Disney hasn't given up completely, they're still doing everything they can to do it.

On the one hand, he desperately promoted Lightning Dog, trying to continue to snipe Zhang Fan's Frozen through this animated movie.

Disney's strength is indeed very terrifying, and they even said that they moved the three major theater chains, and in the case of Lightning Dog's obvious poor box office, not only did not cut the screen of the release, but even increased it a lot. I don't know how much Disney paid for it.

Disney's promotional agency has gone all out to promote Lightning Dog globally at any cost, trying to undermine Frozen's box office revenue. Even did a situation where peripheral products are half sold and half given, or even given directly for free, as long as you show the movie ticket, you can get it for nothing!

It is conceivable that in order to be able to prevent Zhang Fan from obtaining this important part of Pixar, Disney has begun to resist frantically.

Disney's big investments have not been without results, and even have worked well. At least the box office of Lightning Dog, which had been gradually declining, actually stopped the decline, and the weekly box office in North America exceeded the $25 million mark for the first time. But what Disney's executives need is not the turnaround of Lightning Dog, but the hope of sucking away the box office of Frozen!

However, what made Disney's top executives despair was that Frozen, a movie that seemed so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, actually climbed like a hanging, and was not affected by Lightning Dog in the slightest. Successfully broke through the global $500 million mark, and went straight to $600 million without any obstacles.

Disney experts have come up with a precise inference that the final global box office of the Frozen movie may be close to $1.1 billion! This is definitely one of the highest box office receipts in the history of cinema, and it must be the box office champion of animated films!

However, that's not what the top brass wants to hear. After hearing the news, they even wanted those experts to take the information back and rewrite it!

Super high box office revenue, what does the highest animated movie in history have to do with Disney?! This movie is like a deadly rope for Disney!

The operation to block the box office failed, and Lightning Dog didn't look like it could stop Frozen. In this case, Disney began to gradually use all the means at its disposal.

Powerful people from all walks of life began to visit Zhang Fan continuously, from Hollywood bigwigs to business elites at the beginning, and later even important politicians called Zhang Fan. They all said the same thing, and they all hoped that Zhang Fan could put Disney on the Pixar matter.

After that, there are some box office fluctuations in movie theaters around the world where Frozen is played, which is also what Disney does.

Even, Disney began to mobilize the power of the legal community to start blowing in the media around the previous contract with Zhang Fan, trying to avoid this contract through legal channels.

Disney really did what it could. But the end result is still a sense of despair.

No one's persuasion had any effect on Zhang Fan. Even the people around Zhang Fan have no way to say anything about this matter. Disney is really talking about the people around Zhang Fan, including some of his relatives and a few women who used to have a close relationship with Zhang Fan. I don't know what benefits Disney has given them, but they actually speak for Disney at this time.

For these people, Zhang Fan just hung up the phone. If we meet again in the future, we will only be left with the simplest transaction, and there will be no trace of emotion mixed with it.

As for the box office fluctuations of movie theaters around the world, Universal is even more concerned than Zhang Fan. After all, everyone can see now that the agreement between Zhang Fan and Disney this time seems to be really going to win. Once Zhang Fan wins and takes Pixar, the tough Disney will inevitably be hit hard. This is simply a thing that will wake up with a smile even if you dream about it. They naturally wanted to support Zhang Fan at this time.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Zhang Fan, as an outsider, even if he gets Pixar to die, he is on the same level as DreamWorks. It's not a mortal threat to the big movie giants. Disney, on the other hand, is a real giant rival. Such a good opportunity to weaken Disney, they say nothing and will not let it go!

With the covert help of Universal, and even several other giant studios, the so-called box office fluctuation lasted only a few days before disappearing. Naturally, Disney's operation ended in failure.

As for wanting to tear up the contract, it's even funnier. Not to mention that the world attaches great importance to contracts and copyrights. Just when he signed the contract before, Zhang Fan let the lawyers he hired a lot of money to formulate the contract very strictly. At that time, Disney thought that they would definitely win, so they also hired an excellent team of lawyers, and like Zhang Fan, they were sure that there would be no problems with the contract.

In this case, it is a complete joke to want to tear up this contract at this time. That's not something Disney's energy can do anymore. At the very least, the Ministry of Justice will be dispatched, and then it will be said that the president will have to approve it after the Congress. But in this world, Disney has absolutely no way to do this kind of thing.

