The successful launch of Water World Animation really made many people envious, jealous and hateful, and some of them even had their eyes red.

Thanksgiving is approaching, and when Zucker was invited to attend the premiere of "Toy Story 2", the huge sour smell was just overwhelming!

Look, at this moment, there were two middle-aged men communicating in a low voice in the venue.

"Hey hey hey, let's see, that's Juke Wald." said a middle-aged man with big eyes.

"I saw it. It is not impossible for us in the future to list in the US stock market." The man wearing a baseball cap said confidently.

A middle-aged man with big eyes named Chris Wedge;

The man wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap is named Carlos Schaldanha;

The two of them are cartoon directors, painters and producers, and currently work in Blue Sky Studio.

Blue Sky Studio is a company that started with computer special effects. In the 1980s, it gradually changed its focus, abandoned the computer special effects business, and focused on 3D computer animation, which is more similar to Pixar animation.

In 1998, the 7-minute short film animation "Bonnie Rabbit" produced by Blue Sky Studio won the Academy Award for Best Short Film, breaking the animation award of the monopoly of large companies, and has since become famous!

Chris Wedge and Carlos Schaldanha are both directors and senior executives of Blue Sky Studio. Although they are not particularly famous at the moment, in the future, the "Ice Age" animated film produced by them will be famous all over the world.

"Ice Age" animation is definitely one of the best animated films in the 21st century!

Moreover, the most dazzling star in the film is Little Squirrel.

Although it has no lines and just keeps responding to the various heavy blows it has suffered with humming, it persists in fighting for its pine cones, and its strong spiritual perseverance is also admirable. The little squirrel was the first to appear in the film. It is a needle-like character, and because of its gorgeous and eye-catching performance, it is impressive every time.

Little Squirrel is an absolute star animated character.

What you don't know is that the voice actor of Little Squirrel is Chris Wedge, one of the directors of the film.

The famous "Rio Adventure 1" and "Rio Adventure 2" animated film are also written by Carlos Schaldanha.

"You are right. If Water World Animation can succeed, our Blue Sky Studio will definitely succeed in the future." Wedge said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha, the guy said it was great!"

Schaldan laughed: "With the box office defeat of the movie "Frozen Planet", Fox Film laid off the animation department and kicked Meldander and his team out of Fox Film; President Murdoch turned to support our Blue Sky Studios, and not long ago, he invested $10 million in our Blue Sky, and he will invest more in the future. I believe that we will be better in the future."

......

"Hi, Zhuke, congratulations, congratulations to your Water World Animation on successfully listed on the US stock market. My God~ In just over half a month, the market value has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, which is really surprising."

Jeffrey Carsonberg, the head of DreamWorks animation, came up to talk as soon as he saw Zucker.

"Thank you. I believe that once your DreamWorks Animation is listed, its market value will definitely not be low." Zhuke said with a smile.

"Well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jeffrey Carsonberg's smile immediately collapsed.

"Old guy, what are you?" Zhuke raised his eyebrows.

"Dreamworks Animation is listed on the US stock market? What a fuck!" Katsonberg said angrily.

Of course, his anger was not directed at Zucker, but at the two other giants of DreamWorks, Spielberg and David Finger.

Carsonberg looked around and then whispered: "As early as May last year, I proposed to use DreamWorks Animation as a subsidiary of DreamWorks and listed on the US stock market separately, but I was refuted by Spielberg and David, and I didn't know what to say."

There is no doubt that Katsenberg is very jealous of the successful launch of Water World Animation!

He also wanted to launch his DreamWorks animation, but he couldn't do it!

The other two of DreamWorks' giants, Spielberg and David, want to surpass the six major Hollywood teams. Therefore, the plan they have made is to go public as a whole, rather than a certain animation or music subsidiary to go public alone, which is very ambitious.

Even now, the two of them insist on DreamWorks to go public as a whole!

But......

It was precisely because of the obstruction of Spielberg and David that DreamWorks Animation missed the best time to go public. After all, an Internet bubble that swept the world lasted for several years and did not recover.

"So, Spielberg and David are really short-sighted~" Zhuke said as he said.

"Um!"

Katsenberg nodded heavily.

To be honest, Katzenberg is so dissatisfied with Spielberg now.

The two chatted for a while and then separated.

Stephen Sorenberg smiled at Zucker and said, "Boss, it seems that DreamWorks is also full of contradictions at the moment!"

Zhuke nodded and said, "You are right. Their internal conflicts are extremely serious now. The fight between shareholders, executives, and executives, and the board of directors and management is very good this year, but... you should not take Carsonberg's words too seriously."

"Uh...boss you mean, he is trying to mislead us." Stephen Sorenberg is not a fool either.

"hehe!"

Zucker smiled and said, "Carsonberg is a cunning guy. Although DreamWorks is currently in serious internal conflicts, he is definitely the only one who speaks in DreamWorks animation. Spielberg and others are not easy to use."

Katsenberg intends to mislead Zhuke, but in fact he is holding back his body!

.........

"Toy Story 2" animated film, as the sequel to "Toy Story" and as Pixar's third theater feature animation, it naturally attracted much attention.

However, many people have expressed doubts about this.

Among them, the owners of movie chain stores around the United States and dealers everywhere expressed deep concerns.

"Last year, Pixar and Disney made us miserable. I hope this year won't be like this." A dealer from Chicago gritted his teeth.

"I lost $1.5 million in seven surrounding chains in New York last year, all because of the "Beast Crisis"." A middle-aged man said angrily.

It's no wonder they are worried, after all, they were cheated last year.

Last year, Pixar Animation, which was the producer and Disney, which was the publisher, made a huge profit of $117 million before the animation was released.

The movie was released but failed to meet expectations; the sales of peripheral products were far lower than market estimates.

Last year, there were no less than 11 surrounding chain stores that closed down due to "The Bug Crisis".

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

Zucker looked at John Lasseter and smiled, "Did you hear it? They are talking about the miserable things you cheated last year."

Upon hearing this, Lasset shrugged and whispered: "Blame me. Man, I'm not Jobs, I'm just an animation director."

Zucker smiled and said, "I heard Andrew say that you also bought my Water World Animation stock?"

Lasset immediately smiled but said nothing.

As soon as Water World Animation was listed, he bought a lot of stocks. In just over a dozen days, he made a small profit, nearly 500,000 US dollars.

At the premiere of Toy Story 2 today, Jobs, as the boss, did not show up because he was planning a big event at Apple.
Chapter completed!
