After a lot of flickering and moving, Lucasfilm's computer special studio finally succeeded in changing hands, and Industrial Light & Magic definitely can't get it, at least not yet.

Under Mo Fei's persuasion, Lucas is no longer so inadequate, Lucasfilm's theatrical sound system THX and Skywalker sound studio, as well as physical effects and model studios, have each been 40% owned by Mo Fei, and the price Mo Fei has to pay is 12 million dollars.

Five million of them were used as funds for the operation of the computer special effects studio, and Lucas really had no money, and the computer studio had no financial reserves, so it was no wonder that he had to sell it.

After taking the studio, the first person was to change his name, but he didn't even want to think about it, and directly took out the name "Pixar" in his previous life and used it.

The next step is to start production, Joe is a good hand at playing computers, but in terms of movies, he is a complete rookie, and he has to be a master of this expert.

The studio that has just taken over also needs to stabilize people's hearts and other operations, but there are no special arrangements, announcing that the original personnel placement will not change, and everyone's salary will be increased with some promises, etc., and then it is three things to open the door.

The first is to formulate the leader of the studio, that is, the new official Qiao gang leader, as long as it is not a key decision, it is basically based on the orders of the Qiao gang leader, as a boss and investor, except for the general direction of the designation, basically will not participate in the daily operation.

The second point is to delineate the development goal of the studio, which is to become the most important and even the leading computer special effects team of the festival. The research and development of screen processing software and the production of computer animation films are the primary business, the production of animation special effects for various films is the secondary business, and the production of animation advertising business and animated short films is the auxiliary business.

The third point is more realistic. It is also to be implemented now, and no one likes projects that do not generate profits by investing alone, so the product must keep up. The studio's own promotional video and title should be made, and this one is also the same as the small table lamp in the previous life; Then four more scripts and some artwork were thrown out, and that's the big money for the future.

Mo Fei picked up the three thicker scripts and a stack of artwork above, and explained to Jobs and chief animator John Rest: "This script is called "The Little Mermaid", which is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Mermaid". These artworks are the images of the characters in the play, and I made them out in a hurry, and there may be some places that are not so beautiful. You can process it a little bit, this story is relatively easy to make, and we will spend a year and a half to get it out and strive to release it in next year's Christmas file.

This script "Beauty and the Beast". Adapted from a famous French fairy tale. There have been quite a few film and stage adaptations in the past; This script is "Aladdin", a classic story in "One Thousand and One Nights", I believe you should be familiar with it. "Beauty and the Beast" is planned to be released in the summer of '88, and "Aladdin" will be produced a little later before the summer of '90, and the difficulty of these three scripts should be said to be great, so we have to try to make it as beautiful as possible, and the audience will be more happy when they spend money. ”

Then he picked up the thin script and thick album below, and said, "This story is called 'The Simpsons.'" It's a relatively jaundice funny cartoon drama, and I'm going to buy a TV station. It's a lot easier to make than the previous three films, but it's probably the most lucrative of all, and it's going to surprise you by making it before June. ”

There is no doubt that the means shown in the movie are powerful, even Jobs has learned a lot in the past two days, and now Mo Fei is talking about this cartoon drama so mysteriously, Qiao Gang focuses on the graphic part, and can't help but open the album and look through it.

It doesn't matter if I look at it, I was almost shocked by the drawings that were close to cerebral palsy, shook the artwork in my hand, and asked Mo Fei in disbelief: "Mo, are you sure that these things are drawn by you, this is completely incomparable with the images of the princess and prince in front, are you sure that such a cartoon drama can bring us rich benefits?" ”

The frog at the bottom of the well looked at Jobs and John Lester with the same confused face as if he were looking at a hillbilly, but he had to explain: "Like, I'm pretty sure that I drew all these things, but I'm also sure that these things can definitely bring us a lot of money." Perhaps these tasks may seem absurd, or even inconspicuous at all, and even the children who have just entered elementary school can draw better than this, and they are all better than this Yumei, but I still think that these ugly guys are equal to the green Franklin, and the amount is huge.

