Dream Kingdom, after losing Disney and the name, has a sense of a dead end in its development.

Whether it is the cooperation with real estate developers, or the promotion of new anime characters, there will be inexplicable resistance when the film is released.

It's like there's a big invisible hand, constantly looking for trouble.

Li Zitao attributed this to 'fate', although this thing is ethereal, no one wants to prove its existence.

But since he can come to this world from the earth, what is the fate?

If you talk about things like 'fate' and 'luck', no matter how weak he is, he should be dozens or hundreds of times stronger than Disney.

"Without Butcher Zhang, I still have to eat hairy pigs?" muttered in his heart, Li Zitao decided to hand over the 'Dream Kingdom' to Weta Special Effects.

And, Howard will get his support to push this thing forward.

Disney's success doesn't just lie in his love for animation, it's important that he's a salesman.

There is a saying that Wang Po sells melons and boasts of herself!

It sounded full of ridicule, but Li Zitao felt that if he wanted to succeed, everyone had to learn to be a 'princess'. ’

The era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys is being eliminated, and the future is even more so!

Behind every success, there is a huge and strict team working silently for it, after countless possible calculations, backups, contingency plans and so on.

Occasional success exists, but it also has the ability to be sustained and irreproducible.

If you want to continue to succeed, you can only be forgotten by chance.

It's easy to bring the name 'Disney' back to people's minds, just take out his success and put it clearly in front of everyone.

As a result, the long-overdue "Steamboat Willie" was once again put on the screens of various places, and the past of the disappeared Mr. Disney also appeared in the newspapers.

It touted the talent and success of 'Disney', and finally seemed to inadvertently point out that the current 'Disney' is owned by DreamWorks.

The effect of the publicity was significant, and soon the talk of 'Disney,' animation resurfaced on the streets of Hollywood.

People, especially children, don't get bored with their love for animation.

A "Steamboat Willy", they can watch it dozens of times without getting tired, as long as the economic conditions allow.

The animated and live-action version of Snow White has also been brought back to the screen.

In times of war, people are in fear, and the atmosphere is depressing.

The reappearance of animation makes people forget their troubles and immerse themselves in this funny, simple, and straightforward animation world.

The Los Angeles Times, The Tribune, The Bulletin, The Hollywood Journal, and many more have all tracked and reported on the resurgence of the animation wind.

In just a few days, the whole of America seems to have been completely conquered by animation.

It was at this time that DreamWorks' animation studio struck while the iron was hot and launched a new animated character, Winnie the Pooh.

Simple, honest, considerate, gluttonous, and stupid, Winnie the Pooh was loved by the public as soon as it was launched, at a time when it was shrouded in war and lies.

Both women and children fell in love with this stupid but kind bear.

December 25, 1939.

The Christmas Ball was held as scheduled at the Castle of Dreams at the end of Route 1, with more attendees than last year.

Moreover, this year, there are also many guests from countries across the ocean.

The situation in Europe became more and more serious, and the non-aggression pact signed between Germany and the Soviet Union included a secret agreement whereby the two countries divided their spheres of influence among the Eastern European countries, of which Finland was divided into the Soviet Union.

Beginning in October this year, the Soviet Union urgently summoned the Finnish ambassador to Moscow for a meeting and imposed a series of harsh demands on the division of the territory.

One of the most controversial is the Hanko Peninsula, which was a natural barrier against the Soviet Union, but Moscow wanted to divide it into its own territory, which made Finland suspicious.

They began to suspect that this was a Soviet plot to annex Finland, and that if the Hanko Peninsula was handed over, they would lose the ability to stop the Soviet troops.

The Finnish government's strong rejection of the Soviet demands led to the recent Manila Incident, which developed into the current stage of the Winter War. ’

On November 30, the Soviet Union officially declared war on Finland, causing a worldwide uproar.

The League of Nations, which existed in name only, put on its final show, convened a congress on 14 December and passed a resolution to expel the Soviet Union from the League of Nations.

But such a move was not painful for the USSR, and the hostility and incompetence of Western countries were undoubtedly exposed in several German provocations.

In Britain and France, there were statements of a declaration of war against the Soviet Union, which made entrepreneurs in both countries more and more uneasy.

At this time, the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell from the United Kingdom was eager to meet Li Zitao.

The atmosphere of declaring war on the Soviet Union in Britain was getting louder and louder, and people took to the streets to shout for the fight for 'freedom and democracy'.

But at the same time, Britain and France had officially declared war on Germany, and a large-scale war could break out at any time.

This also caused the price of war materials to skyrocket, but it was at this juncture that Shell's largest supplier had problems.

Mobil's crude oil orders, due to the war factor, need to reconsider the adjustment, which can be a big deal for Dutch Shell, which has a strategic reserve.

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

If Britain, France and other countries really started a war against the Soviet Union and Germany at the same time, the existing crude oil reserves of Dutch Shell would not be enough.

Whether it is a car on the ground, an airplane in the sky, or a ship or submarine in the sea, it is inseparable from the supply of gasoline.

Moreover, Shell has received news that Mobil intends to reduce crude oil supply orders from Europe, make strategic reserves and increase support for the Far East.

Washington, for its part, expressed strong dissatisfaction with Japan's behavior in harming the interests of the United States in the Far East, and at the same time resolved to reach an agreement with China to support it in launching a full-scale war of resistance.

From April this year to the present, Washington has provided a total of 60 million US dollars in military supplies and 100 million US dollars in interest-free loans.

And President Roosevelt himself announced that this assistance was only the beginning, and that if Japan did not stop its brutal aggression, it would increase its support for China in the future.

Washington's leaning and the president's foreign statements have made Britain and Shell very worried.

Once Mobil increases its investment in the Far East and increases its domestic war reserves, the amount of crude oil that can be left for them will be greatly reduced.

This is extremely unfavorable to Britain, France, and other countries that are about to start a large-scale war.

Mobil owns more than half of the world's crude oil producers and is in some ways more important than some smaller countries.

Because of this, the CEO of Dutch Shell will go to great lengths to ask a friend to help him get an invitation and travel across the ocean to attend this lively ball.
