"The invitation?"

    "And the invitation to Disney''s year-end reception this year?"

    Sitting in the office of the company, Zhuke, looking at the gilded invitation in his hand, can''t help but question victor.

    "Boss, we received the invitation this morning. After all, it''s Disney, one of the top six in Hollywood, so I contacted you right away." Said Victor.

    Zhuke nodded and said, "Disney doesn''t seem to have any contact with us. How can they contact us? And as far as I know, even the people invited to their year-end reception should be Hollywood celebrities, including some people who have worked with them for a long time. How could they invite us? "

    Walt Disney''s invitation, not by Zhuke not careful.

    That''s the top six in Hollywood!

    "Boss, it was an accident." Said Victor.

    accident?

    Is there anything unexpected?

    Victor continued: "boss, I was surprised at first, but after I got a phone call, I understood. The person who called me was my former boss in Hollywood, William Barnett. He is now working in the animation department of Disney Company. He learned that I was the CEO of Wald pictures, so he sent out the invitation

    The voice fell, and Zhuke understood.

    Feeling is that I think too much!

    Where is Walt Disney''s Wald film industry that can see Zucker?

    They sent out the invitation only because of William Barnett. He is the old leader of victor. They have a good relationship. The invitation is to help victor and expand his contacts.

    Victor asked aloud, "boss, shall we go or not?"

    "Go, of course!"

    "Of course, we can''t miss this opportunity to broaden our network," he said without hesitation

    When you attend Disney''s year-end reception, you are bound to meet many Hollywood bigwigs, including famous directors, producers, actors and other celebrities in the industry.

    Wald''s strength is very small now, but Zhuke is confident that the company will develop very well.

    In order to achieve this goal, Zhuke will inevitably attend a similar reception in the future. Now Wald pictures can only make some low-cost films, but with the continuous growth of Zhuke capital, it is sure to make some high-cost blockbusters. At that time, it is necessary to cooperate with famous Hollywood actors, directors and other characters, so as to make the most of US dollars.

    At present, Disney''s reception is a good opportunity to get in touch!

    Three days later.

    6 p.m.

    It''s less than an hour before the reception starts.

    However, Zhuke and Victor came to the scene early. Well, the venue is in a five-star hotel in Burbank.

    Zucker and Victor come here with the purpose of expanding their contacts. At the same time, there are many people with the same purpose.

    Therefore, although it''s still early, there are many people in the reception hall, no less than 100 people.

    "Hi, Victor, my old friend ~!"

    As soon as he entered the venue, a 50 year old man came forward and hugged Victor excitedly.

    It''s victor''s old leader in Hollywood!

    Now he''s a manager of Disney''s animation department, William Barnett.

    William Barnett said excitedly, "Victor, I said a long time ago that you belong to Hollywood. Now I''m very happy to see you come back again."

    "Me too, sir."

    Victor is also very happy to say: "I have been looking forward to seeing you again for a few days since I received your call."

    After a pause, Victor said, "Oh, yes, sir. I''d like to introduce you to Mr. Zucker Wald, the boss of Wald pictures

    "Nice to meet you, Mr. Barnett."

    At the moment, Zhuke didn''t show any posture, but said hello to old William humbly.

    As long as people with an eye can see the friendship between William and Victor, and the invitation letter, William really helped Wald film, for such an old man, how can Zhuke not respect?

    "Nice to meet you, too. By the way, I''ve also heard of you. Your company''s latest "fatal bend" has made a name for itself

    In the next few days, old William enthusiastically introduced Zhuke and Victor to some Hollywood insiders he knew.

    Solomon Downes;

    Cruise enbit wise;

    J. CHOT lachester;

    Klaas James;

    .......

    Wait for these people. It sounds like few people know. But in the field of Hollywood animation, these people are all great gods. Which of the animated films created by them, such as "Lion King", "Snow White", "Hua Mulan", are not famous all over the world?

    After some communication, Zhuke and Victor sat down in a corner for a while.

    "Boss, did you find out? These veteran figures of Disney animation are quite unhappy in Disney now

    In the communication with them, the sharp Victor found the melancholy between their eyebrows.

    "You''re right."

    Zhuke nodded: "as far as I know, the days of Disney animation have been hard since the brilliant production of" Lion King "in 1994-95, especially the recent box office fiasco of" Aladdin and the king of the thieves ", which was just released in September, let these Disney veterans live like years."

    "Aladdin and the king of the thieves" cost Disney 65 million US dollars, plus 15 million US dollars for publicity. The total cost is as high as 80 million US dollars.

    However, the box office on the opening day only received $6 million.

    After more than a month''s release, the cumulative North American box office is now worth more than $20 million, which is a major box office failure!

    The most important thing is the bad reputation!

    Victor sighed: "Disney''s animation used to be the world''s children''s favorite animation, but now times have changed. The hand drawn animation represented by Disney is no longer popular; The 3D computer animation technology represented by Pixar has gradually become the mainstream. "

    After a pause, he said, "and Pixar''s animation is also released by Disney. This kind of children picked up from the outside beat their own sons. How can these veterans of Disney animation still sit

    Jack agrees!

    In fact, the same is true.

    The future belongs to the 3D computer animation represented by Pixar!

    In the future, Disney Princess animation has been dead and has fallen to the bottom. It was not until 2014 that they returned to the peak of Hollywood animation with the help of ice and snow!

    "Why?"

    "Juke, my old friend, and Victor, what are you doing here?"

    Just at this time, a voice of surprise came into Zhuke''s ear.

    Looking up, it turned out that he was really an acquaintance.

    John lassett, the head of Pixar''s five tigers;

    And then there''s the old man, jobs.

    "The first watch" is presented.
