"If it weren't for Frozen, maybe Lightning Dog would have a chance to turn over later." Zhang Fan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of his office with high spirits, looking at the Hollywood Hills not far away, which has such a tall and large Hollywood logo in the world, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden no matter what. There is actually no need to hide either.

"Why do you say that?" Li Ruhui asked this sentence very cooperatively.

"Because of time." Zhang Fan, who was in a good mood, explained to Li Ruhui with a smile: "It's Christmas time, and the family carnival is a popular movie." With Frozen's strong suppression, Lightning Dog will never have a chance to turn over. After all, this schedule can only accommodate the next successful animated film at most. Now that Frozen has been successful, Lightning Dog has no chance to turn over. ”

"Disney is probably dying." Frozen's box office hit was a hit, and Li Ruhui, who was originally worried, was in a much better mood. At this time, he can already joke with Zhang Fan about Disney with a smile.

"It's useless to go crazy." Zhang Fan's eyes looked at the Hollywood sign not far away, "Now that Frozen has become a big trend, even a behemoth like Disney can't carry out any effective sniping operations in such a short period of time." ”

"It's already started over there?" As Zhang Fan's close person, Li Ruhui naturally knows a lot of important news, just like the overseas distribution of Frozen was handed over to Universal to do. This was a surprise to Sony.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded, "Before, Universal has been waiting for the box office results of the first week to come out, and they will increase or weaken their efforts to release overseas according to the results." Now that Frozen's box office results are so good, they naturally can't wait to get a piece of the pie. And don't worry that Universal will help Disney, they wish Disney would be weakened by me. ”

"What did Sony say?" Li Ruhui nodded and asked again.

"What is there to say?" Zhang Fan frowned, "When the Hulk used to be digging a pit for them. How could it be possible to give them a time like this! You know, I'm Chinese, they're Japanese! ”

"And for what reason are they sent?"

"Let's just say that they were hesitant to react after the Hulk and lacked confidence in me. Nothing else needs to be said. The Japanese will only recognize the strong, as long as I am strong enough, they can't make any waves! ”

After the box office results of the first weekend of Frozen came out, the undercurrents in all aspects instantly began to surge.

Disney began to move around, trying to find ways to snipe Zhang Fan. After all, it's a vital Pixar! Disney can't be in a hurry if it's not in a hurry. At this moment, their previous ridicule of Zhang Fan, thinking that Zhang Fan's mentality of not being self-sufficient had long been thrown to Java Island.

Universal, who had secretly reached a reservation with Zhang Fan, was overjoyed and got an unexpected gain. This kind of blockbuster film will definitely be able to make a lot of money if it is released overseas. Moreover, Zhang Fan also offered a relatively preferential share to Universal, which naturally allowed Universal to go all out to operate for the overseas distribution of Frozen.

Not to mention that there was originally a strong competitive relationship between Universal and Disney, even if Universal and Disney usually wear a pair of pants, but now when a lot of interests are involved, Universal can't say anything to help Disney in the slightest. And this is also one of the reasons why Zhang Fan is willing to give the world a share of the discount.

Zhang Fan doesn't care too much about whether the box office of this animated film makes a little more or less. Because his target is Pixar, it's Disney!

Give Universal more benefits, and you can give Universal more motivation to do things for Zhang Fan and block Disney's pressure for him. and even work harder to promote this movie all over the world!

Zhang Fan is more interested in whether the box office of this movie can exceed one billion US dollars!

"Aren't you afraid of Disney dogs jumping off the wall to use off-board tricks?" Li Ruhui asked a topic that she had been worried about all along.

"Do you know why all industries in this world are able to evolve?" Zhang Fan didn't turn around, but the corners of his mouth curled, "Because there will be rules in every industry." The same is true for the film industry. The things of the film are naturally handled by the relevant aspects of the movie. If Disney uses off-board tricks, it will break the rules of the entire industry. Even if he Disney is not afraid of my retaliation, he is afraid of the entire industry joining forces to fight back! People and companies that break the rules are the best at all, and they are the easiest to provoke concentrated firepower. ”

"It won't take long." Zhang Fan took a deep breath and looked beyond the huge, bright floor-to-ceiling windows at Hollywood. There was a strong look of confidence in his voice: "I will conquer this place!" ”

Disney is really desperate. Although they have a lot of means at their disposal, it is too late now. Disney even approached Universal directly and tried to persuade Universal to help them influence Frozen's overseas release. Unfortunately, in the end, it ended in nothing. Universal will not hurt its own interests for the sake of Disney, and even wish Disney was unlucky.

