Jobs was a clear-headed businessman, and he certainly couldn't act as "recklessly" as Donn.

Now, in the 21st century, major Hollywood companies have begun to perceive the prospect of animated films, Warner, Sony have also created their own animation departments, and Fox is one step ahead, acquiring Blue Sky Animation Studios, and will soon launch fully computer-produced cartoons.

However, throughout Hollywood, the development of the animation industry, the most powerful is still Disney!

Don't look at Disney's cartoons in recent years, they are no longer popular, but Disney has been engaged in cartoons for decades after all, and has accumulated a lot of experience and resources.

Disney, in particular, has more and wider promotion channels, from Disneyland, to the Disney Channel, and even the "Disney" brand, which in many cases represents cartoons.

So even though Jobs and Michael Eisner have a stiff relationship, Disney is still an important partner for Pixar.

The root cause is not a paper contract, but Disney's capabilities.

Don wants to buy out Pixar's contract with Disney, which is of course not in Pixar's interests, even if Don pays for it, it can't be!

In addition to Disney, what other film company can promote Pixar animation to the world? And there are many mature peripheral copyright development, and the more channels, the more benefits.

The conversation between the two ended here, and the two did not agree on the positioning of Pixar.

Fortunately, Apple's shareholder meeting will be held at the end of the month.

There is still half a month to go, and Jobs can find an opportunity to talk to Donn again.

In the current box office market, "Spider-Man" continues to be high-profile, and Fox's "." has dropped to 500 theaters, and the film scheduling rate is also as low as 2%. Disney's "Sixty Seconds" fared slightly better, but with more blockbusters coming in July, market share also fell sharply.

Now, the most popular movie on the market is still "Spider-Man", which has entered its fourth week, and the film scheduling rate is still high at 35%. This was followed by Warner's disaster blockbuster "The Perfect Storm" and Miramax's "Screaming."

Especially "Screaming Laughter", which simply made Disney raise his eyebrows!

This horror film, with an investment of less than $2,000, was released on July 7, and under the impact of "Spider-Man", the box office still reached $48.3 million in the first week, ranking second only to "Spider-Man" in the weekly box office list.

Although "Sixty Seconds of Speed" failed miserably at the box office, Miramax's "Screaming Laughter" saved a lot of face for Disney.

So much so that Harvey Weinstein has been very high-profile recently, and he has a bit of a headline posture with Donn.

Although Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney, it operates independently and is not managed by the production department, so the success of "Scream" has nothing to do with Disney's production chairman Joe Ruth!

And even more ridicule.

Harvey Weinstein's $19 million horror film "Scream" was a great success in the summer, but Joe Russ's $90 million commercial blockbuster "Sixty Seconds of Speed" ended miserably.

Now, Joe Ruth is under a lot of pressure and may face the end of being fired at any time, and of course he is not reconciled!

"Sixty Seconds of Speed" is already a piece of dead flesh and is hopeless, and Joe Ruth has put his hope on the next movie - "The Undead" directed by Knight Shyamalan!

Last year, "The Sixth Sense" shocked the world, and even completely crushed "Wedding Guest" supervised by Donne.

Don't movie fans like the horror, thriller genre?

Yes, go watch "Immortal Robbery"!

This suspense thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis has completed filming and is now in post-production, scheduled for November 15.

Joe Ruth was under too much pressure, with the fiasco of "Sixty Seconds of Speed" in front and Michael Eisner's roar in the back. He understands that if Michael Eisner is kind and intends to give him another chance at redemption, then the only hope is "Immortal"!

……

Natalie only took on one movie this year, George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel 2", continuing to play Queen Amidala, with not many scenes, and now the filming has basically been completed.

Originally, Hilda Querrey also planned for her to take on a movie called "Supermodel", but Donn vetoed it.

Rather than excessive, Don does not allow Natalie to make bad movies.

Now, Natalie's role is over, and according to Hollywood convention, the actors will go on vacation. But Natalie apparently didn't have that condition.

As an apology, Donn had to invite her to Los Angeles Venice Beach to take a walk.

Natalie pouted, not very happy, "You never took me out on vacation!"

"Didn't we go to Australia last year? Didn't we also go around Europe during the Cannes Film Festival?" Donn and Natalie were barefoot, stepping on the soft and delicate sand, ignoring the few bodyguards who silently followed behind.