The agreement between the two sides has already attracted close attention from all over the world. If the contract is torn up legally at this time, the entire American legal community will become a laughing stock all over the world. Disney's efforts were doomed to fail.

Under Disney's desperate gaze, Frozen's global box office continued to climb step by step, and finally came to the billion-dollar mark!

On this day, Disney executives felt that California's originally cloudless clear sky had darkened.

They lost, they really lost. A foreigner, a foreigner who has never worked in the animated film industry, simply commissioned another animation company that was far inferior to Disney to make an old-fashioned and tacky animated film, and then it actually broke the box office of a billion dollars! Not only did he become the record number one cartoon that made Disney desperate, but he also entered the top 10 in the history of the movie box office!

At this time, Disney's executives really wanted to look up and ask the sky, roaring and asking, "What's wrong with this world?!"

"Frozen's success is multifaceted. When Frozen's box office exceeded $1 billion, Zhang Fan accepted an invitation from Oprah, the most famous and most-watched talk show in the United States, to star in one episode. When asked by the black aunt about the secret of Frozen's success, Zhang Fan explained: "First of all, the quality of the work is very good. I would like to commend the work of the DreamWorks Animation Department. The quality of the animated film they produced was so high that it didn't live up to the $150 million I paid. ”

"Is this animated movie yours or DreamWorks?" Oprah asked immediately.

"Of course it's mine. Zhang Fan smiled and waved his hand, "From the idea to the script, and even all the songs in it are created by me." DreamWorks just took my commission to make it. ”

"I think DreamWorks must be regretting it now. They made such an animated film that grossed more than a billion dollars, but it didn't belong to them. Oprah's words were sharp. Also, if you do this kind of show, if the topic is not sharp, it is impossible to have such high ratings.

"There's no need for them to regret it. Zhang Fan shook his head: "They just accept the work commission." ”

"Okay. Oprah went on to ask, "What else makes this animated film so successful?"

"The content of the film is perfect for any audience to watch. "The Oprah show has been filmed for thousands of episodes, and all kinds of guests have been invited. Zhang Fan has recently become popular and has a bet with Disney to take Pixar, the attention at this time is the highest, and the ratings tonight are very high, "Whether it is movie content or music, it is the top existence." ”

On this kind of show, Zhang Fan will definitely not engage in any self-humility, and Americans rarely care about this. They appreciate people who dare to take off and dare to show up, no, they are people who dare to do and succeed.

"Speaking of music, the song Let Him Have Been on the Billboard for weeks. "The real protagonist of this show will always be Oprah, even if Zhang Fan, who has attracted the most attention now, is invited this time, Oprah has not given up the slightest idea of controlling the show. has been doing the show for so many years, and controlling the show has long turned into an obsession.

"Hmm. Zhang Fan has nothing to be dissatisfied with Oprah's constant interjections to control the show. He came to smash a lot of scenes, and he came to make his reputation to the next level through this show. "Let it go is a song that has won four weeks of Billboard titles. I guess I'll take a few more. ”

"Wow, that's amazing. Your music seems to have won the Billboard championship?"

"It's because I'm so talented. ”

"Hahaha~~~" The audience at the scene instantly burst into warm laughter. They like this kind of confident people. And Zhang Fan is indeed very talented. This is something that everyone acknowledges at this moment.

"The movie has grossed more than a billion dollars, so the movie soundtrack should be selling well, right? After all, it has won several Billboard weekly championships. Oprah actually knew about the sales of the soundtrack, and only pretended not to know about it for the sake of the show.

"Well, it's almost close to 10 million copies sold, right?" Zhang Fan's words caused an uproar at the scene again.

In this era of leisure and entertainment, the sales of 10 million records is definitely a very, very remarkable achievement! This is a feat that many singers cannot achieve by selling records for a lifetime.

"Wow~~~" Oprah exaggerated her shocked expression, "In this way, even if you lose the agreement with Disney, you can still succeed by singing after leaving Hollywood." ”

This assumption does not hold. Zhang Fan shrugged his shoulders: "Now I have won this agreement." ”

There was a burst of applause. Zhang Fan was able to create a miracle when almost everyone was not optimistic, and naturally he was able to get the support of the vast majority of people. The more ordinary people are, the more they like to see miracles happen. This is also the reason why Zhang Fan is so popular at this time.
