Chapter 323 Insects mobilization
The summer season is the peak season for movies and the most competitive period. Since Pixar Studios dares to put the movies in this period, it is definitely full of confidence. After receiving the full support of Ryan and Paramount Pictures, "The Bug Crisis" has formulated a comprehensive global release plan. It will not be the main focus of releasing DVDs in many places overseas like in previous lives.
This animated feature film has attracted great attention from the industry. Many people want to see whether "Save Private Ryan" has made a difference in the box office pressure of more than $55 million in the first week, even though there are huge differences in the audience of the two.
In addition, what Hollywood is most concerned about is the direct confrontation between 3D computer animation and 2D hand-drawn animation. A week after the release of "The Crisis of the Bug", "Mulan", which invested huge production budgets and promotional marketing expenses, will also land in North America on a full list. Although in recent years, it has been said that hand-drawn animation is declining, and 3D computer animation will definitely become the mainstream in the future, whether these are done accurately or not is up to the market and the audience.
Many people still have the intention to watch the fun. Although these two animated feature films seem to be in a fair competition, people with discerning eyes know that Disney places this cartoon based on the far east behind "The Crisis of the Bugs", which must be the shadow of Michael Eisner.
However, Pixar Studio wants to completely complete the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan, such competition is inevitable.
This premiere not only attracted the attention of entertainment media, but also many financial reporters came to the famous chain of theaters in Times Square.
"Ike, why are you here? Do you want to change careers and do entertainment news?"
In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, taking advantage of the free time after Ryan entered, an entertainment reporter asked about a familiar financial reporter.
"Alex, you should have a broader view, think about it. If this animated film is successful, Pixar's stock price will definitely rise sharply, and countless investors and financial people are staring at it."
"By the way, I heard that the foundation under Ryan's name, in addition to Yahoo's shares, also holds a large number of shares of IT companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, and Apple. Is it true?"
"It's true, but not a large number, except Cisco. Everything else is absorbed from the market."
"How much is that?"
"this……"
The gate of the theater was isolated from the troubles outside. Ryan circled around the vestige and walked to Harvey Weinstein. The fat man looked haggard and his eyes were covered with fine bloodshot. Obviously, he had not had a good rest recently.
"Harvey, how are you doing?" Ryan asked in a low voice.
"It's almost done." Harvey Weinstein sighed, with a look of reluctance in his expression, "I just gave up Miramax like this. Bob and I were really unwilling to accept it."
Ryan gently patted his shoulder and said nothing. The Weinstein brothers are both smart and courageous people, and they took the initiative to leave. It is more decent than being driven off by Michael Eisner.
"Nicole and I have reserved enough funds, just waiting for you and Bob."
The two sides have been working together for so many years and are old friends again. Harvey Weinstein can naturally tell whether Ryan is polite or sincere. He nodded seriously, "Thank you, Ryan."
He was not worried that Ryan would become the next Michael Eisner. After all, there were many film companies and studios invested by the other party. Apart from the necessary support, he almost did not interfere with their normal operations and daily management. Drew Barrymore's Flower Pictures is the best example, and such investors and collaborators are the most popular.
What's more, he was the one who watched him grow up, and had a friendship between them for nearly ten years, and he knew that he was a nostalgic person.
"Ryan..."
Natalie and Scarlett Johnson each walked into the theater with a little girl dressed up, found Ryan's place, and quickly walked over, "Hello, Harvey."
"Oh, hello, Nat, Scarlett, Taylor, and Christine." The fat man waved to them and looked at the blonde curly, "Taylor, I heard you've dubbed a character?"
"Well~" Taylor let go of Natalie's hand and gave a small lady gift, "The character I dubbed is Xiao Budian, the little princess of the Ant Kingdom."
"Is it fun, my dear?" Ryan habitually rubbed her blonde hair.
"Not fun." Taylor shook his head in dissatisfaction and said, "I still prefer singing. Ryan, why doesn't this movie have a theme song? I've heard that Disney's "Mulan" has many good songs."
"Taylor, there will definitely be a chance in the future." Natalie's eyes swept across Ryan, and when she passed by the sky blue eyes, she revealed the meaning that only two people understood. She held the little girl's hand again and asked, "How do you know there are many songs in "Mulan"?"
"We both heard from others..." It was Christine Stewart, who spoke, "Disney wants to compete with us and wants to defeat "The Bug Crisis" with "Mulan".
Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. These little girls are so gossipy.
"Mr. Weinstein, will we win?" Taylor looked at the fat man.
"You should ask Ryan?" Harvey Weinstein laughed.
"But..." The little girl's sapphire blue eyes kept rolling, "But I heard many people say that you have a very good view of watching movies and have a very accurate prediction of movies."
