Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 155

There are two major toy companies in the world today, Hasbro with "Transformers" and Mattel with "Barbie".

Dunn has great ambitions, and it is not impossible to package all the adaptation rights of the two toy companies.

Both Hasbro and Mattel are traditional brick-and-mortar toy companies, far away from the Internet and Hollywood. Many of their orders are derivatives of Hollywood movies.

Movies are the leader of entertainment. With the strong influence of movies to promote, it can make toys sell better!

Even Dunn Pictures does not need to pay a penny for the copyright adaptation fee, as long as the cooperation agreement is signed. When you shoot a big movie in the future, you can also get a huge sponsorship from the toy company.

That's the good thing about Hollywood.

Of course, this is also limited to 2000.

If in the previous life, after the "Transformers" movie was released and became popular all over the world, everyone understood the importance of toy copyright. At that time, it would not be so easy to easily obtain the adaptation copyright.

Hasbro, Mattel, and rising star Lego have all set up their own movie studios.

In particular, Lego, the "Lego Movie" series produced by Lego, although the film quality is not high, has achieved unprecedented success because of its strong brand effect. Because it is the apricot quality of cartoons, the sales volume of derivatives has surpassed "Transformers" in one fell swoop!

Coupled with the change of the times and the change of social atmosphere, the "deformed" Barbie doll is no longer loved by people. Everyone prefers the healthy, positive and self-independent figure of Beyonce and Kardashian, rather than Barbie. The classically morbid aesthetic of the doll.

The conservative Mattel strategy has repeatedly made mistakes, allowing Lego to successfully climb to the top and become the world's largest toy company.

Dunn has no interest in toy companies, nor does he like Barbie dolls. He only pays attention to movies, and he only cares about the layout of Hollywood.

Animated movies are the biggest source of peripheral derivatives, and the future of Dunn Pictures will definitely be the layout of animated movies.

So the question is, who will take the lead?

Animated movies are completely different from live-action movies. It is not necessary to have a director or a producer to start a project.

The core of animated films is technology, especially in 2000 when special effects technology was not mature enough.

The hand-drawn 2D cartoons of Disney are already in the past tense, and computer-generated 3D cartoons represented by Pixar will be the mainstream direction of the future animation industry.

But the special effects production team is sparse.

If you just make the younger-aged cartoons provided for children's channels, you can just make them shoddy and have interesting plots, and you don't need to spend a lot of money at all, but the movies are different.

If you want to build a Dianjue animation team belonging to Tangen Films, you will never be able to create a mirror animation without a soulful leader, years of continuous capital investment, and the training of technical personnel.

Dunn had some headaches. If he had been reborn a few years earlier, he could have directly attacked the Blue Sky Animation Studio. Although Blue Sky Animation is not as good as Pixar and DreamWorks Animation, it has a mature team and professional animation talents.

When filming "Titanic", there were several special effects shots, which were completed by the rendering cgi studio of Blue Sky Studio.

This time, Bill McNick once again played an important role.

"Dawn, I have an old subordinate."

Tang En laughed dumbly. Now Dian Mian En Films, many department directors are Bill McNick's old subordinates, "Who is it?"

"Chris, Chris Mellor Dandley."

The name that Bill McNick read, Dunn always felt a little familiar.

"When I was working at Disney, he was my production supervisor, and when I came to Fox, Shunban also pulled him over and put him in charge of Fox animation."

"Fox Animation Department?" Dunn curled his lips, "I remember that the movie "Titan a.e." was created by Fox Animation Department. I think that when "Titan a.e." is released, in the arena with "Spider-Man", Fox's animation division will definitely be outlawed."

Bill McNick waved his hand, "The incompetence of the Fox animation department has nothing to do with Chris. It has been like this many years ago, and he can't change the result. If there is another achievement of his, it will definitely be recognized by you. ."

"what?"

"It was his persuasion that I agreed to buy Blue Sky Animation Studio on behalf of Fox."

Dunn's face is a little ugly.

Chris Mellor Dandley, it turns out that this guy is tearing down Dunn Pictures!

If he hadn't led the acquisition, then Blue Sky Studio would definitely belong to Dunn Pictures now? and many more! Chris Mellor Dandley?

Tang En suddenly opened his eyes wide, and finally wanted to understand why the name sounded familiar.

The **** of Hollywood animation movies!

Animated films in Hollywood, with three monuments

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the soul of DreamWorks Animation!

John Rust, the soul of Pixar animation!

And then there's Chris Mellor Dandley mentioned by Bill McNick!

This great god, during his time at Fox, successfully launched the Blue Sky Animation Studio  "Ice Age" series. Later, because of the disagreement with Fox's concept, he left and set up his own animation studio "Lighting Entertainment".

