Hollywood Starts with Animation

The next day.

　　 The Burbank headquarters of the Disney Group.

　　 That's right, Burbank headquarters. Because the Disney Group has two headquarters in the United States, one is located in the Burbank area of ​​Los Angeles and the other is located in New York.

California, Idawa, New York, Washington, Pennsylvania... Owners and representatives of movie peripheral chain stores from various major states and major cities attended the peripheral authorization of "Bug Crisis" Bidding meeting.

　　Well, Zhuke did not attend in person, but asked Kevin Fitch, the vice president, to attend on his behalf.

　　 "Kevin, your boss, Zhu Ke, are you really not optimistic about the surrounding market of "Bug Crisis"?" Old Billy asked again.

　　 "It can't be said that it is not optimistic, but the boss said that "Bug Crisis" is tasteless." Kevin Fitch said.

　　 Chicken ribs?

　　 Well, as one of the representatives of the rough guy and the illiterate, old Billy doesn’t understand it at all!

“It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away. This is a tasteless one. The movie "Bug Crisis" is very good, and the response from the surrounding market is not bad. It is understandable for the major surrounding chain stores to make a fortune, but this premise It's the benchmark "Toy Story." Do you think "Bug Crisis" can match or surpass "Toy Story"?" Kevin Fitch said solemnly.

　　 "This...this should be ok." Old Billy was not sure.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch shook his head and said: "At the beginning of the period, I held the same judgment as you, thinking that "Bug Crisis" will inherit the glory of "Toy Story", and even surpass it. But my boss Wald , But said it could not be surpassed, and the global box office was at most 200 million US dollars.

　　 There is actually one more sentence that Zhuke did not say to Kevin Fitch.

　　——The protagonist of the "Bug Crisis" animation is a few bugs!

　　 Pixar Animation designed their image to be very cute, and the fate of the characters also moved many people. That's right. However... they are still bugs!

　　 How many children would like dolls like caterpillars and ants?

　　 does not deny that there will be, but compared with "Toy Story", this number is definitely lower than that!

　　 For a while, old Billy fell into thought.

　　 He glanced at the crazy crowd who wanted to participate in the auction at all costs, and thought about the miracles of Zhuke in the past two years, which made him very entangled.

　　 "Forget it, I won't fight this time."

　　 "Anyway, I have already obtained the authorization of "Peppa Pig" in Utah. One less "Bug Crisis", I can make some money."

　　 "But once "Insect Crisis" is really scammed, there will definitely be a large group of people who will die."

　　 Old Billy thought a lot in his mind in a short period of time.

　　 It didn’t take long...

　　 The peripheral authorization of "Bug Crisis" officially kicked off under the auspices of an executive of the copyright department of the Disney Group.

　　 Utah area, the surrounding authorized price is 950,000 US dollars.

　　 "I'll pay 950,000!" A potbellied businessman first said.

　　His name is Francis, and he runs a chain store in Utah. The scale is no less than that of the old Billy, and even better.

　　 "Francis, you are too stingy. At a loss, you are still running 10 nearby chain stores. Look at my offer. I have a chain store around Monel, and I bid $1.5 million!" a young man said loudly.

　　 Wow!

　　In an instant, not only Francis was shocked, but the owners of the surrounding chain stores were also shocked.

　　 Didn't do anything about it, right?

　　I pushed the price to such a high price from the very beginning, how can I still play below?

　　 "Monel, you bastard!" Francis cursed immediately.

　　 As a young man, Monel, how could he stand this anger, and immediately cursed back: "Old guy, get out if you have no money."

　　 Between peers, that's it!

　　 What's more, they are still competing in the same Utah state, and the hatred is gone!

　　 The next moment, several other surrounding chain store owners in Utah, except for the old Billy, joined the fight with red eyes.

　　1.6 million!

　　1.75 million!

　　1.9 million!

　　...

　　 In the end, it was the young man Monel who had the courage and bid $3 million to win the license of "Bug Crisis" in Utah.

　　 "The price is really not low!"

　　Kevin Fitch took a breath of air on the spot. He finally knew why his boss was so obsessed with animation theater movies.

Old Billy on the side also gritted his teeth: "Two years ago, I took the authorization of "Toy Story" in Utah from Zhuke. It was only 1.5 million US dollars. I did not expect that the "Toy Story" has not yet been released and has an unclear prospect. "Bug Crisis" doubled the price."

　　 After the movie is released, it is the same as before the release, but the two concepts are definitely not the same in price.

　　 In the following time, the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania, Missouri, Nevada and other places have been authorized to start shooting.

　　Pennsylvania, peripheral authorized sales of 2.7 million US dollars!

　　 Missouri, sold for $1.6 million;

　　 Nevada, sold for 2.4 million US dollars;

　　...

　　 The two-hour auction finally came to an end.

　　 In the end, the Disney Group sold $117.5 million in only 50 U.S. states at an average price of $2.35 million per state.

　　Remember, this is only the income from the surrounding authorization of the United States!

　　If you are calculating the income of overseas countries, you can imagine the income authorized by Disney and Pixar around the "Bug Crisis".

　　 hasn't been released yet, the production cost of the movie has all come back, and it has made a lot of money.

　　At this moment, that is, Zhu Ke is not here, otherwise he will definitely curse...Oh no, I am envious!

　　In the original time and space history, after the release of "Bug Crisis", the North American box office performance fell short of expectations, and overseas was even more bleak. It really made the dealers who won the authorization of the states and surrounding areas regret it.

　　 One by one, I'm so old and miserable!

　　 "A few months later, maybe a few surrounding chain stores went bankrupt or closed down."

　　 Zhu Ke, who received the news, not only said quietly afterwards.

　　...

at the same time.

　　 Zhuke is currently on the filming scene of the movie "300 Spartan". The character shot today is a guest star of Hollywood celebrities.

　　 Matt Damon, played the Persian messenger who came to Sparta at the beginning of the movie.

　　 "The humble mortals, the Spartans who wish to live, surrender to His Majesty Xerxes, the King of Kings!"

　　 However, Matt Damon hadn't been arrogant for long before he was kicked over by King Leonida!

"Do not!"

　　 "You can't kill me!"

"I am a messenger, and a servant of the great King Xerxes. Once you kill me, your Majesty’s hundreds of thousands of Persian troops will slaughter your entire Sparta and burn your country. Destroyed and turned to scorched earth!"

　　 Okay, Matt Damon got the lunch.

　　...

　　 Next, the villain played by John Nydepp is on stage!

　　 That's right~www.novelmtl.com~ He also plays the villain!

　　 John Needp plays a corrupt religious figure in Sparta who strongly opposes the confrontation between King Leonidas and the Persians.

　　 In fact, in Hollywood movies, when the big celebrities from all walks of life perform guest appearances, basically none of them play the role of a normal person. They are either the villains who receive a box lunch in a few seconds, or the funny characters who will die soon.

　　For example: In the movie "Deadpool 2", Brad Pitt played a funny mutant. During the jump of the plane, he touched the high-voltage electric death in a very simple and funny way.

　　 Next, Keanu Reeves and Jacques Phoenix, etc., also appeared as villains.

　　 beheaded to death, knelt down and begged for mercy and was killed...there were many ways to die.

　　 I have to say that the different degrees of death of the big coffee guest performers made the scene really happy and laughable.

　　 The second update of "" is sent.
