Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 11: Soaring net worth

   Since the release of "Toy Story", the box office has risen steadily.

   In just three days, that is, the first weekend, its cumulative box office reached 68.25 million US dollars.

   Word-of-mouth and influence gradually increased, which made Zhu Kele a flower. Because the turnover of the SpongeBob Squarepants store chain in these three days has exceeded one million US dollars, which is higher than the turnover of the previous month.

  Zuke is happy, but the owners of movie-peripheral chain stores in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are a little bit unable to sit still.

   That's right.

   Actually, as early as one day after "Toy Story" was released, many people found Zhu Ke and wanted to obtain authorization from the surrounding state, but they were all frightened by Zhu Ke's asking price.

   "Zuke, you damn, black-hearted bastard, you ask for such a high price, are you slaughtering us like fish? You bastard." The owner of one of the surrounding chain stores yelled.

Ha ha!

   To him, Zhu Ke cursed in turn: "Fuck off you!"

   However.

   just this morning.

   The boss who cursed Zhu Ke face-to-face, along with the owners of surrounding chain stores in other states, and more than thirty people, appeared at Zhu Ke's door.

   "Mr. Wald, good morning!"

   "I have long heard that Mr. Wald is young and promising. I saw it today and it was so!"

   "Little George, aren't you talking nonsense?"

   "That is, before the release of "Toy Story", Mr. Wald dare to bet that it will explode. With this courage and courage, how can you compare to little George."

   As expected, they are all businessmen, and their verbal skills are so amazing.

   Ha ha, anyway, at no cost, how about a few nice words?

   "Well, everyone, I know what you are here for today. Then I won't go around in circles, and I will try to set the authorization today. After all, if you have money, everyone can make money together."

  Zuke has no time to circle with them and make a quick decision!

   Get the authorization done one day earlier, and make money one day earlier.

   After all, Pixar Animation will be available soon. Compared with the profits obtained by peripheral licenses, Zhuke obviously values ​​Pixar's listing more, which is ten times the profit!

  Since there was a negotiation, Zhuke called Kangdi immediately.

   Kangdi is very capable, and the charge is not high, why not use it?

  ...

   "Mr. Barnett, congratulations, you have obtained a five-year license for the "Toy Story" movie in Nevada." Zhu Ke said with a smile, and pointed to the lawyer beside him.

   "Thank you Mr. Wald."

  Barnett is the owner of the largest movie-peripheral chain in Nevada, with 19 stores. Originally, Zhuke didn't look down on Zhuke. Now he can only grit his teeth in order to make money.

   "Damn bastard, for five years of authorization, he actually asked me 1.3 million dollars and said it was sold to me at a low price." Barnett cursed inwardly.

   After cursing in his heart, Barnett gritted his teeth and looked at Condy with a ‘I’m sincere’.

   "This guy is also a bastard."

   The two **** joined forces, enough to shock the old foxes present.

  ...

   "Mr. Wald, next time we meet, we must have a good chat and make a fortune together!" said a blessed old white man.

  His name is Billy Jarder, and he is the owner of a movie store chain in Utah.

  Although his chain store is not the largest in Utah, it is even less than the top five, with only 9 stores, but Zhuke still sold the authorization to him, who made him the highest bid.

  1.5 million dollars!

   "I like this kind of courageous person, dare to fight "Toy Story"."

   I have to say that Zhuke somewhat likes old Billy's decisiveness.

  ...

   Nevada, Arizona, and Utah movies are licensed around the three states. Zhuke is one state from one state, and in California, where Los Angeles is located, hehe, Zhuke is sold in one city by one city.

   Especially in downtown Los Angeles, Zhuke didn’t even want to sell it!

   "In other areas, I don't have a store, but in Los Angeles, what's wrong with the exclusive business?" Zhuke is so practical.

   For a whole day, Zhuke and Condy were wrangling with them.

   Until 9 o'clock in the evening, all the licenses were sold. Although Zhuke and Condy were almost exhausted, their expressions couldn't help but a burst of excitement.

  565 million dollars!

   The result of the battle is outstanding!

  "Zuke, you are really making a lot of money. In just two months, the authorization of 800,000 US dollars has doubled seven times, not counting the peripheral products you sell these days!"

   After everyone left, Condy began to chatter.

   "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

   Zhuke interrupted: "I said, buddy, I will accept all your praise, but... I want to add money, but there is no door!"

   Hearing this, Kangdi jumped up immediately and yelled: "You vampire, am I such a person? You can doubt my character, but you can't question my professional ethics."

   "Well, I'm sorry, I apologize!" Zhu Ke said sincerely.

   "Uh..." Kangdi was dumb on the spot, yelling angrily: "You bastard, you really don't add money!"

   After a long time of wrangling, Zhuke was in a good mood and added $100 to him, for a total of $2,100 in service charges.

   After Kandy got up and left, Zhuke couldn't help jumping up.

   "Yes! This time it's a real profit!"

   "Only the peripheral authorization of "Toy Story", including the sales of local peripheral products in Los Angeles in the next month, is estimated to bring more than 7 million U.S. dollars in revenue."

   "Well, there will be the next Pixar launch, so I can't miss it."

   This evening, Zhuke thought a lot. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

  Hollywood still thinks about the most.

   Yes, Zhuke has already decided. After deciding to make a big deal on the Pixar listing, he bought a small Hollywood film company and made money from making movies.

   "Although I was in logistics in my previous life, I graduated from the director department anyway. Even if I haven't made a film seriously, it seems that it is not difficult to make some low-cost films."

   Do it as you go, always in Zucker's style.

   "Lola Run" is Zhuke's choice of movie.

   The movie tells the story of Laura who runs to save her boyfriend and gets 100,000 marks within 20 minutes.

  Lola and Manny are a pair of young lovers in their early 20s. Manny is a scumbag. One day he got into a big trouble and lost the smuggled 100,000 mark! And his boss, who had to come and get the money back in 20 minutes, the cowardly Manny had to ask Laura for help.

   This film contains elements of time and space travel, butterfly effect, feminism, etc., and has the potential to sell well.

   Moreover, the film was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in 1998, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award and many other nominations, and also won the 1999 Saint Denis Grand Prix.

   "The film has a good reputation, but the most important thing is its low cost!"

   That's right, the first thing Zhu Ke currently considers is low cost.

   "Well, there is also the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants". Since the system has provided a full set of materials, we can't let it go, we must get it as soon as possible."

   "No, I can still get the title of "Father of SpongeBob SquarePants" in the future. It's pretty good."

  Zuke triumphantly: "I'm such a clever ghost!"
