Chapter 37: Premiere as usual
Michael? Eisner was stunned for a long time after seeing Caesar's declaration of war on TV.
As the owner of a film company, such a merciless tearing of the skin cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it is absolutely rare in the world.
But when you think about it, Caesar is actually cautious in his arrogance.
Although he is full of speculation, he basically pointed all the fingers at Disney, and did not mention anything about Columbia and Paramount, which may be involved.
It seems that because he is young, he is stunned, but in fact, he only warns other companies, and the real target is only Disney.
After the live broadcast, Caesar drew the final draft of the character image of "The Lion King" overnight, and the copy has been sent to Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of FFF.
Caesar decided to go head-to-head with Disney, and the first blow started with "The Lion King".
As the perfect hit of a Disney pure 2D animated film from Caesar's previous life, The Lion King is the best choice for playing Disney's stuffy sticks.
In the future after "The Lion King", the animation industry will be the world of pure CG cartoons and cartoons combining CG and hand-drawn, and pure hand-drawn animation will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
Disney, as the overlord of animated films, was too slow to react and turn around when facing the transition period from hand-drawn to CG, which led to a period of loss for Disney, which was the best period for Caesar to oust Eisner.
Because of the above reasons, Caesar still announced the animated film plan, even if the whole information is only the name "The Lion King", the media still used a lot of space to report Caesar's naked revenge.
Caesar's fans are even more applauding, just after being provoked, they made a sharp counterattack, only such a happy grudge is what young people should do, and not provoking is in line with Caesar's character and name.
Everybody knows. Since "Snow White", hand-drawn feature-length animated films have always been Disney's traditional strength, and no one has been able to shake Disney's position in the field of animated films.
Caesar made his debut in comics, from the comics of "Garfield" to the animation of "Transformers", and then to "Shoulders of Gold" some time ago, it is not too much to be crowned as an "anime master". After all, in the comic world. There are many cartoonists who can be called masters with a classic, let alone a prolific cartoonist like Caesar.
Now that Caesar is being provoked, he is directly about to defeat the other party in the field that the other side does best, and this style is deeply liked by the American people.
Seeing the support of fans in the newspaper, Caesar was only moved, he knew that he was actually just using the topic to play, and he had already snatched Marvel, the biggest cash cow, from the hands of the future Disney, and he didn't have so many scruples when he started again.
Caesar just wanted to be so and that and he didn't want to expose his aggressive posture. I want to fight across the field again, and at the same time, I can stick a knife in Disney's chest.
Originally, he thought that such a good opportunity could not come at once. Unexpectedly, Eisner kicked his nose in the face and delivered the knife to the door himself.
How could such an opportunity be missed? Of course, if there is a series of chain reactions, or even a mass reduction of Disney employees, Caesar will definitely take over. He doesn't want to hurt the innocent, not to mention that it's a rare talent.
A relentless frontal attack against Caesar. The Disney board of directors has held an internal hearing to ask Eisner for an explanation.
Poor Eisner, what can you say? Even if he sees that Caesar will sooner or later touch Disney's core interests, what is the use of him just seeing it, and others will have to believe it......
You know, Ace has been living at Disney since then. He's been playing the role of a clown who sends him to the door.
Caesar buys a film company, but he Eisner smashes it in the office, and he doesn't know what kind of anger he has.
Caesar only laughed when he knew this. That's the difference between a boss who is a solitary boss and a mere CEO.
Part-time emperor? Even if people reward you with some shares, won't you still work after all?
The time came quickly, December 1st. The world premiere of Home Alone officially began at the Broadway Theater in New York's Times Square.
Caesar's style is consistent with introduction and confidence, and there is no need for the lively atmosphere and creative elaboration that precedes the feature film, and in fact, the audience is not here to listen to the creative team's rambling nonsense.
Those who have the strength to work directly, and the weak-hearted guy will fix so many demon moths before the feature film. It took so much time and money to promote it in the early stage, and the audience was already sitting in the audience, and they still didn't let go of the nonsense?
At Caesar's strong request, Universal finally agreed to release the feature film directly.
As is customary, the trailer was shown after the lights went out, one was Arnold's "Dragon Brother and Mouse", and the other was Dustin Hoffman and Tom? Cruise's Rain Man.
These two movies are also competitors in the Christmas file, and those who dare to make a wave in this schedule are all relied on.
