Warner Bros.
Barry Meyer, who has just taken the post of vice president of Warner Bros. as CEO, can't help but be dazed when he looks at the report in his hand.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Inquired Miss Daisy, the secretary.
"Oh?"
Barry Meyer looked back and sighed: "I just have a little regret and sigh. You said that Warner owns the world-famous cartoon company DC Comics, with thousands of superhero copyrights. Our strong position in the field of comics and animation was once almost equal to that of Disney, but... Now? "
Miss Daisy was speechless.
Yes, how powerful DC Comics used to be!
However, with the box office fiasco of Batman and Robin, the performance of DC Comics has been greatly reduced. Not only that, even in the field of animation, but also the decline to the extreme.
The animation market, especially the cinema animation market, is dominated by jobs' Pixar Animation, followed by DreamWorks Animation.
"I didn't think... Besides Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation, even the water world animation of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group also rose strongly. What are we doing in recent years?" Barry Meyer was very depressed.
Why Hollywood's top six companies are called the top six companies?
It's not only their historical heritage, but also their perfect global distribution channels.
At the same time, all kinds of projects and themes of film and television production have always maintained a dominant position.
Obviously, the emergence of Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation and water world animation directly occupied and divided up the film market of cinema animation, and even the six big Hollywood companies were very weak.
Of course, the six powerless companies are Warner, Columbia and universal;
The other three have their own strong performance in the field of animation.
Pixar Animation, behind which is the Disney group;
Behind DreamWorks Animation is paramount group;
Behind blue sky studio are 20th Century Fox and News Corporation;
In addition, blue sky studio, which will produce ice age in the future, has not been acquired by News Corporation, but the cooperation between the two sides is also extremely close, and the acquisition behavior will become a reality at any time.
"Disney, paramount and fox are either strong in their own cinemas or strong in their partners, but what about Warner?"
Barry Meyer slightly worried: "if we can't invest a lot of money in the animation field, we will soon lose the market of cinema animation!"
Hearing this, Miss Daisy, the Secretary, was shocked and said, "boss, is it so serious?"
"Yes!" Barry Meyer said firmly
At this moment, that is, Zhuke is not here, otherwise he will be startled.
Barimeyer's inference is absolutely correct!
In the future, as of 2020, Warner's animation department has not produced any well-known cinema animation except the old-fashioned DC superhero animation.
Charlie and the chocolate factory, Scooby, polar express
Very few!
Moreover, Warner produced only a few animated films in the 21st century before 2010. In other words, in the future, they will completely give up the cinema animation film market.
Give up?
no To be exact, they were driven out of the cinema animation film market.
Of course, Sony Columbia and Universal Pictures in the future will be more miserable than Warner in the field of animated films.
........
Fox in the 20th century.
As the boss of Rupert Murdoch, the heart of the acid sea, set off a storm!
"The box office of our company's" frozen planet "animated film has suffered a disastrous defeat in the North American market, and the box office gain in the overseas market is negligible."
"In order to build my own animation company, I paid no less than Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation, but... God is so unfair!"
"Even the damned guy Zucker has made more than $500 million at the global box office with" Nemo. "
Even if Zhuke and Murdoch have a good friendship, Murdoch is full of unhappiness at this moment.
buy!
"Cut the animation department of fox pictures and acquire blue sky animation studio."
Yes, that's what Murdoch thought at the moment.
Do what you say without hesitation.
In a few days
In a new round of Fox Film Group meeting, Murdoch put forward this idea.
"Agreed!"
"Yes!"
"Our own animation department is totally useless. It will only waste our money and let them all go!"
"I've already said that Chris meledand is just a mouthpiece. He can't do shit. Let him go."
Many shareholders and representatives of shareholders agree with Murdoch's decision.
1. To abolish the animation department of fox pictures;
2. Acquire blue sky animation studio and turn it into a subsidiary of fox pictures;
The order shall take effect as soon as the board meeting is over.
"What?"
"How could it be?"
"It can't be true, can it?"
Chris melerdander, the director of fox animation department, who has just received the decision-making order from the board of directors, is completely ignorant and unwilling.
He was swept out of the house!
no
Hundreds of people in the entire fox animation department will be swept out.
"I want to see Mr. Murdoch, and I will convince him." Yelled Chris melender outside the company.
However... The angry Murdoch did not give him a chance at all.
He wasn't even given a chance to meet.
1 day;
2 days;
3 days;
For a week in a row, Chris meledand's leg was almost broken, and no one in fox pictures was willing to give him and them a chance to make a comeback.
So, Chris meledand, he's angry!
"Good, good ~"
"You drove me away, and one day I will make you regret it!"
"Disney animation once drove away Jeffrey carsenberg and led to the rise of DreamWorks Animation. Then I will revenge fox in the future, just like Jeffrey carsenberg!"
Chris meledand made up his mind.
Most people in the world have never heard of his name, but when it comes to the company he will set up in the future, I believe many people will know about it.
ââLighting entertainment company!
The famous lighting entertainment company is good at making animated films. Its animated films, such as "mean me", "little yellow man", "pet secret" and "happy voice", will be very well-known in the future.
In the original space-time history, Chris melender was swept out by Fox and his team was disbanded after 2000, during the release of ice age at Blue Sky Studio.
But now, due to the emergence of Zucker, "Nemo" came out ahead of time, making Murdoch determined to make animated films.
"The first watch" is presented.
