"Shrek" is the rise of DreamWorks, it is different from other animated films, it has an appeal to people of all ages, in its comedy, romantic performance, and creative storyline, "Shrek" is a comedy about a rough-eating monster, a vibrant princess, a smart donkey and a nervous ruler, the film has a brilliant storyline, from the initial moody monster to his discovery of friendship and love in hysteria. The storyline is divided into different levels of understanding, and it is an enjoyable film for people of all ages.

An ingenious way to spoof other fairy tales with the humorous Shrek. In one scene, Princess Fiona's singing makes the bluebird explode. And in another scene, Snow White's Magic Mirror is described as "She may have seven people to live, but don't be fooled, she's not easy." And these subtle comedy lines are used to amuse adults. And with simple humor, such as a child sitting in the swamp "farting ogre movie opening" to amuse.

"Shrek 1" grossed $22.3 million in its first three days of release in May 2001.

In the end, North Rice's total box office revenue was more than 260 million US dollars, and more than 460 million worldwide, which made DreamWorks Animation qualified to challenge Disney.

The box office revenue of "Shrek 2", which was released this year, is estimated to exceed $125 million, which not only set a new record for the premiere of animated films, but also occupied the first place in the premiere of the year with a big score, pulling "The Hangover" down from the championship position, and also breaking "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" At the end of last year, the film set a record of $124 million in five-day box office revenue on its debut, and the film grossed $45 million on the first day of its premiere alone, which is a new record for single-day box office revenue for a Hollywood movie, breaking the record of $43.8 million set by "Spider-Man" two years ago.

In terms of the box office of the first three days, the film is second only to the record of 114 million US dollars set by "Spider-Man", and now it has exceeded 370 million US dollars, not only winning the first place of the year in "The Hangover", but also hitting 400 million, and is expected to become the fourth North Mi to break 400 million works.

As a result of this success, DreamWorks Animation was spun off from DreamWorks Studios to become an independent DreamWorks Animation company, and listed on the NASDAQ, with a market capitalization far exceeding that of DreamWorks Studios.

Mark is very slanderous about this blockbuster cartoon, but its huge and long-term investment is not what the current Mark can touch, even if Mark has so much money, he can't find so many experts specializing in computer animation technology, these are currently good at computer animation, Pixar Studio, DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Studio are all their own after years of accumulation, only to cultivate talents, even Disney such a huge family business, in the short term can not cultivate a qualified computer animation team, it can be said that it is difficult to poach people with money.

In fact, these are a little far away from Mark, Mark has a feeling that the position of the champion of the year has only been sitting for more than two months before being pulled down, and it is pulled to the third place, in front of "Shrek 2" and "Spider-Man 2" , Only in August, there are four blockbusters that have exceeded 300 million US dollars, three of which have exceeded 350 million, which is also the reason why the media expects the annual box office to exceed 10 billion, but the emergence of these blockbusters has greatly weakened the consumer market.

In particular, "King Arthur", a huge film that claims to have exceeded 200 million in publicity and distribution costs, only had a premiere of more than 15 million, and he vomited blood, and Jerry Bruckheimer, the king of producers, put his tail back up because of "Pirates of the Caribbean", as for the 20 million that David voted, it was equivalent to throwing it into the water, and the loss of blood was lost, which made David want to cry without tears.

"Happiness Terminal" is directed by Steven Spielberg, the main actors are Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Stanley Tudge and Qi McBait, etc., it is the opening film of the 2004 Venice Film Festival, "Happiness Terminal" is the fourth joint production between Spielberg and Tom Hanks, like "Impunity" is the same as taking a relaxed comedy route, with an investment of nearly 70 million, the premiere is only more than 19 million, the beer is average, the loss is a foregone conclusion, some people are already laughing, and the closer Spielberg is to the Oscars, the worse the box office of the movie will be.

Under a series of huge losses, it became more and more obvious that Mark's "Hangover" was great, Warner was forced to officially invite Mark to Warner headquarters to talk, which was the reason why he was invited to Warner headquarters for several months, and it was also the reason why he returned early, and before that, Tom conveyed Mark's meaning to Warner, and the other party said that there was something to talk about, but they insisted that Leonardo be the protagonist, which was the safest thing they thought would be, even if the budget was from 80 million to 120 million, they didn't care, compared to the huge loss of "" Catwoman" is 100 million to make, "Troy" has a production cost of 170 million, and the Mark and Leonardo duo are only 120 million, which is not unacceptable, the problem is that Mark wants to finalize the cutting rights, which is difficult for the film company to accept.