In the end, Disney pinned its hopes on Frozen, and the box office only exploded briefly. And Lightning Dog has a super long box office result.

But when the box office results came out in the second week, even this luxury was shattered.

Frozen won $61 million at the box office the following week, successfully surpassing 100 million yuan and continuing to be the weekly box office champion. Lightning Dog, on the other hand, didn't even win $20 million at the box office, only 17 million.

Now the general trend is obvious, no matter how you look at Frozen, it is a gesture to create miracles. And Lightning Dog is destined to be completely suppressed by Frozen!

Hollywood is realistic, and all actions are for profit.

The three major cinema chains contacted Zhang Fan almost after the box office results of the first weekend came out, providing him with a lot of cinema resources. That's the key to why the next week's box office performance dropped so little.

Disney, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. The three major theaters directly informed Disney that from the third week, the number of screens screens released by Lightning Dog will be drastically reduced!

At this time, Disney can no longer care about the failure of Lightning Dog, which has a total investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, and they have completely fallen into the panic of Frozen, which continues to create box office miracles!

"The Japanese region grossed more than $25 million in its first week. Germany is thirteen million. Craun's face was reading a document in his hand at a board meeting, and his face was as heavy as a death sentence issued to him by a court: "Nineteen million dollars in England, fourteen million dollars in France." Australia ......"

When I was talking about the animated movie Frozen, there was always a lot of laughter in this room. Disney's directors all treated the film as a joke by Zhang Fan. But now, the room was eerily quiet, except for the heavy gasps of the board members around him as Cloune read out the numbers.

"How much is it?" The chairman of the board broke the silence in the conference room and asked in a deep voice.

"According to calculations, Frozen's global box office now exceeds $300 million." Clounn sighed and replied, "This is just the beginning. Box office statistics experts say that the animated film has a good chance of grossing more than a billion dollars at the global box office! ”

"It can't be!"

"How so?!"

"Oh God."

"What's wrong with the world?"

"There really is a miracle!"

After hearing Crawn's words, the conference room fryed. I thought it was a promise that I would definitely win, but now it seems that it is going to be directly Disney's rhythm! How can this be acceptable to them.

Clun smiled bitterly, and he didn't want to believe it. But now there is no way, that's the way it is, there is really no way to do it.

In normal times, no matter what kind of powerful work the opponent launches, even if it can win a billion dollars at the global box office, it is nothing to kick Disney off the throne of the animated kingdom. If you lost this year, it's good to come back next year.

But this time it was different!

This Frozen is related to the belonging of Pixar!

How important Pixar is to Disney, they themselves know best. Without Pixar, Disney would really start to go downhill. This is something that Disney cannot accept under any circumstances.

The noise is followed by silence, unspeakable silence. Disney's directors couldn't believe that they might really be losing Pixar.

"Is there any other way?" The chairman of the board of directors was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Can you discuss with Universal and let them hide their overseas box office revenue?" ”

"It's negotiable under normal circumstances." After thinking about it, Crawn shook his head slightly, "But this time, the whole world is paying attention. And this animated movie is extremely high at the box office, which is no longer something that Universal can hide. ”

Crawn's words are very clear, it's not that Disney can't do things with the benefits that can make Universal Tempting. It's that Universal can't do it even if it agrees.

It is impossible to do this in the eyes of the whole world.

"Why don't we arrange for someone to settle that Huaxia boy!" A senior executive of the company couldn't help shouting, "If you get rid of that kid, this matter will be over." ”

"You're in the water, aren't you?" Immediately, some people objected, "What kind of ordinary person do you think the other party is?" That's a billionaire with a net worth of at least a billion dollars! And he is also a well-known star in the world. If this kind of thing really comes out, none of these people here today will want to escape! ”

It may be difficult to get a hold of a big star, but it's not impossible. But if you think that the rich man starts, he is asking for trouble for himself.

There are so many rich people in the world, but how many people dare to attack them? Who has really made a move, and who can really escape? This is a rule that everyone knows, and attacking any super-rich person will attract other rich people to fight back! Because once this kind of thing starts, it can't be stopped! Even if they are directors of Disney, they will definitely be completely overwhelmed by this wave!

"So what are we going to do?" Finally someone asked the question.