The name of Lighting Entertainment is not well-known, and the brand effect is difficult to compare with DreamWorks and Pixar, but the animation produced by Lighting Entertainment has crushed the entire Hollywood animation market in the box office market!

"The Thief Dad" series, "Minions with big eyes and cute" series, "Happy Voice" series, "Pampering Secret" series

DreamWorks Animation's Dianzhuodian is a joke, Disney's animation is sweet and greasy, Pixar's animation is warm and soothing, and Lighting Entertainment's animation is cute and cute to death!

"Dig, at all costs, dig him up for me!" Tang En's face revealed an undisguised excitement

Bill McNick looked at him in astonishment, "Dawn, Chris is now a senior executive of Fox and the top person in charge of Fox Animation. It's not easy to dig him over."

Dunn waved his hand, "Bill, Dunn Films needs the animation department! I can even delegate power to set up an independent animation studio and let him make the final call."

Bill McNick frowned, "Chris is my old subordinate. We have been friends for more than ten years. Let me try it. I hope he is willing to go through the same struggle again."

Seeing that the Cannes Film Festival is about to open, the secretary has already arranged the itinerary for Dunn.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the film festival, Dunn will appear on the red carpet with the cast members of "The Girl Who Moved Soul". In the next day or two, Dunn will meet the judges of the film festival to meet, talk about movies and discuss Hollywood.

Then, Dunn will join the "Spider-Man" crew and conduct a wave of publicity in Europe.

"Spider-Man" will be released in North America on June 22. At the same time, more than 30 countries and regions around the world will be released simultaneously on this day, mainly in Europe.

At the end of June, it is the most popular trend in the whole summer season, and it is also an opportunity for major movies to compete for the market.

Universal provided 60 million US dollars for the announcement cost of "Spider-Man", and Dunn Pictures added another 40 million US dollars, just to build momentum, create the most powerful momentum, sweep away all the bulls and ghosts, and pave the way for "Spider-Man"!

At the same time, Time Warner, Comcast, and Viacom also began to exert their efforts to clean up the stains that Disney and Fox had put on Dunn during the past period.

What surprised Dunn was that Wall Street was behind it.

Wall Street is now withering under the influence of the bubble crisis, especially some large securities institutions and investment banks have begun to tighten money.

Some small investment funds, like Dunn Capital, can take advantage of this opportunity to make a big short and make another profit while the stock market crashes.

But not large institutions!

This is like a luxury villa on fire, a group of Xiao Xiao can steal things quietly, and the bosses are all focused on fighting the fire.

Because the villa is their property!

More than half of the entire Nasdaq is controlled by large Wall Street institutions. How can they short it? With others, robbing your own money?

Now, Wall Street's biggest job is to cooperate with the federal government to prevent the expansion of the bubble crisis, so that the bear market can reduce losses as much as possible.

At present, the media are widely reporting the negative news of investors' divorce, bankruptcy and suicide, which constantly puts pressure on the stock market and gradually disintegrates the last psychological defense line of investors.

It's like a reminder, forcing investors to sell all their stocks.

This is obviously not in the interests of Wall Street. To maintain the stability of the stock market, reducing the reduction and increasing the holding is always the best way.

Therefore, the giants of Wall Street have already thought that at this juncture, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will give investors confidence and inject new hope into Nasdaq!

The way has been found, that is, Dunn Walker, the hottest and most controversial figure in the United States today!

On this day, more than ten large investment institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers, sent professional negotiators to Dunn Pictures.

In Tang En's office, he was sentenced for more than 8 hours.

No one knows the specific content of Dian Yan's judgment, but afterward, Tang En and Wall Street Dian Weidu can see that the two sides should have reached a secret agreement.

Dunn announced: In the next one to two years, Dunn Capital will continue to invest in high-tech companies. On the one hand, it provides financing for emerging high-tech companies, and on the other hand, it acquires a large number of shares of high-tech companies in the stock market. High-tech stocks are not over, the shock of Nasdaq, this is a normal reaction of crazy investment in recent years, high-tech stocks are still the biggest choice for holdings!

At the same time, major Wall Street newspapers and TV stations have relayed Dunn's words and praised Dunn's magical means of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain in the stock market in the past three years.

Market analysts from Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other large investment banks also made a high-profile statement in interviews that Dunn Walker is the stock **** of the new era!

Listen to his words and increase your holdings of high-tech stocks, there is nothing wrong!

Following Comcast, Time Warner, and Viacom, the entire Wall Street assisted, completely dismantled the despicable methods of Disney and Fox's "moral kidnapping", and pushed Dunn to the throne of the stock **** in one fell swoop.

In exchange, Dunn will take the lead as a stock god, continue to make high-profile investments in the high-tech industry, and bring new hope to investors and Nasdaq
