Chapter 615 The Movie Was Released at the Same Time
Is the Disney Group just the publisher of the animated movie Monsters, Inc.?
Of course not only that!
In the early 1990s, when Pixar Animation had not yet risen, Pixar Animation at that time, let alone the company went public, was extremely short of funds. Jobs regretted buying Pixar more than once. Moreover, even Pixar's famous "Toy Story 1" animated film, its production funding of up to 35 million US dollars all came from the Disney Group.
It can be said that without this financial assistance provided by the Disney Group, the subsequent rise of Pixar animation would not have been possible at all.
However, Disney is not a philanthropist!
Pixar got $35 million in production funding, but it also paid a huge price, including peripheral licensing!
As we all know, the revenue of Hollywood movies in terms of peripheral licensing is often 15 to 2 times that of movie box office revenue.
Most likely so.
Animated movies are even more prosperous, often with more than 2 times the income.
But Pixar Animation is very sad.
In the 1990s, in order to obtain the "Toy Story 1" animated film, Jobs's $35 million production budget was at the cost of handing over the bulk of Pixar's peripheral licensing income in the next few years to the Disney Group.
Pixar authorized a convenient profit in the surrounding area, only 125!
The big winner is always the Disney Group!
Jobs repented more than once and said, "In the early 1990s, we got 35 million US dollars from Disney, but today, in just a few years, we have created more than 10,000 US dollars for Disney, or even more!"
John Lasseter, the leader of the Pixar Five, also complained to Zucker after a drink.
He said, "Most of the peripheral income is owned by the Disney Group, including the purchase and sale decisions of peripheral authorization, which are also owned by the Disney Group. As the copyright owner and producer, we only have the right to make suggestions. Speaking of which, how embarrassing this is! "
Pixar Animation, it is the most powerful animation company in the United States today.
However, it is also the most embarrassed animation company in the United States, no one.
Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg and mayor of New York,
He also talked about the relationship between Disney and Pixar in a TV interview.
"If Pixar didn't accept Disney's $35 million in funding, would Pixar's animation survive?"
"So, you can't just see Disney's exploitation of Pixar today!"
"In other words, this is Disney's legitimate and legitimate income? After all? The Disney Group took a huge risk by giving $35 million that year."
"The animated movie Toy Story succeeded? Pixar survived? And became the biggest animation company in the United States today, and Disney has benefited from it? I think it's a win-win partnership."
Does Michael Bloomberg make sense?
Of course it makes sense!
But? The people at Pixar don't think so; Jobs himself is even more convinced!
like now
Disney chairman Michael Eisner said in a sullen voice at Pixar Animation, "We, the Disney Group, have a perfect plan for the release of "Monsters, Inc.", and you Disney will work together, and everything will be ours."
"Humph!"
How could Jobs suffer from such humiliation? Immediately snorted, "We Pixar are the producers of "Monsters, Inc."? We are not bystanders."
puff~
"Okay, you're right~"
Michael Eisner laughed immediately, his eyes squinted, and he said very perfunctoryly, "We Disney will never treat you badly at Pixar. Of course, don't you forget? We Disney have the final decision on copyright and peripheral licensing. ."
"If you forget, I suggest you take out the contract and look it up again."
""
Jobs was furious.
From beginning to end? Jobs is not a quiet person, otherwise he would not be regarded by countless people as a representative of the word "rebellious".
But now?
He's silent? He's speechless, he can only passively submit? Even if he is now back as chairman and CEO of Apple.
The meeting eventually broke up.
In the car? The secretary couldn't help laughing and said, "boss? I saw the famous Steve Jobs, his face turned purple with anger. If his admirers saw this, he would probably be suffocated to death."
The voice fell.
Disney chairman Michael Eisner said, "As long as Disney exists for a day, as long as I am the chairman of Disney, then Pixar Animation will never be able to turn over, and will only be below us Disney."
"Jobs"
"Haha! Others say he has a bad temper. Is my temper better?"
In his words, Michael Eisner was full of disdain, and he never took Jobs seriously.
Burbank Villa.
Tonight, Zucker invited John Lasseter, the leader of the Pixar Five, to be a Hakka.
"Lasseter, it's been two days since "Monsters, Inc." and "Flying House Globe" were released. I have to remind you that this time the showdown will be released at the same time, and it will definitely be me who will win in the end!"
Zhu Kelang said.
John Lasseter smiled and said, "Do you think that without our technical support from Pixar, the water world animation under your name can complete the "Flying House Globe" so quickly?"
Not to be outdone, Zucker said, "I don't deny this. But in the process of our cooperation, you Pixar also benefited a lot."
John Lasseter was silent this time.
What did Pixar get?
Pixar Animation gets a chance to break away from Disney in the future!
If Jobs hadn't insisted on listing Pixar Animation, and thus obtained a large amount of money, Pixar Animation would have become one of Disney's subsidiaries.
But even so, Pixar animation is still not good, and it is controlled by all aspects of Disney.
Zucker continued, "I'm still saying that, in the future, if you Pixar break away from Disney, I will definitely help. This is my promise."
Time flies.
This day is already the 3rd of the month.
It is also the same day when Water World Animation's new work "Flying House Globe" and Pixar's new work "Monster Power, Inc." were released at the same time.
Countless audiences in the United States who love animated movies flock to the theater frantically, and they feel extremely happy today.
After the 9/11 incident, the North American film market, which had been silent for a long time, finally ushered in a big explosion.
The theater party, Hollywood counterparts, and media reporters are all paying close attention.
"Water World Animation and Pixar Animation, who can be the savior of the current North American film market?"
This topic has become the focus of many people's attention.
" "The first more is sent.
