
As a subsidiary of 20th century fox, one of the six largest Hollywood companies, it has been engaged in the production of animated films since its acquisition.
Although it only has a short animation film coming out in a few minutes, the animation film ice age, which they are making now, has given them enough confidence after obtaining sufficient funds.
"What?"
"Say it again!"
At the moment, as the founder of blue sky studio, Chris Welch is surprised that there is still a trace of calm.
Carlos sardanha said in a deep voice, "the news is true, and I've just heard it."
Hearing this, Chris Welch's face was full of shock.
Why?
Because not long ago, to be exact, 20 minutes ago, water world animation company and Pixar Animation Company announced their respective news.
The movie "the story of flying house around the world" is sold to 50 states in the United States with a total authorization amount of $140 million;
This achievement has created the highest transaction amount in the history of film peripheral licensing in the United States, breaking a series of records!
Water world animation's last work, Nemo, costs more than US $50 million in peripheral licensing in 50 states.
Below the average level of DreamWorks Animation;
It's much lower than Pixar Animation!
This time, however, the peripheral authorization of 50 States alone is as high as 140 million US dollars, which really makes many people dumbfounded.
"This, this, this... Is incredible!"
"There are 140 million US dollars of peripheral authorization in the United States. If it is converted into countries and regions around the world, don't they want to make a profit?"
At this moment, Chris Welch, the founder of blue sky studio, is really red and red.
Carlos sardanha, co-founder and one of the directors of ice age, said in a quiet voice, "man, you'll be even more choked if you hear about Pixar's monster power."
“......”
Chris Welch's eyes were surprised.
"Five minutes after the announcement of Waterworld animation, Pixar announced that" monster power "animation film has a peripheral authorization amount of 142 million US dollars in 50 states," Carlos said
The voice fell.
Chris Welch doesn't talk anymore, because now he's separated.
Under the influence of 9 / 11 incident, the American film market was completely shocked by the water world animation Pixar Animation!
As the saying goes: "the times make heroes!"
Now water world animation and Pixar Animation, that's it.
Movie box office explosion;
The company's stock price soared, and its market value continued to rise;
The film related peripheral licensing fees also break through the sky!
Dong Dong Dong~~
Just at this time, Rupert Murdoch, one of the six biggest Hollywood companies in the 20th century and the boss of News Corporation, suddenly came to blue sky studio.
"If it's unnecessary, I won't say more."
"I believe you have received the message."
"The ice age animated film must be completed before the end of this year, and it must meet the audience as soon as possible."
Murdoch said coldly: "this market can't only have water world, Pixar and DreamWorks. It must have blue sky studio."
On hearing this, Chris Welch and Carlos were shocked.
They both know that Murdoch's patience is about to be polished. After all, the achievements created by water world and Pixar are amazing!
Lighting and entertainment.
Many people may not know the name of this animation company, but when it comes to the company's two animation works, little yellow man and mean me, many people know it.
Yes, lighting entertainment is the creator of "little yellow man".
However, due to the company's founder, Chris meldandley, who played a hard trick on Zhuke's classmates, the copyright of xiaohuangren may not belong to lighting entertainment.
After all, Zhuke's plagiarism ability is one to one!
"Tut tut ~"
At the moment, Mel dandley looked at the newspaper in shock and exclaimed, "that guy, Jack Wald, has made a lot of money this time after he has been speculating in many military stocks and grain and oil futures after 9 / 11."
The assistant nodded and said: "boss, in a few days, the new year's annual Wealth Report of Forbes will be published. I estimate that this time in the top ten of the United States, there must be him, Jack Wald!"
"The third watch" is here.
Thank you for your cross beheading and bird tour.