But don't forget, I'm the owner of this studio, and I've invested 10 million here, and I'm going to invest more money in these four scripts, maybe more than 100 million dollars. So I should be the one who needs to worry about these investments the most, but at the same time I'm also a film and TV producer, and I'm sure I will definitely not have a problem with my vision, you two, you just wait for your wrists to ache because of bookmarks, believe me yes, at least I won't have trouble with my own money. Or you may think, there are so many producers in Hollywood, and there are not a few who lose money, but please ask me and recall, have the movies and series I invested in fail? You can only get one answer, never, so I won't fail this time. ”

"The Simpsons", a cartoon series featuring bad students, is not just a cartoon series, but also an extremely crazy cartoon drama, which has had a huge impact on American language and television programs, and has even become a cultural symbol. Board games, video games, comic books, DVDs, movies and other audio-visual and printed materials, ice cream, cola, donuts and other food and beverage products have all been spun off.

In addition to its influence, its ability to attract money is even more terrifying, after Fox made this cartoon drama in his previous life, in just a year and a half, he earned back more than two billion dollars in the world, and it is unimaginable how much money can be made in twenty years, thirty years, or even longer.

If you want to say how crazy this cartoon drama is, you only need to give an example to illustrate, because there is a suspicion of praise and praise for students who do not study well in the film, this cartoon drama enjoyed the treatment of being severely criticized by the then vice president of the United States, Lao Immortal, but this criticism could not stop the heat and madness of the show, and it swept the world directly, if this is not a success, then how much is successful.

Similarly, Mo Fei's other three animated movie scripts are not necessarily annoying, and Mo Fei's three scripts can also be said to be sinister, of course, it is a great good thing for himself or Phoenix Culture and Pixar Studios.

"The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Aladdin" are the twenty-eighth, thirtieth and thirty-first classic animated feature films of Disney, respectively, with a total cost of more than $93 million and a box office of more than $1 billion.

Since entering the 80s of the twentieth century, Disney's animated feature films have not been successful in the market, from "The Fox and the Hound Dog" to "The Legend of the Black God Cauldron", to "Wonderful Dog" and "The Adventures of Oliva", the highest box office performance is only more than 70 million, and the investment failure is also criticized.

It wasn't until the launch of "The Little Mermaid" in the late eighties that Disney changed its decline, won more than 200 million box office, and also got a respite, seizing the time to launch "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" in a row, finally stabilizing Disney's position in the animation industry and opening up a Renaissance era belonging to Disney.

And the launch of these three movies also allowed the declining Broadway revue to find a new way out, and made a beautiful comeback through the movie. Therefore, these three animated films are definitely an extremely important part of the history of American cinema and even the history of animated films in the world.

Peers must be enemies, the enemy's success is their own failure, what we have to do now is to directly cut off Disney's back road, let Disney fall into a dead loop with no way out, and replace it with Pixar.

Maybe Disney can survive for a while longer, but it only delays the deadline for death, and the terminal illness is incurable. It won't be long before animated films become Pixar's domain, and no other company can compete with it, and that's just one step in Phoenix's dominance of the film industry.

If you don't take Pixar, you don't have the confidence, you must know that the reason why Disney in the previous life has been crazy since the end of the twentieth century and dominated the animated film market, Pixar has contributed a lot to it, which is why Disney is willing to merge Pixar at a cost of more than $7 billion.

But now that Pixar is in his pocket, coupled with the advantage of the unpredictable prophet, there is every reason and confidence to carry out this future giant company in advance.

WhatsMiner Disney Princess Series, WhatsMiner Disney Theme Park, WhatsMiner Disney Cruises, Walking Around with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in Arms, is the highest treatment, one of the representatives of American movies, can only be nothing more than that.

Of course, as a foreigner, it is not easy to dominate Hollywood, and it is necessary to learn from the fact that the Japanese acquired Columbia and MGM in the first place.

Fortunately, the old-timers have already given experience, to do this kind of thing, you have to pull a group to fight a group, you can't do it without allies, Hollywood has eight major film companies, and there are not a few people who can cooperate. (To be continued)
