In Hollywood, competition is everywhere.

The actors compete with each other, the directors compete with each other, and the various crews compete with each other. It's not just people, it's also between companies. When the brokerage companies competed, their heads were bleeding. And the open and secret battles between the major film giants and companies, if made into a movie, it will definitely be a series comparable to 007.

Similarly, in the animated film industry, this fierce competition exists.

In Hollywood's animated film industry, Pixar is naturally the most bullish. The strength of this company is even going to blind Disney, let alone other peers.

Disney spent a lot of money to get Pixar into the bag. The whole industry is in a state of flux. Pixar's strong strength and Disney's strong network, if the two are combined, other animation companies basically have no hope of turning over.

This summer, Pixar's new blockbuster robot WALL-E hit hard, and the Hollywood animated film industry trembled, only DreamWorks' animation division rose to the occasion.

What no one expected was that DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda would win big, while Pixar's robot Vali would lose money. This is Pixar's first work since it was acquired!

DreamWorks cheered, but it didn't get carried away. As opponents for many years, they clearly know how strong Pixar is. When they make a comeback, it's still the same desperate Pixar.

When Zhang Fan took the initiative to come to the door, DreamWorks agreed to the request to help Zhang Fan make an animated film without much consideration. In their opinion, as long as they can hit Pixar, a strong competitor, they can do anything.

If Zhang Fan loses, it will be regarded as adding to Pixar's blockage. But if Zhang Fan wins, then Pixar will inevitably suffer a heavy blow!

Although Zhang Fan doesn't seem to be a simple character, Pixar may have a lot of strength if he falls into his hands. But compared with Pixar, which cooperated with Disney, the people at DreamWorks felt that it was more comfortable for them to fall into the hands of Zhang Fan.

Both parties had intentions for Disney and Pixar, so they quickly reached an intention to cooperate.

According to the contract, DreamWorks will make an animated film for Zhang Fan, and they will only provide the production work, and the rest from the idea to the script, from the depiction to the distribution, is all Zhang Fan's business. And Zhang Fan will pay DreamWorks a whopping 150 million dollars in production costs!

And everything in this animated film belongs to Zhang Fan, and DreamWorks is just a part-time job.

This Frozen is not a costly computer animation, but rather a traditional production. This saves a lot of man-hours and production costs for the producer. A few months of work can earn a salary of up to $150 million, and this kind of work is a pie in the sky.

The cost of this animated film is certainly not that much, but now the whole world knows about the agreement between Zhang Fan and Disney. Even DreamWorks wants to make Pixar unlucky, but the money it should make is not less.

Originally, the cost was only tens of millions of dollars, but they offered Zhang Fan a price of 100 million. After all, the only ones in the world who have this ability are DreamWorks. Other major animation studios are under strong pressure from Disney, and they don't dare to take Zhang Fan's order at all.

Zhang Fan did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with DreamWorks' downfall, and even proposed to DreamWorks that if they could complete the production of this animated film in advance and be released in time for Christmas, then he could have an additional production fee of 50 million US dollars!

50 million dollars, even in Hollywood, Vanity Fair, is a figure that the top stars can only look up to.

If this Frozen is a special effects movie that requires a lot of labor and time to make, DreamWorks will definitely not accept it. But this kind of traditionally produced animated film is not that troublesome at all. So they readily agreed, and even asked Zhang Fan to directly write the money into the contract.

Zhang Fan didn't care about DreamWorks' robbery, after all, only DreamWorks could help him complete this animated movie at this time. Moreover, after Pixar got it, many classics flocked out. At that time, DreamWorks will inevitably be hit by Pixar's head and bleeding. Now this money is considered to be prepaid for medical expenses in advance.

Although even the animated movie has not yet been produced, Zhang Fan at this time has already regarded Pixar as his own bag. Even, when Disney signed that contract, Zhang Fan had already regarded Pixar as his own!

Frozen is a miracle in the history of animated films, and an animated film that is fun for the whole family will achieve unprecedented results.

In addition to the movie, its movie soundtrack is also a remarkable achievement. Zhang Fan has produced all the relevant songs, and now he is waiting for someone to sing them.

After preparing for the filming of Frozen and Hulk, Zhang Fan's main focus was on the box office of Iron Man.

Just as Zhang Fan expected, Iron Man collected $164 million in three days of the weekend after its release!