"Dragon Brother and Rat Brother" has Arnold to support the scene, no matter how low the box office is, it is impossible to lose money, "Rain Man" focuses on "special people", "family affection" and Hoffman's "acting" three cards, it can be said that the ambition is not small, it is a typical award-winning film.
But Caesar is not false at all, you must know that Caesar has been transformed by Caesar in this life, ten-year-old Liv? Taylor is simply the embodiment of "moe".
In the face of such a Liv, if she can still insist on not watching the movie repeatedly, Caesar can only look up to the sky and sigh, and sure enough, people's hearts are like iron......
In fact, if you take a closer look, the three movies have played a hand of family affection, "Dragon Brother and Rat Brother" and "Rain Man" both focus on rendering brotherhood, and "Home Alone" is the purest family affection in the hearts of children.
So Caesar will feel that he has a better chance of winning, just because the main body of Christmas is - children!
Christmas, as the most important festival in the West, is actually the same as the Chinese New Year, which is a children's holiday.
The older a person gets, the less interested they are in Chinese New Year and Christmas. Many times, adults just want to take advantage of this rare vacation to relax and rest, but they have to rack their brains for the children's eating, drinking, and playing, and even after the holiday, they are physically and mentally exhausted, which is even more tiring than work.
Who is the main character of Home Alone? Child! Who is the subject of the audience? Child!
Now, the kids want to watch it again...... What can you do as a parent? Can you still throw down the child and pout and fly?
Under this judgment, Caesar had that intuitive self-confidence, and this self-confidence was so contagious that it could not be achieved by verbal incitement.
At the end of the trailer, the audience also warmed up, completely quieted down, and quickly entered the state of watching the movie.
After the opening of Universal flashes, the screen fades to light, and a man dressed as a police officer rings the doorbell of the door of a standard American-style single-family bungalow.
The door was not opened by an adult, but by a man and a woman, two minors, who were no more than 14 years old, and the two of them opened the door while arguing, and after the two saw the police, they only had a simple question and answer about the donkey's lips and horses' mouths, and then the two completely ignored the police outside the door and continued to talk about it.
While observing the situation in the house, the police stopped everyone who passed in front of him, trying to find out if the head of the household was there.
Unfortunately, the people in the whole house have become a mess, and no one takes the extra police at the gate seriously.
The audience follows the police's point of view, and when dressed and decorated, they will find that this is a "big family" with an upper middle class, because there are about ten bear children alone.
As the camera moves all the way from the first floor to the second floor, Liv? Taylor finally appeared on screen.
Just for the first appearance, Little Liv filled the entire theater with exclamations.
In the words of the crew at the time of filming, "All the dolls in the world are like shit in front of Liv!" ”
The dark brown ear-length short hair is combed into two pigtails, and the white and red skin shines with a healthy luster, although she is young, but her delicate face no longer needs to make people look forward to her growing up, because with her face alone, Liv, who is only ten years old? Taylor has become impeccable.
A pair of dark blue eyes are like a pair of crystals, watery as if they can drip out the crystals of innocence at any time. When you smile, you will slightly show two small tiger teeth, and when you laugh, you will clearly see the teeth that are caused by the tooth replacement period.
Dressed in orange pajamas, small blue slippers, and trembling with two pigtails when he walked, he looked like a lively fawn.
If there is Lori who is here, she will definitely take some drastic action because she can't help it.
What made the audience laugh more than that this little girl turned out to be a naughty bag, and her strong curiosity and excitement made her stir up the family without much effort.
In addition, her sisters are jealous of her and always look for opportunities to bully her. With a few simple shots and few lines, Caesar sketches the outline of Liv, the little mischievous protagonist, and most of the family.
The attitude of her parents towards her is also very frustrating, but the elf-like girl in front of her seems to be a Cinderella-like character.
People can't blame the little girl's parents too much, there are so many children in this family, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and they really can't take care of them.
This group of little villains, if they didn't set the house on fire, they can be regarded as the head of the household.
The first minute or two, Liv? Taylor alone is like a black hole of vision, which can firmly attract everyone's attention, and at the same time, it is also the source of Caesar's great confidence.
The appearance of the pizza cart knocked down the bronze statue outside the house, and the pizza boy lifted the bronze statue in a panic, the scene was slightly comical, but also a sign that the building would encounter an unusual incident.
Soon, after her favorite cheese pizza was snatched away by her sister, the little heroine finally issued a curse that "touched the heavens and the earth".
Let my family disappear completely! (To be continued......)
