Disney in order to fight Zhang Fan and Pixar. The total investment in this long-term development company, which has been built with a lot of money, has even exceeded 400 million US dollars in other aspects!

With such high production costs and publicity expenses, the box office results have not even recovered the cost. This made everyone up and down Disney very annoyed and angry.

The most important reason why they invested so much to produce such an animated film was because they had already known about the agreement between Zhang Fan and Pixar executives. Know that if this Toy Story fails, Pixar's top management and technical elite can choose to leave!

In order to be able to obtain these elites and technicians, Disney specially invested a lot of money to build this long-haired princess to stop Zhang Fan's toy story. So that it is easy to get those good talents.

Disney's idea was good, and they did the same. But the result disappointed everyone.

The eventual box office performance of this hugely expensive animated film was not even enough for the cost, and the global box office was less than $400 million. Not all of these box offices are for Disney, they also have to share with the theater chain, and they also have to pay taxes and other expenses. It is estimated that even the publicity expenses cannot be paid for when it really falls into the hands.

In fact, the standard of this movie is still good. After all, Disney has been making animated films for so many years, and it is not difficult to make a successful one. And this time the investment is so big. Under normal circumstances, there should be no problem with the animated film grossing more than $600 million worldwide. Although this box office has not completely recovered its cost, it will still be able to make money in the future by relying on peripheral sales.

However, this animated film meets Toy Story out of the blue.

Who in this era has never played with toys? These toys that carry the dreams of childhood have become movies that can talk, move, and think. The vast majority of people will like it.

In the face of such a strong opponent, how does Disney's traditional animated film Rapunzel fight against it?

It's like when the animated movie of the robot cat comes out in the Japanese film market, all kinds of movies are shunned. Movies that carry childhood dreams will be sought after by adults who have grown up. Look at childhood dreams on the big screen, and the money spent on a movie ticket is nothing at all.

In fact, this Rapunzel princess is more of a shadow imitating the frozen launched by Zhang Fan before. The magic of Frozen spurred Disney, after all, this kind of traditional animated film has always been Disney's forte. However, he was given the upper hand by Zhang Fan, a newcomer. Not only did it win a staggering billion dollars at the global box office, but it also occupied the box office champion of animated films.

In this case, how could Disney be willing. This is the Rapunzel that clearly has traces of imitating Frozen.

However, it has always been the first to eat crabs in various industries to taste freshness. The miracle of Frozen is not so easy to replicate. Moreover, this type of animated film has just appeared as a global hit of Frozen, and it is too difficult for Disney to launch a similar type of movie to cause a sensation again.

Disney's stock, which was already gradually falling, fell again after being hit hard. For a while, Disney actually had the feeling that the rain was coming.

"Don't worry. Christopher said with a relaxed look on Disney's board of directors, "This loss is nothing." The gains since we entered the futures market and more than offset this loss. ”

Christopher's words relieved the audience. After all, successive losses are still such large-scale losses, which makes everyone here feel tremendous pressure. After all, hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost in a short period of time, and each of these company executives here is under tremendous pressure.

"How much did you make?" someone asked about the topic that everyone cared about. No one cares about money.

"So far, we've made about a billion dollars from our contracts. Christopher's words stirred everyone in the room. It's unbelievable how much money you can make in such a short period of time!

"So many?" Clone was also shocked. He had no idea that the futures market would be so profitable. It's only been a little more than a month, and it's already earned a billion dollars?! How much does Disney earn in a year!

"That's thanks to our competitor. Christopher had an irrepressible smile on his face, "Thanks to his investment of a lot of money and continuous pick-up, he lost as much as we earned." I really want to thank him this time. All the income from Zhang Fan's movies here was given to us. ”

"Doesn't that mean that Zhang Fan has lost a billion dollars?" someone on the side asked.

"Far more than that. Christopher sneered, "We're not the only ones buying and falling in the gold futures market. Now the money to buy down far exceeds the money to buy up. Zhang Fan didn't know if he lost money to our family. Although someone shared it with him, I estimate that he has lost at least more than five billion dollars!"