This is the best result of the year and even crazier than the previous Raiders of the Lost Ark that was touted by the media.

There was a box office of 160 million in three days, and dozens of movies have been released since the beginning of the summer season, but not many of them can box office more than 100 million, and the total box office revenue of many movies is not as much as the premiere of Iron Man for three days!

Without exception, Iron Man successfully won the box office championship that week, even if it was only for three days over the weekend.

Although many people have predicted that this movie will be popular, after all, Zhang Fan has made too many sensational things during this time. Under this kind of strong publicity, this movie has long been known to everyone. Coupled with the fact that it is a big investment and big production, plus a large-scale release of more than 4,000 screens, the box office of more than 100 million is even expected. But no one thought that it would reach this level!

But even so, there are still people in the media who say that it was just because the previous publicity was too strong, so it aroused the curiosity of a large number of viewers. All curiosity has been exhausted in these three days, and the next step is bound to be a diving box office reduction.

Jealousy is the original sin, and Zhang Fan's box office results naturally made many people very dissatisfied. Under all kinds of envy and jealousy, making disgusting comments in the media is nothing at all. If Zhang Fan went to deal with these people, then he wouldn't have to do anything, just have a war of words in the media all day long.

In Zhang Fan's opinion, the best way to deal with these people is to slap them in the face with realistic results!

Sure enough, in the second week, Iron Man's popularity continued.

Although the box office revenue has declined, the decline is not large. In the end, the box office revenue in the second week was still as high as 120 million US dollars, and it continued to be the weekly box office champion!

Now all the negative comments are gone, and at this time, the media are all singing praises for Zhang Fan and Iron Man, because now the audience wants to see this kind of report. Any negative reviews will not appear in the media at this time. And that's the reality.

Iron Man's box office results are so hot, it must have affected many people.

The first to react were large cinema chains such as AMC. They wanted to take advantage of Zhang Fan's newcomer to kill him, but they didn't expect Zhang Fan's character to be so stubborn, and they would rather pull a temporary theater chain themselves than resolutely not share the profits with them.

If this movie fails, several major theaters will watch Zhang Fan's jokes on the sidelines. And warn other small film companies that this is the end of not cooperating with us and wanting to go it alone!

But now that this movie is successful, their reaction is to contact Zhang Fan directly and ask to join the playback!

The audience wants to watch it and be able to make money. Then there is nothing that is non-negotiable. As for the previous unpleasantness, let it go with the wind.

For these large theaters that took the initiative to find him, Zhang Fan naturally did not refuse. Like the theater chain, Zhang Fan is also mainly making money. It's just that he proposed a share ratio of up to 67 percent! This is the most preferential share given by the theater chain for A-level productions!

Several major theaters were very angry, they didn't expect Zhang Fan, a small newly opened film company, to dare to offer them such conditions! But the reality is that now they are taking the initiative to beg Zhang Fan to play Iron Man. Instead of the other way around, Zhang Fan was begging them.

On the one hand, he feels that his face has been humiliated, and on the other hand, he is the practical interests of Chiguoguo. Iron Man is hot now, and every minute counts as money!

In the end, several major theaters bowed their heads in front of Zhang Fan for money. After negotiation, a 65% share ratio was set for Zhang Fan, which can be regarded as the last to save a trace of face.

The reason why the box office dropped so little in the second week was largely because more screens joined the play.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, when Zhang Fan and the cinema line are happily collecting money, there are naturally unhappy people.

The first people to be unhappy were those who, like Zhang Fan, had movies released in the summer. Those that have been released before are better, at most they are just jealous of Zhang Fan's good results. But those direct competitors who were in the same time period were eager to curse Zhang Fan with a needle to the villain!

No matter how large the scale of the summer file is, there is also a quota. The more audiences go to see Zhang Fan's Iron Man, the less attention they will pay to their movies. And the most direct impact of the lack of audiences is that the box office is very bad and you can't make money. Many filmmakers say that they are for art, but in fact, everyone is the same, they are all about making money. In the eyes of these people, Zhang Fan has earned money that should have belonged to them!

In the face of this situation, all kinds of slander and dirty water have been used, and all kinds of means have been used. It's a pity that under the current general trend, these methods have not had a life effect.

It's not a decades ago when film critics could decide the fate of films! It's very difficult to influence audience judgment in this era!

In addition to these people and companies, there is another company that is very angry because of the Iron Man fire.

This company is Marvel!
