Chapter 184 Spider-Man, Little Wizard, and Peppa Pig
Zhuke and Nolan, who had finished their trip to Cannes, did not stay in Europe. The next day, took the earliest flight of the day and went back to America.
After all, Zucker still has a lot of business to deal with.
Wald Pictures.
"Boss, congratulations on winning the grand prize." Kevin Feige and others quickly congratulated.
Zhuke smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, it's just a small award in the short film unit. One day I won the Oscar for Best Director and the Cannes Film Festival, it's not too late for you to congratulate me."
“Boss, you are talking about it.”
There is no doubt that Zhu Ke Xiao is floating!
Several other executives of Wald Pictures also sent congratulations and also dug out several newspapers in the United States this morning. Well, it was an exaggeration of Zucker and Nolan's remarks.
"Okay, everyone."
Zhuke adjusted his mindset and said solemnly: "I'm here today to announce two things."
Facing Zhuke, Kevin Feige and other executives were stunned.
"As it true?" Kevin Feige's eyes shrank.
In fact, as early as when Zucker turned to America, he did not return to the villa, but appeared directly at Wald Pictures. Kevin Feige, who was born sensitive, had a bad premonition.
"The first thing!"
"Former 20th Century Fox CEO Bill McNick has accepted my invitation to serve as president of Wald Pictures..."
In an instant, before Zhu Ke finished speaking, many executives present made uproars.
"Mr. Feich?" a senior executive muttered.
For a moment, everyone present accidentally left Kevin Feige, the vice president.
You should know that before, although Kevin Feige was nominally the vice president, he was responsible for the specific work of the entire Wald Pictures, and he was the president in the actual sense and the top leader.
Now, Bill McNick has been airborne, so how can Kevin Feige handle himself?
"Silence, sirs!"
Zucker said in a deep voice: "I hope that Vice President Fitch and everyone here can support McNick's work and grow Wald Pictures."
It doesn't matter to the others, and Kevin Feige's face turned a little ugly.
"The second thing!"
"Harry Potter, Spider-Man has officially entered the project!"
"The company's screenwriter department and production department must submit a complete script and shooting plan within 3 months, and cast the casting and shooting at the beginning of next year. Well, that's it, the meeting will be over!"
After saying that, Zhuke didn't look at everyone's reaction. He boarded the car and left Wald Pictures with the support of his chief assistant Alexander and a group of bodyguards.
.........
On the car.
Alexander, sitting in the passenger seat, wanted to ask Zhuke several times, but because of his identity, he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Alexander, you want to ask me why Kevin Feige and company executives explained it in advance and then made the decision directly?" Zhu Ke smiled.
“Yes, boss.”
Alexander nodded and said, "Although the executives of Wald Pictures have been a little lazy in the past six months, Mr. Fitch's job is still quite outstanding. You don't plan to talk to him alone?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke's face immediately showed a joking look.
"Alexander, I am the boss of the company, they are just professional managers."
"You need to be punished for making mistakes, and you need to be beaten to be attentive!"
"In the workplace, they are not children. I don't need to coax them like I do. If I can't even figure it out, then get out as soon as possible."
I have to say that Zucker is now becoming more and more like a capitalist.
Once upon a time, when Zhuke saw those celebrities who achieved great achievements in the future, he would be very happy and deliberately make friends and win over them. However, now Zhuke only knows one truth: those who are capable will go up to the mediocre.
The workplace is the battlefield!
It’s not that you are excellent, I must coax you because there are many more people who are better than you.
.........
Soon, Zhuke and his group drove to Silicon Valley.
Destination - Wald Building!
"Boss, welcome!"
Stephen Sorenberg, the head of Water World Animation Studio, and David Messel, the chief screenwriter, went out to greet Zhuke and his group in person.
While walking towards the company's conference room, Stephen also explained the company's recent development.
"Boss, the second season of the company's "SpongeBob SquarePants" has been completed and has been sent to UPN TV. It is expected to be broadcast by the end of May."
"At the same time, the second project team led by David Messel has completed the work of 100 episodes of "Peppa Pig". It is currently conducting post-dubbing, soundtracking and other work."
Zhuke continued: "Where has the work of Finding Nemo?"
Zhuke is undoubtedly very concerned about Water World Animation Studio, which is one of the indispensable and important territory of the entire media empire.
Whether it is "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Peppa Pig", or "Find Nemo", they are all animation series that can bring a lot of profit to Zucker, and it is also the most important step for Water World Animation Studio to enter a first-class animation company.
"Boss, "Find Nemo" is currently progressing smoothly. It is expected to be completed in the first half of 1999 and the release work will be completed in the second half of 1999." Stephen responded.
Zhuke nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, Zhu Ke and others finally entered the Water World Animation Studio.
Today's animation studio is no longer the turf team at the beginning. It has a trump card series like "SpongeBob SquarePants" that dominates the field of American children's animation, and it has a foothold in America.
The entire studio has 325 employees, including 275 animation designers working on the front line.
And how big is 50 of them, they are talents poached from Jobs' Pixar animation!
For this reason, Zucker received several calls from Jobs and John Lasseter, all of whom were scolding Zucker for being inauthentic.
The workplace is like a battlefield!
Even if Zhuke had a good relationship with Jobs and Lasseter, this would not prevent Zhuke from poaching people.
Similarly, after Zucker's Wald Pictures has repeatedly been poached by large companies after launching several hot-selling films in succession.
CEO Victor is the first to bear the brunt!
Just Zucker knows that there are six major Hollywood film companies like Paramount, Warner and Disney!
Otherwise, Zhuke would not have put the option dividend reward plan on the agenda early. The company's generals are gone, and no matter how powerful Zhuke is, he will be unable to do anything!
After inspecting Water World Animation Studio, Zucker took the elevator again and arrived at LinkedIn Company located in the same building.
For the next few days, Zucker was busy handling the work.
It was not until he received a call from Henry, the head of Dafeng Capital, that he stopped working.
Chapter completed!