Natalie exasperated, "That's work! ”

Don sighed, "Nat, you know, I've been ...... lately Very busy. "Spider-Man" is released, two blockbusters are to be prepared, and recently there are negotiations with Jobs......"

"That's not the reason, can't you even spare a week?" Natalie kicked hard, raising up a layer of golden sand.

Don took her little hand, "It's mainly a matter of transportation. The planes will not be in service until September, and the yachts will be even longer. ”

"Yachts?"

Natalie's eyes lit up and she looked at him in surprise, "You bought a yacht, is it a big one?"

Don smiled and glanced at her, the girl really still likes that kind of luxurious and spectacular private yacht, "The German shipyard in Luersen designed the concept art, which is very good. Next week, they'll send someone over with their design concept to discuss some details. ”

"Wow!

Natalie suddenly became excited, jumped and grabbed Donn's arm, "Can you talk about it?"

"Say what?"

"What kind of yacht are you going to build? It's not too bad, is it?"

Natalie knew that Don was rich, and young, and that what he was pursuing was definitely of a high grade.

Don said casually: "At least it's bigger and more luxurious than the old guys like the 'Savarona' and 'Alexander'." ”

Created in the 30s of the last century, the 124-metre-long "Savarona" is the largest private yacht in the world today, and is now chartered by wealthy Turkish businessmen.

Built in 1965 with a length of 122 meters, the yacht "Alexander" is owned by the Greek ship king family, has been upgraded twice, and is now the second largest private yacht in the world...... $85,000!

Hearing Don say this, Natalie's eyes sparkled with little stars, not to mention how happy she was, "Specifically?"

Don noticed that she was particularly excited, and kissed her on the cheek, "What do you say?"

"I think...... There should be a hospital on board the yacht that can be treated in case of problems on the sea. ”

"Good idea. ”

"Also, if you have a swimming pool, you can't always soak in salt water. ”

"Good idea. ”

"Hmm...... There is also an audio-visual theater! When you are bored, you can watch a movie together. ”

"It should. ”

Natalie's happy eyes bent into a line, "It's better to have a submarine, and when the time comes, you can go to see the underwater world!"

Tang En waved his hand, "Yes, it must be matched! There are not only submarines, but also a few small runabouts, you can enjoy the speed and passion on the sea!"

"Yes, that's it!" Natalie tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's better to have a helicopter for transportation." I've heard that there are very few docks that can dock at that kind of big cruise ship, and it is very difficult to dock. ”

"Okay, there's a helicopter!" Donn smiled and put his arm around her waist, "Anything else?"

"And ......" Natalie bit her lip, but she really couldn't think of anything, and suddenly felt a little weird, "Hey, why do you keep asking me why? I didn't buy it!"

Don leaned over, lightly bit her little earlobe, and whispered, "This is our yacht, you say...... The name of the yacht is 'Nat', how about it?"

"Huh?"

Natalie's face instantly turned crimson.

It was impossible for Don to give her the yacht directly, the cost of the yacht was estimated to be $200 million, and she couldn't afford to pay $100 million just by converting taxes to the tax.

By naming it in this way, it is also sincere enough to express Natalie's place in her heart.

"Don, I'...... I ......"

Natalie's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't speak.

Don smiled, hugged her lightly, strolled on the soft beach, and whispered, "Nat, I said, I will give you the happiest life!"

Natalie sniffed, quickly gathered her emotions, and snorted, "Is this compensation?"

"Huh, what compensation?"

Natalie cocked her nose and said, "You feel indebted to me, so you make up for it in this way, right?"

"Ahem......"

Don had a black line in his head, "Honey, it's better to be late than nothing, and it's better to compensate than to owe." ”

"Divine theory!"

Natalie glanced at him, snorted disdainfully, and then couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

The two walked silently on the beach, holding hands, swaying leisurely, facing the afterglow of the sunset, slanting with long silhouettes.

"What are you going to name the yacht if it's not compensation?"

"Nat, I've thought about it a long time ago!"

"Liar!"

Natalie snorted, tilted her head, pursed her lips and smiled, a look of teasing, "You're definitely going to name the Donne." ”

"How is that possible?"

"Definitely, look at your industry, Don Pictures, Down Capital, Don Building...... Hmph, narcissist!"