"Hiss~~~" There was a sound of inhalation in the conference room. Five billion dollars! What a huge number! Zhang Fan actually lost so much money in just two months, and a loser is not so defeated!

This is Zhang Fan's own money, if his parents' money was probably killed, it would have been killed a long time ago.

"Don't look at how beautiful Zhang Fan seems to be in the film market now. Christopher's words could not hide his excitement, "but in fact, his family has been lost." If he doesn't quit and wants to keep going. I estimate that he will lose everything in half a month at most, and even owe a large amount of money to the bank. ”

After a pause, Christopher then playfully said, "Maybe it won't be long before we can see Zhang Fan performing a trapeze act on TV." ”

There was silence in the room. They had seen the excitement of making a lot of money in the futures market, but now they thought of the terrible end of failure. Everyone was not in the mood to gloat over Zhang Fan at this time. They're all thinking about what they would do if something like this happened to them, and the results were chilling just thinking about it.

After a moment of silence, Crawn spoke softly, "Since we've made so much money. That can be regarded as an explanation for shareholders. Is it possible to get out now?"

"yes, yes. Most of the people in the room echoed the words. Most of the others had the expressions they should have.

After all, he has made a lot of money now, and he still has more than enough to make up for the losses of the Chronicles of Narnia and Rapunzel. In this case, it is simply the perfect choice.

"Listen to me!" Christopher, who proposed the plan and made a great profit, spoke with a strong confidence at this time. He abruptly stood up and looked around at everyone in the room. After everyone's eyes were on him, Christopher smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you, we're making some money now, but it's not much. And such a good opportunity like this may be difficult to come across in the future. The most important thing is that you don't want the good things in Zhang Fan's hands anymore? Don't you want Pixar anymore?"

Seeing that everyone fell silent again, Christopher triumphantly said, "And our agreement with Citibank is that we won't get the right of first refusal until the end of the contract." If you leave the market now, after deducting various expenses, you will just wipe out the losses of the Chronicles of Narnia and Rapunzel. But this is the best chance to give up to become the king of Hollywood! The superheroes in Zhang Fan's hands, his best-selling adaptation rights, and Pixar! Once we have these, then Disney will inevitably become the well-deserved king of the whole of Hollywood! No one will be able to compete with us!"

Christopher spoke to everyone's expectations.

With Disney's strong strength at this time, if you add many best-selling adaptation rights in Zhang Fan's hands, the copyright of Marvel superhero movies still has Pixar. Then they will inevitably surpass all their Hollywood counterparts and become the strongest king film company. The entire world's film industry will tremble for Disney. Now is the perfect time to make this great wish come true. It's impossible not to be impressed.

"In less than a month. Christopher looked around like a lion king patrolling his territory, "It will take less than a month for us to get everything we want!

Christopher, of course, isn't entirely thinking about Disney. The reason why he opposes Disney's withdrawal now, in addition to what he said before, is that Disney has a lot of money in the gold futures market. Now is the critical moment for the short side to suppress the long side, and Christopher, who has invested all his wealth in this market, naturally does not want to see Disney, a heavyweight ally, retreat.

In the futures market, either the long or short side needs a large amount of money on their side. Even a dollar counts, let alone a heavyweight like Disney.

Clown's brow furrowed, he keenly sensed that Christopher had other plans in mind. It's just that now is the moment when Christopher lifts everyone's predicament and brings a lot of income to Disney, and he can't question Christopher at this time. After all, no matter where you are, the voice of successful people is always important.

The meeting room was bustling again. Everyone began to discuss with each other.

As Christopher said, this is indeed a very rare opportunity. An opportunity for Disney to become the king of Hollywood and the entire world film industry in one fell swoop. If Disney can take everything that Zhang Fan has now, then there will be no one in the entire industry who has the strength to compete with them.

Now this great opportunity is in front of us, and no one will not be impressed.

Disney executives, their hearts are moved.