But then again, "Catwoman" and "Troy" were cut by professional producers who are familiar with the market, not just a piece of, and Mark's triple hit, the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, rejecting such a director, who knows if it will be rejecting the next Spielberg? This argument came out, it cleared the way for Mark to take over Gotham Town again, after Warner's two hundreds of millions of huge losses, the call for King Mark's return was very loud, Barry Meyer officially invited Mark to Warner Bros. headquarters in the name of Warner's president to discuss important matters.

Mark has a smile on his face, this is a symbol of status and power, unlike Blake and Kayla, who watch movies with relish, Mark is not very interested in animated movies, a person who is addicted to R-rated movies, prefers real scenes with real knives and guns, these animated movies, can't arouse his interest, a big bucket of popcorn has been eaten by him, while eating while thinking about something else, come here to watch a movie, purely to accompany Blake and Kayla, after watching the movie, they went to a restaurant together, ate something before going home.

Mark looked at Blake and Kayla's radiant appearance, and was very happy in his heart, he was too busy with work, and he had too little time to spend with them, and now that he had returned to Los Angeles, he finally had time to spend with them.

Early the next morning, he returned to MM, they first had a meeting to discuss the company's recent situation, MM can be said to be in a good situation, the huge success of "The Hangover" has made many large companies jealous, enough for them to eat for several years, and "Saw 2" in preparation and "Wedding Aoke" in production are generally optimistic, and "Love Notebook" is in operation , The premiere was held at the China Grand Theater tonight, and in the early test screening, the beer was quite good, which allowed MM to win 2,200 theaters for her, which is very good for a small-budget romance film, both Nick and the producer are very satisfied.

Mark, on the other hand, was a little strange and asked Meghan, "Where is Will?"

Meghan's face sank and said: "This is a despicable and shameless guy, forming a gang in the company, engaging in power trading, and even daring to steal the company's money, I ordered him to reflect at home." ”

Mark frowned, "What's going on?"

Meghan took out a few documents and said: "He embezzled the company's money to speculate in stocks, and embezzled more than $2 million in the company's accounts by making false statements, which is evidence and relevant information." ”

Mark took the stack of information, which described in detail the amount, time and process of each sum of money embezzled by Will, and finally summarized the amount of more than 2.4 million, Will is smiling all day long, he is kind to everyone, and he is also obedient to Mark, very respectful, I can't imagine that it is such a person, an uncomfortable feeling comes to my heart, and says: "The company treats him well, his annual salary plus share, no less than one million dollars, why does he do this?"

"He didn't say that in the face of facts and evidence, he can't deny it, my opinion is that he can choose to return the money and resign and wait for the company to call the police," Megan said. ”

Mark looked at her resolute and decisive appearance, and said, "Very leading." ”

"Of course, my father is the best CEO, and as long as I concentrate on one thing, I will do my best," Meghan said. ”

Mark was tempted to ask David if he wasn't his own, and he said, "It's better to get him back and resign, and I don't want to see him in court, and finally send him to jail." ”

Megan swept her forehead bangs and looked at her with a smile: "You are very soft-hearted and very good, what are your opinions on the selection of general manager?"

Mark said: "Vice President Jessica has been doing a good job, let her probation for three months, if competent, the position is hers." ”

Megan said: "You have proposed it like this, I have no reason to object, I will follow up on this matter, Will, a stupid guy, buried his future for a moment of greed, such a shameless person, I don't want to see him again, let him return the money, get out immediately, I don't want to see him again." ”

Mark sighed and said, "That's it." ”

Megan suddenly said, "Thank you!"

Mark shrugged his shoulders and asked?

Megan said: "You are a very good partner, willing to share the cake, I invested tens of millions, returned within a year, and achieved profitability, there are very few partners like this." ”

Mark said: "Why do you have such feelings?" He was a little strange, and Meghan, who has always been very aggressive, has such a sensual and delicate side.