After saying that, she looked at Scarlett again, "Right, Christine."
"Well, that's it." The tomboy from the Stewart family has always been her follower, and nodded quickly at this time.
When Harvey Weinstein heard the two little girls sing and reconcile, he laughed happily. Anyone who was praised by such two little girls would be happy.
"So, do you know the theme of "Mulan"?"
"I know." Taylor stuck out his tongue and pointed at Natalie beside him and said, "Nate told me specifically that it was an ancient story from the East, and it is said that there are related poems, but I can't understand what Natal recites."
"Because of the subject matter, "Mulan" should not be the opponent of "The Crisis of the Bug" in North America, but it's hard to say overseas."
The four girls opposite, not to mention the older ones, but the two who are less than ten years old in front of them, who have not played big in the film company since childhood. Harvey Weinstein believes that they can understand their own words.
"That's it." The two little girls nodded unconsciously.
"Ryan, I'll say hello to the others."
Seeing that the curious little girl was about to ask other questions, Harvey Weinstein quickly said goodbye, but he knew how difficult this little guy named Taylor Swift was, "Goodbye, four beautiful ladies."
When the fat figure disappeared into the crowd, Natalie was the first to laugh. Then Scarlett laughed too.
"Is it funny?" Taylor frowned and glanced around, tugged Natalie's hand, "I haven't been to New York for a long time. Nat, will you take me and Christine out to play tomorrow?"
"Of course." Natalie agreed happily, then looked at Ryan in confusion and asked, "Do you want to take him?"
"No." The little girl's head shook very quickly. "I don't want to talk to Ryan. He refused to take me to Moscow and Fiji. I'm hating him."
"Hey, my dear, don't forget that I brought you so many gifts." Seeing the war burning, Ryan couldn't help but speak.
The little girl turned her head and showed a look that I just didn't want to talk to you.
"Okay, my dear." Ryan rubbed her hair helplessly, "Don't you miss Nicole anymore? When you have enough fun in New York, I'll let the plane take you to Australia."
Anyway, she is on summer vacation, so why not send it to Australia to harm Nicole and the farm.
"Really?" Taylor's eyes lit up.
"no sooner said than done."
"Can you add me?" Christine raised her hand weakly.
"no problem."
Ryan finished speaking. Ed Kaml came over and reminded them, "Ryan, there are four ladies, it's almost time to go into the theater."
"Hurry, hurry up." Taylor is more active than anyone else. He pulled Natalie and left. He didn't forget to turn around and shouted to Scarletts, "Little fat girl, tomboy, hurry up!"
"Taylor!" Scarlett Johnson clenched his teeth.
In a beautiful ant kingdom, everyone works hard all day long. An ant named Felix has his own hobby - invention and creation. Although he worked hard to invent a "harvester", the kingdom's rulers Queen Ant and Princess Anta still looked down on him and his inventions.
The biggest threat to the Ant Kingdom is a group of grasshoppers. These groups of grasshoppers always rob the ants of their food. They are the dark clouds above the head of the Ant Kingdom. When a grasshopper was plundering, Felix accidentally hit the food under the cliff. The annoyed grasshopper leader, the Overlord, caught the princess' sister Xiaobudian, and threatened that if he could not get twice the food next time, he would wash the Ant Kingdom bloodily.
Because Felix lost all the food, everyone vented their fear and dissatisfaction on him, and the Ant Kingdom decided to expel Felix.
In order to stay in his own tribe, Felix came to the city and wanted to find a group of powerful insect warriors to defeat grasshoppers. As a result, by chance, it found a group of unemployed circus actors.
After coming to the Ant Kingdom, the ants did not believe in these strange-looking insects, and the insects themselves were also a little scared, so they retreated and prepared to leave. Although Felix was disappointed after learning about the insects' true identities, he tried his best to stop the insects from leaving, otherwise he would be considered a big liar by the ants.
Later they met the insect's natural enemy, Bird. The circus actors rescued Felix and Little Band, gained the favor of the ants, and regained their confidence. Inspired by the bird, Felix decided to be a fake bird to scare away the grasshopper.
The fake bird was finished, and the Overlord also approached the Ant Kingdom with its villain army. Who knew that the circus boss came to find his insect actors. When the ants learned that the insects were actors in the circus, they were extremely disappointed.
The Ant Kingdom expelled Felix and the insects. At this moment, the grasshopper legion arrived. Under the persuasion of Xiaobudian, Felix and the insects decided to fight the grasshopper together. Although the fake bird began to scare the locust attack, the Overlord discovered the fake bird and prepared to destroy the Ant Kingdom in one fell swoop.
