Many of Hollywood's cartoons are also big hits, and even the box office is not inferior to the big production of live-action movies, "Shrek" is a very good cartoon both word-of-mouth and box office, and it meets the taste of adults, which is suitable for all ages.

This is the first animated film that Fang Yang cooperated with DreamWorks, he personally served as the director, Danny served as the assistant director, for the position of the assistant director, they still had some arguments, Danny thought that his old profession was engaged in animation, he was an expert, and Fang Yang didn't know anything about animation, and it was completely a layman commanding an insider, of course, Fang Yang's consistent tough style made him powerless to change anything.

Fang Yang completely handed over the crew of "Alice" to Zhao Wei to get it, and concentrated on making cartoons by himself, although he didn't know how to animate zuò, but he had an appreciative eye beyond this era, as a director, he only had to tell him what plot to make what effect was needed, and then connected the various plots together, and a cartoon was completed.

In the final analysis, whether it is a live-action movie or an animated movie, the most important thing is the plot, and the rest are just auxiliary, many low-cost small productions often get high box office, all of which are excellent plots, so Fang Yang only needs to grasp the diǎn of the plot, as long as the plot is consistent with the original work, he is already invincible, in terms of effect, the investment of 50 million is not in vain, according to the cost of the system, it is 5 million more than Disney's work "The Lion King" in previous years.

"The Lion King" is the highest-grossing animated film so far, with a production cost of more than 40 million yuan and a box office income of nearly one billion US dollars, throwing many Hollywood live-action movie productions out of a few streets, Fang Yang didn't dare to think that the first cartoon would surpass the classics, but "Shrek" has a series of sequels, the highest-grossing is "Shrek 2", which is $920 million at the box office in the original time and space, although it is not as good as "The Lion King", but it is also a cartoon that makes a lot of money.

DreamWorks has never made an animated movie, and a press conference was held when "Shrek" was launched, at which Danny was asked by reporters: "May I ask President Danny, it is said that you and Mr. William, the president of Disney, do not ¥∑dǐng¥∑diǎn¥∑ small ¥∑ said, .≈.o←s_(); And, is DreamWorks' foray into animated films a counterattack on Mr. William? ”

Danny said: "The rumors are pure rumors, I have always been friends with Mr. William, come out to do business, how can anyone get along with whom, my entry into animated films this time is nothing more than for money, animated films are a huge demand market, Disney alone can not digest this market at all." ”

A reporter said: "Mr. Danny, but Disney's Mr. William has spoken out that DreamWorks simply does not have the ability to produce wonderful cartoons." ”

Danny was not angry, and said: "DreamWorks alone really doesn't have the ability to produce a wonderful cartoon like The Lion King, but we are now working with the genius director Fang Yang, and I believe that Shrek is a cartoon that is not inferior to The Lion King." ”

The reporter turned to ask Fang Yang: "May I ask Director Fang Yang, Inception has given you a firm foothold in Hollywood, but aren't you filming Alice in Wonderland?" Shooting two movies at the same time will not leave an irresponsible impression on fans. ”

Fang Yang said: "Fang Yang's production must be a high-quality product, please rest assured, Alice in Wonderland is now mainly in charge of director Zhao Wei, her talent and ability are not below me, in addition, I will explain to you that DreamWorks Animation's animation production capacity is already the highest level in Hollywood, I think DreamWorks will become the world's leading animation company." ”

Fang Yang and Danny touted each other, Roland's "The Day After Tomorrow" has been completed, promoted and distributed by DreamWorks, and soon scheduled to be released, this is not the first Hollywood disaster film, but it is the most successful disaster film so far, the first day of release won $30 million at the global box office, and the word-of-mouth is extremely inconsistent, and the consensus is that the plot is simple but the scenes are shocking.

"Yes, the plot of this movie is very stupid. What is surprising is that the scenes in the film are very scary. The stunts of the film are extremely shocking in such a terrible film work, although funny. (Chicago Sun-Times review)

"Although it was criticized for the simplicity of the plot, the visual impact is really great, and there are many classic shots: the national flag is frozen, and New York is quick-frozen, which is quite shocking" (Douban.com)

On this day, Danny happily said to Fang Yang: "The total box office is settled, 544 million US dollars, deducting distribution fees, etc., the net profit is 240 million US dollars, and we will split the account between 50 and 120 million US dollars per person." ”

Fang Yang is still satisfied with this profit, each person invests only 50 million and earns 120 million, and the box office profit of 70 million alone is not much, but there is a steady stream of peripheral copyright income such as videotapes in the later stage, and there is no problem with a total of 100 million US dollars, and the copyright fee is Fang Yang's majority, as long as he wants to sell the copyright of the sequel, tens of millions of dollars can be sold casually.

In addition to Fang Yang and Danny making a lot of money, director Roland also became famous, with this movie joined the 500 million director club and became a god-level director in Hollywood, and his value immediately doubled, but he still kept a low profile in front of Danny and Fang Yang, and he had long heard that Fang Yang also had a script for "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" in his hand, so he begged Fang Yang in a low voice.

"Dear Yang, I was picked up by you and Danny, and you don't want to fall off the altar when you see my next movie! Please, give me the script for Adventures in the Center of the Earth, Danny said that this script has a head, I believe in his vision, and I believe in your talent. ”

"Adventure in the Center of the Earth" was originally reserved for him to shoot, but Fang Yang has changed his mind now, he verified the market for disaster movies from the big sales of "The Day After Tomorrow", and also found that Roland is very suitable for shooting disaster movies, so he said: "The script of Adventure in the Center of the Earth can't be given to you." ”

Roland's face was full of disappointment, but he heard Fang Yang continue: "I have a new script for you, which is also a disaster movie, I think it is more suitable for you." ”

Roland was overjoyed, took the script and looked at it and said, "2012? Great, I do prefer to make disaster movies. ”

After reading the script, Roland was even more excited, this script surpassed "The Day After Tomorrow" in terms of plot and scenes, Maya's prediction of the end of the world in 2012 was widely circulated around the world, which was a very big boo. (To be continued.) )
