The premiere of "Toy Story" was full of contradictions and silent confrontations, and at the same time very puzzling.

As for why this is so?

The reason is very simple, Disney has set a premiere time for November 19 at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, and will hold a large-scale premiere for "Toy Story".

However, Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar Animation Studios, did not choose to attend, but held his own Toy Story premiere in San Francisco the next night.

Celebrities from Wava Valley were invited, such as Oracle founder Larry Ellison and Intel Corporation Chairman Andy Grove, among others, and the momentum faintly overshadowed the premiere held by Disney.

Between Disney and Steve Jobs, a rare duel was derived.

As a result, it will not be until the 22nd that "Toy Story" will be officially released.

The premiere on the 19th, the premiere on the 20th, and the official North American release on the 22nd.

Even in Hollywood, it's rare to see such a scene,

In this regard, media reporters with a sensitive sense of smell are excited, and it is obvious that the partnership between Disney and Steve Jobs is not as close as imagined, or full of contradictions.

As for the cause?

In addition to the demanding deal signed with Disney in the early days, there was a lot of hardship during the creation of Toy Story, and every few weeks, John Lasseter and his team would show Disney the latest version or footage of the story to convince Disney to continue funding.

There is also the hand-drawn animation "The Lion King" released last summer, with a box office revenue of $422.8 million in North America and $545.7 million in other countries and regions, with a total global box office of $968.5 million, bringing Disney a profit of $763.4 million.

At that time, if it weren't for Pixar Animation Studios, which had already completed most of the production, and John Lasseter persuaded many Disney executives with his actions, I am afraid that "Toy Story" would have faced discontinuation.

Faced with two different invitations, Ryan also hesitated to wait another day for the premiere hosted by Steve Jobs.

However, it was clearly impossible for him to leave Los Angeles for San Francisco just to attend a premiere, and ultimately chose Disney for the premiere.

As soon as the sun went down and there was a deafening music, an elongated Lincoln pulled up at the back door of the El Capitan Theater, and Ryan and his party pushed the door and got out of the car and walked towards the theater.

"Two premieres?" Monica Bellucci wondered, a little puzzled as to why there were two premieres, and both of them were held in North America.

"Steve Jobs was a man of high heart. ”

Ryan walked into the front room, as expected, without seeing Steve Jobs, and said: "When he meets Michael Eisner and Disney, who are also hardliners, there will inevitably be some arguments between the two. ”

Before the premiere of "Toy Story", Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar Animation Studio, made a public statement.

If Toy Story had been only a modest success – let's say $75 million at the box office, we (Pixar and Disney) would have broken even.

If it's $100 million at the box office, we can all make money. But if it's a real blockbuster and it gets to around $200 million at the box office, we're going to make a lot of money, and Disney is going to make a lot of money.

He was right about one thing, according to the cooperation agreement signed at the beginning, Disney will make a lot of money, even far more than Pixar Animation Studios itself.

This is also the main point of contradiction between the two sides.

Chris Witch shrugged his shoulders and said, "Steve Jobs, Pixar Animation Studios and Disney have a complicated relationship. ”

There are some things that concern John Lasseter, and he doesn't have much to say.

Of course, the complex relationship between them is a well-known thing in almost the entire animation industry.

"Steve Jobs' choice to work with Disney was not a wise decision. Ryan gets to the point.

Hand-drawn animation is the foundation of Disney's fame, and Pixar Animation Studios' 3D animation technology may shake the foundation of Disney, even if a cooperation agreement is reluctantly reached, it will inevitably be full of contradictions, unless one party takes the initiative to back down.

The contradiction between the two sides in the previous life has not disappeared until Disney buys Pixar Animation Studios and Steve Jobs becomes the largest single shareholder of Disney, and the contradiction between the two is over.

"However, these things have nothing to do with us. Ryan doesn't focus too much on that.

Before a few people could sit down, there was a sudden cheer outside.

"Tom Hanks!"

"Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks!"

"I love you!"

Tom Hanks, who had just gotten out of the car, was greeted with huge cheers, and hundreds of fans held huge promotional posters and frantically chanted his name.

Walking into the theater, Ryan sat down, looked sideways at Helen and asked, "You took over Disney's business?"

Helen turned to look at him and said lightly: "Not all Hollywood stars will look for me. ”

"Besides, Tom Hanks doesn't need to be like that. ”

"I thought you had another long-term client. Ryan smiled.

Tom Hanks starred in "The Philadelphia Story" and "Forrest Gump" one after another, won two consecutive Oscars for Best Actor, and has become one of the only superstars in Hollywood.

With his popularity and popularity, there is no need for any temporary fans at all.

Those self-formed fan groups are more professional than temporary fans.

"Hi Ryan, long time no see. ”

Tom Hanks walked into the theater, saw Ryan and the others at a glance, his face was a little hesitant, he walked over, and said, "I'm very sorry for that incident at the beginning." ”

He never imagined that an ordinary temporary worker who was loudly reprimanded by Robert Zemeckis all day long in the crew would even be kicked out of the crew.

In less than two years, he has become a well-known director in Hollywood, directing several successful low-budget films one after another, including the "Chainsaw" series that has made countless Hollywood studios hot.

Seeing Tom Hanks coming over, Ryan stood up, showed a very happy smile, and said, "Hey, Tom, let him go through the original incident." ”

It's not that he's generous, it's that the whole thing has nothing to do with him, and the Ryan Gosling in the past has long since seen God.

Tom Hanks was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ryan in front of him to be so generous.

"When we have time, we can sit down together and have a drink. ”

After saying that, Tom Hanks said goodbye and left, and in a while he will go on stage to perform a show with other voice actors.

With Tom Hanks leaving, Sofia Coppola's eyes flickered and asked, "Is it the crew of Forrest Gump?"

Rumors about Ryan being kicked out of the crew of "Forrest Gump", she naturally heard about it.

Ryan ignored her, thought for a while, and said to Chris Witch: "The influence of a big-name movie star, obviously, maybe we can also choose a big-name star to voice the film." ”

The voice of Woody, one of the main characters of "Toy Story", was done by Tom Hanks.

"Very good advice. ”

"Try to pick some of the right Hollywood stars to approach. ”

Chris Witch very much agrees with Ryan's proposal, and the popularity and influence that Tom Hanks brings to "Toy Story" is obvious.

"How's Leonardo DiCapri?" Ryan quickly named a candidate.

Dish Onardo DiCapri?

Chris Weiqi was a little dazed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember who Leonardo DiCapri was.

Xiao Lizi in this period, although he has starred in many films, has not really become famous, for people who don't pay attention to Hollywood, it is normal not to know the name of Leonardo DiCapri, even some Hollywood veterans, and they may not know who Xiao Lizi is.

"I think I've heard of this name, on the Oscars!" Monica Bellucci remembers hearing about Little Plum on the Oscars.

"Dish Onardo DiCapri!"

"The male protagonist of Cameron's new work. Helen quickly remembered who Leonardo DiCapri was.

The male protagonist of Cameron's new work!

Chris Waige naturally knew who the famous Cameron was, a legendary director, nodded and said, "I'll have someone contact his agent." ”

Since he is the male protagonist of Cameron's new work, there must be differences.
